About: After several busy months on Rover with almost nonstop bookings, I have had such great stays with dozens of dogs, no accidents in the houses, no bites, no runaways, zero negative experiences. I feel confident that with me, you’re getting a premium stay for your pets for a really good value! I’m incredibly hands on and present with the pets, with them 24/7 and very adaptable with the different needs and personalities. I’m attentive with different care instructions and really shower the animals with positive attention 😊 I have no pets or kids but I am a pet lover in a nice home with a big fenced in yard. This is not a business for me, it’s something I have enjoyed doing for my family and friends, and if you want your beloved pet to be in a calm but fun, comfortable environment while you’re away, I can extend my service to you. I recently started doing home stays/drop ins for the pet sitting too and enjoyed it. I currently have a really flexible schedule with a lot of availability. I live with my dad that occasionally says hi if the dog or cat is friendly but mostly the house is big enough that they never cross paths. I have a fenced in yard and a big house with a lot of space that I can also section off by closing doors. I typically take the animals out several times a day, feed them, and let them roam around the house or snuggle with me. I like when pet owners bring a bed for their pets so I can make them their own space but they’re welcome to chill with me in whatever I’m doing. I’m youthful, active, and responsible. I have a naturally friendly, calm demeanor that animals and people respond well to. I have no pets right now but used to have a pit/black lab mix that I loved dearly so I love pits and other breeds with historically bad reputations. I frequently sit my aunt’s beagle mix who’s just a little old pup that sparked my interest for pet sitting because it was so fun to have visits from him. He and my old dog are in a bunch of my pics. With all animals I just try to make them comfortable and let them feel at home.

“I’ve booked with Kelsey twice now within the last few months and I would book her services again in a heartbeat! She’s very thorough when she is taking care of my cats, and she provides an adorable Rover card every visit. She is fast to respond to messages, and 100% trustworthy with my cats! Kelsey is awesome! 😸😺”
“Teanna was great! We needed a last minute sitter and she was very flexible with a meet and greet and coming to feed and water our cats. She was also very understanding when I had reception issues when trying to reply to messages. My cats were well cared for, and I would book Teanna again if I ever have the need. Thank you so much! ?”

About: I’ve always had a deep love for animals and believe they deserve all the care and love in the world! With years of experience working with pets and currently taking classes for dog training, I’m committed to providing excellent care and ensuring your furry baby is happy and well cared for. 😊 I am currently working for an amazing company called Tails N’ Trails LCC. I pick up dogs and take them on off leash adventures/walks/hikes. They get tons of exercise and love and treats! Building relationships with clients and the dogs are our number 1 priority. They are always safe in my hands and I absolutely love what I do. My current schedule is typically 9-4 Monday through Friday, with weekends off. I currently cannot board your furry friend in my home! My apartment does not accept dogs-only cats. I Would love to watch them in the comfort of their home :)
About: I was lucky to grow up with lots of pets and always had an obsession with animals. My Mom did Rover for 6 years and I went from assisting her to loving it enough to go full time. If you want a pet sitter that loves and cares about your pets as much as you do, i’m your guy!😁 I’m currently looking to do pet sitting full time. I’m accepting both recurring and as needed clients. I am very flexible so any questions feel free to ask I include a visit update and picture of your pet sent to you at the end of every visit. When walking dogs, I make sure to never leave the house without the leash secured. Any medications, special diets, general likes and dislikes your pets may have, silly quirks; we will work together to make sure all needs are met and importantly that your pet feels happy and comfortable too!
“Courtney is absolutely amazing! Wish I could provide more than five stars! Professional, kind, responsible, respectful, and loving with our boys. Wonderful communication, updates, and pictures. The whole experience was top notch and we appreciate how much she cared about our boys and respected our home. Highly, highly recommend. Thank you Courtney!!”

About: I've taken care of a variety of pets of my own and others, including cats, dogs, reptiles, birds, small mammals, and fish. I've also been a zookeeper caring for many other types of animals which has given me additional knowledge and experience with animal husbandry. I love learning each animals personality and catering to their specific needs! I'm currently working part time as a zookeeper so have a good amount of time to look after more animals. My work schedule isn't the same each week but I am available on both weekdays and weekends, mornings and evenings. I have experience caring for a variety of animal species and am comfortable with any size/age. I have experience with puppies and kittens as well as older animals and am comfortable with helping with specific needs such as medications or training.
“Emily is a great sitter for my dog Scout! We've been working together for about a year, and she's able to handle senior/disabled dog issues, including lifting/carrying paralyzed dog & dealing with potty issues that occur when Scout is alone.”


About: Hello my name is Stajia and I’m 29 years old. I work as a Medical Assistant, and am in school online for my bachelors. I have a pretty flexible schedule, and looking forward to watching your furr puppies. I grew up with dogs in my home, I’ve volunteered at the humane society dog walking, I’ve watched several family members pets. I currently work full time but I am very flexible. I travel for work so I am always stopping at home in between. I will be able to make sure your furr baby gets all of the love & attention they need. I have more than enough space in my home for your furry baby to play, relax, and feel comfortable during their stay. I also have a friendly 1-year-old dog of my own who loves having company and can help your pup feel comfortable, happy, and right at home. I’m also a mom of three daughters, ages 5 months, 9 years, and 10 years old. My older girls absolutely love dogs and enjoy giving them plenty of attention and affection! 🥰🐶 Your pet will be welcomed into a loving, family-oriented environment where they’ll receive lots of care, playtime, attention, and cuddles. My goal is to make your furry baby feel safe, calm, and loved while they’re away from home. ❤️🐾
“Hannah was amazing! Everyday she came she communicated everything with us and make sure to send lots of pictures! Having a puppy can be hard, but Hannah made sure to continue to work on our training skills. Her communication was always timely and she was so friendly. Sadie loved having her come over for a little each day will miss her so much.”

About: I’m a genuine animal lover and caretaker with 8+ years of experience caring for neighborhood dogs. I currently have a deaf white Boxer/Pitbull mix who is my best girl and has taught me so much about patience, communication, and unconditional love. We’re an active duo who loves long daily walks, playtime, cuddles, treats, and lots of affection. Training a deaf dog has given me hands-on experience with positive reinforcement, patience, body-language communication, and adapting training to each dog’s individual needs. I’ve also worked extensively with my dog on leash reactivity through play, socialization, and gradual exposure. We live in a very dog-friendly neighborhood in Wauwatosa, so we’ve learned how to confidently navigate busy walks, give other dogs space when needed, and build positive relationships with our neighborhood pups. I’ll treat your pet like they’re part of the family—with plenty of love, attention, patience, exercise, and, of course, treats! 🐾💕 I have a very consistent routine that makes it easy for me to give pets plenty of attention and exercise throughout the day. We start with an early morning walk, followed by a quick potty break around lunch. I work 9–5 and work within about 15 minutes of home, so I’m able to check in easily and have plenty of flexibility throughout my workday. I’m also the boss, which gives me the flexibility to work from home 1–2 days a week when needed. Evenings are usually another nice walk, playtime, and lots of cuddles. On weekends, we love getting a pup cup, visiting the dog park, or taking a long walk on one of the nearby trails. I’m happy to include your pup in our routine or tailor their care to whatever schedule and activity level works best for them! 🐾💕 I like to follow each pet parent’s routine and preferences as closely as possible. Every dog is different, and I’m happy to follow your rules when it comes to crating, furniture, sleeping arrangements, feeding, and daily routines. I’m comfortable crate training, keeping dogs separated when needed, or allowing them on the furniture and in bed for extra cuddles—whatever makes them feel comfortable and at home. My dog, Nova, is a deaf Boxer/Pitbull mix and is fully free-roaming in our home rather than crate trained. She loves other dogs and has learned to adapt to different personalities and read other dogs’ cues through regular socialization and occasional daycare. Safety and supervision are very important to me. I have Furbo cameras throughout my home and keep a close eye on alerts throughout the day, especially when I’m away. I’m also comfortable giving dogs their own space or separating them when needed to make sure everyone feels safe and comfortable. Whether your pet is staying in my home or I’m caring for them in yours, my goal is to make their routine feel as familiar, comfortable, and stress-free as possible.
About: I have owned and watch dogs but also cats. I have a love for animals and I get very excited meeting new ones. It’s the best experience to me. I’m available anytime. I would be able to do last minute set ups. I’m sometimes away from home around 2-4 pm but that’s not often Everyone in the house loves animals, especially dogs. The most love is given like their our own. We get very excited and take them out for long walks. My dog has been around puppies before and he loves to be around other dogs.
“Lilyan was awesome! :) This was my first time using rover and I was super nervous but she really made it easy. She left detailed notes and sent over great photos making the process 10X easier. I also thought it was really sweet that she picked up after the dogs and I could tell in the photos they were out of breathe from playing during her stops at the house. Thank you a million Lilyan and would definitely choose you again!”


About: Hi! have two dogs at home that I call my brothers and love them to death. My dad won't let them live with me right now so I always go home to visit and play with them. I have worked at a doggy daycare for over a year, so I do have professional experience with every type of dog. I promise I will show your dog all the love it deserves. I am currently going to school at University of Wisconsin Milwaukee and studying Biology and Zoology. After I finish school I want to transfer to University of Wisconsin-Madsion and receive my Prevet Degree. I want to help animals and care for them in my future in any way I can. I will watch over your dog like their my dog and treat them in the best possible way.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Germantown
Nicole built rapport with us and our energetic GSP instantly. The 2 new friends enjoyed their time together, Arlo behaved well with her. On our end,Nicole is very professional on the business side and great with dogs, too. We look forward to working with her again!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Courtney was absolutely phenomenal and, without question, the best Rover sitter we’ve had in the 7 years we’ve been using Rover. From the moment we left, she gave us complete peace of mind through her incredibly detailed check-ins, thoughtful updates, and frequent photos. It never felt like we were wondering how our dogs were doing because Courtney kept us informed every step of the way. Her updates weren’t just routine—they were personal, thorough, and showed how much she genuinely cared about our dogs’ well-being and happiness. What really stood out was the trust she built with us. It’s clear that she treats every pet as if they were her own. We could tell our dogs were comfortable, loved, and receiving exceptional care while we were away. This is super important because our dog’s aren’t always the quickest to trust and warm up to new people. The quality of communication, attention to detail, and level of responsibility she demonstrated were truly above and beyond anything we’ve experienced with previous sitters. If you’re looking for someone who is reliable, caring, communicative, and will give your pets outstanding care, Courtney is the person you want. We would book her again without hesitation and cannot recommend her highly enough. Thank you, Courtney, for taking such amazing care of our dogs!

Kim was a life saver for us! Our pups do not do well in kennels and are not dog friendly, so having Kim do drop-in visits throughout the day was a total lifesaver! Our one dog has a reoccurring tummy issue that happens few months, unfortunately this happened while we were away. Kim helped keep an eye on her, and even cleaned up when she got sick. We will be using Kim again for any future sitting needs!

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Germantown choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
