About: I have been taking care of dogs and cats ever since I can remember. I have been in charge of feeding/walking to bathing and playing with animals. I always have 3 day weekends! This means you can go on your weekend getaway and I'll give your fur baby all the attention they need! I treat every animal as my own. I will never put them in a harmful situation.In my own home, I have ample space for them to run and play. In the clients home, I am respectful of their rules and will treat their pet as well as they do!
About: Since High School (10+ years), family members, neighbors, and close friends have reached out to me for pet care. I personally grew up with cats, but I have care for cats, dogs, fish, and even bearded dragons! When I care for your pets, I strive to be patient and understanding first and foremost. Meeting new people is just as nerve-racking as meeting new animals! I enjoy learning your pet's behavior, building trust, bonding with them and hopefully, if they let me, giving them lots of love! I try to be open-minded and understanding as I know not every pet warms up to people. Feel free to reach out and we can chat more about what you need for your pet :) I'm looking forward to spending time with them! I currently have a flexible schedule, so pet-sitting and dog-walking can fit in whenever I have free space! Typically I will have pet-sitting over the weekends, but my availability will be updated as needed. As I live in an apartment, I currently am not able to care for your pets in my own home. Though, I have no problem coming to your home to care for your pets! This includes if I am needed there overnight.
“Cheryl was able to take a last minute supper time and short walk so Molly could “ do her business” I greatly appreciated her flexibility when I was gone for 8 hours unexpectedly.”
“Maddalena is very reliable and takes exceptional care of our two kitties! We appreciate knowing our cats are well cared for while we are away. Can’t say enough good things about her! Thank you Maddalena!”
About: I have always owned dogs. I love dogs more than people and will treat your dog as if they were my own. I have experience with all dogs including, large dogs, senior dogs, and puppies. I currently work from home so I have the flexibility to meet your needs. I do not have childcare on Fridays so I am unable to see dogs on that day. I will treat your dog as my own. I will respect your space and finish the job I came to do. I like to spend a few minutes to say hello to the dog and make them comfortable.
“Ashley was able to help us out on very short notice. We were at a wedding out of town and she came to our house to give our dog his afternoon medication. She actually sent a video of her giving the medication at the time we had scheduled with her. It’s amazing to find someone who really cared for our dog. We will definitely use Ashley again!”
“She was very helpful! It didn't work out with my dogs being at her house so we worked it out to her dropping in on them at my house to take care of them. She's one of the best!”
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats for friends and family. Whether you have a puppy or senior dog, I have worked with them all. I'm available on the weekends any time and on the weekdays before 2pm for any of your pet needs. I'm local to Cedarburg but willing to make the trip further. I make sure my cats are as happy as possible. They have more space in my house than I do and I always make sure they get their playtime.
About: I’ve been a veterinary technician for about 2 years. I’ve done pet sitting on the side for about 5 years.

I can change cat litter. I am always available through the app or by phone if there are any questions or concerns
“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 absolutely love dogs and have a Yorkie myself that I've raised since 6 weeks. She is very friendly and has been spaded and vaccinated; she would love some company from time to time!! Dogs love that I am an active and playful person. I enjoy going on walks and the doggy park. Also, all dogs love a TREAT so they will play games and receive yummy treats!! I'm very passionate about dogs and that they to be treated with integrity and love. I really hate to see any type of animal undergo abuse and mistreatment when they did not ask to be here. I would see that your dog is well taken care of in my care. They'll love my doggy talk and playful nature for sure!!
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life and currently care for four dogs and one cat of my own. Caring for multiple pets has taught me patience, responsibility, and how to recognize each animal’s unique personality and needs. From energetic playtime and long walks to quiet cuddles and sticking to feeding routines, I’m comfortable providing attentive, loving care. Also, I am comfortable and experienced in handling medication for dogs as one of my dogs at home has diabetes. I understand that every pet is part of the family, and I’ll treat yours with the same kindness, respect, and affection that I give my own. I’m currently working part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule to care for your pet. I’ll do my best to accommodate your preferred days and times, and I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that fits both you and your furry friend. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have experience caring for my own four dogs and one cat, so I’m familiar with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or taking them for a walk, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, fresh water, and lots of love. I’ll also respect your pet’s routine, follow any feeding or medication instructions carefully, and provide regular updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
“Sofia was absolutely fantastic- during our initial meeting, her first impression was so lovely and kind and the cats were completely drawn to her. She went above and beyond brushing them and cleaning up messes. We will definitely be calling her to care for them again.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Germantown
I have a 5 year old Malinois who is very energetic and can be moody. From the meet and greet through the whole time sitting Nicole was amazing with him. I received plenty of pictures and detailed updates which was very much appreciated. I would definitely book with Nicole again and highly recommend her for care!
Paul did an excellent job caring for my dogs! He went above and beyond, even taking the time to clean up accidents and make sure everything was taken care of. He was incredibly patient, kind, and gentle with my elderly dogs, who have some special needs. I truly appreciated the care and attention he gave them. I highly recommend him and would absolutely have him care for my dogs 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!

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.

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 Meet & Greet .
