“Rebecca did a great job and will be definitely booking with her again! She was on time and communicative during the time she was watching my cats!”

Zak K.

“Sydney connected with Leo very well on our meet and greet, which is hard to do because of his age and anxiety. From the photos she shared they had a good first visit.”

Cherie S.

“Cathy is truly amazing! She communicates well and is very reliable. She went above and beyond in caring for my cat Teddy. He definitely didn't make it easy for her, but Cathy is a true professional when it comes to petcare. Hopefully he didn't ruin our chance to have Cathy watch him again in the future!”

About: I have two kitties at home that are my babies, I understand how difficult it can be to find a trustworthy caretaker. I am reliable and will treat your pets with the utmost care and respect! I currently work full time on a rotating 2-2-3 schedule so I have flexible weekday and weekend availability in the early morning, afternoons, and evenings. At home, I care for my two cats, I know how important it is to keep exit doors shut, keep harmful foods out of reach, and stick to a strict routine. I bring that exact same high level of alertness and respect into your home during drop-in visits. When we are out on walks, your pets will have my full, undivided attention. You can trust that I will strictly follow all of your specific instructions regarding locking up your house, leashing, commands, and food allergies to ensure your pet is safe.

About: Taking care of dogs is something I have enjoyed for much of my life, even a malanois can’t resist my affection! I’m very excited to have fun with your fur baby! I am currently working part time so my availability is open to help you and your lovely pet! I am able to easily balance your pet care with my own schedule. Figuring out your pets needs is crucial, then building a good routine around play, rest and bathroom breaks. Building a good routine is very important for me to develop a good relationship with your friend!

“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.”

“Kat was great! She took the time to get to know Lily. She was punctual, great communication, and she sent pictures. I would use her again for sure.”

About: Friends and family have trusted me as a babysitter, pet sitter, plant sitter and house sitter from the time I was a young one myself. Their recommendations organically generated a steady word-of-mouth side business for me. At any given time, I'm often caring for someone's home, plants, pets, kids, or some combination of the above! I truly enjoy providing these types of services in addition to my other professional pursuits. My current schedule is pretty flexible, and I'm used to blocking out time every day to care for animals, plants, the home front, etc. As a dog owner myself, I'm familiar with the daily demands; however, I share the duties of my own dog with my partner, so I'm able to integrate other animals into this routine as needed. I know that matters of trust and safety are very important to parents, pet parents and home owners. For this reason, I try to be very adaptable in order to meet the individual standards and personal preferences of my clients.

“Ashlee was great at communicating and went above and beyond for my large dog with medical needs. She was able to assist him outside using a sling and adhere to his physical restrictions post surgery.”

About: I have had dogs of my own since I was 9 years old. I LOVE dogs--especially small ones! I have trained all of my dogs. I board friends' dogs in my home all the time, and am now excited to move into boarding strangers' dogs here on Rover! I work full-time, a mix of in-office and at home. I work from home on Thursdays and have flexibility on Fridays, so it works best for me to be able to provide boarding on long weekends (Thursday-Sunday). I am happy to provide your pet with seamless care and match what they are used to in your home. I have a large yard and a quiet neighborhood. My home has many rooms and I have some gates so that I can separate pets if needed. I also have a puppy play pen for smaller/younger pups who need their own space.

About: I’ve been a dog lover my whole life 🐶🤍 I grew up with both a Golden Retriever and a Yorkie, so I’ve had experience with very different personalities, sizes, and energy levels! I’ve cared for an older dog who needed a little extra patience and gentleness, as well as a younger, energetic pup who was always ready to play. I’ve also fostered dogs through a local humane society, which has given me even more experience getting to know new dogs, helping them feel comfortable, and giving them lots of love and attention while they’re in my care. 🐾 I know how much pets mean to their people, so I’ll always treat your pup like they’re part of the family — whether we’re going for a walk, taking a potty break, playing for a bit, or just getting some extra love while you’re away! 💕 As a teacher, I have a pretty consistent schedule, which makes it easy for me to plan pet care into my routine! 🍎🐾 I’m available after 4:00 PM on weekdays for walks and drop-in visits, and I have much more flexibility on weekends. I love having something active and fun to look forward to after the school day, and spending time with dogs is the perfect way to unwind. Whether your pup needs an evening walk, a potty break, some playtime, or a little extra attention, I’d be happy to help! 💕 I’ll always care for your pet in a way that follows their normal routine and your specific instructions! 🐾 During drop-ins, I can take them outside for potty breaks, refresh their water, play with them, give treats or meals if needed, and make sure they get plenty of love and attention. I’m also happy to crate your pup after a visit if that’s part of their usual routine. For walks, I’ll make sure your dog is securely leashed and keep a close eye on their surroundings so they stay safe and comfortable. I know every pet is different, so I’m happy to adjust to whatever makes your pup feel happiest and most at ease! 💕

About: **update** I’ve moved neighborhoods! I now live near Wauwatosa! I do have a fenced in yard! I’ll still take clients in Bayview too! ☺️☺️ I had a dog in my house every since I was in elementary school, and loved each one of them more than anything in the world. I have been dog sitting since my mid 20s, and thoroughly enjoy taking care of and loving dogs of all sizes! I work close to home Wednesday through Sunday, no more than 7 hours at a time. That leaves plenty of time for several walks, playtime and the dog park(if allowed). I live 2 blocks from several parks and a 10 minute drive to 3 dog parks. Your pup(s) will get plenty of exercise and have free roam of my house, and can sleep wherever they choose including the furniture and beds(unless otherwise instructed:) )

“This chick is phenomenal! She has a great personality and is very engaged with animals. My German shepherd loves her and even gets to play in the water with her. Her communication skills are stellar. I received live updates and photos while at work. If you want someone reliable and dedicated to your fur babies, she is it. I HIGHLY recommend her! <3”

“We had a great experience with Travis, and will absolutely book with him again. He was responsive, easy to communicate with, and kept us updated while we were away. Our dogs were happy, healthy, and well cared for when we returned, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.”

“Charlotte came to do a meet and greet, and then was very quickly available for a drop in visit! She has great communication and Lenny loves her!”

About: I have taken care of dogs of different sizes since I was about 12 years old. Coworkers, friends and family have allowed me to dog sit their furry friends for 3+ days in addition to walking and feeding their dogs. I also trained my family’s rescue collie when he was a puppy. I currently work full time. But I will be able to watch your pup most mornings / evenings and weekends. (8 am - 530 pm) If given instructions, I will follow them perfectly. Your dog is part of your family. And my wish is to make them as comfortable as possible when walking/watching them. This could either be from petting the animal, exercising the dog, or giving the animal distance until he/she is comfortable.
