About: I grew up with both cats and dogs, have two spoiled cats of my own, and spend some of my free time volunteering with cats at a local animal shelter. As a pet owner myself, I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, snuggles, or just having a friendly human around, I’ll do my best to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I also provide plenty of updates and photos because I always want a million photos of my cats when I’m away from them! I have a flexible schedule that allows me to prioritize visits, walks (for dogs), and drop-ins without rushing. I’m able to plan my day around pet care commitments and make sure each animal gets consistent attention, care, and reliability. As I currently have two cats of my own, feeding, playtime, litter box care, and general check-ins are already part of my daily rhythm. On top of that, I volunteer at an animal shelter, which keeps me regularly engaged with different cats and their needs. I provide care in my client’s home through drop-in visits and/or walks, depending on the pet’s needs. I always follow the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible to keep them comfortable and stress free while their owner is away. During visits, I handle feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, and any medication needs if instructed. I also make sure each pet gets attention and companionship based on their personality, whether that’s active play or quiet company. I treat every home with respect, keep things clean and tidy, and always prioritize safety, consistency, and clear communication with pet parents through updates and photos.
“Cathy was reliable and communicative - just like last time! She remembered our cats and their personalities. We appreciated the pics and reports and will definitely request her again in the future.”
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats of all ages and sizes, even dogs that can be leash, collar, and dog aggressive when walking. I am mostly available later in the week and weekends due to being a full time student, but have breaks in between my school days! There is a green area for dogs down the street from me and a quick 15 minute walk towards the lake for more walking paths!
About: I currently have no dogs of my own however I have always been surrounded by dogs. Whether that be small or relatively large dogs. I am quite energetic and love spending time with any dog I come across. I got a few pets of my own :) I only work 3 days a week so most of my week I’m surrounded by a bunch of fur babies. I do not live in a house however I have a fairly large neighborhood and many parks around me in which they are dog friendly.
About: Growing up up, I helped my family take care of four dogs. When I met my partner 2 years ago, I grew a love for cats too and we now have three together. I have a flexible job, and am mostly looking to meet and pet more cats. I can come in the morning and/or evening to feed and play with your cat(s), clean the litter box, and provide enrichment. I am extremely patient with our cats and have the philosophy that a cat doesn't have an iPhone, job, or other entertainment the way we do. They also don't communicate the same way. Because of this, cats under my care recieve dutiful attention, and respect.
About: I’ve always loved being around dogs and have hands-on experience caring for pets for family and friends. I’ve taken my brother’s dog on walks and potty breaks numerous times and understand the importance of exercise, routine, and giving dogs plenty of attention. I’ve also cared for my sister’s dog for several days at a time while she was out of town, managing feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and providing companionship. In addition, I’ve helped friends by stopping by during the day to let their dogs outside and make sure they were comfortable and cared for. I understand that every dog has a unique personality and needs, and I strive to provide patient, reliable, and loving care so both pets and owners feel at ease. Whether your dog needs a quick potty break, a fun walk, or some extra attention while you’re away, I’m committed to treating them like they’re my own. I'm currently in between jobs, so I am free any day of the week. I usually spend my mornings on my job hunt and then go for a walk or run and exercise. I'm very physically active and enjoy being outside, so I'm very open and flexible! I have a private dog park at my apartment building that is great! I am also open to whatever my clients' needs and wants are. If they need me to stay at their place for a little to help their pet feel comfortable, I can accommodate. As mentioned before, I love being outside for walks, or if you have a sporty dog that enjoys runs, I can help out as well! I have a great track record for trust worthiness and dependability. I'm very communicative and will always be available to send pictures or talk through any questions you may have.
About: I have had pets all of my life, dogs when I was younger and until I moved up to Milwaukee, and I've had a cat for the last 3 years. I do my best to make sure pets feel cared for and loved. I have spent a lot of time getting my cat Sybil to "sit", "stand up", and "lay down". So I at the very least I have a lot of patience I currently work 9-5 but I work from home on Thursday and Fridays! So I have a pretty flexible schedule to take care of your pets. I make sure to follow your instructions to a T. I will likely not let them out of my sight for the duration of my stay with your pet.
“An absolutely stellar and trustworthy pet sitter. River took care of my two cats who had never been without me before and did an excellent job. They spent quality time with the cats and send me tons of pictures and updates. They were also okay with my schedule being a bit flexible which was really important to me. I will definitely be booking with them again in the future.”
About: Hi, I'm Laura! I've been pet sitting on and off for several years. I had such good experiences with those animals and now I'm looking to expand and do it on a more regular basis in the Milwaukee area and around the country. I work remotely which allows me to be very flexible in when and where I am available for walks, drop-ins, and sits. I cannot currently host dogs in my own apartment, but I promise to care for your home and pets as if they were my own! Every pet is unique and I love getting to know their personality and interests to give the best care I can.
About: I've grown up with dogs since I was 8 years old and have loved taken on the responsibilities. I also have experience taking care of friends' and family's variety of pets. I currently have my own 1 year old Australian Shepherd who has taught me so much about raising and training a dog. I will give your pets the attention, time, and patience that they deserve. I currently work remotely so I am very flexible with providing pet care and ensuring that your pets get quality time! I love spending time walking, playing fetch, or exercising with my dog everyday and would love to do the same with yours. I am always thoughtful of a pet's needs and am respectful of their space. I practice good spatial awareness with my own high energy dog and understand how important it is to properly monitor a pet's behavior. I currently have availability at any time of day throughout the week. For my own pets, I ensure that they are properly fed and watered throughout the day. All of them have designated time to play each day and are groomed regularly. I will give this same attention to care to any animal I watch and am responsible for. While house sitting or dropping, I follow instructions given to me as best I can and I respect you and your pets' space. Whatever is best for you, I will accommodate!
“Grace took great care of my two cats!! She kept me updated on how they were doing, sent pictures of them, & played with them. My kitties seemed happy and very well taken care of when I got home.”
“Angela was amazing! We have two cats, one of which is quite afraid of new people and hides under the couch. Angela was able to draw him out and earn his trust very quickly, which meant we could relax on vacation without worrying that he was spending an extended period of time with no snuggling, petting, or playing (which has happened in the past with other sitters). We were thrilled!”
“Taylor was great to work with. He was punctual and took time to love on my baby and make sure she was doing good. They played with her favorite toys and cuddled a bit. I knew that my kitty was in great hands with Taylor and I trust him like family with my babies.”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with 3 years of professional experience working at a dog daycare, boarding, and grooming facility. During that time, I had the opportunity to become a manager for about half of my time there, giving me experience caring for dogs with all kinds of personalities, ages, energy levels, and individual needs. I’m comfortable with more than just the basics of dog care. I have experience administering medications, cleaning wounds, feeding, and keeping a close eye on dogs to make sure they’re happy, comfortable, and safe. I’m also a big fan of long walks! If your pup has lots of energy, I’d be more than happy to take them on longer walks or give them plenty of playtime to help them get their energy out. I love driving too, so if your dog enjoys car rides, I’d happily take them along for a little adventure—and maybe even a pup cup if they’re a fan! I understand that every dog is different, and I’m happy to follow your routine and give your pup the kind of care they’re used to at home. With enough advance notice, I may also be able to take time off work depending on the level of care your dog needs. I’ve also had a cat in my life for as long as I can remember, so I’m very comfortable caring for cats and understanding their different personalities and needs. I know that some cats are social and playful while others prefer their space, and I’m happy to meet them where they’re comfortable. I’m experienced with providing food, fresh water, attention, playtime, and lots of love while making sure they feel safe and comfortable in their own home. Your animals’ safety, happiness, and comfort are my top priorities. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your pet and give them lots of love while you’re away! I currently work at nights during the weekday Monday-Wednesday and morning and nights Thursday-Saturday. During any free time I have I would love to spend time and take care of animals! Usually I meet with the pet prior to and go through their day to day routine with parents to accommodate them as much possible and still keep them on their routine!

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Milwaukee
Avery did an amazing job taking care of our two cats while we were out of the country for a week+. One of our cats has to take daily medication and Avery was great about coming over to meet the cats and see the process before we left. We came home to two relaxed and happy kitties!
Our cats love Travis and we always feel more comfortable knowing he is spending time with them. Travis has a good attention to detail and clearly prioritizes our boys needs. He's also secretly a professional cat photographer or something, we always look forward to his check in photos!
I completely trust Mikala with my babies! She put my mind at ease and helped me last minute to ensure my cats were cared for. She gave me behavioral updates and sent pictures so I could see that they were having treats and eating. She is also very responsive in communicating. I really appreciate her and I will be using her services again!

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

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 .
