Cat Sitting Milwaukee

“Jessica stayed with our two (somewhat needy) cats while we were gone for over a week. She gave us daily updates and communication, which gave us peace of mind. Our cats warmed up to her quickly and seemed to enjoy her company. Our house was also in pristine condition when we got back!”

“Alexy and Christian were great sitters for our 3 cats. Followed instructions well and made sure they were fed properly (some have medicine mixed with their food) Plenty of pictures of the kitties and of what was taken care of were sent to us. Would gladly hire them again to cat sit!”

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: I’m a queer yoga teacher born and raised in Milwaukee. I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life. At four, my family started fostering cats (mamas and kittens were my faaaav) and I would help out as much as I could. Yes, I did try to name a kitten Washcloth. No, my mom did not let it stand. This love for animals carried forward throughout my youth with four cats, a German Shepard mix, a malamute, a boxer and pit. My house was always full. I got a cat as soon as I could when I moved out on my own and about seven years ago I got a rescue pup of my own. I also have a Rottweiler who I helped raise and train from 7 weeks old. I dedicated so much time to gently training both of them and just pouring love into them. I can definitely help with training and love working with dogs on walking well on leash. I also really believe in positive reinforcement for your pets - they just want to make us proud. Truly a universal desire. I love long walks with dogs and lots of coregulation calm time. Trust that your babies will be treated like they are family. I am a yoga teacher and teach about 10 classes per week. Other than that I work remotely from my computer, so I can flex my time. I really value a slow paced life, so being able to really take my time and go for walks/hikes, cooking a gourmet dinner at home for myself and cuddling up with a good book. I have always been a very regimented, schedule following pet owner. I think it helps create consistency and eases anxiety for animals. Routines help animals thrive. I think frequent bathroom breaks are important. Long walks early in the day before the world is busy and it gets too hot in the summer are a priority. I also really love snuggling up and just having quiet, calm time with pets. I am happy to follow whatever guidelines/special requests pet parents have. I know how important it is to keep things consistent for pets! There’s never any judgement from me!

“Extremely thankful to Kayla for taking such great care of my three cats! They all seem very happy :) Kayla was an awesome communicator and provided really nice updates for me when I was out of town. Thank you!!!”

About: Hi! I'm excited to have the chance to meet your pup(s)! I have personal and professional petcare experience. I have been lucky enough to have had dogs my whole life. I also recently spent 2 years as a professional dogwalker with Wag. I've cared and walked dogs of all kinds, older, younger, pullers, take-their-timers, and can't wait until someone wants me to take their dog for a run! :) I love puppies and helping to train, youtube certified. I have also volunteered at the Humane Society walking dogs there! For boarding, I do have a cat, but can easily separate the areas in my apartment to accommodate. I work full-time 830-5. I have a camera in my place in case of an emergency and work close enough and have amazing flexibility to make adjustments to my schedule. Safety is always the priority. Harness is preferred, but a secure collar/leash is a must. I also tend to avoid other dogs/people at all times to ensure a calm and easygoing visit. I'm very accessible by phone and follow instructions to the dot. I live steps away from the Oak Leaf Trail, so expect lovely and peaceful walks if boarding.

About: My sister and I grew up playing and helping our older neighbors in the area walk and take care of their dogs. My family has had cats my whole life that I’ve had experience taking care of. In high school I’d house/pet sit friends & family friends’ dogs & cats while they were on vacation, & started rover sitting during college! An actor, bartender, & graduate of UWMilwaukee with an open schedule! Looking to fill that time taking care of, spending time with, and getting to know your pets! I love the outdoors and I can take your dogs on lots of walks based on their needs! I always check if doors are locked before I leave/sleep & make sure to put away anything that pets can get into if they are left to roam. I stay clean so I make sure to clean any mess I or the pets create. I can also crate your pets if needed.

“Courtney was fantastic! I will definitely book with her again and highly recommend her. She went above and beyond by coming over prior to sitting to meet the animals and see the place. It made the sitting experience more comfortable for all of us! She kept the litter boxes and areas around them clean, food and water full and clean, and made sure the cats were played with and cuddled, as they love. She sent me lots of photo updates and correspondence with her was always fast and easy. A wasp got into my house the last day, and she took care of it before leaving to make sure the critters were safe until I got home! Again, above and beyond. Book her!”

“Willow seemed really happy after her visits, great communication and really cute photos :)”

About: No kids or pets of my own and a big Jeep means my outdoorsy lifestyle is open and flexible for your fur babies. I'm comfortable with dogs from all walks of life. I have confident experience with reactive dogs and big breeds especially. I'm a part time barista, working mostly evenings, so morning and mid-day walks work best for me. I am available for night walks after work as well, if that works for your schedule. Weekend boarding is best with advance notice, as I occasionally pick up Friday and Saturday shifts at the coffee shop. I live on the second floor with access to a fenced in backyard. Hardwood floors in home. No kids or other pets of my own. I do have houseplants if your dog is sensitive to soils, fungus, or has a history of plant eating. Crating is an option I'm comfortable with if that's what helps your furry friend feel safe, though my ideal set up is to share my whole space and enriching lifestyle with your pup, or to visit them in their home where they're already comfortable. I'm mobile with the Jeep as well, so we don't have to stick to my neighborhood if your dog is reactive and needs some extra space.

“Spencer was amazing - asked questions, showed up exactly on time even during a busy holiday weekend, provided lots of pictures and updates, managed to win over my feistiest most diva cat (as much as you can win with her anyway lol), and demonstrated the kindness, integrity, and respect I would love to see with every pet sitter. I was able to travel for the weekend knowing that my cats were in good hands - I definitely will be booking again for my next trip!”

Kate M.

“Abby was very friendly upon our meet and greet and took great care of our kitties while we were away. She sent updated photos of every visit of clean litter boxes and fresh water bowls and food.”

“Keisha was a Godsend, one of our cat's requires daily meds, which he hates taking, and she made sure he got them with understanding and positivity, even when personally tested knowing the need that he received them.”

About: Hi! I'm Kalina. I've been around animals my whole life, and they've always been a huge part of it. I've worked with rescue dogs and have experience with pets of all different personalities, so I know that every animal deserves patience, understanding, and care that's tailored to them. I have two cats and a deaf dog of my own, so I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pets with someone else. My deaf pup has taught me a lot about paying attention to body language, being patient, and finding what works best for each individual pet. Whether your pet is full of energy and loves to play or would rather curl up on the couch, I'm happy to follow their routine and make sure they feel comfortable while you're away. I'll treat them like they're my own and keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you never have to wonder how they're doing. I know our pets are family, and my goal is to make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for until you're back home. Care for your pet fits naturally into my daily routine because I have a very open and flexible schedule. That allows me to be available for morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend visits, and I can easily adjust my day to meet your pet's needs. Whether it's a walk, a drop-in visit, or spending extra time keeping your fur baby company, I'm happy to work around their routine to help them feel comfortable, happy and cared for. When I'm caring for pets in your home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal as possible so they feel safe and comfortable while you're away. I'll carefully follow any instructions you leave regarding feeding, walks, medications, potty breaks, playtime, and any other special needs or preferences. I've been around animals my whole life and have experience working with rescue dogs. My mom also fosters dogs, and I've cared for many of her foster dogs while she's away. That experience has taught me to be patient with dogs who may be shy, anxious, or still adjusting to new people and environments. I treat every home with respect and every pet like they're my own. I'll make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection, and I'll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident they're happy and well cared for while you're away.

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!

About: I have been petsitting since I was young. I have sat for dogs, cats, and various rodents, but I'm open to watching and learning about any other animals that might come along. I have 3+ years of experience at doggy daycares, and am versed in a number of training techniques. I also have a certificate as a Veterinary Support Assistant, so I know how to help your animal if they become sick or injured during our stay. I am Fear Free certified, and will use my skills to make sure your pet has the most comfortable stay possible. I have experience bathing dogs and cutting their nails. I would love to meet great pets and their people. I strive to care for them and teach them skills so they can have a better life! I will make a positive impact on your and your dog's life if you choose me to be your professional sitter. While pet care is a focus of mine, I have a varied schedule at both my jobs. I currently work nights Wednesday through Sunday, but I am always happy to discuss specific rates for various times and duration requirements. I use Fear Free techniques to ensure that the animals are having the best time possible during my stay. I make sure to give them plenty of exercise and attention and treat them as if they were my own pet.

About: Hi! My name is Larissa! I’m 28 and I moved to Milwaukee a little over a year ago from Eau Claire, WI. I’ve been on the pet sitting site WAG before making this transfer to Rover. I adore all animals! I grew up with 2 Yorkshire Terriers, but I love big dogs too! My senior year of high school I got a job at a local animal shelter where I learned in-depth ways to care for cats and dogs including feeding, walking, medications, senior care, bathing, etc. I’ve cared for various animals over the last 12 years, and I have great references to provide. I’m responsible, reliable, warm, caring, and work-hard with integrity. I understand that animals truly are a part of the family :) I work 2 part-time jobs Tuesday- Friday, but I’m flexible on weekends and willing to pet sit on weeknights as well. My roommate has a cat, so unfortunately I cannot provide boarding services. Please reach out with questions. I’m excited to hear from you and build a connection! I work 2 part-time jobs but I am flexible on weekends and on weeknights as well. Most weeknights I’m available after 5:30pm I make sure to clearly communicate with regular updates and pictures, especially if requested. I’m honest and follow through with expectations. I want to build a caring relationship with you and your fur baby. I deeply understand the trust that goes into allowing someone else into your home and caring for your fur baby. I treat every single animal as if they were my own.

“Miranda was prompt, communicative, and reliable! She clearly loves dogs! We will definitely request her services again.”

Rebecca S.

“Ray was fantastic—friendly, reliable, and very communicative. She took great care of my cat and plants during the holidays, even with winter power outages, and she left my home spotless. I felt completely at ease while I was away and would gladly hire Ray again. Highly recommend.”

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life and learned a lot from my older sister, who worked as a vet tech and groomer. I’m comfortable with all breeds and sizes, from Great Danes to dachshunds, and have completed training courses with my own dogs, so I understand behavior and routines. I’m very caring and detail-oriented, making sure each pet’s needs, schedule, and comfort are always a priority. I also have a cat and have pet sat many times, so I’m experienced with both dogs and cats and focused on keeping them safe, happy, and stress-free while you’re away. Pet care fits easily into my routine because my schedule as a college student is flexible, especially in the summer when I don’t have classes. I’m able to be consistent and reliable with visits and make pets a priority. follow each pet’s routine closely and always prioritize their safety, comfort, and well-being. I listen carefully to owner instructions, ask questions if I need clarification, and make sure I fully understand each pet’s needs. I also provide good communication and updates so owners feel at ease while they’re away. While caring for pets in the home, I focus on keeping their normal routine consistent and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for at all times.
