Dog Sitting in Milwaukee

About: I provide dependable, attentive care and treat every pet like they are my own. I understand that every animal has different needs and personalities, so I take the time to make pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. I’m patient with shy or anxious pets, energetic with playful dogs, and gentle with senior animals who may need extra support and slower-paced care. I’m also very detail-oriented and make sure routines are followed closely, including feeding schedules, medications, walks, potty breaks, and playtime. I communicate consistently with pet owners through updates and photos so they always know their pet is happy and well cared for. What sets me apart most is the amount of genuine attention and affection I give to each pet. I don’t just “watch” animals — I spend quality time with them to make sure they feel comfortable, engaged, and cared for while you’re away. I'm currently nannying on weekdays from 8:00am - 4:30 pm, so I’m available for morning visits before work, evening walks/check-ins, and overnight care depending on the pet’s needs. I’m especially flexible on weekends and have much more availability for walks, drop-ins, extended stays, and quality playtime. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine consistent, stress-free, and fun. I make sure pets are fed on schedule, get plenty of exercise, attention, and playtime, and feel comfortable while their owners are away. I have experience with dogs of all sizes. I have two large-breed dogs at home, so I’m comfortable handling bigger, high-energy dogs, and I have also frequently dog sat for smaller-breed dogs with different temperaments and care needs. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and always follow owner instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special care requests.

About: For the past 10 years, I’ve cared for neighbors’ and friends’ dogs—often for long stretches while they’re away—so I’ve worked with a variety of breeds and personalities. I grew up around dogs and currently have pets of my own, so I’m comfortable with daily routines, walks, feeding schedules, and giving plenty of exercise and playtime. Whether a dog is energetic, shy, or extra cuddly, I make sure they feel safe, loved, and entertained. I stick closely to owner instructions, keep things clean, and treat every dog like part of the family. Pet care fits easily into my routine because I work from home and have flexible hours. I can accommodate regular check-ins, feeding schedules, walks, and playtime throughout the day. I have my own transportation, so getting to and from clients’ homes is never an issue. I’m reliable, consistent, and able to adapt to each pet’s daily needs. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, safety and comfort come first. I follow all owner instructions closely, keep routines consistent, and make sure pets are always secure—whether that means proper leash use, safe outdoor time, or monitoring food and water. In a client’s home, I treat the space with respect and leave things clean and organized. If pets are in my home, they get a calm, loving environment with plenty of attention, play, and rest. I always communicate clearly, send updates, and make sure owners feel confident their pets are in good hands.

About: I've had dogs and other animals my entire life. I had big dogs growing up with Landseer Newfoundlands as well as corgis growing up. I have also had cats growing up until they passed. Lastly I worked and spent most of my summers out at the barn with the horses, and a variety of animals there. So, I have quite a variety of animal experience under my belt. I currently own a corgi that lives with me in my apartment. I currently work full time as an engineer Monday through Friday. Though, I work from home and work in the downtown area, so pretty flexible if needed downtown. I am also available to walk / take care of animals on the weekends. I have had dogs my whole life, I currently have a dog in my apartment that I take on frequent walks, and play with him. I would treat any prospective dogs as my own and try to give them the love and care that they are temporarily missing out from with their owner.

“Emily was great ? she was always on time, prepped food as instructed, cleaned up after my kitties perfectly. Highly recommended!”

“Ilene took such good care of my cats while I was out of town. She sent me so many pictures and it was so nice and reassuring to see how much fun my girls were having while I was away. I will definitely be booking her again in the future.”

About: I grew up with both dogs and cats. I currently have two cats of my own that I love with my entire heart! I know what it’s like to have pet parent guilt leaving your fur babies alone at home, and I would love to help take that weight off your heart! I am a professional volleyball player. I live here in Milwaukee during the off-season and don't have much to do in the summer. I workout in the mornings at 9am, but after that I am completely free. My gym is out in Wauwatosa, so it is no problem for me to make a trip out to the suburbs every day! I am usually busy on weekends, but weekdays are almost always wide open! I will follow whatever plan/schedule that you have laid out for your fur babies! I would feel most comfortable walking and caring for dogs that are trained on leash!

About: Experienced in long term pet care, taking care of dogs for extended time periods when owners are on vacation and everyday experience taking care of pets while families are working, including drop ins and dog walks I work remotely and have a lot of free time open during the day for drop ins and dog walks. I’m available in the mornings, afternoons, and nights! Will respect any rules of the house and am very open to watch / play with the dogs in any way they’re comfortable with and used to

“Nevaeh was awesome! She sent us text updates including pictures/videos the whole time giving us peace of mind. Our dog Mallie loved her! Would definitely recommend!”

About: I love nurturing all living things from children (although I am not yet a parent to a human), to plants and animals alike! I tend to put all living things before my own needs to prioritize their well-being. In addition, I recently took in a crested gecko and have learned so much about caring for reptiles as well. Everyday before leaving my apartment I make sure that both of my pets have plenty of food and water. In addition, I check to ensure that my plants are out of reach from my cat and that my bioactive terrarium is maintaining humidity. I care for pets by making sure they have food, water, a clean liter box, a moist environment, and get taken out for potty breaks depending on which animal I am caring for. I am willing to care for your pets with the same considerations in mind.

About: I have been taking care of pets of all kinds for friends and family since a very young age. My parents' friends and coworkers use me as their go-to for pet sitting, and I am honored that they trust me to take care of their precious family members. I have walked dogs of all kinds, and I have house-sat for families with dogs, cats, and everything in between. I also spent my high school years volunteering at the local animal shelter, so I would like to say I've seen it all! I am a full-time student at Marquette University, but I have quite a bit of free time that I can spend with your beloved pets. There are multiple times throughout the day that I am available to feed or walk your pets, and I am happy to spend nights with your pets in your home. I am not able to bring your pet to my own home, but I am happy to come to you for your needs. I promise full respect for you, your pet, and your property, and I will care for your pet exactly as you tell me to. I would be happy to take your pet for a short walk around the block, a long trek, or even take them for a trip to the park.

About: I’m a dog/cat mom who is a little obsessed with animals and can’t wait to meet yours! Open for boarding in my home, walks, check ins, feeding, etc. I currently have a standard poodle and a mini poodle who are the center of my life (let’s face it, the run my life!). They love guests and would be thrilled to meet your dog and cat while you’re away. I have 20+ years of experience with dogs and cats, able to give medications, provide senior care, and daily walks, play time. I’d love to help give your pet their very best life! I work a very flexible schedule and can usually accommodate your needs. I’m available weekends and most holidays as well. I’ll do my best to work together to find the best schedule for your pet. My dogs have a lovely home and they kindly let me live there too. 😆. The dogs are allowed free run of the house at all times, though I do have crates for when they want some unbothered time, at their choice. I live in a great neighborhood filled with dogs so we meet a lot of friends on our walks, too.

About: I’ve dog & cat-sitted for friends, neighbors, and family somewhat frequently over my life. I also used to travel when I first adopted my own cats, so I understand how important it is to trust the person looking after your animal. I prefer to stick to the animal’s routine as much as possible - I find it’s less stressful for them. On the days I’m available, I can flex to a customer’s needs. It’s all about the animal more than it’s about me. Routines are important, so I would want to stick to yours. Also, if you’re gone longer than a weekend/days I’m available, feel free to reach out. I have an unusual work schedule, and if I’m a good fit for you & your pet, I am happy to be flexible beyond what’s “officially” listed as my availability. I’m also happy to get mail, water plants, and I always wash food/water bowls for the pets I visit. I live in a condo very close to downtown. The neighborhood is very walkable. Because I traveled for work, sometimes at the last minute, I also accept last minute appointments - because those can be stressful enough! It’s nice knowing you can count on someone on short notice.

About: I grew up with dogs my entire life! I shared a pitbull/mastiff with my partner for 3 years. I have experience with both big and small dogs, as well as raising a puppy! I love any dog and will treat all with the same love and care. I work 2 jobs and am in nursing school, but I have some available time that I’m looking to do more while also meeting some new furry friends and get outdoors! I treat all dogs with love and care, and I tend to be good with any sort of dog. I find that all dogs usually love me!

About: Hi! I would be an amazing pet sitter because I love animals. Ever since I was little I have had pets whether dogs, cats, ducks or turtles. I am currently in college and away from my dog Nalla so taking care of your pet would honestly be special for me too. One of the main reasons I am on rover is because I love to walk and hike and figured why not add a companion. Hi! I am currently on break from work and school so I can make anything work! I am available everyday of the week at any hours necessary! I sadly cannot have any pets in my home because I live in an apartment but I can take that out for walks in areas near me! I also am used to taking care of a dog when I am home so can do whatever the owner needs!

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!

“Lindsay did an exceptional job caring for my dog while I was away. She was highly communicative throughout the entire stay, spent quality time with him, and regularly sent updates and photos that gave me peace of mind during my trip. It was clear that she genuinely cared about his well-being and made sure he was comfortable and happy. I would absolutely trust Lindsay with my dog again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.”

“Mariah was incredibly communicative throughout the entire process. Highly Recommended”

Nowell W.

“Angela was extremely responsive and took great care of our kitties! We felt so much better knowing she was checking in on them! Will definitely be booking again in the future!”

Ali E.

“I booked with her because she advertised a very low rate ($10 per day for drop‑in visits) and was conveniently located. However, weeks after the booking was confirmed, she reached out to request a higher rate—first $18, then $15 as a compromise—explaining that she hadn’t updated her pricing and hadn’t mentioned it earlier. Because this happened close to my travel dates, I felt pressured to accept the higher price to avoid risking my cat’s care while I was away. That said, she did take good care of my cat, and I appreciated the photos and updates during my trip. Future clients may want to confirm pricing upfront to avoid last‑minute changes.”

Alieux C.

“Lisa was spectacular. We have already booked her again and we haven't been home for twelve hours. Punctual, professional, she clearly made our reticent pet comfortable and somehow got him out of his shell. I would recommend her unequivocally and without reservation. Awesome!”
