About: We've had pets for years and know how much better care is when it's given one-on-one. As you'll see from our profile, we've taken a couple of breaks over the years as work and moves kept us busy, but we're now settled in downtown Milwaukee and ready to meet new animal friends. Since we live in an apartment, we're focusing on dog walks and drop-in visits, so your pet can stay comfortable at home on their own routine. 3rd Ward/Juneau Town puts us steps from the lakefront, the RiverWalk, and a covered dog park, which makes for some great walks. Whether it's a brisk outing, a slow stroll for a senior pup, or company and a meal for a homebody cat, your pet will be treated like family while you're away. Thanks for visiting our profile! We're both retired and home during the day, so we're flexible, available, and quick to respond. That means we can fit walks and drop-ins around your schedule, including midday visits, and make sure your pet gets plenty of potty breaks, exercise, and attention. Since we're focused on walks and drop-in visits in your own home, your pet stays in their familiar, comfortable space the whole time, no new environment to adjust to. We're happy to follow your routines exactly, from feeding and medication schedules to leash and crate preferences, so everything feels normal for your pet while you're away.
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!
“Avery was great with my dog! Followed all requests and went above and beyond. She was very communicative and accommodating. I would definitely recommend booking with her and I will again too! :)”
“Leandrea did a superb job with my kitty Sunny! I was anxious about leaving him due to him just having surgery a couple of days prior, but I was immediately put at ease with her quality of care! I would recommend her to anyone looking for care for their pet! I will definitely be booking for all my pet needs in the future! Thank you for being so wonderful!”
“Jessica was great! Very responsive and communicative and appreciated how timely her visits were. Our cats seemed to be very happy having her drop in too and we loved all the photos 😊”
“Chelsea was great! So responsible and caring. Recently, our kitty started needing 2x daily medications. Chelsea gave him his meds no problem and sent pictures during every visit, which we really appreciated. It was nice coming home to fresh water bowls and happy and medicated cats!! Our lady cat who normally gives us lots of attitude when we get home was happy to see us. We will definitely ask Chelsea to stop in on our kitties again!”
About: I’m a regular dog foster and walker at MADACC, so I’m comfortable catering to all different pup personalities and needs! I’ve taken care of all kinds of dogs since I was young, from puppies to senior with medical needs. I work remote 3 days a week and have no pets of my own, so I have lots of availability to give your dog the attention and care they need! Whether you’re looking for a walker or somewhere to take your pup for a long weekend, I can make most things work. I have a spacious apartment in a dog-friendly building where your dog will have plenty of space to lounge around! I live close to the Summerfest grounds so I have plenty of access to green space for long walks, or just a quick jaunt around the block depending on their preferences. I treat every dog I care for like my own, so you can rest assured your pup will be well cared for with me!
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 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 always had a dog ever since I was a little girl. As I got older, I started walking my neighbors' dogs and dog-sitting, and I even considered being a vet for a while because of my passion for animals. I’m a graduate student at Marquette University. I have flexibility this semester to spend ample time with dogs and take them on walks. I can come in the mornings and at nights, depending on the day. I have always had dogs and can handle a wide range of sizes. My childhood dog was 125 pounds, so I can handle big dogs and little ones too. I know how to properly walk them and care for them.
About: Growing up in a two dog household and volunteering at our local humane society, I was constantly surrounded by dogs and animals as a child. Into adulthood, I have years of experience with puppies, elderly dogs, and many personalities as I professionally dog walked for Gentle Hearts in Denver, and foster cared for the Montana Humane Society while constantly dog sitting for friends and family. Professional past includes house training the pups, feeding, walk training, lots of playing, and constant daily routine! I have cared for elderly dogs with medication care, carrying them outside, hand feeding and bathing. I have a deep belief in positive reinforcement training, and highly discourage using force or fear when caring for a dog. I believe in using treats, playtime and outside zoomies as a reward for good behavior. The importance of a dog feeling safe, loved, and positively trained is my priority! I have caring experience with animals from hamsters to lizards, to kitties, birds and farm animals (I volunteered on farms caring for sheep, cows, and horses!) I have one eight year old dog of my own currently, after our fourteen year old dog just recently passed away. We miss him dearly and hold him in our hearts every single day. I truly have been surrounded and cared for dogs and pets my whole life, and can’t wait to assist in caring for yours! I currently am available to dog walk and pet-sit on Monday until 4 pm, Tuesdays until 4 pm, and Fridays until 4 pm. I work in the service industry as a server and bartender, and tend to be busier at night. I am unavailable on Saturdays as I work doubles at the restaurant. I believe in positive reinforcement training, by giving treats, pets and playtime as a reward. I am capable of walking small to extra large dogs, with much experience from pups to elderly. I believe in three walks a day for a healthy dog, and will typically take your pet on a 30-60 minute walk if they are healthy and able!
About: I have taken care of dogs and was a dog walker around the neighborhood since I was 10. Neighbors and loved ones have relied on me to take care of their beloved pets. I have grown up with many dogs myself and I love to spend time with dogs and help them stay happy. I currently work a full time job, 9-5. I work in downtown Milwaukee and am more than willing to come let out any pets during lunch. I am available to stay at your house during the week or weekends. Whatever is required, I would certainly make it work! I would follow every precaution necessary for your pets. I have always adhered to the owners wishing in pet care. My family has a dog with some odd tendencies himself so I am ready for anything!
“Jessica did a great job running energy off our active Australian Shepherd. She was content when we got home. PLUS she took an amazing picture of Maisy playing tetherball!!”
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

Pet 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!
One of us Aussie rescues has separation anxiety, so it's difficult for me to leave the house when my wife is out of town. Angela sat with them for two mornings in a row and was terrific to work with in every way. We'll definitely work with her again whenever she's available. Thanks, Angela!
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!

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
