“Mateo was communicative, trustworthy, and reliable. I am very anxious leaving my babies alone, especially because I just moved to the area not too long ago, and I absolutely trusted him. Thank you so much for taking such good care of my babies! 🥹”

About: I grew up on a farm in Wisconsin, so I’ve had a lot of experience with many different animals; cats, dogs, pigs, goats; you name it! Having just returned from an extended stay in Spain, I’m looking forward to helping families out with their fur babies. I currently live on an 11 acre, unfenced, property and am able to take in a dog or two for a few days. I’m currently working about 30 hours a week 2 minutes from my home. I may look for additional hours as a server, but for now I work 7-2:30 M-F I am able to do drop-ins or stay the night; however, I prefer to not spend the night. I can also keep a dog or two overnight at my house.
About: I have dreamed about walking dogs since I was a little girl and now I have found a way to do it and get paid! I have two Weiner dogs at my mom's house, a labordooddle at my dad's, and two cats of my own.I know and love all kinds of dogs and cats! I will care and treat them like they are my own so trust me they will get the best care ever! They may even get a little spoiled... But I can be strict if you have certain rules you want them to abide by! I have training. Please consider me when thinking about who can care for your furry children. I will give them the best care they deserve! I work part time and have a flexible schedule, so I can be available when needed. I have a car for easy transportation as well. My cats get supervised time outside on harnesses and time in the breezeway with open windows to get some fresh air. My neighborhood is good for taking dogs on walks and there is a wonderful dog park near by!
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, and I’ll be honest… I usually prefer hanging out with dogs over most people. 🐾 They’re loyal, goofy, and always bring good energy. I love giving dogs the attention, exercise, and care they deserve I work full-time but I’m done by 3 p.m. every day, leaving plenty of time for walks, playtime, and giving your pup the attention they deserve. I’m flexible and open to a variety of schedules. I’m unable to host pets or provide care in my own home. However, I’m fully available for in-home pet sitting at your residence, including walks, feeding, and drop-in care as needed

“Sofia was absolutely fantastic- during our initial meeting, her first impression was so lovely and kind and the cats were completely drawn to her. She went above and beyond brushing them and cleaning up messes. We will definitely be calling her to care for them again.”
About: A walk without a dog is a missed opportunity. I have been a pet owner for 30 years. Chester, Goldie and Anya graced our home with love, lots of fur and many cuddles. I care for all pets as I have my own with a nurturing, adventurous attitude. I look forward to meeting your family! I go for long walks daily and would love to include your pet on the journey. I am available to care for your pet before and after work. I am off most weekends and some weekdays as well. I have a loving kitty who grew up with dogs and cats. I am happy to care for your pet in home. I have an available kennel for pups who find comfort there at night and am also happy to cuddle and play with them where they thrive. Miles of greenway are just steps away from my home.
About: I've grown up with pets ever since I was little. I've been trusted even from young ages to walk, feed, and clean up after dogs. I've never had a bad experience and I'm always willing to encounter any and every kind of dog out there with lots of love and care! I have my own pet at home, had him for 10 years. Even after so long, it's so easy and even fun sometimes to do the little things for your pets like feeding them, walking them, and just making sure you spend some quality time with them! There's never a moment I don't want to be around my pet, or any pet for that matter! I always think the key to good pet care is real love and attention. Watching for what your pets want and giving them it will make them happy. If it's attention, bring on the cuddles! If it's a walk, let's do it! And that goes for pets that aren't mine as well. I always care for them like they're mine, and will pay attention to what they want as well as what their owners know is best too!
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and have years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I’ve frequently pet sat for neighbors, family friends, and people through word of mouth, helping with feeding, walks, playtime, medications, overnight care, litter boxes, and keeping pets comfortable while their owners are away. I’m very patient, attentive, and reliable, and I genuinely love spending time with animals. I recently joined this app to connect with more pet owners and continue doing something I’ve always enjoyed! I usually work out early in the morning around 7:30, so the rest of my day is very open and flexible for pet care. I’m able to fit walks, drop-ins, feeding schedules, playtime, very easily into my routine. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, so caring for pets never feels like a chore to me. I’m very reliable with communication and making sure pets stay on their normal routines while their owners are away. I have experience caring for dogs with very different personalities and needs. I currently help take care of my own dog at home, who stays in a fenced-in yard, and I also frequently help with my best friend’s and girlfriend’s dogs as well. Since they’re all different breeds and temperaments, I’m used to adjusting care depending on the dog, whether that means high-energy play, extra patience, sticking to strict routines, or making them feel comfortable in new environments. I always prioritize safety, attention, and making pets feel relaxed and cared for.
About: I know how hard it can be to leave your pet with someone. With over 15 years of experience dog sitting/walking for friends and clients I understand the importance of trusting someone with your pet. You, as well as your pet, need someone you feel comfortable with. I have dog sat for a range of dogs from a 70 pound lab to a 5 pound chihuahua. I also have experience with a wide range of ages from puppies to senior dogs. I am involved in a rescue that works with senior and special need pups and am currently fostering one of the rescue dogs. I also have one dog of my own so I know the value of having someone watch your pets as if they were their own. As a person who loves animals, I am reminded every day the reason these four legged creatures become such an important part of our family. I have a somewhat flexible schedule so am available for stop in visits and walks as well as house sitting. I am willing to work with your schedule. I currently am not taking pets in my home. I am willing to come over for walks or potty breaks at your house if needed.
About: I provide attentive, compassionate, and reliable care for dogs of all breeds and sizes. I specialize in creating a safe, comfortable environment—whether in your home or mine—ensuring pets receive plenty of exercise, affection, and individualized attention. With strong communication skills and a genuine love for animals, I keep pet parents updated and at ease throughout every stay. Whether it’s daily walks, overnight stays, or special care routines, I’m committed to treating every dog like family. I have a flexible work schedule so I’m able to provide breaks and attention as needed throughout the day. I am able to attend to your pet as needed. I have a large back yard that the dogs can play in. I also have the Oak Leaf trail next to my house we can go on frequent walks!
About: I've always loved to be around animals, whether that was taking care of them, playing with them or even just being in their company. I am an athlete so I love to take dogs on a walk or run or just being outdoors in general. I have taken care of mostly family, and family friends dogs for long periods at a time. I will have plenty of time to take care of your dog, I will usually have time in the mornings or early afternoon, due to another job I have in the afternoons. I will make sure they have a blast and that even though I am an outsider coming in, that by the time I leave I won't be anymore.
About: I love walking and with a dog it's even better! I enjoy being outside and spending time with dogs. I will treat your dog as if it were my own, give him/her special attention, and a walk/home while you are away. Dogs have a special place in my heart and I enjoy spending time with other people's dogs, taking them for walks, and giving your dog love and attention. I have had experience walking dogs and taking care of dogs throughout my life. I have 2 rescue dogs are both beagles. I am an avid outdoor enthusiast and love taking them for hikes in the woods, on trails in state parks, and around the neighborhood. I am available for all the services Rover offers. I can board/watch your dogs at my home. I would love to meet you and your dog! I am a teacher and love coming home to my 2 dogs. We spend a lot of time outside and go for two walks a day. I have a fenced in backyard that is about a 1/2 of an acre. Our fence is 6 feet high. I have two dogs myself, so we have lots of treats and toys as well as extra dog beds. I am also a foster for the Humane Society, Midwest BREW, and Fluffy Dog Wellness & Rescue. I have fostered over 20 dogs in my home of all different breeds and ages. I find it really rewarding!
About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life. I currently have a cocker spaniel who is my whole world. I have trained him myself and love him like a child. I walked dogs for my hometown humane society growing up and will be happy to continue dog centered work for my West Bend and surrounding areas community! I work part time serving so mornings and all days mondays and tuesdays I am available! I love being outside and getting my steps in and have plenty of time to set aside for walking my furry friends!

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Port Washington choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Port Washington with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
