“Elizabeth was wonderful! Our pups were well loved and safe. She was trustworthy and went above and beyond to make sure the house was left in excellent condition. We look forward to having her back.”


“I’m so thankful I found Carole two years ago! She’s amazing with my senior dog, Miley! Carole is communicative and so in-tune with Miley’s needs—she’s the best and I can’t imagine anyone else caring for Miley.”

“Jessica Z stayed in my house with my 14 y/o blind Boston Terrier. She was wonderful. I received daily updates and photos, she clearly took excellent care of my pup. She left my place spotless and I would highly recommend her. She is excellent and I will definitely use her again.”

“Travis was amazing with our dog Lady. Lady doesn't get along with just anybody but Travis and her hit it off right off the bat. He is professional, experienced and respectful. We loved the updates and the photos of Lady while we were away on vacation. We would hire him to watch Lady again in a heartbeat!”

“As always, Lily goes above and beyond. Helped navigate an u expected, significant GI problem with one of the dogs that required a visit for emergency care and helping mitigate a significant clean-up job. Communicated fantastically throughout the saga”

“Catherine did a great job. She took great care of our dog and two cats. She asked a lot of great questions that I wouldn’t have even thought about. Very thoughtful and thorough. We will definitely be asking her to petsit again.”

“I loved Alyssa's help taking care of my dog Tango. She did everything I asked her to do. She was very responsible and my dog Tango loved her. During my trip, she sent me photos of Tango's walks with her in the park. 100% recommended.”

“Keisha was great! She watched our 2 doodles, one with a bit of an attitude! She sent texts when she had questions and sent us pictures. Will definitely book with her again!”

“Maiah did a terrific job taking care of my dog. She gave us daily updates and photos, left the house clean and even stayed with my dog so she didn’t get lonely! Amazing!”

About: I have taken care of many animals for 10+ years. I’ve raised 5 dogs, 3 birds and even a cat. I make sure they all get the love and attention that every pet needs and I will with yours too! I can’t wait to spoil them. I attend college at UWM and currently have classes monday and wednesday! I get out of my classes at 2 pm both days so it shouldn’t be a worry! I will give attention, love and care to any pet. I will gladly play with them, take them on walks, provide them with food and even take them outside. I treat every pet as I would want to be treated as one. (Wouldn’t that be awesome)
“Mikalanne was great with my senior pups who are definitely creatures of habit. Active communication is so reassuring when I have to be away from my pet family. Highly recommend.”


“Kelly and Hutch became the best of buddies! She did everything I asked and then some. Great communication - sent photos and video. Hutch was calm and happy when we returned and his coat was fabulous after all the brushing. He’s looking forward to the next visit.”

About: I’ve been caring for pets for the past 13 years, starting with walking my neighbors’ dogs multiple times a week and stopping by to let them out when their owners were away overnight. Since then, animal care has been a constant part of my life. I’ve helped care for my own dogs in every way—from off-leash walks and swimming to bathing and attending vet appointments. My family and I have also fostered dogs ranging from 8-week-old puppies to senior pups, giving me experience with dogs of all ages and needs. In addition to dogs and cats, I have extensive experience working with horses. I also have a laid-back tabby cat of my own who’s more like a dog than a cat. I’m a huge animal lover and always care for pets as if they were my own—providing the same attention, patience, and love I’d want someone to give my animals. I’m currently a full-time student at UWM, but I have a very flexible schedule. I attend classes three days a week, and most of my coursework can be done on my laptop. This allows me to spend plenty of quality time with your pet throughout the day and easily accommodate feedings, walks, playtime, and check-ins. I care for every pet as if they were my own. I understand that for most people, pets are family, and I treat them with the same love, respect, and attention I give my own animals. When I’m caring for pets , I prioritize their safety, comfort, and routines so they feel secure and well cared for at all times.
“Jackie was absolutely wonderful! Not only did she take excellent care of our high-need 16.5-year-old dog, she also took great care of our home. She provided updates along the way and followed all of our instructions for caring for Jack (no small feat). We can't speak highly enough about Jackie.”
“Carrianne did a wonderful job caring for my dog when I went out of town for a weekend. Penny takes some time to warm up to people and Carrianne was very patient and understanding throughout that process. She followed the care instructions I left and sent daily updates with important information (e.g., walks, eating habits, general behavior) with photos. She also stayed overnight in my apartment and left everything really tidy. I couldn't be happier with the care Penny received and will definitely rebook for future travel plans!”

“Michaela was incredibly sweet and my dogs just loved her. The shy one was cuddling by the end of the weekend. Michaela kept me updated with notes and photos and was a wonderful houseguest. highly recommend her for your boarding needs!”

Riverwest pet parents share their Rover experiences
Catie is a gem! We met twice before she stayed with our two small dogs for 4 nights. Catie updated us frequently and left our house spotless… and our dogs love her! She is kind, highly reliable, a great communicator and is a truly lovely person. So happy to have found her!

Hi Michelle, Thank you for taking such great care of Una (dog) and Larry (cat) this weekend. Larry usually hides from strangers, so the fact that she sat out with you shows how comfortable they both were in your company. We appreciated the consistent updates and photos, as well as you taking Una for a walk. Thank you also for cleaning Larry's box. The house looks wonderful, and both pets seem very relaxed. You are a pleasure to work with, and I would highly recommend your services to anyone. We look forward to booking you again in the future.

Jessica did an excellent job woth my puppy Bailey. They were best buddies within days. She communicated with and sent me pictures of Bailey when I was on vacation. She followed all my directions and they did great. Jessica went out of her way to make the house nice for my return. She is coming back in February.

Jessica stayed at our home for the week and took the best care of Pickles and Brownie and allowed us to enjoy vacation to the fullest! She checked in throughout the day and sent lots of pictures. We never worried about the boys knowing they were being taken care of and given love while we were away. Definitely recommend Jessica for any walks or extended stays needed to care for your fur babies! So thankful!

Marilia communicated often sending updates and pictures, and was very open to our instructions and the pets’ daily routines. We felt good that Marilia would care for them well while we were able to focus on our flight process without having to worry if the pets were eating and going potty when they needed to. Thank you so much for looking after them!

Sarah did an excellent job. Cooper seemed to really take to her and seemed so happy in all of the pictures and videos she sent us. We have never really left him with anyone in the past and we were so relieved that she was so wonderful with him. She left our house in perfect shape and we really appreciated that. I would recommend Sarah to anyone in need of a sitter for their dog. Phil and Arlene Wesson
