“What can l say? Travis was absolutely wonderful and very attentive to my 4 fur children. I felt completely comfortable leaving them in his care and they took right to him, although it always takes a while for Chance. He’s just special 😁. I would definitely book with Travis again and l have a trip coming up real soon!!! Thank you Travis! SN: he even washed their dishes for me!!!”
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!
About: I would love to be there for your fur baby ❤️ I am mama to a kind 7 year old reactive German Shepherd that I have trained and two very sweet 5 year old cats. When walking dogs I always carry a clicker, lots of treats, and a harness that wraps around my waist and their leash for extra security. I am currently part time, with full availability in the mornings and on weekends. I am big on clear and transparent communication when it comes to scheduling and ensuring all your fur baby’s needs I have a fenced in back yard and a separate room that your sweet angel will stay in! The room is a street facing second floor bedroom with a window (this is my studio, a part of our home)
About: What sets me apart is my hands on experience as a dog foster, which has given me the ability to care for dogs with a wide range of personalities, energy levels, and needs. I’m comfortable adjusting to new routines quickly and helping pets feel safe and settled in a new environment. I provide calm, attentive, in home care where pets are treated like family. I focus on keeping their routine consistent, whether that includes feeding schedules, potty breaks, crate time, or extra play and attention. I’ve cared for both high energy dogs who need structure and exercise, as well as more anxious or relaxed dogs who need a calm, comforting space. My goal is always to make pets feel secure, loved, and at home while their owners are away and to keep owners updated so they can feel at ease. My schedule is flexible, I work part time and I’m able to provide consistent care throughout the day. I’m typically home most of the day, so pets get plenty of attention, potty breaks, playtime, and supervision. I can adjust my daily routine around the pets in my care and make sure their needs are met on a regular schedule. I provide care in a calm, clean, and pet friendly home where safety and comfort are the top priority. Pets are supervised throughout the day and are never left unattended for long periods. I follow each pet’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, and any specific instructions from the owner. I introduce pets slowly into my home to help them feel comfortable and settled. I have a fenced yard for safe outdoor time, and all outdoor breaks are always supervised. Inside, pets have a cozy, relaxed environment where they can rest and feel at home. Pets are welcome on furniture if that is allowed by their owner, so they can stay as comfortable as they are in their own home. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and comfort level, especially during the adjustment period. My goal is to create a safe, low stress, loving environment, and I provide regular updates so owners always know how their pet is doing.
“Jessica took great care of my cat! It was clear from the daily cards that my cat warmed up to her quickly, and they spent good quality time snuggling and playing together.”
About: I work primarily from home, outside of home for just a few hours a couple days a week. I love, love love dogs! have two fur babies right now, 11 years old and quite friendly. They have a mild temperament and enjoy playing with other dogs although they have slowed down in the past few years. I've had dogs my entire life with my first dog was given to me by my father when I was 3 years old and I can't recall a long span of time where I didn't have a dog. That is except a 4 year period after my fur baby Misha passed away 20 years ago. I play with my girls daily, give them massages, brush them and just make sure they get enough attention throughout the day. We go for short walks also...they are small so they don't make it too far without tiring out. They do enjoy the dog parks occasionally.
About: Hi there! I am a current foster cat mom who watches animals as a part time gig. I have about 5+ return dog/cat sitting clients off the app but Rover is a great way to make that connection. I currently reside in St. Francis and would love to connect with anyone needing dog or cat watching. I also love dog walking as well! I’d like to think I am pretty easy going and hope to make this sometimes stressful time of you being away from your pet, as easy as possible. I had a German Sheppard before I moved to Milwaukee. Raised him as a puppy until he passed on. My family also had two labs when I was growing up and a Doberman now. I have the most experience with larger breeds but am not apposed to watching smaller breeds of dogs either. I am open to kittens, puppy’s and cats too. I am available for over night stays, early am walks and day time play. Weekend are pretty free for drop ins or overnight stays as well. Any questions, just ask! Thank you, Megan I work from home during the day and like to get out on walks. I will always be home to watch over your pooch and cat care needs. I am a caregiver and naturally very nurturing. I would treat your pet as my own. I am the go to sitter for my friend group, including 4 golden doodles and one husky!
“Sydney connected with Leo very well on our meet and greet, which is hard to do because of his age and anxiety. From the photos she shared they had a good first visit.”
“Emily took great care of my three kitties while I was gone. She was wonderful at communicating and following the instructions I left. The litter area is clean and she watered my plants! I highly recommend her for your pet care. A+++”
“Maddy was very thorough each time she dropped in to take care of my kitties. Each visit included pictures and comments about the visit. It was obvious she fed them well and provided plenty of water for them. Maddy was very supportive and made me feel very reassured they were in great hands. I highly recommend Maddy!”
About: I have about 10 years experience training and working hunting dogs. I have about 3 years experience visiting people's homes to take care of their dogs and cats. I work from 6:30AM to 3:00PM each weekday. I can wake up early and check on your pet before my work, and again after work. I am free in the evenings too. I live in a small apartment with one cat. I am not available to offer pet boarding services. Hopefully I can buy a house in the future!
“Cindi took great care of my two cats although they stayed well hidden! Very responsible and great communication. It was a one time drop in visit. I already have her booked for future dates.”
About: I have had all sorts of pets since I was a kid - dogs, cats, fish, hamsters - so I understand body language and can know what your animal needs/wants based off that. I also worked at PetSmart, during which I was tasked with taking care of our cats and hamsters; therefore, I have ample experience with a variety of pets needs and personalities. I am currently a student, so my schedule is odd but I have plenty of time to come visit your pets or house sit! I am free everyday mainly midday and in the evening, but I can fit early morning visits as well. I can do any necessary task, be it bathing your pets, walking them, or simply feeding them and letting them out. I will also make sure they feel comfortable and safe with me before moving forward with care.
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.
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats of all ages and sizes, even dogs that can be leash, collar, and dog aggressive when walking. I am mostly available later in the week and weekends due to being a full time student, but have breaks in between my school days! There is a green area for dogs down the street from me and a quick 15 minute walk towards the lake for more walking paths!
“Jeremy was an amazing cat sitter! Both my cats were immediately comfortable and really grew to like Jeremy’s daily visits and play time. Super responsive and always sending lots of pics for me to check in on- it’s was such a relief to have them in Jeremy’s care. Highly recommend!!!”
About: I've been around cats and dogs for most of my life and genuinely love spending time with animals. I'm comfortable caring for energetic dogs who need plenty of exercise as well as shy or independent cats who prefer a gentler approach. My goal is always to make pets feel happy, safe, and cared for while giving owners peace of mind. As a graduate student with a flexible schedule, I'm able to offer reliable pet care throughout the week. Most of my classes are online, which allows me to be available during many daytime hours for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting. I also work part-time, but I carefully manage my schedule to ensure pets receive the attention and care they deserve. In addition, I'm generally available on weekends, making it easier to accommodate your pet care needs. I strive to be dependable, communicative, and flexible so you can feel confident your pets are in good hands while you're away. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide care in your pet's familiar home environment, where they can maintain their normal routine and feel most at ease. Because I have a cat of my own, I do not offer boarding in my home. This allows me to ensure the safety and well-being of both your pets and mine. I am committed to following your pet's care instructions, maintaining a clean and secure environment, and providing dependable communication throughout each visit so you can have peace of mind while you're away.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Saint Francis
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!
Thanks to Cory, our Siberian husky was well cared for. Cory's understanding of dog behavior and needs gave us peace of mind while we were out of town for a week. Cory communicated clearly prior to our time away so we all were on the same page. Timely check-ins and good notes let us know how our furry pal was doing throughout the day. We will be happy to ask Cory for help again the future, and to recommend his services to others.
Emma is the best! There’s honestly only positive things I could say, she is so easy to communicate with and the genuine care for my dog she has is obvious! Ive felt comfortable leaving her in the hands of my dog and home every time she’s come over which in my opinion is the biggest complement! Me and Journey are so glad to have you there when I can’t be, see you soon and thank you always Emma!!
Julia has been helping me transition my new 5 month lab/boxer puppy to his new home with her drop in visits. She’s very eager to help practice basic commands, crate train, and get my pup comfortable walking around his new neighborhood. Julia asks great questions, communicates quickly, is flexible, and made me feel comfortable leaving my pup for the first time!
Julia was great! She accepted a sitting request from us on short notice which was really appreciated. She came over to meet our Toast so she could meet him and we could see them interact. Toast had a great time when they met and I can tell from the pictures she took during the drop-in that Toast had fun! We’re so glad Julia took such great care of our boy in the hour she came to watch him! :)

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 Saint Francis 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!

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 .
