About: Longtime pet owner and animal lover here! Nice to meet you :) From one pet owner to another, I know the anxiety that comes with leaving your pet while you are on a trip. That is why I feel so passionate about easing those worries and taking the best care of others pets for them. It is so special to be able to spend time with your fur babies, and to assure you that they will be taken care of so you don’t have any worries! It is my mission to take care of your pets as if they are my own. I always make sure to include lots of play and cuddle time. I include daily walks as well. I especially love to play games with them to tire out those active brains and make things more fun! Hide the treat is a favorite. I am currently in school part time. 3 days out of the week I am gone for about 5 hours. Every other day I would be there most of the day, and never gone for more than a couple hours. During drop in visits I always make sure to spend a few hours with the animals. Playing with them, taking them for walks, and of course giving them all the pets and loving. I know how hard it must be to be away from their family so I make sure that they have the best time while you are away and do not spend too much time alone. Whatever safety measures you require in your home I can make sure to accommodate! I can crate your dog if needed. And I always make sure walks are safe.
“Aritza did an excellent job with my dog. My dog is very high energy and Aretha did well doing exactly what I wanted. She got lots of energy expanded and came back spit. Thank you Aretha for doing a good job!!!!”
“Ashely came by to do a meet and greet a few days before taking care of Kali which was so helpful for me to show her around the house. She followed all of my instructions and Kali was very happy with her! Will definitely be going back to her as needed☺️🥰”
“Our puppy loves Isabella! She goes above and beyond when visiting Rocky, playing with him, and taking him for a walk. We definitely recommend Isabella and will continue to use her service in the future.”
“Sarah did a great job with our two cats - Bonnie & Clyde while we were away on vacation. We received daily updates from her about our babies and her communication with me while we were gone was excellent!! We will definitely be using Sarah again in the future. Thank you 😊”
“Sylvie was incredible from start to finish. She went above and beyond to make things easy and seamless for us, and our pets absolutely loved her!! We needed an at home visit and she was able to accommodate our schedule and extensive needs for 2 dogs and a cat. I would recommend Sylvie to anyone!! She's the best out there.”
“From the first time we met Clarissa we could tell she would be a good match for our cat Lacy. Lacy is shy and comes from a rough background. Clarissa communicated every day (twice) and sent photos showing the progress she was making with Lacy. We will recommend her to our friends and look forward to requesting her again in the future. She our trip worry free!”
About: I've been dog sitting for about 3 years and currently work at Camp Bow Wow, where I care for dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities. My job includes monitoring dog behavior, feeding, cleaning, and making sure every dog is safe, comfortable, and happy. I'm patient, dependable, and experienced with energetic puppies and senior dogs. I treat every pet like they're my own and always provide loving care. I currently work part-time, but I make pet care a priority. On the days I'm working, I'll be there before and after my shift to make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, potty breaks, and love.

My goal is to provide a safe, clean, loving, and stress-free environment while keeping owners updated with messages and photos so they can feel confident their pet is in good hands.
About: I have experience with all different dog breeds and sizes. I know great helpful training techniques. Also, I grew up living with dogs up until now. I have a full time Hybrid job. I work from home 3 days a week and the workload has been fairly light. I currently live with no furry friends and am missing the connection with them. I want to hold off on adopting right now so I thought the best way to fulfill my wants of having a dog will be through this app. I have no fenced in yard or much of a yard at all. My home is spacious though, so there is enough room for your pet to be comfortable and play indoors. I have 3 reptiles that will stay in their tanks and do not cause disruptions. They also love watching other animals from afar.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Shorewood
Kaylyn took wonderful care of our two Yorkies, Sasha and Malia, while we were away on a short vacation. She was professional, punctual, and very easy to work with. The girls absolutely loved her, and we had complete peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. We will definitely be booking Kaylyn again!
Andie!! Is the sweetest, most loving pet sitter we can ever ask for! She always goes above and beyond to make sure our furr babies feel taken care of! My pup loves her comforting presence and affection! Andie also responds promptly and is awesome about sending us cute photos of our pup & cat!
Johanna was excellent in providing care for our dog over the weekend. She made all appointments on time, followed all instructions and gave us appropriate updates throughout our time away. I would recommend her services to anyone looking for proper pet care.
Lexi did a great job checking on my dog. She was prompt to both the meet and greet and the doggy check-in. She was very friendly, and I could tell she loved animals. The “Rover Card” was a nice perk. It was great seeing my dog having fun and also receiving a summary of the visit. Lexi was great, and I would definitely book her again.
Jordan was wonderful! I felt very comfortable leaving our pup Leia in her care. She was very flexible and easy going, even working with me when we had to delay our trip by a day. We received regular updates and pictures while away and we came home to Leia very content. Thank you Jordan!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Shorewood stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
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 Shorewood 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. 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.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 Shorewood 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.
