“Travis took great care of our cats and our home. He clearly has a way with animals. The pics he sent were always comforting to receive. And he took great care of our cat with recent behavioral problems. Clearly very experienced and reliable. Will def use Travis’s services again.”
“Hanna was such a great drop-in sitter for my cat Glenn. She provided updates and pictures everyday which gave me peace of mind while I was away. I will absolutely use her again 😊.”
“Melissa was a great cat and turtle sitter. She stayed quite a while with them each time, playing with one cat. Our other cat who is skittish did not come out but Melissa made sure she ate and did her business. She was very concerned about that cat. The turtle does need much attention but Melissa was interested in her and made sure she was fine. I highly recommend Melissa and would have her come again.”
“Ilene was fantastic and went above and beyond my expectations which is so greatly appreciated! Ilene’s communication and timeliness is perfect and even provided me with adorable pics & videos of playtime with Rozz which warmed my heart while I was away. Ilene’s love and care for animals is exactly what I was looking for. I highly recommend Ilene for any of your pet care needs!”

“Kim has been the absolute best! She never misses anything, sends us daily updates, pictures and videos, and clearly enjoys what she does. We would hire her over and over again!”
“Angela took great care of Ginger and Tricksey during her daily visits. She followed their routine, kept everything tidy, and made sure they had everything they needed. She also noticed and handled a few thoughtful extras, which I greatly appreciated. I felt confident knowing my cats and home were in such attentive hands.”
“I can’t recommend Lenys enough! She took such great care of my floof while I was away, making sure she was well-fed, comfortable, and had plenty of company. I loved receiving daily updates and adorable photos, which really gave me peace of mind. She even went above and beyond by suggesting and installing a new cat fountain to keep my cat hydrated and happy. On top of that, she made sure any packages delivered during my trip were safely brought in and secured. Truly thoughtful, reliable, and caring, she'll get the job done and more! Definitely booking her again!”
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.
About: I'm a fur-baby "empty nester" who isn't quite ready to bring another cat into our home, but I still have plenty of love to give. Our sweet Oliver passed away in March 2026 at the age of 19. He was the last of our four beloved cats, all of whom lived long, happy lives into their senior years. Between my partner and me, we've loved and cared for four cats from kittenhood through their senior years. I personally adopted two of my cats as kittens from the Wisconsin Humane Society, and together we cared for all four through every stage of life. That experience taught me not only how to care for playful, energetic kittens, but also how to patiently support senior cats who may need a little extra time, gentleness, or help with their daily routines. I believe every cat benefits from mental stimulation and play. Whether it's hide-and-seek, chasing a laser pointer, pouncing on toy mice, or simply spending quiet time together, I'm happy to tailor my visits to your cat's unique personality and needs. I know how much our pets mean to us because mine were truly family. My goal is to make sure your cat feels safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you're away. I have my own photography business, so my schedule is pretty flexible. I typically shoot Tuesdays - Thursdays and do admin work on Mondays and Fridays. We don’t usually shoot on the weekends. We don’t currently have any other pets at our house. However, I would prefer to do drop in cat care at your location as opposed to keeping cats at our home.
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have always loved caring for them. I have experience with dogs of different breeds, sizes, and personalities, and I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, and giving them lots of attention. I’m reliable, patient, and will always treat your pets like they’re my own. I also have pets of my own, so I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for them! I have a pretty flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, playtime, and pet sitting. I’m available on both weekdays and weekends and am happy to work with you to find times that fit your pet’s normal routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my priority. I’ll follow any instructions you provide regarding feeding, walks, medications, routines, or house rules. I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention and care while keeping you updated with pictures and messages so you know they’re safe and happy.
About: I can make sure your dog is staying active and feeling loved while you are away and that your cat is getting enrichment and playtime. I have been watching family and friend's dogs and cats for a couple years and have never had any problems. I will uphold whatever standards you set for your dog if you do not allow it on the bed or furniture, neither will I. I can take care of your pets on weekdays and weekends. Weekdays I’m happy to go for early morning walks prior to work and an evening walk or exercise before or after work as well I will give them lots of love and attention while following the same rules and training techniques that you set for them in your own home.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Shorewood
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!
Bria B was exceptional, flexible and amazingly attentive to our dog, Lenny Bruce, and senior cat, Sam. She stayed extra and checked in multiple times when Lenny Bruce was struggling with a thunderstorm. We are so appreciative for her visits and would definitely rebook her for future visits.
Melissa took excellent care of our cat, Zoe, during her four drop-in visits and went above and beyond expectations in responding to Zoe's needs and in communicating with us with information and any questions that arose. Melissa is clearly a cat lover with lots of experience and excellent skills.
Angela took great care of Ginger and Tricksey during her daily visits. She followed their routine, kept everything tidy, and made sure they had everything they needed. She also noticed and handled a few thoughtful extras, which I greatly appreciated. I felt confident knowing my cats and home were in such attentive hands.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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 .

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 .
