About: I have taken care of animals(specifically dogs and cats) for pretty much my whole life! Love animals and being around them! Very excited to have found this app, I’m very patient and have a good understanding of animals needs and emotions. I’m currently unemployed so have plenty of time to play with your pets! Rarely am I unable to go out and do something, but looking to change my employment status! I prefer not to sit at my house as I have a dog who isn’t very social. As long as a pet is in my care they will have my full attention and I will try my hardest to entertain them and meet their every need!
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 have walked dogs for other families previously. I also have 7 animals at home, so I am quite experienced in animal care. I know about both dogs and cats. I currently work full time. I am available during the week after 5pm. I am also available anytime on the weekends. Might have early morning hours during the week as well. I will not be offering services in my home. However, I will make sure all animals are fed, hydrated and properly cared for. My main focus will be walks.
About: I've always been an animal lover! As a kid, my best friends lived on farms where I loved helping out, along with having an 80-lb boxer and several cats of my own. I currently have two cats who I love dearly, but won't tolerate dogs so let me be besties with yours to fill the void! :) I work part time so I'm typically available between 8 am and 4 pm Monday through Friday as well as some weekend availability here and there. I treat every animal with the love and respect I give my own pets and am familiar with anxious animals so you can be confident your animal is in good hands. If we live near each other, I'm also happy to walk your fur babies over to my fenced in back yard for some off leash play time!
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life and learned a lot from my older sister, who worked as a vet tech and groomer. I’m comfortable with all breeds and sizes, from Great Danes to dachshunds, and have completed training courses with my own dogs, so I understand behavior and routines. I’m very caring and detail-oriented, making sure each pet’s needs, schedule, and comfort are always a priority.

Pet care fits easily into my routine because my schedule as a college student is flexible, especially in the summer when I don’t have classes. I’m able to be consistent and reliable with visits and make pets a priority. follow each pet’s routine closely and always prioritize their safety, comfort, and well-being. I listen carefully to owner instructions, ask questions if I need clarification, and make sure I fully understand each pet’s needs. I also provide good communication and updates so owners feel at ease while they’re away. While caring for pets in the home, I focus on keeping their normal routine consistent and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for at all times.

Although I don’t have much experience I ensure they receive daily walks, balanced meals, and lots of affection. I have the flexibility to devote ample time to walks, playtime, and ensuring my dog gets the best care possible. I am currently only doing this as a summer job before I go back to college!

You can trust that I will strictly follow all of your specific instructions regarding locking up your house, leashing, commands, and food allergies to ensure your pet is safe.
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.

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 been petsitting since I was young. I have sat for dogs, cats, and various rodents, but I'm open to watching and learning about any other animals that might come along. I have 3+ years of experience at doggy daycares, and am versed in a number of training techniques. I also have a certificate as a Veterinary Support Assistant, so I know how to help your animal if they become sick or injured during our stay. I am Fear Free certified, and will use my skills to make sure your pet has the most comfortable stay possible. I have experience bathing dogs and cutting their nails. I would love to meet great pets and their people. I strive to care for them and teach them skills so they can have a better life! I will make a positive impact on your and your dog's life if you choose me to be your professional sitter. While pet care is a focus of mine, I have a varied schedule at both my jobs. I currently work nights Wednesday through Sunday, but I am always happy to discuss specific rates for various times and duration requirements. I use Fear Free techniques to ensure that the animals are having the best time possible during my stay. I make sure to give them plenty of exercise and attention and treat them as if they were my own pet.

About: I’ve always loved being around dogs and have hands-on experience caring for pets for family and friends. I’ve taken my brother’s dog on walks and potty breaks numerous times and understand the importance of exercise, routine, and giving dogs plenty of attention. I’ve also cared for my sister’s dog for several days at a time while she was out of town, managing feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and providing companionship. In addition, I’ve helped friends by stopping by during the day to let their dogs outside and make sure they were comfortable and cared for. I understand that every dog has a unique personality and needs, and I strive to provide patient, reliable, and loving care so both pets and owners feel at ease. Whether your dog needs a quick potty break, a fun walk, or some extra attention while you’re away, I’m committed to treating them like they’re my own. I'm currently in between jobs, so I am free any day of the week. I usually spend my mornings on my job hunt and then go for a walk or run and exercise. I'm very physically active and enjoy being outside, so I'm very open and flexible! I have a private dog park at my apartment building that is great! I am also open to whatever my clients' needs and wants are. If they need me to stay at their place for a little to help their pet feel comfortable, I can accommodate. As mentioned before, I love being outside for walks, or if you have a sporty dog that enjoys runs, I can help out as well! I have a great track record for trust worthiness and dependability. I'm very communicative and will always be available to send pictures or talk through any questions you may have.

About: Hi! My name is Larissa! I’m 28 and I moved to Milwaukee a little over a year ago from Eau Claire, WI. I’ve been on the pet sitting site WAG before making this transfer to Rover. I adore all animals! I grew up with 2 Yorkshire Terriers, but I love big dogs too! My senior year of high school I got a job at a local animal shelter where I learned in-depth ways to care for cats and dogs including feeding, walking, medications, senior care, bathing, etc. I’ve cared for various animals over the last 12 years, and I have great references to provide. I’m responsible, reliable, warm, caring, and work-hard with integrity. I understand that animals truly are a part of the family :) I work 2 part-time jobs Tuesday- Friday, but I’m flexible on weekends and willing to pet sit on weeknights as well. My roommate has a cat, so unfortunately I cannot provide boarding services. Please reach out with questions. I’m excited to hear from you and build a connection! I work 2 part-time jobs but I am flexible on weekends and on weeknights as well. Most weeknights I’m available after 5:30pm I make sure to clearly communicate with regular updates and pictures, especially if requested. I’m honest and follow through with expectations. I want to build a caring relationship with you and your fur baby. I deeply understand the trust that goes into allowing someone else into your home and caring for your fur baby. I treat every single animal as if they were my own.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Shorewood
Jenna was fantastic!! She was so enthusiastic during our meet and greet, and she sent a bunch of photos with our little guy that made us feel connected while being away. He seemed happy and healthy on our return, and Jenna went above and beyond with communication!

Very kind and willing to accept this service so last minute. Our cat Ozzy warmed up to her so quickly. The photo updates really showed how much Ozzy enjoyed the company and seemed more than happy and healthy when we returned. We will defiantly plan to book again since she’s in such close proximity!

Spencer was amazing - asked questions, showed up exactly on time even during a busy holiday weekend, provided lots of pictures and updates, managed to win over my feistiest most diva cat (as much as you can win with her anyway lol), and demonstrated the kindness, integrity, and respect I would love to see with every pet sitter. I was able to travel for the weekend knowing that my cats were in good hands - I definitely will be booking again for my next trip!

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!

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Shorewood is $21 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $33 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

As of November 2026, there are 306 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Shorewood. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
