“Hanna did a wonderful job taking care of my two cats while I was away on vacation! She was prompt, communicated very well, and sent lots of photos. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”
About: I was a kennel worker for three years through high school and college, taking care of dogs of all shapes and sizes. I have experience with anxious, aggressive and hyperactive dogs. I’ve been taking care of family and neighbors dogs since I was little. In fact, my first job was walking the neighbor’s dog for 5 dollars a week! I’m also a cat dad to two lovely cats, with experience cat sitting for family and friends as well. I’m a part time employee so I’m free to walk or dog/cat sit during the day on weekdays. I have some availability on weekends, but coach baseball so it depends on that schedule. I have experience working with anxious and nervous pets and will create a calm and safe environment when I come to your home. I have no problem crating dogs or administering medication to pets even if anxious/aggressive.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 10. Your dogs are my upmost priority. I have had much practice with walking, feeding, and bathing dogs. It is important for while you are away to have a carefree time. When you book with me, you will get those services! In my line of work, I have pretty flexible hours. The times that best fit your doggie needs, usually can work for me! Booking with me you are able to get the smoothest experience possible. I take this job very seriously. I will be a diligent pet sitter, and ensure the best experience possible. I will like to have a meeting prior to my services. In this meeting I will ask about your dog, their needs, their daily routine and anything that I should be aware of.
“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.”
“These reviews are tough to give because I’m not actually home to evaluate the individual watching my cute pupper. However, positive things I really enjoyed about Elizabeth is that she stayed in touch throughout the day, sent pictures, and arrived at the times we discussed ?. My pup when I got home seemed happy and safe ?. Would use her again for sure!”
About: Hi I’m Kayla! I first started dog sitting while babysitting for families who also had pets. Over time, I realized how much I genuinely enjoyed caring for dogs, just as much as I love caring for children! That inspired me to expand my experience and combine two things I truly love. 🐶❤️ I currently work in ABA therapy, which has helped me develop patience, compassion, and a strong understanding of individual needs. I’m excited to offer loving, reliable pet care while earning extra income doing something I genuinely enjoy. Whether your pup needs walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply some extra company, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. And I have to admit, I’m a sucker for puppy kisses! 🥹💕 If your dog isn’t a fan of kisses or has any boundaries I should know about, please let me know! I want to respect their comfort and make sure every interaction is positive and on their terms. I’d love the opportunity to meet your furry family member and give them all the love and cuddles they deserve! 🐾❤️ Pet care fits into my schedule really well! 🐾 I work Monday–Friday from 8:30 AM–4:30 PM, but I have a flexible schedule depending on my workday. I’m also less than 10 minutes from my job, so if your pet is staying at my home, I can use my 30-minute break to stop by, let them out, take them for a quick walk, or give them some playtime and attention. My job also occasionally offers flexible start times or early releases when our schedule allows, which gives me additional opportunities to provide care throughout the day. Outside of work, I’m very much a homebody and enjoy spending my evenings at home. I love the idea of having a furry companion around, so pet sitting feels like a wonderful way to spend my free time while giving your pet love and attention. ❤️ I’m generally available on weekends, too! I do attend church on Sundays from 11 AM–1 PM, but I’m happy to plan around that and make sure your pet still receives the care they need. 🐶🐱💕 I have a cozy, pet-friendly apartment where your furry friend can feel comfortable and at home! Whether your pet stays with me or I care for them in your home, I’ll treat them with the same love, patience, and respect I would want for my own. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet and your home, which is why I prioritize safety, cleanliness, and following your pet’s routine and boundaries. I’ll also treat your home with the same respect and care I show my own. I’m also very open to communication and want you to feel comfortable while your pet is in my care. Whether you prefer photos, regular updates, or even a FaceTime call, I’m happy to keep you informed and give you peace of mind. My goal is to create a safe, loving environment where your pet feels comfortable and well cared for while you’re away! 🐾💕

I’m used to all kinds of personalities, from super playful to more shy or independent. I also grew up with Maltese dogs, so I have experience walking and caring for dogs too. I’ll make sure your pet is fed, comfortable, and cared for, whether that means playtime, attention, or just giving them space. I’ll treat your home with respect and care for your pets like they’re my own. I work full time currently but i am off on the weekends to care for your pets while your away on a weekend getaway. I am available the whole day unless i have something scheduled but ill work with you if thats the case. ill care for your pets as if they were my own and care for your place, ill keep it clean and maintain the litter and cats happy during my time with them.
About: I am a animal lover and previous pet owner. I have experience caring for cats, dogs, birds, fish, rodents, you name it!. I have worked with many animals and am comfortable grooming, walking, feeding, playing with and caring for your pets. I have been a volunteer and youth leader with Safe Humane Chicago and have participated in many of their programs. I think every pet I’ve met has shown me how to be more patient and kind.I have seen how owners truly care about their pets and his or her safety and that shows me just how much they love them as an important part of their family. If you are interested I would love to hear from you and am available via text or phone call Thanks, -Hannah
“Ana was an incredible sitter, very thorough! She helped us out during a very stressful time and even came back to help to make sure that things were in order. I would fully trust Ana watching any of my pets again, and we can't wait to use her in the future. Thank you Ana for being so flexible, understanding, and amazing sitter for our dear cat Spoke!”
About: I grew up spending hours reading bedtime stories to the chicks, hens, cats, horses, dogs (and sometimes a spare turtle or rabbit) on my family’s farm. I’ve been lucky enough to gain experience house-sitting pets in rural areas and the city, all around the world as well as volunteering in shelters and fostering! There’s no pet I’m not excited to hang out with!! As a full timer worker, I’m available for dog walking, house visits or house sitting on available weekends and occasional weeknights depending on my schedule and your needs! I’m experienced with dog training, and very patient and calm to letting animals warm up to me. I’m experienced with walking highly reactive dogs and navigating other pet’s body language.
“Jessica was able to come on short notice and even cleaned up my puppies potty accidents on the carpet while helping to potty train. Thanks for watching my still in training puppy and also for taking the time to correct him and clean up after him. I will defiantly be hiring again!”
About: I have been the primary walker/caretaker for my childhood dog’s entire 12-year life. Her name is Stella and she is a sassy rat terrier, so I have plenty of experience with energetic breeds. I have also occasionally cared for the pets of neighbors and family, including my uncle’s 4 Tibetan mastiffs. I have a very flexible schedule as I am currently studying from home for the Bar. I am a recent college grad with a wide open schedule. I plan on moving to Milwaukee in June, so until then I am seeking gig work while I live with my parents in Lake county I will cherish your pets and shower them with affection when they are under my care. Unfortunately, I cannot host pets in my home as I live with my parents.
About: To be completely honest, I was afraid of dogs when I was a child. But since my family got our puppy in 2015, my love of dogs has skyrocketed. Now when I see a dog, I have this intuition to pet them, with permission of course. So with my care, there will always be love in the air! A little fun fact about me is that I love to go for walks. So watch out furry friends, the feeling of being worn out is coming your way! I am a full-time student, however, I do have time during the day on Monday, Wednesday, and Fridays to hang around with your furry friends! My time range is from 11-3:30. Or perhaps you’re stuck at work late in the night, and your dog or cat has been crossing their legs to use the bathroom, and I am more than welcome to stop by and take them outside any night of the week (after 6 pm)! Just like people, your animal should have food, water, and exercise. I will take your dogs and/or cats on walks and make sure their dishes are filled with water. And give them lots of pets as well, because what animal doesn’t like a little love?
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.
“Emily was quick and responsive to a last minute drop in request. She provided a thorough note after her visit letting me know how they spent their time and my pup’s behavior and mood. I appreciate her being so responsive and thorough!”
About: Hi, I'm Marissa! I am an experienced dog owner, as I've had my own pup for near 6 years now. I have a strong background caring for dogs of all ages and energy levels. I grew up helping my grandma, who was a Samoyed breeder, so I've been around dogs my entire life and learned early on how to properly care for them. I've had my Aussie since he was 8 weeks, which has made me very comfortable with high-energy breeds and understand how important exercise, attention, and mental stimulation are. Whether your dog needs a quick drop-in, a walk, or just some extra attention during the day, I'll make sure they're not just checked on, but truly cared for and engaged with. I know how hard it can be to leave your pet, even for a short time. I focus on making sure your dog feels safe & comfortable. I am currently offering evening availability on the weekdays starting at 6:30pm Thursday/Friday, and flexible scheduling on Saturday's/Sunday's for drop-ins & walks. I treat every dog like my own and can't wait to meet you and your pup! I am currently working a full-time job, 8am-5pm. I know this creates limited availability, but I am willing to fit in drop-ins and walks after 6:30pm during the weekdays, and will have flexible availability on the weekend. I take my dog on two 30 minutes walks everyday, on top of playing fetch often, & providing training on basics daily. I practice off-leash in areas where it is allowed. I feed morning and evening for my dog, provide lots of cuddles and affection, and make sure play time is priority. That can be through basic training, scent games, DIY puzzles, and running in the park! As for crate training, I did it for a year but have no moved to allowing my dog to snooze next to my bed every night. This set him up for success and created trust between him and I. I focus on trust with my dog 100% of the time, and understand his needs and wants daily. The bond between your pet is so important so I want to make sure I bring that same energy to your pet!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Shorewood
Ana gave excellent care to our dog while we were away! She was timely and sent detailed reports and pictures each time she dropped in to take care of our dog. She also gave our dog lots of attention and snuggles! I would highly recommend her for any of her services!
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.
Linda was able to come visit my puppy very last minute and I appreciate her availability. She answered promptly to my questions and kept me updated during the visit. I was nervous as this was my first time using Rover, but she was very kind and understanding.
Angela took wonderful care of Elliott during her twice-daily visits. She showed tremendous patience with him and let him warm up to her at his own pace. By her final visit, he allowed her to pet him and take him into the yard—a big accomplishment! She also thoughtfully handled a few extra details around the house. I truly appreciated her reliable and compassionate care. I highly recommend.
Lisa is the best, my dog is a little quirky and does not warm up to new people easily and he let her clean and wrap a wound he got on his leg and let her hand feed him! She went above and beyond in every possible way and I could not have asked for a kinder and more competent sitter for Arrow! Highly recommend!! ❤️
We had a great experience with Travis, and will absolutely book with him again. He was responsive, easy to communicate with, and kept us updated while we were away. Our dogs were happy, healthy, and well cared for when we returned, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.
Jessica was great with my German shepherd, my dog has been going through some health issues and when I went out of town for 4 days I needed someone to come take care of her 3 times a day and mix up her special food, take her for walks and monitor her potty breaks. Jessica was also super flexible with the timing of her visits and made this potentially stressful time super easy for me and my dog. 5 stars. Would reccomend her to anyone.

If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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.

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 .
