“Madison was amazing! Our dogs immediately fell In love with her at the meet and greet and she was great with them. Awesome communication with us and I felt confident our pups were safe and sound and well taken care of the whole time. Would absolutely book with her again!”

“Carrianne did a wonderful job caring for my dog when I went out of town for a weekend. Penny takes some time to warm up to people and Carrianne was very patient and understanding throughout that process. She followed the care instructions I left and sent daily updates with important information (e.g., walks, eating habits, general behavior) with photos. She also stayed overnight in my apartment and left everything really tidy. I couldn't be happier with the care Penny received and will definitely rebook for future travel plans!”


“Carole did a great job caring for our pets while we were out of town for the weekend! She sent us lots of pictures of Moose and Kitty while we were away. And we came home to a clean house and she even washed the bedding and remade the bed! We hate having to leave our pets to go out of town, but Carole kept us updated on how they were doing and that brought peace of mind so that we could enjoy our trip! Would definitely recommend and book again!”

“Catherine did a great job. She took great care of our dog and two cats. She asked a lot of great questions that I wouldn’t have even thought about. Very thoughtful and thorough. We will definitely be asking her to petsit again.”

“Elizabeth did the most fantastic job with our dog Annie. She was always fast to respond and sent multiple updates with pictures! Annie can be reactive and has grudges against many of our neighbors dogs so leaving her with someone new for neighborhood walks can be daunting. I felt completely confident in Elizabeth after one walk with her and Annie. We will absolutely be reaching back out to Elizabeth the next time we are looking for a rover! Thank you so much for the best first rover experience.”

“Maiah did a terrific job taking care of my dog. She gave us daily updates and photos, left the house clean and even stayed with my dog so she didn’t get lonely! Amazing!”

“Our family had recently experienced a loss of our other pet. It was a tough time for travel but Jessica supported our other pet while we were away. She kept us informed and made the world of difference being away during such a difficult time.”

About: I have worked at my local animal shelter back home for the past 2 years, where I care for dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. I handle feeding, cleaning, enrichment, health checks, behavioral observations, and safe handling daily. I have also grown up with pets all my life, and have cared for them since a very young age. I also regularly take care of my uncle’s cat while he is away on work trips. I currently work part-time while attending college, so my schedule can be a little busy at times. I really appreciate advance notice for bookings so I can make sure I give your pets the time and care they deserve! I’m usually more available on Fridays and weekends, but my work hours can vary, so feel free to reach out ahead of time to check my availability! Ensuring a pet’s comfort and safety are always my top priorities when they are left in my care. Whether it is my home or the client’s, I make sure the pet is in a calm, clean, and secure environment. I follow all instructions left to me to a tee, keep a close eye on any behavioral or health changes, and use safe handling practices I’ve learned from working at an animal shelter. I respect each pet’s own boundaries, maintain their routines, and provide all the love, enrichment, and attention they deserve.
“Lauren did a great job taking care of the boys while we were away. She gave them plenty of exercise and engagement as well as keeping them on their regular schedule. Very much appreciated and we hope to book again.”

“Jessica was an incredible dog sitter! She is an excellent communicator, gave us great pics and updates, and overall went above and beyond. It was so nice to be away and know our dog was in such amazing care. We’d highly recommend using Jessica!”

“Charley was amazing with our pup Maisy! She was calm and happy when we got home from an 8 day trip. PLUS - our house was spotless! Fantastic job, we will use him 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.
“Carly was so great to work with! She was prompt to respond and set up a meet and greet! She was able to work with our schedule and took great care of our pets. I got daily updates with some great pictures of Melody and Theo! Would definitely like to work with her again!”

“Keisha was amazing!! She sent lots of updates on our dog and spent really good time with her the whole 5 day trip. She was in such good hands and we would DEFINITELY use her again! Thank you!!”


“Kelly and Hutch became the best of buddies! She did everything I asked and then some. Great communication - sent photos and video. Hutch was calm and happy when we returned and his coat was fabulous after all the brushing. He’s looking forward to the next visit.”

Shorewood pet parents share their Rover experiences
Hi Michelle, Thank you for taking such great care of Una (dog) and Larry (cat) this weekend. Larry usually hides from strangers, so the fact that she sat out with you shows how comfortable they both were in your company. We appreciated the consistent updates and photos, as well as you taking Una for a walk. Thank you also for cleaning Larry's box. The house looks wonderful, and both pets seem very relaxed. You are a pleasure to work with, and I would highly recommend your services to anyone. We look forward to booking you again in the future.

5 stars! This was our first time using Rover and I was so incredibly nervous about it since my dogs are my babies. Carole was so amazing with them, keeping them in their routine, loving on them, and sending updates throughout the long weekend. I was so appreciative that she spent so much time with them and our house was immaculate when we returned home. I'm so grateful to have found someone who will take the best care of my babies and will absolutely be rebooking Carole in the future.

Jessica did an excellent job woth my puppy Bailey. They were best buddies within days. She communicated with and sent me pictures of Bailey when I was on vacation. She followed all my directions and they did great. Jessica went out of her way to make the house nice for my return. She is coming back in February.

Jessica stayed at our home for the week and took the best care of Pickles and Brownie and allowed us to enjoy vacation to the fullest! She checked in throughout the day and sent lots of pictures. We never worried about the boys knowing they were being taken care of and given love while we were away. Definitely recommend Jessica for any walks or extended stays needed to care for your fur babies! So thankful!

Marilia communicated often sending updates and pictures, and was very open to our instructions and the pets’ daily routines. We felt good that Marilia would care for them well while we were able to focus on our flight process without having to worry if the pets were eating and going potty when they needed to. Thank you so much for looking after them!

Sarah did an excellent job. Cooper seemed to really take to her and seemed so happy in all of the pictures and videos she sent us. We have never really left him with anyone in the past and we were so relieved that she was so wonderful with him. She left our house in perfect shape and we really appreciated that. I would recommend Sarah to anyone in need of a sitter for their dog. Phil and Arlene Wesson
Lindsay was amazing with my puppy, Gennie. She was very flexible, punctual, and easy to communicate with throughout the day. Gennie was in a great mood when I got home and slept soundly afterward with no fuss at all—which tells me she had a wonderful, well-cared-for day. I’d absolutely trust Lindsay with her again.

Melissa is, simply put, AMAZING!!!! She took incredible care of our nearly 15 year old dog who is very sweet, but requires quite a bit of assistance. We came home to a clean house and a very happy hound! Best of all, we were able to truly relax on our vacation, knowing that everything was taken care of in our absence. 100/10! 😊
