“Ilene took such good care of my cats while I was out of town. She sent me so many pictures and it was so nice and reassuring to see how much fun my girls were having while I was away. I will definitely be booking her again in the future.”

“Kim was absolutely amazing with my dog. I needed a few drop in visits while I was out of town. She took the time to ensure he had everything he needed & was comfortable while I was away. She's great at communication and I didn't have to worry about a thing.”

“Jessica was a great find for our drop in visit needs for our two cats. She was punctual, caring, and provided great care as well as updates and tons of pictures. We recommend her to other families in need of drop-in care.”

About: Hi my name is Lucy and I am 26 years old. I have been doing freelance pet care for almost 10 years and have experience with all sorts of animals. I was active with a dog rescue for many years and through that have interacted with dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, breeds, temperaments, and medical conditions. I was also a foster and adopted out a handful of animals. I have experience walking dogs, administering medications, and dealing with all types of quirks and personalities. Animals are a passion of mine and I always strive to take care of your pet as if they were my own. I spend a lot of time with my two cats and taking care of them ever day. I also try to find time to interact with as many dogs as possible. When I am in an animals environment, I always make sure to respect their space and give them time to warm up to me being in their space. I will also always respect the clients home and do what I can for them and their pet. I will make sure to follow the instructions that I am given by the pet parent to a tee.

“Cathy was reliable and communicative - just like last time! She remembered our cats and their personalities. We appreciated the pics and reports and will definitely request her again in the future.”

About: I have had experience caring for many different kinds of animals throughout my life, such as dogs, horses, guinea pigs, and fish. I am comfortable and confident with walking, feeding, bathing, etc. I am a full-time grad student, and I also work a part-time job. My schedule is a little different each weekday, sometimes with breaks in the middle of the day. I am available all day on the weekends. I do not currently care for any pets in my home. I am not currently accepting jobs that require a pet to stay in my 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: 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 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: Hi! I'm excited to have the chance to meet your pup(s)! I have personal and professional petcare experience. I have been lucky enough to have had dogs my whole life. I also recently spent 2 years as a professional dogwalker with Wag. I've cared and walked dogs of all kinds, older, younger, pullers, take-their-timers, and can't wait until someone wants me to take their dog for a run! :) I love puppies and helping to train, youtube certified. I have also volunteered at the Humane Society walking dogs there! For boarding, I do have a cat, but can easily separate the areas in my apartment to accommodate. I work full-time 830-5. I have a camera in my place in case of an emergency and work close enough and have amazing flexibility to make adjustments to my schedule. Safety is always the priority. Harness is preferred, but a secure collar/leash is a must. I also tend to avoid other dogs/people at all times to ensure a calm and easygoing visit. I'm very accessible by phone and follow instructions to the dot. I live steps away from the Oak Leaf Trail, so expect lovely and peaceful walks if boarding.

About: I have had pets all of my life, dogs when I was younger and until I moved up to Milwaukee, and I've had a cat for the last 3 years. I do my best to make sure pets feel cared for and loved. I have spent a lot of time getting my cat Sybil to "sit", "stand up", and "lay down". So I at the very least I have a lot of patience I currently work 9-5 but I work from home on Thursday and Fridays! So I have a pretty flexible schedule to take care of your pets. I make sure to follow your instructions to a T. I will likely not let them out of my sight for the duration of my stay with your pet.
About: I’ve been a dog lover my whole life 🐶🤍 I grew up with both a Golden Retriever and a Yorkie, so I’ve had experience with very different personalities, sizes, and energy levels! I’ve cared for an older dog who needed a little extra patience and gentleness, as well as a younger, energetic pup who was always ready to play. I’ve also fostered dogs through a local humane society, which has given me even more experience getting to know new dogs, helping them feel comfortable, and giving them lots of love and attention while they’re in my care. 🐾 I know how much pets mean to their people, so I’ll always treat your pup like they’re part of the family — whether we’re going for a walk, taking a potty break, playing for a bit, or just getting some extra love while you’re away! 💕 As a teacher, I have a pretty consistent schedule, which makes it easy for me to plan pet care into my routine! 🍎🐾 I’m available after 4:00 PM on weekdays for walks and drop-in visits, and I have much more flexibility on weekends. I love having something active and fun to look forward to after the school day, and spending time with dogs is the perfect way to unwind. Whether your pup needs an evening walk, a potty break, some playtime, or a little extra attention, I’d be happy to help! 💕 I’ll always care for your pet in a way that follows their normal routine and your specific instructions! 🐾 During drop-ins, I can take them outside for potty breaks, refresh their water, play with them, give treats or meals if needed, and make sure they get plenty of love and attention. I’m also happy to crate your pup after a visit if that’s part of their usual routine. For walks, I’ll make sure your dog is securely leashed and keep a close eye on their surroundings so they stay safe and comfortable. I know every pet is different, so I’m happy to adjust to whatever makes your pup feel happiest and most at ease! 💕
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: We love animals but aren’t in a place in our lives to have our own. We’d love to be able to get some pet love while still being able to keep our flexible lifestyle. We thought pet sitting would be the best way to do so! We genuinely love pet sitting/housesitting since we just love doing new things together. We are very responsible and are almost always reachable by text. We have a car and are willing to travel to you. We are excited to hear from you soon :) I only work in office Tuesday through Thursday from 9-5, other than that I am usually home. On those days I can feed them before and after work. Ethan (my boyfriend) also works fully remote so he’ll be around to take care of the pets on the days I’m in office. A midday walk is a great way to get him out of the house We have the top level of a duplex. It’s a pretty open space. We love to go on walks and spend time with furry friends. We’re really good about sending photo updates and checking in with the owners throughout the day.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Shorewood
This was our first time using Rover for our 2 frenchies and Melanie was so awesome!! She asked clarifying questions when she wasn’t sure about something, sent the cutest pictures and provided detailed updates after every visit. Normally I feel guilty leaving the dogs home when we travel but they looked very happy and with her updates I knew they were being well taken care of. We will definitely be using rover and Melanie’s help again in the future!❤️

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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Shorewood is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $32 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 long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 2,155 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Shorewood. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. 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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
