“Abby was very friendly upon our meet and greet and took great care of our kitties while we were away. She sent updated photos of every visit of clean litter boxes and fresh water bowls and food.”
“Carrianne was amazing with my cat! My cat has never come out for any sitter before, but with Carrianne he even allowed some pets! She was punctual, reliable and personable, clearly made my cat feel very comfortable! I will definitely be booking her again for my next trip!”
“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!❤️”
“Cathy is truly amazing! She communicates well and is very reliable. She went above and beyond in caring for my cat Teddy. He definitely didn't make it easy for her, but Cathy is a true professional when it comes to petcare. Hopefully he didn't ruin our chance to have Cathy watch him again in the future!”
“We were visiting from out of town and needed a dog sitter while we were gone for many hours at a wedding. Lenys was so nice. She came by in the morning to meet us and our dog. Then, she came over in the evening to walk him, play with him, and give him food. We especially loved the photos. Thank you, Lenys! We will definitely hire you again when we are back in town.”
“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’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.
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.
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 have had dogs and cats my whole life of all breeds and sizes. I work from home and able to take as many breaks as the animal or I need to get some fresh air! I am very active and live in a great walking neighborhood with access to dog parks! I take walks throughout the day to get a break from work and would love to have a friend to take along with me. Pet safety is very important to me! I always ensure doors are shut and the dog is leashed before we go outside. I also keep distance from other dogs when on walks despite how friendly the dog may be.
About: I’ve had a dog for 20+ years. Would love to walk or hang with your pup in the evenings or on weekends - any size and breed. I’m available for walks of all lengths most evenings an/or weekends. If your pup prefers playtime over walking, I would love to play fetch, go to the dog park, or any other activity that your pup enjoys. I am willing to walk any length that the pup prefers and can accommodate walks of slow or fast cadences. Happy to walk, hang out with, or play with pups of any age or size.
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: 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.

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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Shorewood. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
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.
