About: I've loved caring for pets my entire life! My mother was a vet tech who taught me everything I needed to know about caring for animals. I have two senior dachshunds adopted from rescues and have rehabilitated them to be sweet socialized canine citizens. I love dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes. I work a hybrid office job which gives me some flexibility for assisting with your pets! I can walk or visit with your pets in the evenings on weekdays, or anytime on weekends. Your pet will receive care according to their unique needs while I'm visiting with them. Play, feeding, affection, or exercise defined by what you would want to be doing for them yourself.

“Kailey was a pleasure to work with start to finish. She listens well and you can tell that she really loves to take care of pets. This gave us assurance that while we were overseas on vacation, we knew that our beloved pet would be taken care of with love and compassion and according to our instructions/requests. She went out of her way to take care of other things outside of norm of pet sitting regarding our house, including bringing in the mail, taking care of our trash pickup, watering our plants, and picked up our flag that fell off of the post and put it in our garage for us, etc....Kailey took the time to send updates and pictures of our pet after the pet visits, which helped assure us of his current condition. I highly recommend her for your pet/house sitting needs!”

“Thank you Shawn! You were easy to work with and I felt Sonny would be very well cared for, I was very happy to find someone close by who was good with large dogs. I would definitely book with Shawn again :)”

“We were so happy with our experience with Teri. She is a great and prompt communicator. We felt so comfortable and at ease while out of town. We will definitely be booking Teri again in the future.”
About: Hi, I’m Brittany! I’m a lifelong animal lover, foster volunteer, and proud dog mom who understands how important it is to find someone you trust with your pet. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities, including: • Reactive and fearful dogs • Senior dogs • Dogs with medical needs • Multi-dog households • Newly adopted and foster dogs One of my own dogs is reactive and fear-based, so I understand that every dog is different. Some pups are ready to make a new friend immediately, while others need patience, consistency, and space to feel comfortable. I’m happy to meet your dog where they are. Whether I’m stopping by for a drop-in visit or taking your dog for a walk, my goal is to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, potty breaks, playtime, and of course, belly rubs if they’re interested. I’m comfortable administering medications and following detailed care instructions. The little things matter, and I always appreciate learning about your pet’s preferences, routines, quirks, and boundaries before we get started. My schedule is flexible, and I’m generally available for morning, evening, and weekend visits. I’ll always communicate clearly, send updates and photos, and care for your pet as if they were my own. I look forward to meeting you and your pup! My schedule is very flexible, allowing me to accommodate morning, midday, evening, and weekend visits. Whether you need a regular walker, drop-in visits, or occasional help, I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that fits your pet’s needs. I’m committed to caring for your pet in the way that makes them feel most comfortable. I’ve cared for dogs with a wide range of routines, personalities, and needs, and I know how important it is to stick with what works best for them. Every pet is unique, and I always appreciate a heads-up about any quirks, preferences, or boundaries—those little details make all the difference. Routine is especially important when a new person enters a pet’s space, so I do my best to keep things calm, familiar, and stress-free. At home, my dogs are separated during meals and when given chews. I use gates or kennels when needed to provide structure, downtime, or simply give everyone a break. Otherwise, you’ll usually find them snuggled up on the couch or playing together, with plenty of belly rubs, of course.

About: As a teacher, patience, responsibility, and building trust are part of who I am every day. I naturally create calm, positive relationships and understand that every dog, just like every child, has a unique personality and deserves individualized care. Since I'm on summer break, I have a flexible schedule and can give your pet the time and attention they deserve rather than rushing through visits. Whether it's an energetic walk, extra playtime, or simply providing companionship, I strive to make every dog feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I know that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision, and my goal is to give you peace of mind by treating your dog like family. 🐾 As a teacher on summer break, I have a flexible daily and weekly schedule, allowing me to prioritize consistent, reliable pet care, walks, and check-ins throughout the day. I care for pets with patience, attention, and love—ensuring they are safe, comfortable, and happy through reliable walks, playtime, feeding routines, and gentle companionship.

About: I’ve grown up around animals and have experience caring for both cats and dogs. I’ve had two cats in the past and also help dog sit my cousin’s dog from time to time. I’m responsible, patient, and enjoy spending time with pets, whether that’s playing with them, feeding them, or making sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I’m currently in school and work part-time, which gives me flexibility throughout the week for pet care. I’m dependable, communicative, and will make sure your pets are cared for and receive plenty of attention while you’re away. Saturdays I’m available after 12pm. Sundays I’m available after 10am. Weekdays I’m available 7am-11am & 7pm-8:30pm I always try to create a calm and safe environment for pets.

About: I have been taking care of dogs almost my whole life. Whether it was my family dog or checking in on others dogs while their family went on vacation. I do work full time M-F 7:30am till 6pm at night. I am typically free on the weekends outside of schooling which is only a couple hours a day. By caring for pets in my clients home, I first take them outside to do their business right away and stretch their legs. I always make sure there is water in their bowl and food as explained by my client. If taking on walks I try to stay local unless the family has a preferred route the dog likes.
About: I am available all day and night to help with your petcare needs! I would love to play with them and help you out while you're away!

I want your pet's nerves to be calm as I'm sure they'll already be a little stressed with your absence.
About: I’m well known for being THEE animal lover among my family, friends, and co-workers. I currently have a senior cat, CeCe. I lost both of my senior dogs this year, Ami and Austin, which is what brought me to Rover. I miss hanging out with dogs and going for walks, whether I’m taking the dog for a walk or they are taking me 😊 I’ve had many animals throughout my life and have cared for other's dogs, cats, birds, fish and various small animals/reptiles. I would love to give your pet some love and fill my own cup while doing it. I work full-time and have a child, but I would love to drop in on and/or walk your pet in my free time. I am most often free in the evening on weekdays and various times during the weekend. I will make sure your dog always has on their collar and is on leash. I have had runners of my own, so I am extra cautious. I am also tidy and clean, so I will ensure to take care of any messes your pet or I make while caring for them.
About: Welcome! With a passion for animals and years of experience, I have developed a strong connection with pets of all breeds, and the feedback from my clients speaks for itself. I offer affordable pricing without compromising on the quality of care, ensuring that your pet receives the love and attention they deserve. Regarding my availability, I do have a six-year-old son who will be with me occasionally, and prior to booking, it is important to consider accepting him as part of the agreement. This does not affect the quality of care, as I ensure both my son and your pet are happy and safe. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I am always mindful of your pet’s well-being, whether we’re out for a walk or spending time together at home. If we encounter other pets, I’ll ensure that the experience is positive and safe. I also respect the privacy of pet owners and follow all instructions carefully, making sure to create an environment where both pets and owners feel comfortable. Homes with cameras are always welcome, and I take great care in maintaining an open line of communication.

“Mia dropped in to take care of my cats when I was out of town. She did a great job trying to make them feel comfortable and keep up their normal routine. It was also great to know that someone was there to check in with them. She sent check-in pictures of the cats and they even warmed up to her being there. It was wonderful to have Mia take care of the cats.”

“Rachel was absolutely amazing with Nala. From the moment we met her, I could tell she genuinely loves animals and would treat Nala like her own. She kept me updated throughout , which really put my mind at ease. I highly recommend Rachel to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring sitter. She’s a true gem, and we’ll definitely be booking with her again!”

About: My name is Brooke and I work with animals in my current career. I have been house/pet sitting for many years, and grew up watching all of our neighbors pets! I have prior experience with animal training and care in my day to day life. Having grown up with multiple dogs, I quickly became interested in volunteering at my local humane society. I would love to get to know your furry friends! There’s nothing better than seeing happy and healthy pets feel good, whether that be with a great walk, a nice cuddle puddle, or even something as small as checking in and a belly rub. Whatever fits your pet’s personality, I’d be happy to accommodate! :) I work full time, but am often available on weekends, mornings, and after work hours. I am flexible, and open to short term check ins or longer visits. I do not currently have any pets in my home, and am not able to host dogs for the foreseeable future due to housing constraints. I absolutely love and respect the space and comfort levels of all animals, as empathy is a major component of my daily career. I would love to work with animals of all ages, needs, and personalities.

About: I’ve taken care of my dogs my whole life and about 4 years ago I dog sat for other families who trusted me to take care of their pets. I love to go for long walks and hikes and have lots of playtime. I currently have a family who I dogsit for when they are on vacations or away for long hours. I’m currently going to college full time, so I can come throughout the day and I have extra free time to take your dog on long walks In my home, I do not have a fenced yard, so I am used to keeping dogs on leashes and making sure they are safely secured if going outside, if they need leashes.

About: Currently work at a dog daycare and boarding facility. I’ve always taken care of family/ friends dogs, I’m confident in basic commands and walking with a well trained dog!

I always keep my dogs fenced and crated when I can’t have my eyes on the them. Otherwise my cats are free to roam inside!!
South Milwaukee dog parents share their Rover experiences
Julia has been helping me transition my new 5 month lab/boxer puppy to his new home with her drop in visits. She’s very eager to help practice basic commands, crate train, and get my pup comfortable walking around his new neighborhood. Julia asks great questions, communicates quickly, is flexible, and made me feel comfortable leaving my pup for the first time!
