4. Andrew S.
“Andrew is very nice and professional. You can tell he has a love for animals and spending time with them. He'll either take my dog on a short but tiring walk, or he'll take him to the park to run around and play, and everything in between. Highly recommend.”


5. Vicki S.

“Thank you - Vickie was on time and thorough w fo walking - thanks”


6. Ian P.

“Our relationship with Ian continues very well. Due to a knee replacement I am still unable to walk my dog Dachsie. Hiring Ian through Rover was the smartest thing I have done. Happy dog, happy owner, no guilt for Dachsie not getting exercise in this cold weather. Ian and Dachsie don't mind the cold. We are lucky!!”


7. Jeff G.

“Jeff is a very experienced dog walker that does great with my 120 lbs Rottweiler. I would definitely recommend him to anyone especially owners of large breed dogs.”


8. Monsserath C.

“Monsserath does great with my shy and anxious dog. She is very patient and understanding and has so much love to give my pup. She is super reliable and I can tell looks forward to seeing my pup every week! I am so lucky to have connected with her and look forward to working with her again in the future.”




9. Jan H.

“Jan has been great, and Gizmo loves her! She will take him for walks, be sure he goes potty, and play with him in the yard for a bit. Jan is also flexible should a scheduling conflict arise. She truly loves dogs and looks forward to seeing Gizmo a few times a week!”


10. Isabella N.
“We couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter than Bella! She watched our cat, Chai, while we were away, and we felt completely at ease knowing he was in such great hands. Bella was incredibly attentive, keeping us updated daily with pictures and little notes about Chai’s activities, which we loved. Chai is usually pretty shy, but he warmed up to Bella right away. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for cat and a spotless home. We’re so grateful to Bella and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter. Thank you, Bella!”


11. Daniel F.

“My dog gets excited when she hears that her friend Daniel has arrived for their afternoon walk. He seems to enjoy his time with her as well and is very kind and communicative. I've only had positive experiences with Daniel.”


12. Perseus M.

“Let me first start by saying, I work in the pet care industry and don't trust just anyone to watch my dogs. Perseus is always my go-to person when I need a dog and cat sitter. I have one dog that can be very nervous around people and can be a lot sometimes but she loves Perseus and she definitely doesn't love everyone. He is one of the most trustworthy people I know and I 100% know my dogs and home are well taken care of. I also have two cats that live in the home with my 3 dogs and he makes sure everyone gets the love and attention they need while we are gone. He would send me pictures and videos of our pets, which I love to see while traveling. I would recommend him to any and everyone and I always know I can call him if I need help with let outs for my dogs. You won't find a more caring and compassionate person for your pets. He will treat them as if they are his own.”




13. Charlotte M.

“Thanks for taking great care of Louie, Charlotte!”


14. Genesis A.
“Ella es muy buena con cualquier mascota, actualmente tiene 2 conejos hermosos que les gusta la caminata. Está estudiando veterinaria y le va muy bien. En su trabajo ella juega con muchos perritos y hay ocasiones donde juega con gatos también. Es muy limpia, y si es necesario ella te puede brindar servicios extra aparte de los que están aquí. She is very good with any pet, she currently has 2 beautiful rabbits that like to walk. She is studying veterinary medicine and is doing very well. At work she plays with many dogs and there are times when she plays with cats too. She is very clean, and if necessary she can provide you with extra services apart from those that are here.”


15. Alyssa B.
About: I have been passionate about animals, big and small, my entire life! I have volunteered at humane societies, fostered animals in need, cared for the pets of family members and friends, interned at AZA-accredited zoos, and worked at wildlife sanctuaries. Currently I am a full-time licensed wildlife rehabilitator caring for injured and orphaned Wisconsin wildlife with the goal of releasing them back into the wild, but I have previously worked with a variety of domestic animals both in my personal and in my professional life. I am well versed in animal behavior, body language, and positive reinforcement. I promise to treat (and spoil) your pets like they are my own! At the moment I have 3 sweet cats, a high-energy dog, a mischievous chinchilla, and a gentleman of a ball python! Please do not hesitate to reach out and get to know me more! I currently work 4 days of the week at my full time job so I am only available select days. I am eager to spend time with your pets, however, so if my schedule shows I am unavailable, please reach out anyway as I try to be as flexible as possible! It is extremely important to me to use Fear Free tactics when interacting with any animal. Gaining the trust of you and your pet are my top priority!


16. Katie C.
“Katie is super wonderful! She is so kind and caring! I have known Katie for just about 5 years. She has welcomed our dogs into her home several times, and I know she also helps care for other family/friends dogs. As a dog owner, Katie understands that they're part of the family and should be loved as such. Mix that with Katie's responsibility, helpfulness and friendliness, and you could not pick a better dog sitter/walker!”

About: I recently adopted my own dog as a puppy during the pandemic and have been a proud dog mom ever since! Besides my own dog I have experience with walking extended families dogs and caring for my friends dog while they were out of town. I'm looking to use the skills and experience I have gained to care for other pets in my neighborhood! I'm currently a new grad school student at UWM (go panthers) so my schedule has a bit of flexibility to it. I have classes in the evenings at the moment and would prefer to do morning walks during the week or anytime during the weekend! While at a clients home I am very attentive to their pet and its needs and make sure to give it the same love and care as I would my own!


18. Lindsey V.
“We were so grateful to have Lindsey care for our sweet cavapoo while we were welcoming our new baby into the world. We were confident he was getting everything he needed, and so much love! Sparrow will be excited when he gets to go back!”


19. Julia F.
“Your pet is going to enjoy Julia’s company! She took care of our dog Rocky on multiple occasions, and he was always super happy to see her, play and cuddle with her. She is gentle, caring and loving, and also very responsible.”




20. Auria R.
About: I am a dog lover! There has never been a time that I have not had a dog. I would love to take care of your dog. You can enjoy your time away and rest assured that he or she will be in good hands and be cared for and loved while you are gone. He or she will get tons of attention and feel right at home. We will have lots of outdoor playtime in our fenced in yard as well as walks in our beautiful Glendale neighborhood. My dog, Dallas, is very social and loves to have new friends over. Dallas has been neutered and is healthy and current on all of this vaccinations. All dogs that stay with us can be fitted with a Whistle 3 GPS dog tracker and activity monitor which tracks your dogs activity and rest as well as monitors where they are at all times. No chance of your dog escaping and getting lost if they are known runners. I am home most of the time and have plenty of time to spend with your fur baby! Weekends are usually available as well by request. We allow pets everywhere in our home and have a fenced in yard in which to care for your fur baby. If you use a crate for your pet then that is what we will do as well. We try to mimic what is done at home to maintain continuity of care for the animal as much as possible to reduce stress and anxiety.
