“Angel and Little Man always have a great time. Easy scheduling, great response times, and my pups are exhausted from playing when they get home. Thanks !”
“Yolanda and her family are precious! we received around the clock updates and pictures. My dog was immediately in love with them. They offered lots of play time, treats, and even a new toy. we felt very comfortable and confident in their care, and will def use them again!”
“Sherry made a nice impression on Buck at our meet-n-greet, so he was very happy to see her for his stay. Buck settled right in and looked quite at home. We really appreciated all the pictures and would be happy to have Sherry take care of Buck anytime.”
“Angela and her family watched our dog for a week while we were on vacation. Angela was very courteous and great to work with. She has a big fenced in yard and two friendly dogs. She sent lots of pictures with daily updates. Our dog seemed very happy with her family and we wouldn't hesitate to book with her again. Thanks Angela!”
“First time using Monique's boarding service and it was great! We had two dogs stay with her and they were well cared for. Especially appreciated the updates and her flexibility!”
“Would definitely recommend Amanda as a sitter! Easy communication, easy to book, I appreciated the couple check ins during my dog’s stay! My dog came back looking well taken care of, happy, and tired from her exercise! Will definitely be using Amanda again!”
“This was the first time booking with Doreen. I assisted my elderly mom with the booking for her dog since my mom is unfamiliar with using apps on her phone. Doreen was extremely accommodating, communicative and flexible. Flossie is not often away from my mom, and I felt comfortable that Doreen was the right choice and that Flossie would be in kind and attentive care. Doreen sent a picture and comment via text each night which made my mom comfortable. Thank you, Doreen for working with us!”
“Maria and Nayibe are exceptional dog sitters! They took care of Onyx with so much attention and love, carefully following all my instructions and asking thoughtful questions when needed. I received regular updates, which gave me complete peace of mind. Their home is spotless, and the fully fenced backyard is a fantastic bonus for safe playtime. Onyx came home happy and relaxed. I’ll definitely be returning, and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, caring pet sitters!”
“Andrew and his family treated my Oscar as part of their family. He was in constant communication with me while I was away in Italy for almost 3 weeks. Andrew is very kind and very easy/flexible. I would recommend him to anyone that needs a trustworthy person to watch their furbabies! Thank you Andrew!”
“Ashley was absolutely amazing with Chase and Coco! She kept me updated the entire time with pictures and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear they were well cared for, happy, and loved while I was away. I had no issues or problems at all. I truly appreciate the excellent care she provided, and I will definitely be booking with her again. Highly recommend!”
“Riley had such a great experience, and I truly can’t say enough good things. Communication was amazing from start to finish, and she was so flexible when our flights changed, which took a huge weight off my shoulders. She even sent pictures without us asking which we absolutely loved and really appreciated. Her kids and mother were incredibly kind and Riley also got along so well with their dog, Annalise. Riley isn’t around other dogs very often, so I was a little nervous, but they did great together and it made me so happy to hear how well she adjusted. Honestly, the whole experience felt so comfortable… like I’ve known them for a long time. That says a lot when you’re trusting someone with your dog. I would absolutely use them again without hesitation. I think Riley may have even found herself a new best friend 🐾”
“Scott was very accommodating and communicative, we got several pictures and even a short video of our dog out playing in the fresh snow. Our dog has a fear of smooth floors and Scott was able to layout enough rugs and beds that Barley was comfortable. Will book again.”
“Cindy was great to work with and very flexible with scheduling. We received text messages with photos and updates while we were away. We will be using her service again!!”
“Julia and Colin were great! They communicated well and even met Toast before boarding! We received a lot of pictures where our dog was smiling and having a good time with them. We will definitely book again!”
“I felt very comfortable dropping off Piper with Perseus. She seemed immediately at ease and loved the backyard. From the pictures and videos I received, she seemed to really enjoy her time, and we were able to enjoy our vacation knowing she was well cared for”
“Kim did a great job with our dog Georgia! Georgia has lots of quirks and Kim managed them well. She was communicative, and sent photos and updates without me having to ask for them. Georgia was safe, happy, and relaxed when we brought her home. Thanks Kim and Tom!!”
“Angela is simply wonderful. She took excellent care of our 13 year old Pit Bull mix while we were on our two week vacation. Our dog wasn’t used to being away from us that long and since he had always received a lot of attention and care, we were worried about finding someone who would take just as good care of him. From the moment we met Angela, we felt completely at ease. Her warm, positive attitude immediately reassured us, and she wasn’t fazed at all by our dog’s hip issues and reduced mobility. Throughout our trip, she kept us updated with regular messages and photos, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. Our dog was extremely well cared for, and we are so grateful to Angela for the love and attention she gave him. We would absolutely choose her again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter.”
“My dogs loved their stay with Madison and Joseph!! I have an anxious pup and they did a wonderful job making her feel comfortable and at ease. I got lots of updates with pictures and videos which I loved. This was my first time using Rover so I was a little nervous but they definitely gave my Cookie and Willow a home away from home, highly recommend!😊”
“Scott & Ashley were amazing with communication & updates putting this worried heart at ease. Fred was very well loved and we would definitely have him stay there again.”
“Ashlee is absolutely amazing! She provided us with adorable pictures and updates during Boscos stay; we will definitely be requesting future sittings and sending friends her way!”

“Jessica was an amazing caretaker for Figgy, everything went perfectly while we were gone and we could tell Fig enjoyed her daily cuddle sessions! We will absolutely use Jessica for our next trip!”
“Shelby is fantastic. She's been there for us in a pinch to take care of our little man when work schedules collided and we can't thank her enough. She's reliable, punctual, and our cat warmed up to her quickly. We will absolutely continue booking her in the future!”
“This was our first time using Rover. We had last minute work done in our house where the cats had to be gone. Aidan and Dani were amazingly patient with our four cats who have quite unique personalities.”
“Miranda was amazing! I felt comfortable leaving my cat thanks to the attentive care, quick responses, and detailed updates. I would definitely like to book again!”
“Maddalena is very reliable and takes exceptional care of our two kitties! We appreciate knowing our cats are well cared for while we are away. Can’t say enough good things about her! Thank you Maddalena!”
“Madeline was an excellent pet sitter! She was kind, caring, and communicative throughout the time she cared for my cat, and she even checked in on my snake to make sure everything was okay. She followed all of my instructions carefully and gave me peace of mind knowing my pets were in great hands. I really appreciated her reliability and the love and attention she gave them. I would gladly have her pet sit for me again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter.”
“Kristina took care of our shy cat for the first time this past weekend. It's not easy to care for an animal that would rather hide from you than interact, and Kristina dealt with her well. She was friendly, came over when promised, and cared for Sophie and our house well.”
About: I have taken care of cats of every age nearly my entire life. I currently have 3 long-haired cats with all very different personalities! I am knowledgeable in cat body language and how to respond to certain cues a cat is showing me. I am a big fan of using Fear Free tactics to gain the trust of any cat I interact with!
“Jessica was so great with our older kitty with diabetes. Brownie really warmed up to her and she was great about letting us know Brownie was doing well! She required two insulin shots daily and it was a great relief to have someone car for her with skills and a tender heart. We definitely will use Jessica again!”
“Jenn was great with my cat Winston! He seemed very happy in her care and I can tell she loves animals. She was very flexible with drop off and pick up times which I appreciated!”
About: Hi! I’m Montse - mom of kitties Chamoy and Luka. I’ve had these cats for five years and was always a dog person until I had my own feline friends. My orange cat is exactly as you’d expect… rambunctious and incredibly cuddly. Luka the black cat however, is very stand-offish and loves her space. All that to say, I know that cats come with different personalities and I’d love to care for yours however is needed!
“Jenni is amazing! She has watched our cat, Khali, twice now and everytime we leave I know she is in safe hands. Jenni is great at communicating and understanding pets needs and making sure that our baby is doing well while we are gone.”
“Rachelle was a very nice, considerate and tidy sitter to have in my home. She let us know all was well and responded quickly to our texts. When we returned home Kikki came downstairs to greet me and went and sat near Rachelle ‘s feet. So she was definitely Kikki approved.”
“Tegra is super sweet and I immediately felt comfortable into our home and trusting her with our little rascal Kitty cat. Assuming she accepts I'll happily use her services again!”
“I was so lucky to come across Perseus. I mainly chose him because Perseus had no other animals in the house so my 18-year-old sweet kitty could have the entire peaceful house to himself. In addition, Perseus’ home has a lot of natural light - a bay window for my kitty to curl up for a cat nap, and a large sliding patio door for my sweet boy to look out and watch all the squirrels and birds (which he loves). While I was on vacation, at least every other day (if not more), Perseus sent me pictures/videos of my cat – lounging comfortably in one of his cat beds, jumping on Perseus’ lap for a chin scratch, an action shot of my kitty playing with a new toy Perseus purchased for him, a picture of my kitty cuddling up on Perseus’ bed at night, or a video of Perseus singing my kitty a lullaby. It gave me so much comfort to know my sweet, old man was at ease. I’ve never felt more comfortable leaving my beloved cat to someone I didn’t really know (Perseus and I did do a “house visit” before I went on vacation). I honestly believe Perseus gave my kitty as much love and attention as I would have if I was home.”

“star had a great stay! communication was excellent, and i felt completely comfortable leaving her in their care. i especially appreciated how understanding they were when i reached out after her stay to share some new information about her recent hip dysplasia diagnosis. they genuinely cared about her well being, and i wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again. thank you for taking such great care of my girl! 🫶”
“Small had an amazing few days with Madison, Joseph and Knox! Went on walks and adventures, and was so well cared for. Came home exhausted every evening from a full day of playing with his new friends. Thank you!”
About: I’m a true animal lover. If it has paws, scales, fins, or whiskers, I’m already invested. I’ve cared for and fostered all kinds of pets over the years—dogs, cats, aquatic babies, reptiles, and the tiniest furry friends like bunnies and hamsters—so I’m comfortable across the board. To me, pets aren’t “just pets”…they’re family. My approach is calm, patient, and gentle. I pay close attention to each animal’s personality and respect their boundaries so they always feel safe, understood, and comfortable. At home, I’ve got my own little zoo—2 sweet cats, a bearded dragon, 2 geckos, 4 snakes, and an adorable mouse—so trust me, I’m no stranger to unique personalities and specialized care. I would love to care for your pet when you need a break, go on vacation or when you make other plans. You can be assured that your pet is in good hands. To offer the best care, my max capacity is currently 2 pets per day. 📍 Located in Milwaukee – Capitol Heights area 🌻 I work from home so I’ll always have time to play, feed and love on your pet babies. I’m always flexible with their needs (bathroom breaks, medication, shyness) to make sure they are always comfortable. If my schedule or availability changes, I always send out updates to my calendar right away. ❤️ To offer the best care, my max capacity is currently 2 pets per day. I have a fenced in back yard with plenty of space for pets to roam, play and toilet if needed. Pets are always welcome to bring their own items. My 2 lovely cats are usually shy and more of the watching type, so they won’t bother your pets but will surely admire them from their cat trees. All activities and toileting are supervised. There is no smoking of any kind in my home or pet areas. There are some pictures of our living space in the photo collection on my Rover profile.
“Maria provided an early update, as this was Winston’s first time visit with her. A fenced in yard and observing the dogs playing together was noted by me. She asked questions regarding Winston’s care. Communication was good as far as what happened during his day (feeding, etc) and Winston’s came home happy and tired.”
“Thank you so much to Kim! Kim was a fantastic dog sitter for our dog Mushi today. She's very friendly and made us feel very comfortable about leaving our lab mix rescue with her while we enjoyed the Milwaukee Zoo. She walked Mushi and also gave us updates as well as pictures. I highly recommend her to watch your dog.”
“Our 1-year old chocolate lab Charlie LOVED hanging at Auria’s home! She sent me a pic during the day (so nice ??) & when I picked him up he was in the happiest mood! Will definitely use her again!”
“I looked into a few options for our pup and it was no question that Monique was the best fit. Our pup had a great time, she made sure to send me updates on him, and we loved the little report card at the end!”
“Just fantastic dog sitters - Michael to accept at a short notice due to a family emergency and his wife Heather !!! I definitely recommend them now and always!! :) :) they made Lido feel at home”
About: Hi there! We are lifelong dog lover with years of hands-on experience and two sweet pit bulls of my own. Our home is shared with my playful and loving 3-year-old boy and my silly, affectionate 1-year-old girl, who both love making new friends. We've spent many years in responsible dog breeding, which has given me a deep understanding of canine behavior, health, socialization, and individual needs. Whether your pup is shy, energetic, or somewhere in between, We are confident and comfortable caring for all personalities, ages, and breeds. With me, your pets will be treated like part of the family — plenty of love, attention, structure, and fun. I’m committed to creating a safe, positive environment where every dog feels at home. I can’t wait to meet your furry family member! --- If you want, I can also tailor it to a specific service (boarding, drop-ins, walks, etc.) or adjust the tone to be more professional, playful, or concise. I offer flexible scheduling for pet boarding thanks to my role with a property management company, which allows me to be home often and adjust my availability as needed. This flexibility helps me give your pet plenty of attention, supervision, and consistent care throughout their stay. For everyone’s safety and comfort, we kindly require all pets to have their own crate during their stay. Crates provide a secure, familiar space for your dog to rest and relax, especially during downtime or when we briefly step out. Their safety and well-being are always our top priority. Also provide your pet with their favorite food/treats for their stay. We are also able to provide that for an additional fee.
About: I have been the go-to pet sitter for my large family & friends for years and just decided to see if anyone else would need the service. I have no pets or kids but I am a pet lover in a nice home with a big fenced in yard. I like hanging out with the pets like little buddies, getting some days of cuddles and then sending them home 😅. It’s the perfect way to get some fur baby time until I’m ready for my next dog or cat in the future. This is not a business for me, it’s something I have enjoyed doing for my family and friends, and if you want your beloved pet to be in a calm but fun, comfortable environment while you’re away, I can extend my service to you. I recently started doing home stays/drop ins for the pet sitting too and enjoyed it. I currently have a really flexible schedule with a lot of availability. I live with my dad that occasionally says hi if the dog or cat is friendly but mostly the house is big enough that they never cross paths. I have a fenced in yard and a big house with a lot of space that I can also section off by closing doors. I typically take the animals out several times a day, feed them, and let them roam around the house or snuggle with me. I like when pet owners bring a bed for their pets so I can make them their own space but they’re welcome to chill with me in whatever I’m doing. I’m youthful, active, and responsible. I have a naturally friendly, calm demeanor that animals and people respond well to. I have no pets right now but used to have a pit/black lab mix that I loved dearly so I love pits and other breeds with historically bad reputations. I frequently sit my aunt’s beagle mix who’s just a little old pup that sparked my interest for pet sitting cuz it was so fun to have visits from him. He and my old dog are in a bunch of my pics. With all animals I just try to make them comfortable and let them feel at home.
“Dane is fantastic; couldn’t recommend him more. Our pup loves getting to hang out with him and his goldens. We’re pretty sure our dog would prefer to live with Dane and his dogs if he could! We know that our dog has a great time because whenever we turn down the street that Dane lives on, our dog loses it with excitement regardless if we’re dropping him off or on our way somewhere else. Great backyard, the sweetest goldens and super nice humans. Definitely a winning trio.”
“I have an almost two week stay booked for my old man puggle. I wanted to do some day visits so he could get used to the changes. She said he did so well and adjusted easily. I am feeling so much more at ease about the stay!! I am so grateful that there are people like her out there.”
About: Dogs and cats have always been a big part of my life, and I know how much joy and comfort they bring. I’d love the opportunity to care for your pets, whether that means daily walks, playful activities, or snuggles on the couch. I’m flexible and attentive, making sure your furry friends feel happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. I’m 22 years old and recently graduated from UWM with a Bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice. I currently work part-time at a coffee shop and have a flexible schedule, making it easy for me to accommodate pet care needs When I’m caring for your fur baby, I’ll send as many pictures as you’d like, there’s no such thing as too many! I know I’d want updates on my own pets, so I’m happy to keep you connected while you’re away. I follow all instructions carefully to make sure your pets are well cared for!
About: Updated 08/03/26: 🐾 🚧 Exciting Update! We're putting the finishing touches on our large, fully fenced yard! The project is expected to be completed by the end of August 2026, giving our Adventure Day and boarding guests even more room to explore, play, and enjoy the outdoors safely. Amelie runs WeFriends K9 full-time, providing professional pet care, behavior-focused training, and rehabilitation services. Her greatest success story is her own rescue dog, who was saved just before being euthanized because of behavioral issues. Through patience, structure, training, and trust, he has transformed into a confident, balanced companion. His journey continues to inspire Amelie's passion for helping dogs reach their full potential. Amelie and her husband, Stephen, have been providing pet care through Rover since 2022, while also working with clients independently. Together, we have years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, breeds, and personalities, including many rescue animals. We truly believe that every animal deserves the same balance, happiness, love, joy, and harmony in life that we all strive for. That philosophy is at the heart of everything we do, whether it's an adventure day, pack walk, daycare, boarding, house sitting at your home, training, or simply spending quality time with each pet in our care. We are loving vegetarians. Amelie previously worked at the Wisconsin Humane Society as an animal care technician and has participated in and volunteered with several international animal rescue organizations. She has experience working with many different types of dogs, cats, and other animals. As Stephen is at school for teaching on the weekdays. Most of the time Amelie will be the one who leads the services. Both sometimes work together and sometimes will be only one person shows up for the services. It is always good to support one another. ❤️❤️ Our Services include; - Adventure Day/ PACK WALK/ Individual Walk - DAYCARE but not a typical daycare! - Boarding (sleep over) at our place - Drop-In for a short period of time at your place - House Sitting (Overnight stay) at your place - Gentle Touch Massage to release stress and tension - Dog Rehabilitation/ Training Since we offer a variety of services, we kindly ask that you read the description for each service carefully before booking. Each service is designed to meet different needs, and the details will help you choose the best fit for you and your dog. 🐾 Adventure Day / Pack Walk — 3–4 Hours | $55 This service isn’t currently listed as an option on R o v e r, but we do! Feel free to message us directly if you’re interested to join the pack or would like more information. Each outing includes: - A few pack walks during the time together - Socialization and decompression time - 3 to 4 hours total including travel and transitions We rotate locations (parks, pet-friendly cafe/store etc.) to provide mental enrichment and new experiences. 🐾 Individual Walk (listed on R o v e r) $30 per 30 mins: We can provide a one-on-one walk or include your dog in a pack walk, depending on time, your preference and what's best for your dog. 🏡 Daycare $75 per day Not your typical daycare! Think of it as a fun day with a purpose—an extended version of our Adventure Day that combines exercise, enrichment, socialization, and training. Our Daycare includes pack walks, structured rest time, enrichment activities, basic training, and supervised social play. After their Adventure Excursion/Pack Walk, dogs spend the afternoon with us enjoying a calm, relaxing environment where they can rest, settle, and continue practicing appropriate behaviors. This balanced routine helps dogs learn not only how to have fun, but also how to switch off and relax after physical and mental activity. This service includes both pick-up and drop-off if you're located along our Adventure Day route. Pick-up and drop-off times may vary depending on the day's schedule, travel route, and the other dogs joining the pack. 🌙 Boarding at Our Home $90 per night ($50 per night for an additional dog) Your dog becomes part of our structured&well-designed home pack. Includes: - Daily pack walks & outings - Calm rest and downtime - Socialization & Enrichment - Structured feeding & routine - Supervised home environment We balance exercise, mental stimulation, and rest based on each dog’s needs. At this time, we prefer boarding dogs who are already part of our Adventure Day, Pack Walk, or Daycare program. This gives us the opportunity to get to know each dog, understand their personality, routine, and individual needs before they stay overnight in our home. If you're interested in boarding with us, we encourage your dog to join an Adventure Day, Pack Walk, or Daycare session before your trip. This helps make the overnight stay much more comfortable and enjoyable for everyone. Our preference is for dogs that are crate trained. However, we're happy to discuss your dog's individual needs during the Meet & Greet. For example, if your dog is reliable sleeping on their own bed in a designated area throughout the night, we're absolutely open to that as well. Our goal is to create a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for every dog staying with us. 🐾💕 **Adventure Days / Pack Walks are typically held on **Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays** and last about 3–4 hours (occasionally on Mondays or Fridays as well). Please note if we're staying overnight in your home (House Sitting), we'll be away for approximately **4–6 hours** during the day while leading our Adventure Day pack. If your dog is friendly and enjoys being around other dogs, they're welcome to join the Adventure Day with no extra charge! It's a great opportunity for structured exercise, socialization, confidence building, and learning alongside a balanced pack. For **House sitting at your home**, we do our best to adapt our schedule to your pet's normal routine. We'll carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding, medications, walks, potty breaks, bedtime, and any special care your pet may need, so they can stay comfortable in their own home. We have a background in dog psychology and training, which helps us understand canine communication, structure routines, and support each dog’s emotional and physical well-being. Our goal is to provide a safe, structured, fun and loving environment where pets can feel comfortable and understood. Many pet parents also notice positive changes in their dog’s behavior at home We normally approach animals with calm energy to make them feel safe, secure, relaxed and not feeling too excited, especially the first impression when it comes to Meet & Greet. It is a warm up ritual to build trust and respect, and to get to know and bound with them. ** Fear Free Certified Professional **
About: I helped raise my own two family dogs and ensured that they were always walked, bathed, fed, and happy. It's also a habit of mine to go take the extra step like wiping my dogs and make sure they are clean after they've been outside. I've also taken care of my neighbor's dogs alongside our own family dogs, so I have experience handling multiple pets at once. I work full-time, Monday through Friday, while working from home 2-3 days a week. I also go to workout classes in the evening. Normally, if working from home, I take the dogs out for a walk in the morning. On other days, I take them for a walk in the evening. I normally take pets out 3 times a day, once in the morning, afternoon, and night. I make sure the dogs have a dedicated spot for food and bed. I have both a park and a dog park, 5-10 minutes away from my apartment, which I can take the pets to for a walk or some dog play time. There are also multiple yard-like grass areas where the dogs are meant to do their business. If pets stay with me for longer than two weeks, I bathe them every other week.

“Shelby is great! We couldn’t ask for anything better. Shelby walks our dogs three days a week and she’s been on time, extremely sweet, the dogs love her and she keeps us informed on our dogs. We have a big German Shepherd that tends to pull on walks, and Shelby rose to the challenge without complaints. I highly recommend her to others looking for a walker.”
About: Hi! We’re Maddie & Joseph — a pet-loving couple with a lifestyle built around dogs. We offer a calm, loving, and active environment where your dog is part of the family. I (Maddie) have grown up with dogs and cats my entire life and have always been hands-on with training. My grandpa has been breeding huskies since before I was born so dogs have always been a large part of my life. . I’m confident working with high-energy and large breeds, and I’m especially passionate about giving puppies the structure, love, and attention they need. I previously worked at a doggy daycare which has given me plenty of knowledge on caretaking and maintaining a happy and healthy home with multiple dogs. I (Joseph) have always had a deep love for animals—I raised a kitten growing up and worked at a reptile store where I cared for reptiles, fish, and insects before traveling for a year. Together, we’re all about giving pets thoughtful, experienced, personalized care every step of the way. 🐾 We are both currently working from home so normally one of us is always home. If we do leave your pup will never be left alone for more than an hour. Our space includes a fully fenced backyard, a dedicated doggy room with a queen-sized mattress, cozy dog beds, and an XL crate if needed. Ring cameras and security system so we know our house is always watched. Maddie has trained her super well-mannered and playful 6-year-old Siberian Husky since birth who loves making new friends. We only take in 2-3 dogs at a time which is plenty of space for our house. Our neighborhood is quiet and safe with a playground, large field and lots of kids around. We follow your dog’s routine closely and send regular updates so you always feel connected—your pup will be treated like part of the family. 🐾
About: I am a crazy cat lady. I’ve been around cats my entire life and currently care for three of my own. One of my cats has chronic kidney disease, so I’m very experienced with medications, subcutaneous fluids, and close monitoring. I’m comfortable caring for cats with special needs, giving oral medications. I truly value the human animal bond and treat every cat as if they were my own. I’m a strong communicator and provide regular updates and photos. I’m always happy to do a meet & greet beforehand to make sure it’s a great fit for both you and your cat. Please feel free to reach out with any questions! I currently work remotely. I can be flexible and work around your schedule. I would be happy To work from your home and spend more time with your cats if you want! I provide calm, routine focused care while respecting each cat’s boundaries. I keep environments clean and safe, follow instructions carefully, monitor for subtle changes, and communicate promptly with regular updates
“Maddalena is so helpful and flexible! I appreciate her thinking ahead- she saw it would be raining so she took our dog on a quick walk and then played with her inside. Dallie still got some energy out, and we couldn't be happier. :)”
About: Hello and welcome! We take care of/have taken care of all different kinds of pets. We have our own two dogs, as well as six cats. We have experience with multiple different breeds and types of animals, as well as being able to handle many at a time. (We have had up to 9 dogs in my care at one time!) I know how hard it is to leave your pet behind, which is why I will update you with pictures as much as you would like. I have a finished basement if your loved one would prefer to be separated, and also have many open rooms for them to choose from for slumber. The cats have a gated off cat room, only accessible to humans and kitties. The crew and I can't wait to meet you! (Or if you prefer the whole crew won't meet you :)). Dani is currently home full time. At this time Dani is home for almost the entire day, with occasional errands. You can request our schedule for any amount of time to confirm your loved one will be cared for properly and on time. We deep clean all items used after a pet stays, so that they are ready for the next pet to stay. We have extra blankets, beds, crates, bowls, and more. We keep our fishtanks neat and clean, as well as my home. My dogs are extremely friendly even with cats. My backyard is fenced in with access through a back door. When it's nice out we play outside with the dogs where they have access to a kiddie pool to play in the water. I have started to add more outdoor play equipment/toys.
About: My whole life has been around dogs and cats. I grew up with 3 cats and 2 dogs. In my adult life I owned 3 dogs. I’ve helped train puppies of my own all the way to caring for senior dogs. I have watched friends and neighbors animals from checking in with cats daily to housing dogs for a few days to months. I have a very flexible work schedule so I can check on your pet in the morning before work, during my lunch break and after work. If you need me to be at your house full time with your pet I can easily work from home multiple days. I am a digital media marketer so I can work about anywhere and at any time. I have a fenced in yard with 2 very playful dogs if they need any playtime. I know a great dog park for dogs to run and play their heart out. I love going outside so taking dogs for walks is one of my favorite things to do. Since I live with 2 dogs I know how to feed, play, relax and sleep with them.
About: I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life and love them so much that I decided to work at a Dog and Cat daycare and boarding facility. I’ve been working there for 3 years and have worked with all breeds and ages varying from puppies to seniors and love comforting them and making them happy while also making sure their parents know they are in good hands! I’m currently working part-time and my availability is flexible. I’m willing to make adjustments as long as I am notified at least 2-3 weeks in advance. Depending on the typical routine of the pet, I will follow it as close as possible to make them feel as comfortable as I can. I will keep them busy by going on walks or by playing with them, or if they have lower energy I’ll just make sure to give them extra attention.
“Genesis is always reliable and takes excellent care of my pup! She truly loves and cares for everyone’s pet that she takes care of. She’s so communicative and kind to both me and my dog Heidi! :)”
About: I started off taking care of small animals, but then became trained as a kennel attendant and enrichment specialist in my growing career in animal care. I wanted to offer more to my local community with the current skills I have, along with learn and grow with every pet and parent! I’m aware of how dogs communicate with each other with body language and have been trained to break apart a fight, even before a fight could start.
About: I've grown up with pets ever since I was little. I've been trusted even from young ages to walk, feed, and clean up after dogs. I've never had a bad experience and I'm always willing to encounter any and every kind of dog out there with lots of love and care! I have my own pet at home, had him for 10 years. Even after so long, it's so easy and even fun sometimes to do the little things for your pets like feeding them, walking them, and just making sure you spend some quality time with them! There's never a moment I don't want to be around my pet, or any pet for that matter! I always think the key to good pet care is real love and attention. Watching for what your pets want and giving them it will make them happy. If it's attention, bring on the cuddles! If it's a walk, let's do it! And that goes for pets that aren't mine as well. I always care for them like they're mine, and will pay attention to what they want as well as what their owners know is best too!
About: Growing up I wasn’t allowed pets, so I watched my friends dogs. When I was old enough to get a job, I started working at a dog boarding facility! I have had the pleasure to feed, give medicine, take them on walks, bathe, do playtimes, & share so much love with them! I then worked at WVRC which broadened my knowledge in the emergency field. I now work as a veterinarian technician & see all animals, even exotics! My pup passed this year, sadly, he was an epileptic & taught me a bunch of patience & how to care for him well. I know he would want me to help other pups too. I currently work Monday-Wednesday 8-6. Thursday & Friday I have half days. However I can go during my lunch break & let the dogs out & do anything necessary. My schedule is very flexible depending on what is needed! When it comes to following rules & regulations, i take high responsibility in doing the best that I can to meet those expectations. I think getting the dogs outside, weather permitting, is so important. Whether that is walks or just throwing a ball around.
About: I have grown up around dogs my entire life and have years of hands on experience caring for my grandparents’ Shih Tzus. I am attentive, patient, and always prioritize each pet’s comfort and safety. I carefully follow all instructions provided by pet parents and make sure their routines are maintained exactly as requested. I am reliable, punctual, and committed to showing up when expected. Most importantly, I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to create a calm, loving, and trustworthy environment for them. I maintain a structured and dependable schedule, ensuring consistent arrival times and adherence to each pet’s routine without exception. Safety is my highest priority, and I remain attentive at all times to prevent risks during walks, feeding, or home care. I build trust through clear communication, reliability, and strict follow-through on owner instructions. I also focus on creating a calm, stable, and comfortable environment where pets feel secure, relaxed, and well cared for throughout my time with them.
About: 🐾 Buddy’s Boarding — Where Pets Feel at Home 🌈 Hi! I’m Percy, an experienced pet lover offering premium dog boarding from my home in Brown Deer. I previously was a professional dog handler with experience working with hundreds of dogs of all breeds and temperaments. I now work full time from home caring for the most amazing dogs! Pups are rarely ever alone and always cared for with confidence, attention, and a whole lot of love! 🐶 Why pet parents love Buddy’s Boarding: • Spacious fenced in yard for play and potty breaks • Flexible pick-up/drop-off times with clear communication • Convenient location — just 10 minutes from I-43 and Hwy 41 • Quiet, dog-friendly neighborhood with sidewalks and green space • Attentive, patient, & experienced sitter ✨ Our Story ✨ Buddy’s Boarding is named after the dog that started it all. At 10 years old, I found Buddy as a stray near my dad’s business and begged my mom to let us keep him. She said yes, and from that moment on, my bond with animals was sealed. That connection still fuels the love and care we give every dog who stays with us. Whether your pup is active and playful or chill and cuddly, we tailor each stay to their needs. Let us know your dog’s routine and preferences, we’re happy to accommodate. 🟢 Drop Off & Pick Up Windows 🟢 Monday through Friday 8am to 8pm Weekends 9am to 7pm Pick ups or drop offs outside of the window can be accommodated for an additional fee.

Schedule Caring for dogs is my full time focus. I provide Rover pet care full time, and am home full time outside of quick errands and hitting the gym! I maintain a calm, attentive environment where dogs are rarely alone and always have someone nearby to meet their needs. Safety We prioritize safety by pet-proofing our home, keeping hazardous items out of reach, and supervising pets at all times. Whether it’s backyard play or a leashed walk, we ensure dogs are always in secure, pet-friendly environments. We also tailor safety measures to each dog’s personality, energy level, and needs. Trust Building trust with both pets and their people is at the heart of what we do. We take time to understand each dog’s routine and preferences, and we maintain regular communication with pet parents, sharing updates and photos so they always feel connected and confident in our care. Environment Our home is clean, cozy, and designed with dogs in mind, with plenty of space to move, comfy spots to rest, and loving attention throughout the day. We create a calm, positive environment and adjust our approach to meet each dog where they’re at.
“Kristina communicated very well and was very patient when dealing with some technical difficulties relating to my apartment building access. My neighbors said she was pleasant and Korbin enjoyed his walks with her!”
“We have been working with Haani for a month so far. She's so great with Gus! Since she started working with Gus, he's gotten better at understanding and listening to commands and not pulling when he's on his leash. He's always so happy to see her! Haani communicates well and is really reliable. We're excited to keep working with her.”

“Andrew and his family treated my Oscar as part of their family. He was in constant communication with me while I was away in Italy for almost 3 weeks. Andrew is very kind and very easy/flexible. I would recommend him to anyone that needs a trustworthy person to watch their furbabies! Thank you Andrew!”
“Scott was very accommodating and communicative, we got several pictures and even a short video of our dog out playing in the fresh snow. Our dog has a fear of smooth floors and Scott was able to layout enough rugs and beds that Barley was comfortable. Will book again.”
“Cindy was great to work with and very flexible with scheduling. We received text messages with photos and updates while we were away. We will be using her service again!!”
“I felt very comfortable dropping off Piper with Perseus. She seemed immediately at ease and loved the backyard. From the pictures and videos I received, she seemed to really enjoy her time, and we were able to enjoy our vacation knowing she was well cared for”
“Kim did a great job with our dog Georgia! Georgia has lots of quirks and Kim managed them well. She was communicative, and sent photos and updates without me having to ask for them. Georgia was safe, happy, and relaxed when we brought her home. Thanks Kim and Tom!!”
“Angela is simply wonderful. She took excellent care of our 13 year old Pit Bull mix while we were on our two week vacation. Our dog wasn’t used to being away from us that long and since he had always received a lot of attention and care, we were worried about finding someone who would take just as good care of him. From the moment we met Angela, we felt completely at ease. Her warm, positive attitude immediately reassured us, and she wasn’t fazed at all by our dog’s hip issues and reduced mobility. Throughout our trip, she kept us updated with regular messages and photos, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. Our dog was extremely well cared for, and we are so grateful to Angela for the love and attention she gave him. We would absolutely choose her again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter.”
“My dogs loved their stay with Madison and Joseph!! I have an anxious pup and they did a wonderful job making her feel comfortable and at ease. I got lots of updates with pictures and videos which I loved. This was my first time using Rover so I was a little nervous but they definitely gave my Cookie and Willow a home away from home, highly recommend!😊”
“Scott & Ashley were amazing with communication & updates putting this worried heart at ease. Fred was very well loved and we would definitely have him stay there again.”
“Ashlee is absolutely amazing! She provided us with adorable pictures and updates during Boscos stay; we will definitely be requesting future sittings and sending friends her way!”
“My dog Bella always love to spend time with MJ. She is well cared for and I’m at ease while away. MJ is great with providing her with good care and comfort.”
“Sarah and her family provided constant updates of my dog throughout the week. Her daughters seemed really engaged and loving on my dog, making me feel confident she was receiving all the love and affection she gets at home. When I picked her up, my dog seemed so relaxed, almost as if she hadn’t been gone all that time, helping me feel confident she was safe and loved on. Usually after boarding in a facility, my dog is highly anxious, extra agitated and disheveled. None of that here with Sarah. Her and her family were truly the best sitters. I never worried once while away.”
“Tracy was great with Hana and gave frequent updates and pictures. Tracy clearly has great experience taking care of dogs with all types of temperaments and I felt Hana was in great hands!”
