“Sherry was wonderful with Nukka! She provided updates regularly, gave Nukka lots of love and walks. When a slight health issue arose, Sherry immediately notified me so I was aware of what she was seeing. I was able to get Nukka into the vet the following day for treatment! Thanks for taking such good care of our girl!!”
“Yolanda took such incredible care of my dogs, Bailey and Jinx. From the updates, to the photos, and just making sure they were comfortable and happy, every detail was perfect. It is clear that Yolanda is the best and goes above and beyond to make each pet feel at home. I had complete peace of mind knowing my dogs were in great hands and will definitely use her services again—highly recommend!”
“Angela kept our senior dog over a long weekend while we were out of town. She was super attentive and sent lots of pictures, putting our mind at ease. She clearly loves dogs and we knew our pup was in loving hands! I would definitely use her again and recommend her without any hesitation!”
“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!”
“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 !”
“My dog stays with Doreen for 8 days. He needs medication twice a day. Doreen has taken care of him very well and keep us informed daily with picture. Thanks, Doreen.”
“Levi is a frequent visitor at Dan’s and loves going there. It’s Levi’s home away from home and I always know he’ll have fun, and will be well cared for.”
“Maria and Nayibe were amazing with Copper. They send photos regularly and updated us on how he’s doing and were very flexible. Copper enjoyed his stay with them!”
“Had to go on a trip and they hosted Kai last minute. They took really good care of him. They sent me pictures and videos which made me feel more at ease. Kai had a blast! Thank you!”
“Ashley and her family did an excellent job watching my two pups. Both seemed to be enjoying themselves while I was away. I got updates and pictures periodically so I was always in the know of what they were up to. Ashley was accommodating with time drop off and pick up. I appreciate the time and love you spent with my babies.”
“I can not say enough about the outstanding care our dog received from Scott and Ashley. We received frequent updates and messages to keep us up to date. We are so very grateful that they invited our dog into their home.”
“Cindy, Thank you so much for taking such good care of Gunner!! We really appreciate the pictures and updates you send to let us know that our "gentle beast" is being a good boy and getting along with the other dogs. I apologize for him taking up most of your bed. 😂 He thinks he is a lap dog! Anyone on Rover should know that their dogs would be under great care when they choose you as their sitter!!! Thank you again!!!”
“Scott was a wonderful sitter to our dog, Phoebe. Excellent communication, professional, and friendly. He sent us a few pics while we were away to let us know how she was doing, which I especially appreciated. Definitely recommend Scott, and his cute dog Lucy, to anyone looking for a sitter and a playmate.”
“Working with Julia and Colin was our first Rover experience and we could not be happier with how it went! Julia is extremely communicative and made the process easy. Our dog took to them very quickly and we could tell she was made comfortable in their home. We look forward to booking with them again!”
“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!”

“Mateo was communicative, trustworthy, and reliable. I am very anxious leaving my babies alone, especially because I just moved to the area not too long ago, and I absolutely trusted him. Thank you so much for taking such good care of my babies! 🥹”
“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.”
“Miranda ❤️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️❤️ Above and beyond care! She was prompt, never late! Always on time! Miranda was exceptional! She provided such beautiful compassion to my Jack George, taking him on walks, spending time outside, and feeding him just like Mom! Cleaned his little box! Fresh water every day! She did more than I did with him in a day. I will be hiring her to visit Jack on a routine basis! Oh, the pictures - she sent at least eight photos on each visit! Loved that!! I was so impressed with Miranda and how the Rover App works! Thank you, Miranda!”
“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.”
“Maddalena was a great fit for our cat. She seemed to bond very quickly to the point Maddelena sent us video of their quality time spent together when she visited, rather than basically have our cat ignore her. In the past that has always been the case when we have others stop by to check in. We received photos each time Maddalena visited which made us feel better while we were away. Maddalena was very reliable and open with communication. We will rebook with Maddalena any time we go out of town in the future.”
“Great service! Jen watched more than one pet for us. Our cat doesn't like strangers but Jen handled her moodiness. Have used her more than once already and would again.”
“Shelby is great! Her communication is prompt and always keeps me informed. Our furbabies have gotten to know her and now wait for her at the door. We've used her before and will continue to use her!”
“Anya was an AMAZING cat sitter. She provided consistent and regular updates with cute videos and photos. Additionally, after not seeing one of our cats for a few days, she went out of her way to locate and find the cat (who is very good at hiding).”
About: I’ve owned cats my whole life, I currently own two of my own. I have dog sat since I was in middle school, so over 10 years. I adore all animals, and look forward to being able to meet yours ! I work full time but am flexible throughout the day, I am completely free after 430 for walking or checking in or staying at your place to make sure your animals are safe and cared for I will follow instructions always to a tee, I make sure your dog or cat is safe and feed and cared for, and loved !
“Kayla was on time and had great communication! She spent ample time making sure Quinn did his business, and gave him plenty of attention and belly rubs! We got some adorable pictures updates as well”
“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!”
“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.”

“Aidan was amazing with our last second booking and went so far above and beyond! Will definitely send our dog here again next time we’re in the area!”
“Monique was great! She was very straightforward about the process and how she has dogs in her home, which I appreciate greatly! Tatum has separation anxiety and finding an option that he feels comfortable and safe is really important! She communicated during the day on how he was doing and even got a report card and treats for his first day! This was amazing and I will be working with Monique again!”
About: Hi, my name is Lynn and my love for pets started at a young age. I find that dogs need more than love and affection. They need mental stimulation. While your dog is in my care, I assure you they will have all three. (Love, affection and mental stimulation) I have always had dogs my entire life. I currently have a 3 year old Lagotto Romagnolo named Bonita. She loves to play with other dogs big or small. I live across the street from a park so we will have plenty of play time. We will do lots of walks, play time as well and some down time. If you need help with basic obedience training, let's chat. If you have a kennel or doggy bed please bring it with you, as well as food and treats. I look forward to taking care of your dog(s)! Pet care is my life. I have a daily routine with my dog Bo. I take her to the dog park a few days a week and also let her run in the yard as well as across the street at the park. My days and hours are flexible, and someone is always home. I don't have a fenced in yard, but I will use a leash with your dog. I live on a quiet culdasac and have a park across the street for lots of play time.
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.
“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.”
“Auria is so great with dogs! Our 6 mo old French bulldog has a great time with her and her dog Dallas. She was great giving him special attention today as he is healing a fractured leg, she understood his restrictions and made us feel assured that he was safely able to have fun at her house. This was Tucker’s second stay by Auria and he hates to leave!”
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.
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.
About: I've had dogs ever since I can remember. I was brought up to love, respect and care for animals and that's why I got into vetmed back in my home country. I had to stop my studies to come here but I haven't stopped wanting to help. As a pet parent, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to support you and help you care for your furry babies. I have pet and house sitted for friends and family in the past. I have pet sitted cats and dogs but I'm open to help with small species and exotic pets. Rest assured I'll do everything exactly like instructed by you, always with lots of love and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I'm currently staying at home so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups, take them on walks and snuggle with them. I have two small dogs that can keep your puppy company and we also have a very walkable neighborhood with some green areas we could explore together.
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: Hey there! I’m a new Rover sitter who truly enjoys being around dogs. I’m dependable, easygoing, and always focused on keeping dogs safe and comfortable. I’m happy to stick to your dog’s usual routine and I’ll keep you posted with updates and pictures. Your pup will get lots of attention, care, and love while you’re away! Currently, I am working in office on Tuesdays and Thursdays until about 230/3pm and work at home on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Weekends are very open and only tend to leave for short periods of time to run errands I have a fenced in yard with plenty of room for them to run around and enjoy the outdoors, as well as one Corgi at home. I do live in a two story house with the primary bedroom upstairs. Depending on the preference, dogs are usually allowed to roam free whether I am home or not but I do have gates to keep them from going upstairs if necessary.
“My puppy is 2 months and Maria was so sweet to my doggy! I had a last minute appointment and Maria was so understanding ! She catered to my dog and made sure she played her heart out . She made sure to send lots of videos and updates . Very wonderful. Thank you Maria , will be sending Tour over soon ! :-)”
“Jan was great! She knew I was concerned that my sometimes reactive doggie might misbehave in a new place but Jan sent me an update right away to let me know she was doing well. She sent messages and pics throughout the day for reassurance, even though I didn’t ask her to.”

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.

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. :)”
“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.”
“Paul was great as the first non-family walker of our six month old puppy. He helped Ollie on his waking protocol and gave him the exercise he needed. We will definitely use him again!”
“Karlee did awesome checking in and walking my dogs! They can be excited and she was patient with them. She is also very responsive. I will definitely book with Karlee again!”
About: I have been around dogs my whole life. I grew up on a farm and we always had three dogs around. I frequently pet sit for my friend's 60 pound Pitt-mix. I can give medication, and am good with puppies. I can patiently train or work with dogs who are learning the ropes. I can provide daily exercise when your dog is with me, and lots of snuggles! I work less than ten miles from home, so on most days I can pop in for a walk or potty break. I can board the same dog for up to two weeks depending on the situation. I can only take one dog at a time so your dog will get all the attention! I always follow the owner's wishes, and guidance on how to best care for their pet. I don't go overboard with treats, but I do go overboard with affection.
“Genesis is everything you’d want in someone taking care of your pet! She was amazing with my senior dog and was a fantastic communicator too! I would highly recommend her services to anyone and will definitely be seeing her again soon! Thanks Genesis :)”
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. 🐾
“Miranda was a wonderful dog walker. I called her last minute and she was able to accommodate my schedule. My dog was excited to see her every day. Miranda showed up promptly and gave me updates after each walk. She was very kind to both my pet and my mom who was babysitting my dog. I would highly recommend Miranda!”
About: I have had many dogs in my lifetime from childhood and as an adult and love to give dogs the love and compassion they deserve I am a new physician assistant graduate and do not start my new job for quite a few months so I have quite the down time to take care of pets! I have a dog myself and ensure I will care for your dogs with the same amount of love, compassion and care! I also have a background in healthcare

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: Having been surrounded by dogs and cats throughout my life, I've cultivated a profound passion for working with these wonderful companions. While growing up, my mother and I had a cat, but most of my interactions with pets occurred through my grandparents. My grandparents have always had dogs and allowed me to be actively involved in their care, including feeding and walking. This experience nurtured a deep passion and profound appreciation for animals, as they are not just our pets but integral members of our family. I embarked on my first job at McDonald's, where I gained valuable experience in providing excellent customer service. In September of my first college year, I began working at the UW Veterinary Hospital as a kennel worker. This role primarily involved cleaning and providing vet students, vet techs, and doctors with the necessary equipment for treating animals. In the following spring semester, I left the hospital and secured a position as a dog caregiver at Dog Haus University in Madison. I was already familiar with dog behavior, but this job allowed me to gain confidence in recognizing a dog's emotions through their body language. Additionally, I currently work at a doggy daycare in Milwaukee called Unifursity in the same capacity, but with the added responsibility of pottying and feeding dogs since this establishment also offers boarding services. I have experience in petsitting my grandparents' dogs in their home while they were out of town and have demonstrated my ability to maintain their routine. Being at the doggy daycare has allowed me to gain new skills such as properly administering the Bordetella and Distemper vaccination, along with solidifying my skill in maintaining a dogs daily schedule when it comes to feeding, pottying and excerise. Regarding my experience in Madison, opportunities that arose did not align with my housing situation since I did reside in the campus dorms. Patience is a quality I've developed over the years, partly due to having younger siblings who can be quite challenging. My grandma's dog, a large German Shepherd with severe separation anxiety, has given me experience in dealing with dogs who are considered "difficult." Working at the daycare, patience is crucial, as some dogs struggle to follow instructions and require consistent redirection. There have been instances of nervous dogs who were initially wary of strangers, but through careful handling, consistent communication, and positive interactions, I gained their trust while maintaining authority when necessary. I am a full-time student, but I have flexibility on times as my schedule isn’t super demanding. I do work Thursdays, Fridays & Sundays, and I’m able to be accommodating around times if needed. While I do have a full house that could be overwhelming to some pets, as a pet sitter in a client's home, I will follow their guidelines closely which may involve feeding pets according to their usual routine, administering medication if necessary, and engaging in play or exercise activities. I aim to maintain a clean and organized space, respecting the home and the pet owner's preferences. The specific services I offer may vary, so I'm adaptable to the needs of both the pet and the owner. Clear communication and a genuine love for animals guide my approach to pet care, ensuring the well-being and happiness of the pets entrusted to my care.
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: I am a nearby teacher just looking to help you out with your dog/s! I know how stressful it can be to leave your dog with someone else and I want it to be stress-free for you. I have a dog of my own, and I grew up with dogs all my life and love to be around them! I can socialize your pup with mine or keep them separate. I am free most weekends and holidays. I can go on a run and/or walk with your dog or just give them a little extra love and attention. I am a big fan of all dogs whether they are big or small. I also know some about cats if you need help with them as well. I am available on weekends and if needed can work in a Friday too. This allows me to put all my attention on your pets. I have one fur baby of my own that can easily be separated from your pup if needed. I also have easily access to a crate and a neighborhood dog park.
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: 🐾 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. Vaccines required: Rabies and DHPP (or DHLPP) Optional but highly recommended: Bordetella I can’t wait to welcome your dog into my home! 🐾 👉 Send a request to get started! I’d love to meet your pup! 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!”

“Sherry was wonderful with Nukka! She provided updates regularly, gave Nukka lots of love and walks. When a slight health issue arose, Sherry immediately notified me so I was aware of what she was seeing. I was able to get Nukka into the vet the following day for treatment! Thanks for taking such good care of our girl!!”
“Yolanda took such incredible care of my dogs, Bailey and Jinx. From the updates, to the photos, and just making sure they were comfortable and happy, every detail was perfect. It is clear that Yolanda is the best and goes above and beyond to make each pet feel at home. I had complete peace of mind knowing my dogs were in great hands and will definitely use her services again—highly recommend!”
“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!”
“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 !”
“Levi is a frequent visitor at Dan’s and loves going there. It’s Levi’s home away from home and I always know he’ll have fun, and will be well cared for.”
“Had to go on a trip and they hosted Kai last minute. They took really good care of him. They sent me pictures and videos which made me feel more at ease. Kai had a blast! Thank you!”
“I can not say enough about the outstanding care our dog received from Scott and Ashley. We received frequent updates and messages to keep us up to date. We are so very grateful that they invited our dog into their home.”
“Cindy, Thank you so much for taking such good care of Gunner!! We really appreciate the pictures and updates you send to let us know that our "gentle beast" is being a good boy and getting along with the other dogs. I apologize for him taking up most of your bed. 😂 He thinks he is a lap dog! Anyone on Rover should know that their dogs would be under great care when they choose you as their sitter!!! Thank you again!!!”
“Scott was a wonderful sitter to our dog, Phoebe. Excellent communication, professional, and friendly. He sent us a few pics while we were away to let us know how she was doing, which I especially appreciated. Definitely recommend Scott, and his cute dog Lucy, to anyone looking for a sitter and a playmate.”
“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!”
“Ashlee was great with my dog, Sariah! She sent updates with pictures throughout the weekend, which was much appreciated. We will definitely book her again when we need a sitter.”
“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.”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and truly consider them family. Growing up, my family had a Cocker Spaniel, then a Weimaraner, and eventually we fell in love with Labrador Retrievers — we’ve had three Labs in a row. My most recent chocolate Lab, Thor, passed away about 2 years ago, and until we’re ready to bring another dog home, I’ve decided to pour that love and care into other people’s dogs. My dogs have always been right by my side, so your dog will never feel like a guest. If your dog enjoys car rides, they’re welcome to come along with me. At home, they’re free to relax on the couch, go for walks, play at the dog park, or just enjoy companionship and attention throughout the day. I trained our labrador Thor to retrieve so if you have a hunting dog and they have a favorite retriever toy I’d be happy to keep their skills fresh while you’re away. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your dog, and I’ll care for yours as if they were my own — with plenty of love. I work full-time Monday to Thursday.I am an early riser due to work and having young kids. I work 10 minutes from home so stopping home for potty breaks and exercise during the work week is easy to do. Friday,Saturday,Sunday we are home bodies with two young kids and will treat your dog like family all day. I can crate your dog in our XL crate with a comfy bed if needed. Puppies can be put into a puppy play pen as needed. We have a nice yard to play and a dog friendly neighborhood for walks weather permitting. I will only watch one dog at a time for dog safety and to give your dog my full attention. I will watch multiple dogs from the same household. Due to young kids (3&5 year olds) living in our home I do request dogs that do well with children. If you have a puppy I understand the potential teething and nipping stage is apart of a dogs growth and understand the process as I’ve had 4 puppies in my life. My children will always be supervised around your dog.
