Highly-rated overnight sitters - Washington Park
“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!”
“Linda was amazing! She was able to accommodate my dog very last minute, which I truly appreciated. She was very kind and made sure my dog was comfortable and well cared for throughout her stay. She took her on multiple walks each day and kept me updated, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. This was my first time leaving my dog with someone I didn’t know, and Linda made the experience so much easier than I expected. I could tell that she genuinely cared about making sure my dog was happy and comfortable. I’m very grateful for the care she provided and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone dependable and caring to watch their dog!”
“I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Ashley and her family. Penelope has stayed with Ashley before, and it is so clear how much they genuinely adore her — and the feeling is absolutely mutual! Ashley is incredible about sending me photos and little updates throughout the day, so I always know how Penelope is doing and what kind of fun she is getting into. There is such a difference between knowing your pet is being well cared for and knowing she is being genuinely loved while you’re away, and with Ashley, I never have to worry for a second. Her entire family is so incredibly sweet to Penelope, and she is clearly completely comfortable and happy in their home. When I picked her up today, she genuinely seemed like she would have preferred to stay with them rather than come home with me — which I suppose is the highest praise a pet sitter can receive 😂 Ashley has become someone I completely trust with Penelope, and I feel incredibly lucky to have found her. We will absolutely be back!”
“Stella stayed with Dawn and her family for a few days. Overall, the stay sounds like it went well. She has a nice fenced yard for her to run and play ball. They communicated and sent pictures and were quick to respond to messages.”
“Laura is a wonderful dog sitter! Our 18 month old pup stayed 3 weeks with her and her chocolate lab. This was her 2nd stay with them. She was well taken care of. My pup and her dog were inseparable! Laura provided daily updates and pictures of our pup enjoying her stay. She followed our requests for special care for her. We will definately use her for future sitting and highly recommend her T.o Weber”
“Ashlee did wonderful taking care of my 11yo Shih tzu and 2yo Goldendoodle. She took them on walks, and sent me updates while I was on my trip!! She was flexible with the time changes in my travel and made it easy for me to pick them up!! I know my pups were in great care with Ashlee!! Thanks again ☺️”
“Mitchell did a great job with my dog Cody! He sent lots of photos and updates. I know Cody had a great time because he came back very tired! I highly recommend Mitchell and I definitely will be booking with him again in the future!”
“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!”
“From our first encounter at the Meet and Greet we felt completely comfortable with Yolanda. She took our dog in her arms and walked her through her house to make sure our dog felt comfortable. A week later we felt completely at ease with leaving our fur baby with Yolanda and her family. We received pictures and updates about our fur baby all day which we appreciated very much. We already booked Yolanda for the near future. We thank you again!”
“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.”
“We couldn't be happier with Sarah! Her and her family were incredibly reliable, warm & welcoming, and went above and beyond to ensure Moose was comfortable and well-cared for. When our flight was changed last minute, Sarah was understanding and flexible. We appreciated the daily updates and so many amazing photos. It was so reassuring to see how happy Moose was during his stay. We highly recommend Sarah to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter! We will absolutely be rebooking for our next vacation.”
“Gabriel was great, my poppy had a great time with him and his puppy Mel. Lots of playing and wrestling, and Gabriel was great about sending pictures/updates all weekend. 5 Stars!”
“I’m so happy that I had Michael take care of my dogs my precious wonderful girl friends. He contentious, caring, and kept me informed at all times when things were going well or if there were anything to be confirmed about. The girls got home with me and I could tell they missed their time with him and the friends they made there I’m very very very pleased and if you’re looking for a good guy to take care of your dogs, your precious dogs this is the gentleman you want to call thank you! I’m very pleased”
“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 🐾”
“Elizabeth and her family took great care of our dog for 3 nights! We appreciated the photo updates and thoughtful communication. Would definitely recommend Elizabeth to anyone needing a reliable and caring dog sitter!”
“Max and his girlfriend took great care of my pup!! She loved having other dogs to play with. Max has a wonderful personality and vibe. He is very compassionate and you can tell has a spot in his heart for dogs. My pup had a ton of time playing outside, took walks and had a park adventure. Max is accommodating and was happy go alloys my pup to relax on the furniture and most importantly sleep/snuggle up in bed at night. Would HIGHLY recommend anyone to Max gor dog sitting.”
“An absolutely wonderful four-night stay for my little dog, Rosie! The care, affection and a attention that they generously give is just amazing. Update, photos, videos and any concerns were provided to me throughout Rosie's visit. Five stars is simply not enough stars!”
“Evita was great with Tucker, this was our first time using a dog sitter for an overnight stay and she eased all my concerns and provided great updates. We will definitely be booking with Evita again in the future. THANK YOU”

“Kathy took great care of my cats!! She went above and beyond by cleaning the litter boxes and vacuuming. Her updates and photos were detailed and made me feel at ease while away.”
“Liz was amazing! She was so sweet to our two cats and took excellent care of them. She also took her son over to visit them one night and he was great with them. Can’t recommend her enough, we are immediately rebooking for our next weekend trip.”
“Leandrea did a superb job with my kitty Sunny! I was anxious about leaving him due to him just having surgery a couple of days prior, but I was immediately put at ease with her quality of care! I would recommend her to anyone looking for care for their pet! I will definitely be booking for all my pet needs in the future! Thank you for being so wonderful!”
“We are so glad Kristine was available on Christmas Day to check on our cat. She came a few days prior on late notice for a meet and greet and provided a nice update!”
“Rosie interviewed Nicole in a Meet and Greet and I heard Nicole say we will get along just fine! And I could see that and it happened! Nicole went out of her way to pave the way for being with Rosie. She wanted to know her habits, asked about brushing her and wanted to know my needs for updates. I felt very comfortable leaving Rosie in Nicole’s care. And from the updates I could tell Rosie felt comfortable with Nicole. I will definitely call upon Nicole again! She cared, was dependable and easy to work with. I may even book a play date for Rosie knowing how they got along. Glad to have River!”
About: Are used to take care of cats, dogs, and horses for as long as I can remember. My neighbors would always have me careful there’s. I have a lot of free time, so I normally take my dog on a walk or run every day. Let’s go on an adventure. I have a fenced in backyard. I have a spacious home. I live in a very quiet neighborhood. Always give them love and attention that they need.
“Emily is an excellent trustworthy cat sitter! She communicates well, follows all instructions for their care, and takes cute photos. Everything was great when I came back. Thank you Emily!”
“Vanessa was communicative, prompt, and kind to our sweet kitty mochi! We are extra grateful she came by over the holidays. We are so glad we found her and can’t wait to invite her over again soon.”
“Jeremy was great! He obviously enjoys taking care of animals and he went the extra mile for us to get an extra feeding visit in. We will happily use him again!”
About: I’ve grown up with cats my entire life and currently have two of my own, so I’m very comfortable with all kinds of personalities! From shy hiders to confident attention seekers, volunteering at the Austin Animal Center for the past year and half has given me hands on experience with cats of all temperaments and needs. I understand that every cat has their own routine, quirks, and comfort level, and I always aim to keep things as stress-free and familiar as possible while you’re away. As a certified crazy cat lady, I can promise your fur babies are in good hands with me 💓
“Erica was a huge help and accepted my request on very short notice! She did a great job taking care of my cat, Ladybug, and provided updates after every visit. Thanks, Erica!”
About: I have grown up with Golden Retrievers my whole life as my dad hunted with them and trained them for Field trials. We always had three in our home. Once we even had a litter of puppies and there is nothing better than puppy kisses. I personally have had two Black labs, one that was so content to lounge and be a couch potato and my current lab at 8 years old fools everyone into thinking she is 2 or 3 with how active she is. Because of her I understand the importance of walks and her needing lots of exercise, new sights and smells. I have a flexible work schedule and typically only work 3 days a week so I can be there to ensure your pup gets what they need. Happy to play in the yard or walk as needed to make sure your pup is content. Just let me know what their rules are and I'm happy to follow to ensure they are happy and healthy.
About: **update** I’ve moved neighborhoods! I now live near Wauwatosa! I do have a fenced in yard! I’ll still take clients in Bayview too! ☺️☺️ I had a dog in my house every since I was in elementary school, and loved each one of them more than anything in the world. I have been dog sitting since my mid 20s, and thoroughly enjoy taking care of and loving dogs of all sizes! I work close to home Wednesday through Sunday, no more than 7 hours at a time. That leaves plenty of time for several walks, playtime and the dog park(if allowed). I live 2 blocks from several parks and a 10 minute drive to 3 dog parks. Your pup(s) will get plenty of exercise and have free roam of my house, and can sleep wherever they choose including the furniture and beds(unless otherwise instructed:) )

Perfect for high energy dogs - Washington Park
About: All my life animals have been a part of my life! I have always had a dog or cat in the home growing up. I just love spending time with my dog, taking him on walks, cuddling with him, and playing fetch with him! Same with my kitten she can be the biggest cuddle bug, or Ms. Independent (I love her either way)! I am currently exploring pet care as a full time job! I have open/available for all your pet care needs day/evening care, boarding, walks! Let’s communicate, I’d love to help you with your pet care needs Currently I have 1 dog a 13 year old chihuahua, and a 6 month old kitten. scrappy and Anastasia are very friendly, and get along great with other animals! We take walks daily, and visit a local dog park 2 to 3 times a week.
About: After several busy months on Rover with almost nonstop bookings, I have had such great stays with dozens of dogs, no accidents in the houses, no bites, no runaways, zero negative experiences. I feel confident that with me, you’re getting a premium stay for your pets for a really good value! I’m incredibly hands on and present with the pets, with them 24/7 and very adaptable with the different needs and personalities. I’m attentive with different care instructions and really shower the animals with positive attention 😊 I have no pets or kids but I am a pet lover in a nice home with a big fenced in yard. 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 because 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.
“My partner and I wanted to spend a couple of hours on my birthday at some places that don't allow pups - after quick and easy communication with Michelle, we booked daycare with her. Our pup is very social with dogs and people but is always super cautious at first. When we dropped Navi off, she was a bit skittish and didn't really want to go in the house. This left us feeling a bit worried. However, Michelle immediately sent us an update with pictures after we drove away showing Navi explore the house and the backyard. Throughout the day I received so many pictures and videos of Navi playing in the pool and with other pups. It genuinely was the best birthday present I could have asked for. It made us so happy to receive so many updates showing Navi living her best life with her new friends. It was clear Michelle loves doing what she does and cares for every pup like they are her own. If we are ever in the Milwaukee area again, we would love to have you watch after our girl again! Thank you again, Michelle!”
“Linda was super accommodating for a last minute booking, she was very flexible with the pick up and drop off times and she was very kind to us and amazing with our babies!”

“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.”
“Elizabeth was fantastic and put our anxious pup at ease. Dobby thrived with her and Enoch and came home happy and well cared for. We would happily have him stay with her again and would recommend her to others.”
“Michael and his wife were very kind to champ. They are true dog lovers. Very responsive to our requests. We returned later than we thought we due to traffic and Michael was were very understanding and gracious about it. Thank you!”
About: What sets me apart is both my personal and professional experience caring for animals of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and currently work at Dogtopia, where I care for and supervise dogs daily. This has helped me become patient, attentive, and comfortable working with different temperaments and energy levels. I also have experience with both senior dogs and puppies. My senior dog, Otis, had arthritis, so I learned how important patience, comfort, and attentive care are for older pets. I also helped raise and train our pug puppy with basic training, routines, and socialization. Because of these experiences, I understand that every pet has different needs depending on their age and personality, and I always try to make pets feel safe, active, and cared for like they’re my own.⭐️😊 Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. I work at Dogtopia, where I help maintain a safe, clean, and fun environment for dogs of all sizes and personalities. 🐾 My job has taught me the importance of paying close attention to dogs’ behavior, safety, and overall well-being throughout the day. When I’m home, I also spend a lot of time caring for my own dog. I enjoy taking him on long walks by the lake, staying active with him through runs and playtime, and making sure he gets plenty of attention, exercise, and care every day.🦮🏃♀️❤️ When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I always prioritize safety, comfort, and keeping pets on their normal routine as much as possible. I make sure the environment is clean and secure by checking doors, gates, food, and anything that could be unsafe or easily gotten into by curious pets.🤗 I also pay close attention to each pet’s behavior, energy level, and individual needs to help them feel comfortable and stress-free while their owner is away. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, medication reminders, or simply giving them attention and companionship, I always try to make pets feel safe, cared for, and 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.

“Yshonda treated my Kingsley so well and kept me informed with pictures and videos. I was able to work without anxiety knowing she was caring for my fur baby.”

He was well cared for, and we could tell he was happy and comfortable. Thank you for taking good care of him Max.”

About: I am a true animal lover at heart! My family always owned dogs growing up, I adopted my own, Bear, in 2017 and my cat Luna (aka Tuna) in 2021. After recently losing Bear unexpectedly, I’m hoping to help heal my heart and get some puppy love by offering walks and drop-in visits to your babies! Prior to adopting Luna, I offered in-home boarding for many years through Rover. Unfortunately she’s not a fan of having other dogs around, otherwise we’d still be offering that service. I also worked at a doggy daycare during college because I loved dogs so much, and I wanted to spend time with them even though I couldn't get one at the time. This obviously provided me with lots of experience in handling multiple dogs! I promise to love your furbaby like my own and provide lots of pictures and updates :) I work remotely on Monday/Thursday/Friday so I’m available for drop-ins or walks during the workday! Would love to arrange regular services over lunch time. As some who believes that pets are family, I promise to do everything in my power to keep your pets safe under my care. When I have hired Rover services myself, I love to receive lots of pictures and updates from my sitters, so I promise to do the same for you!
“Sydney was the best!!! She went above and beyond to keep me updated on our pets! And our dog Rigby loved her on their walks together! I definitely will be using Sydney again in the future!!!”
“I felt really comfortable with Erica walking my dog a couple times today while I had a long day at work. She was on time for both walks, and was very mindful of my dog’s needs. She also kept in contact with me all day which helped me relax a little and I felt like my dog was in good hands!”
“Vanessa has been walking my dog regularly for several weeks now and I couldn’t be happier with her help. She’s been very patient and loving with my dog, flexible on the schedule, and provides great walk reports and pictures. Thanks, Vanessa!”
“I have had my sweet little dog for over 15 years. No one has walked her except for family members and the people at doggy daycare. She is also deaf and partially blind. So I was extremely nervous to have somebody else walk her. But this was perfect! Leandrea did a great job with Jolie! She was on time, didn’t mind Jolie dragging her around the condo building several times, and give her kisses. It was wonderful to hear and to see Jolie happy and excited in all the pictures.”
About: Hi! My name is Nikita. I'm currently looking to gain more experience with dogs and other animals. I'm trying to gain experience in order to look into becoming a dog trainer. So if you decide to choose me to look after your pets I may practice with your dog! Don't worry I'll be nice, I practice with several different styles of training. While I may not have a lot of professional dog experience, I have been around all sorts of animals my entire life. Whether it's my dog that I currently own or the several dogs that I grew up around in my family. I've always had some sort of animal living around me, and I've always had a passion for caring for them.
“Melainie is so great with our chihuahua mix, Bowser. Bowser is a great judge of character and is very selective with who he will allow to rub his belly and he loved Melainie the second he met her!”
About: I have been taking care of dogs for 7 years with backgrounds in daycare, training, and grooming. I can provide some or all of these components to my sessions with your pet. Pet care is a full time routine for me. I’m available and ready to put your fur baby in my schedule! I can be as active as your pet needs or the perfect couch potato partner. I care for the animals and the home based on client needs. I also am K9 & Feline CPR certified. It’s fun to me to try and find the activities and enrichment that best suit the pet and try to give them the best day possible with me.
About: What started out as babysitting quickly turned to dog and cat sitting as parents and friends saw the love that I have for children and animals. 🐾 My part-time schedule will allow me to have plenty of flexibility for our furry friends as part of my day. Whether it’s a morning walk, a midday check-in, or some extra playtime and cuddles, I’m happy to include their care into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule and am available for pet care Tuesday through Sunday, with a standing commitment on Tuesday mornings/early afternoons (10 a.m.–1 p.m.) and church on Sunday mornings (9:30-12). I’m dependable, flexible, and genuinely enjoy making sure pets feel happy, comfortable, and loved while their people are away! Because I live in a duplex with my own dog, I prefer to go to clients homes and care for pets where they feel most comfortable and at home.
About: Animals have always been a part of my life, I adore them and I'm always excited when I have the opportunity to meet and care for a new fury friend. I have 1 amazing, clean and well-behaved dog-baby. She’s sweet and high energy but doesn’t have playmates so this platform allows me to help out other doggy-parents and gives my dog an opportunity to meet new furry-friends. When your pup is in my care you can trust that they'll be treated with the utmost love, care and respect. My home is always clean and there is a dog park nearby. I respond quickly to requests and provide you with as many or little updates as you'd like while your dog is in my care. If there is a particular schedule/regimen your dog follows, please let me know and I'm happy to accommodate that. I welcome last minute requests and will do my best to help if I can. I work full-time from the comfort of my home so I have the flexibility to keep watch over your dog and tend to their needs. My home is always clean and sanitized. I have a dog who has updated shots and in excellent health. When your dog is with me, I take extra care to make sure they are safe. I follow all instructions given by you regarding food, walks etc. and if checking into your home, your privacy will be respected and your home will be secured when entering and exiting the property. I work from home, which allows me the flexibility to provide attentive care for your pup, including walks, playtime, and meeting any special needs they may have. Your pet’s comfort and happiness will always be my priority. In my home, I provide a clean, safe, and comfortable environment with plenty of supervision, playtime, and love. In your home, I ensure pets feel at ease, follow their routine, and maintain a secure and nurturing atmosphere.

“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!”
“Linda was amazing! She was able to accommodate my dog very last minute, which I truly appreciated. She was very kind and made sure my dog was comfortable and well cared for throughout her stay. She took her on multiple walks each day and kept me updated, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. This was my first time leaving my dog with someone I didn’t know, and Linda made the experience so much easier than I expected. I could tell that she genuinely cared about making sure my dog was happy and comfortable. I’m very grateful for the care she provided and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone dependable and caring to watch their dog!”

A week later we felt completely at ease with leaving our fur baby with Yolanda and her family. We received pictures and updates about our fur baby all day which we appreciated very much. We already booked Yolanda for the near future. We thank you again!”

We will absolutely be rebooking for our next vacation.”
