“Thank you Kayla for excellent pet service. This was my first experience with Rover and it was fantastic with the updates, pictures and summary per event. Great customer service and communication to give me peace of mind while out of town. I will certainly use your service again!”


2. Jason K.

“Jason quickly made a strong connection with our lab, Ralph, and with us. He puts extra time, thought and effort into his care of Ralph which has made a difference. He is also extremely responsive and provides detailed information about each interaction. He’s terrific!”

“Stephen is great with our silly, high energy dog Roxy (doberman). We always feel comfortable she is in good hands under their care and she is always happy (based on the fun photo update we get). I would highly recommend their services”


4. Kati C.


“Kati was awesome, I highly recommend her...we have two dogs and they have never had a "sitter" stop by to take them on walks. The dogs loved her and she was always on time and flexible when I needed extra walks. Thanks Kati!!!!”


5. Megan E.
“Megan is a caring dog sitter. She was attentive, fun and loving to my dear Oreo and treated him like her own. She is very professional, attentive and responsible sitter. I will continue to use her in the future.”


6. Angela O.
“Angela is an amazing pet caregiver, I admire how passionate, responsible and loving she is with her job! She always shows excitement and love when she takes care of my 3 pit bull and bully mix dogs, they’re around 70 pounds and all 3 of them love and enjoy being with her. My dogs aren’t easy to handle but she always makes it look easy, she knows how to manage all situations with them, they have fun with her and she is absolutely someone my dogs trust.”


7. Anastasia L.
“Anastasia is one of the only people I trust with my own dog Tori. She is very accommodating and great at making sure that Tori is well cared for. Tori is always excited to see Anastasia and I feel confident that she is getting the attention and care that she deserves. I have known Anastasia for over seven years and she is always my go-to girl if I need Tori to get walked or taken care of overnight.”


8. Rebecca M.

“Excellent dog Walker. Rebecca is very passionate about pets and her service was excellent. We look forward to booking her again!”

About: Hi! Thanks for checking out my profile! I have years of experience caring for dogs, including my own two pups, and I’ve even participated in AKC dog shows. Whether it’s going on fun walks or keeping your dog company, I’ll make sure they’re safe, happy, and well cared for. I’d love to help care for your dog and make sure they have a great time! Can’t wait to meet them! ❤️ I work full time during the day but I'm available every evening after work and on the weekends! I'm also available around lunch time to drop by and take care of anything. I love setting up meet-and-greets (if time allows) so we can make sure I’m the perfect fit for you and your pet! It’s also a great way for me to get to know your furry friend better. I’m super detail-oriented and always appreciate written instructions to make sure I don’t miss a thing! If I visit your home, I make sure all doors are properly locked and take both my safety and your home’s security seriously. If you’d like, I’m happy to bring in packages or mail. I’ll also make sure to leave your space just as clean and tidy as I found it. I’m happy to help on an as-needed basis, but I’m not able to commit to regular, ongoing schedules like daily or weekly visits. Thanks for checking out my profile! Feel free to reach out with any questions, and I’m excited to hear from you!

About: I’m a huge animal lover, I’ve been pet sitting for about 4 years but my personal experience with animals go back about 10+ years. I’m very patient, fun, caring and outgoing. I have a very friendly rescued dog of my own & 3 cats. I’m available just about anytime to watch your baby. My schedule is pretty flexible…. If you have questions feel free to message me any time. I live in a great neighborhood for walks. I have a friendly dog & 3 cats of my own for your baby to play with.

16. Olga S.
About: I love animals and caring for them! I’ve had a dog myself for 8 years and cared for my friends/family’s cats, bunnies, guinea pigs, and more. I have a quiet home - just myself and two grown children (20 and 17) so sitting at my home is always an option. I have a pretty flexible and open schedule since I’m a stay-at-home mom, so I can spend time with the animals and they won’t be home alone all day long. I’m also open to sitting at the owner’s home for those reasons. I like to stay active so walking/running with your animals is always fun for me :) I look forward to caring for your loved pets as they are my own! Message me with any questions.


17. Evelyn G.
“I had the pleasure of having Evelyn help out with my dogs, and I can't recommend her enough! She has been an incredible asset in babysitting and taking care of our dogs. She has an amazing ability to connect with all breeds and temperaments. Her professionalism, kindness, and genuine love for animals shine through in everything she does. My experience with her has been nothing short of great, and I truly trust her with the care of our pets!”


18. Megan H.
About: I have been dog-sitting for five years now. I would say I’m a very patient person as I teach dance to young children. I am very hardworking and trustworthy person. I’m currently finishing a degree in dance and marketing! Following my college graduation, I will be available during the day until I go to teach dance. My schedule varies each day and sometimes varies week to week, but I always have my morning available. I am definitely a morning person! I keep my home and my own spaces very clean and organized. I really don’t like clutter which makes for safer environments for your animals.


19. Sammy H.
“Sammy is a very loving person and loves animals of all kinds. She gives all animals the respect and love they they deserve. She was amazing with our Sofie.”


20. Shannon H.
About: I have been an animal lover all my life and have had two dogs of my own since the age of 18. I love playing fetch, walks and cuddling just as much as my pets do. I have a German Shepard and had a Rottweiler who passed away earlier this year. I am in school full time to become an ultrasound technician but still spend a lot of my free time dogsitting for family and friends! I have been dogsitting now for over 8 years and love being able to give my clients peace of mind while they are unable to be there! I love updating my clients and sending photos throughout my visits especially since I know what it’s like to have to leave your pets in the hands of someone else! Majority of my time during the week is taken up with school but I am typically free weeknights and weekends! I am full time ultrasound student who commutes to Milwaukee 5 days a week. I am typically free at night during the week and on the weekends! The best thing about being able to provide these services is knowing how comfortable my clients feel with me taking care of their pets. I love each pet as if they were my own and will always put their sacred and needs as my main priority.
