About: I've always had pets in the house since I was little, dogs and cats mostly. I have two of my own dogs, trained them both when they were puppies. I also volunteered at the Wisconsin Humane Society for 8 years, I was a dog walker, which entailed cleaning rooms, walking them, feeding them, playing with them, etc. Always had so much fun seeing all the types of dogs coming in. I'm currently working full time but I normally work the same days, shifts varies from week to week. But I would like to add more fun to my life and not so strict with work work work. So I would love to add more Rover days to my weeks as time goes on. I have a fully fenced yard, plenty of space in the yard and in the house. I have baby gates to rooms that don't need to be entered and at the top of some of our steps to prevent falls. Always pay attention any unusual signs that the pet might be in distressed. Also aware of little things as I come across them with the fur babies.

About: What sets me apart is the level of love, patience, and attention I give to every pet in my care. Whether it’s a bouncy puppy learning the ropes or a sweet senior needing extra support, I tailor my care to fit each pet’s unique needs. I have experience with basic puppy training, including leash manners, crate comfort, and potty routines. I’m also confident caring for senior dogs—administering medication, helping with mobility, and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Your pet won’t just get a sitter—they’ll get a new friend who truly cares, communicates well, and treats them like family. As a student with a very flexible school schedule, I’m able to plan my days around pet care pretty easily—as long as I have a little notice, I can make it work! I love spending time with animals, whether it's getting outside for a good walk or just hanging out at home. On weekends, you can usually find me curled up with a furry friend or two—it’s honestly my favorite way to relax. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in yours, safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I make sure pets feel secure, loved, and right at home—whether that means sticking to their usual routine, keeping their environment calm, or giving them extra one-on-one attention. In your home, I’m respectful of your space and follow all instructions carefully—from feeding schedules to walk times and any special quirks your pet may have. In my home, I keep things clean, cozy, and pet-friendly, with lots of snuggle spots and safe spaces to relax. Building trust with both pets and their people is important to me, and I always aim to communicate clearly and keep you updated so you feel at ease while you're away.

About: I love spending time with dogs and have an easy time getting along with different varieties of dog and dog personality. I'm happy being active with your pup and getting in some good walking or fetching time, or just chilling out and scratching behind the ears if so desired. I'm glad to serenade your pet as well, I love a captive audience! Simply let me know what you want for your dog while you're out of the house and I'll provide it. I am glad to cater to your desired approach of dog ownership, strict or relaxed, as long as it does not include physical punishment. Regarding the time slots listed - I might have a hard time making the earliest of the first shift but I should be able to manage 8 AM, and I could gladly go as late as 5 or maybe 6 PM, but wouldn't care to go as late as 10.

About: Hi, I'm Isabelle! I am a graduate student at the Medical College of Wisconsin looking to spend some time taking care of dogs in the Milwaukee area. I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life, and have had a natural affinity for all kinds of animals. I love spending time with dogs, throwing a ball for them, taking them on walks, or just giving them attention. Dog walking is awesome because I want to spend time with as many wonderful pets as I can! I’ll treat them just as well as I would like my pets to be treated since I know how important they are. Prior to Rover, I have done pet sitting for family, friends and neighbors, and have volunteered with the humane society as a cat and dog socializer. I am eager to meet new dogs and dog parents! I am available on weekends and weekdays for dog walking or check-in visits. My schedule is pretty flexible and I would love to include dog walking throughout my week. I can care for pets in your home for overnight or daytime dog-sitting. I have experience with in home dog-sitting for vacations about one week long in which I provide frequent walks, dog park visits, play, as well as daily care and hygiene. For dog walks, I can walk your dog around the neighborhood or to a local dog park for some socialization and off-leash time.

About: I’ve done this for years I do conduct these services with a second person. Her name is Jazmine and she has just as much experience as I do I work a lot so my girlfriend usually does all the day time stuff while I do the nightly so I’ll always be available whether it’s me or her I have an apartment with a good amount of toys. I live alone so your pet will be my only friend. The area is pretty safe and I know some better areas your pet might enjoy. If you want I can always take them to dog parks as well. I do have 2 cats. Both kittens. All they do is stay in my room so they are harmless

About: Growing up we had three dogs and they all lived very long lives and unfortunately passed within the span of a few months. We rescued two beautiful cocker spaniels Charlie and Minx to go along with our family dog Maya who was coincidentally a cocker spaniel. My job in the family was always to take care of the cats, dogs, and rabbits. I loved taking care of animals and my favorite activity was going for walks with the dogs. I currently am enrolled at MATC and am in the radiography program. I have a long break before registration for the Radiography petition window is open and would love to spend my extra free time taking care of pets. I also set my availability as available for all days of the week to accommodate last minute appointments. From our cat Moo to my leopard gecko Richard all of the animals in my house are pampered daily. I would treat each clients animal the same way that I treat mine. All animals are treasures and we as humans are honestly blessed to get to take care of them. All animals have different personalities and I believe that each one requires different kinds of care. Some animals loved to be touched and held whereas some are hesitant at first or it may make them anxious. Being able to respect and discern these traits early on will help make the animal feel more relaxed and trust you.

“Liz is a great communicator and it was clear the first time we met that she knows a lot about dogs. Liz has been great so far with our pup and are glad Liz now is a regular part of our schedule!”

“emily was great with our 3 dogs! they were all comfortable with her from the initial meet & greet, even our shih tzu who can be a little anxious. she came over twice for walks, was on time, sent full reports with pictures on each dog, and even spent some time with them afterwards for some pets. i would recommend emily and will be using her again in the future!”

About: I've raised animals for most of my life (mine and others). My friends and clients like my soothing and happy presence. I can't wait to be your pets' 2nd best friend! As a writer and young professional, I'm currently working a part-time, but flexible job. I have (almost) open availability so I can prioritize your pet(s) the way you would! Clients will often choose me because I am attentive to watering any plants as needed and love to tidy up in my spare time in addition to taking care of their furry friends!

“We’ve been using Julie for Cat services, but recently started using Julie for dog walking, she is amazing! Any animal care, call Julie.”

About: ## INTRODUCTION Howdy there, thanks for choosing my Rover! I go by Billy! First things first — My highest priority is the safety and well-being of any dog in my care. Outside of that, I'm also big on making sure they have a blast, are loved, and feel secure in my home. I am energetic and warm, yet firm. I've owned and raised 4 dogs over the course of 18 years, from puppydom to old age, and have cared for many more. I am adept at handling dogs large and small - physically and training-wise. ## SCHEDULE I am fortunate to have a highly flexible schedule. Your dog will always be safe by my side. I’m quite fond of dogs, so it’s a joy for me to spend my time in this way. ## APPROACH TO CARE I want to understand the needs and expected behaviors of any pet in my care, given your specific guidance and instructions. I am highly communicative and err on the side of caution, as your doggo’s safety and well-being are absolutely the highest priority for me. I have a highly flexible schedule since I'm in the middle of a job search, so I'll have all the time in the world to hang, play with, and co-work with your pup! I have the entire upper floor of my house available for your dog to lounge and roam in, equipped with multiple dog beds and lots of toys. There's also a fenced yard in the back whose concretedness is optimal for ball bouncing and catching, keep away, chasing, and more!

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats the last 15 years of my life, and see myself with a pet by my side for the rest of my life. I currently have a 5 year old female golden doodle named Lulu who is my best friend. We enjoy going on long walks, park visits, exploring nature and socializing in downtown Milwaukee. I love all sorts of cats and dogs, no matter the breed, shape or size! During the summer I have off as I work in the education field so my schedule is much more flexible. I am willing to accommodate nearly all schedules with notice, both on weekdays and weekends. During the school year I am limited to late afternoons and evenings, along with weekends. Holidays are available with advanced notice. I have a fenced in backyard with gates. I always put a collar on my dog when we leave the house and she always has a leash. I take great pride and caution when having my pets outside as I give them and other animals the space they need. I will always ask permission from owners as to what works best for their companions.

About: I’ve cared and loved for dogs since I was probably 8 (if not younger). If your dog needs a buddy to run around with, play, snuggle, or just needs someone around to watch them if they’re a little naughty, I got you covered. I’ve cared for puppies, elderly dogs, well behaved and not so well behaved pets. I have provided oral medication as well as maintaining hygiene with baths. I understand every dog has a different daily routine, and i’m happy to make sure your dog is as comfortable and happy as possible. I work at Target, mainly closing shifts but an occasional morning (willing to share more in depth schedule if you have questions, just ask!) I always have off on Wednesdays and usually another day of the week. If you need long term care, let me know 3+ weeks in advance and I can happily assist! I am available most mornings. However, I have a pretty much open availability for cats needing to stay at my apartment for an any period of time. Again, if you have any questions about certain days just ask! At my home, I have 2 cats and tons of toy options to choose from. I unfortunately cannot hold dogs in my apartment, I would love to, however I live in a smaller apartment with not much yard space and that just feels unfair to the dog. At your home, I will do the best I can to follow your pets daily routine unless given other instructions.

About: I have had dogs all of my life. Some of which loved to walk and play, others liked to cuddle on the coach. I always make sure they live their happiest life! I work from home full-time, so my dog and I are two peas in a pod. We go on regular walks whenever I have down time and she always has whatever she needs. I take my dog on 3 regular walks a day. I have a bathroom area outside for dogs as well. I always make sure they have food and water and will offer to play regularly.

About: Experienced in dog walking & check-in doggy day care. Which usually consists of me letting dogs outside to go potty. I spend extra time with them out doors so they get fresh air. ( Playing fetch is my favorite). I do poop pick up. I feed them morning & evening time. Consistent replenishing water. Will play with them as much as they want. Talking & singing to animals is the best way to make a connection with them in my experience. I will also pet your animal as much as they want of course. I have an open schedule since I work from home on my own accord. Message me with your pet care needs & I will accommodate as best I can. I will care for your pets however you request! I do provide extra pets, attention & play time especially. I love talking & singing to animals.
