“Sydney is great! She was able to check in on my two pups multiple times. Sydney always leaves a detailed report and makes sure we get pics of the pups during her visits. We highly recommend her!”

“Kristine was awesome with my cat Winnie. She can get scared with new faces but Kristine was kind and gentle with her. 10/10 would book with her again!”

“Thank you so much Erica for taking care of our Luna while we were out of town. Our Luna is a bit anxious but Erica gave her time and patience until she came around. She loved her belly rubs! We appreciate you and definitely recommend!”

“Cathy was reliable and communicative - just like last time! She remembered our cats and their personalities. We appreciated the pics and reports and will definitely request her again in the future.”

About: I've had multiple dogs over the last 30 years. Mainly Bull Mastiffs, Border Collie Mix, and multiple Pitties. We lately have been adopting older dogs to give them the best end of life possible. For friends I've watched many smaller to larger dogs, comfortable with all. I have experience with all sorts of meds and care, although I prefer to stay away from anything with needles when possible. We've been to the vet more times than I can count, and have gotten good at understanding/reading dog behavior and signs of distress. I have experience with all soft of personalities...shy or alpha, lazy or rambunctious, etc. I like to understand them and work with them where they are at so they enjoy themselves and are happy. I'm a pretty calm presence and in general dogs trust me right away. My wife will joke that I am a dog whisperer as dogs tend to follow my lead easily, but I think it is simply being confident and projecting that you are there to take care of them. I have a very flexible work schedule and am home most of the time. I only have 1 dog right now (Oscar, 82 lb Pitty who loves everything and everyone...he walks around with soft toys like they are his dolls), but will likely be back to 2 in the near future. I walk my pup(s) pretty much every day. We live near Hart Park and the Oak Leaf Trail so getting out to walk along the river/parks is very easy. New to doing this formally rather than just for friends. Normally watch friends dogs at their place. If we take care of your pup in our home, we will always have 1+ pups that will be other-dog friendly. My wife and I have a small Tosa home but fully fenced-in yard to be able to let them out at any time day or night without worry. We have a small main floor but it has 3-4 dog beds and multiple toys (prefer dogs who are ok with soft toys, as our pup(s) don't rip those up. Will likely prefer caring for your pup in your home, it simply mitigates the crowding in the house and any potential conflicts. If I look after any cats, those would be at your house. We no longer have cats and aren't prepped for that in any way.

About: 👋🏼 Hello! My name is Krystal and I am a dog lover who has taken care of dogs for 25+ years. I have 2 male poodle mixes, Adobo and Charley.💙 They’re social boys who love company, but respect boundaries if their furry friends don’t want to play. I work from home and walk my dogs 2 times a day (or 1 long walk) and we also enjoy hiking or playing in our fenced-in backyard. Your furry friend will have activity, company, and love while under my care! ☺️ 👩🏻‍💻 Working from home full time gives me the flexibility to easily fit pet care into my day, allowing me to provide regular attention, walks, playtime, and companionship. Please feel free to send a message to check on my availability! 🐕‍🦺 I have a large fenced in yard and friendly dogs, Adobo and Charley, that can keep your furry friend company with play or lounging. I can crate if needed.

“In my forty years of having dogs, Vanessa is the best dogsitter I have ever had. But to call Vanessa a dogsitter is not enough. She truly cared for my dogs, and by extension me: I did not have a single moment of worry or concern in my 6 days out of town, not with Vanessa caring for my dogs. I was lucky to find Vanessa. You would be lucky, too.”

About: Over 20 years of experience, including elderly dogs and puppies. I love dogs and enjoy walks, park visits, games and couch snuggles. I know how important it is that your fluffy family members are taken care with as much love and stability as possible when you are away. I currently have a 10 month old standard poodle and she is my whole world. I understand how important this job is! I am an artist and work part time at my home studio. My flexible work schedule allows plenty of time for dog walks, park visits, play, attention and engagement throughout the day. I have a fully fenced in yard and a very friendly (well socialized) 10 month old standard poodle who loves having friends to play with. Our home is 4,200 square feet with plenty of space for dogs to play and settle in. We also have the first floor entirely puppy proofed, making it safe for even the youngest of curious explorers.

About: I have had dogs of my own since I was 9 years old. I LOVE dogs--especially small ones! I have trained all of my dogs. I board friends' dogs in my home all the time, and am now excited to move into boarding strangers' dogs here on Rover! I work full-time, a mix of in-office and at home. I work from home on Thursdays and have flexibility on Fridays, so it works best for me to be able to provide boarding on long weekends (Thursday-Sunday). I am happy to provide your pet with seamless care and match what they are used to in your home. I have a large yard and a quiet neighborhood. My home has many rooms and I have some gates so that I can separate pets if needed. I also have a puppy play pen for smaller/younger pups who need their own space.

About: Friends and family have trusted me as a babysitter, pet sitter, plant sitter and house sitter from the time I was a young one myself. Their recommendations organically generated a steady word-of-mouth side business for me. At any given time, I'm often caring for someone's home, plants, pets, kids, or some combination of the above! I truly enjoy providing these types of services in addition to my other professional pursuits. My current schedule is pretty flexible, and I'm used to blocking out time every day to care for animals, plants, the home front, etc. As a dog owner myself, I'm familiar with the daily demands; however, I share the duties of my own dog with my partner, so I'm able to integrate other animals into this routine as needed. I know that matters of trust and safety are very important to parents, pet parents and home owners. For this reason, I try to be very adaptable in order to meet the individual standards and personal preferences of my clients.

About: I have two kitties at home that are my babies, I understand how difficult it can be to find a trustworthy caretaker. I am reliable and will treat your pets with the utmost care and respect! I currently work full time on a rotating 2-2-3 schedule so I have flexible weekday and weekend availability in the early morning, afternoons, and evenings. At home, I care for my two cats, I know how important it is to keep exit doors shut, keep harmful foods out of reach, and stick to a strict routine. I bring that exact same high level of alertness and respect into your home during drop-in visits. When we are out on walks, your pets will have my full, undivided attention. You can trust that I will strictly follow all of your specific instructions regarding locking up your house, leashing, commands, and food allergies to ensure your pet is safe.

“This chick is phenomenal! She has a great personality and is very engaged with animals. My German shepherd loves her and even gets to play in the water with her. Her communication skills are stellar. I received live updates and photos while at work. If you want someone reliable and dedicated to your fur babies, she is it. I HIGHLY recommend her! <3”

“Thank you Keusha!”

“Kat was great! She took the time to get to know Lily. She was punctual, great communication, and she sent pictures. I would use her again for sure.”

About: While I don't own a pet I lived with pets almost my whole life until buying a home for myself. While I wait until the right pet comes along in my life I'll happily care for yours! Living near the Hank Aaron Trail allows plenty of time for walks or runs around the neighborhood. If your pet isn't a fan of long walks or runs that's okay, too! Couch time is always something to look forward to with a friendly dog as well. Happy to follow any and all rules owners have while going the extra mile to make sure your pet feels cared for every day I take care of them. Look no further for someone to dedicate their time for your pet than my home. I work full time in the Milwaukee area but am usually not gone for longer than 8.5 or 9 hours at a time. I make time right away in the morning and immediately after work to care for any of the pets that I am watching. If your pet is active I'll happily take it out for runs around the trail or make time to play with it either in my yard or at the park near me. I will happily take the time to play with your pet outside or just let it roam around and do its business if that is what your pet prefers. There aren't many dogs in the area that are out and about to worry about. I don't have a pet of my own that you need to worry about your pet being comfortable with, either. I work full time Monday to Friday and am gone for 8.5-9 hours at most. I make time in the mornings and after work to take dogs out for walks and regular exercises as needed. My schedule typically revolves around the dog I’m watching. While sitting dogs I make them my priority and try to give them as much attention as they desire or you would at your home. There are parks and open fields nearby to play in and plenty of sidewalks to roam and get a leisurely walk in.

“Bella enjoyed her time with Carolyn. Carolyn kept me informed how Bella was doing when she stopped by to check on her and sent photos.”

About: I trained my own dog growing up and bought a beagle at the age of 22. At 30 I rescued another hound who loves his life. We take two walks daily and spend a few days a week at the dog park. Your dog will receive the same treatment! Morning walk. Lunch date in the yard. Afternoon walk or dog park. Potty breaks every two hours unless it's a Wednesday when I’m in the office. I live in a condo so I can't board right now. I do continue to offer walks, drop ins, and can dog sit at your home!

“Lily is wonderful! She is so accommodating and truly cares for our pups even though they can be a tad difficult! We truly appreciate her and the care she has when she watches or checks-in on our pups!”

“Amazing job! Definitely would recommend. Took great care of my animals and even went above and beyond and cleaned up after them.”
