“Katelynn was very informative and kept us updated on the cats possible separation anxiety. She was flexible when we wanted to add visits the last minute. We really appreciated the above and beyond care taken for our home and fur babies.”
“Nicole was excellent! When she came for the meet and greet, she asked excellent questions to really get to know our girls and set expectations. She was calm and let our girls come to her. Then, when she came for the visit, she took excellent care of our kitties and was able to pill our calico successfully! Throughout the whole experience she communicated super well, which is something that we value. We will absolutely recommend and rebook!! Thanks Nicole!”
About: I’ve had dogs as part of the family my entire life. I was the trainer of of all our puppies while I was growing up. Now I have two dogs, one with special needs and the other that needs extensive training with reactivity. I can manage medications, reactive walkers, as well as give as many belly rubs and head scritches as needed! I have cared for dogs from puppy to senior. I currently have a remote job that has a lot of flexibility. My schedule does vary and is rather accommodating. I will have my calendar updated accordingly for availability. At this time I will only be providing services at your home since I do have a reactive pup at mine. Also due to that, I will be only providing drop ins and walks.
“Brooke watched my cat Douglas while we were out of town and she did an excellent job!! She provided detailed reports of he was doing and took lots of pictures. She cuddled and played with him every visit and followed the feeding instructions we gave her perfectly. It was such a relief knowing Douglas was in great hands 😊 definitely will be utilizing her services again!!”
“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”
“Lilly was amazing with our two cats while we were gone for a week! Both of our girls absolutely loved her (even our shy kitty) and warmed up to her instantly. She is very communicative and goes above and beyond. Do yourself a favor and hire her! ?”

“Angela was amazing! We have two cats, one of which is quite afraid of new people and hides under the couch. Angela was able to draw him out and earn his trust very quickly, which meant we could relax on vacation without worrying that he was spending an extended period of time with no snuggling, petting, or playing (which has happened in the past with other sitters). We were thrilled!”

About: I've been around cats and dogs for most of my life and genuinely love spending time with animals. I'm comfortable caring for energetic dogs who need plenty of exercise as well as shy or independent cats who prefer a gentler approach. My goal is always to make pets feel happy, safe, and cared for while giving owners peace of mind. As a graduate student with a flexible schedule, I'm able to offer reliable pet care throughout the week.

I provide care in your pet's familiar home environment, where they can maintain their normal routine and feel most at ease. Because I have a cat of my own, I do not offer boarding in my home. This allows me to ensure the safety and well-being of both your pets and mine. I am committed to following your pet's care instructions, maintaining a clean and secure environment, and providing dependable communication throughout each visit so you can have peace of mind while you're away.
About: Growing up in a two dog household and volunteering at our local humane society, I was constantly surrounded by dogs and animals as a child. Into adulthood, I have years of experience with puppies, elderly dogs, and many personalities as I professionally dog walked for Gentle Hearts in Denver, and foster cared for the Montana Humane Society while constantly dog sitting for friends and family. Professional past includes house training the pups, feeding, walk training, lots of playing, and constant daily routine! I have cared for elderly dogs with medication care, carrying them outside, hand feeding and bathing. I have a deep belief in positive reinforcement training, and highly discourage using force or fear when caring for a dog. I believe in using treats, playtime and outside zoomies as a reward for good behavior. The importance of a dog feeling safe, loved, and positively trained is my priority! I have caring experience with animals from hamsters to lizards, to kitties, birds and farm animals (I volunteered on farms caring for sheep, cows, and horses!) I have one eight year old dog of my own currently, after our fourteen year old dog just recently passed away. We miss him dearly and hold him in our hearts every single day. I truly have been surrounded and cared for dogs and pets my whole life, and can’t wait to assist in caring for yours! I currently am available to dog walk and pet-sit on Monday until 4 pm, Tuesdays until 4 pm, and Fridays until 4 pm. I work in the service industry as a server and bartender, and tend to be busier at night. I am unavailable on Saturdays as I work doubles at the restaurant. I believe in positive reinforcement training, by giving treats, pets and playtime as a reward. I am capable of walking small to extra large dogs, with much experience from pups to elderly. I believe in three walks a day for a healthy dog, and will typically take your pet on a 30-60 minute walk if they are healthy and able!

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Wauwatosa
Alyssa was fantastic! She watched our two cats for 7 days while we vacationed in the mountains. She was very thorough with gathering information before the visits, and provided lots of excellent photos and detailed updates. We can tell that she put a lot of effort into caring for our cats, whether that's regular brushing or playing with toys. Not everyone in the past has done those extra steps, and it's really appreciated. Our cats seemed seemed very happy when we returned. We'll definitely reach out to her for future help and recommend her to others.

House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone.
