“Kaitlyn did an amazing job taking care of our cats while we were away for a few days! We have three cats with different needs, so we provided detailed instructions—and she followed them all perfectly. She was prompt, reliable, and gave us updates after each visit, which we really appreciated. We’re so grateful for her help and the peace of mind she gave us while we were away. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to care for their fur babies!”

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.

“Amy was absolutely wonderful!! Our daughter was getting married in Elkhart Lake about an hour away from our home. There were some changes in the planning and schedule and Amy just rolled with it, including adding a second dog into the mix! Thank you for taking such good care of Riley!?❤️”

About: I’ve had animals, mostly dogs and cats since I was A child. Let me know what your fur baby needs! I’m happy to accommodate. I had a beagle with me for 15 years and he was on various medications as he aged so I know how to administer medications if needed. I work full time Monday through Friday from 8-4:30 but am happy to walk your pet before or after those hours! I am happy to provide whatever care they might need while you are away. I see pets as members of the family. I have 2 dogs...a terrier and a mini poodle. I love them to pieces and they run the house! Lol. They are well behaved and allowed on the furniture and the bed. Your fur babies would be too! I want them to be comfortable in my home. If I’m dropping in to take care of your fur baby in their home just let me know what I need to do for them and consider it done! I take my pups out every morning for a short walk, after work, and just before bed time. I feed them twice a day with occasional treats that they love mixed in :) I'm in an apartment so they will be leashed when we go outside. I live close to 3 different parks as well as the Menomonee River Parkway....lots of space to walk with them and let them sniff away!
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: Grew up an animal lover with multiple dogs and cats over the course of my life. Long story short, I have experience with puppy life, shelter life, low energy, high energy, etc. I just love animals and look forward to taking care of yours I work full time as a school counselor but understand what it takes to be a healthy dog owner. This means a walk in the morning before I leave, a walk when I get home after work, and depending on a lot of other factors maybe one late maybe not. On weekends I'm a a homebody which is why I signed up for this. I will get out of the house to walk my girl or take her on an adventure to the dog park, trail walk, etc. Otherwise I like just hanging out and playing video games. My girl has a crate in the family room but I also repurposed a spare bedroom into a doggy friendly room. I wasn't using it for any reason so figured why not make it dog friendly for my girl and others. I also have a fenced in yard that I can easily let her and other dogs out. It is big enough to be able to throw a ball around as well.
“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!”


About: Hi, my name is Abby! I am looking for a flexible summer job before I start full-time as an auditor in the fall, and I thought animal care would be a good match! I have had many pets throughout my life. There was always at least one dog and one cat at a time, usually many more. I have a deep, genuine care for all animals, and love to give them the love and attention they deserve! This summer I am studying for my CPA license! I have some vacations sprinkled in for the summer as well, but beside those and studying for a few hours a day, I will have plenty of time to take care of and play with your pets! I am available Mon-Fri, 8am-4pm, weekends and hourly exceptions available upon request! My complex unfortunately does not allow pets, so the caretaking would be happening in your home or neighborhood. I will be respectful of your house rules and rules for your pet. I will only be in your home when necessary. I will only use your pet's toys and harnesses as to not cross-contaminate with other pets. I will do my best to accommodate any other request as well.

About: I have been taking care of animals since I was little. We adopted my first dog when I was 9 years old, and now he is a senior dog that requires time, care and attention. I have experience with all ages of dogs and cats, and am dedicated to making your fur baby feel comfortable and happy. My goal is to make sure your cat or dog gets the best time and attention even when you are not home. I am currently working part-time at a yoga studio! I have plenty of time on the side to play with your pups or hangout with some cats! I have availability during the day M-F and Saturday mornings currently. I can be very flexible to accommodate your schedule to make sure your fur babies are taken care of. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, preferences, and any special needs to ensure they feel secure and cared for while you're away. Whether I'm caring for pets in my home or yours, I provide plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection while maintaining a clean and safe environment. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet in someone else's care, so I will keep you updated with messages and photos throughout my visits. As a psychology graduate with experience working in caregiving and support roles, I am patient, attentive, and committed to creating a positive experience for both pets and their owners.
“Christina is the best. Our 3 doggies remember her and are so happy when she comes. She takes the very very best care of our lil babies whenever we go away. We trust her completely.”


“Emma is great with our puppy Lenny! She has a flexible schedule and is able to drop in frequently throughout the week. She always send a picture or 2 which we love :) Thanks Emma!”

About: Having pets all my life has given me pet care knowledge and ability to care for pets of all ages and abilities. I have had cats, dogs, bunnies and fish (currently a single cat household) throughout the years. While in college I worked as a Vet Tech and did pet sitting for clients of the vet clinic. Your pets will be loved and cherished in your home or in mine. I provide all levels of service from dog walking, drop-in daily visits, boarding or medical care visits. Currently working full-time as a pet sitter/dog walker. Available all day for all levels of service from daily walks, drop-in and medical care visits and boarding. My home is a smoke-free, fenced in yard, single cat household in the Milwaukee/Wauwatosa area. Willing to travel to provide boarding services in your home if needed. Any location in the Milwaukee area and within 30 miles.

“Kelsey responds quickly. She sends photos and clear information about her visit. My pets are all comfortable with her! She is flexible and able to accommodate specific requests or preferences easily!”


“Jeremy was an amazing cat sitter! Both my cats were immediately comfortable and really grew to like Jeremy’s daily visits and play time. Super responsive and always sending lots of pics for me to check in on- it’s was such a relief to have them in Jeremy’s care. Highly recommend!!!”
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:) )
About: I've been caring for dogs since I was 9 and currently have my own dog. I pet sit for coworkers and friends when they go out of town. I've raised puppies as well as cared for senior dogs. I work from home 3 days a week. I am able to check in on or walk dogs on my lunch break. On weekends I am available, I can check in or walk any time of the day. I have experience with dog and cat behavior, including reactive dogs. When I check in on your pet I will ensure they have enough food and water, play with them, and if requested I will take dogs for a 30 minute or longer walk.
About: I am an experienced cat cuddler and cat mom who has strong caregiving skills from routine feedings and litter box scooping to giving elderly cats medications and subcutaneous fluids. I also enjoy simple feedings and light walks with dogs. I am returning to graduate school in the fall, and am looking to supplement my income. I will have quite a bit of flexibility, particularly in mornings and evenings for pet care. I am looking forward to pet care breaks from my studies. In your home, I will remember it is your pet's place. I will respect that. I will offer treats, food, water, change cats litter boxes, play with wand toys, and whatever else your pet enjoys. I will build a relationship with your pet.
Wauwatosa dog parents share their Rover experiences
Olivia took excellent care of our five-year old Akita, Maya, while we were away for a few days. She came to our house multiple times each day to feed, walk, and just hang out with Maya. This was the first time we ever travelled without taking Maya with us, so naturally we we were nervous. However, Olivia connected with Maya right away and put our concerns to rest. We highly recommend Olivia to anyone else who may be looking for a caring and responsible person to watch their dog.
Mallory is just the best honestly. My dog is my world and it was very difficult to go up north this year without her. There was so much incredible communication and photos with visit summary’s that made my heart melt. My elderly cat had a few accidents and without thought she cleaned it up and kept everyone loved while I was away. I would use her again in a heartbeat. I understand why she is a star sitter. She is extremely trustworthy with the lives and routines of your pets. <3

I’ve had a great experience with Ana! My dogs liked her immediately during our meet and greet, and I could tell she knew her way around bigger dogs. Communication was super straightforward and fast - she even asked how often I want updates, which I really appreciate. Ramses was very relaxed when I came home after Ana’s visit. I’ll definitely be booking her again!

Lexi was a very dependable dog sitter while we were away for the weekend. She was kind and patient with my doggie who can be a little lazy, she checked in on time and sent details and photos in a timely fashion. I felt that my doggo, Mama Zoe, was very safe with Lexi. Thank you, Lexi!

Cindy had been wonderful! She asked questions about Vladimir’s schedule, behaviors, even where he likes to sleep. She pays close attention to directions and details and is an excellent communicator! I feel very comfortable leaving Vladimir in her care. I know he will be loved on, cared for, and is safe. Vladimir loved her immediately and we’re lucky to have found her!

Cosmo was in really great shape. Emily gave lots of feedback, and really eased my concerns. Cosmo had Diarrhea when she started taking care of him, but Emily was very good at taking care of him, and he was fine when we got home. She was great at giving me updates.
