“I really appreciated Elizabeth's willingness to do a meet and greet before the first walk. She was super patient and understanding with my anxious pup. Would recommend!”

About: I’ve had dogs all my life and I love having the privilege of making a difference in their lives! I guarantee your furbabies will get the top tier services from me and I will treat yours as my own❤️ I am very good with written directions and I can promise to always do my best with the care of your babies! I have rescued plenty of animals(mainly dogs, some cats as well) and I love to get to know the different personalities of each fur baby I encounter. I have also potty trained and given basic obedience training to puppies and adult rescues so I’m no stranger to positive reinforcement! DISCLAIMER: I do NOT professionally train animals, however I can give basic obedience training and potty training using positive reinforcement. I’m currently unemployed(I use odd jobs to cover any bills and basic expenses) so I’ll have plenty of time to spend with your pets! I’m almost always available and I am able to take last minute bookings as well! I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies! I offer dog walking(any hours as long as it is not above 79 degrees), drop in visits, dog/cat sitting in the clients home, dog park trips, and more!
About: I have the ability to go on plenty of walks. I have experience in dog sitting/walking my own dog numerous times while my parents were away. When my parents went on a trip to Italy, I spent a whole two weeks with my dog, Tucker. I took him to the park, many walks and played fetch with him everyday. I was diligent in making sure he had a good balance of playful activities and rest while supplying him with food and water. I am currently doing a part time job so I have all the availability that you need on weekends to help with your dog walking needs. I always keep my pets on a leash no matter what, and I am always cautious with other dogs and will walk the other way if I see other dogs approaching.
“Krystal has done a fantastic job taking our high-energy dog on walks. She’s prompt and shares details about how things went afterwards. She’s also been great about following any specific instructions or requests. I feel very confident leaving our dog in her care and highly recommend her.”

“Mary is great with our 10 month old Brittany! I’m impressed with her enthusiasm and she is a quick learner of his routines! She is helping us work on training which is so helpful. I would highly recommend Mary!”


“Amy is great with my pup. I met with her before she started walking Basil and immediately felt comfortable with how good she was with her. She has a flexible schedule and walks Basil during the work day a few days a week. Basil is young and full of energy and Amy is able to get out some of her energy while I am at work. She sends me photos and updates after each walk. I will definitely keep using her regularly and would recommend her to friends and family for their dogs!”

About: First and foremost, I’m a queer yoga teacher in the area and I haven’t used this account in least two years 😬 I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life. At four, my family started fostering cats (mamas and kittens were my faaaav) and I would help out as much as I could. Yes, I did try to name a kitten Washcloth. No, my mom did not let it stand. This love for animals carried forward throughout my youth with four cats, a German Shepard mix, a malamute, a boxer and pit. My house was always full and as the Aries eldest daughter that I am I always was the first to help out. I got a cat as soon as I could when I moved out on my own and about seven years ago I got a rescue pup of my own. I also have a Rottweiler who I helped raise and train from 7 weeks old. I dedicated so much time to gently training both of them and just pouring love into them. I can definitely help with training and love working with dogs on walking well on leash. I also really believe in positive reinforcement for your pets - they just want to make us proud. Truly a universal desire. I love long walks with dogs and lots of coregulation calm time. Trust that your babies will be treated like they are family. I am a yoga teacher and teach about 10 classes per week. Other than that I work remotely from my computer, so I can flex my time. I really value a slow paced life, so being able to really take my time and go for walks/hikes, cooking a gourmet dinner at home for myself and cuddling up with a good book. I have always been a very regimented, schedule following pet owner. I think it helps create consistency and eases anxiety for animals. Routines help animals thrive. I think frequent bathroom breaks are important. Long walks early in the day before the world is busy and it gets too hot in the summer are a priority. I also really love snuggling up and just having quiet, calm time with pets. I am happy to follow whatever guidelines/special requests pet parents have. I know how important it is to keep things consistent for pets! There’s never any judgement from me!
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.

I understand the importance of routine and communication, ensuring your furry friend feels safe and loved while you're away. Trust me to care for you pet like they're my own! I currently work full-time as a pet sitter so I am completely available for your pets' care! My dog, Phil, is a senior Maltese mix and gets along great with any kind of animal. If your dog does not socialize well with others, please let me know. I have several sitters I can call at a moment's notice to watch Phil. When caring for pets in your home, I prioritize their safety, comfort, and happiness. I follow your instructions closely to maintain their routine and ensure they feel secure in their environment.

About: As a pet owner myself I truly understand they are part of your family and treat them as such! I have been taking care of cats and dogs for friends, family and neighbors for many years. I have a very flexible work schedule that allows me to head out on a walk with your pup or check in on your cat I am very organized and reliable. I will keep to the routine given and always have you and your pets best interest in mind when they are in my care

About: I am a true animal lover at heart! My family always owned dogs growing up, I adopted my own, Bear, in 2017 and my cat Luna (aka Tuna) in 2021. After recently losing Bear unexpectedly, I’m hoping to help heal my heart and get some puppy love by offering walks and drop-in visits to your babies! Prior to adopting Luna, I offered in-home boarding for many years through Rover. Unfortunately she’s not a fan of having other dogs around, otherwise we’d still be offering that service. I also worked at a doggy daycare during college because I loved dogs so much, and I wanted to spend time with them even though I couldn't get one at the time. This obviously provided me with lots of experience in handling multiple dogs! I promise to love your furbaby like my own and provide lots of pictures and updates :) I work remotely on Monday/Thursday/Friday so I’m available for drop-ins or walks during the workday! Would love to arrange regular services over lunch time. As some who believes that pets are family, I promise to do everything in my power to keep your pets safe under my care. When I have hired Rover services myself, I love to receive lots of pictures and updates from my sitters, so I promise to do the same for you!
“Monsserath does great with my shy and anxious dog. She is very patient and understanding and has so much love to give my pup. She is super reliable and I can tell looks forward to seeing my pup every week! I am so lucky to have connected with her and look forward to working with her again in the future.”

“Melainie is so great with our chihuahua mix, Bowser. Bowser is a great judge of character and is very selective with who he will allow to rub his belly and he loved Melainie the second he met her!”


About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. I’ve been caring for pets for around 7 years and have experience with dogs, cats, and reptiles. I’m patient, dependable, and pay attention to each pet’s routine and personality. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company, I’ll make sure your pet gets the love and care they deserve like they’re my own. I work from home full-time, so I have a flexible schedule and can give your pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I don’t go out often, but I enjoy taking walks, going on jogs, and spending time in my backyard with my own pets. Since I’m home most of the time, your fur baby won’t be left alone for long and will get lots of love, care, and attention. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow your pet’s routine and any special instructions you provide. I keep a clean, calm, and pet-friendly environment and make sure pets always have fresh water, attention, and a safe place to relax. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, I’ll treat them like one of my own and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind.
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!
“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!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Wauwatosa
We had to be away on a trip longer than we wanted to be, but our sweet Willow pup and three cats were in the BEST hands with Mallory. We got such awesome updates with photos and fun summaries of their adventures/walks. This was our second time with Mallory and she put us at such ease being far from home. We are all so blessed for her heart of gold and her priceless time. 🙏

Olivia is absolutely amazing! She walked our dog Rumi for a week and made us feel completely at ease. She’s incredibly reliable, prompt and communicative, sending lots of updates and pictures. She went above and beyond, taking him on great long walks (rain or shine!) and even wiping his paws after it rained. Rumi loved his midday sniffing breaks and we loved how trustworthy she is. Highly recommend and we’ll definitely use her again!

Kelsey is the best! She was responsive from the moment I reached out and took the time to learn all of our dogs quirks. Our dog can be a bit reactive, but she already had experience with that, which was incredibly reassuring while we were away. She was patient and great with him, and we came home to a well loved and tired boy. Highly recommend!

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Wauwatosa. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Wauwatosa.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every walker on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .

- 92% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
