“Kristine was GREAT! She was very flexible since our schedule was very fluid. She accommodated us and Quincy loved being there. THANK YOU Kristine!! When we are in the area, we will use Kristine again. Rover always provides great doggie day care”
“Another wonderful visit for our Wilson with Mollie. He absolutely loves going to visit and always has so much with her, going on walks and playing with the other dogs. Mollie is a wonderful communicator, always easy to get in contact with and 100% honest and great to work with. It’s very comforting knowing Wilson has such a great person to be with when we are out of town, he gets so excited to go visit. Already makes plans for his next stay! Would 100% recommend!”
About: I have always had dogs and they have always been treated like a family member. I do not currently have any pets so your pet will be my priority. I am retired but work part time - mostly from home- so I will be with your pet full time. I will follow any instructions you provide about caring for your pet. I have a fenced yard and a very clean environment for your pet. Your pet will get all the attention it needs and I will treat your pet like he/she were my own.
“Having our dog stay with MJ has been a great experience! We recently adopted a dog with fairly severe separation anxiety, and I'm not sure how we would have made it through the first months without having someone like MJ to watch her during the day while we work on alone time training. He's always very communicative and flexible, and our dog just loves him. You couldn't ask for a better dog sitter!”
About: Hello! 🐶🐱 I have experience caring for all types of animals from a very young age. Over the years, I have cared for roosters, chickens, ducks, rabbits, dogs, kittens, and goats 🐔🦆🐰🐕🐈🐐. I truly enjoy spending time with animals playing with them, taking them on walks, and providing loving care such as bathing and daily attention. I began working professionally as a pet caregiver at the age of 20, offering my services to neighbors, friends, and family 🤍. I strongly believe that animals are incredibly intelligent, sensitive, and full of love. This work has given me many beautiful and meaningful experiences, all thanks to the wonderful pets that have come into my life 🐾✨ I recently arrived in the country and have been living in Milwaukee for a little over a year 🇺🇸🏙️ a beautiful city that I truly enjoy. I am currently looking for a part time job that allows me to balance my time between my studies and my work as a body piercing artist 💎✨. At the same time, I am seeking opportunities to do what I genuinely love and feel passionate about: caring for pets 🐶🐱. I enjoy walking them, providing attentive care, and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved 🐾💖. Working with animals brings me great joy, and I am committed to offering responsible, compassionate, and reliable care. I provide loving and attentive care both in my home and in my client’s home 🏡🐶. I live near a park, which allows me to take dogs on fun and safe walks, playtime, and exercise outdoors 🌳🦴. At home, I have a variety of toys and engaging activities to keep pets mentally stimulated and happy 🧸✨. I always follow each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and rest. My goal is to create a calm, safe, and loving environment where pets feel comfortable, cared for, and treated like family 🐾💖.
About: I’m a psychotherapist by day and am in general a very calm person. I pay attention to your pets moods and energy level and remember that during the time they’re playing with me, they’re missing you! So I treat them as if they were my own. I’m a psychotherapist by day and am in general very calm: I pay attention to your pet’s moods and energy level. I keep in mind that all the while your fur baby is with me, they’re missing you! I treat them as I do my own puppy. I have a fenced yard. (2) 1/2 hour walks a day: 2-4 hour potty breaks. Lots of play time with balls and curiosity toys !
“Mandi was great, I felt very comfortable with her watching Tito. She sent pictures and videos along the day to keep me updated and it worked out great. Thanks again!”
“Michelle took care of my very shy basset and he had a great time. He warmed up to her immediately and I was confident that they would do well together for the day. She sent several pictures of what they were doing over the course of the day. I am very pleased with Michelle and will definitely use her again.”
About: I’ve grown up with pets my entire life, and own 2 of my own dogs now. I am also a licensed foster parent through the WHS, as well as seasoned pet sitter. Both myself & my fur babies love other pets in our home, or I can stay at yours, if you’d prefer. I’m currently a grad student studying pediatric counseling. I am available most weekdays & on the weekends. I have a relatively flexible schedule & will adapt as last minute as I can to accommodate your beloved fur friend! I have a fenced in yard with two friendly pups who LOVE play dates! We are ready to welcome you into our home (and yard!) as an extension of our family! To us, animals are everything!
“Our 2 pups spent the day with Rebecca and Ryan and both of the dogs Kobi and Teddy came home happy and healthy. They must have had a good time because they both were ready to relax once they got home. We would definitely bring Ted and Kobi back to Rebecca and Ryan’s next time we need a Rover sitter. Thank you.”
About: I've had dogs since I was a kid, for as long as I can remember. I've had dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. My last dog was trained so well that friends and neighbors decided to get a dog for themselves after meeting him. Currently I have a 3 year old dog at home, along with my wife and 2 teenagers. We all love dogs because of the mutual unconditional love. I love taking dogs on walks, playing fetch with them in our small backyard and going to the dog park is a favorite activity for the whole family. Our dog is happiest when playing with other dogs and then getting so tired she can poop out on our couch while cuddling one of us. We have a small backyard but live in a very dog friendly neighborhood with sidewalks so when playing in the backyard isn't exercise enough long walks are great. I am familiar with giving dogs different medications and dealing with different dog personalities. I am an educator, so I am home for the summer, so our routine is flexible. I typically start the day with a morning walk by 7:00 am and then see where the day takes us. We take our last potty break around 10:00 pm before heading to bed. I have a fenced in backyard. I allow pets on our furniture. I do not have a crate, but I am comfortable crating dogs if that is what they are accustomed to. I have a dog and a cat at home. The cat mostly avoids dogs. I love dogs and they will be safe, loved, and taken good care of. There is usually always somebody at home to watch the pets, and we have a flexible schedule to accommodate to that.
“Amazing communication and pictures throughout. Soba had such a great time hanging out with Tracie and Penny! She was totally pooped from all the fun we had by the time we got home. Would definitely bring soba back without hesitation.”

Wauwatosa dog parents share their Rover experiences
We could not have asked for a better sitter. From the moment we picked up our dog, it was clear she was so well cared for and genuinely happy. We received great updates, and it gave us complete peace of mind knowing our dog was in such loving , attentive hands. You can tell she truly cares about the animals she watches. We are incredibly grateful and would absolutely book with her again without hesitation. Highly recommend!
It was our first time leaving champ With Zoe for a day. Zoe took very good care of him and his needs. She was very understanding of our pick up and drop off time change. When she had to step out, she reassured us that her husband would be home to keep him comfortable. She walked him and sent us an update. Highly recommend!
I can’t recommend Katie and Mike enough! I needed a sitter last minute, and they were incredibly responsive and accommodating. My dog is very timid when meeting new people, and she was clearly nervous when I first dropped her off. She spent most of the day with Mike, who was so patient and gentle with her. He kept me updated throughout the day with messages and photos, and it was great to see her getting more comfortable and relaxed as time went on. They’re a truly wonderful family, and I’m so grateful for the care and attention they gave my pup!
Sara and Caleb were so helpful with a last minute day care request!!! Responded very quickly and kept great communication throughout the day. I would definitely book with them again and recommend them to anyone worried about leaving their pups with new people. Thank you!!!!!
