“Angel and Little Man always have a great time. Easy scheduling, great response times, and my pups are exhausted from playing when they get home. Thanks !”

“Wallen had such a good time ! He really enjoyed being with Zachary! They bonded instantly. He sent us pictures and updates. Its been over a year since wallen has been boarded and it’s always nice knowing your bay is so well taken care of”
“When you see all these reviews of Angela and think “there’s no way that can be true”. Trust me it is true. Angela was so amazing with my dog. This is our first time leaving her for this long and I could not have felt like she was in better hands. not only did I get enough picture updates, Angela was so kind and amazing to work with. her husband and her two kids were just all amazing people. Matter of fact, when I came to pick up my dog, I already asked her about future days so I would need a sitter for. If you’re wondering about a sitter who will keep your baby safe at home and who’s just a wonderful, genuine person, look no further than Angela.”

“Becky is the perfect boarder! She is very communicative and makes sure all our questions are answered. Our puppy loved her first stay!

She was alao very accommodating to our late night pick up with flight delays”

About: I’ve always been a caretaker whether it be with kids or animals! I’ve also had cats of my own for 11 years and a dog for 3 years. My dog loves making friends, so he would enjoy having other dogs at our house or having dogs join us on our daily walks. I’d love to care for your pets or be your reliable dog walker. I am a teacher, so my evenings and weekends are available for pet care during the school year. However, in the summer, I also have morning availability. I am very neat and respectful in other people’s homes. I’d give your fur baby/ babies lots of love and care, but I’d leave your home looking like you did when you left! In our house, our dog is well loved and has a fenced in backyard to run and play in. He loves having dog friends over to play!
“April and Brad were excellent dog sitters - besides daily photos, they even sent us a video! Upon learning that we were staying at a hotel near his work, Brad also delivered Shayna to us, saving us a trip to their house. I would definitely recommend them highly and will use them again.”
About: I have had a deep compassion for all animals my whole life, wanting nothing more but for them to be happy. When your furry family members are with me, safety and entertainment will be of top priority. Giving love is second nature to me and I will be at full attention with your dog. Fun and exercise with plenty of fresh air guaranteed! I have specific walking routes to know where your pet will always be at all times , and communication will be as frequently as desired. Pictures will be posted regularly. Part of how I reach maximum comfortability for your dog is by using famiar language (commands) and learning it's habits and rituals. Everything has a personality and I try hard to learn what your dogs is like. Last but not least, I am all breed friendly!
“We had a great experience with Kimberly. She was incredibly kind, patient, and attentive to our puppy. She was very responsive to messages. We could tell our puppy was well cared for and loved. We will definitely book with her again.”
Wauwatosa pet parents share their Rover experiences
We could not have asked for a better experience with Maggie. From the very beginning, it was clear how much she genuinely loves and cares for animals. Before our stay, she reached out to learn all about our dog, Daisy, asking thoughtful questions to make sure Daisy would feel comfortable, safe, and at home. Throughout Daisy's stay, Maggie was incredibly caring, patient, and attentive. She kept us updated with messages and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. It was obvious that Daisy was being treated with kindness, affection, and individualized attention. What truly set Maggie apart was the warmth and genuine love she showed—not just to Daisy, but to us as well. When we picked Daisy up, Maggie gave us the sweetest card expressing how appreciative and honored she was to care for our pup. That thoughtful gesture meant so much and perfectly reflects the kind of person she is. Maggie was also very flexible with drop-off and pickup times, making the entire experience stress-free. Daisy absolutely adored her, and we knew she was in wonderful hands. Without a doubt, Maggie is the best dog sitter we've ever had. We will definitely be using her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and truly dedicated to the pets in her care. Daisy has found her perfect sitter!
Tracie was wonderfully attentive and great with our pup! We’ll definitely be booking again in the future. Great communication, and respectful of our dog’s needs. Our dog can be a bit leash reactive, but Tracie was mindful to introduce her carefully to her own pets and make sure our dog was comfortable. Thank you, Tracie!!
Sarah and her family provided constant updates of my dog throughout the week. Her daughters seemed really engaged and loving on my dog, making me feel confident she was receiving all the love and affection she gets at home. When I picked her up, my dog seemed so relaxed, almost as if she hadn’t been gone all that time, helping me feel confident she was safe and loved on. Usually after boarding in a facility, my dog is highly anxious, extra agitated and disheveled. None of that here with Sarah. Her and her family were truly the best sitters. I never worried once while away.
I was a little bit nervous with this being the first time I used Rover for boarding. However, thanks to Chelsea all those nerves have been put to rest. Chelsea listened to everything I said about boarding my dog and wrote it all down. She was constantly in communication with me and provided me with picture updates as well. I highly recommend!
