“Leandrea takes great care of my two kitties and leaves my home in perfect condition! She’s responsive, kind, and I completely trust her with my animals. Highly recommend!”

About: I have had dogs of my own since I was 9 years old. I LOVE dogs--especially small ones! I have trained all of my dogs. I board friends' dogs in my home all the time, and am now excited to move into boarding strangers' dogs here on Rover! I work full-time, a mix of in-office and at home. I work from home on Thursdays and have flexibility on Fridays, so it works best for me to be able to provide boarding on long weekends (Thursday-Sunday). I am happy to provide your pet with seamless care and match what they are used to in your home. I have a large yard and a quiet neighborhood. My home has many rooms and I have some gates so that I can separate pets if needed. I also have a puppy play pen for smaller/younger pups who need their own space.
About: I grew up with both cats and dogs, have two spoiled cats of my own, and spend some of my free time volunteering with cats at a local animal shelter. As a pet owner myself, I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, snuggles, or just having a friendly human around, I’ll do my best to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I also provide plenty of updates and photos because I always want a million photos of my cats when I’m away from them! I have a flexible schedule that allows me to prioritize visits, walks (for dogs), and drop-ins without rushing. I’m able to plan my day around pet care commitments and make sure each animal gets consistent attention, care, and reliability. As I currently have two cats of my own, feeding, playtime, litter box care, and general check-ins are already part of my daily rhythm. On top of that, I volunteer at an animal shelter, which keeps me regularly engaged with different cats and their needs. I provide care in my client’s home through drop-in visits and/or walks, depending on the pet’s needs. I always follow the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible to keep them comfortable and stress free while their owner is away. During visits, I handle feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, and any medication needs if instructed. I also make sure each pet gets attention and companionship based on their personality, whether that’s active play or quiet company. I treat every home with respect, keep things clean and tidy, and always prioritize safety, consistency, and clear communication with pet parents through updates and photos.
“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”
“Courtney was absolutely wonderful! She watched my cat Blue while I was gone and sent loads of adorable pictures and videos daily and kept me updated on how Blue was doing. She took the extra time to play with him and brush him, and handled giving him his ear drops and medication fantastically!! I definitely recommend Courtney and look forward to continuing to work with her for all my pet sitting needs :)”
About: While I don't own a pet I lived with pets almost my whole life until buying a home for myself. While I wait until the right pet comes along in my life I'll happily care for yours! Living near the Hank Aaron Trail allows plenty of time for walks or runs around the neighborhood. If your pet isn't a fan of long walks or runs that's okay, too! Couch time is always something to look forward to with a friendly dog as well. Happy to follow any and all rules owners have while going the extra mile to make sure your pet feels cared for every day I take care of them. Look no further for someone to dedicate their time for your pet than my home. I work full time in the Milwaukee area but am usually not gone for longer than 8.5 or 9 hours at a time. I make time right away in the morning and immediately after work to care for any of the pets that I am watching. If your pet is active I'll happily take it out for runs around the trail or make time to play with it either in my yard or at the park near me. I will happily take the time to play with your pet outside or just let it roam around and do its business if that is what your pet prefers. There aren't many dogs in the area that are out and about to worry about. I don't have a pet of my own that you need to worry about your pet being comfortable with, either. I work full time Monday to Friday and am gone for 8.5-9 hours at most. I make time in the mornings and after work to take dogs out for walks and regular exercises as needed. My schedule typically revolves around the dog I’m watching. While sitting dogs I make them my priority and try to give them as much attention as they desire or you would at your home. There are parks and open fields nearby to play in and plenty of sidewalks to roam and get a leisurely walk in.
About: I work primarily from home, outside of home for just a few hours a couple days a week. I love, love love dogs! have two fur babies right now, 11 years old and quite friendly. They have a mild temperament and enjoy playing with other dogs although they have slowed down in the past few years. I've had dogs my entire life with my first dog was given to me by my father when I was 3 years old and I can't recall a long span of time where I didn't have a dog. That is except a 4 year period after my fur baby Misha passed away 20 years ago. I play with my girls daily, give them massages, brush them and just make sure they get enough attention throughout the day. We go for short walks also...they are small so they don't make it too far without tiring out. They do enjoy the dog parks occasionally.
About: I have owned and cared for dogs my whole life, giving me years of practical experience with feeding, exercising, and basic leash etiquette. Responsible, punctual, and attentive to special instructions or temperaments. Excited to give your dog the attentive care and company they deserve! I am currently a student at Marquette University. With that being said, I have consistent availability in the afternoons on weekdays. I also have weekends open regularly. I am able to meet whatever the needs of your pet are. I have raised dogs from two months up until the age of 17. Whether it be crate training, diet restrictions, or potty training, I have experience in all.
About: I am a zookeeper so I absolutely love animals! I’ve had pets my whole life. Currently I have a fish. Just recently my cat passed away, and my dog passed away 2.5 years ago. I’m looking to help others out by watching and taking care of their fur children. I am good at walking, basic training, medicating and snuggling with pets. Most of my experience is watching pets of friends and family. Willing to care for dogs, cats, birds, fish and some other critters. I work 8-5 on a rotating schedule, meaning my off days change weekly. I can check in on pets before and after work and also before bed. I am also willing to stay with pets at your home so they feel secure and someone is with them in the evening and morning. I am free most evenings. I am willing to house sit/pet sit at my client’s house. I will follow routine and instructions for pet care, feeding and walking schedules, and clean up. I am also willing to do house checks to feed, medicate and let out pets for bathroom breaks.
About: I am a dedicated pet caregiver committed to keeping your furry friend happy, healthy, and safe. I will strictly follow your pet's specific daily feeding and medication schedules to maintain their comforting routine. As an experienced and enthusiastic walker, I ensure they get plenty of exercise, fresh air, and fun outdoor adventures. Your pet will receive attentive, loving care and the absolute highest quality companionship every single day. I am a teacher so my schedule during the weekdays are from 8am-4pm. On the weekends I’m available all day. Feel welcome to send me a message! I will always follow the instructions that the pet owner gives me. Hiring me your pet will always be fed on schedule, enjoy play time, and treats. Every home I visit will be respected and well taken care of.
About: Having an energetic 7-year-old Australian Shepherd like my dog Roman means staying active is just a daily way of life for me. I know firsthand what it takes to give high-energy dogs the exercise, attention, and mental engagement they need to thrive. I also have deep experience with cats, including senior and specialized care, I recently lost my beloved 17-year-old diabetic cat, so I’m very comfortable with gentle handling and strict routines. Plus, I have a big soft spot for birds! As a pet parent, I completely understand the peace of mind that comes with finding someone reliable, trusting, and flexible to look after your animals. Whether your dog needs a fast-paced walk to burn off steam, your cat needs special care/cuddles, or your bird needs an attentive check-in, I care for every pet as thoughtfully as I do my own. I’m based in the Wauwatosa and Milwaukee area and am available most afternoons after 1:30 PM, evenings, and weekends. I’d love to connect, hear about your pet’s routine, and see how I can help make your schedule easier! As a fitness coach, my schedule gives me great daily flexibility. I'm available most weekdays after 1:30 PM, as well as on weekends. Living in the Midwest, weather never stops me. I get outside and active no matter what! I can take your dog on a solo walk, bring my dog Roman along if yours wants a buddy, or simply drop in for quiet time and plenty of pets. Pet care naturally fits right into my daily routine. When caring for pets in your home, my primary focus is maintaining their familiar routine so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their own space. I respect your home, stay in close communication with regular updates and photos, and ensure your pet receives plenty of quality attention, affection, and playtime while you’re away.
“Chelsea has been an excellent sitter for my two cats, Sebastian and Harper. Shes detail-oriented and very communicative (also sends pictures). I could tell that when I came home, they were comfortable in her care.”
About: I’ve been a dog lover my whole life 🐶🤍 I grew up with both a Golden Retriever and a Yorkie, so I’ve had experience with very different personalities, sizes, and energy levels! I’ve cared for an older dog who needed a little extra patience and gentleness, as well as a younger, energetic pup who was always ready to play. I’ve also fostered dogs through a local humane society, which has given me even more experience getting to know new dogs, helping them feel comfortable, and giving them lots of love and attention while they’re in my care. 🐾 I know how much pets mean to their people, so I’ll always treat your pup like they’re part of the family — whether we’re going for a walk, taking a potty break, playing for a bit, or just getting some extra love while you’re away! 💕 As a teacher, I have a pretty consistent schedule, which makes it easy for me to plan pet care into my routine! 🍎🐾 I’m available after 4:00 PM on weekdays for walks and drop-in visits, and I have much more flexibility on weekends. I love having something active and fun to look forward to after the school day, and spending time with dogs is the perfect way to unwind. Whether your pup needs an evening walk, a potty break, some playtime, or a little extra attention, I’d be happy to help! 💕 I’ll always care for your pet in a way that follows their normal routine and your specific instructions! 🐾 During drop-ins, I can take them outside for potty breaks, refresh their water, play with them, give treats or meals if needed, and make sure they get plenty of love and attention. I’m also happy to crate your pup after a visit if that’s part of their usual routine. For walks, I’ll make sure your dog is securely leashed and keep a close eye on their surroundings so they stay safe and comfortable. I know every pet is different, so I’m happy to adjust to whatever makes your pup feel happiest and most at ease! 💕
“What can l say? Travis was absolutely wonderful and very attentive to my 4 fur children. I felt completely comfortable leaving them in his care and they took right to him, although it always takes a while for Chance. He’s just special 😁. I would definitely book with Travis again and l have a trip coming up real soon!!! Thank you Travis! SN: he even washed their dishes for me!!!”
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - West Milwaukee
Stephany was a lifesaver during my six-week trip abroad. She walked Cloud every morning, played with him, and kept in touch beyond the app updates with texts and videos, so I always knew how he was doing. When a cyst between his toes flared up, she carefully followed my care instructions, took him to the vet when it didn't improve, and managed his medication exactly as prescribed. Reliable, caring, and a fantastic communicator. Highly recommend!
Mary was great while I was out of state. I have 1 finicky cat and 1 territorial and aggressive cat. She was patient and attentive to both and I felt (and saw) that they were in great hands. Communication was awesome! Instructions were followed 100%. I would definitely rebook.
Vanessa was AMAZING to have to watch my cat Dexter, while I was out of the country for 2 weeks. He tends to not come out for people he doesn’t know and he came out the very first day and everyday after that, which is a huge things for him. Getting the daily food, water, bowel updates with photos of him made me feel a lot more at ease with leaving him. I highly recommend her for anyone’s pet needs, I will be using her again in the future!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter 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 .
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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
