About: I have had experience caring for many different kinds of animals throughout my life, such as dogs, horses, guinea pigs, and fish. I am comfortable and confident with walking, feeding, bathing, etc. I am a full-time grad student, and I also work a part-time job. My schedule is a little different each weekday, sometimes with breaks in the middle of the day. I am available all day on the weekends. I do not currently care for any pets in my home. I am not currently accepting jobs that require a pet to stay in my home.
“Hanna did a wonderful job taking care of my two cats while I was away on vacation! She was prompt, communicated very well, and sent lots of photos. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”
“Jessica cared for our dog and cat (drop-in visits) while we were away for a week. Very reliable, communicative, and sweet with our pets. House was as we left it, pets were healthy and happy upon our return. We’ve already booked Jessica for our next vacation. Highly recommend!”
About: I’m a caring and responsible pet sitter with experience taking care of 3 dogs and 5 cats. I’m comfortable providing pets with attention, companionship, feeding, walks, and the care they need to feel safe and happy. I truly enjoy spending time with animals I have a flexible schedule and can make time for pet care, including walks, feeding, playtime, and giving pets the attention and companionship they need. I follow each pet’s routine, provide food, fresh water, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention while keeping them safe, comfortable, happy, and cared for.
“Jessica took great care of my cat! It was clear from the daily cards that my cat warmed up to her quickly, and they spent good quality time snuggling and playing together.”
About: I’ve had dogs ever since I was born: a black lab and then two beagles! It was often my responsibility to care for them until my parents got home and we’ve pet sit ourselves before too. I love dogs, so I’d love to help anyone out who has one! I reserve my bookings just for weekends, as I’m busy pretty much all day and night throughout the week! I keep myself very busy! I would love to check in on your pet during the weekends though! It would be my pleasure! I always make sure that the pets are well attended to and that they are my priority. They will always have the appropriate food and attention necessary for them.
“Anna was wonderful - she took plenty of photos of our cat, gave great updates, and even stayed with our pet while she studied. She left everything in perfect shape. I really appreciate her!”
About: I’ve been caring for pets for the past 13 years, starting with walking my neighbors’ dogs multiple times a week and stopping by to let them out when their owners were away overnight. Since then, animal care has been a constant part of my life. I’ve helped care for my own dogs in every way—from off-leash walks and swimming to bathing and attending vet appointments. My family and I have also fostered dogs ranging from 8-week-old puppies to senior pups, giving me experience with dogs of all ages and needs. In addition to dogs and cats, I have extensive experience working with horses. I also have a laid-back tabby cat of my own who’s more like a dog than a cat. I’m a huge animal lover and always care for pets as if they were my own—providing the same attention, patience, and love I’d want someone to give my animals. I’m currently a full-time student at UWM, but I have a very flexible schedule. I attend classes three days a week, and most of my coursework can be done on my laptop. This allows me to spend plenty of quality time with your pet throughout the day and easily accommodate feedings, walks, playtime, and check-ins. I care for every pet as if they were my own. I understand that for most people, pets are family, and I treat them with the same love, respect, and attention I give my own animals. When I’m caring for pets , I prioritize their safety, comfort, and routines so they feel secure and well cared for at all times.
About: I am a animal lover and previous pet owner. I have experience caring for cats, dogs, birds, fish, rodents, you name it!. I have worked with many animals and am comfortable grooming, walking, feeding, playing with and caring for your pets. I have been a volunteer and youth leader with Safe Humane Chicago and have participated in many of their programs. I think every pet I’ve met has shown me how to be more patient and kind.I have seen how owners truly care about their pets and his or her safety and that shows me just how much they love them as an important part of their family. If you are interested I would love to hear from you and am available via text or phone call Thanks, -Hannah
About: I have been passionate about animals, big and small, my entire life! I have volunteered at humane societies, fostered animals in need, cared for the pets of family members and friends, interned at AZA-accredited zoos, and worked at wildlife sanctuaries. Currently I am a full-time licensed wildlife rehabilitator caring for injured and orphaned Wisconsin wildlife with the goal of releasing them back into the wild, but I have previously worked with a variety of domestic animals both in my personal and in my professional life. I am well versed in animal behavior, body language, and positive reinforcement. I promise to treat (and spoil) your pets like they are my own! At the moment I have 3 sweet cats, a high-energy dog, a mischievous chinchilla, and a gentleman of a ball python! Please do not hesitate to reach out and get to know me more! I currently work 4 days of the week at my full time job so I am only available select days. I am eager to spend time with your pets, however, so if my schedule shows I am unavailable, please reach out anyway as I try to be as flexible as possible! It is extremely important to me to use Fear Free tactics when interacting with any animal. Gaining the trust of you and your pet are my top priority!
About: I’ve had a dog for 20+ years. Would love to walk or hang with your pup in the evenings or on weekends - any size and breed. I’m available for walks of all lengths most evenings an/or weekends. If your pup prefers playtime over walking, I would love to play fetch, go to the dog park, or any other activity that your pup enjoys. I am willing to walk any length that the pup prefers and can accommodate walks of slow or fast cadences. Happy to walk, hang out with, or play with pups of any age or size.
About: I helped raise my own two family dogs and ensured that they were always walked, bathed, fed, and happy. It's also a habit of mine to go take the extra step like wiping my dogs and make sure they are clean after they've been outside. I've also taken care of my neighbor's dogs alongside our own family dogs, so I have experience handling multiple pets at once. I work full-time, Monday through Friday, while working from home 2-3 days a week. I also go to workout classes in the evening. Normally, if working from home, I take the dogs out for a walk in the morning. On other days, I take them for a walk in the evening. I normally take pets out 3 times a day, once in the morning, afternoon, and night. I make sure the dogs have a dedicated spot for food and bed. I have both a park and a dog park, 5-10 minutes away from my apartment, which I can take the pets to for a walk or some dog play time. There are also multiple yard-like grass areas where the dogs are meant to do their business. If pets stay with me for longer than two weeks, I bathe them every other week.
About: I can make sure your dog is staying active and feeling loved while you are away and that your cat is getting enrichment and playtime. I have been watching family and friend's dogs and cats for a couple years and have never had any problems. I will uphold whatever standards you set for your dog if you do not allow it on the bed or furniture, neither will I. I can take care of your pets on weekdays and weekends. Weekdays I’m happy to go for early morning walks prior to work and an evening walk or exercise before or after work as well I will give them lots of love and attention while following the same rules and training techniques that you set for them in your own home.
About: 20+ years experience caring for dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and breeds! Professional, punctual, caring, and fun! My services are especially catered to meet your pets needs. Experienced with administering medications and older aged animals as well. Daily pics and report will be provided to owners each day you are away! Enrichment, toys, and treats are supplied. I look forward to working with your furbabies! I'm currently doing this full-time time so I will have plenty of time to play with your pups! I'm also available weekends and holidays. 🐶❤️ I have no kids or pets. Your pet will be pampered and treated as one of my very own! As well as receiving 1:1 attention and lots of TLC. Dogs are allowed on the furniture and bed. Snuggles are welcome.
“Auria was a competent, caring, and thoughtful dog sitter. She sent us numerous pictures and detailed updates as to how Lily was doing. I would highly recommend her and have already booked another stay! We truly felt as though Lily was in excellent hands.”

Ana gave excellent care to our dog while we were away! She was timely and sent detailed reports and pictures each time she dropped in to take care of our dog. She also gave our dog lots of attention and snuggles! I would highly recommend her for any of her services!
Bria B was exceptional, flexible and amazingly attentive to our dog, Lenny Bruce, and senior cat, Sam. She stayed extra and checked in multiple times when Lenny Bruce was struggling with a thunderstorm. We are so appreciative for her visits and would definitely rebook her for future visits.
Linda was able to come visit my puppy very last minute and I appreciate her availability. She answered promptly to my questions and kept me updated during the visit. I was nervous as this was my first time using Rover, but she was very kind and understanding.
Angela took wonderful care of Elliott during her twice-daily visits. She showed tremendous patience with him and let him warm up to her at his own pace. By her final visit, he allowed her to pet him and take him into the yard—a big accomplishment! She also thoughtfully handled a few extra details around the house. I truly appreciated her reliable and compassionate care. I highly recommend.
Lisa is the best, my dog is a little quirky and does not warm up to new people easily and he let her clean and wrap a wound he got on his leg and let her hand feed him! She went above and beyond in every possible way and I could not have asked for a kinder and more competent sitter for Arrow! Highly recommend!! ❤️
We had a great experience with Travis, and will absolutely book with him again. He was responsive, easy to communicate with, and kept us updated while we were away. Our dogs were happy, healthy, and well cared for when we returned, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.
Jessica was great with my German shepherd, my dog has been going through some health issues and when I went out of town for 4 days I needed someone to come take care of her 3 times a day and mix up her special food, take her for walks and monitor her potty breaks. Jessica was also super flexible with the timing of her visits and made this potentially stressful time super easy for me and my dog. 5 stars. Would reccomend her to anyone.

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.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Whitefish Bay choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .

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 Meet & Greet .
