“Melissa was great - she came on short notice and took our two dogs out for a nice long walk. One of our dogs is very reactive and in behavioral training and Melissa was very patient with the instructions and got them home safe and tuckered out even after a wild turkey encounter. 5 stars!”
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have always loved caring for them. I have experience with dogs of different breeds, sizes, and personalities, and I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, and giving them lots of attention. I’m reliable, patient, and will always treat your pets like they’re my own. I also have pets of my own, so I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for them! I have a pretty flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, playtime, and pet sitting. I’m available on both weekdays and weekends and am happy to work with you to find times that fit your pet’s normal routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my priority. I’ll follow any instructions you provide regarding feeding, walks, medications, routines, or house rules. I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention and care while keeping you updated with pictures and messages so you know they’re safe and happy.
“Carrianne was able to help us with a last minute walk for our dog. She took the time to stop by the day before to meet him. We appreciated the help and would book her again if the chance comes up!”
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.
“I needed a walker yesterday because I couldn’t be physically away from my home, so I was there when Andrew arrived. He texted when he was on his way, arrived promptly, and spent a couple of extra minutes greeting Rosie, on her level, letting her check him out and get comfortable with him - I was pleased. When they were out walking, a friend happened to see them and called me to tell me that she was impressed with how patient and gentle he was with her. He obviously made a positive impression on Rosie because she was very excited when he returned in the afternoon for her 2nd walk. I will definitely use Andrew for my future needs.”
“Yesterday was the first time walking our dog. Jessica communicated when she would arrive, when walking our dog, where they walked and shared photos of our dog taking a walk. I was out of town and felt very confident that Jessica was taking good care of our dog. We will have Jessica take care of Louie, our dog, again.”
About: I am a part time college student. I am going to school to get my ECE Degree. I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 10 by volunteering at humane societies and having my own dogs. I also worked at a doggy daycares throughout Florida and Wisconsin. I love all dogs like they are my children. I would love to own my own rescue center but as of now I want to gain more experience with taking care of different breeds and just express my love of animals to the world. I hope that you choose me to be a temporary parent for your dog and that he or she is in perfect hands and will feel at home. Thank you. Hopefully we speak soon. I work third shift for Target and dog sit during the day. I make sure they are taken out three-four times and feed twice a day. I care for them like they are children. Go on walks, feed, cuddle. Run like crazy and crash from exhaustion. I also love getting to know the dogs personality.
About: We are a family that absolutely loves dogs. Our home is a sprawling ranch in Fox Point with a park across the street. Our yard is not fenced, but we are happy to take your pup out on a leash and also spend time with them off leash in the yard. We have a 4 year old adorable little black mutt, Calamity Jane, who gets along with everyone (canine or human). We also have a new puppy named Sunny! She is a golden retriever/ german shepherd mix we are training to become our daughter’s mobility support service dog. We have 2 daughters, aged 9 & 10, who always want to pet every dog they see. I spend most of my days at home and only leave for a few hours at a time. My husband works remote and is almost always around also, so there is never a dull moment here! I also have some experience working at a veterinarian clinic in the past. Your dog will be well loved here and come home all tuckered out from the fun they had during their stay! I am a stay at home mom that is able to let your pet out regularly. Our home would be a great place for a dog with some separation issues, as we are almost always home. We love taking walks in the evenings as a family and would be happy to have an extra pup along! I am happy to crate your dog if needed.
About: I am a dog lover! There has never been a time that I have not had a dog. I would love to take care of your dog. You can enjoy your time away and rest assured that he or she will be in good hands and be cared for and loved while you are gone. He or she will get tons of attention and feel right at home. We will have lots of outdoor playtime in our fenced in yard as well as walks in our beautiful Glendale neighborhood. My dog, Dallas, is very social and loves to have new friends over. Dallas has been neutered and is healthy and current on all of this vaccinations. All dogs that stay with us can be fitted with a Whistle 3 GPS dog tracker and activity monitor which tracks your dogs activity and rest as well as monitors where they are at all times. No chance of your dog escaping and getting lost if they are known runners. I am home most of the time and have plenty of time to spend with your fur baby! Weekends are usually available as well by request. We allow pets everywhere in our home and have a fenced in yard in which to care for your fur baby. If you use a crate for your pet then that is what we will do as well. We try to mimic what is done at home to maintain continuity of care for the animal as much as possible to reduce stress and anxiety.
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was 10. I took care of my family pets, as well as my extended family. I’m currently a full time worker but my job has flexible hours and I have extended times off during holidays and school vacations. Mondays and weekend availability but can be flexible. Although I cannot have pets in my home, I am more than willing to take care of your pets in the comfort of their home environment.
About: Pet Care Experience: I’ve had dogs my whole life and have extensive hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and ages. In addition to caring for my own pets, I have provided pet care for friends and family for several years and have experience through Rover providing walks, drop-ins, and house sitting. I also have professional veterinary experience as a certified ER veterinary technician, where I’ve gained hands-on experience caring for animals in a medical setting. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, bathing, ear cleaning, administering medications as directed, and providing attentive general care. I have experience caring for senior dogs and dogs with mobility challenges, including providing support when walking or going to the bathroom. I’m also comfortable following individualized care instructions for pets with additional needs. When an owner provides appropriate instructions for their particular pet, I’m comfortable assisting with tasks such as bandage changes or injections. While dogs are my primary area of experience, I’ve also cared for numerous cats through drop-ins and house sitting. I’m comfortable with feeding, playtime, litter box care, and cleaning up whatever messes they may leave behind. Above all, I treat every pet with patience, compassion, and the same care I would want for my own pets. Schedule: I’m currently attending school full-time, and pet sitting through Rover is my only job. During the school week, I spend my days near UW–Milwaukee and offer dog walking in the UWM/Shorewood area during the day and into the early evening. I’m also available for house sitting in the UWM/Shorewood area, including longer stays, and can continue attending classes while caring for your pets. On weekends, I’m based in Hartford and offer drop-in visits there. I keep my Rover calendar up to date so my availability is always accurate. Hartford-area clients: Drop-in visits can also include a walk! If your dog needs a walk rather than feeding or playtime, just let me know how you’d like the 30- or 60-minute visit used. Safety and Trust: My experience caring for dogs and cats, along with my professional veterinary experience, has taught me how important it is to understand each pet as an individual. During the meet and greet, I take the time to learn your pet’s routine, personality, needs, and any special instructions so I can provide care that is safe, comfortable, and consistent with what they’re used to. My veterinary experience also gives me a valuable ability to recognize subtle changes in a pet’s behavior, appetite, energy level, mobility, or bathroom habits that could signal that something isn’t quite right. I know that pets, especially cats, can sometimes hide signs that they aren’t feeling well, so I pay close attention to changes from their normal behavior and will communicate promptly with you if I notice anything concerning. I believe meet and greets are extremely important, so I’m always happy to find a time to meet with pet parents before a booking. This gives you the opportunity to meet me, see how I interact with your pet(s), ask any questions or address concerns, and go over important details in person. During both house sittings and drop-ins, I provide plenty of updates, pictures, and information so you can feel confident that your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.
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.
“Haley has a way with animals. My dog needed coaxing to welcome new people in her life. Haley was confident, kind and caring. Even my skittish cat is now her friend. I am very pleased with Haley's professional care and am most grateful to have her skill set.”
About: I've luckily been able to take care of a variety of breeds growing up, including a husky, dalmatian, chocolate lab, and a terrier mix. They've all lived their lives to the fullest and I'm incredibly grateful to carry their memories with me to this day. In comparison to cats, I know dogs require more hands-on attentive care due to their reliance on humans to support their daily routine. Multiple walks a day is truly the secret to a well-behaved dog, as well as personalized care. While I'm enjoying my winter break from university, I'll be working third shift at a hospital and will occasionally pick up shifts at a restaurant, creating little wiggle room for hosting or staying over. First and foremost, I like to receive a short personality profile of you animal, so I know what kind of care works best for the both of you! My care depends on whether or not your furry friend is more rambunctious or prefers to be a lapdog.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Whitefish Bay
Maggie is great; she's been walking Bella, a Pittie who is often in the seek-and-destroy zone. She is hyper-focused on everything around her, but never on her handler. Bella Francis is my daughter's dog, who has been staying with me for the past three weeks. We hired Maggie to get Bella out on 4 30-minute walks per week, and she was a lifesaver. Thanks for everything, Maggie. If you need a walker who can handle anything and everything with a smile, I would highly recommend Maggie. She is 10 stars!

We are so grateful to have found Mia after bringing home our 8 week old puppy! She fit us in her schedule and took wonderful care of our puppy during her visits while we were at work. She has excellent communication and was quick to reply and follow up! We loved the cute photos she shared after her visits. We highly recommend Mia!
Vicki has been great with our dogs and very reliable as I'm recovering from surgery. I feel totally confident in her ability to handle our excitable pups as she has lots of experience due to her volunteer work at the Humane Society walking a lot of different dogs. Ruby and Moonshine watch for her car and are so excited to see her!

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 Whitefish Bay. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone.

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 walker.
