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.
“Ilene was great! We have a foster cat in quarantine with an infection and wanted someone to spend time with him while we were out of town. Ilene was able to give him some quality time and attention, he was a happy camper. The updates we got were good and the photos were perfect. Thank you!”
“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!! ❤️”
About: I have pet sit for a number of family and friends growing up. This is just my first time dabbling in an official pet-sitting service. I am a reliable, transparent sitter dedicated to the health and happiness of your pet. I do currently have a full-time job from 9am-5pm weekdays. However, I am ready and willing to commute to work at no extra charge if I am house-sitting I am a clean, respectful house-sitter capable of performing small house-keeping tasks if needed. I am also very transparent and willing to give periodic updates during my stay.
“Carrianne was fantastic! She was very thorough in her daily updates on our cat Ivy. Ivy got along very well with her and we will definitely rebook Carrianne in the future!”
“Melissa dropped in to check on my 2 cats for four days. She was kind, dependable and responsible which gave me peace of mind, especially considering one of my cats is elderly and needs daily medication.”
About: Hi, I'm Marissa! I am an experienced dog owner, as I've had my own pup for near 6 years now. I have a strong background caring for dogs of all ages and energy levels. I grew up helping my grandma, who was a Samoyed breeder, so I've been around dogs my entire life and learned early on how to properly care for them. I've had my Aussie since he was 8 weeks, which has made me very comfortable with high-energy breeds and understand how important exercise, attention, and mental stimulation are. Whether your dog needs a quick drop-in, a walk, or just some extra attention during the day, I'll make sure they're not just checked on, but truly cared for and engaged with. I know how hard it can be to leave your pet, even for a short time. I focus on making sure your dog feels safe & comfortable. I am currently offering evening availability on the weekdays starting at 6:30pm Thursday/Friday, and flexible scheduling on Saturday's/Sunday's for drop-ins & walks. I treat every dog like my own and can't wait to meet you and your pup! I am currently working a full-time job, 8am-5pm. I know this creates limited availability, but I am willing to fit in drop-ins and walks after 6:30pm during the weekdays, and will have flexible availability on the weekend. I take my dog on two 30 minutes walks everyday, on top of playing fetch often, & providing training on basics daily. I practice off-leash in areas where it is allowed. I feed morning and evening for my dog, provide lots of cuddles and affection, and make sure play time is priority. That can be through basic training, scent games, DIY puzzles, and running in the park! As for crate training, I did it for a year but have no moved to allowing my dog to snooze next to my bed every night. This set him up for success and created trust between him and I. I focus on trust with my dog 100% of the time, and understand his needs and wants daily. The bond between your pet is so important so I want to make sure I bring that same energy to your pet!
“Kim has great communication and attention to detail. She clearly cares for animals dearly so I felt very comfortable having her check in on my cats. She gave nice updates and pictures.”
“Jan was fantastic! She was a pleasure to work with and so sweet with Poppy. We felt so comfortable having her spend time with Poppy. Jan sent great updates and pictures from her visit. Will definitely be asking her to help with Poppy in the future”
“Vicki was great. After meeting her and seeing how our cat interacted with her any concerns we had vanished. Highly recommend Vicki to watch after your fur baby.”
“Daniel came to our rescue when we learned of a death in the family. He was not in town when we left but took care of our cat that very evening when he returned home. He took care of our orchids and herbs and became fast friends with our cat. We are very grateful for his services.”
“Kyleigh is so incredible for our needy pet, and wonderful for our state of mind. We have full confidence that everything that could come up will be well handled. We used to worry about leaving even for a weekend because it seemed to stress our cat Humphrey out of his health. We understand that it must not be easy catering to every pet's (and family's) specific needs but are grateful that Kyleigh can, and does so wonderfully.”
“Grace wonderful to work with! Absolutely would book her again. She’s was very quick to respond, kept us updated and stayed longer knowing our kitten needed extra attention. Recommending her to anyone!”
About: I'd love to hang out with your dog on a walk, while I work from home (or your home!), or play with toys during a drop in check in. I work from home so I can be flexible on potty breaks. I work from home, so happy to give your pup potty breaks, walks, and play time on a flexible schedule. I'm available for morning walks also! I have two friendly small dogs, but can keep them separate if you prefer. I will keep your pup in my office with me while I work, and that will be their dedicated space. They are welcome to lay on a big dog bed or my guest bed with me while I work. They also will have access to the sun room and can watch all the rabbits and squirrels in our back yard. If you are comfortable with them being around my dogs we can also let them have run of my house while I'm at home. Your dog can be kept in a separate room by themselves with a bed and water bowl if I need to step away for a minute or they are welcome to stay in my office and lounge on the bed. I can also crate small <20 lb dogs if you prefer. For larger dogs, a crate will need to be provided. For small or older dogs, we have a small fenced yard (about 200 sq ft, fence about 3.5 ft high).
About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was 10. I have a golden retriever now and love all kinds of dogs. I grew up around dogs my whole life so I am very comfortable with them! I have 3 years of experience in dog walking as well as housesitting. I’m currently in college but my class schedule is light this semester and I am available the whole week. At home I have a golden retriever who I walk three times a day, morning, evening and night. At my house I have a fenced in backyard but I also like to take my dog for long walks as well. I am comfortable walking dogs long distances.
“Whitney was amazing with our two cats! She left wonderful comments and pictures from each visit and our place was very clean when we came home (usually there is litter everywhere around the litter boxes) ? Will definitely have her take care of them again!”

Melissa was a great cat and turtle sitter. She stayed quite a while with them each time, playing with one cat. Our other cat who is skittish did not come out but Melissa made sure she ate and did her business. She was very concerned about that cat. The turtle does need much attention but Melissa was interested in her and made sure she was fine. I highly recommend Melissa and would have her come again.
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.
Angela was wonderful! She treated our puppies with so much love and care during her drop-in visit. She spent quality time playing with them, giving them lots of hugs and attention, and it was clear she genuinely enjoys being around dogs. She was also very accommodating, responsive, and easy to communicate with throughout the entire process. We felt completely at ease knowing our puppies were in such caring hands. We would absolutely book Angela again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet 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.
Hanna did an amazing job caring for our two cats while we were away on vacation. She was incredibly reliable, communicated regularly, and sent plenty of photos that gave us peace of mind while we were gone. It was clear our cats were well cared for and comfortable in her hands. This was our second time booking with Hanna, and we will absolutely be booking with her again in the future. Highly recommend!
Isaac is THE best cat sitter. My cat Sweets is always excited when he comes and visits when I have to go away for work or vacation. He’s super efficient, reliable and takes such great care of her each time he drops in to check on her. Highly recommend booking with Isaac!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Whitefish Bay on Rover is $21.4 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 2,227 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Whitefish Bay. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Whitefish Bay stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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 Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Whitefish Bay. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
