“Rebecca was phenomenal with my little critters! Excellent communication throughout the week and she was able to adjust last minute to needing to give my dog extra TLC and medication. I highly recommend her for your pet-sitting needs!”

“Emily was great at communicating with us the entire stay, and we could tell from all her updates and pictures that our pups loved having her around. Our flight ended up getting delayed because of the blizzard rolling through Wisconsin this past weekend, and Emily was able to help make sure our pups were let out and fed while we figured out how to get back to Milwaukee. I would absolutely recommend Emily to anyone else looking for expert and friendly care for their pups on Rover. Thank you again!”

“Jenn was reliable and consistent, she did a great job staying with our 2 cats and sent lots of updates! I felt at ease knowing she was at our house when we were gone, look forward to booking with her again!”

“Terri did an outstanding job! This was the 1st time using Rover. She couldn’t have done a better job representing the company. She was very thorough and kind. She sent daily pictures and updates. Our dog is pretty old so it took him a little time to get used to her. Lastly, our flight was delayed and we were arriving home later than expected. She was able to assist and put our minds at ease. Thanks for everything Terri!!”

“Evita was absolutely amazing with both of our dogs. She took great care of them and even pivoted during unforeseen circumstances to ensure our dogs stayed loved on and safe while we were gone. We will definitely use her again in the future!”


“Joe was great with our Fifi, he was really a lifesaver! He stayed at our house as our rescue dog can be a little clingy. I received the cutest pictures and was really able to enjoy myself on vacation knowing she was at home!”

“Keisha was amazing! She helped us out when another sitter cancelled. She took amazing care of our 2 dogs while we were away! She was very responsive, sent lots of pictures, and kept us posted the whole weekend! She truly understood and embraced my dog’s personalities! I would highly recommend her and will be using her again in the future!”
“Fatima was amazing to work with. I booked her on short notice before the holiday when my original plans fell through. She offered and made it a priority to come do a meet & greet on days notice. I’m always a little nervous when using a new sitter especially when they stay at mine, but my mind was at ease immediately when I met her. I could tell she has a big heart and really cares for animals. She followed all instructions and she went above and beyond spending time with Diesel doing his favorite activities (walks, playing fetch, swimming, etc.). She was incredibly communicative and sent a lot of pictures and videos which was much appreciated. As a former Rover sitter and a frequent user of Rover’s services, I can confidently say that Fatima is one of the best sitters I’ve come across. I will definitely be using her in the future and have already recommended her to others looking for sitters. Thank you Fatima!!!”

“Cary was an excellent dog sitter! She cared for my dog for 7 days while I was out of the country, and this was my first time being away from my dog. She was very thoughtful about sending regular updates throughout the day, which gave me so much peace of mind. Cary stayed at my home and took great care of both my dog and my space. She kept everything clean and even washed my sheets before I returned, which I truly appreciated after a long day of traveling. It’s clear she genuinely cares and treats your pet like her own. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!”

“Maggie did a wonderful job with Morgan & Frankie. She arrived when asked and even stayed longer then planned due to a flight delay. I received pictures and the dogs seemed happy and at ease. She said they were well behaved-everything a dog Mom wants to hear. She will help us again in a few days and I have total confidence they are in good hands and they will be happy to see her. I highly recommend her.”

About: From working/volunteering at shelters to pet sitting for friends and family, I have 10+ years of experience caring for furry friends of all ages, personalities, and sizes! Most all of my pet care has been limited to cats and dogs, but I am willing to work with small critters, birds and reptiles with the right care instructions/tutorials. I am not typically squeamish, so I am open to handling clean up and medication - please message me for specifics. As a dog mom myself, I understand that each pet requires different levels of care and attention, and am willing to meet them where they’re at! However, I do not offer training services and might not be the most compatible caretaker for pets that exhibit aggressive behaviors (I am open to discussing). Additionally, I am a full time graduate student, so care in the early morning and evenings will work best for my week day schedule. I will be available some holidays (i.e., Thanksgiving). My availability may also change from time to time, so please be sure to check my profile or message me. Choosing me means your pet will receive quality care, and that all the updates you receive will include cute pics! As a full time student, my weekday availability might mean limited check-ins, but your pet is always the priority! - Monday & Tuesday: 6:00 AM - 7:30 AM; after 5 PM - Wednesday: 6:00 AM - 7:30 AM; after 7 PM - Thursday: 6:00 AM - 7:30 AM; after 5 PM - Friday: 6:00 AM - 8:00 AM; after 3:00 PM - Saturday & Sunday: Flexible! I will need a few hours in the morning and some afternoons to volunteer. For pet sitting, I can provide the following: - Feeding and hydration - Exercise and play - Maintenance and cleaning of pets environment (e.g., litter box, crate, etc.) - Medication administration - Light housekeeping (e.g., bringing mail in, watering plants, taking out trash, etc.) - Text/photo/video updates
“Ryan was fantastic! He took great care of our very large dog, who can be reactive at times. I completely trusted him while we were away for a week. We received lots of updates like we asked. He gave our dog medicine without any issues. We came home to a very happy pup and a spotless house. Ryan even got our mail and watered our flowers while we were away, which was super nice. We highly recommend him and already have our next trips booked with him!”

About: When you book with me; you will be booking my entire family; including 3 kids. Your dog must tolerate children. Ever since our dog passed away in 2020, we have been getting our dog fix through dog sitting and are having the best time doing so. We are very experienced, responsible, and loving. Our house is busy but always filled with people. I work out of the home during the week and am off on weekends. We do prefer crate trained dogs, but that’s not required. We have a giant fenced in yard, a clean home and lots of love ready to share with your dog. At this time, we only watch dogs in our home. Also, although I have a family, I will be the primary caretaker of your dog.
“Stephen and Wipawee watched our dog for the second time. They took excellent care of him. They kept us informed with pictures and updates throughout our trip. They were very respectful of our home and even brought in our mail and took our trash out to the curb. 100% recommend them and will definitely ask them to dog sit again in the future!”

“Whitney was great! She was very responsive and flexible! She saved us when our sitter cancelled last minute and she did such a great job with our 2 cats. Will definitely book her again in the future!”


“Scott was our first introduction to Rover. We really appreciated that he could come on short notice to sit with our 22-week old puppy. We loved Scott's relaxed and gentle way with our dog who is so excited to meet someone new, but is still in manners training in how to greet people. Scott quickly picked up on what we were trying to teach and went along with that routine. Scott arrived on the dot of our agreed time and we plan to ask him to come again!”


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.
About: I love all pets, big and small! I’ve pet sat for family and friends (from puppies to tripod cats) over the last few years. I don’t have any pets of my own so I always enjoy meeting new dogs/cats :) I work 9-5 (mon-friday) and typically work from home once a week. I’m available when I wfh, weeknights and weekends! Would love to use some of my free time to take care of your pets. For overnight stays, I’ available to stay at your house. I know every pet has their own personality, routine and quirks - I do my best to stick to what makes them feel comfortable. I’ll follow your care instructions and treat your pet the way I’d want someone to treat my own. Whether that’s a long walk, trip to the park, pup cup or being a house hippo, I’m happy to accommodate.
“Beth is a Godsend! She stayed at our home for five days and took exceptional care of our many animals: our dog, cats, rabbits, Guinea pig and fish. We came back to a tidy house and relaxed animals. She took our dog on two mile walks and sent photos and updates regularly. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She is kind and considerate. We highly recommend Beth!”

Joseph was absolutely wonderful! He kept me updated several times a day with pictures and messages about what they were doing, which gave me such peace of mind while I was away. I came home to a happy, well-cared-for dog and house. I would absolutely recommend Joseph and would not hesitate to have him dog sit again!

Kerry watched our two girls for 5 days at our home. We have an Aussie and a Terrier mix and the Aussie can be anxious when we are away. Kerry was awesome and we could tell when we returned that the girls were calm and well taken care of. She asked thoughtful questions to make sure she knew about their preferences/routine and gave us updates along the way. Highly recommend!

Sarah is an absolute star - we’re so lucky to have found her on Rover! Our dogs are so happy and comfortable with her, and we know we can rely on her 100%. Consistent photos and updates, and when we get home, the dogs are so chill that it’s like we never left.

Erin is a fantastic dog sitter . She spent the weekend at our home caring for our 6 year old Boston Terrier who weighs 36 lbs. He doesn’t do well without a human to care for him. He is also a picky eater. She is very caring and responsible. She also sent pictures of him that gives you a good feeling while away. She has dogs of her own and it shows. We are happy she was available and will definitely use her in the future.

Kelsey watched my dog when I was out of town for almost a week. She was responsive, easy going, reliable, easy to work with. My dog has some separation anxiety issues and I always worry so much about leaving him, but I felt completely comfortable with Kelsey watching him! He was calm when we got home and not anxious at all. Definitely booking her for our future dog sitting needs!

While we were gone on a short trip, Angela brought in the mail and or packages and most importantly took care of my cat Buffy. When Angela dropped by to pick up the key, Buffy initially ran from the door but when she heard her voice, Buffy was rubbing her legs and so happy to see her again after the meet & greet. Angela really is a cat whisperer! When we returned from our trip, Buffy was calm, relaxed and all was well in her world. I definitely would recommend Angela to anyone, especially if you have cats! She is a gem.

Ryan was fantastic! He took great care of our very large dog, who can be reactive at times. I completely trusted him while we were away for a week. We received lots of updates like we asked. He gave our dog medicine without any issues. We came home to a very happy pup and a spotless house. Ryan even got our mail and watered our flowers while we were away, which was super nice. We highly recommend him and already have our next trips booked with him!

Scott was FABULOUS with our dog, Rocket! Rocket is a bit picky, but he wholeheartedly loved Scott, too. Scott had wonderful communication--he gave enough so that I felt reassured that Rocket was doing well, but he also let me just relax while on our trip. He made me feel confident that Rocket was in good hands, and that means the world to me. Scott also took in our mail and watered our garden. Thanks for everything, Scott!
