“Rachel was amazing! Before the visits. She came by for a quick introductory with my girls and they warmed up to her very fast. She has many specifics about what their needs are. And while I was gone she sent very detailed messages about their activities during the day and sent pictures which were very appreciated. I highly recommend you book with Rachel.”
About: I’m Krisha! I have 20+ years of experience caring for animals, including dogs, cats, hedgehogs, guinea pigs, and more. I’ve been the go to pet sitter for friends and family for years, and I decided it was time to extend that same care to other pet owners in my community! I know how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pets and sometimes that being in your home. I’m happy to provide in home pet sitting, drop in visits, potty breaks, and dog walks while keeping your pet’s normal routine as consistent as possible. I work remotely, which gives me plenty of flexibility during the workweek for daytime visits, walks, and potty breaks. Monday - Friday I'm available for short 30 min potty breaks/walks/visits during the day (6am-4pm) and then longer visits/potty breaks/walks(430pm-10pm). Saturday & Sunday I'm free all day/night. I'm very active so whatever your dog needs from me, playing fetch or just some company I'm your girl! I also genuinely enjoy walking, so whether your pup needs a quick 20 minute stroll or a longer 60 minute walk, I’m happy to get them out and moving. I’m comfortable with pets of different personalities, sizes, and energy levels, and I’ll treat your pets like they’re part my family. I do live in an apartment so I'd prefer any sitting/overnights to be in your home. I'm happy to meet before hand to ensure your fur babies and I are a good fit! I’m also happy to provide updates and photos so you can relax knowing they’re being well cared for while you’re away. I’d love to meet you and your pets! 🐾
“Erica was very thorough and did a wonderful job taking care of Cooper at lunchtime. You can definitely tell she cares about dogs. We would recommend her and use her again to care for our pup.”
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.

I have a fenced backyard that is home to a 1 year old Bernadoodle who loves making new friends. No chemicals or yard applications done!
About: I treat every dog like family, providing loving, dependable care. I’m patient with puppies, gentle with senior dogs, and always keep owners updated with photos and messages. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine, allowing plenty of time for walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, and giving each dog personalized attention every day! I will provide personalized care for each pup, following each pet’s routine with feeding, walks, playtime, cuddles, medication if needed, and a safe, comfortable environment
About: As someone who has two German Shepherds and grew up with several cats, I love animals. Open to taking your dog on a walk, dropping by to feed them, or even staying the night while you’re away. I work from home and am available for shorter periods of time during the day as well as in the afternoon and evenings. Open to occasional weekends as well! I am open to taking care of your pet in your home and making sure that your pet is being taken care of to your standards. I guarantee a safe and loving environment in my care.
About: I have worked with three doggy daycares with different social settings and dynamics small groups to groups of 45. We are trained to care for dogs, of any breed. Poop, or throw up I can handle it. I work part-time my schedule shifts, are Tuesday, and Sunday. However, I can change my shifts to meet your schedule needs. never be afraid to ask and always ask me a week in advance. I have been trained through three different doggy daycare programs that have introduced different training protocols to understand the needs, health, Dog AID, behaviors, and more of different breeds. Your fur babies or little ones will receive all the love and care they need. I will keep you updated with videos, photos, or even FaceTime to show you how everything is going when I visit a client’s home. I always follow and respect the rules, and if I notice anything unusual, I will report it and ask questions, because your pets’ well-being is my top priority.
About: I have been a dog lover since I could walk. I’ve owned my own dog (a pug) for 13 years and it’s been an absolute joy. I currently own my Pomeranian named Dior and she’s the love of my life. I am super active and love being active with dogs! I am more than willing to make a schedule that’ll suit you, myself and your furry companion. Select weekends are flexible as well! I am super excited to work with you if willing to work with me! I am really excited to meet your furry friend :)
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. I’m a private concierge caregiver for the elderly, so compassion, attentiveness, and high-quality care are at the center of everything I do. When your dog stays with me, they’re not just supervised — they’re truly looked after. I don’t lock dogs away or leave them isolated. They stay in a clean, comfortable home environment and are treated like part of the family from the moment they arrive. I offer premium, one-on-one care, daily structure, safe play, and a calm household. Whether it’s boarding or walking, I focus on building trust, offering consistency, and providing the same level of care I give the people I work with every day. Your pet will be loved, respected, and cared for with genuine attention — the way you’d want, and the way they deserve. My lifestyle is perfect for dogs who love consistency, attention, and plenty of breaks. I’m in and out throughout the day, which allows for regular potty breaks every 2–4 hours. I’m always home every morning and evening, and your pup can expect daily walks as part of our routine. Weekends are wide open, giving me plenty of time for play, exercise, and quality companionship. Your dog will never feel alone or overlooked—they’ll be included in the flow of my day and cared for with the same attention I give my own family. Your dog will be welcomed into a clean, quiet, privately-owned ranch home with a fully fenced-in yard—perfect for safe play, potty breaks, and fresh-air time. I treat every pet like part of my family, not like a kennel number. Dogs have access to my entire home, including cozy lounging spaces, supervised outdoor time, and a calm, relaxed environment.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Elm Grove
We had a wonderful experience with our drop-in dog sitter! They were reliable, caring, and attentive to our dog’s needs. They let our dog out, made sure he was fed, and carefully gave his insulin as instructed. We really appreciated the peace of mind knowing he was in such capable and caring hands. Highly recommend!
Alyssa did a wonderful job with my large dogs. To note I have three BIG boys all active herding/wors dog mixed breeds. She was helping with drops in for AM and early PM while I was out of town alongside my parents as they needed assistance with their own schedules. My boys quickly were comfortable with Alyssa (my middle pup has some high stranger anxiety and make me look silly for my concerns) she also did great having to deal with a donut cone for my eldest since he had a skin condition acting up. She was also great at communicating any adjustments/timing I.e a potty accident at her previous drop in had her running a few behind.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Elm Grove is $21 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $30 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 2,102 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Elm Grove. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Elm Grove 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.
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.
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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

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.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
