“Nicole is awesome! She was great with my puppy - he took to her immediately. Easy to communicate with, arrived perfectly on time, and sent fast updates with adorable pics. I would definitely rebook in the future.”
“Wonderful sitter! Took extra care to spend time with our pets to make sure they weren't alone & provided us with updates. We'll absolutely be thrilled to work with Paul again for future trips.”
“Heather did a wonderful job dropping in to help with my two cats while I was on vacation. She came over for a meet and greet beforehand to understand their needs and was even willing to put some jelly in my Oriole feeder during the week. She is reliable and trustworthy and I will definitely have her come over again!”
“Karlee did an outstanding job watching our two dogs while we were away. Her visits were just as we agreed to, she was caring to our dogs, and she provided great updates and fun pictures!”
“Amanda was so great with our kitten! We did a met a greet the day before we left for vacation. She asked great questions & took notes. You can tell she really cares about each animals (and humans) needs while pet sitting. The pictures & visit summary were great. We will definitely be using Amanda again.”
“This is our second time with Madeline and we couldn’t be happier. She’s so good with Niya. I’m still flabbergasted that she gets her to go outside and actually use the bathroom. It’s such a relief to know we have someone who is reliable and has so much love for our fur baby.”
About: Pets are family, and we love providing a safe, fun, and loving home for them to stay! Our dog passed away on Christmas 2024. While we’re not ready for a new pup of our own yet, we love opening our home to others. We have two kind, animal-loving kids (ages 3 and 9) who are gentle, playful, and always excited to help care for our furry guests. To make sure every pet feels at home, we usually host just one dog at a time (unless they’re from the same family). Your pet will get plenty of attention, playtime, and affection while you’re away — along with lots of love from the whole family. We can’t wait to meet you and your furry friend! 🐾 I work full time as a social worker during the school year but off during the summer. I am able to provide care on weeknights and weekends and more intensive care in the summer! Our dog recently passed away and we are used to providing regular dog care. We have a large, un-fenced yard and great areas for walking!
About: I've owned a dog for ten years at home. I also have taken care of various neighbors' and friends' dogs as they relied on me to walk, feed, and play with the dog. I have boarded a dog for a month last summer. I now care for my own dog in my apartment. I currently have an easy schedule with one class a day where I would not be in the apartment. However, due to having three other roommates there is typically always somebody in my apartment. I have a very friendly dog who would love to play with others but she can also relax in her crate as needed. We have a fenced-in courtyard that dogs can run around in too!
“I very much trusted and enjoyed having Bridget drop in for visits to help with our 13 yr old Yorkie. She was timely and took care of Lucy as asked for. I would certainly recommend her and I will reach out again as needed. Thank you, Bridget.”
About: I have two rescue dogs (Tasha & Diesel)!. I've been around dogs my whole life. I have dealt with all ages of dogs from puppy stages to senior dog care. I do work a full time job but I work from home 4 days a week on a routine basis (monday, wednesday - friday). Working from home gives me flexibility to take care of your pets whether it's a quick walk, playtime, or potty breaks! In my client's home to best fit the needs of your pet, all I ask is for important details on your pets triggers or anything that i need to know (and your wifi password if I work from home!) :)
“As always, we had a wonderful experience leaving our fur babies with Aidan! Very communicative, attentive to our pets needs, and goes above and beyond to make us feel comfortable while we are away.”
“Kayla was on time and had great communication! She spent ample time making sure Quinn did his business, and gave him plenty of attention and belly rubs! We got some adorable pictures updates as well”
About: Hi there! I am an animal lover who recently relocated to Wisconsin from Texas, with a lifelong background caring for dogs. In my free time, I enjoy volunteering at Rescue Gang and the Wisconsin Humane Society. I Enjoy All Personalities: I am highly experienced in managing hyperactive dogs, energetic puppies, aggressive pullers, stubborn behaviors, and dog reactivity. I am comfortable working with senior dogs, managing allergies, and administering medications as needed. I am currently working to expand my knowledge by pursuing additional certifications to better serve you and your fur baby and provide the best possible care. I work full time in Glendale. I am currently available for bookings most nights and weekends, outside of my work hours of 7:00 am – 4:00 pm I am CPR and First Aid certified for pets. I carry a specialized pet first-aid kit, extra leashes, poop bags, water, bowls, and beef liver treats at all times. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I proactively avoid negative interactions and stay clear of off-leash dogs to ensure your pet remains comfortable and secure. As the weather warms up, I prioritize your pet's health by limiting outdoor exposure and focusing on shorter, cooler walks during peak heat hours.
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals from a very young age and have been dog sitting since I was 15. Growing up I had the sweetest golden doodle named Angel who was my best friend and inspired me to start petsitting! I work as a special education para during the school year and am looking for summer work. I have availability overall full-time throughout June to August! I love to hang out with them and give them lots of pets as well as take them wherever I go as long as I am able to! If I need to check out from sitting for a bit for any reason, I make sure to leave them at home with some toys and leave them with a treat!
About: We've always had a family dog while I was growing up- a variety of breeds and sizes. The only time I was without a dog was the 4 yrs I was renting an apartment that wouldn't allow them. My family often pet sit for family on vacation and we recently had 2 Rottweilers in our home for 3 months while our friends relocated. We spent many years raising our five kids and now would love to pet sit for other busy pet loving families. We both have flexible work schedules which allow us to be available almost 24/7 for boarding, walks or drop-in pet care! We can fit in any care you need around our schedules. We live in a remote rural area of Germantown on 1.0 acres and have plenty of cozy living space inside. We can take your animals to our house or come to you! Whichever you'd prefer
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Germantown is $20
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Germantown
Courtney is absolutely amazing! Wish I could provide more than five stars! Professional, kind, responsible, respectful, and loving with our boys. Wonderful communication, updates, and pictures. The whole experience was top notch and we appreciate how much she cared about our boys and respected our home. Highly, highly recommend. Thank you Courtney!!
Kim was a life saver for us! Our pups do not do well in kennels and are not dog friendly, so having Kim do drop-in visits throughout the day was a total lifesaver! Our one dog has a reoccurring tummy issue that happens few months, unfortunately this happened while we were away. Kim helped keep an eye on her, and even cleaned up when she got sick. We will be using Kim again for any future sitting needs!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Germantown on Rover is $15.54 per visit (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 2,143 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Germantown. 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 Germantown 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 Germantown. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% 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.
