About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. From fostering dogs and helping them find the right homes, to caring for puppies, seniors, and dogs of all sizes, I've gained experience with a wide variety of needs and personalities. After spending nearly 17 years with my beloved Lab, Max, and now raising my rescue dog, Basil Maxine, I understand the trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else. I understand that every dog is unique and deserves patience, love, safety, and individualized care. I work from home full-time as a payroll specialist, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to be present throughout the day. My dog, Basil, typically goes out around 9 a.m., 3 p.m., and again one or two times in the evening, so guest dogs can expect regular potty breaks, walks, and attention. We enjoy exploring our neighborhood, including walks along the Milwaukee River and visits to nearby open grassy areas. While we occasionally visit the dog park, it is not a regular part of our routine and is never required. If it's something your dog enjoys and you're comfortable with, I'm happy to discuss it. Since I'm a homebody by nature, your dog will have plenty of company, supervision, and care while you're away, whether it's for a few hours or a longer vacation. My home is a calm, dog-friendly environment where pets are treated like family. Guest dogs will receive plenty of attention, exercise, affection, and opportunities for rest. Walks are always on leash, and I prioritize safe introductions and positive interactions with other dogs we may encounter during our walks. Basil is a friendly, social dog who enjoys the company of other dogs. That said, I understand that every dog has different comfort levels, routines, and needs. I'm happy to accommodate crate or kennel routines if that's what your dog is accustomed to. We have a crate suitable for smaller breeds, and there is space for a larger crate if you'd prefer to provide your own. Dogs can also be fed separately or given their own space when needed to ensure everyone remains comfortable and safe. I understand that every dog is different. My goal is to provide the same level of care, patience, and love that I provide for my own dog.
“My dog Simba loves going to Kristine’s house for boarding and daycare! It makes me feel at ease that he is having fun, getting exercise, and not anxious there despite his high separation anxiety. Kristine sends pictures and loves all dogs like her own. Simba even knows which house is hers and sprints from the car to her front door! Would highly recommend!!!!”
“Josie had so much fun with Monica! I really appreciated Monica's communication: she was quick to respond and she sent plenty of pictures. Highly recommended and will definitely be contacting her in the future!”
“Kim is amazing! We always have her watch our dachshund Wendi whenever we go out of town or have an event to go to. She is so responsive and such a kind person! When she’s watching our dog, we know our dog is in great hands.Our dog always comes home happy and sleepy after hanging out with Kim and her dog! Thank you!!”
“Linda was super accommodating for a last minute booking, she was very flexible with the pick up and drop off times and she was very kind to us and amazing with our babies!”
“Friendly, flexible, and most importantly my little dog seems super happy and worn out after spending the day playing with theirs! Seems like a safe and fun fit for my fur child and will continue to rebook!”
About: I had a 12 year old puggle who was my best friend! He was walked every day of his life. Now that he has passed, I am looking to spend time with other furry companions! I am recently retired, so I have lots of time and a very flexible schedule! I love all dogs and am very gentle with all pets. I love downtown and know all kinds of routes for your pets. I am an active person so long or short walks are easy for me to do!
“Gabriel took Lucy to the lake, introduced her to other dogs, and she didn't want to leave when I picked her up. He accommodated my short notice request and I'm so grateful that Lucy had somewhere safe to go while I headed to work.”
About: We love animals but aren’t in a place in our lives to have our own. We’d love to be able to get some pet love while still being able to keep our flexible lifestyle. We thought pet sitting would be the best way to do so! We genuinely love pet sitting/housesitting since we just love doing new things together. We are very responsible and are almost always reachable by text. We have a car and are willing to travel to you. We are excited to hear from you soon :) I only work in office Tuesday through Thursday from 9-5, other than that I am usually home. On those days I can feed them before and after work. Ethan (my boyfriend) also works fully remote so he’ll be around to take care of the pets on the days I’m in office. A midday walk is a great way to get him out of the house We have the top level of a duplex. It’s a pretty open space. We love to go on walks and spend time with furry friends. We’re really good about sending photo updates and checking in with the owners throughout the day.
“Emily was absolutely amazing! She kept me updated throughout the day with lots of pictures and messages, which made me feel so comfortable knowing my puppy was in such great hands. It was clear she genuinely cared for him and treated him like her own. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter, and I can’t wait for our next visit. Emily is truly amazing, and I highly recommend her!”
About: What sets me apart is both my personal and professional experience caring for animals of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and currently work at Dogtopia, where I care for and supervise dogs daily. This has helped me become patient, attentive, and comfortable working with different temperaments and energy levels. I also have experience with both senior dogs and puppies. My senior dog, Otis, had arthritis, so I learned how important patience, comfort, and attentive care are for older pets. I also helped raise and train our pug puppy with basic training, routines, and socialization. Because of these experiences, I understand that every pet has different needs depending on their age and personality, and I always try to make pets feel safe, active, and cared for like they’re my own.⭐️😊 Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. I work at Dogtopia, where I help maintain a safe, clean, and fun environment for dogs of all sizes and personalities. 🐾 My job has taught me the importance of paying close attention to dogs’ behavior, safety, and overall well-being throughout the day. When I’m home, I also spend a lot of time caring for my own dog. I enjoy taking him on long walks by the lake, staying active with him through runs and playtime, and making sure he gets plenty of attention, exercise, and care every day.🦮🏃♀️❤️ When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I always prioritize safety, comfort, and keeping pets on their normal routine as much as possible. I make sure the environment is clean and secure by checking doors, gates, food, and anything that could be unsafe or easily gotten into by curious pets.🤗 I also pay close attention to each pet’s behavior, energy level, and individual needs to help them feel comfortable and stress-free while their owner is away. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, medication reminders, or simply giving them attention and companionship, I always try to make pets feel safe, cared for, and at home.

About: I’m a kind and goofy gal that loves dogs with my whole being. I own a beagle named Luna that I love spending time with. Her mom needs to hustle to get more funds for our journeys and all the Trader Joe’s treats. I am constantly the friend that takes care of my friend’s dog and enjoy every moment. I hope you give me the opportunity to spend time with your pet! I’d be happy to expand on my experience and passion. My entire schedule revolves around my dog. I’m thinking about how to move things around for her and always checking if I can bring her with. I enjoy our three walks a day on our remote work from home days. I’m open to taking care of pets at my home or their own as long as you’re okay with mine being with us. I’d be happy to introduce them beforehand. I’m a horrible liar and believe in karma, so I treat everyone and their homes like I would want others to treat mine. Hopefully this isn’t too cheesy lol

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Milwaukee
Jessica was fantastic! She helped us out immensely during our first week with our new puppy, stating with our pup at our apartment when we needed to go back to work. She was super responsive and attentive. Looking forward to booking with her again for future puppy care needs!
Emily was absolutely amazing! She kept me updated throughout the day with lots of pictures and messages, which made me feel so comfortable knowing my puppy was in such great hands. It was clear she genuinely cared for him and treated him like her own. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter, and I can’t wait for our next visit. Emily is truly amazing, and I highly recommend her!
Megan and Rick and our Poppy's new friend Regal are wonderful! After an initial meet and greet, Poppy had her first official daycare which she loved, and we already have an overnight stay planned. So glad to have a great family for her to stay with when needed.
Benjamin was fantastic for our Charlie girl! Generous and kind, he took time out of a busy Sunday so we could attend a Brewers game while visiting Milwaukee. Charlie instantly loved him which immediately put us at ease. A high-energy “Velcro” dog demanding even more cuddles than exercise, Charlie can be a handful but Benjamin was a perfect fit. Great communication too. We highly recommend him!!
Samantha was amazing my new dog Sharkboy! She took a pretty last minute booking with a meet and greet and all went well and she took him in for basically an entire Saturday. She sent pictures of them having fun and really took great care of him as he's coming out of his shell more and more. Her dog V and her cats are also super friendly and welcoming! Would highly recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Milwaukee on Rover is $26.75 per day (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care 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 Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 538 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Milwaukee. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Milwaukee commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in WI ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 538 sitters in Milwaukee, 88% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
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.
