“Elizabeth was wonderful! Our pups were well loved and safe. She was trustworthy and went above and beyond to make sure the house was left in excellent condition. We look forward to having her back.”
“Alex is great with animals, respectful, kind, caring and compassionate. She is great with communication and made me feel like my pets were being well cared for. Highly recommend!”
“Julianna Stayed in my house for five nights/six days and took excellent care of my large, high-energy Siberian Husky. It can be hard to find a trustworthy house/dog sitter sitter outside of personal friends and family, but I couldn’t have been more satisfied.”
“Keisha was a Godsend, one of our cat's requires daily meds, which he hates taking, and she made sure he got them with understanding and positivity, even when personally tested knowing the need that he received them.”
“Ashley was So responsive and Wonderful with my boys! Thankful she was able to watch them in their house!! Will definitely book again if she is willing to watch them!!”
“Megan was so great! We got lots of pics and videos and our pups were happy and chill when we got back, even after it being too cold to go outside much. Will definitely call again - thanks!”
“Jessica has taken care of our cats, pup, and home while we’re traveling multiple times. She is such a wonderful sitter, and we’re really grateful to have found her. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, communicative, and wonderful to work with!”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! She communicated wonderfully from the start and even met with me ahead of time to get to know my dog’s routine and feel comfortable with the space. While I was away, she sent daily updates with pictures of Stewart completely abandoning dad to cuddle with his new friend! 😂 I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter.”
“Madeline house sat for me for over a week and did a great job with my timid Chihuahua and Cat. She gave me daily updates and handled their daily routine and activity needs effortlessly. My dog who's slow to warm up to new people was actually sad to see her leave by the end of the sitting period. Highly recommended.”
“Loving, caring, strong. First time I’ve left my 6year old golden with someone other than family. Took many pictures and sent to me. Trustworthy. Would definitely recommend and have her again! Kathy”
“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!”
“Carole and Max are amazing. The last time she sat for me, I had two dogs. Sadly, I had to put one of them down and Carole and Max left me a framed photo on my beloved Sequoia. Their thoughtfulness meant the world to me and I know my dog Miley was well cared for.”
“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!”
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats of all ages and sizes, even dogs that can be leash, collar, and dog aggressive when walking. I am mostly available later in the week and weekends due to being a full time student, but have breaks in between my school days! There is a green area for dogs down the street from me and a quick 15 minute walk towards the lake for more walking paths!
“Travis is an amazing, reliable sitter! We came home to two happy, well-cared-for pups and a spotless house. He went above and beyond by helping with package deliveries and our sprinkler system. Throughout our trip, he sent plenty of photo and text updates that kept us at ease. What sets Travis apart is his caring nature and flexible schedule—he was able to spend real time with our dogs during the day, not just quick drop-ins. Our pups absolutely loved him, and we could tell they felt comfortable and safe in his care. If you’re looking for a trustworthy, attentive sitter who treats your pets and home with the same care you would, Travis is the one to book. We’re so grateful to have found him and will definitely use him again!”
“Jackie stayed in our house with our dog for the weekend and she was great. Our husky Zero is our baby and a bit particular sometimes but she took it all in stride. She sent pictures throughout the weekend and reached out when she had questions. We also tried to make the house nice and neat for her time here and when she left we were wondering if she actually touched anything it was still so clean! We highly recommend Jackie and plan on booking her in the future when we're away for any extended amount of time.”
“Lynette was terrific with our dogs. One of our dogs is blind and the other one had been turned down from a doggy daycare for not being friendly enough. She spent time with them and sent us pictures of both of them in her lap sleeping. We have already talked with her about watching them again in March. Great job!! and great service.”
“Catherine did a great job house sitting and pet sitting my golden retriever for 5 nights. She was extremely professional throughout the entire process and left my home clean and tidy. I would not hesitate to book with her again!”

Alex stayed at our house with our dog and cat for 3 nights and she was amazing. Super communicative, I loved all of her updates and pictures. I was never once worried about them! She was very respectful of our home - it looked just like we left it. We will definitely request Alex again for our next trip!
Michaela did a wonderful job taking care of my two cats! With two different diets and varying levels of pickiness, they can be a little difficult to manage when we’re out of town—but she handled it perfectly! And, very communicative with updates provided while we were away. We came home to bird TV playing for our cats, which was such a considerate touch!
Kyla was beyond amazing & wonderful with my 2 cats! She took time to observe & learn how I normally do my pet care; she even came over a day before I left so she could feed, change water, clean litter box, use the vacuum & empty it, etc…. My boys LOVED HER from the first day they met her. She updated me with photos, videos & messages about them which was really fun & much appreciated..Kyla was very respectful of my living space…she even cleaned it and did laundry before I came back home!! She took the cats on walks, took time to acquaint herself with staff & people in my building. She left a lovely card for me. My goodness… I just can’t say enough to describe how pleased & grateful I am for Kyla & her incredible love & care of my cats as well as her respect for me & the whole community I live in. She will be welcomed back in a heartbeat!
Lily absolutely exceeded my expectations with her attention to detail, genuine care and concern for my pups, and thoroughness! My dogs were well taken care of with feeding, walking (carefully in a heat wave), fireworks, and just general companionship. I also returned to my home probably looking better than how I left it - well cared for, cleaned, and plants alive and well. The daily updates were fantastic and very reassuring. Lily is amazing and I hope we can book again :)

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Milwaukee on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 1,288 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Milwaukee. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Milwaukee walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Milwaukee maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Milwaukee 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!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.

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.
