“Tara is truly the best! We were so nervous to leave our little anxious pup, but Tara made us feel so comfortable with her frequent updates and photos. She gave Roma so much love and attention. I'm pretty sure Roma likes Tara more than she likes us now :).”
“Faith was amazing!! She was taking care of my 10 yr dog with special needs and loved her while I was on a week long business trip. She treated her with kindness and love!! Thank you Faith!!! I highly recommend her for any pet sitting needs you have!”
“Kendra was awesome to have watch our dog and 2 cats for the week! She stayed overnight with our boys and updated us with pictures throughout the week. She was a very respectful and courteous house guest and cleaned up after herself. The boys had a great time with her and we look forward to using her the next time we go on vacation!”
“Cooper is a kind, reliable pet sitter. I felt completely comfortable having him spend time with my dogs and stay in my home. I’d definitely work with him again and would encourage you to consider him for your needs as well.”
“Sara recently stayed the night with my two dogs. My night away was made more relaxing, knowing that they were in great hands. Sara is conscientious, great with dogs, and a wonderful person.”
About: I’ve had the privilege to house sit, dog walk, and LOVE 💙, my friends and clients fur babies. I make sure all of their needs are taken care of. I’m currently working 4 AM to 1230 Monday through Thursday and Saturday, but as of April 16, I’ve decided the love and passion I have for caring for your babies excite me a lot more. I will be more available to accompany your needs while you’re away for work or on a vacation with your family, yet I have had many clients& their babies have no issues when I housesit/dog walk. I treat animals with love, care, and respect as if they were my own. I will follow your directions on how your fur baby likes to be cared for.
“Kandice took excellent care of sarge. She also took him in her truck which he loves. Kandice was very conscious of his exercise and didn't just sit around waiting for me to return.”
About: We lost our sweet Blue (11 year old labradoodle) 3 years ago of bone cancer, and have recently become empty nesters. We LOVE dogs, and our cat has missed his canine companion. Our yard is over an acre, and includes a wooded area. We are also located near beautiful trails that we can walk to. Both of us work from home the majority of the time, and we will only open our home up to furry house guests if we are sure that at least one of us is available to be home the majority of the day. Your dog will love the extra love and attention that they will receive, and we tend to be a bit lenient with letting dogs on furniture/beds. Most of our neighbors own dogs, and there are young children next door. That being said, a dog that is friendly with other dogs and not wary of children would LOVE a vacation with us. I am working part time, and my husband works at least 1/2 of the time from home. We are flexible with dog schedules, and have experience with "elderly" dogs with special needs. We have a large yard (over an acre), which is not fenced in. Our neighborhood connects to walking trails and parks, so your dog will have ample exercise opportunities. We are extremely flexible with our schedules, and can adapt to meet your dog's current routines.
“Murphy Loved Vonnie! And she sent pictures. She's amazing! I will definitely be reaching out to her again. Best Sitter Ever. Totally made me feel comfortable leaving my best buddy with her. She is AWESOME!”
“The best experience ever. My precious pup just instantly loved her. She played with him and loved on him. She was prompt and just a very kind person. She even brought him special treats! I will use her again!”
“My pup, Buddy, just instantly fell in love with Allison. Allison did an amazing job sending photos, walking him, playing with him, and watching over him while we were at wedding events all weekend. She was communicative, loving, prompt, and flexible. I will use her again!”
“We have used Aly two times now, and she does an absolutely amazing job. She would send pictures and very detailed updates. She knew my worries, I have a dog with separation anxiety and trouble eating, and she would make sure to send updates on both of those issues. She left the place cleaner than what I left it. My cat even had an accident on the bed the last day and she washed everything for us! She is very professional and super kind. I have already rehired her for a future date. I highly recommend Aly!”
About: I’ve been pet sitting my neighbors dogs since I was 15. This summer I spent 2 months in Greece taking care of 100+ pound dogs! I have plenty of experience giving animals their medicine and grooming if needed! I am a full time student majoring in Animal Behavior, with many gaps in my schedule to have enough time for your animal! I am the most free on the weekend but have time throughout the weekdays! As I am a student I do not have my family dog with me. However I would love to treat your dog as my own and care for them greatly!

At this time, I do not have the means to board pets at my house for an extended stay but am looking into it in the future.
“Kimberly was fantastic in every way! She was so caring of Sunny who became quite ill while under her care. She handled everything professionally and compassionately. She went over and above, even accompanying our son to the vet.”
“My experience in working with Taylor was excellent. Great communicator and most importantly cared for my 10yr lab while out in a work trip. Taylor went above and beyond what was required as she left the house spotless, and washed bedding and bathroom towels before leaving.”
About: I have had pets my whole life. Currently I have 3 cats, 3 dogs, a hamster, and fish. I have also had bunnies, hermit crabs, and many reptiles. There is not an animal I don't love caring for or being around. I am good with animals of all ages and sizes!! I currently am a homemaker with an open schedule. I am available morning til night and overnights if needed. I have lots of time to spend with your pets! I care for every pet like they’re part of the family.

Tereace did an excellent job while watching our 2 dogs for an extended period of time. She was responsive, communicative, and trustworthy, and brought a calm energy to our home. We returned from vacation to pups that had been well-loved and cared for while we were away. I would love to work with her again. Thank you Tereace!!

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 Pewaukee 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 Pewaukee 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Pewaukee 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 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 .
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.
