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.

About: I was lucky to grow up with lots of pets and always had an obsession with animals. My Mom did Rover for 6 years and I went from assisting her to loving it enough to go full time. If you want a pet sitter that loves and cares about your pets as much as you do, i’m your guy!😁 I’m currently looking to do pet sitting full time. I’m accepting both recurring and as needed clients. I am very flexible so any questions feel free to ask I include a visit update and picture of your pet sent to you at the end of every visit. When walking dogs, I make sure to never leave the house without the leash secured. Any medications, special diets, general likes and dislikes your pets may have, silly quirks; we will work together to make sure all needs are met and importantly that your pet feels happy and comfortable too!

About: I grew up in a household with dogs, cats, and many other animals, so caring for pets has always been a part of my daily life. I recently worked in a vet clinic for many months, which gave me greater exposure to animal health and responsible pet care. I also cared for a senior cat for many years and gained experience managing medical and nutritional needs, administering medications, and paying close attention to changes in behavior or health. I currently have all day on most days to do to drop-ins and dog walks! I am available after 4:30 for house sitting, depending on what your pups’ needs are. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and individual needs so they can feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I’m responsible, attentive, and happy to follow detailed instructions, including medication, feeding, and other special care.
About: Hi! I live in Pewaukee with my two cats Gillian & Ginger who are brother and sister but don't look anything alike one is a big black cat and the other one is little gold one.

I love all animals I have had dogs, cats, birds, and they all have given my joy, laughter and comfort in my life.

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

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!!

The average cost of House Sitting in Pewaukee is $44 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $53 per night.

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.
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 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
