About: I have had our dog Bosco for four years and he is the best boy ever. I have also watched foster dogs for my friend who manages a shelter in neenah and I have watched other friends dogs in the past. I get done in the afternoon so I can walk dogs in the afternoon and check on cats in the afternoon. I’m also free on weekends and I have off every government holiday. Unfortunately taking pets into my apartment is not ideal for our household, with that being said, I have absolutely no issues going to your home either to let the dogs out for play time and walks or even over night. Same with cats, going to your home is better suited for me!
“Sarah was phenomenal! All 3 dogs warmed right up to her immediately, and she did a perfect job with all the detailed instructions we left her; including giving time-sensitive anti-seizure medications.”
About: I’ve grown up with 5-6 dogs always in the household. I have dealt with ranges of dogs as far as puppies, chihuahuas to whippets, Aussies, German shepherds, Dobermans, and even pugs. I have quite the experience in different kinds of dogs and the type of personalities they may have and am always up for a challenge. I’ve been a part of all that as well as growing up learning about every breed. Animals have been my family's life at home and for work whether tiny or huge! I’ve taken care of dogs since I was younger and have done everything in the book of what it takes to care for a dog as far as walking, giving them their food and water by the scheduled time, being aware and looking out for any outlying concerns through the dogs behavior, bonding with the dog to give a comfortable setting, bathing them, and simply just showing them love, as any animal deserves the same respect humans get! (: I am currently working part time as a counter person at a tattoo shop about 1 day a week, so I have availability during the week and some weekends. I have my own car, so I don't mind driving to take care of animals! I currently live in an apartment, so I am unable to bring animals into my home. I am willing to visit your home as often as needed to walk or feed your animals.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 15 years and truly enjoy building trust with each animal I work with. I have experience with in-home dog sitting for families while they are on vacation, as well as daytime dog walking and regular drop-in visits. I’ve even cared for and traveled with pets of A-list celebrities! Over the years, I’ve primarily cared for medium and large dogs of all personalities, and energy levels, and I’m comfortable adapting to each pet’s unique needs and routine. I take pride in being reliable, attentive, and calm in every situation, making sure each dog feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owner is away. My goal is always to provide consistent care, plenty of attention, and peace of mind for pet parents. I’m currently working part-time, so will have plenty of time to care for your pet. Pet care fits easily into my daily and weekly routine because I intentionally build my schedule around the time and attention pets need. I prioritize consistent visits, walks, and check-ins so each pet gets reliable care and lots of attention. At home I have a black lab! I care for pets as if they were my own, with a focus on safety, consistency, and lots of attention. I follow their usual routines as closely as possible with feeding schedules, walks, and playtime so they experience minimal disruption.
“Rowan was a fantastic dog sitter. He was very friendly and accommodating and kept up really great communication. Our dog was very well cared for and we will absolutely be looking to hire him again.”
About: I have over 20 years of experience handling dogs of all shapes and sizes. For over 12 years, I managed and ran a 48 kennel boarding, training and daycare facility. I can handle almost any dog and can teach dogs a wide variety of skills. I currently compete with my 2 dogs n Schutzhund and enjoy the process of teaching them to be better balanced canine citizens. I have a free schedule and would love to hang out with some pups during the day. I do a lot with my own dogs but have LOTS of experience taking take of other people’s dogs and would love to hang with them. I am a firm balanced believer in crate training. I can easily adapt to your pets’ schedule and can administer most medications, special foods, etc.
About: I’ve taken care of a variety of pets for 20 years. Old pets included. I have no issues with giving medication needed for pets or bathing them if needed. I am a stay at home mom of 1! So I have plenty of free time to hangout and take care of cute fur babies! I have a fenced in yard that allows for safe roaming around. Plenty of green grass to roll around and enjoy. Great neighborhood to take dog or cats on walks.
About: I have taken care of many of my friends pets since I was 12 which includes staying overnight at their homes when they are gone for weeks. I do long and short care sitting for pets. I love to spend time with pets and making sure they get the care they deserve. I am currently not working right now but will have a part time job soon. I will talk with the owners and work out a good schedule that will work best for all. Growing up we have used an invisible fence and radio collars to keep our dogs in our yard. We made sure to check in on them periodically while they were outside. While I'm taking care of my friends pets, I would play inside and outside with them, go on walks with them, and make sure they get the best care.
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments since I was young. Friends, neighbors, and family regularly trust me to feed, walk, play with, and check in on their pets. I’m comfortable with puppies who need patience and training reinforcement, as well as senior dogs who require a gentler approach and extra attention. I treat every pet like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away. I currently work full time. I’m available for boarding on weekends and most weekdays after 2:30pm. During stays, pets are rarely left alone for long periods, and I make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and consistency in their routine. I’m happy to accommodate feeding schedules, medication times, and specific care instructions to keep your pet comfortable. I have an unfenced yard and one friendly, well-socialized dog who can provide companionship if your pet enjoys being around others. I always prioritize slow introductions to ensure everyone feels safe and comfortable. If needed, I can easily crate your dog and provide separate spaces for rest and downtime. In your home, I respect your space and follow all care instructions carefully. My goal is to create a calm, safe, and loving environment where your pet feels at home.
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and caring for them has always been a big part of my daily routine. I currently have three dogs and five cats, so I’m very comfortable handling multiple pets with different personalities and needs. Through my own pets, I have experience with feeding schedules, walking dogs, cleaning litter boxes, administering basic care, and making sure animals feel safe and comfortable. I’m used to high-energy pets as well as shy or more independent ones. Because I care for several animals at home, I understand how important it is to trust the person looking after your pet. I will treat your pets with the same patience, attention, and care that I give my own Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. I currently care for three dogs and five cats at home, so feeding, walks, playtime, and general care are things I do every day. Because of that, adding pet visits or walks into my schedule feels very natural for me. I’m used to managing different feeding schedules, making sure pets get exercise and attention, and keeping their environment clean and comfortable. I enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe and cared for while their owners are away. When caring for pets, I always try to keep their routine as close as possible to what they are used to. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully for feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any other specific needs their pet may have. During visits, I make sure pets have fresh water, are fed properly, get exercise or playtime, and receive plenty of attention so they feel comfortable while their owner is away. I also keep their space clean, such as scooping litter boxes or cleaning up after dogs during walks. Since I care for several pets at home myself, I understand how important it is to be patient and attentive with animals of different personalities. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, cared for, and relaxed until their owner returns.
“Bryanna took extra care with Jackson. We had lost his buddy on June 1 and this was the first time I had left him for more than a few hours. Jackson was happy and well cared for. I’m so happy with the care Bryanna provides.”
“Emily did a fantastic job of caring for all 3 of my animals, watering the indoor and outdoor plants as well as leaving my home just as clean as she found it. I will definitely use her again in the future!”
About: I have 4 years experience of working as a vet tech! I’ve also worked for a boarding kennel, a groomer, animal control and I also have some experience with training! I’m currently working full time but I’m available all day on Tuesdays for walks or drop-ins. And whenever for pet/house sitting. I would love to some day do week night pack walks with multiple dogs! You can trust that I will let you know of any issues with either your pet or your home. If I’m concerned of any behavioral issues or health issues, even the smallest of things, I will let you know immediately. With my experience in veterinary medicine, I have good judgment of weather a health concern can wait until you’ve returned home or if I need to take the pet to the vet immediately.
About: Hi I’m Lauren! I am excited to help some families out and give them peace of mind with caring for their fur-babies!! I can’t wait! I am currently working as a nanny! This would be great for me as my schedule gives me free time in the mornings and evenings! I have plenty of time to play, feed, and spend some time with your fur-babies!! I am able to care for your pets as needed! If that’s walks, play time, or just a potty break during the day, I’m your girl!
About: I am an experienced and reliable pet and house sitter with a deep love and respect for all animals. I understand that leaving your pets and home in the care of someone else can be stressful, which is why I strive to provide the highest level of care and attention to ensure your peace of mind while you are away. I have over 4 years of professional pet sitting experience. In addition, I have had dogs my entire life. I have experience with some dog training, medication administration, puppy care, etc... I am a college student. I have a flexible schedule and I am able to accommodate last minute bookings as needed. I am available on weekends and weekdays. I am happy to follow any specific routines or instructions you have in place for your pets to ensure their comfort and well-being. In addition to caring for your pets, I also offer house sitting services such as bringing in mail, watering plants, and taking care of any other tasks that may need to be done while you are away. I understand that each and every pet is unique, with their own personality, needs, and preferences. From high energy dogs (and puppies), who love endless playtime to low energy dogs (and senior dogs), I've got you covered! Whether its daily walks, feeding routines, administering medications, or providing companionship, I'm committed to tailoring my services to suit your pets individual requirements. I approach each pet sitting opportunity with genuine love and affection for animals.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 218 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Waukau. 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 Waukau 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 Waukau 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 Waukau 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.
