“Grace was fantastic! She was caring, compassionate, and treated my fur babies as if they were here own. She followed my instructions to a T, was quick respond with any concerns or clarification that needed to be addressed, and I will absolutely be using her again in the future!”
“Sadie was wonderful for our week long trip away from our dogs and 2 cats. She came twice daily and spent an hour with them, letting them out, playing, and refreshing their food and water. We have used a boarding center in the past, which was fine, but very expensive and one of our dogs is recovering from a leg injury and was much more comfortable at home instead. We loved getting photo updates every day and it was easy to communicate. She is trustworthy, caring and kind. We will certainly book her again for future needs! 🐕 🐶 🐈”
About: I grew up around cats my whole life and have had my own dog since I was 18. He unfortunately was put down a few months ago. He was a boarder collie and feet Pyrenees mix and was the bestest friend! I love animals so much and I cant wait to meet so many new friends! I work part time and have classes in the evenings (6-9) on MTTH. I can be flexible and make whatever you need work. Weekends I am open! I had my dog in a home for a few years with a fenced yard and then had to move to an apartment. My dog adjusted well because I lived near work and was able to hang out with him in the afternoon.
“Amanda has been amazing with my dog! She walks him three times a week, and I couldn’t be happier with the care and attention she provides. She is reliable, caring, and clearly loves what she does. It gives me peace of mind knowing my dog is in such good hands. I really appreciate everything she does and would highly recommend Amanda to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dependable dog walker!”
About: I have been a pet owner my whole life and have volunteered at a shelter, I adore dogs and cats alike. Family has referred to me in the past as a “dog whisperer” and I can promise your pets will be my number one responsibility. I am a full time remote student so I am flexible in my schedule and can be mobile if needed, I have my own transportation and love hanging out at dog parks as much as your dog does. I am a full time student and have lecture times that do change by the semester, but as I am a remote student I can log in anywhere so scheduling can be extremely flexible, your pet will be my number one priority. I can easily follow a schedule or a routine for your fur baby, can play or take for walks or play fetch, and will provide as much attention as is required to keep you fuzz ball happy and thriving so you don’t have to worry!
About: I’ve taken care of my family’s dogs growing up. I’ve just recently got my own puppy, so I know how to best care for dogs of all ages! I’m currently working part time and on winter break so I have plenty of time to hang out with your pets! I’m mostly available during the week or Saturday after 4. Please let me know at least a week ahead of time so I can check my schedule! I’ll make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I provide regular walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of cuddles. I’ll also send many updates and photos so you know your pet is doing well!
“Outstanding service! I was so nervous about leaving my 2 cats for a week, especially since she needs daily medication, but they absolutely crushed it. Every single instruction I left was followed perfectly, and they managed to give her her meds every single day for 7 days straight without a single issue. I got great updates, and my cat was totally relaxed when I got home. It’s such a relief finding someone this reliable and detail-oriented. Will 100% book again!”
“Alex was wonderful with Abbey. She was extremely attentive to her and spent a lot of time making sure she had some activity and lot of love while we were on vacation. We will definitely be hiring her again. I would highly recommend her services. Her price was extremely fair and she went above and beyond making sure Abbey had extra walk time and provided us with lots of pictures.”
“Yolanda was wonderful. Very thorough. I wasn't afraid at all because I knew she'd be there to take care of KIDDEY! I would definitely suggest Rover to a friend and have them choose Yolanda”
“Our pets love Olivia! She gives them so much attention and love. We had not used a dog-sitter before and we appreciate so much the ease and availability this app makes available. We recommend both Olivia and Rover!”
“Sara has been a blessing for my cat and I. My cat used to be very anxious when I come home due my work hours; however, since having Sara's drop-ins she is very calm, sweet and playful when I come home-!!. Sara is very sweet and has a calm demeanor. She follows the given instructions , responds to messages on time, send you awesome pictures and videos and you can tell she tries to take care of your pet like one of her own. I would highly recommend her!!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 423 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Waukau. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Waukau. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
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.
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.
