“Scott and Ashley (and kids!) were amazing. We'd never boarded our two dogs anywhere so we were quite nervous about leaving them, but they kept us updated with regular photos and responded quickly to any message. The dogs got regular playtime and lots of snuggles and clearly became part of the family. We could not have been happier with this experience! I cannot recommend them highly enough. Thank you!!!”
“My dog had the BEST weekend away from me!! Dropping my dog at Dana's was like dropping him at the Ritz! Dana was so gracious, welcoming and accommodating- making sure she knew my dog's preferences and comforts. Her two pugs were adorable and Sammy seemed to enjoy having them as playmates! I loved all the pictures and updates. My sporting dog can be a handful but Dana seemed to manage his care with ease and kindness. Her backyard & deck is beautiful. She is a gem of a dog lover! I reside in Illinois. I needed her services while traveling...I may need to pay her to "relocate" ha-ha. Thank you, Dana. My dog transitioned home beautifully. You're the Best!”
“Brittany was great! My pup came home happy and actually seemed like she didn’t want to leave ? Brittany was great about communication and sent me plenty of photos of my pup during her stay. I would highly recommend her.”
“Katy and DJ are wonderful sitters! We are so at peace leaving our dog Milo in their care. They send us frequent updates and pictures. Milo is worn out by the time he comes home. He loves his walks and playing with their pup! I would highly recommend them!”
“My dog was apparently incredibly bad with Lauren (NOT HER WORDS. She was very sweet about telling me about his behaviors). Not because of her, but because of it being his first time being away from us and not knowing what to expect. She was patient and communicative with us. She sent a ton of pictures and videos and talked through any problems that's arose. I would definitely work with Lauren in the future.”
“We wanted a quick Labor Day getaway. George came to live with us only 3 weeks before and I had never gotten a sitter for any of my dogs before. I was a little nervous but Angie was great! From meeting George, sharing her process and communicating while we were away with messages and pictures. I was relieved George was getting the personalized attention he needed. Thanks Angie!”
“Joanne was a LIFE SAVIOR ! I had a last minute cancellation and she responded right away and was able to help take care of Atlas. She was super communicative, shared great photos, and took amazing care of Atlas incredibly impromptu! Thank you thank you thank you !”
“My dog absolutely loves Kandice. She was amazing. She’s had my dog for boarding for 3 weeks and I’ve been able to pick my dog up and play with her and drop her back off after. Very accommodating and loves and cares for my dog like her own!”
“Jenifer took great care of Hazelnut while we were on vacation. Hazelnut is a little shy but took to Jenifer right away. Jenifer is very responsive and sent us lots of cute pictures while we were away. A+”
“She was absolutely amazing! Super reliable, kind, and treated my dog like her own. I felt totally at peace knowing my Theodore was in such good hands. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving dog sitter! She sends picture updates and is very responsive ❤️❤️❤️”
“Our puppy had a great first time with Doreen. She sent daily updates and photos to keep us up to date with how he was doing. We felt very comfortable leaving our puppy with Doreen for the weekend”
“Nikki was wonderful! My dog loved her and had the best stay! She was so kind, helpful in answering my questions as a first time Rover user, attentive, and again my dog loved her! Thanks again and we will book again whenever we need to!”
“We have a very active puppy (Loki) and wanted to bring him to the beach with us. Kim was very loving toward our dog and we were able to pick him up and take him to the beach and drop him off after so we could go back to our hotel. I loved that Loki was always happy to see Kim when we dropped him off. That meant a lot to me. We will use Kim again. Loki can’t wait to come back and play with her own wonderful pack.”
About: I have been living with and caring for animals my entire life. I learned from an early age how to care for and train animals. I can train your puppies on potty training, teaching them new tricks. I taught my dog how to use a doggy doorbell to let me when he needs to go potty. I also grew up around family who were experienced vet techs, who have taught me how to care for common pet injuries, etc. I'm currently beginning training for substitute teaching. But otherwise have a pretty open schedule. So I can be available most times for your pet care needs. I can let your dog outside or take them for walks while you're working so they can get out when you're not home. If you're in Waukesha county I can take them to the dog park and get them some exercise. I can sirens some time teaching them tricks. I'm open to what care you'd like your pup to receive.
“Christina was wonderful! She kept in contact with us and sent us super cute pics. Her dogs were very well behaved and I think our dog had a blast with them. Thank you so much, Christina!”
“Scott and his dog Lucy were a great match for Roo! I received multiple picture updates and he was great at communicating. We met up beforehand to ensure a good match, and it was clear Scott has a natural way with dogs. Would gladly rebook!”

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Waukesha on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding 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 Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .

Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
84% of Waukesha sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Waukesha landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Waukesha home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Waukesha.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Waukesha sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in WI ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
