“These are the best people - our second time using them and they go above and beyond to care for our sweet boy. Daily walks, car rides for pup cups, adorable pictures, and a confidence that they love dogs and will treat them well. My kids keep saying that this is dog summer camp. Don’t think twice about booking!”
“Couldn’t be happier with having Angie sit for our dog, Drake! He was well taken care of and we felt at ease with him in her hands. We can’t wait to book with her again!”
“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!”
“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.”
“Maria so helpful when I needed a last minute dogsitter. Her house is so clean and looks like a dog palace with a big yard and heated dog pad. Great communication as well. Highly recommend”
“Jennifer was amazing from start to Finish. It was my first time leaving my puppy and she put me right at ease and I felt very confident that he was in good hands. Jax had a great time, lots of walks and attention and I was sent regular updates and photos. I would highly recommend Jennifer and I know Jax can't wait to go back and stay.”
“Joanne was absolutely wonderful with our dog, she was very responsive to our request, accommodating to our time windows, and kept in communication with us the entire time we were gone. She was so loving and welcoming to our dog that he didn’t even want to come home! Highly recommended!”
About: I haven't been without a dog since age nine, when my parents gave us our first opportunity to develop a bond with a pet, Abby, our beloved English setter. She died the year I graduated from college, and since then I have had two of my own dogs: Gretta, a chocolate lab whom I owned from age 6 weeks until her death at age 13, and Lillie, a springer spaniel who was basically a life-long puppy exploding with energy and a fervor for running, jumping, and all things adventure-related. Sadly, Lillie died in June (at age 13), and we miss her so much. My husband and I like to travel, so I am not quite ready to adopt another dog yet, but in the meantime, I would love to pet-sit for other dogs so as to be around furry friends who bring so much joy to my life. I'm a teacher, so I'm mainly interested in walking and caring for pets on the weekends and during the summer months, but I can be available other times as well depending on my schedule. My job is to provide love, attention, and a safe and enriching learning environment to any pet in my care. I accommodate as needed depending on the needs of the individual animal.
“Tracy is great! Good communication and pics throughout the stay. Juniper seemed to enjoy his time with his new dog friends. Super convenient, reasonable price and easy to book. I appreciate having my dog as a part of a family vs. a pet daycare or corporate pet boarding. My dog appreciates the kind of attention that he gets with Tracy. Definitely recommend!”
“She was very nice. She responded very fast and sent lots of pictures. She gave updates everyday and let me know how everything was going. Would definitely book with her again”
“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 ❤️❤️❤️”
About: I have had dogs in my family for 30+ years. I was lucky enough to spend the last 13 years with my soul dog, Luka, a stubborn and reactive pitbull. I work full time but have flexibility to work from home and keep your pets company. My schedule is always changing but usually flexible. If I do not appear available, it never hurts to ask! Pets are like humans in my house. I welcome pets on furniture and on the beds. My home is pet free and kid free so they will get all of the attention.
“Olivia was the best! She is kind and gentle and just loved our KC!! Olivia was able to give KC her meds without any issue. She was able to get her to eat! KC was definitely spoiled by Olivia! Thank you for taking such great care of our baby!”
“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”
“I recently adopted my dog Bruno and he still can be a little skittish at times. When I went on vacation I didn't want to have to board him at a kennel where there might be a little too much simulation for him. Nikki and her family were perfect for him. He stayed with them for a week and I'm confident he was well taken care of because when it came time to pick him up he almost seemed hesitant to leave with me lol. Could tell he was comfortable in the house which says a lot. Will definitely be using Nikki again. Thank you!”
About: I, being a full time dog mom and a home maker can take care of your dog dedicatedly. I firmly believe that our pet is our baby. I can provide utmost care and affection to your dog and cat. Since I know the importance of leash walking, I can walk your dog twice a day and can provide consistent pee breaks. Your dog will feel at home while he is with me. They are allowed on couch and bed. The treats will be offered periodically for your fur baby. I am looking for some furry friends. I recently lost my fur baby Buddy in May 2026 but his memories made us get a new fur baby Kisna who is a 4.5lbs Pomchon and very social. Kisna is great with people including children of all ages and small sized puppies and dogs. If your pup is ok with small sized pup, please consider me for your boarding and petsitting needs. I am currently in between the jobs, hence have a lot of time to cuddle the fur babies and make them feel special. Please check my calendar for availability. I only offer petsitting and petboarding through my home. Not available for petsitting at owners' home. I would prefer a meet and greet before accepting to provide care for your pet because they can sense people's energy better than humans. I have been taking care of my furbaby since 11 years. Love everything about dogs but comfortable to handle small and medium sized dogs.
“Sarah was absolutely incredible! We were a bit nervous leaving our pup for a week but Sarah took such great care of her. She sent us regular updates and photos which put our minds at ease. Sarah is so professional, kind, and an excellent communicator. I highly recommend her and we will use her again in the future!”
“Maddie loved her time at Angela’s house. She came home tired out for sure. Angela is super responsive and set several pictures keeping us updated. Will certainly rebook with her!”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Waukesha is $45
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Waukesha
We booked for Kandice to take care of our dog Nix for nearly three weeks as we traveled internationally for our wedding and honeymoon. She had exceptional communication and sent us so many pictures and videos of our dog which made us feel so comforted and reassured as this was the longest we’d been away from her! It’s clear that Nix was relaxed with her and that she was well taken care of. I would recommend Kandice to anyone, and plan to book with her again for any of our future needs!
Lauren is the best! She took care of Winter really well. I received updates from her and did not have to worry at all while we were on vacation. She was so kind and flexible to to have Winter stay one more night with her. Thank you so much Lauren Koda and Noah. ❤️
Remy was so happy to stay when Dana and her Pugs. She had such a great time playing with the other dogs. When I picked her up, she was extremely excited and was well taken care of. Dana is an absolute joy. She sent pictures and updates every day while I was away. I was able to enjoy my vacation and not have to worry about my baby. We will definitely book Dana again.

Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
85% of sitters in Waukesha can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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.
