About: Hi! I’m a reliable, attentive animal lover with years of experience caring for cats and dogs of all ages and personalities. As a detail-oriented professional, I take pride in following routines closely, providing plenty of love and attention, and keeping pet owners updated with photos and messages while they’re away. I treat every pet like they’re my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Whether your pet loves playtime, cuddles, or just a consistent routine, I’m committed to providing dependable, personalized care you can trust. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, especially during the summer while I’m off from my full-time job. I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide visits throughout the day, stick to your pet’s normal routine, and give them plenty of attention and care. I enjoy spending time with animals, so caring for pets is something I genuinely look forward to each day. I always care for pets as if they were my own. In a client’s home, I follow their pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication (if needed), and plenty of love and attention. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos for peace of mind. In my own home, your pet would be welcomed into a calm, safe environment with my two friendly cats. I make sure every pet feels comfortable, secure, and well cared for while they’re with me.
“Mochi loved his second daycare day. Maria and Nayibe provide the best of both worlds—lots of new doggy friends to play with in a comfortable and caring home environment. He will be back regularly! 😊”
“Lauren was absolutely phenomenal with Rory! He struggles with separation anxiety, but she made him feel comfortable and he warmed right up to her. He even ran straight inside on their second day together, ready to play! Lauren is very responsive and takes lots of great pictures too. I couldn’t recommend her more! We’ll definitely be reaching out again in the future. Thanks again, Lauren!”
“Just like everyone else, Teddy and I love her! Great home away from home for your fur baby. ? We’ll be coming back over and over again. I’m pretty sure he would’ve been happy to move right in with her permanently ❤️”
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.
“Savannah did a fantastic job with my puppy, Junie! She was patient with introducing Junie to her two dogs, and everyone ended up getting along well. They got to play at the dog park and Savannah even gave Junie a bath after! Looking forward to having Junie stay with her when I’m traveling.”
About: 20+ years of experience, personally and helping others out! From Great Danes and Cane Corsos to Pugs and Pits, I've handled it all! My best guy (Ruger, my German Shepherd) is no longer with me and I'd love to give your furry pal some company!! I'm very respectful and considerate. I have trained dogs in the past and believe it is all about positive energy 😊 I work from home Monday through Friday and I make my own hours so I am very flexible with days and times. Also available on weekends! I have a fenced in side and back yard I also live close to several parks and I love going on walks and car rides!
“Edith is great! She was very caring and considerate for our dog. She offered to meet us a few days before the actual appointment so we could go over things and get comfortable. She takes stylish photos and videos of your pet and will send them when you are away!”
“Such a great sitter ! Maverick enjoyed spending time with her, and she kept me updated from the start of the day till the end. She was also very accommodating with my early start work day which is a huge plus for me. Maverick was ready to go to bed when we got back to the house. She also made sure that she understood all of his needs during our meet and greet,”
“Mary and Hanna are AWESOME! We were so worried about leaving our baby alone so we looked into other alternatives. Leaving him with them was the best choice we could have made. Loads of cute pics and the opportunity for him to socialize with other pups. Would completely recommend Mary and Hanna to anyone looking for the best pup care!??”

“Our dog had an awesome day with Louise! She was great with little Stuart and so easy to work with for us. She accommodated a long day with our schedules and is so kind. She gave our dog personal care and very loving for our needy little puppy. We plan to book with Louise again, can’t recommend her enough!”
About: Hello! My family and I love animals. We've been on Rover since January 2024! We currently have 2 indor cats and have backyard chickens (in coop) that are pets and lay eggs for us. We live in a quiet Hartland neighborhood in a cul-de-sac that is very low traffic. Part of our yard is fenced for play and potty breaks, and I love taking walks around our neighborhood. The majority of the week, my husband is working from home or I am home. The longest your pet may be left is 6 hours if staying with us during the work week. So usually someone is there to spend time with your pet! We are available any day of the week for boarding. I live in a quiet cul-de-sac. I always practice sit-stay when opening the door to prevent bolting out. Part of our yard is fenced and outside the fence your pet will always be leashed. If I am away for a short period and it's needed for safety or per your preference, we do have a large crate and an enclosed pet gate.
“Ashley was great! She communicated with me the entire time Asher was with her! She sent pictures and he loved playing with her wonderful furry babies! I definitely recommend if you guys are looking for a sitter who loves your pet as much as you do!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Waukesha
We were visiting friends in the area and wanted to go with them to Milwaukee for the day. My request for dog care was the evening before so kind of last minute. Scott took our dogs on that short notice. They were very well cared for, played with other dogs also being cared for. We picked them up tired and happy. We couldn’t have asked for more.

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Waukesha
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Waukesha on Rover is $37.45 per day (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care 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 Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Waukesha commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 569 sitters in Waukesha, 83% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
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.
