“Amber is fantastic! Very reliable, sends photos of our fur babies and updates throughout her stay. She is a great house sitter and leaves our home as it was when we left. I highly recommend Amber if you are in need of a caring, considerate, and excellent communicator to watch your dogs. 🐕 🐾🩵”
“Our Chunks loved hanging out with Rowan! He got lots of excersize, love, and play time and is now sleeping peacefully because he had so much fun! Definitely will be using her again!”
“My experience in working with Taylor was excellent. Great communicator and most importantly cared for my 10yr lab while out in a work trip. Taylor went above and beyond what was required as she left the house spotless, and washed bedding and bathroom towels before leaving.”
About: I have had dogs and helped to care for them for my entire life. Including maintaining proper feeding schedule, walking and exercising dogs, playing with dogs, comforting dogs, etc… I frequently dogsit (including overnight stays) for my nephew puppy (Theo, mini bernedoodle), who is now 11 months old but have been helping with him since we was 2 months old. I will be getting my own mini dachshund puppy in August! :) I currently work full-time as a nanny. However, my schedule will be changing in August, as I will be opening my own coffee shop in September. With my current schedule, I would be available early mornings (before 7/8am usually) or evenings (after 4pm usually). I am wide open on weekends. In August, my schedule will remain the same, though I will also be wide open on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. In September, when the coffee shop opens I will be flexible Saturday-Monday and available after 2:30pm the rest of the week. In your home, I will always follow your established rules for your pet. I am comfortable using harness and leash, overseeing pets in a fenced in area, walking dogs, administering medications, feeding dogs, playing, etc.
“My husband and I decided to take our 1 year old lab, Syrah, on a road trip from Tillamook to Seattle for the weekend. We really wanted to go to a beer release party on Saturday afternoon, but did not want to leave the pup in the car for 4 hours. I put out a request on Rover for someone to meet us at the Brewery and play/exercise the dog while we enjoyed our event. It worked out perfectly!”
“Tara was amazing! I highly recommend her services. This is the first trip we were able to relax because we knew the dogs were in great hands. I loved the frequent updates and photos.”
About: What sets me apart is that I truly care for every dog as if they were my own. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need extra patience and attention. I’m comfortable administering medications and following detailed care instructions, so you can feel confident your pet’s routine will stay consistent while you’re away. I understand that every dog has a unique personality and needs, whether that’s plenty of playtime, long walks, extra cuddles, or a calm environment. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free experience so both you and your pet can have peace of mind. As a teacher, my schedule is very consistent during the school year. If your pet is already used to being home during the day while their owners are at work, my routine is a great fit. Before and after school, I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, walks, playtime, meals, and any medications they need. During weekends and school breaks, I have much more flexibility and can spend even more time with them. My goal is to keep your pet’s routine as normal and comfortable as possible while you’re away. I tailor my care to each pet’s individual needs and routine. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, I follow your instructions closely to help them feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed. For boarding or daycare in my home, I provide a clean, calm environment with plenty of playtime, exercise, affection, fresh water, meals on schedule, and any medications they need. I make sure pets have a comfortable place to rest and receive lots of one-on-one attention. For drop-in visits or house sitting in your home, I maintain your pet’s normal routine by feeding them, taking them for walks or letting them out for potty breaks, providing playtime and companionship, administering medications if needed, and making sure they feel cared for while you’re away. I also treat your home with the same respect and care that I would my own. My priority is making sure every pet feels loved, safe, and happy while giving owners peace of mind that they’re in good hands.
About: I’ve had animals my whole life. when I was a kid I would bring home abandoned kittens and feed them with a dropper. I’ve had a total of 5 dogs throughout my life that were great and loyal fur babies. I will take care of your fur babies as if they were mine. I will work with your routine and what needs to be done for them. Im here to make sure that a beat isn’t missed while you’re gone. I will work around their schedule to make sure everything is done for them correctly. As I mentioned earlier I will work around your animals schedule to make sure they are taken care of. I want them to feel safe and for you to have piece of mind.
About: Hi, I'm Catilyn! 👋🐾 I've been caring for pets for several years professionally, and nothing makes me happier than helping them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their families are away. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, so I take the time to get to know them and provide care that's tailored to their individual needs. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply having a calm and reassuring companion, I'm happy to provide the care that helps them feel at ease. I have experience caring for puppies, adult pets, senior pets, and multi-pet households, and I'm comfortable following detailed care instructions, administering medications when needed, and keeping up with feeding schedules and daily routines. Communication is important to me, so you'll receive regular updates, photos, and messages throughout my visits. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pet is receiving dependable, compassionate care while you're away. I treat every pet as if they were my own, and I would love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family members. I look forward to providing a safe, fun, and loving experience for your pets! Pet care fits very well into my schedule! I work part-time, which allows me plenty of flexibility to accommodate drop-in visits and walks throughout the day. My work shifts are primarily in the evenings, so I'm available for morning, midday, and early afternoon visits most days, as well as full availability on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Sundays. I keep my availability up to date and only accept bookings that I know I can fully commit to. Providing reliable, consistent care is important to me, and I always make sure each pet receives the time, attention, and love they deserve. When caring for pets in your home, my priority is to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I know pets are most comfortable in their own environment, so I take the time to follow your care instructions closely—from feeding schedules and walks to playtime, medications, litter box cleaning, or any special requests. I also treat every home with the same care and respect I would my own. I'll keep things clean and tidy, make sure your pet has fresh food and water, and give them plenty of love and attention based on their personality and comfort level. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or shy and independent, I let them set the pace while making sure they feel safe and cared for. You'll receive regular photo and video updates after each visit so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, healthy, and in good hands while you're away.
“Aimee was great. She made sure the pups were loved the entire time and these two bulldogs want to be with people. Aimee kept the pups happy the entire time. Aimee communicated great and was very responsive if I checked in on things myself. I definitely recommend Aimee...as long as it isn't during a time where I would love her to stay with my pups, lol.”
“Joseph was great! Our dog Rudy has many health issues and a lot of attention with his medications. He did a great job giving him his meds. He was also great with texting us and sending us pictures.”
“The best experience ever. My precious pup just instantly loved her. She played with him and loved on him. She was prompt and just a very kind person. She even brought him special treats! I will use her again!”
“I’m so glad we found Marinda to care for our Toby! She’s super communicative, caring, and just overall a wonderful person. Everything you could ask for in a pet caretaker. Looking forward to many more visits from her!”
“Tereace was so good with Cleo!! She took her on so many adventures in the wild. Sent some of the best photos I’ve seen of Cleo and accommodated all of her needs! She was super responsive and sent lots of updates and photos! I’ll definitely be using Tereace again!!”
“Sam took excellent care of my dogs and home. I was happy to get pics and updates, as well as to come home to a clean house. He even washed the bedsheets ? I recommend Sam for both house and pet sitting!”
“Aly was wonderful. From her initial meeting with my two senior dogs to the day of/overnight stay, she took the time to understand and take notes as to what was expected as to the dog's daily routines, schedules, food, medicine needs, sleeping arrangements, etc. I would highly recommend her. Aly's love for animals was clearly demonstrated by her actions in taking care of and making sure my dogs were comfortable and safe during her stay. Thanks again !!”
“Dominique did an exceptional job house sitting my two large dogs for 3 nights. His communication was consistent and reliable. I appreciated his attention to detail for each dog and their unique quirks. My home was just how I left it upon my return. Water bowl was full and my pups were happy! I fully recommend Dominique and have already booked another sitting with him.”
“Barbara was an amazing Rover. She was very communicative, accommodating. and demonstrated a true caring for our puppy. We grew to trust her implicitly with his well-being as well as taking care of our home. Our dog Duncan was a little spicy. He is a 10 month old puppy who definitely kept her on her toes, kept her up at night, but she never lost her positive attitude and ability to see him for the adorable rambunctious little guy he is. We cannot recommend Barb enough for your needs, and we will have no hesitation to use her in the future.”
“Fatima was amazing to work with. I booked her on short notice before the holiday when my original plans fell through. She offered and made it a priority to come do a meet & greet on days notice. I’m always a little nervous when using a new sitter especially when they stay at mine, but my mind was at ease immediately when I met her. I could tell she has a big heart and really cares for animals. She followed all instructions and she went above and beyond spending time with Diesel doing his favorite activities (walks, playing fetch, swimming, etc.). She was incredibly communicative and sent a lot of pictures and videos which was much appreciated. As a former Rover sitter and a frequent user of Rover’s services, I can confidently say that Fatima is one of the best sitters I’ve come across. I will definitely be using her in the future and have already recommended her to others looking for sitters. Thank you Fatima!!!”

We had a great experience with Sydnie! Communication was excellent from start to finish, and we received regular updates, photos, and messages that gave us peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that our dog Layla was well cared for and getting lots of attention. We really appreciated the reliability and responsiveness, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. Highly recommend!

Catherine was great! She came by to meet Elvis and Luciana ahead of time, which made us feel really confident. She sent updates, asked thoughtful questions to make sure she understood what the dogs needed, and took them on walks. You can tell she truly cares. We would definitely book with her again.
Mackenzie was amazing with our dog, Rosie! She has a ton of energy, and Mackenzie made sure she got plenty of walks, playtime, and attention. We got so many photo updates, and it was clear Rosie was having the best time. We came home to a happy (and tired!) pup!

FAQs for House Sitting - Waukesha
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Waukesha on Rover is $38.85 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 House Sitting 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 1,331 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Waukesha. 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 Waukesha 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 Waukesha 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 Waukesha 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Waukesha. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
