About: Hi, I'm Max! I've been a pet lover ever since I was a kid. Currently, I take care of my childhood dog, Jordy, who's about 19 years old and has several health issues. He's a sweet loving rescue dog, and I wouldn't trade him for the world. I am experienced with giving dogs medications, both liquid and solid, and cleaning them as needed. I understand that every dog has their own needs, and I am willing and able to give every dog the love they need, want, and deserve. PLEASE NOTE: Starting September through December of 2026, I will be booked every Tuesday afternoon & evening, as well as all day every Wednesday. I just graduated from Carthage College, so I have the entire summer to care for your pet! Whether that means staying overnight or walking them a few times a day, I'm ready to give them the care they need. I will make sure your pet is safe and secure in your home, making sure physical boundaries are maintained and secure. A safe pet is a happy pet!
About: Hi my name's Sammie! I'm absolutely obsessed with animals and am working towards a Zoology degree at UWYO. I have a rabbit and 2 dogs, volunteered walking dogs at an animal shelter, and worked at a pet resort that took care of dogs and cats. I have experience with many different dog breeds and personalities. I am comfortable with cats but don't have as much experience and infinite knowledge revolving their care as I do dogs. I am working full time so I do most walks and sittings for my days off, but am also open to walks and drop ins after work I care for all pets I come across as my own prioritizing safety for them, other animals, and me. I love on them unconditionally and they seem to love me too.
“Ashley has done several drop ins with Ace, Leo, and Zeus.. I enjoy the fact that’s she is always early, and is always willing to go the extra mile for our munchkins! We are so grateful to have a sitter for our pets! Thanks again.”

“Sandy has been an absolute blessing! She is prompt, reliable, trustworthy, quick to respond to messages, and most importantly, takes the best care of Daisy (my dog). I don’t know what we would do without her! I highly recommend booking Sandy, you won't be disappointed.”


About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 20. Always owned a dog and they have been emotional support animals for me. I enjoy playing, cuddling and taking them for walks!! I currently work part time so I spend the majority of time at home. I will be spending that time walking and playing with the dogs. I don't have a fenced yard but I have a tie out but I usually just take them outside with me on a leash.

About: Lifelong animal lover with experience caring for both cats and dogs. I currently have pets of my own and understand the importance of providing loving, reliable, and attentive care. Whether your pet needs playtime, feeding, medication reminders, or just some extra cuddles, I’ll treat them like family. Pet care fits into my daily routine by making sure animals are fed, have fresh water, and are checked on in the morning and evening. I also include time for play and attention each day and stay consistent with any specific care needs. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, fresh water, walks or litter box cleaning, and any medications if needed. I also make sure they get attention, playtime, and a clean, safe environment, and I respect the owner’s instructions in their home.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since a young age in my own home and have dog sat for several families as a teenager and adult. I like to play and walk dogs and take care of their needs. I do have experience with puppies. I also have experience with cats, rabbits, Guinea pigs, hamsters, gerbils and fish. I work from home, so I have some flexibility/availability during the morning and afternoon and am free in the evenings. I am also available most weekends. I love getting to know dogs and other pets. I will learn from the owners about their pets and observe their behaviors to see works best for them in our interactions.
“Samantha was a wonderful pet sitter who took excellent care of my two cats while I was away. Although my furry companions tend to be a bit shy to new visitors, Samantha was able to make them feel comfortable and safe within the first day! She maintained my cats' daily feeding and play schedules and was extremely professional throughout the entire booking, sending me frequent updates and cute pictures of my fur babies. Knowing my pets are safe and well taken care of is my highest priority when traveling, and I feel Samantha did a superb job at keeping my cats happy and stress free while I was away! I would highly recommend her services and would love to have her back in the future!”


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 full-time evening shift, which allows me plenty of flexibility to accommodate drop-in visits and walks throughout the day. My work shifts are primarily in the evenings 5 pm - 1 am Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, & Saturday. My work schedule can be adjusted based on the type of booking needed with advance notice. I'm available for morning, midday, and early afternoon visits, 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.
“Jen was wonderful. It gave us peace of mind knowing our two dogs were being cared for in our home. We looked into boarding but felt our dogs would be stressed from the experience. Jen coming over to let them out a couple of times, feeding them, and giving them comfort during a thunderstorm was perfect. We highly recommend her service.”

About: Hi! My name is Marinda and I chose to be apart of Rover because I have always loved animals. I serve as a manager at a local veterinary hospital and have years of experience when it comes to dog watching. I’m hoping this is an opportunity I’ll be able to take care of others dogs! I have always enjoyed all types of dogs and seem to get along with them all as well. Hope to be able to be apart of your pets life! I am a full time employee who would love to have a second job but doesn’t have the time for it, so, I fill in my easy days with Rover! It’s easy to manage with my own hours! First and foremost I read about the pet and what the owners have to say about them. This will give me a good idea for what I am getting into when I enter the owners house. I will already know how the dogs are going to act and I will be prepared. I never leave the doors unlocked/open unless advised by the owner. I will do exactly what the owner has said to do. I will always double check a dog is secured with their leash when going outside, I will also be aware of the weather and how that might switch the dogs needs when going outside.

About: What makes me different from many other pet sitters is the level of time, attention, and care I’m able to give each pet. As a stay-at-home mom, I’m home most of the day, which means your pet won’t be left alone for long periods of time. They’ll have someone around to make sure they’re comfortable, safe, and getting the attention they deserve. I also understand that every pet has their own personality and routine. Some pets love playtime and activity, while others prefer quiet companionship. I take the time to get to know each pet so I can care for them in a way that makes them feel relaxed and happy. I treat every pet like they are part of the family. My goal is not just to “watch” your pet, but to make sure they feel loved, cared for, and comfortable while you’re away. I know how important pets are to their owners, and I always do my best to provide dependable, kind, and attentive care you can trust I am currently a stay at home mother of a 1 almost 2 year old and have another son that is 6 but in school full days. I also am in school at the moment taking online classes for my associates degree and have a lot of extra time on my hands and would like to make my own money for my family. I am able to take care of your pets at your own home, I am willing do a quick pop in if needed for fresh food and water. Let out for potty breaks or a walk as well. For cats I can change kitty litter box and give alittle love well you are gone or even just need alittle extra care.
About: I’ve been around family pets since I got my first cat at 6 months old! 29 years of experience adoring your pets, 20 years of experience with cats, 7 with dogs. I’ve lived with and helped raise a mid-sized terrier mix and a large Rottweiler mix. Im looking forward to meeting your furry family members and hopefully giving you some peace of mind that they well be safe and adored while you’re away. I’m currently in my last semester of undergrad and saving up for grad school. I spend a lot of my time volunteering but have no firm work schedule. I will visit every day or stay overnight with your pets to make sure they are safe, well-fed, exercised, watered, and pottied. I love to read with a cat beside me or go for a nice walk with your dog. Let me know what your pet needs! Everyone is different.
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life with a mix of temperaments and breeds so I am confident with any dog. I have experience training dogs with basic commands.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Waukesha
We are so happy to have Ashley to care for Butters! She goes above and beyond to communicate, and share updates while we are gone. He is a very active and social cat, Ashley ensures he gets the stimulation he needs while we are out of town. We have such peace of mind coming home to a well taken care of kitty!

Jen was great. I had her come by to check on our cats and take care of the autolitter boxes because my elderly Mom could not do that. She was completely understanding and did a great job. We're going out of town again this week and Jen will be back again. Thanks Jen!

Usually when I am gone, my cats get anxious, which lasts a few days after I return. This time, both cats were very laid back and chill, not at all clingy. The house was neat and tidy. (They usually knock things down to show their disapproval at my being gone.) Obviously, they felt at ease with Erica and she did a great job of taking care of them. She also brought in my newspaper and mail and left it neatly where I had asked.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Waukesha stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

- 96% can help with daily exercise

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 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.
