“Ashley was a fantastic sitter for Riggins and Renly! She was very communicative about when she would arrive and always provided helpful updates. Riggins clearly loved having her around — he was constantly demanding pets and attention from her, which says a lot about how comfortable he felt. I also really appreciated all the extra little things Ashley did, like bringing in the mail and packages and sending pictures of Riggins while I was away. Renly is very shy and kept his distance, but Ashley was patient and understanding with him as well. It gave me peace of mind knowing my cats were well cared for, and I would absolutely recommend Ashley to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”
About: I truly enjoy caring for each pet’s unique personality and needs. I’ve owned both cats and dogs my entire life and have over a year of experience with dog boarding. I’m comfortable with a wide range of temperaments, routines, and energy levels. I always make sure your pet feels safe, cared for, and comfortable while you’re away. In our home we allow the dogs to roam and play freely throughout most of the main level of our home. We do not allow dogs to sleep in our beds. We also have a fenced portion of our yard for them to get plenty of outdoor playtime! We require that all dogs be up to date on their vaccinations and free from infectious diseases. Let us know your dog’s typical routines, and we will do our best to match that during their stay.
“Angie does an amazing job watching our two cats, hamster and fish. She follows all instructions and additionally takes care to notice what they may need without being asked. Our cats are older: one is blind and one can be crabby and she does well with both of them. It is such a relief to feel comfortable leaving them in good hands. I highly recommend Angie for pet sitting!”
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.
“Lilyan was awesome! :) This was my first time using rover and I was super nervous but she really made it easy. She left detailed notes and sent over great photos making the process 10X easier. I also thought it was really sweet that she picked up after the dogs and I could tell in the photos they were out of breathe from playing during her stops at the house. Thank you a million Lilyan and would definitely choose you again!”
“Kandice was a great pet sitter for our two cats. Her communication was phenomenal and you can tell she has a real heart for animals. It was our 1st experience with Kandice and we would definitely book her again! Highly recommend !!”
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! Most have been middle size dogs - lab mixes, etc. I have experience with taking care of all size of pets though.I also walked dogs at a local humane society until I adopted my own bundle of joy! I have dog sat for all different sizes and types of dogs and genuinely enjoy being around them. Like I said above - I sometimes prefer dogs over people haha! I would love to get back into walking and socializing dogs looking for good homes! I love being able to help them find new homes! I just have a connection with dogs and love being around them! I currently work during the day but am free nights and weekends and would love to meet your member(s) of the family! :)
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.
“Aly was able to support last minute and my pup loved her from first meeting! So sweet and clearly has love and care for fur babies. She checked in and sent pictures when popping in to let Jada out, which was so appreciated!”
About: I have worked with three doggy daycares with different social settings and dynamics small groups to groups of 45. We are trained to care for dogs, of any breed. Poop, or throw up I can handle it. I work part-time my schedule shifts, are Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday. However, I can change my shifts to meet your schedule needs. never be afraid to ask and always ask me a week in advance. I have been trained through three different doggy daycare programs that have introduced different training protocols to understand the needs, health, Dog AID, behaviors, and more of different breeds. Your fur babies or little ones will receive all the love and care they need. I will keep you updated with videos, photos, or even FaceTime to show you how everything is going when I visit a client’s home. I always follow and respect the rules, and if I notice anything unusual, I will report it and ask questions, because your pets’ well-being is my top priority.
About: I’ve taken care of many types of dogs, small puppies, large dogs and seniors. Many friends and family have relied on me to walk and feed their dogs and am excited for the opportunity to care for yours! I am available any day of the week after 4:30pm and some weekends and Fridays 12-1pm if scheduled farther in advanced. Let me know if you have questions! When meeting a new dog, I will make sure it feels comfortable with me before petting it or putting a leash on. I am very aware of my surroundings while going for walks and making sure the dog is hydrated or walking in the shade when it is hot.
“Melita did an amazing job taking care of my dogs. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about making sure they were comfortable and well looked after. I really appreciated the updates and the peace of mind while I was away. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter and would happily book with her again in the future.”

Kelly is absolutely fantastic. I am a repeat client and I will continue to be. She is very dependable, punctual, and communicates with every visit on how they are doing with lots of pictures. She goes above and beyond creating trust with our kitties. She also does a stellar job making sure our kitties remain stress free with the cleanliness of their litter boxes. She follows instructions to a T and I leave a long list 🙃…. From bowl cleanliness and water fountain levels to youtube for cats so they have live entertainment and interior light levels so they can sleep well at night, but still see well enough in their eating and bathroom areas. I know they are well cared for and our home is secure. 5 stars!
Ashley did a double drop-in for me on a short notice request (1 dog, 2 cats). She is friendly and my dog liked her right away. Knowing that I had someone to trust with my pets while being gone for a long day was a huge relief. I would not hesitate requesting Ashley again.
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.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 2,346 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Waukesha. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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. 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Waukesha. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
