I also worked at a doggie daycare, where I gained valuable experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, and personalities.

About: Raised in rural Wisconsin, grew up on a hobby farm and had one of my own as an adult. I've had animals big and small my entire life; from cats and dogs to cattle and even a deer or two along the way. Now a city girl, but yearning for the opportunity to care for your pet as if they were my own. Weekends and late afternoons during the week are when I have the most availability to walk your dog. If in home care is needed for an extended period, we can discuss schedules. Dogs typically feel safer in their own homes versus a stranger's home. To reduce your pets' anxiety when you are away, I'm a believer in letting them be cared for at home.

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.
“Katie did a wonderful job taking care of our senior cat, Luna! Luna is shy and has her routines--meds, supplements, foods, treats. Katie patiently managed them all while helping Luna feel as comfortable as possible with us out of the house. I really appreciate Katie's kindness and care!”

Scott and Ashley took great care of my fur baby! They went above and beyond to make sure my dog had the best care by adding in walks and making sure she doesn’t get into things as she tends to do that. Scott brought in my garbage cans and picked up after my dog without asking. Will definitely re book again!
Kandice did a wonderful job taking care of my two cats. Roy and Ewok both said that she was very nice to them, scooped their litter boxes, fed them and gave them snacks. And Ewok got pets. Kandice sent me updates on their activities and pictures of them every day.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Waukesha is $21 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $30 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 2,210 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Waukesha. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
