“Mira was great! She was very pleasant, quick to communicate, and scheduled a meet & greet shortly after accepting the booking. She took care of my kitty with drop-in visits over three days and sent me updates and pictures every day, which I really appreciated. It was obvious that she genuinely cared about my cat and made sure she was well taken care of. She also arrived within the scheduled time each day. I’ll definitely be booking Mira again! 🐾❤️”

About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was old enough to know what a pet was, whether it’s my own, a neighbor’s, or a friend/family member’s. I love animals, and am considering going into vet work! I have experience with both puppies/kittens and seniors as well :). I can walk, feed, give meds, and do anything you need! I’m a full-time student during the week, but I will always have time to drop-in, or stay overnight. I’m very flexible with my scheduling, so I will happily do whatever you and your pet need! While I can’t offer boarding at my home because I have four roommates, I will care for pets in every way possible no matter what! I know some nice parks for walks, and I’m also happy to chill if they’re a homebody! Again, entirely up to you and your pets needs :)
About: I have taken care of pets for 10 years now! I have experience with all sizes of dogs and puppies. My family and neighbors have relied on me to make sure their pets are cared for while they’re away. I am a college student so I have a lot of flexibility when it comes to taking care of pups in the evenings and between classes on weekdays. I am not available on most weekends. I will treat your pet and home with respect and ensure they are cared for. I think it is very important for pups to be comfortable in their environment.
About: I’ve been dog sitting for a couple years now. I’ve had experience from little to big dogs. From a basenji, labrador, german shepherd, great pyrenees mix, a yorkie, and a few other breeds! Friends rely on me to exercise, feed, and give attention to their fur baby. 😊 I have plenty of time on the weekends! I’m currently available at any time Friday-Sunday to take care of your sweet pets! Can start at any point of the day or night! I take care of pets as if they were my own! 🥰 I care about their safety, what they eat, who comes around them, how much outside time they get. I promise to take care of them and give them all the attention. I want to be able to give them some love and snuggles while watching some tv. I make sure to stick to their food schedule and like to let them out every 2-4 hours. Daily exercise is important to me, I like to go on walks and can always use a walking buddy! 🐶
About: Lifelong (35 years) dog lover and owner of a golden retriever. I begged my parents growing up to get our family a dog...luckily after all of my persistence, my mom and dad finally gave in. My family got two dogs within a few weeks of one another, a Chocolate Lab and a Brittany. Both had a lot of energy and were very loving. Of course, the dogs came with the responsibilities which I happily took on. I loved taking them for walks, meal time, playing fetch in the yard, and even the poop scoopin' duties. Currently, I work from home and get to spend all day with my golden retriever Stark. I want to help the other working dog moms and dads in my community who don't have the luxury of being home with their dog every day. If you want help to take your dog out to go potty, go for a walk, snuggle, just visit, or play, then I'm the one for you!! I work from home and can be available as needed as long as it's not during a scheduled conference call - gotta keep my day job. I'm pretty flexible but also don't mind a routine schedule if that would benefit you. If any dog steps it's paws in to my home or yard, I'll treat them like a part of my own family. Just seeing a dog puts a smile on my face. I have a large home with wood floors. There's also a large nearby fenced-in dog park a few miles from my house where I take my golden retriever to really run off the zoomies. I love my dog and I'm obsessed with him. Every photo on my phone is of my dog, my kids, or food, the three loves of my life...oh and my husband, he's got a few photos in there too.
“Lynne was great and sent timely updates and took good care of our Kitties on a very short notice - she was friendly and quick and handled all items we asked of her and the pictures she took were very cute! Would book again!”
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was five years old. I’ve walked dogs since I was a child. I have had birds, gerbils, lizards, fish, cats, and dogs. My last animal companion was a rescued special needs Jindo dog from LA. I truly love all animals. I prefer to focus one on one interactions with animals to ensure the best possible care and connection. I work for myself so my schedule is relatively flexible. I am available anytime with enough headway. Have car and can travel to clients. I can spend as much or as little time as your animal companions require. I currently have no pets or housemates and a fenced in backyard for dogs. My house is safe and secure and situated in a quiet neighborhood. All furniture is pet friendly and accessible. Plenty of windows for cats to look out from.
About: Hello! My family and I currently have a beautiful silver Laborador Retriever, Mae, who brings so much happiness and energy to our lives. I’m a firm believer that a house is not a home without a furry friend! I have a pretty flexible schedule during the day, and would love to help out some pet owners in need of anything from short potty break, midday play, or walk while you’re out! I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and am super comfortable with pets of all ages and sizes and have a lot of experience, including caring for older pups who might need a little extra TLC. I also have experience caring for cats (including those who have medication needs). Looking forward to hearing more of your pet care needs and meeting some new furry friends!

Mira was great! She was very pleasant, quick to communicate, and scheduled a meet & greet shortly after accepting the booking. She took care of my kitty with drop-in visits over three days and sent me updates and pictures every day, which I really appreciated. It was obvious that she genuinely cared about my cat and made sure she was well taken care of. She also arrived within the scheduled time each day. I’ll definitely be booking Mira again! 🐾❤️
Knox can be a bit particular, but he absolutely loved the attention and care he received. We got regular updates, photos, and little notes that gave us total peace of mind while we were away. It was clear he wasn’t just being “checked on”—he was genuinely cared for, played with, and kept comfortable in his routine.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Waunakee is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $28 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 November 2026, there are 1,434 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Waunakee. 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 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 Waunakee. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
