“Clearly very good with cats. Knew what questions to ask up front and covered the details I would've forgotten. Sent a lot of pictures, and my cat looked like he enjoyed her company.”
“Anna was so amazing with our kitties!!! :-) She sent updates and photos daily. It put our minds at ease to see that our sweet little fur babies were being so well taken care of. We will definitely reach out to her when we travel again!!”
“Jen was phenomenal as usual. She puts a lot thought and effort into the care of my cat. I'm grateful for her flexibility and excellent communication. I highly recommend her for the care of your cat or dog.”
About: Dogs are my favorite people - I attract dogs wherever I go. I have owned two dogs in my adult life-English Bulldog and Goldendoodle. Currently, I have a 10 year old goldendoodle. She loves everyone. I am a teacher and have off during the summer. I enjoy hiking, camping, biking, running, reading, gardening, and cooking. I’m currently on summer break, so my days are very flexible. During the school year, I am available before 7am or after 4pm. I have a very friendly goldendoodle. I have a big yard. I am willing to provide lots of love, playtime, and walks for your dog. I can be active with your pet or sit with them and love them up. Whatever you need, I can provide.
“Leah did a great job checking in on my cats while we were away. She was communicative, super nice, and followed through with what we asked. She sent lots of pictures of our cats when she checked in on them. When we got home, nothing was out of place and our cats had a clean litter box plus plenty of food and water. I definitely plan on booking Leah again in the future.”
“Heather is such a fantastic person who really goes above and beyond for your pets! She has taken such great care of our two senior kitties and is always incredibly responsive, detailed, and proactive. She has made sure to really know our pets and what behavior is and isn’t normal- even making an additional visit to make sure one of our kitties wasn’t sick! She is amazing and will continue to be our tried and true ❤️”
“Brenda took great care of my recently adopted feline, Atticus, when I was suddenly called out of town. I found her punctuality and dependability assuring, and her approach to providing care to a skittish kitty in alignment with mine; when I arrived home, Atticus was in great shape, physically and emotionally. Absolutely recommend her with enthusiasm.”
“Jess did a fantastic job looking after my two large dogs while we were out of town. I appreciated her photo updates so much! It’s such a relief when you know your fur babies are in good hands.”
About: I enjoy caring for energetic dogs and love keeping them active through games like fetch and tug-of-war. I am a dependable and attentive pet sitter who is comfortable administering medications and providing any additional care your pet may need. I strive to build trust with every pet I care for, and I’m proud that many of my clients have chosen me as their recurring pet sitter. My goal is to ensure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I am currently available through the beginning of August and am happy to discuss scheduling to find a time that works for you. Please feel free to message me with any questions about my availability. I typically provide care in your home to help keep your pets comfortable in their familiar environment. I can also welcome your furry family members into my home for stays of up to two days, if needed. While I do not have a fenced yard, I make sure every dog gets plenty of exercise through long walks and trips to local parks. If your dog enjoys socializing with other dogs and you approve, I’d be happy to take them to a dog park for additional play and enrichment. Your pet’s safety is always my top priority. I carefully follow your care instructions and make sure every dog in my care receives plenty of love, attention, exercise, and responsible supervision. My goal is for every pet to feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Natalie was perfect, she took care of my fur baby as I needed her to. I highly recommended her if you need someone to care for your furry kiddo that you can trust, and know will treat them with love! I’ll choose her again with no second thoughts!”
“Taryn was kind and very patient with my older, unsure little dog. Everyday Taryn took her time to get to know him. She was friendly and gentle allowing him to get used to her visits.”
About: 14 year plus dog owner here! Most of that time I’ve had two dogs, now I have one senior dog I share custody of. Experienced with different breed types and care context - I feel im successful with dogs because I try to put their interests first. I have a wonderfully flexible schedule that allows ample time throughout the day for walks, attention, care etc. on leash walks or off leash walks - it’s fun to explore the area and find new dog spots to visit To me the most important thing is trying to serve the dog and their owners interests. Follow the specific protocol for each dog … be respectful and accountable at all times
About: I treat animals as though they would be my own. I grew up around both dogs and cats so I know how to treat them very lovingly. I am usually spending time with my daughter every other weekend. I have a loving holden retriever that i would like to get outside with more at the dog park. I look forward to getting to know each and every one of you and your pets and would love to help out as much as I can. I currently dont work and am doing online schooling so I have plenty of time to spend with not not only my pup but yours as well. I usually stay at home, but if I do go out to the store my pup comes with me for a car ride or we go out to the dog park.
“Taylor was wonderful with Louise. She came everyday, kept his bowl filled and spent time with him. Was very pleased with her service and she sent a bunch of photos. Thanks Taylor!!”

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.

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Waunakee on Rover is $19.92 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
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 1,505 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Waunakee. 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 Waunakee 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.

- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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 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.
