About: I've taken care of animals of all kinds since I was 3 years old. Cats, dogs, birds, ferrets gerbils and as an adult horses cows chickens although I'm assuming you're not going to be dropping off any of those I am pretty much home anytime and available to watch animals day or night. I am self employed as a farmer during the summer but off during the wonter I have a newly updated 100-year-old home with two rooms that kitties can stay in if they are shy and don't play well with other cats. Dogs I keep with me at all times. I
“Olivia does such a good job with my super energetic boys! She’s proactive about making sure they’re taken care of and get some exercise even when the weather isn’t ideal. I’d recommend her all day.”
About: I worked at a dog daycare and boarding place for 2 years. I have looked over and cared for puppies to senior dogs including meds and special care such as epilepsy, injuries, aggression, and much more. I also have trained my own dogs and many friends dogs. I trained my aussie in agility and my old lab in dock diving and duck hunting. I love all dogs regardless of background, breed, size, and shape. I have also worked with delivering and the aftercare of brand new puppies! I recently got laid off, so I have plenty of free time for yours and my pet! I have a high energy Australian Shepherd, so proper dog care takes up a lot of my time! I will always put your pup first and make sure he/she is happy, healthy, and loving his/her vacation from everyday life. I usually take my own on a walk every morning and would be so excited to bring a new friend with around the neighborhood. I also like to go over training and give lots of love and high-quality treats!
“Alyssa has been great and extremely patient with the dogs! She took the time to convince my older dog to walk when she was scared and unsure about the walk. Would highly recommend!!”
About: Hi! I’m a dependable and caring animal lover who enjoys spending time with pets and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. I treat every pet like family and pay close attention to their routines, energy levels, and personalities. I have experience with high energy and dogs with arthritis and other conditions, i also have experience with cats. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or just a calm environment, I adjust to what makes them feel most comfortable. I’m patient, responsible, and always focused on keeping pets safe and stress-free. I also believe its good for the animal to have trust in the person watching over them I can also help with: * Walks and exercise * Feeding and fresh water * Playtime and companionship * Basic grooming/brushing * Potty breaks and cleanup * Photo and message updates while you’re away I currently work part-time with a flexible schedule, so I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and pet care throughout the week. I always plan my schedule carefully to make sure pets get the time, attention, and care they deserve. I understand how important trust is when someone else is caring for your pet, so I always try to communicate clearly, provide updates/photos, and treat every pet with patience and care like they’re my own
“Becky is the absolute best. She took care of my dog 100% and was very helpful and understanding. She was very responsive after the walks and how Buster did on the walks. I will use her again.”

I'm currently working an 8-4 full time job Monday - Friday, but my job is flexible to allow me to take long lunches if needed. Any evenings or weekends, I am free!

“Skylar is very flexible with our schedule. Tilly is very happy when I get home after her walks with Skylar! Skylar was very easy to create a plan with when she first came to visit. The house is always cleaned up after Tilly's indoor playtime, too! I would highly recommend her! Thank you, Skylar!”
About: I love hanging out with all animals! I'm a member to both this and TrustedHouseSitters so I have references on there if you wish to see those I can send screen shots. I'm currently only doing pet / house sitting at your house. If you’d like to FaceTime ahead of time that would be great. I'm excited to meet your dog or cat! I love being around pets so I go on walks or hangout around the house with the dog(s) and provide a safe and chill environment.

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 12 years old, from my own family dogs to friends dogs while away. I have also worked in boarding kennels and was a wildlife rehabilitator for over 5 years! I have extensive knowledge in a medical background so giving your pets any medication won't be a problem. I understand that every dog has a unique routine and I know that following this routine will make them feel the most comfortable! I have experience with cats and exotic pets. Let me care for your dog while you are away! I am a SAHM so my schedule is very flexible. That being said, my children will often be with me for walks and drop-in visits. I am a stay at home mom so pet care fits into my routine easily. My schedule is extremely flexible but I will need to bring my children with me I can accommodate any routine that they are used to. If that means kenneling them when I leave or they only like a certain route to be walked along, I can do it!
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for over a decade and have experience with pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. My services include dog walking, drop-in visits, and overnight house sitting, and I always treat every pet as if they were my own. In addition to caring for pets for family, friends, and clients, I recently provided ongoing care for a dog twice a week over several months. I’ve worked with both small and large dogs, as well as a variety of cats, and have experience handling different energy levels, temperaments, and routines. As a former cat foster, I’m especially attentive to each animal’s individual needs and understand the importance of patience, consistency, and compassionate care. Whether your pet needs a long walk, playtime, companionship, feeding, medication reminders, or simply a reassuring presence while you’re away, I’m committed to keeping them safe, happy, and comfortable. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care, and I take that responsibility seriously. My goal is to provide reliable, loving care and give you peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands. I am a full time online student, so my schedule is very flexible and I can accommodate most needs. Just let me know what’s best for you! I will ensure to follow all instructions given whether that’s food restrictions, crating your dog, being outside or playing for x amount of minutes etc.
About: I am a veterinary technician student at Northcentral Technical College, looking to gain as much experience with fur babies as I can. I have trained and taken care of my own dogs since I was 11. I have taken care of family dogs for just as long as well. Being in school for my major I deal with dogs and cats daily with all kind of attitudes and sizes. I am currently at home full-time so I will be able to care for and play with your fur babies five days a week for most of the day. I have my own friendly pup who loves to play if he ever meets your fur baby. I can also crate your fur baby if you want me to when I leave!

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Wausau. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Wausau.

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.
Every walker 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Wausau. On Rover:
- 100% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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 dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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 walker.
