“Thank you for taking care of my girlies! All 3 with their different personalities are always safe with you. I feel at ease, as much as I can, when I know you're checking on them.”
“She did so good with my evil cat and even brought in a package and put my robot camera back on the charger. We met up before my vacation and did a quick review of what was needed. I felt comfortable knowing she was there for my cat :)”

“Sydney is great! She was able to check in on my two pups multiple times. Sydney always leaves a detailed report and makes sure we get pics of the pups during her visits. We highly recommend her!”


“Nala absolutely loves when Kat comes to visit! We’re so grateful for her kindness, reliability, and the way she treats Nala like family. It’s a huge relief to know she’s in such good hands while we’re away!”

About: First and foremost, I’m a queer yoga teacher in the area and I haven’t used this account in least two years 😬 I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life. At four, my family started fostering cats (mamas and kittens were my faaaav) and I would help out as much as I could. Yes, I did try to name a kitten Washcloth. No, my mom did not let it stand. This love for animals carried forward throughout my youth with four cats, a German Shepard mix, a malamute, a boxer and pit. My house was always full and as the Aries eldest daughter that I am I always was the first to help out. I got a cat as soon as I could when I moved out on my own and about seven years ago I got a rescue pup of my own. I also have a Rottweiler who I helped raise and train from 7 weeks old. I dedicated so much time to gently training both of them and just pouring love into them. I can definitely help with training and love working with dogs on walking well on leash. I also really believe in positive reinforcement for your pets - they just want to make us proud. Truly a universal desire. I love long walks with dogs and lots of coregulation calm time. Trust that your babies will be treated like they are family. I am a yoga teacher and teach about 10 classes per week. Other than that I work remotely from my computer, so I can flex my time. I really value a slow paced life, so being able to really take my time and go for walks/hikes, cooking a gourmet dinner at home for myself and cuddling up with a good book. I have always been a very regimented, schedule following pet owner. I think it helps create consistency and eases anxiety for animals. Routines help animals thrive. I think frequent bathroom breaks are important. Long walks early in the day before the world is busy and it gets too hot in the summer are a priority. I also really love snuggling up and just having quiet, calm time with pets. I am happy to follow whatever guidelines/special requests pet parents have. I know how important it is to keep things consistent for pets! There’s never any judgement from me!
“Travis sent pics of my kitty playing and having a ball while I was traveling. I had great peace of mind knowing that my kitty was being cared for while I was out.”

“Liz was amazing! She was so sweet to our two cats and took excellent care of them. She also took her son over to visit them one night and he was great with them. Can’t recommend her enough, we are immediately rebooking for our next weekend trip.”


About: I am a true animal lover at heart! My family always owned dogs growing up, I adopted my own, Bear, in 2017 and my cat Luna (aka Tuna) in 2021. After recently losing Bear unexpectedly, I’m hoping to help heal my heart and get some puppy love by offering walks and drop-in visits to your babies! Prior to adopting Luna, I offered in-home boarding for many years through Rover. Unfortunately she’s not a fan of having other dogs around, otherwise we’d still be offering that service. I also worked at a doggy daycare during college because I loved dogs so much, and I wanted to spend time with them even though I couldn't get one at the time. This obviously provided me with lots of experience in handling multiple dogs! I promise to love your furbaby like my own and provide lots of pictures and updates :) I work remotely on Monday/Thursday/Friday so I’m available for drop-ins or walks during the workday! Would love to arrange regular services over lunch time. As some who believes that pets are family, I promise to do everything in my power to keep your pets safe under my care. When I have hired Rover services myself, I love to receive lots of pictures and updates from my sitters, so I promise to do the same for you!
“Emily took great care of my three kitties while I was gone. She was wonderful at communicating and following the instructions I left. The litter area is clean and she watered my plants! I highly recommend her for your pet care. A+++”

“We are so glad Kristine was available on Christmas Day to check on our cat. She came a few days prior on late notice for a meet and greet and provided a nice update!”

About: I’m a reliable and attentive pet sitter. I provide the exercise, affection, and midday relief they deserve. I treat every pet like they’re my own! Currently I’m working part time only on the weekends, so I have all the time during the week to care for your pets! I’m available Monday-Friday. My cats live the best life in my home. In your home, I care for them as my own and give them lots of love!

“I have used Jessi for my 3 very different cats, with very specific needs and I have been incredibly happy, multiple times! She always makes me feel very comfortable with being away from my babies! I am so thankful to her and plan to use her every time we need someone to check in on my kids!”

About: Hi! My name is Nikita. I'm currently looking to gain more experience with dogs and other animals. I'm trying to gain experience in order to look into becoming a dog trainer. So if you decide to choose me to look after your pets I may practice with your dog! Don't worry I'll be nice, I practice with several different styles of training. While I may not have a lot of professional dog experience, I have been around all sorts of animals my entire life. Whether it's my dog that I currently own or the several dogs that I grew up around in my family. I've always had some sort of animal living around me, and I've always had a passion for caring for them.
“Everything went smoothly, and I could not be more pleased! Maisie can be a shy girl sometimes but she took to Katie right away when Katie came for the meet-and-greet before setting up the recurring visits. That made me feel secure right there. It's a weight off my mind to know someone reliable, kind and caring is looking in on my little ones.”

“Jenn cared for our cats just as if they were her own. She clearly loves cats, as evidenced by the meticulous details she communicated to me about her daily visits with them. We came home to happy cats! I will definitely ask Jenn to care for our cats again in the future.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Wauwatosa
Jill was extremely kind and professional. My cat is honestly pretty rude to sitters. Jill was great at noticing her body language, giving my cat her space, and even finding her when she managed to get into an unusual hiding space. She's a great and reliable caregiver for your pets!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Wauwatosa on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 1,053 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Wauwatosa. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

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.
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.
