“Scott and his dog Lucy were a great match for Roo! I received multiple picture updates and he was great at communicating. We met up beforehand to ensure a good match, and it was clear Scott has a natural way with dogs. Would gladly rebook!”
“Ashlee is amazing with Bosco and sends us pictures of him playing with all his new friends! Hes always so excited when he first sees her which makes leaving him a little bit easier ☺️”
“Sarah and her family took great care of Goose while we were gone for a quick overnight! Goose got lots of walks around the neighborhood and played well with their kids, both in the yard and outside. We wouldn’t hesitate to book again in the future!”
“Daniel & Holly were amazing! From the moment we walked in, we felt right at home and so did our pup. They were very patient and understanding and they have great knowledge and experience with dogs. Although our pup was shy, she fit right in! They took great care of our dog & besides that, they are great people who know how to have great conversation. I will highly recommend them and we can’t wait until the next time we book them!”
“Laura did amazing with Romeo, she updated us everyday on how he was doing and was very responsive. Romeo was in very good hands. We would definitely use her again!”
“Elizabeth provided 4 days of boarding for our dog. We were able to book her with short notice. Although my dog was nervous around children, she was able to help my dog get used to them. She is responsive and very accommodating. Our return flight was late and she was able to adjust our pickup time without any issues. Would highly recommend for boarding your dog.”
“Tracy is great! Good communication and pics throughout the stay. Juniper seemed to enjoy his time with his new dog friends. Super convenient, reasonable price and easy to book. I appreciate having my dog as a part of a family vs. a pet daycare or corporate pet boarding. My dog appreciates the kind of attention that he gets with Tracy. Definitely recommend!”
“Riley had such a great experience, and I truly can’t say enough good things. Communication was amazing from start to finish, and she was so flexible when our flights changed, which took a huge weight off my shoulders. She even sent pictures without us asking which we absolutely loved and really appreciated. Her kids and mother were incredibly kind and Riley also got along so well with their dog, Annalise. Riley isn’t around other dogs very often, so I was a little nervous, but they did great together and it made me so happy to hear how well she adjusted. Honestly, the whole experience felt so comfortable… like I’ve known them for a long time. That says a lot when you’re trusting someone with your dog. I would absolutely use them again without hesitation. I think Riley may have even found herself a new best friend 🐾”
“Marilynn took care of our two sassy lil pups for an entire week. The sassy part is that they don't typically play nice with other dogs - unless they are at Marilynn's! She has worked her dog-whispering magic on them and they have become more sociable. They love Marilynn and we do too:)”
“This was my first time using Rover and I could not be happier! Dawn and her husband were wonderful sitters. My dog, Jax, was obviously comfortable within minutes of walking in the house. Through out his stay Dawn would send pictures so I could see for myself how ‘chilled’ Jax was. I highly recommend Dawn and would definitely leave Jax in her care again.”
“Nikki was wonderful! My dog loved her and had the best stay! She was so kind, helpful in answering my questions as a first time Rover user, attentive, and again my dog loved her! Thanks again and we will book again whenever we need to!”
“My dog Bella always love to spend time with MJ. She is well cared for and I’m at ease while away. MJ is great with providing her with good care and comfort.”
“Scott and Ashley (and kids!) were amazing. We'd never boarded our two dogs anywhere so we were quite nervous about leaving them, but they kept us updated with regular photos and responded quickly to any message. The dogs got regular playtime and lots of snuggles and clearly became part of the family. We could not have been happier with this experience! I cannot recommend them highly enough. Thank you!!!”
“Our dog Lola loves Yolanda. We miss her so much when we go out of town but we know she is getting excellent care and lots of love each time she stays. Yolanda sends plenty of updates and pictures. Lola ran over to Yolanda to get more pets and cuddles right before we left, which says it all.”
“Cindy did a great job with our big, black beast. Our dog was very comfortable in her temporary residence. Plenty of sunshine hanging out back is one of her favorite things next to retrieving, which she got a-plenty. Her dogs and mine got along just fine. Would recommend and repeat our stay. Thanks!!”
“Always a 5-star experience with Mary and her family! Thanks for helping Bud be a better pup when it comes to taking treats! He gets better and better after each stay with you! He's looking forward to his next overnight with all of you!”
About: I have had a deep compassion for all animals my whole life, wanting nothing more but for them to be happy. When your furry family members are with me, safety and entertainment will be of top priority. Giving love is second nature to me and I will be at full attention with your dog. Fun and exercise with plenty of fresh air guaranteed! I have specific walking routes to know where your pet will always be at all times , and communication will be as frequently as desired. Pictures will be posted regularly. Part of how I reach maximum comfortability for your dog is by using famiar language (commands) and learning it's habits and rituals. Everything has a personality and I try hard to learn what your dogs is like. Last but not least, I am all breed friendly!
“I would highly recommend Christina if you are looking for someone to care for your pup while you’re away! She’s a great communicator and sent pics often! I could relax knowing he was in good hands. Thank you!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Wauwatosa
Jill was excellent in keeping our two dogs on the 4th of July. Everything was perfect including a quiet and cool house for our dogs, to a perfect backyard they could sniff around in. Thank you again Jill and if we are back in Milwaukee we will be sure to book with you again.
Scott was a wonderful sitter to our dog, Phoebe. Excellent communication, professional, and friendly. He sent us a few pics while we were away to let us know how she was doing, which I especially appreciated. Definitely recommend Scott, and his cute dog Lucy, to anyone looking for a sitter and a playmate.
Emma came to spend the night with my dog for two nights as scheduled. She updated me on walks, how she ate and gave her meds as needed. I loved all the pics of her she sent! She was very responsive to all communication and I felt very comfortable having her in my home and watching my dog. Will definitely book again!
Maggie was wonderful and did an excellent job with taking care of my senior dog Brizzy! Brizzy has some quirks, but Maggie was thorough and made sure to ask all of the right questions so that she could care for Brizzy in the best way possible. We got daily updates with how Brizzy was doing, and Maggie was easily available to us if we had any questions or wanted to check in. Would recommend Maggie to anyone looking for a dog sitter!
Jen was a wonderful! She took excellent care of Hana and treated her like her own. We got daily updates and all communication was timely. Hana got lots of walks and attention and seemed to ease into the new environment very quickly for which all credit goes Jen and how welcoming she was. We were very much at ease knowing Hana was in great hands and was safe and happy!
Tracie was wonderfully attentive and great with our pup! We’ll definitely be booking again in the future. Great communication, and respectful of our dog’s needs. Our dog can be a bit leash reactive, but Tracie was mindful to introduce her carefully to her own pets and make sure our dog was comfortable. Thank you, Tracie!!

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Wauwatosa
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Wauwatosa on Rover is $37.45 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding 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 Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 862 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Wauwatosa. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
86% of Wauwatosa sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Wauwatosa landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Wauwatosa home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Wauwatosa.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Wauwatosa sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in WI ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
