“Scott was very accommodating and communicative, we got several pictures and even a short video of our dog out playing in the fresh snow. Our dog has a fear of smooth floors and Scott was able to layout enough rugs and beds that Barley was comfortable. Will book again.”
“Tracy was great with Hana and gave frequent updates and pictures. Tracy clearly has great experience taking care of dogs with all types of temperaments and I felt Hana was in great hands!”
“Mitch was very accommodating with my last minute booking request. After a quick meet and greet, I left my 4 year old pup in good hands for an overnight stay. Mitch has a nice big fenced in yard for the dogs to play, he was very responsive with his communication and provided photo updates. Would definitely recommend.”
“Max and his girlfriend took great care of my pup!! She loved having other dogs to play with. Max has a wonderful personality and vibe. He is very compassionate and you can tell has a spot in his heart for dogs. My pup had a ton of time playing outside, took walks and had a park adventure. Max is accommodating and was happy go alloys my pup to relax on the furniture and most importantly sleep/snuggle up in bed at night. Would HIGHLY recommend anyone to Max gor dog sitting.”
“Laura was great! Our dog Dolly seemed well taken care of. Dolly got along really good with her labrador Diesel. He is a sweet boy. Highly recommend her and have scheduled for future plans. Theresa W.”
“This was my first time using Rover and I couldn’t be happier with Dawn and her husband! They were so welcoming at our Meet and Greet and made us feel very comfortable leaving Zeke overnight. She sent us updates and pictures of him having a blast in their back yard, so I could tell Zeke was having a great time. I highly recommend Dawn and will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”
“Ashley was absolutely amazing with Chase and Coco! She kept me updated the entire time with pictures and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear they were well cared for, happy, and loved while I was away. I had no issues or problems at all. I truly appreciate the excellent care she provided, and I will definitely be booking with her again. Highly recommend!”
“Christina was excellent!!! She took great care of our 8 yr old dog while we were away for a summer vacay and was kind enough to send daily updates and pictures of our fur baby. She was very quick with her responses from our first messages about sitting to our meet and greet and while we were away…which I truly appreciated! Yoshi is a picky eater and she was able to get to him eat and also take his nightly meds. She and her other pets welcomed Yoshi into her home and treated him like one of her own. We would definitely book again with Christina again! 😊”
“Jennifer boarded our golden doodle, Scout, for a full week while our family was on spring break and did a fabulous job! We were all a bit nervous and sad to leave our pup, but we could easily see that Jennifer was very caring, tuned into our dogs routines and needs and all around easy to work with. It was easy to set up a "meet and greet" with Jennifer, and we really liked that she only takes one dog at a time (since our pup is pretty chill and prefers humans to being around lots of other dogs). Best of all, she was very communicative from the beginning, Aside from the "meet & greet" and the smooth booking, when we were gone she communicated daily with a picture and an update on how Scout was doing. Our whole family looked forward to those updates and it really did help us feel good to see our dog doing well in our absence. We will definitely be using Jennifer again!”
“We couldn't be happier with Sarah! Her and her family were incredibly reliable, warm & welcoming, and went above and beyond to ensure Moose was comfortable and well-cared for. When our flight was changed last minute, Sarah was understanding and flexible. We appreciated the daily updates and so many amazing photos. It was so reassuring to see how happy Moose was during his stay. We highly recommend Sarah to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter! We will absolutely be rebooking for our next vacation.”
“Really enjoyed working with MJ. He's flexible, accommodating and responds promptly via Rover. My dog has had limited exposure to cats, so really appreciated the time MJ took to introduce Brooklyn to his cats and ensure they were ok. Brooklyn came back tired (tired = lots of fun = happy) and seemed to have had an awesome time.”
“Julia and Colin were great! They communicated well and even met Toast before boarding! We received a lot of pictures where our dog was smiling and having a good time with them. We will definitely book again!”
“Scott & Ashley were amazing with communication & updates putting this worried heart at ease. Fred was very well loved and we would definitely have him stay there again.”
“Missy was wonderful to work with. She was highly communicative, helpful, and our dogs absolutely loved her. I would recommend her to anyone looking to have their pet watched. Thank you Missy!!”
“I had the pleasure of having Nikki and her lovely family watch our dog, Kota, who has a history of seizures and requires a little extra care. She did a truly wonderful job. Throughout Kota’s stay, she sent frequent pictures and updates, which helped ease our minds and kept us informed. Her attentiveness, kindness, and clear communication were greatly appreciated. Kota was in excellent hands, and it was clear she treated her like one of her own. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for dependable, compassionate care for their pet—especially if they have special medical needs.”
“Dani (and Aiden) were such a blessing in helping me car for my 3mo old pup while I was away for 2 nights! I am very grateful, thankful, and satisfied with how well everything went! They remained in good contact/communication!! Cash tip provided :-)”
“Maria watched our two golden doodles while we were on vacation for a week. This is the second time we’ve used her and she’s always been great. She sends updates with photos/videos multiple times a day. I can tell our boys were well taken care of. Would definitely recommend.”
“Cindy took excellent care of our dog while we were out of the country for 5 nights. Our dog is not crate trained, which can present a problem for some boarders, but this was no problem at all for Cindy! She made sure to keep us updated by sending photos every day, and our dog always seemed so happy. We returned home to a very content pup. The peace of mind that Cindy provided helped us to relax and enjoy our trip rather than worrying about how our dog was doing. We would 100% work with her again. Thank you, Cindy!”
“Angela provides a safe, friendly stay for Skye when we are traveling. We are so appreciative to have someone who loves her animal friends so much. She gives us the reassurance that Skye will have a wonderful experience vacationing with her own canine and feline friends.”

Andrew took wonderful care of my dog on two separate occasions, and both experiences were excellent. He was reliable, communicative, and made it easier being away. My dog was happy, well cared for, and comfortable with him. Andrew kept me updated with messages and photos, which I really appreciated. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter.
Sierrah is such a kind and caring sitter. Her communication is clear and she's very responsive. She took such great care of my husky and provided picture and updates. Thank you Sierrah for being flexible with my schedule and taking care of Snow! I would definitely book Sierrah again for boarding services.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Wauwatosa on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 858 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.
85% 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.
