About: As an animal lover for all of my life, I have had the joy of caring for animals for over 14 years! I pride myself in providing the highest quality care for all pets, always giving so much love, cuddles, attention, and patience to our furry best friends. I am very active and fun, loving to go for long walks and runs, as well as lots of plays and entertainment. And don't forget lots of cuddles! I have experience in senior care, as I care for my dog Bean who is almost 15 years old. I give him so much love and patience with his special needs such as medicine administration and assistance in getting up on the furniture. I am open to providing extra care and requests such as baths, picking up poop, and accommodate for different schedules- shoot me a message and let's work out a plan to get your animal the best care while you are away. I love to send lots of updates and photos, because I know how it feels to miss your animal. I look forward to working with you and becoming your pet's new bestie while you're away. :) I am currently searching for a new job, so I have a lots of time and a flexible schedule to care for your animals. I am able to accommodate to your needs and preferences to give your fur baby the best possible experience while you are away. I will be traveling to your house to care for your animal, as I care for my senior dog at my house. I have additionally cared for dogs with anxiety and special needs, so I have extra patience to give to these furry friends.

About: I am a zookeeper so I absolutely love animals! I’ve had pets my whole life. Currently I have a fish. Just recently my cat passed away, and my dog passed away 2.5 years ago. I’m looking to help others out by watching and taking care of their fur children. I am good at walking, basic training, medicating and snuggling with pets. Most of my experience is watching pets of friends and family. Willing to care for dogs, cats, birds, fish and some other critters. I work 8-5 on a rotating schedule, meaning my off days change weekly. I can check in on pets before and after work and also before bed. I am also willing to stay with pets at your home so they feel secure and someone is with them in the evening and morning. I am free most evenings. I am willing to house sit/pet sit at my client’s house. I will follow routine and instructions for pet care, feeding and walking schedules, and clean up. I am also willing to do house checks to feed, medicate and let out pets for bathroom breaks.

About: I’ve taken care of both senior dogs and puppies. I’m patient and calm, but I can also handle a dog that pulls when being walked. I’m a college student, mom, and wife, but my schedule is very flexible. I can do visits at any time as long as we plan it at least 24 hours in advance. I always appreciate a detailed schedule when caring for your pet. I would like to stick to your typical routine so your pet can be comfortable when their family isn’t home.

About: I’ve been a dog lover my whole life 🐶🤍 I grew up with both a Golden Retriever and a Yorkie, so I’ve had experience with very different personalities, sizes, and energy levels! I’ve cared for an older dog who needed a little extra patience and gentleness, as well as a younger, energetic pup who was always ready to play. I’ve also fostered dogs through a local humane society, which has given me even more experience getting to know new dogs, helping them feel comfortable, and giving them lots of love and attention while they’re in my care. 🐾 I know how much pets mean to their people, so I’ll always treat your pup like they’re part of the family — whether we’re going for a walk, taking a potty break, playing for a bit, or just getting some extra love while you’re away! 💕 As a teacher, I have a pretty consistent schedule, which makes it easy for me to plan pet care into my routine! 🍎🐾 I’m available after 4:00 PM on weekdays for walks and drop-in visits, and I have much more flexibility on weekends. I love having something active and fun to look forward to after the school day, and spending time with dogs is the perfect way to unwind. Whether your pup needs an evening walk, a potty break, some playtime, or a little extra attention, I’d be happy to help! 💕 I’ll always care for your pet in a way that follows their normal routine and your specific instructions! 🐾 During drop-ins, I can take them outside for potty breaks, refresh their water, play with them, give treats or meals if needed, and make sure they get plenty of love and attention. I’m also happy to crate your pup after a visit if that’s part of their usual routine. For walks, I’ll make sure your dog is securely leashed and keep a close eye on their surroundings so they stay safe and comfortable. I know every pet is different, so I’m happy to adjust to whatever makes your pup feel happiest and most at ease! 💕

About: I’ve grown up with pets my entire life, and own 2 of my own dogs now. I am also a licensed foster parent through the WHS, as well as seasoned pet sitter. Both myself & my fur babies love other pets in our home, or I can stay at yours, if you’d prefer. I am a therapist who works with children & adolescents; my husband is a special education teacher. We have two resident dogs, who are family to us, and we are registered foster fur parents through the Wisconsin Humane Society. Our dogs enjoy playdates with friends of all sizes and so do we. We look forward to connecting! We have a fenced in yard with two friendly pups who LOVE play dates! We are ready to welcome you into our home (and yard!) as an extension of our family! To us, animals are everything!

About: I love all pets, big and small! I’ve pet sat for family and friends (from puppies to tripod cats) over the last few years.

Would love to use some of my free time to take care of your pets. For overnight stays, I’ available to stay at your house. I know every pet has their own personality, routine and quirks - I do my best to stick to what makes them feel comfortable. I’ll follow your care instructions and treat your pet the way I’d want someone to treat my own.

About: Friends and family have trusted me as a babysitter, pet sitter, plant sitter and house sitter from the time I was a young one myself. Their recommendations organically generated a steady word-of-mouth side business for me. At any given time, I'm often caring for someone's home, plants, pets, kids, or some combination of the above! I truly enjoy providing these types of services in addition to my other professional pursuits. My current schedule is pretty flexible, and I'm used to blocking out time every day to care for animals, plants, the home front, etc. As a dog owner myself, I'm familiar with the daily demands; however, I share the duties of my own dog with my partner, so I'm able to integrate other animals into this routine as needed. I know that matters of trust and safety are very important to parents, pet parents and home owners. For this reason, I try to be very adaptable in order to meet the individual standards and personal preferences of my clients.

Alyssa did a wonderful job with my large dogs. To note I have three BIG boys all active herding/wors dog mixed breeds. She was helping with drops in for AM and early PM while I was out of town alongside my parents as they needed assistance with their own schedules. My boys quickly were comfortable with Alyssa (my middle pup has some high stranger anxiety and make me look silly for my concerns) she also did great having to deal with a donut cone for my eldest since he had a skin condition acting up. She was also great at communicating any adjustments/timing I.e a potty accident at her previous drop in had her running a few behind.

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Wauwatosa

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Wauwatosa on Rover is $20 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $44 per visit. sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 2,133 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Wauwatosa. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Wauwatosa choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

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 .

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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Wauwatosa with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.

sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
