About: Hi, my name is Missy I've had a great deal of experience with all different kinds of animals. I worked with a local vet helping place feral cats in homes and providing excellent care for them. Including helping pregnant feral cats with delivery and maternal care. I have volunteered at the Wisconsin Humane Society. There I worked in the Wildlife rehabilitation center as well as the dog care center. I currently own dogs and cats of my own and I recognize how important it is to provide excellent care as well as exercise and playtime. I have past experience in boarding and dog sitting in my home which has always been a great experience. Can't wait to give the love and care your dog(s) deserve!

About: While I don't own a pet I lived with pets almost my whole life until buying a home for myself. While I wait until the right pet comes along in my life I'll happily care for yours! Living near the Hank Aaron Trail allows plenty of time for walks or runs around the neighborhood. If your pet isn't a fan of long walks or runs that's okay, too! Couch time is always something to look forward to with a friendly dog as well. Happy to follow any and all rules owners have while going the extra mile to make sure your pet feels cared for every day I take care of them. Look no further for someone to dedicate their time for your pet than my home. I work full time in the Milwaukee area but am usually not gone for longer than 8.5 or 9 hours at a time. I make time right away in the morning and immediately after work to care for any of the pets that I am watching. If your pet is active I'll happily take it out for runs around the trail or make time to play with it either in my yard or at the park near me. I will happily take the time to play with your pet outside or just let it roam around and do its business if that is what your pet prefers. There aren't many dogs in the area that are out and about to worry about. I don't have a pet of my own that you need to worry about your pet being comfortable with, either. I work full time Monday to Friday and am gone for 8.5-9 hours at most. I make time in the mornings and after work to take dogs out for walks and regular exercises as needed. My schedule typically revolves around the dog I’m watching. While sitting dogs I make them my priority and try to give them as much attention as they desire or you would at your home. There are parks and open fields nearby to play in and plenty of sidewalks to roam and get a leisurely walk in.

About: What sets me apart is real, everyday experience — I'm currently raising two young Dobermans at home, so I understand the exercise, training, and attention that active breeds need. Before them, I have had past dog-sitting work, means I can confidently handle puppies still learning the ropes as well as older dogs who just want a calm, reliable presence. I treat every dog in my care like part of the family. I am currently a medical student so I am able to care for pets throughout the day on weekdays during months where I have more free time. On walks, I will focus on safety and your dog's comfort. I will make sure to check the leashes before heading out, walk at a pace tailored to their energy and age, and remain alert to the surroundings. For home check-ins, I follow your care instructions exactly (feeding, water, meds, routine) and make sure your pet gets attention and affection while you're away. I will send photo updates and treat your home with care and respect, just as I would my own.

About: I have had dogs and cats all my life in my family. I also worked in a vet clinic for 2 years while I was in high school. I helped the clinic with miscellaneous tasks like cleaning but also provided a lot of hands on care for pets when it was needed! I work night shift as a nurse. I work 3 12 hour shifts per week so I have 4 free days per week that I would be available to help care for your pet. My schedule is not always consistent, so I won’t be able to promise the same days every week. I have 2 cats at my home. I do not have a fenced in yard, so any play time would be best at your home or on walks!

“This chick is phenomenal! She has a great personality and is very engaged with animals. My German shepherd loves her and even gets to play in the water with her. Her communication skills are stellar. I received live updates and photos while at work. If you want someone reliable and dedicated to your fur babies, she is it. I HIGHLY recommend her! <3”

About: I have had a dog of my own for 6 years and over the years have cared for neighbors, family friends, and other family members pets! I am a nurse so I have a natural caring way about myself that extends to pets when I get to care for them! I work typically 3 12 hour shifts a week leaving the rest of my week open to care for your beautiful pets! I am required to work every third weekend of the month, but other than that my weekends are typically open! I am unable to care for pets in my current apartment as my landlord does not allow pets. However when caring for your pets in your home I will give you, your space, and your pets my utmost respect and courtesy. I firmly believe in leaving a space the exact way I found it and leaving your pets happier than how I found them!!

About: I have always had a dog in my life and mostly care for my parent’s dogs however live in Wauwatosa in an apartment with no pets. My family currently has 2 dogs- a 9 year old Atlas Mountain dog named Mila adopted from Tunisia; she is obviously emotionally scarred and usually takes a bit to warm up to people- so I understand the dogs who need some space at first but I know to love & care for each and every dog the same. My other dog, Mavis, is a 6 year old high energy border collie! I have experience with visiting and caring for people in the area's pets and also having them stay with me at my apartment to go for plenty of walks and visit many parks near me. I miss living with animals so I happily take in pets to have the company. I will make sure your pet is loved and cared for fully at all times! I am currently working as a therapist doing clinical mental health counseling through a private practice so I am pretty flexible to work around your needs and schedule! Open to price adjustments to what fairly fits your situation best. I am very attentive to their needs and diligent to make sure they are fed, exercised, and cared for - will go above and beyond to care for others above all.

About: Hello! 🐶🐱 I have experience caring for all types of animals from a very young age. Over the years, I have cared for roosters, chickens, ducks, rabbits, dogs, kittens, and goats 🐔🦆🐰🐕🐈🐐. I truly enjoy spending time with animals playing with them, taking them on walks, and providing loving care such as bathing and daily attention. I began working professionally as a pet caregiver at the age of 20, offering my services to neighbors, friends, and family 🤍. I strongly believe that animals are incredibly intelligent, sensitive, and full of love. This work has given me many beautiful and meaningful experiences, all thanks to the wonderful pets that have come into my life 🐾✨ I recently arrived in the country and have been living in Milwaukee for a little over a year 🇺🇸🏙️ a beautiful city that I truly enjoy. I am currently looking for a part time job that allows me to balance my time between my studies and my work as a body piercing artist 💎✨. At the same time, I am seeking opportunities to do what I genuinely love and feel passionate about: caring for pets 🐶🐱. I enjoy walking them, providing attentive care, and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved 🐾💖. Working with animals brings me great joy, and I am committed to offering responsible, compassionate, and reliable care. I provide loving and attentive care both in my home and in my client’s home 🏡🐶. I live near a park, which allows me to take dogs on fun and safe walks, playtime, and exercise outdoors 🌳🦴. At home, I have a variety of toys and engaging activities to keep pets mentally stimulated and happy 🧸✨. I always follow each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and rest. My goal is to create a calm, safe, and loving environment where pets feel comfortable, cared for, and treated like family 🐾💖.

About: **update** I’ve moved neighborhoods! I now live near Wauwatosa! I do have a fenced in yard! I’ll still take clients in Bayview too! ☺️☺️ I had a dog in my house every since I was in elementary school, and loved each one of them more than anything in the world. I have been dog sitting since my mid 20s, and thoroughly enjoy taking care of and loving dogs of all sizes! I work close to home Wednesday through Sunday, no more than 7 hours at a time. That leaves plenty of time for several walks, playtime and the dog park(if allowed). I live 2 blocks from several parks and a 10 minute drive to 3 dog parks. Your pup(s) will get plenty of exercise and have free roam of my house, and can sleep wherever they choose including the furniture and beds(unless otherwise instructed:) )

“Dawn was super sweet and caring for our furbabies. She stopped by ahead of time to meet the gang prior to her drop in visits. She asked great questions and listened to our wishes for her visits. We have a blind dog that needed extra care and she took right to him. He can be challenging but Dawn came to him with great energy and he did not even grumble! She was prompt, courteous and kept us updated on the kids while we were away. I would highly recommend Dawn to anyone needing someone to drop by or dog sit for them! She was simply amazing... 5 STARS!”

About: I have grown up with Golden Retrievers my whole life as my dad hunted with them and trained them for Field trials. We always had three in our home. Once we even had a litter of puppies and there is nothing better than puppy kisses. I personally have had two Black labs, one that was so content to lounge and be a couch potato and my current lab at 8 years old fools everyone into thinking she is 2 or 3 with how active she is. Because of her I understand the importance of walks and her needing lots of exercise, new sights and smells. I have a flexible work schedule and typically only work 3 days a week so I can be there to ensure your pup gets what they need. Happy to play in the yard or walk as needed to make sure your pup is content. Just let me know what their rules are and I'm happy to follow to ensure they are happy and healthy.

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 for Dog 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 Dog 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 Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 2,157 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Wauwatosa. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Wauwatosa stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

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 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 dog, 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.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Wauwatosa. On Rover:

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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 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.
