Pet 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!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Boarding in Wauwatosa on Rover is $35.23 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 Pet 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 877 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Wauwatosa. About 92% of Wauwatosa sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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 pet, 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.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
