“I would highly recommend Lily to anyone looking for pet care!! She was communicative, professional and flexible, and Melo loved her from the start! She was open to all of the needs I requested and made sure Melo got the care he needed the entire stay. She even went out of her way for our meet and greet which was super appreciated! She sent updates and photos during the stay and I felt 100% comfortable knowing Melo was in good hands. Will definitely book again!”
“Katrina was wonderful caring for our dog while we were away for our wedding!! She was helpful and kind, and communicative about how our dog was doing with funny stories and pictures. Pippin seemed to love his time - we would absolutely take him back to Katrina if needed!”
“Karen and family are just incredible when it comes to taking care of our fur child. Lambeau is pretty spoiled and highly energetic, and Karen totally embraces it. She is super flexible and caring, and we're lucky to have found her!”
“Angela was a fabulous sitter - we will definitely leave our dogs in her care in the future. She was eager to meet them in advance of watching them and flexible with that timing. She was also willing to work around some logistics with a family member dropping off our dogs at her place, which was very helpful. While we were gone, she was communicative and sent photos. We appreciated receiving her updates. We were were very pleased to come home to happy dogs. I highly recommend Angela!”
“My dog's loved being at Amanda's! I got so many cute pictures while we were away and you can tell they enjoyed cuddling with her and her son. Our pups were truly treated like family and I have already booked my dogs next stay with her.”

“Blythe was fantastic with Roxee! She asked questions about her behavior/preferences/ habits to give Roxee the best experience! She communicated well and made me feel comfortable she was in good hands. I would definitely recommend Blythe!”
About: I am currently a foster parent for the Humane Society and have grown up with dogs all my life. I have crate and potty trained several puppies and worked with older dogs on behavioral needs. I am off of work in summer and have availability to spend time with pets! I can take dogs for a walk or just play with them. I’m used to caring for my foster animals throughout the day. I have a medium sized crate in my apartment, along with a park and trails right across the street! There are plenty of nice walks and a fenced in pet park nearby.
“I’m super grateful to Rachel and Matt. They were such kind, attentive sitters to Chloe. They have a large, enclosed back yard in a safe neighborhood and two sweet, well trained dogs to play with. They took her on walks AND runs! They sent me adorable videos and photos of Chloe during her stay. She usually doesn’t eat much when staying with sitters but she ate even more than usual - showing how comfortable and well exercised she was at their home. I think she misses her vacation home! I will definitely be requesting Rachel and Matt for doggy care in the future!”
“Great experience ! Staija took amazing care of our dog Bruno for two weeks. She was reliable, loving, and kept us updated with photos and messages. Bruno was happy and well cared for the entire time. Highly recommend her!”
“Joe was very responsive throughout the process and we had a nice meet and greet with our pup before a 5 night stay. We got daily communication and photos and it seems like our pup had a fun time. Would recommend.”
About: Hi! I work mostly remotely, and have a big love for pets! I am also a painter and a muralist (you’ll see my dog, Mouse in front of a couple murals). Currently I do not have a pet, but have always had dogs growing up (mostly labs and poodle mixes). I'm very active and love to take walks and runs and frequently practice yoga (sometimes at home). Currently I have plenty of time to care for a pup and have dogsat for many of my friends's pets. Your dog will be well cared for and loved and pretty much, just by my side! I lost my dog a few years ago and he was the best companion ever. Definitely will always have a soft spot for frenchies. ❤️ I am usually working remotely, so I have flexibility in terms of dog walking and boarding. I am happy to pop in to walk your dog, board them with me or stay at your home. I have plenty of space in a warehouse loft/elevator building. There are other friendly dogs in this building. I live downtown so I’m happy to walk the dog to the lake, less than a mile away and through the third ward. I typically end up going for walks along the lake. I’m happy to go for a walk for any amount of time.
“Amazing experience with Kathryn! Our pup was well cared for during her stay. Incredible timely communication and updates with pictures. Coco is looking forward to another visit in future.”
“We had Kristi watch our dog, Roxie, for a few days. It takes Roxie some time to warm up to new places and people. When Roxie wasn’t eating much, Kristi gave her some extra treats and tried some other foods to get her to eat a bit more, which I appreciated. We will use Kristi again!”
“We searched high and low for the right place and people to care for our dog Stella, and we could not be more grateful to have found Carol and Steve. Carol and Steve were ideal people with whom we could safely leave Stella. They have an incredibly well-maintained (and absolutely gorgeous) property of which the backyard is completely fenced in, which gave Stella plenty of time and space to run around and sniff to her heart's content. My husband and I were certain while we were gone that Stella was getting as much exercise and outdoor time as she wanted. This was a wonderful reassurance as we had never boarded her anywhere else before and were nervous that she'd have to be stuck in a kennel or a room for most of our absence. Not so once we found this wonderful couple! Carol and Steve followed our instructions for Stella to the letter and it was clear they were both very comfortable and at ease taking care of our dog. No issues whatsoever and we have absolutely nothing but positive things to say about our experience with them. Possibly the BEST part about having booked with Carol and Steve is their impeccable communication. We never - at any point - had to wait long for a response, whether we were asking a question or just communicating logistics regarding Stella's stay. They also made sure to send along regular update messages with pictures while we were gone, typically twice a day. This factor alone made this the most relaxing trip we've taken as a family to date. It gave us complete peace of mind to read and see that Stella was not only doing okay, but was being well taken care of, snuggled, loved, played with, and included as a part of their home. What a treat to find people who will care of your pet the way that you would yourself. We can't recommend Carol and Steve highly enough. Do yourself a favor and hire them. They're exceptional!”
“Gianina took really good care of our dog Mia during our week long vacation. Mia fit right in with her dogs golden retrievers and her 2 children loved her too. She kept us informed with daily postings of her which we looked forward too. Thank you for taking such good care of our dog. I would highly recommend her.”
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs all my life. I grew up showing dogs, both my family dogs and others. My family back home currently has three dogs, each a different size, from small to large, so I have experience with all sizes. I live in a great area for casual walks, with a dog park and a small lake nearby for the pups that are allowed to swim! I work full-time, in-office Monday through Thursday and from home on Fridays. I take daily walks around my neighborhood in the evening. On weekends, I love exploring a new coffee shop and walking trail or just a longer walk in the areas near me. I’d love to bring your pet along with me on walks and for downtime on the couch afterwards! I don’t have a fenced yard, but there is a dog park where your pup can run freely. Outside of that, we have open grass areas where we can walk. All pups are welcome on furniture at my place and are welcome to enjoy the space as their own. I do have a patio that they’re more than welcome to sit outside and enjoy with me.
About: Having pets all my life has given me pet care knowledge and ability to care for pets of all ages and abilities. I have had cats, dogs, bunnies and fish (currently a single cat household) throughout the years. While in college I worked as a Vet Tech and did pet sitting for clients of the vet clinic. Your pets will be loved and cherished in your home or in mine. I provide all levels of service from dog walking, drop-in daily visits, boarding or medical care visits. Currently working full-time as a pet sitter/dog walker. Available all day for all levels of service from daily walks, drop-in and medical care visits and boarding. My home is a smoke-free, fenced in yard, single cat household in the Milwaukee/Wauwatosa area. Willing to travel to provide boarding services in your home if needed. Any location in the Milwaukee area and within 30 miles.
The median cost per night for pet boarding in Wauwatosa is $45
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Wauwatosa
Cindy was amazing. We were in a emergency situation when our dog had to have emergecy surgery on Thursday and we had a trip out of town the following Wednesday. Cindy came through for us. She was very responsive and took great care our dog (his diapers, his medication, his exercise). She sent a daily update that kept us calm while we were away. We highly recommend her and will be using her again.
Stephan was such a great host for our dog Beef Stick! He was super helpful and accommodating with all our needs and especially with the small things we wanted. He made sure our guy was well-fed, walked and had lots of play and cuddle time, he even gave us plenty of updates throughout the stay. He also was generous with scheduling when we were limited on drop off times, which he absolutely didn’t need to be but did so out of his own kindness. We will absolutely be using him again and recommend his service.
Amy and her family provide an excellent boarding at her home. She has been our main sitter for awhile. She is very communicative, can give liquid and pill medications. Keeps the dogs active, fenced backyard and little that enjoy reading books to our pups! Recommend her without reservation.
Tracy was really amazing with my dog Lady. She sent plenty of pictures and videos showing Lady having a great time while in her care. Tracy went above and beyond and accommodated a last minute extension and kept Lady two extra days for me. I would definitely book with Tracy again.

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 .
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.

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.
