“When you see all these reviews of Angela and think “there’s no way that can be true”. Trust me it is true. Angela was so amazing with my dog. This is our first time leaving her for this long and I could not have felt like she was in better hands. not only did I get enough picture updates, Angela was so kind and amazing to work with. her husband and her two kids were just all amazing people. Matter of fact, when I came to pick up my dog, I already asked her about future days so I would need a sitter for. If you’re wondering about a sitter who will keep your baby safe at home and who’s just a wonderful, genuine person, look no further than Angela.”

“Marilynn took care of our two sassy lil pups for an entire week. The sassy part is that they don't typically play nice with other dogs - unless they are at Marilynn's! She has worked her dog-whispering magic on them and they have become more sociable. They love Marilynn and we do too:)”

“Booking with Marie was a breeze! We had a quick chat to iron out the details, and I felt totally at ease leaving Gandalf in her care for our extended getaway. Throughout his stay, Marie sent us a few check-ins and adorable pics—Gandalf looked like he was living his best life! When we went to pick him up, it was clear just how much he loved his time with Marie—he didn’t even want to leave at first! He came home happy, tired, and slid right back into our routine, which speaks volumes about how comfortable he felt with her. Huge thanks to Marie for taking such great care of our little pooch!”

“Elizabeth and her family took really good care of my boy soap. They sent pics every day and updated text messages. I couldn’t be more satisfied with the care that they showed my fur baby and he had the time of his life also. I think he didn’t want to leave when I came to pick him up. Thank Elizabeth and family for taking such good care of my boy soap.”

“Kim and Tom are THE best . We’ve had many stays and all have been great . Processional/ Reliable and Safe . Poppy and Dudley the Pugs LOVE coming for visits and can’t wait for the next one .”

“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!”

“Dani & Aiden were great with our dogs and very accommodating. They are extremely flexible with timing and sent us plenty of pictures through out our dogs stay.”


“Cindy, Thank you so much for taking such good care of Gunner!! We really appreciate the pictures and updates you send to let us know that our "gentle beast" is being a good boy and getting along with the other dogs. I apologize for him taking up most of your bed. 😂 He thinks he is a lap dog! Anyone on Rover should know that their dogs would be under great care when they choose you as their sitter!!! Thank you again!!!”

“Gabriel did such a nice job keeping my 12 week old puppy overnight. His dog Mel and my puppy got along great. I will definitely book Gabriel again. Thank you Gabriel and Mel!”

About: Hi there! We are recently new residents to Milwaukee and the Lower East Side and we would love to make some new friends in the neighborhood! We have gained a lot of experience caring for a variety of different pets in Chicago for over a year on Rover before our move. Personally, both of our families owned dogs & cats throughout each of our childhoods which has given us a natural experience with pets as well. We look forward to the opportunity to meet your beloved dogs & cats! BOARDING CLIENTS: We have recently opened our services for boarding dogs in our apartment! I work remotely 5 days a week at home so your dog will have no shortage of attention and care! We are deeply considering getting our own dog soon, so we’re treating every boarding guest like our test run! Your pup will get all the love, structure, and attention we’re practicing for our future family member—plenty of walks, play, cuddles, and a calm apartment to call home while you’re away! Please ask us any questions you may have! Andrew works fully remote 5 days a week and the nature of my job is very flexible so I am able to step out if needed/when requested. Taylor is fully in office but may occasionally be available. Additionally, we’re particularly looking to use some of our free time we have on the weekends to care for some pets together! We want to earn your trust that your animals are safe with us, and respect your home & privacy in doing so. Kindly communicate your preferences and your pet’s needs so we can make sure we’re doing everything we can to facilitate a comfortable experience for you and your pet from start to finish!
“April & Brad took such great care of Rowan! We were so thankful to find someone to watch him a little last minute. They loved on him while we were away for the night and sent updates and pictures which made leaving him and missing him a little bit easier. Thanks again for everything! Rowan will definitely be back to enjoy the fenced-in yard & love you both gave!”

“Linda was amazing! She was able to accommodate my dog very last minute, which I truly appreciated. She was very kind and made sure my dog was comfortable and well cared for throughout her stay. She took her on multiple walks each day and kept me updated, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. This was my first time leaving my dog with someone I didn’t know, and Linda made the experience so much easier than I expected. I could tell that she genuinely cared about making sure my dog was happy and comfortable. I’m very grateful for the care she provided and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone dependable and caring to watch their dog!”


“Thee Best Sitter out there. Partner has stayed with Doreen many times now. He loves it there. He's always excited. Doreen is just the kindest person you'll ever me. She treats our pets as if they're her own. Cannot say enough good things about her. Thank you so much.”


About: I have had dogs of my own since I was 9 years old. I LOVE dogs--especially small ones! I have trained all of my dogs. I board friends' dogs in my home all the time, and am now excited to move into boarding strangers' dogs here on Rover! I work full-time, a mix of in-office and at home. I work from home on Thursdays and have flexibility on Fridays, so it works best for me to be able to provide boarding on long weekends (Thursday-Sunday). I am happy to provide your pet with seamless care and match what they are used to in your home. I have a large yard and a quiet neighborhood. My home has many rooms and I have some gates so that I can separate pets if needed. I also have a puppy play pen for smaller/younger pups who need their own space.
“Sherry was amazing watching my dog Mel! She was super communicative and sent lots of updates and photos about what they were up to. This was the first time I used Rover to find someone to watch my dog because it's hard for me to trust someone to care for Mel that way I do, but I would definitely trust Sherry with Mel again.”

“Thank you, Mary and family, for letting Bud stay with you! The pictures of him with all the visiting pups were great to see! Lots of familiar friends and lots of love from you and your family. Bud and I love all of you and appreciate how awesome you are to us! Just like an extended family.”

“Rebecca was wonderful with my dog Aspen. She was responsive and easy to communicate with, sent updates and photos, and took great care of my dog during her overnight stay. Thank you, Rebecca!”

Elizabeth K. and family, did an amazing job of carrying for my fur baby last week! She sent daily updates and photos to me about her, which I greatly appreciated. Tippy, felt right at home with them. I will be using them again in the near future. Thanks Elizabeth and family. ❤️🙏🏽🤗

Stephan was absolutely incredible! His communication was great, he gave us updates, and Finn seemed to have a wonderful time. We absolutely recommend Stephan and his services to any and every pet owner. We will certainly be using his amazing services again. Thanks again, Stephan!

Amy was absolutely amazing with Rylo! ❤️ I’m so thankful we were able to do a meet-and-greet with Annalise and Rylo beforehand because they played so well together. Rylo can be overly hyper at times, but Amy and her family did such a great job with him and kept me updated throughout his five-day stay. I really appreciated being able to arrange an early drop-off since I had an early flight the next morning. This was my first time ever having someone watch Rylo, so I was a little nervous, but Amy made me feel so comfortable knowing he was in safe hands. She kept me updated while I was away, and it was such a relief knowing he was happy and doing well. Amy and her family truly did an amazing job taking care of Rylo. I’m so thankful for them and will definitely be booking with her again in the future! 🐾❤️

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Boarding in Wauwatosa on Rover is $35.52 per night (as of September 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 853 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Wauwatosa. About 91% 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.
