About: Hi! My name is Nikki! I am a yoga, travel, and pet lover! I have years of experience fostering dogs and cats in the past. I have fostered special needs cats and dogs and do have experience in that area. My last experience was fostering a beautiful one eyed special needs pup who got adopted within weeks! I can't wait to start meeting new furry friends! I have a very flexible schedule! I am home all day as I work remote in Human Resources. I am available all day and have a very flexible schedule for last minute needs. I know that things come up with busy schedules and I am very accommodating for those last minute emergencies. I am home all day working and am available for frequent potty breaks or walks. I am very active as well and don’t mind longer walks with active dogs. I am available for walks or visits in a home. I’m also available for day care/boarding with my wonderful cockapoo - Johnny, who loves all animals. Open to bed cuddles if needed!
“Genevieve is an absolute DREAM dogsitter. We booked her to watch our older dog at her place while we traveled. She was perfectly suited for this type of booking on all levels. Super communicative, responsive, & kind. She kept our pup active and took her on some fun excursions! 10/10!”
“My Boone had the best time with Angie. He played a lot with another pup that was staying with her and Angie sent regular pics and updates several times a day keeping me informed about his day. I have already booked Angie for Boone’s next playcation. 💖💖💖💖💖”
“We loved Kristine and our pups did too! She was very communicative and sent lots of pictures throughout the stay! We will be back for another visit for sure!! 10/10 recommend!”
“Ester did such a good job with our Golden Retriever! We reached out last minute and she was so accommodating. Quick response time, and Tucker had a blast. 🐾💗”
“Lacey was an amazing dog sitter! This was our first time leaving our 1year old lab and she handled him with such grace. We received so many updates and videos throughout the weekend. She took such great care of him - he came home as though nothing had changed. Dune was also such a wonderful pup companion. I would rebook again and again!”
“Krystal was very welcoming of Rosie! She sent updates and pictures daily. Rosie had fun playing with Krystal’s dogs. I recommend Krystal to watch and love on your pup!”
“Molly was awesome! She did such a great job taking care of our two big dogs for 5 days. Molly was a quick, responsive communicator and shared photo updates of our pups through their stay with her. You can tell she loves animals, and both of our dogs got tons of love and attention from Molly. Highly recommend!!”
“Blythe is absolutely wonderful!! We have never used a service like this for our Dobie and I was very nervous. Blythe was very easy to get along with and she made sure to send pics and updates daily which put my mind at ease. I highly recommend her to anyone thinking about using this service. Also our guy is an older dog (11) For us it was perfect that she only has one dog at a time. Bentley seemed to be very relaxed and comfortable with her!”
“Maria and her husband were great! They accepted a last minute boarding request from us, and we were able to drop off our dog within the hour! They were very accommodating, kind, and our dog had so much fun with them! They send pictures throughout the day so we could make sure he was doing okay, and he absolutely loved his stay. We will definitely be booking again, and we recommend Maria highly!”
“Our dog’s stay with Lisa was awesome. Lisa really seemed to truly care for our dog as if she was her own, and I felt entirely comfortable that our dog would be well loved while we were away. Great communication, great experience!”
“Auria was amazing. Just like everyone has said, she is very responsive and took great care of our dog Georgia. She even sent pics and a note before I asked how it was going. I think she knows that leaving our pets is not easy so she made it as comfortable as possible so we could go away and enjoy our weekend. I definitely recommend her!”
“Kristi did a great job, our two small dogs were happy when we picked them up and we could tell they were not stressed when we were gone. She snuggles with them on the couch and lets them sleep on the bed. They got along great with her dog. They even got homemade healthy treats. She let us come for a visit before their stay so it would not be a strange place for them to go. She is also 10 minutes from the airport. Will defiantly use Kristi again.”
“Chelsea was amazing taking care of my basset hound for the week! She kept me up to date every day with pictures and videos, and was very responsive. She made time to meet us ahead of my trip to get to know each other which I really appreciated. She goes above and beyond and I knew my handful of a girl was well taken care of, played with, and definitely enjoyed her week. Highly recommend Chelsea and will definitely be using her services again!!”
“Absolutely the best! Our dog was so happy. We got pictures every day while we were on vacation. Will absolutely use Erin again and her dogs are the best!!! Hi to Ruben & Norm😊”
“Jasmine did a lovely job with our very senior pup. Despite the relatively late booking for the holiday period and difficult logistics for drop off/pick up, she was very polite and helpful with our dog!”
“Snyder had a wonderful stay with Erin! She sent us pictures and communicated daily so we were assured he was in good hands. Her dog, Woodson was also a good host to keep Snyder company. We would love to book another stay!”
“Paul did an amazing job watching our pup! He "warned' us that he would try to exceed our expectations, and no question he absolutely did. We loved all the updates with photos, and the numerous offsite visits to parks was so fun to see. So comforting while we were such a long distance away. We'd recommend Paul to anyone!”

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.

The average cost of Pet Boarding in Wauwatosa is $36 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $62 per night. On Rover, 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.
There are 830 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Wauwatosa. About 90% 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 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 Meet & Greet.
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.
