“Emily was great at communicating with us the entire stay, and we could tell from all her updates and pictures that our pups loved having her around. Our flight ended up getting delayed because of the blizzard rolling through Wisconsin this past weekend, and Emily was able to help make sure our pups were let out and fed while we figured out how to get back to Milwaukee. I would absolutely recommend Emily to anyone else looking for expert and friendly care for their pups on Rover. Thank you again!”
“Evita was excellent! She is incredibly responsive and communicative. We greatly appreciated regular updates with pictures on how things were going while we were away. Along with our dog being well cared for, our house was also well tended. I will absolutely be reaching back out any time we need a sitter.”
“Jenn stayed at our house for a weekend away. One of our dogs recently went blind and we felt in-home care was our only option. Jenn didn't seem concerned about managing our blind dog, senior greyhound, and cat. I appreciated that she came out twice to the house to meet us and talk through our routine. I was also impressed that she read up a bit on greyhounds since Leo was the first greyhound she watched. She was great about communicating her schedule and sending us pictures. We would definitely try to schedule with Jenn again.”
“Joseph watched my dogs for a full week. He was in constant communication with us, sent tons of pics, it was obvious the dogs were well taken care of! Thank you so much Joseph!!!!”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life! I’ve grown up around dogs of all sizes, especially larger breeds, and have plenty of hands-on experience caring for them. I’ve personally owned two Pit Bulls, one weighing 70 pounds and the other 132 pounds, along with a Pomeranian, so I’m very comfortable handling dogs with different sizes, personalities, and energy levels! My family has always had larger dogs and has trusted me to care for their pets while they’re away. I’ve also helped friends with cat sitting, so my love and experience extend beyond just dogs! For the past year and a half, I’ve been a stay-at-home mom, which has taught me even more about patience, responsibility, and maintaining a loving, attentive environment. I understand that pets are family, and I want every pet in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether your furry friend needs walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, or just some extra love while you’re away, I’ll treat them with the same care and attention I’d give my own pets! As a stay-at-home mom, I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate a variety of pet care needs throughout the week, including weekdays and could be flexible depending on weekends. I’m happy to provide dog walking, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and companionship while you’re away. My 1½-year-old would accompany me during visits, so I ask that pets be comfortable and safe around young children. I understand how important it is to find someone dependable to care for your furry family members, and I’m committed to providing reliable, loving, and attentive care while working around your pet’s individual routine! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities! While I do not offer pet care in my own home, I’m more than happy to provide care in the comfort of yours, where your pets can remain in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routines. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, including large breeds, as well as smaller dogs and cats. I understand that every animal has its own personality, needs, and boundaries, and I always take the time to make sure they feel safe and comfortable. Since my young child accompanies me, I only accept pets that are comfortable around toddlers. I prioritize safe interactions, close supervision, and respecting each animal’s personal space. I’m also happy to follow any specific feeding schedules, walking routines, household rules, or special instructions you provide. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pets are receiving dependable, compassionate care while you’re away!
“Thomas did a great job taking care of our boys. The dogs got plenty of attention and exercise. He kept the boys on their regular schedule and checked in often with pictures and updates. We hope to book again in the future.”
“Rebecca was phenomenal with my little critters! Excellent communication throughout the week and she was able to adjust last minute to needing to give my dog extra TLC and medication. I highly recommend her for your pet-sitting needs!”
“Ryan was fantastic! He took great care of our very large dog, who can be reactive at times. I completely trusted him while we were away for a week. We received lots of updates like we asked. He gave our dog medicine without any issues. We came home to a very happy pup and a spotless house. Ryan even got our mail and watered our flowers while we were away, which was super nice. We highly recommend him and already have our next trips booked with him!”
“Jessica was great! Super communicative and sent lots of pictures! My boys are a handful and don't like strangers, so if she can handle them she can handle any high maintenance pups!”
“Ashley was So responsive and Wonderful with my boys! Thankful she was able to watch them in their house!! Will definitely book again if she is willing to watch them!!”
“Elizabeth was a dream. This was our first time booking with her and she was a great communicator, so incredibly kind and gracious. She took such great care of our 3 crazy pups and our home, even leaving us a little treat and note for when we returned. So grateful for her, her flexibility and the care our dogs received :)”
“Cathy was fantastic! She was very easy to work with, and very friendly to our dog, Joey. You can tell she has plenty of experience with pets. We definitely plan on hiring her again!”
“Nikki did an excellent job caring for our puppy, Moose, and Kitty, our 10yo cat! She stayed in our home, which was great for our pets, because in the past we’ve utilized drop-in sitters, and they did not drop-in as often as they should have. But with Nikki there, they had plenty of attention since she was staying at our house and working from our house. She went above and beyond in making sure that our house was clean when we arrived home. She sent pictures and updates and even watered our vegetable plants while we were away. If you need an in-home pet sitter that will lessen the stress on your pets (and you) while you are away from home, consider Nikki!”
About: When you book with me; you will be booking my entire family; including 3 kids. Your dog must tolerate children. Ever since our dog passed away in 2020, we have been getting our dog fix through dog sitting and are having the best time doing so. We are very experienced, responsible, and loving. Our house is busy but always filled with people. I work out of the home during the week and am off on weekends. We do prefer crate trained dogs, but that’s not required. We have a giant fenced in yard, a clean home and lots of love ready to share with your dog. At this time, we only watch dogs in our home. Also, although I have a family, I will be the primary caretaker of your dog.
“Melissa was a HUGE help, stepping in over the holidays for a long house-sitting service when a previous sitter had to cancel last-minute. She is personable and communicative, shared lots updates during the stay, and took good care of our house. Our dog and cat were in great hands, and it felt wonderful to come home to relaxed happy pets. Happy to recommend!”
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!!
“Raychel did a great job with house sitting and taking care of my animals while I was gone for close to a week. They got a lot of attention and I came back to a house that was clean and just as I had left it. Will definitely book again with Raychel.”

I love all animals and would love to help care for your furry family member(s). Willing to work with your schedule, as I am a stay at home parent.

I’ll be able to care for dogs and cats alike. I will utilize your home and yard however you prefer, for the accommodation of your pet/pets. As well as any crate training or other specifics you may prefer for your pet.
“Marilia is fantastic! We felt very comfortable leaving our two dogs overnight in our home with Marilia even after meeting her for the first time. Our girls were happy and healthy when we returned, and we feel even better about having Marilia take care of Rae and Frankie sometime in the future! Thanks Marilia!!!”
About: Hey! My name is Jillian and i’m here to make you and your pets life easier. Personally I have 1 dog of my own, 2 hamsters and 1 leopard gecko, so I have a lot of experience with all different types of animals. I also have done many drop in visits for friends over the years, dog walks, and over night stays, so you can be sure I will provide the best expiernce to your pet that I can and have done in the past for other pets. I am willing to take care of any pet you may have as long you just give some information on what I can do to make them comfortable. Thank you for taking the time to ready my profile and i’m excited to meet your pet! Currently I am working a steady 4 days a week from 7-3pm on Monday, Tuesday, Thrusday and Friday, so any time after that I should be able to provide care. For Wednesdays I’ll be at class at random times but will have free time periodically, and then for Saturday and Sunday I should be free at any time unless I have something planned for that day. I currently walk my dog every day so I have lots of experience dealing with a bigger dog on walks, and I also make sure he gets 2 good portioned meals a day and a treat in the afternoon after his walk! I will do the same for your dog unless they have a special diet or meal times that I need to know about. I also make sure to play ball with my dog everyday because he has lots of energy! With my smaller pets they are also fed twice a day and I always make sure they have water and I try to put something enriching in there cage especially while i’m gone.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - West Allis
Margaret came and stayed 2 nights with our 2 furbabies, ages 8 and nearly 14. I had never needed to find a non-family pet sitter, so I was quit nervous about the whole thing. But Margaret was amazing in so many ways. Our "pups" took to her immediately and so did we. And when we came home we could tell just how well she took care of EVERYTHING for us. I will never hesitate to book her in the future. Now we may even be able to take future short trips, knowing our dear pups are being so well cared for by Margaret.
Stephany did a phenomenal job watching my dogs overnight. I was nervous at first as it was my first time leaving them with someone besides family. However, stephany went above and beyond. Following their usual daily schedules, taking them for walks, and updating me regularly with photos and videos. I could tell that they were comfortable with her and really liked her! I will absolutely re book stephany again in the future, she will take wonderful care of your pets and home while you are away. Thank you Stephany!
Kerry watched our two girls for 5 days at our home. We have an Aussie and a Terrier mix and the Aussie can be anxious when we are away. Kerry was awesome and we could tell when we returned that the girls were calm and well taken care of. She asked thoughtful questions to make sure she knew about their preferences/routine and gave us updates along the way. Highly recommend!
Sarah is an absolute star - we’re so lucky to have found her on Rover! Our dogs are so happy and comfortable with her, and we know we can rely on her 100%. Consistent photos and updates, and when we get home, the dogs are so chill that it’s like we never left.

The average cost of House Sitting in West Allis is $50 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $29 and $78 per night.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred West Allis walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in West Allis maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 West Allis 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!
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
