About: I have experience with cats, little dogs, big dogs, and everything in between! I work from home, and available to love up on your pet when you are away! My son loves animals as much as I do, and we look forward to help you with yours! I had a boxer/pit for almost 11 years. Sadly, he developed cancer and it was too much for him. He passed on 10/27/22. I have experience with Labs, Yorkies, Greyhounds, cats, birds, and fish. I love learning new things about different animals and breeds. I work Monday - Friday 7am-3:30 pm in Menomonie, but have flexibility to work from home occasionally. I am available to provide walks and potty breaks during the day as long as I can make it to and from your home within my break times. :) If they are here with me, they will have many outside breaks and hugs during the day. Your pets will be treated like they are one of our family. They will get attention and cuddles just like they would if they were our own. We will only accept one pet or family pets at a time to ensure that your pet(s) get the attention they deserve while staying with us! I'm willing to travel outside of the indicated radius; however, an additional mileage rate may apply depending on distance. This will be discussed at time of booking.
About: I’ve had pets my whole life, I’ve worked with seniors and puppies and everything in between! I’ve also worked at a doggy daycare and have done lots of grooming for both cats and dogs! I am available night and day! I am easy to reach and am ready to come at any time! I am a stay at home cat mom! I have 2 cats of my own, I give them the best nutrition and brain stimulation! I am constantly researching the best for both cats and dogs!
“Desiree has been the biggest delight to work with. Her communication is impeccable. Any questions I have asked she has responded immediately answering all questions and then some. We could enjoy our time away with family knowing our babies were in good hands. She kept me updated as to how they were throughout. We were so pleased that we have already booked our next visit.”
About: I have loved and cared for dogs my whole life. I’ve always had a dog since i was little and i always adored them. I have worked with dogs for about a year now at Camp Bow Wow, where we supervised play, grooming, and gave breakfast and dinner. I’ve had experience with almost every kind of dog you can think of, and I’m good in any kind of situation. I am only working mornings and am completely free in my late afternoon/ evenings. I would love to spend my free time with some furry friends i Typically bring my dog for a walk everyday! He is super active so i try to get him outdoors and get some energy out!
About: I have personal experience taking care of pets (kittens, cats, and dogs) since I was 4 years old, but my main experience comes from working for a year at the Eau Claire Community Humane Association. I've taken care of all dog ages: puppies and adult, senior, and aggressive dogs. I've also taken care of all cat ages: kittens and adult, senior, and feral/barn cats. I've worked with dogs of all sizes: <5 pounds all the way up to 150 lbs. I've also worked with 20+ lb. cats. My care experience includes general care, walking, nail clipping, giving medication (pills, shots/vaccines, IVs, etc.), and some behavioral work. Overall, I have a lot of experience in pet care and would love to care for your pet :)! I work seasonally (March-October) for the federal government in various states and am currently home until my next job. I am available most days/times, unless I have prior commitments. I do not currently own any pets due to my grandma living with us. I do not have a fenced-in yard, and our neighbor's dog is allowed into our yard at all times; therefore, I will not provide pet care at my home for safety reasons. For house sitting/any kind of care at the client's home, I am fine with any accommodations. I can make anything work and will make my #1 priority the safety of your pet.
About: I have worked for roughly two years dog sitting for friends and family. Typically these have been in my own home - occasionally overnight. I have a fenced in back yard for my 3 dogs & 2 cats so I have experience with both :) I have complete availability currently, so my dog at home gets quite a lot of walks and park time. If possible, i also try to socialize him with people each day. Typically I take my dog to the dog park in the evening with a long walk in the morning. This works best for my dogs energy levels, but each dog is different. I am also trying to socialize my dog in public as he is a bit scared of humans so we try to hit some breweries here and there.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since childhood. I personally have had large dogs and small dogs so I have experience with all sizes. I very much enjoy walking dogs, so if this is something you need, I offer this service as well. I currently work as a full time teacher. I’m available 6-7:00 to check in your dogs, feed and water and then at 4 pm til 9 in the evenings. Depending on how far you are from my job I can possibly pop in during the day to check in your dog. Your pet is welcome in my home and will be part of my animal family, they are welcome on the couch and they’ll have lots of place to run on my 17 acres place. As long as your dog is house trained they will have the main level to hang out with my dogs while I’m at work. The weekends I’ll around all day and if I’m out and about and the weather is not hot they can come in my car for rides.

FAQs for House Sitting - Albertville
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 138 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Albertville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Albertville 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 Albertville 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 Albertville 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 Rover Guarantee, 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.
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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
