“Heather was fantastic!! We have three elderly pets-two dogs and a cat. Heather administered medication and spent time with them so they weren’t lonely. They loved her and we enjoyed seeing the photos she sent us of them. We will be reaching out to Heather every time we need someone to drop in for our babies. Thank you so much Heather for giving us the ease of mind to have fun while we were away from home!!”
About: Hello! I have worked in boarding/daycare facilities for many years, along with doing my own care for friends and family dogs! Message me if you’d like more information! I currently work full time with a set in schedule. I am free almost every day besides Friday night unless you’d like a visit after 8pm. I also have my own very high energy boy and caring for these dogs is a normal activity in my life. I am someone who will help dogs know they're safe in my presence. I have never rushed any dog that shows any signs of being nervous. I will let them come to me when they are ready.
“Anna took such amazing care of our cat, Leonidas and they became great friends! She was so easy to work with, coordinate, and talk to. The photos and updates at every visit made me comfortable while we were traveling for 5 nights. I look forward to her watching our sweet old kitty again!”
About: What sets me apart is my four years of hands-on experience working at a pet retreat, where I cared for dogs of all sizes, breeds, personalities, and energy levels. I’ve worked with everything from playful puppies to senior dogs, and I’m comfortable handling different behaviors, temperaments, and individual needs. That experience has taught me how to read dogs, understand their body language, keep them safe and comfortable, and make sure they feel cared for while their people are away. I know every dog is different, and I take the time to learn what makes each one happy, comfortable, and confident. Most importantly, I genuinely love what I do. I treat every pet like they’re my own and want both you and your pet to feel completely comfortable and cared for while you’re apart. I work full-time during the week and decided to join Rover as a way to earn some extra money doing something I genuinely love — spending time with dogs! 🐶❤️ My schedule is flexible around my work hours. I’m available on weekends, and during the week I’m available around my lunch break or after 5 PM. I’m happy to work with you to find a time that fits both your schedule and your pet’s needs. Even though Rover is a side job for me, I take caring for your pets seriously and will always do my best to make sure they get the attention, care, and love they deserve! 🐾 I want every pet in my care to feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and individual needs so I can keep things as familiar as possible while you’re away. 🐾 I’m happy to follow your instructions for feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and anything else that helps your pet feel at ease. I also understand that some pets need lots of attention and activity, while others are happier with a quiet environment and some extra patience. With all of my experience working at a pet retreat, I’m comfortable with all kinds of dogs, personalities, and behaviors. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or taking them out for a walk or visit, my goal is always the same: to treat them like they’re my own and give you peace of mind while you’re away. ❤️🐶
“Quinn was kind, communicative, and reliable with Tetra’s check-ins. Tetra requires oral heart medication, and unfortunately when we returned home, I found two pills that she had spit out. Tetra can be tricky with medication, but confirming that she swallowed each pill is especially important for her care. I shared this feedback with Quinn afterward, and she was very receptive and appreciative that I let her know.”
About: Bilingual and able to communicate with families in Spanish, as well. Neighbors and friends have trusted me to care for their pets/homes for almost 7 years. They often say we're (my fiance and I) the only ones they trust to care for their pets. I have experience with senior pets and worked at a rescue previously. Excited to be going full time pet sitting/walking in 2026! I'm very reliable, flexible and am available last minute, 7 days a week and on holidays. I take extra care to keep pets happy, safe and comfortable. I follow instructions given and use caution when necessary to prevent any escapes. I do not do boarding in my home.
About: I love any and all animals. I have consistently been around animals since the day I was born. I have grown up with dogs and have 20+ years of experience caring and being responsible for them. I now have my own dog, a four year old corgi named Millie. I recently switched to a remote position, so I am available to care for your pet at home any day of the week with any kind of schedule. When I am not at work, I am home enjoying the day with my dog, Millie. Depending on the animal, Millie likes to play or will give them the space that they need. We go on lots of walks, play fetch, and work on puppy puzzles. I have a dog run in my building in case the weather doesn’t allow a long, outdoor potty break. There is a park that I frequently visit with my dog a couple of blocks away. Because I am a nurse, I can care for any of your pets medical needs and I will always keep an eye on them to make sure they are safe.
About: Nice to meet you! My name is Amanda, and I have over 16 years of experience caring for animals. I completed Veterinary Assistant coursework at Madison College and have worked in dog daycare, pet care, and grooming environments. I have experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, including puppies, seniors, anxious pets, and dogs with behavioral needs. I am comfortable administering medications, following detailed care instructions, and providing plenty of exercise, enrichment, and attention. I also enjoy sending photos and updates so owners can feel confident that their pets are happy, safe, and well cared for while they’re away. I work full-time caring for animals and am available for pet care before and after work, on weekends, and on many holidays. Pet sitting has been a part of my life for over 16 years, and I enjoy spending my free time caring for pets and helping owners feel comfortable while they are away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and any special instructions. I provide updates and photos during visits so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.

Heather was great with my 3 cats for a week! She followed my instructions and asked questions when needed. It gave me peace of mind knowing my cats were being well taken care of while I was on vacation. I loved the pictures she took! All cats liked her, one in particular that surprised me as she's usually standoffish with strangers but she really warmed up to Heather. Thank you!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Baraboo is $34 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 and $55 per visit. 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.
As of October 2026, there are 434 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Baraboo. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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.
