“Jorden provided overnight care for our house and 2 very needy cats. Jorden’s attention to (lots of!!) details ensured our cat’s needs were met and that they remained happy and comfortable. Jorden brought in the newspaper, mail, packages, and provided pictures and updates; all which reassured us all was good. Thanks so much Jorden…hope to see you again soon!”
“Quinn was very responsive and easy to communicate with. He was also flexible in setting up a time to do a meet and greet before we left. The dogs were well taken care of and the house was in excellent shape upon our return. Quinn was very thoughtful and tidy and even started laundry for his bedding and towels before we got home.”
“Anik was an amazing cat sitter! Excellent communication, genuine care, and incredible attention to detail throughout the entire stay. The cats received so much love and attention. Anik went above and beyond, including taking the time to train French Fry to run on the wheel! That extra effort and patience really showed how much Anik cared about making the cats happy and comfortable. We would definitely book with Anik for future care.”
“Matthew was great! He walked and cared for our Samoyed 10 month old and provided updates and pics. We definitely will contact him again. The house was in great shape on our return, too.”
About: I have been taking care of pets since I was a little girl. I grew up in a house who always had some type of animal and learned how to love on them and give them the attention they need. I am currently at home and have a lot of time on my hands. I’m very flexible and cooperative with my schedule and willing to give any animal love and support. I have an invisible fence for my two dogs. One of my dogs has a crate he sleeps in and the other sleeps in whatever bed she wants that night.
About: I’ve been around and taken care of dogs of every kind my entire life basically. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me since I was a little girl to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I currently dog sit full time, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I’m available for boarding all seven days of the week at anytime of need! I have a spacious yard and two friendly female dogs(both spayed) to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your dog if needed.
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: I’ve been a proud dog owner for over 15 years, and caring for dogs has always been a big part of my life. Over the years, I’ve gained hands on experience with dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments, from energetic puppies to senior pups. In addition to caring for my own pets, I’ve volunteered at local animal shelters, where I helped walk, feed, and socialize dogs from all backgrounds. I'm comfortable with a variety of breeds and activity levels, and I always tailor my approach to each dog’s individual needs, whether it’s a long walk for an active dog, playtime and enrichment for a curious pup, or calm companionship for an older one. My goal is to make every dog feel happy, safe, and loved. I don't have much experience with cats but am eager to learn and help any cat parent that needs it. I currently work from home and have a flexible schedule that allows me to check on or walk pets during the day or anytime during the week. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. Whether I’m walking your dog, visiting for a drop in, or staying in your home, I make sure each pet feels relaxed, secure, and loved. During walks, I always use secure leashes, avoid unsafe areas, and keep a close eye on your dog’s behavior and surroundings. For drop in visits, I follow your routine for feeding, playtime, and potty breaks to keep things consistent and stress free. When staying in your home, I treat your space with respect and keep everything clean and tidy while maintaining your pet’s usual schedule.
About: I've been caring for animals for as long as I can remember and truly treat every pet as if they're my own. I grew up around horses and farm animals, which taught me responsibility, patience, and how to confidently care for animals with different personalities and needs. In addition to caring for larger animals, I have years of experience with cats, dogs, puppies, and senior pets. I understand how important it is to leave your furry family member with someone who will love them like you do! My goal is to maintain your pet's normal routine as closely as possible. I'll keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages, so you can relax & enjoy your holiday, knowing your pet is happy, safe, and receiving lots of love and attention!! I currently work part-time and bartend a few evenings each week, so I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate many pet care needs. I'm available for morning and afternoon walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting throughout the week, with open availability on most weekends. On days I bartend, I'm happy to work around my shift to make sure your pet stays on their normal routine. I always communicate my availability in advance and make it a priority to give every pet the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. You'll also receive regular photo updates and messages, so you can have peace of mind while you're away!! Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I understand that every pet has their own routine and personality, so I take the time to learn their needs and follow your instructions closely. Whether that means sticking to feeding schedules, administering medications, reinforcing training, or making sure they get plenty of exercise and affection, I'll care for them just as you would. When caring for pets in your home, I treat your home with the utmost respect, keeping it clean, secure, and exactly as you left it. I always double-check doors, gates, leashes, and any safety concerns before and after each visit. Having over four years of professional pet & house sitting experience, along with growing up around farm animals, I'm comfortable caring for pets of all sizes, ages, and energy levels. Communication is important to me, so you can expect regular updates, photos, and quick responses while you're away. My goal is to make both you and your pet feel comfortable, confident, and completely at ease from the moment we meet!!
“Amanda was an outstanding sitter for my two dogs. One of my dogs is a senior and required a little extra TLC. Amanda kept me updated regularly and took some of the most beautiful photos of my pets! She was simply wonderful. I highly recommend.”
“This was our first experience using Rover and we We couldn't have asked for a better sitter than Jimmy. He was communicative throughout the entire process, sent us lots of pictures and videos of our puppy while we were gone, and left our house cleaner than it was when he arrived. We would absolutely recommend him to anyone and we hope he (and his dog Stella, who our puppy loved) is available next time we need a sitter.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 755 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Blue Mounds. 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 Blue Mounds 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 Blue Mounds 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Blue Mounds 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.
