About: I have a lot of patience with dogs, I consider them great potential friends. I have 2 dogs and we walk several times a day with no problem. I like give them a good time walking and smelling, so after that they can feel more relaxed. I’m a Graphic Designer and I work independently, so I can manage my own time. This allows me to spend part of my daily time with dogs. I have two friendly dogs, they enjoy the company of other dogs. But anyway for now, I’m taking care of dogs out of my house.
About: I have years of experience since a young age and am still growing now! We have a 7 yr old emotional support dog at home who’s a shitzhu. We also have 2 cats. I wouldn’t change it for the world. They are my friends, family and companions. I work odd hours however have lots of free time available. I can always check on your furry friends before or after work or days off. Also my girlfriend will be available to stop in when I can’t and would be happy to meet you as well! Thank you :) I care for my pets as if they are family and give them all the love they deserve. Feeding, Watering , Walking , Traininig etc. They deserve to be treated just like our babies.
About: I’ve raised three well behaved dogs with lots of love. I understand that every dog has a unique personality. I adapt to their needs and care for them like family. 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I’m available Mondays and Fridays from 1:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. and on weekends starting at 1:30 p.m. During that time, I’ll provide plenty of attention, exercise and playtime with your pet! I create a safe, calm and loving environment where pets feel comfortable and cared for. I follow each pet’s routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, medications (if needed) and plenty of affection. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages, so you can have peace of mind while you’re away!
About: I’m a lifelong dog owner that absolutely loves animals, and gets so much joy from being around them. I have raised dogs from puppies into their senior years, and also have significant experience with brachycephalic dogs. I’ve owned Frenchies, a Boston and a Boxer, so I’m incredibly familiar with the additional care these breeds might require. From eye drops to ear drops to pills to medicated baths, you can trust that I’ll take care of your pup as if they were my own. My boy, Wilbur, passed away last year and while I’m not ready to get another pet, I’d love to take care of yours. I do work full time with a required in-office presence, so I leave home around 6:30 am and return by 3:30 pm. I’m generally more of a homebody - my evenings and weekends are spent reading, watching tv, going for walks, and enjoying the occasional trip to the beach. Since I am a relatively quiet person, I take pride in creating an environment that is calm and comforting. While being in someone’s home I think it is critical to respect that I’m in someone else’s space, and maintain routines that your pet is used to. I want to ensure that their life is disrupted as little as possible.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your postal code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighbourhood.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Beaver Dam 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!
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.
- Garbage & recycling: Taking garbage bins 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 Beaver Dam walking routes, the location of your favourite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
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 Beaver Dam 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!
You can find what you need to review a sitter on their profile before booking with them. Each sitters’s profile on Rover shows verified reviews, a background check, and ratings to give a glimpse of how their previous visits went. You can also use the Meet & Greet to walk through your home, identifying which areas, like your bedroom, are off-limits or not. Requesting details of your home security through the app can also be a good way to have your sitter keep you updated about your home.
If you have security cameras or doorbells, Rover asks that you disclose them to sitters before you book.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they do not have any disqualifying offences.
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.
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.
Payment is handled securely through Rover. For a one-time booking, your payment method is charged at the time of checkout when you submit your booking request. This charge will include fees payable to Rover. Your booking is confirmed once the sitter accepts it.
If the request is not accepted, the pending charge is released in 1-7 days. How long it takes to disappear from your account depends on your payment provider.
For eligible recurring weekly services, you are charged for the first week when you book and then each Monday for the upcoming week. You’ll see the full price before you confirm. Always pay through Rover so your booking remains eligible for the Rover Guarantee and support.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
