“This was my first experience having a house sitter take care of my dogs while I was away. Deanne is such a nice person and was wonderful with my dogs! She kept me updated and sent pictures throughout the weekend. I look forward to working with her again.”
“I cannot say enough great things about Jack… His professionalism is top-notch, and his care for my two dogs could not have been better. He kept them on their routine with feeding and medicine, he was great, giving them daily exercise and care, and he just literally checks every box perfectly, and I felt lucky to have him as did my dogs”
About: I have had dogs and cats in my home since i was born. I currently live with roommates who have two dogs, and I am the one they rely on when both are gone or away for long periods of time. I work full time, I work mornings mostly and occasional afternoons but they are only about 4 hours. I am able to come in before mornings but I work at 6:30 am. other than that I can stop by anytime I am not working I take dogs out often, and love to play with them. I also enjoy playing with cats and will always make sure they have fresh litter.
About: Had cats all my life and dogs for last 12 years. Animals have a sixth sense about people and I'm one of those they seek out for rubs, cuddles, playtime, snacks and love... I'm working FT so im only available evenings after 5 and all times on the weekends. I'm also available for overnights at your location and can leave for work from anywhere. I will only be able to care for pets at your home as we currently have 2 cats (one who is very persnickedy) and a senior dog rescue who is going blind and is afraid of everyone.
About: I’ve been in the pet care industry since I was 18 years old! I started in dog daycares and ended up in the veterinary industry as a vet tech/assistant. I have since moved back home and plan on going back to school to get into human medicine, but would love to still spend time with animals! I’m currently going to school online, so I have a lot of availability! I would require just 24 hours notice in order to pet sit or walk your furry child! Unfortunately, I cannot have animals at my house besides my own. I have experience in pet sitting at others houses and I can also clean!
“Finally! We have found the perfect cat and house sitter. Terri did an amazing job taking care of both while we were gone for 2 weeks. Our house was just as clean as I left it (I am a little OCD when it comes to that) and our little ball of fur was happy. Terri sent pictures daily and updated us each day with how Callie was doing. You could tell from the pictures our kitty was relaxed and comfortable with Terri. I would highly recommend Terri to anyone looking for someone to care for their furry family member and home. She is amazing!!”
About: I've had my own rescue pup for 8 years, he is my pride and Joy. I have always loved animals and nothing makes me happier than being around them, Happy dog happy life! Your pets well-being is my top priority. Whatever your furry friend may need I can happily accommodate. I assisted at an in home boarding business for 4 years. I worked with all different breeds, ages, health conditions, and personalities! I also cared for Labrador pups from birth to when they were ready for the perfect home. I volunteered at Valley of the kings working mainly with the hundreds of rescue cats. I've also worked with farm animals and a few exotic animals at the sanctuary. I currently have a very open schedule, most days and most times work. Early morning can be arranged as well as late night, of course everything in-between. I am always very patient and loving with animals. I'll take the time to bond with your furry friend to establish trust and make sure the care is the best possible for them.
About: I love all pets and I have had the privilege of caring for family and neighbors dogs for days at a time while they are gone over the last few years. I’m very active and I run or walk most days so having a dog to do it with makes things more fun! Last year I had the opportunity to foster an elderly German Shepard in my college apartment and my friends and I had so much fun taking her on walks and playing with her. This year I will not be able to foster, but I am still hoping to make a difference in dogs and peoples lives using Rover! I am currently an undergrad student at the University of Tampa and besides a having a few classes throughout the week, my schedule is pretty lenient, so I am hoping to spend my spare time hanging out with and caring for your pet! I am available for boarding anytime of the week and can check up on dogs between classes and other commitments. I am also available most mornings and nights for long walks. I would like to come visit your dogs beforehand so we can get to know each other and learn exactly how they should be handled! In the past I have dealt with dogs that are agitated around other dogs, so I know how to handle them on a walk and won’t go anywhere or do anything you are uncomfortable with.
“Michelle was polite, courteous and professional. Overall, she did the best she could with my youngest rescue being timid to the point of going inside the house for the three days I was travelling. Not her fault and I would like to continue for future trips in hopes of her acclimating to my shy, timid boy.”
About: Dogs have always been a part of my life. I grew up with dogs and now enjoy my own dog and watching my kiddos create their own memories with our dog Jack. We enjoy the outdoors and go on a lot of walks and hikes with Jack. I am a teacher looking for a side hustle after 3pm on weekdays and full availability on weekends and Summer. I live in Lake Geneva and work in Elkhorn, so I am available there and surrounding areas within reason. I have two dog loving, energetic kids, a husband and a rescue pup named Jack. We all do well with dogs! ;) We live in a quiet, safe neighborhood with plenty of places to walk. We also have a nice yard to play in along with an endless supply of hugs and treats.
About: I've taken care of pets from as earliest as birth and into their elderly years, since I was 8. My family would occasionally breed our American Akitas. I've trained them, bathed them, cleaned up after them, and administered medications. They are a ton of work, but always worth the effort when we saw them finally meet their forever homes. I am available for whatever service you need, except for boarding, most days of the week except Thursdays after 2 pm, Fridays, and Saturdays before 2 pm. I am unable to care for your pet at my residence. We have 5 dogs here currently and I wouldn't want to overwhelm your pet with so many new faces. I am more than willing to be as accommodating as needed to care for them in your home, walking them, or simply letting out for a potty break.
About: I've had dogs since I was little. Love pets. I go for walks daily so a furry friends to assist me in these walks in ideal! Growing up we had two dogs since puppies and rescued an older dog! I am a natural care taker who loves animals! I am a teacher during the year so I am available all summer! Morning, afternoons, evenings! Weekend can get busier, but I am a flexible go with the flow person! Letting dogs out, watching them in the yard, leasing them up, taking them on walks, making sure they are fed and hydrated, occasional treats, all up my alley.
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and cats as well. I’m a huge animal lover! I’ve had golden retrievers, pit bulls, Rottweilers, and a mini golden doodle. We currently have a 3 month old Golden Retriever! I’m currently a Stay at Home Mom to a 17. Month old little boy and a 3 month old Golden Retriever! So I’m available all the time! My son is a huge animal lover already and will be joining me on check ins and walks so please keep that in mind! Your pets safety is my first priority.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Como
Jack took care of our puppy, while we were out of town overnight. His communication was very articulated and he was very prompt when arriving He was kind, thoughtful and very responsible. He updated us with pictures of our puppy during his stay. When we arrived home all was good. He even wash her doggy bowls. And during one of our communications, he was thoughtful to ask if I wanted him to make the bed, or strip the sheets in the bedroom he was staying in. I hired Jack in a heartbeat again.
I cannot say enough great things about Jack… His professionalism is top-notch, and his care for my two dogs could not have been better. He kept them on their routine with feeding and medicine, he was great, giving them daily exercise and care, and he just literally checks every box perfectly, and I felt lucky to have him as did my dogs

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Como on Rover is $52.03 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 725 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Como. 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 Como 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 Como 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 Como 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
