“Samantha was wonderful! She was super communicative while doing her drop-ins and sent so many photos! My dogs seemed to love her and it made me smile to see how well they took to her. As an anxious fur mom, knowing they were in good hands was priceless. 🤍 I highly recommend her to anyone looking for car for their fur babies.”
“Tonisha took great care of our kitties while we were on vacation! We really appreciated the photos and videos she sent every day. We would love to have her sit for us again in the future!”
About: I’ve been dog sitting for a couple years now. I’ve had experience from little to big dogs. From a basenji, labrador, german shepherd, great pyrenees mix, a yorkie, and a few other breeds! Friends rely on me to exercise, feed, and give attention to their fur baby. 😊 I have plenty of time on the weekends! I’m currently available at any time Friday-Sunday to take care of your sweet pets! Can start at any point of the day or night! I take care of pets as if they were my own! 🥰 I care about their safety, what they eat, who comes around them, how much outside time they get. I promise to take care of them and give them all the attention. I want to be able to give them some love and snuggles while watching some tv. I make sure to stick to their food schedule and like to let them out every 2-4 hours. Daily exercise is important to me, I like to go on walks and can always use a walking buddy! 🐶
About: We’ve both grown up with dogs and around a variety of animals. I also had a cat as a young person and cared for cats of roommates. I’ve house-sat and pet-sat from Europe to Florida and back to Wisconsin. No kids, no other pets, we’d love to love & spoil your boo while you’re away. I work full time, typically Mon-Fri 7ish to 4ish. I’m typically home weekends. There is some flexibility with my schedule if I know in advance. I have the potential for half days or additional work from home if your pet needs more frequent attention. We have a fenced in yard with plenty of room for them to roam (supervised). We’re cuddle friendly so pets are allowed on the furniture & bed, but we’ll work with you to maintain their habits and training. They can be left free, crated, or contained to a particular room as needed. Any other questions just ask!
About: I have been a dog momma and lover for years. They are my world and I am theirs. Yours will be taken care of at the same level I care for my own! I am sincerely drawn to dogs when I see them. They've got so much love and joy to offer this world, how could you not? I have 3 labs currently and have trained all of my dogs from babies on up. We have almost always maintained a 3 dog household, they get walks everyday so long as the weather permits and plenty of playtime. Rest assured, your pup will be taken care of in the same respect and manner as I care for my own. I work from home so can make time for lunch time appointments if close enough to my home, I work until 5 so can be available in the evenings until 9pm, except for Wednesdays I have volleyball either at 6:30 or 7:30, but can still make appointments work in there. Also around most weekends except for family events here and there and two vacations we take a year. :) I protect them with my life. I love my babies so deeply and am so thankful I work from home so I get to be with them everyday. Yours will be treated no different. Dogs have so much love and joy to offer the world and they only deserve the same in return.

I have my own 2 Fur babies at home. One being a 2 year old boxer and the the other being a 3 year old mix. I know a lot about animals because I grew up with them. I have worked with a vet in Wisconsin a bit too so I know how to look for signs of sickness.

About: Hello! My name is Jade, I am a freshman in college at UWW. I have watched my neighbors, friends, extended family, and even co workers dogs before. I trained the dog that I have now and even some puppies. I absolutely love animals (especially dogs). I can feed them, take you dog out on walks, train, play with them, and get them to settle down. I am a very loving and extroverted person so it will not take me long to get to know your animal. I am hoping to start soon so if you are interested or have any more questions message me! I’m available for morning dog walks on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. On Mondays, I’m free in the morning as well. During the week, Tuesday through Thursday, I’m available for walks in the early afternoons before 4 PM. I treat every dog like my own. Whether I’m staying overnight to keep them comfortable in their own home or popping in for a walk, I focus on making them feel safe, happy, and loved. I’m attentive to each dog’s routine, energy level, and quirks—ensuring they get personalized care.
“Shatoria took such great care of our three gals while we were away, providing lots of photos from each visit and making sure they were all given plenty of attention. You know your pets will be in good hands if you book with her. :)”

She loves everyone. I am a teacher and have off during the summer. I enjoy hiking, camping, biking, running, reading, gardening, and cooking. I’m currently on summer break, so my days are very flexible. During the school year, I am available before 7am or after 4pm. I have a very friendly goldendoodle. I have a big yard. I am willing to provide lots of love, playtime, and walks for your dog. I can be active with your pet or sit with them and love them up. Whatever you need, I can provide.
“Carley is a delight and such a wonderful sitter! Incredibly sweet and a natural with animals, I had no worry at all leaving my pups in her care. Regular check-ins and photo updates throughout the weekend. I highly recommend Carley and will definitely try to book her again.”
About: I have had dogs and cats while growing up and I currently work at a dog boarding facility where I work with dogs or cats with all different kinds of personalities and needs! I am looking to provide house sitting, drop-ins, and dog walking! Depending on the day, I usually have full availability and keep my calendar updated. During the months of June and July, I babysit half days so I am looking to do drop-ins or dog walks either in the morning or afternoon! During August, I will be available during weekends and in September, I start online college so I will be available most days! In my home, I currently take care of my 3 cats. I play with them whenever I get the chance. At my work, I take care of dogs and cats and always make sure they are getting activities in during the day!
“Emily and her family are by far the BEST sitters I have ever had! They are so sweet, communicative, flexible, and knowledgeable. I hope to use them every time I need extra help with my buddy.”
About: I have been around animals all my life and even gravitate towards animals versus people in most social situations. I have cared for small Poodles and Terriers, as well as Labs and Great Danes. When I was in middle school, I taught my Golden Retriever obedience and agility. I put 110% effort into all jobs I am hired for because it’s truly something I love. I am an active individual who also loves to snuggle up on the couch with a good book. So whether your pet is an active walker or a cuddly couch potato, I promise to provide them with the love care they need while you are away. I can't wait to sit for your family and help ease your worry while you’re away! Before going to work as a teacher, I would make sure to check in on your pet in the morning. Feed them, take them potty, and depending on time take them for a morning walk. Directly after work, I would go home to see my cat Benny, and then go visit your house. I’ll make sure that your pup is fed, goes on a walk, or has a great amount of playtime and snuggles! Before taking them outside at your house, I would make sure that your dog is either on a leash, the yard fence is closed, or their recall is good with me. Most importantly, I want to make sure that in a new situation and with someone new in their home, they somehow do not get loose.
“Elizabeth was so great and accommodating!! Prompt communication and did a fabulous job with my cat. She provided a peace of mind while I was away.”
“Jackie is awesome! She did an amazing job taking care of our girl while we were away and then some! She is friendly, communicative, flexible and considerate. We would love to have her back again and happily recommend her to others!”
“Leah did a great job checking in on my cats while we were away. She was communicative, super nice, and followed through with what we asked. She sent lots of pictures of our cats when she checked in on them. When we got home, nothing was out of place and our cats had a clean litter box plus plenty of food and water. I definitely plan on booking Leah again in the future.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Deforest
This was my (and my girls’!) first time using the Rover app and Heather was outstanding! She was flexible and was able to accommodate my crazy schedule with time to meet my girls and see if their personalities were a good match. (Side note: they totally were.) I loved the details and the report card she left for me about the goings on of their adventures together. Thank you, Heather, for making my girls’ first experience amazing! 🩷

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of June 2026, there are 1,449 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Deforest. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Deforest stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Deforest 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!
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Deforest with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Deforest. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 94% can help with daily exercise
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.
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.
