“Allison is fantastic! She had issues with our garage door (our fault-not gets!) and she problem solved and told us right away her plan of action. Allison is trustworthy, punctual and professional!”
“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! 🩷”
“Taryn was kind and very patient with my older, unsure little dog. Everyday Taryn took her time to get to know him. She was friendly and gentle allowing him to get used to her visits.”
“Toni went above and beyond! Not only did she take superior care of our little cavapoo, Bailey, she brought our garbage cans in from the curb and offered to check in on Bailey one more time if we were running late. Excellent care and service!!”
About: I'm currently in a pet-free home with my kiddos and have lived with dogs for much of my adult life. I'm a massage therapist and love giving pups a little TLC with energy therapy and light massage. They love it! The dog you see in my thumbnail photo is KC. She was a rescue dog who was with us for six years and needed lots of training, support and care. Please note I take 3 walking clients per day but only 1 boarder at a time. I teach at a technical college and am a personal trainer, working part-time from home and part-time out of the home. I'm often home for long hours during the day. My three kids are in public school, so dogs may have 1 to 4 dog-lovers in the home after 4pm. I offer long walks on sidewalks or trails if preferred, treats, water, lots of play and unlimited petting! I offer care in my home and dog walking. Pets are allowed on my furniture if that's what they're used to. Looking forward to meeting your pup!
About: I have had experience watching dogs since I was 12. My neighbors often have me walk their dogs when they are unable, and about a year ago I started watching my family and friend’s dogs when they are out of town. I currently work part-time and I don’t have school during the summer so I am free most week days. I am also available on various weekends depending on my other job’s schedule. I create a safe environment in client’s homes by ensuring the dog has nothing dangerous within reach. Keeping a clean and safe space helps the both the dog and owner feel more at ease.
About: I’ve grown with big dogs my whole life and I have my fair share of personal experience with smaller ones as well. Additionally, I worked at Paradise Paws (doggy daycare) as a dog handler for about a year. I am very familiar with all the different breeds and personality types, even puppies! I have a very flexible schedule. I do online school and don’t have another job, so I have lots of opportunity during the day to hang out with your dogs! I will care for your dogs depending on your environment and the rules you have set for me. I will respect your environment and that of the dog, while ensuring they receive lots of fun and attention!
About: I grew up on a farm and around animals my whole life. I’ve dog sat for many friends and family members of mine and would love to be able to look after yours. I work in the mornings and I am home by noon most days and am around all weekend to look after any pets. I go for long walks most days. I have a large, in fenced backyard and I am close to the park and walking trails. I also love to go hiking and would like to able to take dogs with too.
About: Lifelong (35 years) dog lover and owner of a golden retriever. I begged my parents growing up to get our family a dog...luckily after all of my persistence, my mom and dad finally gave in. My family got two dogs within a few weeks of one another, a Chocolate Lab and a Brittany. Both had a lot of energy and were very loving. Of course, the dogs came with the responsibilities which I happily took on. I loved taking them for walks, meal time, playing fetch in the yard, and even the poop scoopin' duties. Currently, I work from home and get to spend all day with my golden retriever Stark. I want to help the other working dog moms and dads in my community who don't have the luxury of being home with their dog every day. If you want help to take your dog out to go potty, go for a walk, snuggle, just visit, or play, then I'm the one for you!! I work from home and can be available as needed as long as it's not during a scheduled conference call - gotta keep my day job. I'm pretty flexible but also don't mind a routine schedule if that would benefit you. If any dog steps it's paws in to my home or yard, I'll treat them like a part of my own family. Just seeing a dog puts a smile on my face. I have a large home with wood floors. There's also a large nearby fenced-in dog park a few miles from my house where I take my golden retriever to really run off the zoomies. I love my dog and I'm obsessed with him. Every photo on my phone is of my dog, my kids, or food, the three loves of my life...oh and my husband, he's got a few photos in there too.
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.
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!
“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.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Deforest
Awnna took great care of our cats! She administered meds to one of our cats that required 2 visits per day. She fed and played with them and made sure water bowls were filled and litter boxes scooped. Awnna did a wonderful job and we would definitely have her take care of our kitties again!
We've used Karen twice to check in twice a day on our two cats, and she has been wonderful both times. Very professional, very good with the boys (one who wants all the attention and one who wants none ever). Kept us updated and well informed, we will absolutely be using her again. This last time was a pretty last minute booking and she was able to work with us.

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Deforest on Rover is $11.1 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 1,503 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.
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 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.

- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
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.
