“Janet was beyond amazing! She was very understanding and we were very comfortable leaving our babies with her. Our old timer recently got sick and was prescribed a cocktail of medication 4 days before our reservation. Janet was still very excited to spend time with her and make sure she is relaxed and not lonely. Knowing our little Killer was in caring and trusting hands put us at ease leaving her. Janet communicated with us each day and sent pictures of our fur babies. Because Janet was so pawsome, we were able to enjoy our vacation without worrying! We DEFINITELY plan to reserve Janet in the future! THANK YOU JANET!!”
“Kessia is great! She is very prompt to respond and updated us with pictures. Clearly our animals loved her as they were always right next to if not sitting on her! Had her do a one night stay and will have her back when we go on vacation!”
“Korah was fantastic with our dog, RuPaw! She was able to meet a last minute request expertly. She was sweet and patient with our dog and made sure she felt comfortable in a new surrounding without her owners. Would 100% Korah for dog sitting, walks, etc!”
“I had Emma housesit for me to take care of my dog and cat and she was awesome! Communication was great, she played with my dog, took her the dog park, and sent lots of pictures. My dog clearly loved her and was sad to see her go :) I needed someone again over Thanksgiving, but unfortunately she was already booked. Will definitely hire again!”
“Taryn did a great job watching Ari who has separation anxiety and can’t be left alone. The event I was at ran past the expected time and she stayed with him past when I was supposed to get back which helped immensely. Ari enjoyed her company and kept calm while I was out.”
“Brogan stayed in our home and took great care of our 1-year-old chocolate lab, Danny. She did an excellent job communicating throughout the stay and made us feel very comfortable leaving him in her care. She came by ahead of time for a meet and greet, which we really appreciated, and she sent daily photos and updates while we were away. It was clear Danny was well cared for and getting plenty of walks and attention. We’d definitely recommend Brogan to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful pet sitter!”
“Laura was able to come over last minute to take care of our dog who just had emergency surgery. He was on several medications and even had a JP drain and abdominal wrap. She did a great job with him, making sure he was comfortable all day and cared for him very well! Not to mention she put my mind at ease by sending me updates and photos. Will be using her again in the near future!!!”
“Great communication! She even took our dogs for a walk! Which was not asked or expected! Very nice and I would definitely recommend if you need a great dog sitter. Will definitely book again in the future when needed! :)”
“Desiree has been the biggest delight to work with. Her communication is impeccable. Any questions I have asked she has responded immediately answering all questions and then some. We could enjoy our time away with family knowing our babies were in good hands. She kept me updated as to how they were throughout. We were so pleased that we have already booked our next visit.”
“Very friendly and super responsive. Sends an update at with pictures at the end of the day about how well the dogs did. Let me know right away if ran into any issues or questions. I would definitely rebook with her again! 😊”

Emily is absolutely amazing. She has been walking, doing drop in visits (sometimes last min) and house sitting for a while now. She is so prompt and communicative. I get tons of pics and text filling me in on what I’m missing out on :) I’m really glad my dog has such a great friend and sitter. Thank you, Emily. You are, simply, THE BEST!
Taryn did a great job watching Ari who has separation anxiety and can’t be left alone. The event I was at ran past the expected time and she stayed with him past when I was supposed to get back which helped immensely. Ari enjoyed her company and kept calm while I was out.
Celeste was great!!! She came over before the date needed to get the dogs familiar with her and to get instructions so we didn't need to worry about that when we were leaving for our trip. She sent us pictures of our beloved Phoebe and Rudy putting us at ease that everything was going great so we could enjoy our trip without worry! When we got back to the house it was neat and clean and our dogs were happy! We highly recommend Rover and especially Celeste to take care of your pets/house when needed, you won't be disappointed! Very thankful, Scott & Geri
Kacy did a phenomenal job caring for my two dogs while my son and I were out of town. She was extremely polite, respectful, and bonded with my dogs immediately. I highly recommend Kacy to anyone looking for a sitter that is dependable, will prioritize your dogs, and give them all the love they deserve. A job well done and I look forward to booking Kacy again. Thank you, Jason
Sanora was fantastic! She housesat for my dog and two cats for a long weekend. During the stay she was communicative and let me know how things were going. She also handled a very last minute change in feeding instructions with ease. When I got home, everyone was happy and healthy and the house was in perfect condition :) I would absolutely rebook with Sanora!
Cara is incredible. This was the first time I've ever left my puppy and I was nervous, but Cara made it so easy. She is a natural with dogs, caring and sweet. She not only provides walks and basic care, she went above and beyond. She did art with him, she did puzzles with him, she spent so much time making him feel safe and loved. I could not recommend her higher. She is the best choice.
Raegan was wonderful! She arrived on time, was attentive to our pup, and made sure Romeo felt comfortable while we were away. He was relaxed and happy when we returned, which says a lot. We would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to others.
We would highly recommend Melissa for your dog sitting needs! She was communicative, took great care of our (needy) dogs, and left our house looking great. We really enjoyed the pictures and videos she sent while we were away. It made our travels much more relaxing seeing our pups well cared for. We will definitely look to book with her again in the future.

FAQs for House Sitting - Eau Claire
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Eau Claire on Rover is $40 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 129 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Eau Claire. 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 Eau Claire 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 Eau Claire 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 Eau Claire 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Eau Claire. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 90% 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.
