“Simply put, Tina was awesome. This is only the second time that we have left our two dogs with a sitter and Tina was terrific with them. The dogs can be high energy, especially when they first meet a new person, and Tina knew exactly how to handle the boys. She had them calm within a few minutes of meeting them and with the pictures that she sent us it was obvious that the felt very comfortable around her. Tina had the house looking great when we arrived back and even watered the lawn plants for us while we were on vacation! She was great about communicating how things were going with texts and pictures...it really put our minds at ease. We would absolutely recommend Tina and will certainly book Tina again for our next vacation!”
About: We have had cats and dogs in our family my entire life. I was born and raised caring for our animals as family members. We have always had multiple cats and dogs, as well as assorted other critters. A few years ago, I lived in Madison working at a Doggy Daycare. There we had lots of training in dog body language and behaviors. I spent each day looking after a pack of at least 20 dogs. That job helped me gain lots of experience working with all kinds of different dogs, behaviors and personalities! The doggy daycare also implemented behavioral training. Each day we would work with the dogs and puppies to make sure we were working on positive behaviors with positive reinforcements! I am currently available to help be there for your furbabies and their needs! I would love to be the one to help them feel comfortable while you're away! I live in a spacious, pet friendly duplex. The current tenants include: my husband and myself, our two cats, Mister and Nilla, and my leopard gecko, Echo! I have access to plenty of areas to run and play, as well as a place to get plenty of cuddles! The care I give your pets will match what they need. I know that your fur babies are special and important to you and I intend to treat them as if they were my own. My place or yours, your furry friend will feel at home!
“Victoria house sat for my 2 chihuahua's for 5 days, she kept me updated with pictures and videos while I was gone and my house was just as clean when I came back as I left it. Will definitely call her again for sitting!”
“Laura was a fantastic house sitter! She was friendly, communicative, and responsible. I would 100% book with her again, and recommend her to anyone else looking for pet care services.”
About: I’ve taken care of a wide range of pets. From cats, dogs, birds, rodents and farm animals. I am also able to take care of animals with higher needs. I’ve had elderly pets who need medication and animals that I have found with injuries that I took care of. I am available all week and I occasionally visit my parents on the weekend. Other than that I do not leave town often, if I do ever have a trip planned I would update my schedule. I know how important routines are so sticking to what is requested is essential. Animals that need to be kept separate is also an important thing to know.
“Celeste was absolutely amazing with our fur baby Teddy. He required medication twice a day, and she was able to provide him with that. She sent me pictures and let me know what was going on and it meant the world to me. I would absolutely recommend her if you want to have a very responsible, sweet and caring young lady to take care of your fur babies!!”
About: I have always taken care of many different types of pets in my home. I have helped with senior dogs who need medicine or insulin shots. I have also fostered and have experience with all types of animals, such as; a full litter of kittens, bunnies, and dogs of all sizes. I work until 4pm every day and have random weekdays off and I always have Sundays off. I am very flexible and can adapt to your schedules needs. I have a fenced in backyard and have lots of friendly animals. They also all have their own specific areas if they need to be quarantined for any reason. I can also read animals body languages for when they may need some space or more direct attention.
About: Caring for pets has been a big part of my life for as long as I can remember. Animals have always held a special place in my heart. From playful puppies to senior dogs, I make sure they feel at home. I’m currently learning more about grooming, but I’m already confident in nail trimming and bathing. If that’s something you’d like done during your furry friends stay, just let me know! I have weekend availability and some weekday availability where I could be home all day with your furry friend. I can accommodate to a schedule that fits your Pets needs I have room in my home to accommodate a crate if your dog needs one otherwise my house is childproof and dog proof, so you never have to worry about your furry friend getting into something they shouldn’t.
About: I'm just starting, but I love both cats and dogs! I just got a kitten so I know how much energy they have just as I've lived with my parents who were dog people and I know how much they love to play! I have a pet, so I know that the first ting you need to do is form a proper bond, such as food or playtime. I always make sure that pet's stay away from doors when answering, just in case they try to escape. When walking dogs, I always make sure that they never leave my side. With cats, I always make room for playtime to gain their trust.
“Morgan took impeccable care of our two dogs and our home while we were away overnight. Our one dog is usually a bit hesitant to warm up to folks, but he took right to Morgan! She kept us updated with photos and was highly communicative. We will definitely have Morgan sit for us again!”
About: I’ve had pets my whole life, I’ve worked with seniors and puppies and everything in between! I’ve also worked at a doggy daycare and have done lots of grooming for both cats and dogs! I am available night and day! I am easy to reach and am ready to come at any time! I am a stay at home cat mom! I have 2 cats of my own, I give them the best nutrition and brain stimulation! I am constantly researching the best for both cats and dogs!
About: I love to babysitting dogs because they always make me smile, have fun and love to play with them. I am a dog lover I always make sure dogs eat healthy, make sure they are happy and make sure they go out. I do have my own dog and I always make sure everything okay and what she need. I will always make sure I treat the dog like my own. I will always make sure they have the best care I can provide like I do with my own dog. I enjoy seeing that happy mood once the dog is walked, fed and played. I know when I am with animals, I feel relaxed instead of being stressed out because I feel that they believe in me.

Taryn house sat for five days while I was on an island with no cell service. She handled everything well, administered his medications, and managed his separation anxiety. And, the house was left in great order. I would definitely use her as a house sitter again.
Grace is excellent! Very responsive and prompt. She quickly set up a meet and greet to meet my dog. She immediately greeted him and gave him attention, followed up by questions about his eating, sleeping and walking schedule. While I was away, she sent me updates and photos. I was very impressed by her attention to detail and left with everything in order.
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
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Eau Claire is $40 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $60 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 127 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 , 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 .
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 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
