“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.”
“Janet was so good with our quirky dogs--a big bouncy Olde English Bulldogge and a little bouncy Boston Terrier. They were happy, relaxed and healthy when we came home and were probably secretly hoping it was her at the door. :-D We will definitely rebook in the future!”
“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!”
“Emma was fantastic with our 2 crazy energetic corgis! She was very communicative, friendly, and great with updates. Both of our pups are worn out after picking them up, and it makes our drive home 100x easier. Would definitely recommend. Thank you again Emma!”
“I was so nervous hiring a dog sitter but our usual family sitters were unavailable for our vacation. Adrian assured me that the dogs would be okay and gave our pups the time and space they needed to feel comfortable with a new sitter. She texted me updates frequently while we were away. It was so nice not having to worry about our animals while we were on our family vacation. She did an excellent job with our senior dog with special needs and a nervous Aussie. The icing on the cake was coming home to a clean house after a long day of travel back home. We will definitely book Adrian again if we need a sitter!”
“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 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!!!”
“Wonderful as usual! Kept me up to date with how they were doing and provided pictures throughout the duration of the stay. One of our dogs ended up getting sick a few times, Allison handled the situation very well by updating us immediately and even cleaned the messes up for us! Very appreciative of her help!”
About: I have taken care of dogs for my friends for many years, as well as having dogs for most of my life. I have experience with dogs of all ages. I have experience in medication dispensing. Senior care experience. I work from my home so I am available to give meals and potty breaks continuously throughout the day. I have a very flexible schedule. For drop in visiting and walks, I am available Monday to Thursday 1pm to 7pm. Friday after 5pm. Saturday and Sunday 24 hour availability. My back yard is fenced in.I will not sit pitbulls or other aggressive breeds. On days where the temp is hot, I will take dogs out once an hour for just 10 minutes to avoid heat related illness. Also on hot days, water bowls will be in each room that a dog chooses to be in. During the winter I have pee pads outside for the comfort and safety of a dog's feet.
“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.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Eau Claire is $40

Korah was a wonderful dog sitter- being a great substitute while Abby’s people were gone. We came home to a very relaxed dog, for which we were grateful for. Korah communicated well and was someone you can feel comfortable with in your home. I’d recommend her highly.
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
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.

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.
