“She is so great very laid back and easygoing. Our dogs love her especially our little guy. No worries when she is here. She is always available and dependable we always come home to a happy house and everything is just how we left it.”

About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all different personalities, temperaments, and energy levels. I especially enjoy working with high-energy dogs who need plenty of exercise, stimulation, and engagement, as well as dogs who experience anxiety and benefit from a little extra patience, reassurance, and understanding. I believe every dog has their own unique needs, and I take pride in getting to know each one so I can provide the best possible care. Safety is also something I take very seriously, especially when it comes to walks. I’m attentive to canine body language, situational awareness, and recognizing potentially uncomfortable or unsafe situations before they happen. As a small-dog owner myself, I understand firsthand the concerns that come with encountering unfamiliar dogs, particularly when other owners may not have proper control of their pets. I always prioritize being proactive, aware of my surroundings, and making responsible decisions to keep the dogs in my care safe. Above all, I want every dog to feel comfortable, loved, and right at home while they’re with me! Pet care is already a big part of my everyday life! I have two dogs of my own, so I’m very familiar with the daily responsibilities that come with keeping dogs happy, healthy, and well cared for. From daily walks and exercise to playtime, feeding, and providing plenty of attention, caring for my dogs is something I genuinely enjoy. Having dogs of my own has taught me how important it is to maintain routines, recognize individual needs, and make sure every dog feels loved, comfortable, and safe. I am prepared making sure I have clear instructions, pet profile, and house rules. As well as maintaining privacy, sharing updates, and a brief stay summary with notable observations if preferred!
About: I have two dogs of my own, they are labs. Max is the oldest at 9yrs and Luca is the youngest at 5yrs old. He still acts like a puppy. I take care of the dogs whenever my parents are out of town. And love doing it I’m available on weekends and week days, I am able to house sit if need. I am not available on holidays. Monday - Friday Saturday- Sunday If you want to run a background check feel free to do so. I have references if needed as well. I promise to be on time and ready for any task given.
About: I have a lot of experience with animals, especially cats and dogs. Growing up I had multiple rescue dogs and a cat. In addition to my own pets I regularly take care of my neighbors’ dogs. In the past I worked for Cherokee Kennels and volunteered for Shelter from the Storm and the Dane County Humane Society. I am currently working part time and would love to care for your pups and kitties in my free time. I am looking for jobs primarily in the evenings and weekends. I care very deeply for the health and wellness of all animals. In addition to feeding my own dog her diet specific food and treats and walking her we love to play and cuddle. This is the kind of care I have with others’ pets too.
“Amanda was terrific. She provided great communication during her stay and I really appreciated the daily photos and reports. She was great with my dogs. She is very warm and friendly and I enjoyed the interaction.”
“Azaria took great care of our pups while we were out of town! She was great at communicating and sending updates/ photos and the house was in great condition when we got home. Thank you again!!”
“Brooke was a life saver. I had a long trip to California and she took care of my friend Louka while I was away. She sent me pictures to put my mind at ease, and gave Louka walks and cuddles. Great job Brooke! Highly recommend.”
About: I am a loving, compassionate, and reliable person that has a love for animals. I am also athletic and can take your puppy companion for a jog! I have unlimited availability for pet care.

About: Hi! We're Ben and Jen, a dedicated pet-sitting duo with a lifelong love of animals and years of hands-on experience caring for them. While we've been house and pet sitting full-time for over a year, our experience with animals runs much deeper. Much of our time is spent caring for the homes and beloved pets of our wonderful recurring clients, but every now and then, we enjoy a change of pace and the opportunity to meet new furry friends! Along the way, we've built lasting friendships with pet owners and consistently earned 5-star reviews from happy clients. Unlike occasional sitters, this is our everyday life! We're comfortable with different breeds, personalities, routines, and household needs. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, companionship, or simply having someone nearby, we adapt to what makes them happiest. We especially enjoy longer stays because they give us time to really get to know each pet and help them feel comfortable and secure while their family is away. We travel with our two well-trained service dogs, Toto and Little Guy, who are accustomed to life on the road and meeting new friends. We always discuss introductions and compatibility beforehand. We treat every home with respect and every pet with the same love and attention we'd want for our own. We'd love to meet you and your furry family members! Currently a full time law student online and am flexible with my time and availability. As we have cared for a wide variety of animals we are flexible in creating a daily plan that fits your needs We have full discussion with every pet family what their expectations are, the pets habits and daily routine and any other concerns that should be addressed. Every family is different and so is every pet!
“I can't recommend Kate enough! My doggo (Kooper) has some separation anxiety. When I reached out to Kate we discussed what her home would be like for a dog. I was a little nervous, because typically we ask sitters to come and stay at our house but decided that we would do a meet a greet to see how that went. Kate, Cody, Gus (dog), and Poe (cat) made our dog and us so comfortable. Gus and Kooper got along great and even though Koop has never been around cats, him and Poe were fast friends! Kate has a great yard for playing and her schedules allows for lots of 1:1 time with the pets. Kate was flexible, provided consistent updates, and was extremely responsive with her communications. Everything went wonderfully! Kooper was sent home happy, safe, and with a positive report card and goodies. I will definitely be connecting with Kate again about future visits!”
About: I’ve had dogs ever since I was born and I know how to properly care for them! I am experienced in feeding, walking, and playing with dogs! I currently work part time Monday through Friday so I have plenty of free time to take care of and play with pets! I am great with all animals! I currently have a cat and a German Shorthair Pointer pup who is about 8 months old! I take my dog to the dog park daily and he loves running around and getting all his energy out!
“Sam took excellent care of my dogs and home. I was happy to get pics and updates, as well as to come home to a clean house. He even washed the bedsheets ? I recommend Sam for both house and pet sitting!”
“Highly recommend Diana. Our Daisy loved her immediately at our initial meet and greet. She kept us informed of how Daisy was doing while we were away. Very in tune with the needs of our girl.”
“Kirstin watched our dog on short notice after another sitter had to cancel. She was so great! Our dog was recovering from being sick and Kirstin kept us updated and our dog taken care of. Piper enjoyed herself all weekend and Kirstin took great care of the house as well. We won’t hesitate to have Kirstin sit for us again in the future!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Edgerton is $33 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $83 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.

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 Edgerton 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 Edgerton 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 Edgerton 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.

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.
