About: I grew up having dogs around and they are my favorite animal! My family has been fortunate to adopt 3 dogs, so far, in my life: a Black Lab-Dachshund, a Bassett Hound, and an Australian Cattle Dog; all very different dogs! I also have the experience of watching family & friends animals over the years! Having been around so many different types of dogs has taught me how many different behaviors and reactions they have depending on the environment or people it is/has been surrounded by. At the end of last year I got married and moved to Fond du Lac and have been looking at some part time work. I am very flexible with scheduling right now! I will ensure your pets comfort, safety, and well-being by learning their daily schedules and rules by their owners. I understand that comfort, safety, and trust comes in three parts, the owner, the pet, and myself; and will respect all parties.
About: Hi! My name is Ryaan, and I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my entire life. Animals have always been a huge part of my family, so caring for them comes naturally to me. I also worked for several years at a doggy daycare and boarding facility, where I gained hands-on experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, administering basic care, supervising playtime, and making sure pets feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. Your pet will be treated like family in my care! 🐾 I currently have just a few 1 hour classes a week on just Mondays and Wednesdays and am home for the most part otherwise making me available for your pets. -fenced in yard -home frequently -able to provide long walks and lots of playtime -safe home (mostly pet proofed) -stairs are needed to be taken to get up to the house and down to the backyard
“Abby was AMAZING Not only was she able to step in last minute as our other sitter bailed, she loved our dogs as much as we do! She sent many pictures and updates! Took them on nice long walks and gave them all the love and attention. I was so happy I didn’t have to worry at all about my dogs while I was away! She also cleaned our home and kept it neat and tidy! We will for sure be using Abby in the future!”
“Rachel was amazing. Great communication throughout the whole process. We hesitate leaving our sweet, old boy alone but had no qualms after meeting Rachel. Would recommend her to anyone!”
About: I grew up around dogs and now own two of my own and understand how to take care of them in a way that fun and gives the parents peace at mind when they are with me. I currently work full time for Aurora health care Friday - Sunday 6am-6pm. I love doing drop ins during the week and can also house sit during the weekends as long as it’s okay for pets to be left alone for 12 hours. I have a fenced in yard and also have a crate if needed. I also don't give treats unless approved before hand and will provide close care and watch over them while im watching them.
About: I am a stay at home mom to four human children and one four pawed pup! Our pet is another member of our family and I will treat your pet the same! My husband and I both grew up with dogs and we have had our rescue Rio for over 7 years. We have taken obedience classes with Rio and frequented the FIDO dog park in our town when he was a puppy. We also live near a walking/biking trail that welcomes dogs. Our yard is large and fenced in with lots of dog and kid toys to play with. We also allow dogs through out our house and are comfortable with them sharing our space while respecting that sometimes dogs need their own space as well. Your pup will have lots of attention in our home and be treated as one of our own for his or her stay with us. I have lots of experience with walking a variety of dogs. I am comfortable and have experience walking more than one dog at a time, and walking dogs of all sizes. I come prepared with extra poop bags, leashes, and water for your pet. I am willing to work with you on any specific commands you use while walking your dog because I believe consistency is key. Your dog's safety on our walks is my top priority closely followed by getting them some exercise and potty breaks! I have been on the Rover platform since 2018 providing boarding, daycare, drop in and walking services. Between dog walks, drop offs and pick ups, I am home the majority of the day as a stay at home parent. I have been doing, boarding, daycare, walks, and drop ins with Rover since 2018 and myself and my family enjoy it immensely! We have a large fenced in yard with lots of room to run, sniff and explore. Our yard has two gates with one main gate used frequently. The entrance that your pet will use to go in and out of the house is within the fenced area. Inside we have numerous gates to section off areas as needed. We have room and experience with crating if you would like to bring a crate for your pet. When I am caring for your pet in your home I will work with you to find the best and safest way for me to enter and exit your home. I have worked with and welcome families with cameras in or around their homes as well. I act no differently when I am with your pet than when I meet you and your pet at the meet and greet.
“She was absolutely incredible with our fur babies. Nya our Rottweiler was so good for her and she responded fast when I asked how things were going. I would definitely be booking with Katie again… thank you so much.”
“Emalia was so communicative the whole time. She consistently checked in and sent photos so I was never worried about him. She seems to care so much and I’m so grateful she was able to take such great care of my pup!”
About: I grew up from childhood in a family with dogs around all the time. I’ve had my boy Jordy for 5 years now. He’s husky just like I had in my teenage years. Training him went super well and it’s been one of the best experiences of my adult life having him around. He gets along great with most all other dogs and loves kids. I absolutely adore animals and I've been a nanny for several families over the past 10+ years, where I've cared for pets as well as children whether just on a normal daily basis or while the families were out of town. I'm currently a freelance photographer and I generally work from home most of the time which offers me a good bit of flexibility and free time to take on some odd jobs like pet-sitting and or childcare. I have a fenced in yard and a high energy friendly husky to play with. I also drive a 4runner that'd be easy to load up and take a couple pups to the parks nearby and/or it’s a great neighborhood to go for a long walk/run.
About: I have had our dog Bosco for four years and he is the best boy ever. I have also watched foster dogs for my friend who manages a shelter in neenah and I have watched other friends dogs in the past. I get done in the afternoon so I can walk dogs in the afternoon and check on cats in the afternoon. I’m also free on weekends and I have off every government holiday. Unfortunately taking pets into my apartment is not ideal for our household, with that being said, I have absolutely no issues going to your home either to let the dogs out for play time and walks or even over night. Same with cats, going to your home is better suited for me!
“Zhy was an amazing dog sitter! She was caring, reliable, and kept me updated the whole time. My dog was happy, comfortable, and clearly well taken care of. I really appreciated her attention to detail and how much love she showed my pet. I would definitely recommend Zhy to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter!”
“Bryanna took extra care with Jackson. We had lost his buddy on June 1 and this was the first time I had left him for more than a few hours. Jackson was happy and well cared for. I’m so happy with the care Bryanna provides.”
“Sarah is the exact person you are looking for to care for your pet while you’re away. They are enthusiastic and ask important questions. They also send updates and photos while you’re away. We will use Sarah to watch our dog whenever we are away and they have availability.”
About: My family has had a dog since I was younger and I currently have a mini goldendoodle. I understand how keeping dogs happy and cared for is vital to ‘owners.’ I have a very flexible and open schedule! I like to take my own dog for longer walks to get energy out and relax our minds together. I love playing with them so they’re not just sitting around unhappy. It’s important to me to make sure all of their needs are met as I believe this affects longevity and overall well-being.
About: I have had a dog for 12 years and do dog sitting on occasion. I love dogs and will take care of your dog as if it were my own! We can go for walks, runs, or just take a nap depending on what your dog enjoys. My goal is for both you and your furry friend to be happy. No dog is too big, no dog is too small as long as their tail is wagging I can dogsit them all! I love all dogs and would love to take care of your pet! I can assure they’ll have a great time and come back with wagging tails and happy smiles (maybe some drool too). Pick me to watch your dog and everyone will be happy! (: I’m currently working part-time, so I’ll have plenty of time to take care of your pups! Always ready to go for a walk whenever needed! I have two dogs at home so I know just how badly one occasionally needs a walk! Both of my dogs are relatively large so no matter the size I’m ready to accompany your pup on a walk!
“Lisa was exactly who we were hoping for as a sitter for Buddy. It was our and his first time overnight and she made it very comfortable for all of us. We received some fun photos of Buddy as well. Lisa gave us a full report when we got home. The best news was seeing Buddy going to the door after Lisa left and he was asking us when is she coming back! Highly recommended!”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats since I was young. I’ve walked, fed, bathed, helped train, and overall cared for animals. I have had experience with kittens/puppies and senior animals! I have watched family and friends dogs! I work part-time and my schedule is often different, but I am always free after 7 pm weekdays and 6 pm weekends. I am open to other times as well as long as I don’t work! I do not offer animals in my home due to having my own cats. Only dog and cat sitting at the clients house! Thank you

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Fond du Lac
This was the first time we had a pet sitter for our dog that is deaf and anxious without his people. In addition we have another dog and two cats. Carissa frequently communicated with us and texted pictures to assure us that all was well. The pets were clearly relaxed and content when we arrived home. We would highly recommend her.

FAQs for House Sitting - Fond du Lac
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Fond du Lac on Rover is $55.5 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 314 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Fond du Lac. 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 Fond du Lac 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 Fond du Lac 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 Fond du Lac 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 Fond du Lac. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
