“I reached out to Samantha very last minute and she was extremely accommodating to my request. She gave me a piece of mind while I was gone on a work trip for 3 days. She sent me pictures and made sure she was treating my girl Reba with care. Lots of walks and making sure her food was prepared the way she’s used to. Thank you Samantha!”
“Allison did a wonderful job watching our fur babies. We have a 12 year old goldendoodle who requires medication 4 times a day. She did a great job keeping our doodle on track. We received pictures each day. When we arrived home our house was just the way we left it. Highly recommend Allison.”
“Hayley did a great job with our girls. I can always tell when they are well cared for because when we come home they barely notice we are gone. And they let us know if they are not! :) Hayley kept me well informed and sent pictures. Definitely recommend!”
“We really liked Jenn from the start. Her communication is impeccable and she has a wonderful attitude around our dogs...confident and sweet. We look forward to her watching out dogs on a couple upcoming long weekends!”
About: Hello! My name is Ashley, I am fun, outgoing, and very talkative! I have had animals all my life and I would love to take care of yours. I have taken care of my two black labs at home for the past 20 years and was always willing to pet sit for family friends when needed. I now have a cat of my own, Erma, and she is the best! I make sure to follow all directions given and will ensure you that I will take great care of your animal. I am very active and will make sure your pet needs a good nap after I hang out with them! I am a teacher in the area, so I have lots of availability during the summertime and throughout the day! I can stop by anytime, just let me know. Personally, I have always grown up with animals in my house, so I know how to properly provide and take care of an animal. I will feed, walk, and play with all animals and will give them attention to make them happy (:

I am available in Rock County and Dane County.

“Ian was an absolute life saver! After another person backed out less than 48 hours before my husband and I were scheduled to leave town for several days, Ian answered my last minute request, and saved the day! He came to meet us and our dog the same evening as the request, and immediately established a rapport with our dog. While we were gone, he kept us updated on how things were going, and was very responsive to requests. I would love to have Ian stay with our dog again, and would highly recommend him to anyone!”
“Megan was wonderful! She spent a lot of time with our girls and showered them with affection. We received many photos and videos of them playing and relaxing outside, which ensured us they were doing fine. She even vacuumed and picked up before she left. Would definitely schedule with her again and highly recommend her.”
“Danielle was wonderful with my pups! Along with TLC, she was able to handle their challenges and keep them happy and healthy. I loved the pics she sent and immediately responded to any check-ins or just my missing them and needed to see a picture right now!”
“Phillip did a great job watching my doggo. He sent photos and updates which helped ease the separation. One photo was so funny I am printing it for my office desk. He left the house exactly as it was and I absolutely would rebook for our next trip.”
“Zackary was so awesome! We was super communicative and seemed to spend a lot of time at home with our two kitties boys. He asked questions when needed, checked in often and sent cute pictures! Our kitties were definitely happy when we got home and he was respectful of our space. Thank you so much Zack, the boys will be happy to see you in the future 😊”
About: Agnes Mable, my dachshund of 12 years taught me patience better than anyone. I love spending time cuddling, giving belly rubs, sniffling frito feet, & running around the yard chasing them like a screaming banshee. I stay at friends & neighbors houses frequently when they're away to watch their dogs, cats, & fish. I also have friends & neighbors dogs over for weeks at a time. I've been doing this the since moving back to Wisconsin in April 2024. I love taking care of pets like their my own. Once I have a fenced in yard, I will welcome another dachshund into my life, but until then I fill my cup with caring for other's doggos & kitty cats. I'm excited to meet you! Extra treats for pugs & extra belly rubs for the heavy weights that can fetch & return! I work from home & the days I'm traveling for work will be unavailable to book. We'll spend all day together! I've got a spacious yard, large back deck that gets direct sun light for the one's that like to bake, & if they get along with other dogs, sometimes I walk over to my sisters with them to meet my favorite pug, Potato! I live in a duplex on the bottom floor so it's easy in & out, no stairs. My yard is massive with lots of plants & trees to sniff around. I'll always take my fur friends outside on a leash. I do have a small crate available for dogs under 15 pounds, toys, treats, & extra leashes just in case you forget something. Most importantly, I have a big lamby & a small lamby.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Fort Atkinson on Rover is $61.05 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 976 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Fort Atkinson. 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 Fort Atkinson 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 Fort Atkinson 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 Fort Atkinson 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.
