Sam was AMAZING! She took such good care of my pups while I was out of town. She sent pictures and I could tell they loved having her there. She updated me on anything I needed to know and replied to my texts right away. Thanks for everything Sam!!

Hailey was awesome with our pups! We have a senior cavalier and a 2 year old lab mix. Hailey was timely and kept us updated with pictures of the fur babies. Very responsive and responsible - would definitely recommend her!

Mallory showed up when we needed her the most. We had to leave the next day for a funeral and our usual gal was unavailable. Mallory was responsive and flexible and we are not sure what we would have done without her!!

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: I have 15+ years of professional pet care experience through shelter, boarding, dog daycare and rescue experience. I previously managed a large scale, highly awarded facility in Madison. I can offer a vast amount of knowledge to make sure your pet not only has a great time while you are away but also is safe and well card for. I offer walks and drop in visits any day of the week. Walks can be in your own neighborhood, at a nearby trail location of your choosing or off leash at my rural home in our 1.75 acre fenced in yard. (Additional travel fees may apply for locations other than your home.) Your pup will come home tired from not only physical exercise but also from mental stimulation as I will encourage them to use their sniffer and their brain with basic obedience. I also offer a limited amount of In-Home Pet Sitting services in customer homes only. I am not able to sleepover in customer homes due to having pets/children of my own but can offer house sitting on a drop in basis and make multiple, extended visits to your home daily at your preferred times. I look forward to meeting your and your pet! I work a part time job that is only in person on Mondays. Every other day of the week my schedule is very flexible for walks, drop ins or pet sitting services. At our meet and greet we will discuss safety protocols for getting your pet inside and outside safety as well as ensure they have a collar/harness setup that is secure for walks.

Danielle did an excellent job from start to finish. Because I found out late that our private sitter had to cancel, getting a replacement on such short notice was kind of stressful. Danielle had openings on the needed dates, and she quickly replied to my request. We set up a meet and greet, she came to our house, and the stress was gone. She immediately engaged with both dogs. They clearly liked her. My husband and I went up north, so cell service can be on and off. Danielle sent regular updates which I would see as soon as we were in range. I greatly appreciate that she left the house as neat as it was when we left; actually even neater. I would highly recommend Danielle. Thank you, Danielle for taking such good care of both dogs.

About: I have had and cared for dogs my entire life. I often dog-sit for friends and family, and I have had 6 foster dogs in the past! I’m familiar with taking care of old dogs and those that need medications as well. I recently finished graduate school and am applying for full-time positions. That being said, I am home a majority of the time to give your dog plenty of attention! I have one small, friendly dog that would keep your pup company! I allow my dog on furniture and do not crate her, so I am willing to care for your dog in the way you prefer (crate, free roam, etc.)

Phillip did a phenomenal job caring for our older dog and cat while we were gone for five days. He followed all our extensive instructions and went above and beyond to clean up accidents, our pup always has them when we leave- he brought his own little green machine over (he asked first!) and carpet cleaned each spot! We got great photos and were kept in the loop each day, we felt confident they were having a great time with Phillip. We will absolutely be booking again!

About: Growing up, my family always had dogs and cats. Today animals continue to be an important part of my life. I'm a board member of a local humane society and volunteer weekly at the shelter. I also help with low-cost spay/neuter clinics, where I've worked with cats and dogs of many ages, sizes, personalities, and comfort levels. I know every dog is different. Some want long walks and lots of playtime. Others prefer a slower pace and plenty of affection. I take the time to learn your dog's routine, personality, and needs so they can feel comfortable and secure while you're away. Friends and colleagues describe me as dependable and patient. I pay close attention to details, communicate clearly, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. Whether your dog needs exercise, companionship or simply a familiar routine, I'll care for them as if they were my own. My goal is simple: for your dog to feel safe, happy, and loved, and for you to have complete peace of mind while you're away. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I work as an entrepreneur and consultant, which gives me flexibility to schedule visits, walks, feedings, and check-ins throughout the day. Because I manage my own schedule, I'm often able to accommodate pets who need consistent care, medication reminders, multiple daily visits, or extra attention while their families are away. I intentionally limit my commitments so I can provide dependable, personalized care rather than rushing between appointments. When I accept a booking, I make your pet's wellbeing a priority. I'm happy to provide overnight house sitting in your home. Many pets are most comfortable staying in their familiar surroundings, keeping their normal routines, and receiving one-on-one attention in a place they know and trust. When caring for your pets, I'll follow your instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, litter box cleaning, playtime, and any other routines that are important to your household. I'll also send regular updates and photos so you can stay connected and know how your pets are doing while you're away. I understand that hiring a house sitter means trusting someone with both your pets and your home. I take that responsibility seriously. I'll treat your home with care and respect, keep things tidy, and leave everything as I found it so you can return home to happy pets and peace of mind.

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.

Deann was so easy to book with and did a great job. I could tell from her meeting my pups that I had nothing to worry about. She sent us picture updates and the house looked like no one had even stayed there. We would defintiely ask Deann to come back again.

Samantha did a wonderful job housesitting our dogs. One dog takes quite a bit of medication, but she managed it just fine. I hope that I can work with Samantha in the future!

FAQs for House Sitting - Fort Atkinson

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Fort Atkinson on Rover is $61.05 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 1,006 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Fort Atkinson. On Rover:

  • 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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.
