“Kimberly was great! She took excellent care of my pit bull. She was responsive and sent photos and updates just as I asked. I’ll definitely trust Kimberly again to watch my dog!”
About: I’ve been taking care of Dogs since I was 8 different types of dogs. This allowed me to understand different types of dog behavior. It's been a true passion of mine to take care of dogs. I'm currently free as of now. I have time to house sit just about anytime of the week whether it's a weekend or a weekday at any time scheduled. I have a fenced-in yard that sits around 2 acres which allows bigger or smaller dogs to be able to get their Exercise or space needed to play.
“We could not be happier with the house sitting and pet sitting Mari provided for almost a week over the Christmas holiday. She was very communicative , caring, and just took the best care of our babies. We could not be more pleased and o forward to having Marie help next chance!”
“Christina truly went above all my expectations in not only caring for my pet, but for my home, as well. Christina was responsive and attentive from the moment I reached out to her to the moment I arrived home. It was such a relief to see my fur child happy, safe, and loved while I was away, and stress-free when I came home. Liam and I will definitely be reaching out to Christina in the future. Thank you, Christina!!”
“Outstanding job well done. Penny is courteous , informative, and professional. She kept us updated on our pets and made sure to send us lots of great picks of our little ones relaxing. Will book again.”
About: I have had and taken care of dogs of all age ranges over the years. I used to foster and take in rescues, so I’m used to all types of doggie personalities, sizes and ages. My dogs are like my children, and I will treat yours with the same love and care as my own. I am experienced with smaller and bigger dogs, and am adaptable to whatever their routine and needs may be! I want you to feel comfortable, knowing your babies are being taken care of while you’re at work or away. I usually work Thursday through Saturday, but sometimes that changes. Even if I have something planned on a day off, it’s something I can usually work around a walk or drop in easily. I live in a home where my fur babies have a fenced in area, as well as a free roam area. Im okay walking your pup or letting them out into a fenced area, whichever you prefer. My pups are crate trained so I am happy to make sure yours is safe and secured in theirs before I leave if that’s something that you use for their safety. Each pet is different, so I will look to your instructions for specifics on how to handle your fur baby and make the visit most enjoyable for them.

About: I have taken care of horses, cows, cats, dogs, birds, turtles and fish. I love all animals and know how stressful it can be to leave them when you have to leave them. I'm retired and have the time to love other pets other than my own. I wanted to volunteer at the human society, but my husband said no! He knows I would take home too many and I know he's right! I'm pretty good following instructions, plus I have some common sense. I can pretty much sense when a fur baby is happy or sad or sick.
About: I have parented dogs, cats, puppies and kittens for over 30 years. I love all animals and would care for almost any type. Same day availability. I’m retired and available any time. I work part time remotely as an accountant. I have a fenced yard, a garage, and an extra bedroom. I will spoil your fur babies as if they were my own. I speak all species of cat and dog, but I’m not fluent in bird. 🤭😉
About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was 10. I’ve had dogs of my own and other people’s pets as well. I love being around animals of all kinds and thoroughly enjoy taking care of them. I’m currently only working part time so I have plenty of time available to take care and play with your animals! I’d love to be able to help you out and play with your babies. I can care for your pets in whatever manner you prefer. I can walk them, play with them, feed them, and put them in their crate if needed.
“Leanne is very responsive and most important great with my baby. TedE hasn't had many people that I allow to look after him, but I would 100% have Leanne stay with again and recommend her. Within minutes TedE felt comfortable enough to roll over and let her rub his belly. When I returned home he was content and not anxious at all. She sent pictures which eased my nerves and let me see he was doing just fine. Looking forward to the next time. Thank you Leanne!”
About: I have cared for domestic pets of all kinds - cats, dogs (all sizes), birds, turtles, lizards, etc - as a sitter and for fun. My aunt (whom my mother lives with) is a dog trainer as well as a breeder (Cavalier King Charles Spaniel) 25+ yrs. I grew up volunteering my time doing puppy evaluations, crate-training, potty-training, etc. I frequently babysit my friends pets while they are away, and have cats of my own at the house! I recently resigned my job as a firefighter, and have extra time in my schedule to have a side gig I care about. Walks, hikes, runs and swims if the dog is active! I understand each pet as it’s own needs and individual personalities. I care for other pets as they were my own, and I hope to make a great fit as a sitter for you! I am available 24/7 for pet care (overnight or drop-ins) as I recently resigned from my job to move to FL with my partner. I am currently looking for a full-time job. So call me! I live in an apartment complex with a large, fenced in dog park. It’s location is safe, next to a middle school. We have plenty of empty space to watch pets over night in separate rooms, or let them roam free depending on their personal needs. Additionally, the complex is located next to an outdoor recreation area with walking trails and sidewalks.
“We had an excellent experience with Deyni. We came home to happy, relaxed, healthy dogs and cats as well as a clean home. We really appreciated the regular updates and photos. Deyni is professional and genuinely cares about animals. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for trustworthy, reliable, and compassionate care for their pets.”
“Cami was so great with our puppy! Our dog has separation anxiety but did great with Cami and her dogs! She sent regular updates and made sure we knew she was doing good. Will definitely be using her again! I could tell from the pictures that our pup had an absolute blast there.”
“Diane is absolutely amazing! Diane stayed in my home and sat for my 2 dogs. Diane was absolutely wonderful. She was very communicative and sent me pictures of my babies. I would definitely use Diane again for any sitting needs!”
“Lynne is exceptionally kind and thorough with her care. She was patient in getting to know Viva and provided lots of pictures and updates. She stayed at my home and left it in the exact order it was when she arrived. I highly recommend her and will be utilizing her services again.”
About: I have taken care of my families dogs on and off for many years, small and large. I am a very good listener, tell me the rules and I will enforce them. I am a part time college student, Monday and Wednesday afternoons, so I can spend nights those days keeping watch, but the rest of the week? Fully free. 24 hr care. I am quick to adapt my environment once pointed around, I can send scheduled updates on how your "little guy" is doing throughout the day.
“Terry was great! We were visiting Florida from out of town and needed a sitter for 8+ hours with fairly short notice. Our sweet pup isn't always a fan of strangers - especially when we're leaving him with them. Terry was able to win him over - and even sent me a video of her giving him a belly rub! Not only was she willing to stay with him the entire time, but she brought him two toys - one being a stuffed alligator which has become his favorite since we've returned home! Terry clearly loves animals and I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone to spoil their pet while they're away - she's Dudley approved!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Fort McCoy
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Fort McCoy on Rover is $55.5 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 455 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Fort McCoy. 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 McCoy 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 McCoy 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 McCoy 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.
