About: I have a GSD husky myself so I know how to deal with any pets with alot of energy. So whether it's multiple animals or one I'm your guy! Weekends are pretty open and I work 8-5 during the week but I am able to drop by if during that time period on weekdays during my break. I will feed and play with your dogs until they won't play anymore. I will feed them and make sure they feel comfortable with me while I'm with them
“Ariel was wonderful. She sent lots of pictures and kept me informed. I could tell she spent a lot of quality time with Kallie. She also left the house in perfect condition. She did everything I asked her to and went above and beyond. I highly recommend her.”
“Cameron was very attentive to our 10 year old golden retriever! He was also very accommodating with us since we had to change plans last minute. Definitely will book him again in the future!!”
“Aliyah was very professional and Tiger was happy when we got home. She was helpful with all that I asked. I am not sure if she took Tiger on any walks, but that might have been because of the weather.”
About: I have 9 years of experience caring for animals and have worked at two boarding kennels for over 3 years. I have experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities. I am comfortable with feeding, walking, bathing, cleaning, giving attention, and keeping pets safe and comfortable. I work part-time, but I have a flexible schedule and can make time for pet care. I’m available for drop-ins, walks, and boarding depending on my work schedule. I graduate in December so my schedule will free up even more! I have over 3 years of professional experience working at boarding kennels, so I understand how important safety and supervision are. I provide a clean, calm, and comfortable environment and treat every pet with care and patience. I unfortunately cant really have pets over at my house due to having a reactive dog and a bird
“Nicole is very patient and sweet. Even though my dog is anxious with new people, he was comfortable with her from the start. She took him on several walks and gave him lots of love. I highly recommend Nicole!”
“Heather watched my 2 dogs in our home for several days while I was out of town. She was absolutely amazing with them!! They’re both very different personalities and she cared for them both well, and kept me updated along the way. She responds quickly and reached out with any questions which made me feel reassured they were taken care of. Would absolutely book with her again and recommend her for anyone!”
About: I have four years of experience working in dog boarding facilities, where I held a management role and consistently ensured top-quality care for the local pups. I have experience with reactive dogs and larger breeds, so I am able to care for dogs of all sizes! I'm currently working part-time, but am slowly transitioning to staying home. I will gain more availability to spend with your furry friends in the near future! My pets are considered family. They spend their time roaming and getting showered with attention and love! My dog gets walked and taken out for hiking adventures whenever we get the opportunity!
“Noelani was great! Diesel took to her immediately. From photos she sent, he was clearly relaxed with her. She was especially helpful in accommodating a last minute request from us due to a last minute cancellation by our usual sitter. Will definitely request her services in the future, and would definitely recommend others to contact her as well.”
“This was the first time hiring Christopher to watch our GIANT St. Bernard for three nights. It was nothing but awesome. He shared phots and was extremely communicative. Gretel enjoyed her time with Christopher - we will hire him again when we need to leave town. Five Stars!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Hortonville
Evelyn is the BEST pet sitter we've used on Rover! She is very communicative and organized. You could tell from the all the pictures she sent that our pup loved spending time with her! She went above and beyond to clean up before she left. I'm very appreciative of how well she took care of our sweet, old girl! We will definitely be using her again in the future!
Mary Elise was so very incredibly kind to coordinate and cover at last minute. Our fur babies absolutely loved her!! She sent several updates and gorgeous photos. I fully appreciated her reaching out whenever she had questions. She is irreplaceable and we will DEFINITELY be booking with her again!!
Didi is always so amazing and coordinated with my mother in law since we were in such a drastically different time zone. We always appreciate her flexibility and are consistently blown away with how well she takes care of our dogs and our house while we are away. I truly cant recommend her enough!! She is incredible!!
When Ariel arrived, Kallie was wagging her tail. She clearly likes Ariel. Ariel spent quality time with Kallie. She was not just in and out. She also sent pictures and kept me informed. I feel very comfortable leaving Kallie with Ariel and having Ariel house sit. I would highly recommend Ariel S.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Hortonville is $44 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $57 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.
As of October 2026, there are 1,434 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Hortonville. 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 Hortonville 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 Hortonville 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 Hortonville 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.

- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
