“Nicole was fantastic with my two senior dogs. She kept a consistent schedule, made sure they had their meds and supplements on time, and was an extremely respectful house guest. You can always tell your dogs felt safe and care for when they’re so calm greeting you after your trip. I would absolutely recommend her, she was amazing!”
“Joe did a great job with my dog. He knows dog commands and how to control a dog. My dog took to him right away when he started playing ball with him they became friends instantly. I would recommend Joe again and we'll be using him in the future.”
“Anne was wonderful and you can tell right from the first moments of meeting she is a dog person. I would definitely recommend her to anyone in the future. She took great care of our dogs and was very communicative. Thank you Anne ❤️”
“Highly Recommend! Mica is absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond while caring for our dogs. Not only did she walk them regularly, but she also spent time playing, snuggling, and giving them all the love and attention they needed. We could tell they were so happy and comfortable with her! What really blew us away was the extra personal touch—Mica knitted each of them their own little handkerchief. Seriously, who does that?! It’s clear she truly cares about the pets she looks after, and we felt 100% at ease knowing our dogs were in such good hands. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and thoughtful, Mica is your person. We can’t recommend her enough! Josh”
About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. As a child, I was always the one bringing home strays, and apparently, I never outgrew that animal-loving gene! My daughter and I used to enjoy caring for pets through Rover together when she was younger. Now that she’s off to college, I suddenly have a much quieter house and a lot more free time than I’m used to. I thought returning to Rover would be the perfect way to fill some of that empty-nest space with something I truly love: spending time with animals and giving them plenty of attention, affection, and care. I know how important it is to have someone trustworthy, dependable, and caring looking after your pet while you're away. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pet is being treated with the same love and attention I would want for my own. I currently work from home, which gives me plenty of flexibility and time to spend with your pet. Whether they enjoy long walks, playing, relaxing together, or curling up for some extra snuggles, I'm happy to give them the companionship they need. I love taking long walks, have plenty of patience, and, most importantly, I have lots of love and snuggles to go around! ❤️🐶🐱 I would love the opportunity to become one of your pet's favorite people while you're away! Pet care fits perfectly into my routine. I work from home and now have an empty nest, so I have plenty of time and flexibility for walks, playtime, snuggles, and personalized attention. I treat every pet as if they were my own. In your home, I’ll follow your instructions and your pet’s usual routine while providing dependable care, companionship, exercise, and plenty of affection.
“Olivia did a great job with both dogs and house was clean when I got home and dogs were very well taken care of. She sent me messages right when she got to the house and kept me well informed of how they were doing. I would absolutely hire Olivia again.”
“Having Evelyn watch our dog was a great decision and one we’ll repeat in the future for sure. We were feeling guilty about leaving our nervous dude for almost two weeks but Evelyn put our minds at eases. She came over beforehand, met Otto and took lots of notes. Evelyn took care of our house (even keeping garden veggies alive in summer) and our dog and you should too. Great communication too! Thanks Evelyn!”
“We’ve used Rover for years and never had such a positive experience as we did with Megan. She not only took diligent notes about all of my pups little quirks and preferences, but she really went the extra mile every opportunity she had. Our dogs loved her, too 😃. I will absolutely be using her in the future and recommending Megan to anyone looking for a pet/house sitter.”
About: As someone who’s been around dogs & cats (& more!) since I was born, I’ve loved pets for as long as I’ve been around! Whether it’s taking care of my own pets, or someone else’s furry friends, I have a lot of experience when it comes to both dogs and cats. I’m a responsible, experienced, & caring individual, & I’ve never met a dog or cat I didn’t like. Even better still, almost every dog and cat that’s met me has liked me! Whether it’s a rambunctious dog with lots of energy, or a relaxed cat who likes to nap, I can accommodate any type of pet. I’ve taken care of my energetic dogs when they were younger, & continued the care into their senior years. I’ve also taken care of multiple other dogs of all different ages (from puppies to wise, old dogs). When it comes to cats, the same applies. Kittens, senior kitties, and everything in between have been a big part of my life. If you have any questions, or would like to talk more about having me take care of your furry companion, don’t hesitate to reach out! I have flexibility when it comes to being available for your pet! Whether it’s a daily walk or an occasional drop-in, I love making time for some pet time. When coming into your home, I do my best to make sure your dog or cat is comfortable and at ease. Drop-in visits are all about making sure your pet is feeling comforted & attended to, even if that means just giving them their space! Walks include the same things as they mean more to your pet than just exercise & a potty break!
“Clara is amazing. Both my dogs love her. She send pictures and sends updates during her stay. We will definitely be using her again! I would highly recommend if looking for someone to watch you pets.”
About: I have had dogs my whole life, and I love them so much! I have 8 years of experience dog sitting, doing drop ins, as well as walks! I am always doing drop ins, and occasionally do overnight stays with dogs. I am in college and coaching soccer full time. I love dogs. I treat every dog like my own, and love on them the same way. I have been lucky enough to meet dogs of all different breeds, so my knowledge continues to grow.
“Hi Christopher, Thank you so much! This was our first time using your services since our regular pet sitter was unavailable, and we could not be happier. You treated our three Miniature Schnauzers as if they were your own, communicated daily with updates, and sent wonderful pictures. Your professionalism is top-notch. When you came for the meet-and-greet the week prior to our trip, we knew we were in good hands by how our boys reacted to you. We were also so pleased to see how wonderful the house looked when we arrived home; it was in better shape than how we left it. Leaving a nice thank you card was such a thoughtful added touch. We will definitely use your services again and will highly recommend you to our friends. Thank you again for your kindness and professionalism. Regards, Patrick and Rich”
“Sammy was great! She came by to meet Leo prior to our vacation and asked all sorts of questions which really showed me she was paying attention to all of the details and that doing a good job was important to her. Sammy sent me a few messages while we were gone with updates about Leo and let me know when she arrived and left. I hope to use her services again this summer!”
“Katarina was one of the best pet sitters I’ve ever had. I am very anxious to leave my dogs because my husband and I both work from home and are with them almost 24/7 and we have had some really bad experiences with sitters in the past. She went above and beyond to communicate and send updates. I could tell that she wasn’t just going through the routine, that she genuinely loves dogs and my dogs loved her. We have a puppy who can be a lot and she handled him so well. She left the house so clean and both dogs seemed relaxed and happy when we got home! I highly recommend her!!”
“Katherine’s attention and amazing care for our two dogs was above beyond any expectations! Immediately both of our boys were very comfortable and excited to see her. While we were away, she get several updates, photos and videos. All of which were very comforting and very much appreciated. Not to mention her quick response for our last minute need. We will absolutely be a recurring clients!!”
“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.”
“Norah is personable and reliable, and took good care of our home and two dogs for six days. When our husky mix turned down dinner and Norah observed her eating grass, she was right on top of things, immediately texting to ask if we had medication for an upset stomach (which we do). Norah was good-natured and patient with our doodle mix, who is young and rambunctious. She walked them both a couple of times each day, as we asked her to. We would definitely hire Norah again!”
“My wife and I had a family vacation for 5 days and it was our first time leaving our new home and pets, so naturally we were a little nervous! However, Rachel made it so we didn’t have to worry about anything while we were away. This was such a great experience and we highly recommend Rachel. She is very kind, respectful, and reliable! We love now feeling like we have someone we can trust when we need help with the pets and we are so grateful!!!! 10 stars!”

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.
Ava was beyond AMAZING! Not only did she provide standard pet care, she went above and beyond to love our fur babies as her own. It actually brings tears to my eyes to have been able to have such a trusting and nurturing person with our precious animals. We have now adopted Ava as a part of our family! Rover, thank you for making this connection possible!!!

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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.
