“Dan was great to work with again! Our 2 pups enjoyed having Dan watch them for an afternoon. Highly recommend! We will continue to work with him in the future. Thank you!”
“There is not enough space here to write all the great things about Sasha! She was a great communicator, and kept me updated throughout the whole visit! This was my first time using rover and she far exceeded my expectations. My dog wasn’t always the best at sleeping for Sasha, but Sasha did everything to make the visit comfortable”
“LOVE HER!!!! She did an amazing job! The house was in perfect shape when we got home and all pets were happy and wonderful. She sent photos of the dogs every day and clearly cuddles were no issues. We met before I booked and Becca is just a genuinely sweet and amazing soul. I was nervous to use the app for the first time but she put all concerns to rest. I will request Becca every time we need a house and dog sitter. She is extremely trustworthy and wonderful. THANK YOU BECCA!”

About: I have helped my daughter take care of her dog when she was on vacation multiple times. I really enjoy going on walks, so your dog will be pretty active. I currently work part-time on Saturday and Sunday, totaling 10 hours. I am free to help with any pet care needs, and will not be out of the house for too long. Pets aren’t just pets, they’re family. I will care for your pet the way you would and make sure they’re getting the love and attention they need!
“Amber watched our cat and dog for a week. Then our flight got cancelled and she came back for an extra day. Such a life saver. What could have been a stressful time she helped make it so much better. Highly recommend”
About: Triple decade caring for dogs, cats, and homestead animals. Available locally for pop-ins to cuddle/feed, long dog walks or some major play time. On those long run-around days or your next out of town vacation...you're pets will be well taken care of! I need a weeks notice to schedule in dedicated play time with your pet. While I'm at your place, taking the dog for a walk or feeding...they are my #1 priority and I want to give them all my love and attention! I have experience with indoor, outdoor and homestead animals. Safety in their environment is important and making sure they know I'm their safe person when you are away.
“Halley and her husband took such good care of my boy! I’ve never left him with anyone else but my family before and Halley really put me at ease, sending pictures and updates. 🥰 My pup usually doesn’t eat if I’m not there, just after one day with her he was eating and felt comfortable. I will definitely be using her again!”
About: I've been taking care of my friends, family and neighbors dogs for as long as I can remember. Anything from daily to week long periods I have fed, walked, and cared for those animals, as well as overnight stays at either my home or theirs. Pet care fits extremely well into my routine, I am an online college student with a majority of free time and flexibility. I am typically up early and readily available most of the time. I remain especially cleanly in my own home and clients, making sure to clean/ tidy up after the pet as well as stay attentive to their needs. Another way I care for pets is by enjoying their company, talking, playing and interacting with them on walks and at home to make sure they are safe, happy and attended to.
About: I’m the type of person who goes to a party and makes friends with the dog. My friends know I’m around when they see a blanket covering up their sleeping pup. My family has nicknamed me dog girl because I take on the challenge of caring for all of them during family functions. I have experience with dogs who need medication, eye drops, ear drops, or who have health issues. I work from home so I am able to hangout with your pet all day! I have a very flexible work schedule if appointments are needed. I prefer to care for dogs in my home but can watch in your home, let out during the day, and check on your home if away. At my home I leash all pets when letting them out. Dogs are allowed on my furniture, I even have a chair next to my work desk incase they want to lounge around on the job.

Dogs: Every dog client gets a FREE trial drop-in visit to ensure a good fit before the stay. This is to give you peace of mind before getting on the plane or in the car for your trip! We are available weekdays, weekends, and holidays! Our jobs our flexible so we are able to provide care at a variety of times! Your pets are our top priority when they are in our care! We provide dog walking, drop-in visits, house sitting, doggy day care and boarding! Why our boarding/doggy daycare is unique: 1. We only care for dogs from ONE household at a time so your pup will be the solo dog or be with their own pack. 2. We have dedicated half of our home to boarding/daycare for your pup(s)! They get to sleep in bed, be on furniture, and cuddle up while we watch TV. They will get hours and hours of dedicated attention and pets! 3. We live in the country next to the Wiouwash Trail. Your pup will get at least one if not more walks per day! 4. We have tie outs for outdoor activity and will take them around our half acre yard to get plenty of sniffs in! 5. We do have a cat but she lives on the other side of our home, so again giving your dog the one-on-one care they deserve. We require that boarding/daycare clients are good with cats though on the off chance they would get in by her! We do also require that boarding/daycare clients be crate trained for times when we are working or would need to leave the house :). Please let us know if you have any questions!
“Excellent dog sitter- our first time with our older (and slightly finicky dog Zeus). This sitter put us and our dog at ease- offering to come for a meet and great. Zeus even was eating well for her which has not happened with a first time pet sitter in the past. A great communicator. Will use again.”
“Rowan was a fantastic dog sitter. He was very friendly and accommodating and kept up really great communication. Our dog was very well cared for and we will absolutely be looking to hire him again.”
“Abby was great with our Springer spaniel. She kept in touch with me regularly up to the time of the booking and made contact with me while we were out, which I was very appreciative of. We were visiting from out of town so we were pleased to have someone like Abby available to keep an eye on Zoe.”
About: I have a lifetime of experience in loving animals, I’ve had dogs my entire life. I am loving, gentle and kind and will care for your family members as you would! I have had some medical issues so am currently not working and am available whenever your pets need a sitter! I have open an availability currently. I have a big back yard, no fence but enough of an area to safely play outside on long leash if that’s an option for your animals.
“Maddie watched four dogs (our regular three plus one rambunctious sassy puppy that we are fostering) in our home overnight. Communication was good throughout the stay and pictures and updates were provided. Maddie walked all four each day and fed and watered them as well as providing play time in the yard with the Chuck-It toys. She even worked in helping our foster puppy learn a couple commands!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Hortonville
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Hortonville on Rover is $42.8 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 274 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 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 Hortonville. On Rover:
- 83% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
