“Olivia took excellent care of Padme. She kept me updated and sent me pictures while I was away. She did more than I would’ve ever expected! Will definitely use her again in the future!”
About: I have been lucky enough to have a pet and friends or family with pets my whole life. I have been able to pet-sit for tons of people when growing up and now! I have had dogs with special needs, elderly dogs, puppies, and everything in between so I am ready for anything! I am a teacher so I get off work fairly early in the evenings. I have every weekend off! I do not have a summer job as of now and will be a lot more available then but wanted to get started now! I am in a very safe and pet-friendly apartment complex with tons of green space and a dog park. The neighborhood I am located in is easily walkable and a massive park just up the road!
“Rowan helped us out in a pinch and was great to work with. I could tell through the communication with him that he really cares about animals. He made every effort to make our anxious pup comfortable. I would definitely use him again in the future.”
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.
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!
About: I have a lifetime of experience loving and caring for animals, and I’ve had dogs my entire life. With 100+ bookings both on and off Rover, you can feel confident your fur baby is in caring, experienced hands. I’m loving, gentle, patient, and treat every pet like family. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, happy, and right at home while you’re away! 🐶❤️ I am currently available for nights and weekends for when your pets need a sitter! I work Monday- Friday but can still house sit, I just won’t be able to do middle of day care. 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.
“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’ve grown up around animals and love being outdoors! I have most recently worked as a horse wrangler and have had lots of experience with being around dogs and animals. I will treat your pet as my own and have full availability right now! Would love the chance to give some pups some exercise I have a flexible schedule and spend a lot of time being active outdoors. I’m always going for walks and can take your pups on multiple a day! I can provide a safe, calm, and clean environment for pets. I live in a fairly large space with two doodles who are always looking for friends.
“Alex is amazing!!!! I have a 17 year old dog, who is mostly blind, and gets very nervous when left alone. It was my wedding weekend, and Alex agreed to spend time with my dog for the rehearsal night and also for the whole day and into the evening on my wedding day. Prior to her stay, we did a meet and greet and Alex was so kind, patient, and caring. I felt a huge weight lift, knowing I had found such a good sitter! I felt much more relaxed about leaving my dog with her, and that really helped me to stay present during my wedding day.”
About: I have grown up with a Golden Retriever and previously owned a Siberian Husky. I have a lot of experience watching dogs through family members. During the week I currently work from home 7:30a-4:30p but have a fairly flexible job. On the weekends I have an extremely open schedule majority of the time. If you supply me with the information of how long they need to be walked, give me the leash and let me know if they have any food allergies (I always like to treat the pup after a good long walk) I’ll be all set to go.
About: I've grown up with pets all my life. I had a dog and a cat as a kid and teen along with fish and reptiles. I currently have a beautiful cat now. I love being around animals and taking care of them. Brightens my whole day when I can just cuddle with my fur babies. Every morning I clean my cats bowls and refill them with water and dry food and I also give my cat wet food in the morning. I clean the litter pan twice a day as well. When I had a dog same thing except I would walk him twice a day and take him out to potty every 2-4 hours. Have a large back yard with posts to keep pets leashed but enough to roam the yard. I have a dog park within minutes from my home too! If you want your fur baby in a crate I have room to put crates up.

The average cost of House Sitting in Hortonville is $43 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $43 and $43 per night.

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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
