“Erin did a great job of putting our minds at ease while we were on vacation. She came every day and sent photos of our kitties to us and we know they loved having her there and getting some much needed attention. Thank you so much and we will definitely be contacting you again for future check ins.”
“Jeffery came for a drop by visit on short notice and did a wonderful job making Rio feel comfortable. I would definitely recommend him and will certainly be requesting his services again.”
“I can’t say enough good things about Angela! She took amazing care of our dog, Liza, while we were away. From the very beginning, communication was clear and prompt, and we felt completely at ease knowing our pup was in good hands. As a bonus, Angela sent us multiple pictures during her time with Liza!”
About: I am someone who genuinely has a love for all dogs and strives to provide the best care possible. Your dog will become a member of our family while in our care. I am a full time stay at home mom to a 6 year old and 3 year old. Adding a dog to the mix would bring us great joy and would be an awesome addition to our daily life. I am home all the time and can provide a loving and engaging environment for your dog. I have a large yard and lots of nearby trails for walks.
“Maddy is an excellent sitter! I was gone, internationally, for 8 days, and she made sure to check on my kitties at the discussed frequency while also providing me with pictures every single day to keep my mind at ease. She is super communicative and friendly as well. I highly, highly recommend booking with her if she is available.”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter than Melanie. She cared for our senior kitty with such kindness and attention, visiting every day while we were away. Not only did she spend time brushing and playing with him, but she also sent us daily photo updates—everything from his adorable little face to his tidy litter box, full water bowl, and stocked food dish. These thoughtful touches gave us so much peace of mind. Melanie went above and beyond in ways we didn’t expect—like noticing our freshly disinfected trash can and taking the initiative to add a liner. It’s that kind of attention to detail that shows how much she genuinely cares. Usually our kitty is anxious after we return from a trip, but this time he was calm and content, which says everything about the love and comfort Melanie gave him. We’re so grateful for her care and wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate sitter.”

My family and I started to foster dogs 3 years ago and I have met 23 new pups and sent them off to perfect family’s! I love working with dogs and getting to see each of their own unique personalities! I am a full time student and I work part time virtually. I have time in between my classes where I would like something to do and getting exercise and getting to see dogs is a perfect way! I play with them so they can get their energy out and let them out to use the bathroom. I can also feed them and walk them if necessary
About: I have taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember! Growing up we had Great Danes, bulldogs, Dalmatians, and a wiener dog! Other family members and neighbors have relied on me to feed, bathe, walk, and care for their beloved fur babies throughout my life! We also currently have 2 cats that I will occasionally care for while my brother is out of town. I work 12 hour shifts as a nurse, so I have 4/7 days free to care for your fur babies! I can take your dog on a walk, feed them, let them out potty, etc. just let me know how I can help! I recently moved to Green Bay for work and live in an apartment that does not allow animals; however I am more than willing to travel to your home to care for your fur baby!

I also have 10+ years of experience working in an animal hospital and I am comfortable with administering medical treatment when needed. I am relatively new to the area with an open schedule during the day that allows me to spend plenty of time getting to know your companion animals. Safety is a priority for me so I make sure to follow your specifications pertaining to your animal. No two animals are alike and I will ensure that I follow your guidelines on what is right for you and your pet.

I just retired from my job as a a physical therapist so my schedule is very flexible! And I can accommodate whatever schedule your pet is on!

I will follow any instructions you give me and abide by any pet rules you have in your home. I will give them lots of love!!

About: I have 2 dogs myself, springer spaniels who are full of personality and energy. My pet sitting experience has been going on for almost more than 6 years now. On many accounts I have stayed for a week at a time to dog sit. I have watched all kinds of dogs from a French Bulldog to a Bernese mountain dog. I love nothing more than to spend time with dogs whether it’s walking them or just hanging out with them! I live in Appleton in the summer and winter for winter break, and in the fall and spring I live in De Pere! I am a sophomore at St. Norbert College and I am on the women's soccer team. On M/W/F I have classes from 9-1, on T/Th I have class from 8-11:30. I can definitely work around those times!! My dogs are home are extremely spoiled, so that carries over to whichever dog I get to pet sit. Little things like making sure they are walked/exercised everyday, water is filled, and a healthy amount of treats :)

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Howard
Erin was amazing! She is new to us and felt like we have known her much longer. Erin became buddies with my high maintenance boy right away and was so gentle and kind with my dads senior dog. She also had tips for April on how to help her, as her time is coming soon. I highly recommend Erin!
Shanna was amazing! She accommodated my last-minute request and even fit in a meet and greet the same day. She gave Baylee the playtime, attention, and potty breaks she needed, and gave me so much peace of mind knowing she was in good hands. I’m so grateful for her flexibility and care and would absolutely recommend her!
Faith is a true blessing to our home & family. Our girls LOVE her and we are so happy to have found someone who is attentive and caring while we are gone.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Howard is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $28 per visit. 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 November 2026, there are 547 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Howard. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Howard. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
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.
