“This was my first time ever using this service so I was extremely nervous about it. Erin was awesome and informed me of the entire process! My fur baby is usually really timid when it comes to new people but not this time! Thanks again for the kind support!”
“We have been so fortunate to find two exceptional fur baby helpers, Angelica is one of them, this is someone that you want in your home with your baby protecting them and taking such good care of them. She truly goes above and beyond, and I will keep her as my sitter for as long as she will come, let my dog out💕💕”
“Angela was amazing to work with, especially with our short notice care request! She was very timely with her visits to Sophie and always sent comments and photos with each visit. We are so happy to have found our go-to for any of Sophie's future care needs, and cannot recommend her highly enough!!”
“Jeanne was wonderful to work with and she was great with my four cats. I could tell in all the pictures that they really liked her and were very well taken care of. She was reliable and it gave us peace of mind knowing our babies were in great hands! We would definitely hire her again! Thank you, Jeanne!”
About: I've had dogs of all sizes, since the 90s. I dog sit for friends and family in my fenced yard while their away and look forward to treat your pet like family as well. I'm conveniently located only 2 miles from Lambeau field and the airport and I'm happy to spoil your pet while your away. I have a flexible work schedule that allows me to work from home so I can be present for your pet and give them the love and attention they deserve. For the first time in a long time I have an empty house with a fenced yard. Plenty of space to run in a fenced in yard and lots of attention for your fur baby!
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I’ve helped care for pets for friends, family, and neighbors for years, including feeding, walks, playtime, and giving them attention while their owners are away. I’m patient, reliable, and love getting to know every pet’s personality. I’m currently working overnight so I’m usually free during the day, around noon would be perfect but I’m pretty flexible as far as letting your dog out or feeding your cat if needed! As a pet owner living in an apartment with my own dog, I understand how important it is for animals to get exercise, attention, and time outside instead of feeling cooped up indoors. I make it a priority to keep pets active, comfortable, and emotionally cared for through walks, playtime, and quality attention. I always want every animal in my care to feel safe, loved, and comfortable in whatever environment they’re in
“Rochelle did an awesome job caring for our three dogs while we were out of town for the day. She was sure to take LOTS of pictures to put me at ease for being a first time rover user. Last time we left our dogs with a sitter we went across the country and ended up having to put down one of our dogs while we were gone as she got really sick and needed multiple blood transfusions, so you can understand how aprehensive I was to leave my dogs again. Rochelle put my mind at ease from the moment I saw her interact with our dogs. She interacted with each dog personally and made sure each dog got 1x1 time with her which I loved. She was soo good with our girls, following our notes perfectly on feeding and sticking to their schedules. You can tell she loves dogs and is super patient with them. She's the next best thing to myself staying home to care for my girls. We will definitely book with her again hands down!!”
“Our dogs took to Amme right away, and so did we! She is easy-going, but also mature and reliable. She has been easy to reach and communicates before and after the visit. I recommend her!”
“Cannot recommend Emma enough. I booked with her kind of last minute but she was quick to respond and flexible with timing. She was super communicative during her visits with my cat, sending tons of pictures and info about how he was.”
“Carly did a great job looking after Murphy. Murphy had orthopedic surgery in February and now possibly another surgery to the other leg. She is on pain medications to keep her pain controlled and calm. Carly was on time twice a day to feed and medicate Murphy for pain and then stayed 30 minutes for ear rubs / reassurance. Carly also notified me that some boards were damaged on my back fence when a storm rolled through. I was able to get someone to quickly repair the fence while I was still out of town. I'm a first time user of Rover and will definitely use it again! Thanks!”
“I have been having Meg take care of my pets and house while out of town for extended periods of time. She's great with communication and status updates... does a wonderful job - highly recommended :) - Mike”
“Nora is super responsive and respectful. She instantly connected with my dog when they met for the first time. And she is very detailed in her notes. She was even kind enough to bring my garbage bin back in on a particularly windy day.”
About: I’ve been around dogs for most of my life family and friends pets and enjoy playing and taking care of them when needed love dogs of all sizes I’m currently working full time but love animals and helping with them where I can. Going on walks or just throwing a ball around I can do it all. Whether your fur baby likes to lounge around or be active I enjoy both and with 3 children at home keeping track and cleaning up after them is a regular past time of mine.
About: I have grown up with pets, dogs specifically my entire life! I love dogs of all ages, all shapes and sizes! Having an animal companion to spend time with is some of the best company you can ever have! In my family I have helped raise/train puppies, we have also fostered in my household, and I have taken care of animals for friends and family. I am a very active person, I teach phy ed, so I love getting out for walks or runs. I am a teacher, so during the summer my hours are pretty flexible. I do have to teach summer school in the mornings for a short period of time, but then I am available for mid morning or lunch time pet breaks! Making sure all animals are safe and well taken care of is very important to me. Following instructions on how a dog best responds is very critical. Dogs are animals of habit when trained, so I want to continue to follow routines and expectations that their owner has. In my full time job I am trusted with children and I understand that for many people, pets are loved just as much as a child.
“I recently had the pleasure of having Cheyenne cat sit my two beloved cats, and I couldn’t be happier with her service. Cheyenne was attentive, caring and insured my cats were comfortable and well taken care of. Her reliability and dedication truly made a difference and I returned home to two very happy cats. I highly recommend Cheyenne to anyone in need of a trustworthy and caring cat sitter. She is a true professional and a wonderful person who clearly loves what she does. My cats and I are grateful for her excellent care and will definitely be requesting her services again in the future if need be. Using the service for the first time, there were a lot of exceptional candidates to cat sit, but I am very happy with my decision to hire Cheyenne’s services, and you would be too. Thank you Cheyenne!”
“Shanna was so great to work with. She came to meet our pets and go over all instructions prior to her scheduled visits. This was the first time leaving our diabetic cat. I was comfortable doing so because I knew Shanna would handle giving the injections and provide all the attention that he needed. I would highly recommend Shanna.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Howard on Rover is $16.05 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 588 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Howard. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Howard stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 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.
