Loved having this option versus boarding our dog! He was well taken care of and Chelsey gave us updates each time with photos, which our kids loved to see. Very much appreciate the attention and care paid to our dog.

About: Hi, I’m Bailey! My love for pets has become a big part of my personality, as I grew up in a household that adores the company of furry friends. Currently, we have two loving Bernedoodles, three fuzzy cats, 4 calming fish, and a goofy ferret. Our home just doesn’t feel the same when there’s not a different creature in every room! Over the years, I’ve become the go-to sitter for friends, family, and neighbors as well. Through my personal life and pet sitting, I have experience with dogs of all sizes, and cats of all ages. I’ve cared for all sorts of animals, from guinea pigs, rats, and hamsters, to fish, turtles, and frogs. In addition, I’m well versed in young pet training, senior pet care, and medication of many types. That being said, my eagerness to provide does not stop at my experience, and I am always open to opportunities to learn about and spend time with new animals. I graduated high school in 2026, and I am looking for a fun way to gain experience and earn money during my gap year. I love nature, adventures, and creative endeavors of all sorts. I work a part time job at a family-owned restaurant in the Cedar Valley area, and this usually requires around 5 hours of my time, 2-3 days a week (Typically Tuesday/Wednesday, and Friday/Saturday). I want to make sure your pets get the care they deserve, and I will redirect you if this responsibility of mine conflicts with your schedule in a way that compromises the care you expect for your animal(s). I am open for daily check-ins, but my focus is on overnight stays. I would love to help everyone in your household stay comfortable during the occasion that you are separated from your furbabies. My main emphasis with pet sitting is well-rounded communication, especially in regards to you and your animal’s preferences. This includes any expectations you have of me, whether that be for meal times, activity, medication, or potty schedules. I am flexible and eager to help, but most of all, I want to ensure your pets stay healthy and happy while you’re away. In my experience, transparent communication is the key to achieving a smooth and stress-free sit. Nonetheless, I prioritize communication on my end as well, and will send updates and pictures as often as you would like me to. I enter every home with respect for the space and it’s inhabitants. I understand that to your furry companions, I am a stranger, and I allow pets to approach and introduce themselves to me at whatever rate they feel comfortable. I am adaptive to personal preferences, and will accommodate your pet’s needs to the best of my ability. Whether this entails snuggles and pets, enrichment and play, or walks of varying length, I am open to it all! I want to make sure your furry family member feels the pressure of routine change at the very least intensity possible. Caring for pets is a huge passion of mine, and I would be honored to take yours under my wing. Contact me for further information! At my current part-time food service job, I am occupied for 4-5 hours, 2-3 days a week. This typically falls on a Tuesday or Wednesday, and Friday or Saturday. These five hour shifts either start at 10:00 am or 3/4:00 pm, leaving plenty of time in my day to care for your pets. I also attend martial arts practice 45 minutes every Thursday evening. The only other time-consuming parts of my daily routine are commitments to family and friends, and volunteer work as a member of the nonprofit Independent Order of Odd Fellows. Of course, when pet sitting, your animals are my top priority. When I have your furry companion under my care, my more ‘’optional” duties come last. I am very flexible when it comes to adapting to your household’s routine, and will go above and beyond to accommodate. Whether this calls for 5:00 am feedings, or extra long walks, you can count me in! I enter every situation with patience, making sure your animals are first met with calmness. I believe that animals can be quite intuitive, and often feed off energy from those around them. Allowing them to approach me first, and modifying my behavior in response to different body language signs is how I secure trusting relationships with animals. In terms of daily expectations, I can manage daytime activities like walks, play, or trick-training, feeding requirements like free-graze, routine meals, or food-aligned medication, and nighttime expectations like kenneling, or staying in a certain area during bedtime. Just let me know what you and your animal need, and I’ll be happy to make it happen! Outside of pet care, I can help make sure your home stays in order while you’re away. I love cleaning, and if you need the trash taken out, the mail picked up, or the plants watered, shoot me a message! I am not only house sitting for your pet’s sake, but for yours as well, and I want to help ease the anxiety that comes with being away from home.

Danise was wonderful with our dog Dozer! He has quite a bit of anxiety, so it is hard to have him boarded when we go out of town! We wanted to do a last minute trip out of town for the night, and Danise was happy to help out! She came to our home to see Dozer, sent us updates and pictures, and worked well with his particular needs! We (and Dozer) would love to have Danise come back anytime!

Erika was WONDERFUL! Not only did she agree to watch my dogs SUPER last minute (I had already left for Chicago when my original plan for them fell through), but also right before a snowstorm! Still showed up as scheduled and even cleared a new path for them to potty (because they’re little). I also love that she stayed the full half-hour to snuggle with them and sent pictures and an update every visit! Will DEFINITELY use her again!

About: My whole life I’ve grown up with both dogs and cats. I’ve done some overnight house sitting with dogs within the last couple of years. Im comfortable with both older and younger animals. I personally have one cat of my own. I adore all types of animals. I work remotely with a very flexible schedule. This allows me to have the time to make sure the best care is given to your pets. I have always been a very vigilant pet owner. Having grown up with many different kinds of pets, I’m well aware each animal has their own needs. Whether that be a dog who has a ton of energy and needs a more engaging walk, or one who like to take a slower stroll. I’m ready for whatever needs your animal may have.

About: What sets me apart is the genuine care and attention I give every pet. I treat each one like my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, from puppies to seniors, and I'm comfortable administering medications and following special care instructions. As a college student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable pet care around my classes. Pet care is already a regular part of my routine, and I make time to give every pet the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. I'll always communicate my availability clearly and ensure your pet receives consistent, dependable care. Hi! I'm someone you can count on to give your pets the same love and care they receive at home. I understand that every pet has their own routine, and I make it a priority to follow it closely. Whether it's feeding, walks, playtime, or simply giving them lots of attention and affection, my goal is to keep your pet safe, comfortable, and happy while you're away. I treat every pet like they're my own and believe that patience, reliability, and communication are key to providing the best care possible. I'll make sure you have peace of mind by giving your furry family member the love and attention they deserve. Services I offer: 🐾 Drop-in visits- includes potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of snuggles to keep your pet happy and comfortable while you're away. 🚶 Dog walks- includes a fun stroll through the fresh air, either in your neighborhood or around a nearby trail to ensure your pup is getting some fresh air and exercise. 🏡 Dog sitting- includes staying overnight with your pup so they have company and comfort in their home. During this time, I provide daytime care every 4-6 hours for potty breaks, meals, playtime, and of course, cuddles. I'd love the opportunity to meet you and your pet and provide dependable care you can trust!

About: I have been a dedicated dog lover and caregiver for as long as I can remember. My experience ranges from raising my own beloved Boxers in the past to regularly working with a wide variety of breeds and sizes. Because I used to own Boxers, I am very experienced with high-energy, medium-to-large dogs. However, I consistently work with dogs across the entire spectrum. This goes from larger breeds like English Mastiffs to small breeds like Terriers and Chihuahua mixes. Beyond my personal history with pets, I am a certified Humane Society volunteer. Whether your dog is high-energy or a just likes to chill, I am committed to providing a safe, fun, and reliable environment tailored to their specific needs. I am fully comfortable administering medications (with provided instructions) and am experienced with most harness types. I also love sending photo and video updates so you can see exactly how your pup is doing! My schedule is currently limited as I finish my senior year, but I will have much more flexibility starting in June! During the summer, I will be balancing pet care with some part-time babysitting and occasional family trips. I am very diligent about keeping my booking calendar up to date, so please check my specific availability for your dates. I love spending my free time making sure your pups get plenty of exercise and attention! I will take great care to follow your specific house rules and keep your pets comfortable in their own space. I make it a point to double-check that all doors and gates are locked and that your dog is always secure on their leash during outdoor time. My goal is to maintain your pet's normal routine while giving you peace of mind with regular photo updates and clear communication throughout the stay.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Janesville on Rover is $22.2 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 125 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Janesville. 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 Janesville 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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
