“Brandy took excellent care of our cats while we were on vacation. She sent lots of pictures and made sure to keep us updated on how they were doing. We came back to healthy, happy fur babies!”
About: Hi, my name is Audrianna. I have had animals since I was born. I have been taking care of large dogs and cats for years, including, playing, feeding, medications, and other fun activities! I would love to give some love to your puppies or kitties! I’m currently working at the Edgerton Vet Clinic, which is what made me want to start on rover! I have work 4 days a week but can leave around noon daily for potty breaks! I’m also free most weekends to hangout with your fur babies! I will follow any restrictions/expectations that you have for both, your animals and I. I can handle watching/handling larger dogs. I’m willing to take time to build trust with fur babies who may need a little extra time to warm up!
“I Kaitlyn did a wonderful job of checking in on my cat! - she was very easy to communicate with & provided detailed updates and pictures. I had peace of mind knowing my cat was well looked after - I highly recommend her services!”
“Monica did a fantastic job taking care of my kitty. She arrived on time every day and spent time with him. After a couple days my kitty, who is scared of everyone, started letting her pet him. I will call on Monica again when I go out of town. 😊”
“Ian was a super pet watcher for us he was very reliable and had great communication throughout a long day! I appreciate him very much. I could tell our pu ps were very quickly at ease with him and I did not feel stressed or worried myself. I would 100% utilize his services again!”
“Kayla was able to drop in on our dogs while we where away for the weekend. She checked in for the visits on our agreed open times and sent pics while she was there. We will definitely use her again!”
About: I’ve had my own dogs but I’ve also spent about 7 years as a foster mom to needy dogs and have had the pleasure of watching 14 dogs pass through my home on their way to a forever family . I’ve had dogs in heat , sick with heartworm and kennel cough . I currently have a 11 year old foster failure pit bull that is completely comfortable with me being gone for long stretches of time and all hours as well , he has access to the yard with doggy doors . I’m recently retired and am looking for new ways to occupy my time other than clocking in !! My dog is 11 and we typically are super low key and I have no commitment on a daily basis . At the present time I would be doing only in your home care , my dog is old and used to being an only dog , too late to change . I can easily do anytime or even overnights , he’s used to me being gone
“I have nothing but good things to say about Tia! Only having her for a week now watching my cane corso, I would absolutely recommend her for your pet drop in visits! I will continue to book with her as my schedule fits perfectly with her availability. A big thank you to her for being so good to my baby”
“Chanse took excellent care of our two cats during drop-in visits and sent us pictures and updates of how the visits went each time. I would definitely recommend her, and will be booking her again.”
About: I have cared for every type of animal from childhood varying from dogs, cats, horses, and goats. I have cared for these animals from birth to end of life care while administering end of life medications. I’m currently available throughout the week and weekends while I’m in between jobs. I currently do not have any restrictions in my schedule for my availability. I do have a new baby at home and would like to be able to bring her to long stays if it is a good fitting for your family and pets. If not, I completely understand and have alternative arrangements for her. I have a (small) fenced yard and two small dogs (pugs) who can keep your dogs company. I can also crate if needed. The fence is not equipped for large dogs and is approximately four feet high.
About: I've had pets my whole life. It started small with turtles, then graduated to cats and finally dogs. I have experience with many breeds and pets with allergies. I can administer oral medication but don't have experience with injections. I have one dog of my own currently, a Great Dane. I currently work a pretty flexible schedule at my job so dropping early in the morning or later in the evening is no problem at all. I do not provide house sitting in my home, I would come to your house to watch your fur baby where they feel the most comfortable.
“She did an awesome job! Drop in visits right around the times we needed. Good pictures for updates while we were away. The animals had no issues with her and appeared to have a great time! We will use her again if we go on another out of town trip!”
About: Currently, I own three dogs. I've owned dogs in the past as well. I am trustworthy, I feed and take care of my pets all day. I take my dogs on a walk every morning and afternoon. Three times a week, I will take them to the local dog park. I volunteer at my local humane society. I've been asked to take care of different pets multiple times. I make sure to complete every task and responsibility I am given no matter what they involve. What sets me apart from other sitters and walkers is I have a connection to any animal I meet. The dogs I meet are always very friendly to me. People can always depend on me to take care of their pets.
About: I’ve taken care my own, as well as other dogs my whole life as well as being a foster through Diamond Dogs, giving me experience with a variety of breeds! I have experience feeding, administering medication and so much more! I’m currently a full time teacher so my schedule is very open in the summers! During the school year I am at my school from 7:30-3:45 but am able to go straight from work to your home! I have a lot of open time for house visits, house sitting, and walks. Pet care is largely based on what clients prefer. I love going on walks, going to the dog park, and doing whatever I can to help your pup get rid of some energy! If you have an older or a low energy dog I am still down to chill with them and give them some much needed company while you’re away!

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 .

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 with handling special pet needs in Janesville. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% 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 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.
