“Ian was great to work with! He was able to help out with multiple visits during a last-minute emergency. He was on time, clearly communicated, and gave my dog plenty of love and attention! 10/10 would use Ian again for future needs!”
“Karissa was fantastic and very reliable. My cat is not always the friendliest, but he really liked Karissa’s visits and let her pet him and engage with him with his toys. She sent lots of photos and gave detailed accounts of her visits. Would definitely book with her again and highly recommend. Thanks Karissa!”
“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!”
“Dawnlea is an amazing pet sitter! My pup has separation anxiety, but she was so warm, calm, and sweet with Matilde. She cleaned up my house when she had a little bit of an accident and was extremely communicative, always providing lots of updates and photos throughout her visits too. Definitely recommended her services to everyone in the Janesville area! 😄”
“Monica was wonderful! This was our first time needing to hire a pet sitter and from the start of meeting her, I felt comfortable leaving for vacation with her taking care of my 3 cats. The updates were wonderful, any issues she had she contacted us instantly, and my cats seemed to like her a lot too! If I ever need this service again, I will definitely hire Monica!”
“Kaleyanisa is wonderful, kind, and professional! She is extremely communicative and honestly went above and beyond for my pup, which I really really appreciated. 🥹 I would recommend her to EVERYONE. Thank you for treating my sweet girl like one of your own 🥹💕”

“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”
About: I’ve had animals my entire life. I have also been taking care of pets for family members and neighbors for quite some time. I love meeting new furry friends and I hope to meet many more I am currently working full time, but I’m looking to move more into a caregiving job, working with animals more frequently. As of right now I can do morning and afternoon visits, as needed during business days I can come to a clients home and provide whatever care is needed, whether it’s taking a young pup on a long walk, or just hanging out with a senior pup in the backyard while they do their business and enjoy some sun. Or even playing with a kitty and some string in the living room.
“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 been taking care of all kinds of dogs since I was just a wee one. We got our first dog when I was 2. I started taking in cats when I was a teenager. Animals just seem to gravitate towards me and we always become best friends. I am reliable, super friendly, and willing to go the extra mile for your fur babies. I work part time as a hairstylist, and hang out with doggies and kitties the other part of the time. Sometimes you might find my head in a book or on a fun diy project. I can be very accommodating to whatever your pets needs may be. I am willing to travel, take them to fun parks, and feel comfortable giving any medications to your furry little loved ones.
“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: Hi! Everyone has their passion in life. I've tried many different things in life and my passion is with animals, whether it be caretaking, feeding, walking, socializing and nurturing. I have years of experience with family pets including dogs, cats and hamsters. I also have extensive experience with farm animals in case you're looking for a sitter outside the realm of household companions, although, these days any animal may be considered that! I love all animals and would love to help yours be the happiest they can be. I'm available throughout the day to take care of your loved one. I can take care of a variety of needs including walking, feeding, socializing and more. Your trust in me with your pet is very important. And everyone's expectations with pet safety is different. I'll listen intently to your wishes so you won't have to worry about the welfare of your pet.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Janesville
Karissa was fantastic! I was nervous about being away from my pets all day, but she followed my instructions exactly. She spent her time playing with my cat and dog. They both loved her. Karissa even took adorable pictures of them for me. I will definitely be booking her again in the future!
Brandy did a great job with my pets. She let me know when my dog hurt his leg jumping off the couch (not her fault, he does this often) and kept me updated with pictures and videos on how he was doing so I could determine how to proceed. I really appreciated her help.
Kaleyanisa is wonderful, kind, and professional! She is extremely communicative and honestly went above and beyond for my pup, which I really really appreciated. 🥹 I would recommend her to EVERYONE. Thank you for treating my sweet girl like one of your own 🥹💕

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Janesville on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 717 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 with handling special pet needs in Janesville. On Rover:
- 98% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
