About: I have worked professionally for over 10 years in the animal industry, focusing on animal care and training. I was a dog trainer instructor for 5 years, and have worked with over 50 breeds of dogs of varying ages and obedience levels. I have also worked as a zookeeper for 5 years, and provided a high level of accredited care to all types of animals. Unfortunately my health has taken a turn for the worse this past year, and I can no longer sustain a healthy work life balance at the place I work at. I am very saddened by it, but I hope you will allow me to provide the quality and level of care I aspire to on a smaller and more personalized level. I am currently part time and in transition to another career path, working the late morning into early afternoon for only four hours a day. As such I can accommodate early mornings and late evening tasks, such as a walk or feeding or check in. We are animas of routine and I will do my best to keep any daily routine you have with your pet to keep your absence as stress free as possible.
About: Hello! I am Victoria. I am going to school part-time for Business Management and work full time on 3rd shift, which gives me time during the off hours to drop in and check on your pet as well as take them for a nice walk during the day. I’ve had and taken care of pets since I was 10, mainly dogs, lizards and hamsters. I have experience with dogs ranging from puppies to seniors and am comfortable giving medication as needed. I work 3rd shift. I am available between my sleep schedule, mid day to mid afternoon to care for your pet with drop-ins and take for walks, usually 20-30min. I care for the pet as they were my own. There’s no shortage of walks, scratches, love and cuddles. And any other enrichment the pet may need.
“First time using anyone for staying in-home to sit my cat. Patty was exceptional in the care of my not-so-healthy cat. I had complete confidence in Patty and my cat is doing well upon our return. The “extras” Patty does is above and beyond. I would highly recommend Patty!”
“Sarah was excellent, and great last minute help.! She made time to meet myself and Rocky prior to sitting which I appreciated a lot. She was very trustworthy and made me feel comfortable leaving my Rocky with her!”
About: I have had cats and dogs my entire life, and I love them all dearly. Many family members and friends have relied on me to take care of their pets when out of town, on vacation, etc. My life is centered around making my own pets, and others’ pets, happy and healthy. I have a very flexible schedule since I attend college online, which allows me to accommodate a variety of pet care needs throughout the week. I am available mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends and I’ll do my best to work around your schedule whenever possible. I strive to keep your pets routine as consistent and stress-free as possible while you’re away. I’ll provide plenty of care, love attention, exercise, and updates so you can have peace of mind, knowing they are well cared for.
“Thanks for always going above and beyond with my dog! You are the best dog sitter I have had and I will always try to book when available. I love all the updates you give and how in contact you are the whole time. Thank you so much for everything!”
“We were out of town, just for an overnight, but the weather became questionable. Jessica was very flexible and let us know if we needed to postpone our return that she would take care of Ruby!”
“Lisa was exactly who we were hoping for as a sitter for Buddy. It was our and his first time overnight and she made it very comfortable for all of us. We received some fun photos of Buddy as well. Lisa gave us a full report when we got home. The best news was seeing Buddy going to the door after Lisa left and he was asking us when is she coming back! Highly recommended!”
“Benji had a great time at Jennifer‘s place, He had lots of snuggle time, plenty of walks and just love chilling with her and her son. He was well taken care of and I look forward to our next time Benji can stay at your house. Jennifer was great with Benji and sent photos and text messages for updates on how he was doing!”
“I loved having Emily sit our animals. She sent pictures regularly which helped ease my mind since it was so hard to leave my pets! We will definitely use her for any future trips.”
“Judy was exceptionally thorough, attentive, communicative, and caring. We could not have asked for someone better to look after our dog, Arnie, while we were on vacation. We will certainly use Judy in the future.”
“We are so grateful to Tanya for taking such good care of our 2 hihuahuas and our indoor/outdoor cat. Our dogs have had a difficult time with prior pet sitters but for Tanya quickly had become trusting and affectionate to her within just a couple of days. Tanya left the home in a remarkably clean condition. She is very professional and excelled our expectations. Thank you, Tanya! She is now our goto petsitter. 😊”
About: I am a dedicated and experienced pet caregiver with two years of professional experience, working in dog boarding and doggy daycare environments. During my time in professional boarding and daycare, I developed a deep understanding of dog behavior, body language, and group dynamics. I learned how to safely manage dogs of all sizes temperament and energy levels while ensuring each dog felt comfortable safe and well cared for my daily responsibilities included feeding supervising play groups, maintaining clean and safe spaces, monitoring behavior and providing individualized attention to each dog. My love for animals began long before my professional experience. I have loved animals my entire life and grew up with pets starting from small pets like guinea pigs and growing into caring for many pets at once. Today I am a proud parent of three dogs (Remi,Nala,Trixie) and three cats (Linus, Hunter, Sweet Pea) of my own, which is giving me firsthand experience with daily pet routines, multi pet households and providing consistent loving care. Caring for animals is not just a job for me. It’s something I’m truly passionate about. I treat every pet as they were my own and strive to create a safe, fun and nurturing environment where pets feel comfortable and owners feel confident, leaving their furry family members in my care My schedule is centered around caring for my and your animals. I’m able to offer very flexible availability to meet the needs of pet owners whether it’s early-morning evenings or last-minute requests I do my best to accommodate different schedules. I understand how important it is to have someone dependable and available when life gets busy. I’m committed to being there when your pet needs care. As my home is already a zoo so I cannot provide care there, I’m happy to provide loving reliable care in your homes where your pets feel most comfortable. I have no problem traveling to your home to feed provide potty brakes playtime, and make sure your pets are safe happy and well cared for while you’re away. I treat every home and pet with respect and care as if they are my own in addition to in-home visits. I also offer walking services to help keep your dogs, active exercise and on their normal routine.
“This was my first time using Rover and I couldn't have been happier having Tarah take care of my dogs. She was professional, courteous, and just loved on my dogs like I do. She even handled my deaf special needs boy who is very active. :)”
About: I have had the most pleasure of growing up with dogs and receiving the endless love they give you. Although, I have no professional experience but I have learned how to handle dogs, feed them, walk them, teach them skills by always having dogs in my household. They deserve so much love and I want to do everything in my power to make sure dogs and every animal receives that. I am available after 4 for dog walking and dog drop ins! I will try to be as flexible and accommodating to your pet(s)! I have a dog myself and after work I like to take her on long walks and on my days off. It would be the perfect time to take care of your pet as it fits in my schedule! I live in a pretty safe area with not a lot of traffic. I make sure to keep the dogs or pets on a leash and be aware of my surroundings!

Travis 🐾 I have had the pleasure of growing up on a farm surrounded by around animals my entire life. My family has owned many gorgeous retrievers that I fell in love with and took care of. I’d be in charge of walking, letting them out or dog sat for the weekend once I was older. Growing up this way has been a positive learning experience that lead me to be a great dog owner. 10 years ago I adopted Sadie, my first baby. She’s a beautiful lab mix. I have learned so much in the last decade about training dogs. I’ve taken puppy training class and still use a lot of that knowledge till this day. Sadie is extremely well trained and if I could I would 100% be a dog trainer. I’m not a dog whisperer but I definitely have a good understanding of how to handle pups and adult dogs. Dogs are easily my main love, but all animals have a special place in my heart. I value the connection and constant love they show towards their owners. I treat my dog like my daughter and would love to have have more one day. It would be a pleasure to care after your family member. I work full time M-F, with the ability to stop at home during the day. Also my wife is home most Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays. So we work together to let the dogs out at appropriate time and keep them on their feeding schedule. Weekends are fun times with plenty walking, hikes, swimming, and dog parks if the owner is comfortable with us doing so. We go for two to 3 walks a day with our playful lab pups. We always have dogs on leash, and we have multiple kennels for our dogs if needed.

FAQs for House Sitting - Johnsonville
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 185 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Johnsonville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Johnsonville walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Johnsonville maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Johnsonville choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.

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.
