“Hayley did a great job with our girls. I can always tell when they are well cared for because when we come home they barely notice we are gone. And they let us know if they are not! :) Hayley kept me well informed and sent pictures. Definitely recommend!”
“Ian was an absolute life saver! After another person backed out less than 48 hours before my husband and I were scheduled to leave town for several days, Ian answered my last minute request, and saved the day! He came to meet us and our dog the same evening as the request, and immediately established a rapport with our dog. While we were gone, he kept us updated on how things were going, and was very responsive to requests. I would love to have Ian stay with our dog again, and would highly recommend him to anyone!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all ages and sizes since I was 10, and my love for animals has only grown over the years! I believe every dog deserves patience, attention, and love, and I go above and beyond to make sure every pup feels safe, happy, and cared for. I won’t just watch your dog—I’ll treat them like family! I currently work part-time only two days a week, so I have plenty of flexibility to fit pet care into my schedule! I can plan my time around your pet’s needs and make sure they receive plenty of attention, love, and reliable care while you’re away. I’ll make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved by following their normal routine, keeping a close eye on them, and respecting your home and rules. I’ll follow all feeding and care instructions, keep them out of unsafe situations, and provide regular updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away!
“Susana was amazing! Our three pets can sometimes be a little shy, but they warmed up to her very quickly. She kept in touch with us sending lots of pictures which we really appreciated. She even vacuumed. The house was very clean when we got home. Highly recommended!”
About: I’ve had dogs all my life. I have a 7 year old golden named bode. I am familiar with medication distribution and other restrictions. Bode was diagnosed with lymphoma at 5 and has been in remission for 2 years. I grew up with labs as well as shitzus and my dad has a 9 year old golden. I would prefer to meet any candidate prior to boarding as they will be in the same space as my golden, he’s a gentle giant and gets along with all animals. He is a service animal so I have experience in training and younger dogs as well. I work from home full time and have a lot of free time to give during the week. Weekends are busy for me at the moment but will slow down come winter. I work from home so week days are great I have a lot of flexibility for walks and play time and potty breaks. Very attentive and will have my golden to play with. Big grass area to play at but no fence, live in a townhome with lots of toys. Since I work from home I’m very attentive and responsive.
About: I bring hands-on experience caring for dogs with a variety of needs, from energetic pups to seniors requiring extra attention. I’ve successfully cared for up to three dogs at a time, making sure each one gets individual love, exercise, and attention. I’m also comfortable providing medications—whether it’s oral medicine or ear treatments—so you can feel confident your pet’s health routines will be followed with care. My goal is always to make your dog feel safe, happy, and loved while giving you peace of mind knowing they’re in capable hands. As a full-time teacher, my weekdays are structured and reliable—which means your pets can count on a consistent routine with me, too! I’m available for drop-ins and walks before and after school hours, and I have every other weekend off, which allows me to dedicate extra time to longer visits, boarding, or overnight care. Teaching has given me patience, attentiveness, and strong multitasking skills—all qualities I bring into pet care. I also offer house sitting, which means your pets can stay in the comfort of their own home while I keep up with their routines and give them lots of love and attention. I make sure your pets feel safe, your home is cared for, and you have peace of mind while you’re away. Spending time with animals is truly one of the best parts of my week! When I’m caring for a dog in your home, I want them to feel completely loved and comfortable while you’re away. I do my best to stick to their normal routine—whether that’s mealtime, walks, playtime, or even just those quiet snuggle moments they look forward to. I pay close attention to the little things that make your dog happy, because I know how much they mean to you. While I’m there, I also treat your home with the same care and respect I’d want for my own. You can count on me to keep things tidy and follow your instructions so you can come back to both a happy pup and a peaceful home. My goal is always to make your dog feel like they’re spending time with a trusted friend until you return.
“We had Megan house sit for us for about 5 days. Our dog loved her and she took really good care of him and his puppy energy. She also watered the garden, fed our guinea pig, and left our house spotless. Communication with her wasn't an issue. For our In person meet and greet she used an app with a translator (went real smoothly) and while we were away she was great about texting us updates. Next time we need a house sitter she'll be the first person I reach out to!”
About: Hi! We're Ben and Jen, a dedicated pet-sitting duo with a lifelong love of animals and years of hands-on experience caring for them. While we've been house and pet sitting full-time for over a year, our experience with animals runs much deeper. Much of our time is spent caring for the homes and beloved pets of our wonderful recurring clients, but every now and then, we enjoy a change of pace and the opportunity to meet new furry friends! Along the way, we've built lasting friendships with pet owners and consistently earned 5-star reviews from happy clients. Unlike occasional sitters, this is our everyday life! We're comfortable with different breeds, personalities, routines, and household needs. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, companionship, or simply having someone nearby, we adapt to what makes them happiest. We especially enjoy longer stays because they give us time to really get to know each pet and help them feel comfortable and secure while their family is away. We travel with our two well-trained service dogs, Toto and Little Guy, who are accustomed to life on the road and meeting new friends. We always discuss introductions and compatibility beforehand. We treat every home with respect and every pet with the same love and attention we'd want for our own. We'd love to meet you and your furry family members! Currently a full time law student online and am flexible with my time and availability. As we have cared for a wide variety of animals we are flexible in creating a daily plan that fits your needs We have full discussion with every pet family what their expectations are, the pets habits and daily routine and any other concerns that should be addressed. Every family is different and so is every pet!

“Kirstin watched our dog on short notice after another sitter had to cancel. She was so great! Our dog was recovering from being sick and Kirstin kept us updated and our dog taken care of. Piper enjoyed herself all weekend and Kirstin took great care of the house as well. We won’t hesitate to have Kirstin sit for us again in the future!”
“Kya did an amazing job caring for our animals. She kept us updated every day and sent pictures, which we really loved. It was clear they were in great hands. We would definitely book with her again!”
“Probably the best sitter we ever had on rover. I can’t say enough for what Brynna did- she was amazing with our pups and kept in touch all the time. We went away on a cruise and my husband forgot his birth certificate and Brynna was home with our fur babies and was able to find it while we were in Florida and take a picture for us and send it to me via text. I mean she is the best!!! She kept the house spotless, she followed all directions with meds, loved and snuggled all our pets and did everything amazing. She is worth every penny and more. She is so easy to talk too and she is such a sweetheart! Highly recommend”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 785 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Koshkonong. 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 Koshkonong 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 Koshkonong 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 Koshkonong 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
