“Well from our first meet and greet to Samantha taking care of our girls, I can't more satisfied!! Samantha kept me updated thru the entire time we were out of town and even made progress with my scared baby. Samantha is absolutely the best and so dedicated to making sure everyone/dog is comfortable. When our flight got very delayed Samantha jumped back in to take care of my pups with no questions asked. Everyone should have a Samantha in their life, and I am so glad she came into ours!!”
“Anna was absolutely amazing. She was communicative, really cared about what was best for the cats, and did everything she could to make sure they were as comfortable as possible. It's so great that we found a sitter here in Gainesville that we can trust to take care of our kitties properly while we're away.”
“Emily is amazing!! She took care of both our very senior and puppy at our home and did a top notch job! It’s so nice to be able to go out of town and know our fur babies are safe and having a great time!”
“Riley stayed with my dogs for boarding at my place. I came home to two happy pups. Riley was easy to communicate with, left the space tidy, and kept me updated. Would definitely book again!”
“Kaitlyn was absolutely amazing! She took such great care of our pets and went above and beyond to make sure they were happy, safe, and loved while we were away. Her communication was great, and it truly gave us peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter and would 100% book her again. Highly recommend!”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is truly my passion. I’ve been working with animals since I was a little girl, and one of my very first jobs was at a local pet shop called Aquarium Connection. Over the years, I’ve gained experience with all kinds of animals — from dogs and cats to reptiles, birds, and exotic pets. I personally own several reptiles myself, so I’m very comfortable caring for reptiles and birds in addition to traditional pets. I’m not afraid to get messy, handle shy or nervous animals, or care for pets with disabilities or medical needs. I’m experienced with giving medications and making sure animals feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. Animals have always shown me unconditional love and comfort throughout my life, and being able to give that same care back to them means everything to me. I treat every pet like family and always strive to provide patient, loving, and dependable care. Pet care is a night weekends and holiday job. There are no off days ! I’m currently available 24 seven 365. I am looking to make my passion for animals into a full-time job Caring for my animals and others, is my upmost priority. They receive 100% of my time and attention. I have a completely fence and backyard with plenty of room to run. Inside they have a chance to meet three kitties, and have all the toys in the world. If they’re feeling adventurous, my bearded dragon would probably like to meet them too.
About: I love dogs and cats of all kinds and I will happily spend all day playing with yours! I have had dogs and cats since birth so I have experience with all steps of raising a pet. I'm well known for my belly rub and bum scratching skills and am excellent at playing fetch and just running around with your dog. My large car allows me to take dogs of all sizes on trips to the local dog park if it's not walking distance or to the vet if needed. I also love baking so don't be surprised if you come home to treats for you and your dog! I currently work full time but would be available evenings, mornings, weekends, and holidays. My job is a little flexible, so if you have a specific schedule in mind let's chat. I'm able to travel to your home so your little guy or gal can feel super comfortable in their home environment. I'll do whatever I can to make sure they're not missing you too much!
About: As a proud mom to two dogs and two cats, I have a passion for all animals—I’d own a zoo if I could! I bring patience, dependability, and plenty of affection to every visit. I take time to learn your pet’s personality, routines, and preferences so they feel comfortable and cared for. Whether they love walks, playtime, or quiet cuddles, I’ll give them thoughtful attention and keep you updated for peace of mind while you’re away. I currently work remotely part-time, which gives me flexibility to help busy families with their pet care needs. As a mom to two dogs and two cats, caring for animals is already part of my daily routine. I’d love to make time for yours, too—whether that means walks, feeding, playtime, or extra cuddles while you’re away. I care for pets in your home by following their familiar routines and your instructions. I’m happy to provide walks, meals, fresh water, playtime, and plenty of affection. For crated pets, I offer potty breaks and clean up any accidents to keep their space comfortable. I’m also available for house sitting, giving your pets care and companionship while you’re away. My goal is to help busy families feel confident their pets are in caring, dependable hands.
“Angelina is delightfuland did a wonderful job staying at my house taking care of my dogs. She stayed in communication, and sent me photos. I will not hesitate to have her petsit again. My dogs and I are super pleased!”
About: I currently own an Australian Shepherd, so i understand the importance of activities and mental stimulation a dog needs to be happy, calm, and healthy. Im currently almost always available, which means ill be able to help out as much as possible when it comes to pet care and house sitting. I am used to crate training which is needed for my dog when we run errands, as well as making a safe and fun environment for animals so they don't get bored and start being naughty and mischievous.
About: I have been a dog owner for the majority of my life and have provided reliable care to my friends’ pets for about 5 years. I have experience caring for puppies as well as multiple animals at once. I am a student at the University of Florida, but I have a mostly open schedule. I’m available all day on weekends, every weekday morning before 10 AM, after 11:30 AM every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, and after 5 PM on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I plan to maintain a safe environment for any animal, and I will cater the experience to each pet and their individual needs. It is important to me that your pet feels as comfortable as possible, whether that be in your home or mine. I will care for your pet according to your desired schedule to ensure they experience care and consistency even when away from their loving owner.
“Crystal is awesome! Being a veterinarian myself, I am pretty particular about who I choose to care for my dogs. Crystal is caring, detail-oriented, and compassionate. She had great communication with us about the booking and about how our dogs were doing and sent lots of pictures of them to keep our minds at ease while we were away. She was super understanding when our start and end dates needed to be changed due to unforeseen circumstances and I appreciated that so much. She has taken care of our dogs in our home twice now and I just booked her again for a longer trip. It is so nice to be able to relax knowing our dogs and our home are in good hands. I highly recommend Crystal to watch your fur babies!”
About: I have always had a dog in my home and have grown up with many different breeds of dogs/animals. I have owned horses, cats, and reptiles and am comfortable with animals of all sorts and familiar with the care that they need. I am also good with older dogs and have enough patience to deal with young puppies. I have experience with dogs that have medical needs and I know how to administer a lot of different medications. I am up early and can walk dogs/ check in on pets before I head to work. I am also free most evenings and on the weekends. My senior dog recently passed so I do not currently have any dogs in my home. I do have a fenced in courtyard but I prefer house sitting as this is usually easier for the animals in the home.
About: Hello! I have been an animal lover/owner all my life. I currently have a pup named Page who is a year and 2 months old and a previous pet Mia, who was epileptic and took daily medications to thrive. This helped to build my love and patience for pets! We enjoy going for car drives, exploring new trails, and beach days when the weather permits. I know that there can be angst when it comes to having to book a pet sitter as I too just started using the service. I have met some amazing pet care givers and decided I would love to try my hand since I have had so many years of experience with puppies, cats and adult dogs. My home space is very peaceful. I have a back yard that is fenced in for play time or just to sun bathe. I am also open to coming to your home for your convenience. If you have any questions or would like to have a phone call feel free to message me :) I work from home so I am blessed with the ability to be very hands on with my pet (and yours!) . We take frequent walks and potty breaks and typically work on a daily set schedule yet we are very flexible. I have a fenced backyard for potty breaks, play and sun bathing. I also have a spare bedroom in which I have a medium size cage, and other pet materials. You are more than welcome to bring your own cage and or any items that your pet would love to have in your absence.
“We were very happy with the care Kat gave Harley. She kept us informed as how he was doing and sent pictures so we knew he was doing okay. We would recommend her to other potential pet parents.”

She was absolutely amazing with my three dogs! She came last minute and was incredibly helpful, attentive, and caring. I could genuinely tell how much she loves animals and truly enjoys what she does. I felt so comfortable knowing my dogs were in such good hands. She also left my house clean and tidy, which was such an added bonus! I highly recommend her and would definitely have her watch my dogs again!
Anna was absolutely amazing. She was communicative, really cared about what was best for the cats, and did everything she could to make sure they were as comfortable as possible.

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 La Crosse 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 La Crosse 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 La Crosse 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.
