“Michael is an excellent sitter. My dog Patch is glad to see Michael and he has no issues when I leave the house. When I come back Patch is relaxed and not hyper or anxious. Michael takes care of my Patch like it was his. Lots of butt scratches and belly rubs!! The pictures and videos he sends are so sweet and reassuring. I recommend him without reservation ! And my house is in order!!! Thank you Michael. 👍”
“Natalia was wonderful. She spent a lot of quality time with our Lily - much more than other sitters we have had in the past - and kept us updated frequently. From her updates, you could tell that Natalia was really giving Lily her full attention because her descriptions of Lily's activities included all those little quirks that you would only know by being attentive. Lily took to Natalia right away when usually she is a little skeptical of new people. We came home to a relaxed, happy dog. We would highly recommend Natalia.”
“Daniel took fantastic care of our pups and our home. He was very responsive and sent pictures of his outdoor adventures with the dogs each day. We look forward to working with him again in the future!”
“Luke is the best! Very reliable and trustworthy. Great communication. He goes above and beyond to make sure our kiddos are well cared for. He shows them a lot of love. Our house is always in pristine shape when we get home. We highly recommend Luke!”
“Angi was above and beyond with our dog in our home. So many photos, check-ins, accident clean ups and she even cooked some additional dog food for us so when we got back he was all set for the week. Truly thought of everything. Such a fantastic experience!”
“Bella did an amazing job caring for our two dogs! Both are seniors with health issues, and she did great with communication and asking questions, ultimately making us feel more at ease leaving for a few days. We will definitely book with her again, and recommend her to anyone looking for dog sitting services!”

“Eliza was excellent with our 9 week old puppy, we have a chihuahua pug mix and she can be rowdy! They had so much fun and she even sent over a picture with an update. 10/10 would book again!”
“Holly was wonderful! She took extra time to meet our pup before his stay, which was so appreciated. She took our pup on lots of walks, gave him snuggles and helped find a way to calm his food anxiousness at her house. Would recommend her to anyone!”
About: I really enjoy taking care of my own and my family and friends’ pets. I connect with animals easily and feel good in their presence. I am currently taking care of my aging dog Bilka. I’m not teaching during the summer months and have a lot of availability in July and August. I can pet sit on weekdays and on weekends. I have a fenced in yard where my dog can roam around. My cat does not go outside but has comfortable spaces in the house to sleep or watch what happens outside through the windows. I will follow your safety rules to keep your pet safe and well.
“Alyssa was amazing with my pup who is a nervous little thing. I had left her with Alyssa all week, and I’ve never been away from her before, Alyssa sent me lots of pictures, and I could tell that my baby was bonding with Alyssa. Definitely recommend.”

Our dog loved Luke from the first moment he met him! Luke sent lots of pictures and kept us updated on how our dog was doing and what they were up to. The house was perfect when we came back! We will happily have Luke watch our dog anytime, and I know our dog already misses him!
Angela stayed at my home with my Ernie while I was out of town. Ernie was well taken care of!! Angela sent several photos. It is such a comfort to know that my Ernie is cared for so wonderfully while I am away!! I highly recommend Angela. She took great care of my senior dog and respected my home! Will definitely have her stay again!!
Bella did a great job w Tinker. She sent us photo updates while we were gone. She communicated e us on questions that she had. Neighbors reported seeing her giving Tinker walks. And the house was perfectly picked up when we returned home, as we had left it. We appreciated her calm demeanor w our shy Tinker. Would not hesitate to have her again,
Michael took excellent care of our home, garden, and our smart/high energy dog for an extended vacation. He was very receptive to our dog's energy level, diet, routine, house rules, a list of verbal and hand commands, and made sure to sprinkle in enrichment activities and cuddle time to prevent boredom or mischief. We received daily updates, photos, and even a few videos of our boy relaxing and having fun. Our house was impeccably tidy when we returned. I would love for Michael to be our sitter again in the future.
This is our second booking with Samantha. We’ve never left our cats for an extended period and I was anxious about being gone for a whole week. But Samantha kept us up to date on our babies with photos and videos, which truly contributed to a relaxing vacation. She even sent a video from our koi pond of our fish and growing tadpoles. Our cats looked comfortable and content in the photos and videos which was so nice to see :) She was also a stellar house sitter and went above and beyond. She collected the mail, took out the garbage, and didn’t leave a single dirty dish. The temps spiked right after we left and she was able to install the ac unit in one of our rooms (freestanding unit, no lifting!) to keep our kitties cool. We’re looking forward to booking Samantha again and I think our kitties will be happy with a familiar face as well.
Brooke was wonderful to work with! We booked with her last minute, she came over to meet us and our puppies before we left and worked with our crazy schedule. She was flexible and reliable. I will definitely be reaching out to Brooke again! Thank you, Brooke!!!
Paige was amazing from start to finish. She was quick to respond to our request and open to come for a meet and greet so our pets would know her prior to her staying with them. She sent pictures daily with updates and even celebrated our dog's birthday with him while we were gone by getting him a birthday hat. We came home to happy pets and an incredibly clean home. We will definitely be reaching out to Paige with any pet sitting needs in the future.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in La Crosse on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 142 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across La Crosse. 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 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.
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 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
