“Natalia is the absolute best. She has been taking care of our dog and cat for almost two years now and we couldn’t be happier. She goes above and beyond simply feeding and bathroom breaks. And the great photos that she sends lets us see our fur babies when we are out of town and missing them! Our pets just love her.”

About: I love dogs & have been around them since I was a kid. I previously have fostered dogs and cats for the humane society. This included a reactive dog and a cat with FLV who required medicine every day. I also have my own dog who I love and care for everyday 🥰 I work from home & am self-employed so I have a very flexible schedule. I am available both on weekdays & weekends. I usually prefer to walk dogs in the morning or evening. I am very gentle with animals and usually get them to cooperate with treats, toys, or praise (positive reinforcement). I let them get comfortable with me at their own pace & read their body language to see how they're feeling.

About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, giving me many years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats. I work part-time at a pet boarding facility where I handle daily care for animals of all ages and temperaments. I am comfortable administering oral and topical medications, managing specialized treatments, and ensuring every pet feels safe and comfortable Hi! I am a current student at UW-La Crosse looking to help family’s care for their furry members. I love animals and want to combine my passion for pets with a flexible way to help fund my college education. Whether your pet needs an energetic walk, a friendly check-in during the day, or a dedicated companion for the weekend, I am here to help! My Availability: Weekdays: Flexible morning and afternoon hours (around my class schedule) Weekends: Available Saturdays and Sundays for overnight sitting, extended visits, or daytime care. I am responsible, energetic, and ready to give your pets the love and attention they deserve. Please feel free to reach out to discuss your pet's routine and how I can help! When I am home from college, I spend most of my time caring for my dog and cat. I ensure they both stay happy, healthy, and hydrated by managing their medications, keeping up with routine potty breaks and litter box cleaning, and attending to their overall well-being—all while giving them plenty of love!

About: I have taken care of my two pit bulls since the start of high school. I love giving affection to them, including others I have met in person. I used to have a senior dog who had joint problems and needed help on the stairs, bed, and sofa. I also love meeting my friends’ pets and giving them the same affection as I do with my own pets. I do drop in visits, house sitting, and dog walking. I would love to give your fur babies a bunch of affection and care. I’ll make sure to update you regularly with pictures so you know that your pets are in safe hands. Your pets safety is my top priority. For dog walking, I’ll make sure they stay off the road when the pavement is too hot and/or a car is coming. I will also stay alert to my surroundings. I am unemployed, so I have plenty of time to take care of your dogs and/or cats! I will be available Sunday through Thursday. I'll do my best in following your schedule so your pets won't get stressed by any sudden changes. I'll make sure to ask any questions on how to take care of your dogs and cats so I won't make any needless mistakes. I will also send you updates of your pets by sending you photos and texts.
About: Your pet’s comfort and happiness are my top priorities! I offer plenty of walks (yes, even in winter!) to keep your pup active and engaged. Whether it’s strolling around the lake or snuggling at home, I’m here to ensure they feel safe, loved, and right at home—even when you’re away. I currently make my own schedule which means I can be flexible and I’m available every other week for overnights and most weekdays for walks. I have a 13 y/o Border Collie that gets leashed walks. We love walks! Apollo loves making new friends unless they are a Boxer breed.
“Faith was conscientious and fantastic with giving Louie his pills and overall care. Would use her again. Did not aporeciate her putting my house key in mailbox instead of coming to my door, bad practice she can correct next time. Nice gal”

“Kiana was amazing during her drop in visits with our cats. She was able to get them to play and eat treats. She kept the litter boxes clean and the kitties happy. She even watered my plants! Kiana is a great communicator and I will definitely be using her again!”

“Randy has been wonderful. Charly needed a true dog person who could read his body language and facial expressions. Randy was spot on and worked great with him from the start. He worked off of Charly's energy and let Charly come to him when he was ready. We had 3 meet and greets with a dog that has been historically difficult to find sitters for and now for the first time we have someone we feel really safe with.”
About: I love animals and share my life with my boyfriend, two cats, and a dog. Our home is filled with their playful energy and affection. For years, I've enjoyed dog walking and dog sitting for friends and family, finding joy in every wagging tail and happy bark. Animals bring such warmth and companionship, and I cherish every moment spent caring for them. Whether it's cuddling on the couch or taking long walks, they make life richer and more fulfilling. I am currently employed as an Athletic Trainer for Emplify Health (formerly Gundersen) for the past 6 years. As much as I love providing care for the student-athletes at Central High School, I also love providing care for animals! I am typically at work in the afternoons starting around 1:00pm so I am available in the mornings on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday. I am available most weekends for pet care as well. My boyfriend and I currently have 2 cats and a dog that we care for. I take our dog, Daisy, on walks daily to ensure she is getting her exercises as needed. As a larger dog, I know the needs she has for her activity level. I have worked with her on commands as well since she was a puppy.

About: I'm someone who treats every pet like my own! I've taken care of my childhood dog and cats since I was very young, as well as my extended family and friend's animals. I consider myself dependable and patient, and I love giving pets plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and cuddles. I'm comfortable caring for all ages and personalities, and I'm happy to follow each pet's specific routine and needs. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, loved, and spoiled while you're away! Pet care fits naturally into my schedule because I enjoy being active and spending time with animals. I'm in my last semester of college and have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time for walks, playtime, feeding, and cuddles. My main focus is to keep your pet comfortable, safe, and on their normal routine. I'll follow any feeding, walking, medication, or care instructions you provide. I also want you to feel comfortable while you're away, so I'm happy to send updates and pictures so you know your pet is happy and well cared for!

About: I've had pets my whole life and have had kittens, puppies, cats, dogs, and animals outdoors. I've always had a heart for animals and am the type of person to save stray animals whenever I see them. I have experience caring for others animals and volunteer at the animals shelters from time to time. I'm currently a college student with a part time job!! Although that takes up quite a bit of my schedule, I still have plenty of free time to help care for your fur babies. I'm a very well organized person with a flexible schedule and can make nearly everything work out. Weekends, holidays, weeks long, or just a few days, you name it, I'll be there! I would say I'm a very responsible and organized person! I will care for your pets as if they're my own because I understand how much they mean to you. Your pets will be in safe hands!
About: I grew up with dogs and have had two dogs of our own for 11 years. We enjoy regular walks around our neighborhood and are experienced in giving vitamins and/or medication daily. I work full-time and am available to make trips home to allow bathroom breaks and home all evenings and weekends. I work full-time in La Crosse and am available in the early afternoons and evenings. Also available for an occasional trip for quick bathroom breaks/walks. My backyard faces a golf course, perfect for a peaceful and relaxing environment. Plenty of space to wander without the worries of lots of traffic or people.
“Karlie was so great with both of our pups! She truly cares about your pets needs and goes above and beyond to make sure you are comfortable with her care. Would absolutely recommend to anyone needing a reliable pet sitter!”

About: Hi, my name is Megan. I have been volunteering at my local Humane Society, for over 2 years, so I’ve had lots of experience with so many different breeds of dogs! I enjoy all types of animals. Potty breaks I know are important along with tons of play time. I am able to learn/ adapt to your pets needs! All animals are wonderful in my eyes! Lots of pets and scratches, and belly rubs also included! I personally would love to be able to watch your pets. It’s my dream job I’d say! I’m very laidback, and have a calm personality . Also I’ll treat your pet as I would my very own. I work part time! So most days I am available to walk or watch your animals! Just message me to talk more about how I can care for your animal(s)! I would do anything for my animals. There is a fenced in big back yard! My 2 dogs love it. I keep my two dogs as healthy as possible! I love them like family.
About: I used to work at a doggy daycare and I worked with horses for about a year, so nothing scares me. I fostered a dog for a year until she found her forever home and now I have my own rescue. She is my whole world. I will treat your furbabies like my own because I know they are your whole world too. I work 2 part-time jobs with a lot of availibility/flexibilty. I typically work either midday or evening, but it changes daily. I would work well with a flexible schedule. We would go for many walks during the day. My dog loves to play so they can tire each other out. If comfortable with other dogs, we could visit the dog park.

Natasha is amazing!! Sometimes I get stuck at work for long hours and she checks on my two big babies without issue. She's even brought them toys and taken photos with cute little halloween headbands to send to me when I miss them! I will definitely continue using her services :)

Randy has been wonderful. Charly needed a true dog person who could read his body language and facial expressions. Randy was spot on and worked great with him from the start. He worked off of Charly's energy and let Charly come to him when he was ready.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in La Crosse is $17 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $25 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 225 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across La Crosse. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 La Crosse. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 89% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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 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.
