“Kimberly is such a wonderful person and clearly loves our little girl Piper J. Longbottom. We were so happy to get pictures and knew Piper was in good hands. We highly recommend her to anyone considering hiring her.”
“Carlie was an absolute joy. We have two dogs, one who can be a bit of a handful. Carlie was flexible with our needs and incredibly responsive. We appreciated all the photos she sent during our time away and I'd highly recommend her to anyone looking for some extra love and attention for their pups. We will be using her for all of our future travels- thanks Carlie!”
“We absolutely LOVED Rebecca and so did our dog Reba! We’re so happy we decided to have a house sitter instead of the traditional boarding route. We will 100% rebook with Rebecca moving forward.”
“Once again, Pam is the best sitter we could ask for. She is so kind, patient, and understanding of our shy rescue, providing him with love and care while respecting his boundaries. She is wonderfully communicative and we were able to enjoy our trip fully knowing our pup was in good hands.”
About: Bilingual and able to communicate with families in Spanish, as well. Neighbors and friends have trusted me to care for their pets/homes for almost 7 years. They often say we're (my fiance and I) the only ones they trust to care for their pets. I have experience with senior pets and worked at a rescue previously. Excited to be going full time pet sitting/walking in 2026! I'm very reliable, flexible and am available last minute, 7 days a week and on holidays. I take extra care to keep pets happy, safe and comfortable. I follow instructions given and use caution when necessary to prevent any escapes. I do not do boarding in my home.
“Lizzie was a great in-home option for us while we were away for a few nights. I wasn’t concerned about our dogs while we were away and appreciated coming home to happy dogs! Thanks, Lizzie!”
“Emma was absolutely fantastic with our large dogs! They are a bit high maintenance in their own ways but they were taken care of perfectly! Will absolutely be booking again in the future!”
“We had an amazing experience with Amber! She went above and beyond in every way. She stayed overnight with our dogs, took them on walks, and kept us updated with plenty of pictures and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. The biggest surprise was coming home to our dogs’ feeding station it had been spotless! We had left it pretty messy, and she cleaned it immaculately without us ever asking. That level of care and attention to detail meant so much to us. It’s obvious she genuinely loves animals and treated our dogs like they were her own. They were happy, well cared for, and clearly comfortable with her. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and will absolutely be booking with her again. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, thoughtful, and truly exceptional!”
About: I’ve grown up in a household that has always had at least two dogs, usually 3. We also have 3 indoor-outdoor cats. I am now a student at UW Madison, and I have a 5yr old heeler shepherd mix. Throughout her life I have trained her for obedience and herding, and have dealt with low confidence and reactivity with her daily. I am experienced with dogs who are shy and tend to be reactive. I have a part time internship at UW Madison, so I have partially and completely free days every week. That being said, I will have plenty of time to make house visits around this schedule. I have experience training dogs and love hanging out with any breed of dog. I believe dogs need both mental and physical stimulation in order to be fulfilled.
“Matthew watches our German Shepard fora Week. Cooper loved him. When Cooper will sleep with you and let you give belly rubs you know he loves you. While we were gone I got a notice the lawn service was coming the next day for the final application of the year. I texted Matt and asked him if he could clean up the poop in the back yard. He not only cleaned it up he also raked the leaves. Amazing!! Before we left he spent an entire day with Cooper so they could get to know each other and see if he had any questions. He’s amazing and we will be using him next time we travel.”
“Ashley was great! I loved getting all the pictures and updates. Especially for our first time using a pet sitter other than family. Really helped put me at ease that my dog was doing ok! 😌 I will definitely be using Ashley again!”
“Sydney did a fantastic job being with our dog, Della. She shared comments with us while we were gone. This made us feel confident that the care she provided was important to her. We would definitely ask Sydney to care for our dog again! Thank you.”
“Lensy was great with our dogs! They’re both special dogs - have some allergies and take medications, and she did great meeting their needs. She sent us updates and pictures and they had a great time with her!”
“Anali was great. She provided us with photos and detailed updates about our 2 dogs and was prompt with replies if I had a question. She is very friendly and energetic. I would definitely seek her services again.”
About: I have had dogs and cats while growing up and I currently work at a dog boarding facility where I work with dogs or cats with all different kinds of personalities and needs! I am looking to provide house sitting, drop-ins, and dog walking! Depending on the day, I usually have full availability and keep my calendar updated. During the months of June and July, I babysit half days so I am looking to do drop-ins or dog walks either in the morning or afternoon! During August, I will be available during weekends and in September, I start online college so I will be available most days! In my home, I currently take care of my 3 cats. I play with them whenever I get the chance. At my work, I take care of dogs and cats and always make sure they are getting activities in during the day!
“I left my 1 year old puppy Mack with Rebecca for a week. I was very nervous to leave him with someone I didn’t know personally. Rebecca was absolutely wonderful!! She sent daily pictures of him. She walked him and played with him and made him happy, as I could tell by the pictures. My house was clean and she was very attentive, that helped settle all of my concerns.”
“Leanne greatly exceeded our expectations. We had several last minute travel plan changes due weather and cancelled flights. She was consistently flexible and understanding. She communicated clearly and provided excellent care and love to our two dogs. We will certainly see if Leanne is available to care for our dogs in the future.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 790 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Lake Wisconsin. 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 Lake Wisconsin 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 Lake Wisconsin 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 Lake Wisconsin 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.
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.
