“Nicole is one of our favorite repeat dog sitters for our guy Miko. He was so excited to see her the last time she watched him. She provides lots of updates and pictures. We know Miko is in good hands when she’s watching him.”
“Krystle is nothing short of phenomenal! She took on the challenge of an extended stay with my recently-rescued Shepherd. She was patient with his separation anxiety, sent frequent photos and updates and because of her warm personality and ability to connect with my furry guy — I had zero concerns while I was away.”
About: I’ve worked with dogs and cats aswell as many other animals for many years! I know how to groom, bathe and clip nails, I know how to train aswell when it comes to both cats and dogs, knowing i’ve pet sat for family and friends since i was young it grew on me for training them! I can trick, potty, behavior train too! I take care of my own pets everyday! i find it relaxing and enjoyable, it brings me great joy to spend time with animals and gives me a sense of purpose! I love to make sure everything is clean and tidy, dishes are clean as well as the animals, making sure they have what they need and have quality enrichment time.
About: WE'VE MOVED! Same great care, new location featuring a larger home and more land to play :) We are an active family with 3 children (and one on the way) who love to play outside, take long walks, and even run with our dog. Animals are well-loved in our home and welcome on the furniture. I would love to include your pet in any exercise needs as well! We are available for walking pets before 8 am and after 4:30 p.m. every day. I can also do mid-day drop-ins if located in the Wausau area (best if northeast side of Wausau as I work in the Industrial park or near Merrill since my husband works there). We have a 3500+ sq foot house and 10 wooded acres, so there is plenty of room for more pets to house overnight. My kids absolutely love playing ball and walking the dog, too! We have an energetic black lab who loves to play. I believe in being active and playing as much as possible with my family (but am totally ok watching dogs who love to nap :) ).
About: I have experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. Ever since I was young I’ve had a dog in the house, to me your dog is your family and I strive to treat all my animals like family members. As of now I have a pretty open schedule including weekends. As for drop in visits I prefer to keep them in the Wausau area I can provide a crate/kennel for your dog if needed. I have a French Bulldog that is very high energy and excited when new people/dogs arrive, he is very vocal but he is friendly.He is more standoffish with people but does great with dogs. He is up to date on vaccinations and neutered. I have a large partially fenced in yard.As far as drop in visits I am able to make 2-3 visits a day to your home.
“This was Ashley’s first time taking care of Annie and all was well. Annie can be fearful and timid but Ashley made sure Annie had everything she needed while I was out of town for a wedding.”
About: I’ve grown up with cats and small dogs my whole life. Right now I have two boy cats from an animal farm in Puerto Rico. Our favorite activities are cuddling and taking walks with the cat stroller. I have had some experience dog sitting small and medium sized dogs for family and friends for days to a week at a time. I love animals and I will treat your pet like my own. I have a flexible schedule currently; let’s work something out! I’m currently working part-time, so I have an abundance of time to spend caring for and playing with your pet(s). I generally work Monday, Tuesday, Friday, and Saturday evenings. I currently do not offer boarding in my own house. My housemate has a shy and anxious, but very adorable, cat who does not get along with my two kitties and we need all the space we can get for their comfort. Thank you for understanding.
About: I’ve taken care of animals for a while now, I’ve always had the en in my home. I have a two cats just in my apartment but two big dogs at home with my parents. I’ve gone over to houses to take care of dogs and cats and even a pigeon. Im nineteen and in college. I promise to respect your environment, rules, and your home, thank you! I’m currently working part time, Monday, Tuesday, and sundays usually work best for me, but if you have something outside of that time frame please reach out and we might be able to figure something out! I promise to respect your home and your rules, everything that you ask for I will get done! If we could talk about the details of your animals and what they need that would be amazing!
“Leora was delightful right after meeting her; she is kind, easy to communicate with and definitely a pet lover! She greeted my dog and he immediately liked her. Her reviews from past clients were accurate and I felt very comfortable with the care and attention she provided. She was very accommodating to the needs and concerns I expressed in regard to the care I desired and communicated with me on how things were going. I would certainly recommended Leora for pet care to any future clients! I will schedule her again for any future needs if she is available!”
“Being a first time user, I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. They were excellent, kept me updated, sent pictures and videos throughout their stay. Will definitely be using them again!”
About: I grew up with pets and now have had a dog of my own for the last 6 years. I have also taken care of many of my friend’s dogs (including senior pups). I am excited for the opportunity to help in caring for your pet as well! They’ll absolutely be treated like family. I am currently working part time. I have tons of availability and flexibility at this time. I am happy to work around various schedules as well. I am familiar with various crate and leash systems. I have also worked with various breeds and personalities. I will ensure that I will do my best each visit to make sure your pet is as comfortable as possible.
“Macey did another fantastic job for us staying at our home and watching our four Great Danes and that is a lot of work! We trust her completely. The dogs love her and are always happy to see her. She takes the best care of them and still don’t know how she keeps the house so clean. We highly recommend Macey to anyone!!!”
About: I have several years of hands-on experience pet sitting for friends, family and clients. I have cared for pets of all ages and sizes. My experience includes, my own pets my whole life including puppies, daily walks, feeding schedules, medications, playtime and overnight care. I will provide regular updates with photos and I am attentive to pets routines, making sure they feel safe and comfortable while owners are away. I work full time from 8am-5pm but have the ability to take breaks for drop in visits. I am more than happy to work around this schedule. I have a fenced in yard and a playful and friendly mini dachshund of my own to keep your dog company while you are away. I understand dogs needs and will make sure my home or yours is a safe and loving environment for them.
About: My experience consists of senior animals and animals who require a little more time and attention. I take care of pets with very specific requirements such as giving daily oral medications, or only liking one flavor of the kibble in their bowl which requires me to pick out the pieces. Regardless if your pet needs a lot to even just a companion, I strive to build a good relationship with each animal I care for. I currently work nights without a set schedule and every other weekend, so I will be readily available for your pet sitting needs! I have a flexible schedule so please don’t hesitate to ask if I’m available and I will help you if I can! It would be a pleasure for me to feed your animal, take them for walks, play with them, give them companionship, keep their brain stimulated, brush them, crate them if necessary and more. I understand everyone has specific preferences with their pets so I will do my best to accommodate their specific needs. My goal is to keep your pet happy, yet safe!
“She was awesome! Sent us lots of pictures of our pup and cat, kept track of when our pup went out and what she did outside, and when/what they ate. Most importantly, our pets seemed very happy in her care. Definitely would like to book with her again!!”
About: I have always had pets in my life. From rescued dogs I would fine abandoned on the side of the road to horses who were about to be euthanized by our local rancher. Cats, kittens, puppies and adult senior dogs always have a place in my heart and home. I am an adopter and rescuer. I would love to help you with potty breaks to walks. Feeding to medication administration. Let me know what you need help with and I’ll be there. I’m currently looking to help pet owners as I have been in situations where I needed help with drop ins for potty breaks to needing someone to walk my dog while I was at work. I’m familiar and comfortable with doing all of the above along with giving oral or topical medication. I’m recently retired and would love to spend time helping out. I am very familiar with dogs and cats and all that goes along with making sure they’re comfortable and well taken care of care of.
About: I’ve grown up with many different kinds of animals from dogs to bunnies & hamsters. I’ve also been around cats my entire life we just never had one in the house because my mom was allergic. I love animals as they have been my entire life growing up! I have been dog sitting for a year now, since January 2025 Pet care takes place in my everyday life because I have an 8-year-old dog and just got a puppy recently. I love to take them on walks and play with them outside. I also love teaching them new tricks and making sure they have fresh food and water. I can take your dogs on walks if they need them daily. I would also love to play with them to keep them entertained and get there energy out. If your dog sleeps in the bed no worries I love to have a snuggle bug next me.
“Jon was a super awesome dog sitter. I had him house sit and watch my dogs and took amazing care of my two dogs. He gave me lots of updates of how they were doing. Would highly recommend Jon for any of your animal care needs!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 86 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Little Eau Claire. 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 Little Eau Claire 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 Little Eau Claire 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 Little Eau Claire 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.
