About: I helped care for the pets in my home starting as a young child. I would walk, feed and play with my pets as well as potty training. I also spent one year working for a dog walking/pet sitting service before my children were born. Now that my children are older, I would love to care for other pets in their home and provide walks for dogs while their parents are away. I have pets and children in my home and am available for dog walking/drop in care most mornings and early afternoons during the week. I can also provide house sitting on weekday and weekend nights. I am happy to provide feeding, play, exercise, pottying, and overnight company to pets when their parents are away. Litter box cleaning and other light house cleaning can be provided as well.
“Nayzeth was great! Pup loved being with her and she did awesome job looking after him while sitting at our house. Walks and treats, she sent pics and he barely missed us. Feel he was very well cared for and we will definitely use Nayzeth again. Thanks!”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and have been involved in their daily care including feeding, walking, and playtime. As a former college athlete, I’m very active and dependable, and would love to take your dog on walks and runs. I’m attentive to each dog’s individual needs and will take care of your pet like it’s my own. I also have experience with off leash training! I recently graduated college and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to easily prioritize your pet’s needs. As a former college athlete, I’m used to maintaining a consistent routine and being dependable. I’m available throughout the day and can adapt to your pet’s specific schedule. In my home, I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment for pets. I do not currently have any pets, so your dog will have my full attention. I have a large backyard and plenty of indoor space for dogs to play and relax. I live in a quiet, residential area that is great for walks, and I always prioritize safety, supervision, and your pet’s comfort.
“My two puppies were very well cared for by Anne. It was my first time leaving them, so she sent lots of pics and text updates, which eased my mind. She is very good with our fury friends and I would highly recommend her. She is very attentive and did a wonderful job with my pups! She is well worth the cost for great care snd piece of mind. She’s a keeper!”

“Erica was so great with our pups! Even taking care of a new puppy, dealing with all that chaos, potty training etc. We got lots of pictures, updates and communication, and look forward to having her stay with our pups again.”

About: I have been raised with all sorts of animals since I was 2 years old. I am American Red Cross first aid/CPR certified, I have 4 years of experience working at different local groomers, and am currently attending Karen Pryor Academy for positive reinforcement training.

For house sitting bookings, I will be there 8pm-8am and then my rate also includes 2 mid-day drop ins. When it comes to your home, I will request a little summary of how to care for your pet. Tell me their favorite toys and snacks, if they have any cute nicknames or special words they go crazy over. And please tell me their favorite spots to be pet. I am here to give them all of the attention they could ever want! I am keen with positive reinforcement training, if you’d like that incorporated into visits/walks, just let me know!

If I am there to see your pet, that is all that will be done. ☺️ Please be aware if temperatures exceed 85°F, walk times will be reduced and drop-in services will be offered in order to protect pups from paw burns and heat stroke.

About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs with unique needs, including reactivity and behavioral challenges. I rescued my Australian Cattle Dog when she was three years old and have spent years training her and learning how to safely and compassionately manage reactivity around other animals and, at times, children. Through this experience, I’ve developed strong skills in reading animal body language, using positive reinforcement, and creating calm, structured environments.

I’m patient, attentive, and committed to providing the best possible care while you’re away, making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved at all times. I’m currently in my last semester college, which means I have plenty of time and flexibility in my schedule. Pet care fits naturally into my days, and I can give animals the attention they deserve. Spending time with furry friends is honestly the best way to spend time between and after class! I make sure to follow each pet’s routine closely and respect the rules and preferences set by their owner. I take the time to understand feeding schedules, play habits, and any specific instructions so that everyone feels comfortable and at ease. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and familiar environment for pets.
“Patty was a hit with our pup. Our pup even followed her out the door to her car when she left. I would definitely recommend Patty. She was personable, thoughtful, and really knew how to make our pup comfortable. We received videos and photos through out the day which made us comfortable.”

About: I’ve always had a deep love for animals, and I’m comfortable caring for pets of all kinds—dogs, cats, and even the more unique critters! I have experience with animals of all ages, from playful puppies to senior pets who need a little extra TLC. As a proud pet parent to two Great Danes, I understand just how much our pets mean to us—they’re family. My top priorities are making sure your pets feel happy, safe, and comfortable while you're away, and I treat every animal with the same care and attention I give my own. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine—I’m a stay-at-home mom, and I work around my kids’ homeschooling schedule. That means I’m home throughout the day and night, which allows me to give your pets plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship. If your pet is staying with us for boarding, they’ll never be left alone—we’re always home, and your furry friend will be treated like part of the family.

I’m experienced with crates, medications, feeding routines, and even a little light training reinforcement if needed. In our home, your pet will be surrounded by love and never left alone—we’re always home, and your pet will get plenty of attention and care. I live with two gentle Great Danes and two calm, pet-friendly cats, all of whom are well-socialized and respectful of new guests. We keep our environment clean, peaceful, and low-stress to make every pet feel safe and welcome. I’m also happy to go the extra mile—whether that means watering your plants, bringing in packages, or keeping you updated with sweet photo messages. I truly care about your pets and your peace of mind.
“Lisa was exactly who we were hoping for as a sitter for Buddy. It was our and his first time overnight and she made it very comfortable for all of us. We received some fun photos of Buddy as well. Lisa gave us a full report when we got home. The best news was seeing Buddy going to the door after Lisa left and he was asking us when is she coming back! Highly recommended!”

“We are so grateful to Tanya for taking such good care of our 2 hihuahuas and our indoor/outdoor cat. Our dogs have had a difficult time with prior pet sitters but for Tanya quickly had become trusting and affectionate to her within just a couple of days. Tanya left the home in a remarkably clean condition. She is very professional and excelled our expectations. Thank you, Tanya! She is now our goto petsitter. 😊”

FAQs for House Sitting - Manitowoc
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Manitowoc on Rover is $33.3 per night (as of June 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 June 2026, there are 110 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Manitowoc. 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 Manitowoc 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 Manitowoc 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 Manitowoc 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.
