“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. 👍”
“We love Addie! She has house sat for us a couple times now and done a drop in visit as well. She is quick to respond and willing to work with you on shifting times or unexpected situations. If she has a question or concern about your home or pup, she asks. Addie is also thoughtful and we can tell our pup enjoys having her around!”

“Luke is the best! He takes such great care of our kiddos. He sends pictures and videos of their cuteness, and doesn't hesitate to reach out with questions. The house always looks great when we get home. Luke is very conscientious. Even our shy cat is very comfortable around Luke!”
“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.”
About: I've had the honors of taking care of cats and dogs since I was 11 years old. I love animal sitting for my friends while they go on short get aways, or whether they just need another friendly human companion. I love animals so dearly and now own 3 cats. I hope to soon expand my fur baby count to 4 including a dog! I'm currently going to school part time so I'm unavailable mondays after 4:30 p.m., Thursdays 8:30 a.m. until 12 p.m., and am also unavailable fridays 8 a.m. until 11 a.m. Otherwise my schedule is pretty open! I'd prefer to animal sit in the owner's house but if needed, I have an open yard near the end of a culdesac. Theres one fence on the back lot of the yard, otherwise it's pretty open. I live nearby a few parks and trails where they'd be able to run, enjoy smells and feel free.
“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!”

“Laren stayed for a 3 day weekend with our 3 dogs and 2 cats. She did a fantastic job. She followed through on all our instructions and requests. She was prompt in returning messages and sent us photos too. She even made friends with our very shy cat who will normaly never even be around strangers. She's truly a "cat whisperer"! We recommend her highly!”
“Courtney is an amazing kitten and house sitter. She took care of my cats and my place as if they were her own. She was good with communication and did everything that we had agreed on. I highly recommend her!”
“Kari was nothing short of amazing! She had frequent communication with my while I was away. She took pictures of my dogs and sent them very frequently. I was super unsure of how my female, Buna, would act around her because she tends to be aggressive in the beginning; but, Buna warmed up to her like no other! I don't know what it is, but, Kari just loved on my dogs as if they were her own. There is no doubt in my mind that I'll use her again to care for my fur babies! I've also told my friends about her! Thanks, Kari!”
About: I love to babysitting dogs because they always make me smile, have fun and love to play with them. I am a dog lover I always make sure dogs eat healthy, make sure they are happy and make sure they go out. I do have my own dog and I always make sure everything okay and what she need. I will always make sure I treat the dog like my own. I will always make sure they have the best care I can provide like I do with my own dog. I enjoy seeing that happy mood once the dog is walked, fed and played. I know when I am with animals, I feel relaxed instead of being stressed out because I feel that they believe in me.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - North La Crosse
Michael took amazing care of our dog and cat and home while we were away for 10 days. He was thoughtful and kept in touch with us every day. We're so grateful to be able to feel confident that our girls were safe, happy, and extremely well cared for while we were away.
Dacia did a great job sitting for our dog and two cats. She was very communicative and easy going ahead of time when we were going over everything and during the meet and greet. She was very responsive during the sit and gave us plenty of updates. Our dog can be kind of slow to warm up to new people but Dacia took it all in stride and was fast friends with the animals. The house was spotless when we got home and all the animals were happy and relaxed.
Hannah was on time for both the meet and greet and petsitting date and asked good clarifying questions about Milo's care. She sent several pictures of Milo each day we were gone and kept us updated. Most importantly, Milo appeared to be very happy when we returned. We would definitely use Hannah for again for dogsitting!
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!
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!!!

FAQs for House Sitting - North La Crosse
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in North La Crosse is $47 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $56 per night. 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 130 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across North 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 North 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 North 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 North 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 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.

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.
