“Michelle is warm, comforting, and calm. She was so good with our very traumatized Beagle rescue that he was able to relax and be a dog like he is with us. That has never happened before Especially after the first meeting! My husband and I are so very grateful to her and so happy to have her as a member of our family!”
“We rescued 2 dogs from a shelter a few weeks before we went on a 6 day vacation (we couldn't stand to see them in cages) so Bree stayed at our house and took very good care of our 2 dogs and 4 cats. She came out a couple weeks before to meet the puppies and so we could go over directions. This is our first time using Rover and we are 100% satisfied with the service. Bree was a Godsend and we would have had to cancel our trip if she wasn't able to help. She kept us updated woth pictures and text and we were able to enjoy ourselves because of that peace of mind. She is sweet, kind and caring and we now have a dog sitter for life :)”
About: I have one dog, and two cats. I have experience with senior care, as well as high energy breeds. At this time I am not offering boarding, but hopefully in the future. I'm available almost any time, any day. My dog gets walked 1-2 miles daily, sometimes twice per day. We have plenty of space and love to offer. I have one dog and two cats. Willing to watch crated or uncrated animals. Will exercise daily. Pets are allowed on the furniture and sleep on the bed, but will keep to specific trainings.
About: I started taking care of dogs when I was 12, and have always taken care of our family dog as well. Many pets tend to be drawn to me, and can sense my kind and gentle nature. Additionally, I take care of several animals including rabbits and a dog when a family friend is out of town. I will treat clients pets like they are my own, with loving care. I have a very flexible schedule, and I can be available to take care of your pet at any time. I also have my own car, and can drive to your home several times if needed to take care of your pet’s needs. I’d be happy to come to your home, walk your dog(s), feed your pets, play with them, and give them affection. If they have a little accident, I’d be happy to clean up after them, and spend time with them while the owners are away.
“We couldn’t be happier with the care our dog Walter received. Alex was incredibly attentive, responsible and kept us updated with great communication throughout her two night stay. Walter absolutely loved her and so did we. It’s such a relief to know he was in such loving and capable hands. Highly recommend.”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was a child. I have 8+ years experience with dog training while I was in 4-H. I also dog sit for multiple people who are always satisfied with my job. I am currently going to school to be a certified veterinary technician, so if your sweet pup needs any sort of medical TLC (oral or injectable medications/first aid) I can do that as well. I currently have a full time job as a veterinary assistant so generally I am available in the early morning, evenings, and weekends. I like to make schedules on both ends work out! I always keep my dog on a leash. I have a partially fenced in yard but my dog still remains on a leash to prevent getting loose. I will not let your pet off a leash due to liability reasons.
“Haylee was outstanding. She took excellent care of our fur baby who is blind. She also stayed the night and watched over our house. She is very experienced with pet care and we felt very comfortable using her for the first time. We will definitely use Haylee again.”
“Thank you so much Dana, it was a comfort to know our girls were safe and happy! Thanks for arriving on time and for all the updates. The house was tidy when we got home and all of the dogs were clearly well cared for. Thanks again!”

“I am very thankful for Kylee! She came through on helping dog/house sit while I was gone for a trip for work and she was able to make time for a meet and greet prior to my departure. Kylee is great with communication and made sure to ask any quesrii she felt was missing information for her with the notes I provided to her about my place and dog. While I was gone, she also provided me with updates and pictures of my dog as well, which was really nice. She cleaned up after herself while I was gone too and I will definitely be seeking her help again in the future!”
“Holly was wonderful! Very responsive to my questions, kept good track of my dogs eating and potty habits and sent lots of pictures! Very respectful of our home, even complimenting me on a couple of our things. I know that some people are hesitant to let a stranger into their home, but Holly was perfect. She asked about their routines, and followed them to a T, making our time away much easier on the dogs. 10/10 would book again.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Oconto
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 161 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Oconto. 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 Oconto 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 Oconto 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Oconto 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.
