“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 had Alex watch our pups during our wedding weekend, and they loved her. Each picture she sent of them they were clearly having a great time, doggy smiles all around. 10/10 would book again.”
About: I have hands-on experience caring for cats, dogs, fish, and other aquatic animals, and I take pride in providing attentive, compassionate care. I have a cat of my own, so I understand the importance of patience, maintaining routines, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable. I also maintain multiple aquariums, caring for betta fish, community fish, African dwarf frogs, and snails, with a strong understanding of water quality, feeding, tank maintenance, and creating healthy environments. I'm attentive to the little details, take animal well-being seriously, and treat every pet as an individual with their own personality, needs, and preferences. I would love the opportunity to give your pets the same level of care, patience, and affection that I give my own! I currently work full-time as a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) at a rehabilitation and healthcare facility. My schedule can vary, but I am interested in offering pet care services part-time around my work commitments. I would love to use my days off and available free time to help local pet owners by providing dependable, attentive, and loving care for their pets. I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy to look after your furry family members, and I would treat every pet with the same patience and compassion that I bring to my healthcare career. Rover would be a wonderful opportunity for me to spend more time with animals, help people in my community, and earn some extra income while doing something I genuinely enjoy. I would be happy to discuss scheduling in advance to ensure I can provide consistent, reliable care for your pets! I prioritize creating a safe, clean, and comfortable environment for every pet in my care. As a CNA, I understand the importance of responsibility, patience, hygiene, and paying close attention to individual needs. I have experience caring for my own cat and maintaining multiple aquariums, and I always strive to keep animals comfortable, healthy, and stress-free. I will respect your home, follow your pet's established routines, and carefully follow all feeding, medication, and care instructions provided. Your pet's safety and well-being will always be my priority, and I will communicate with you to provide peace of mind while you're away.

“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!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 157 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.
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 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
