“Kendra was amazing with my dog Winter! She was a great house guest and cleaned up after herself and beyond. I got several pictures of Winter and prompt replies when I would check in. I will definitely use her every time I need someone to come stay.”
“Faith was amazing!! She was taking care of my 10 yr dog with special needs and loved her while I was on a week long business trip. She treated her with kindness and love!! Thank you Faith!!! I highly recommend her for any pet sitting needs you have!”
“Jade did a wonderful job sitting for Angel thru the 6 days when we were gone. I felt Angel was in good hands, she was very caring toward Angel. I could see Angel was very comfortable with Jade from the pictures Jade sent to me when I was traveling. Jade sent me daily pictures of Angel along with videos. That I really appreciated. I would recommend Jade to anyone who is looking for a good dog sitter. Kirsten M.”
About: Hi! I’m Reagan, a lifelong dog lover with previous Rover experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. Last year, I regularly welcomed pups into my home and loved getting to know each of their unique personalities and routines. I’m now back home living with my family and excited to start caring for furry friends again! I’m reliable, attentive, and will make sure your pet gets plenty of love, attention, walks, and playtime while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I’ll always treat them like they’re part of the family! 🐾🤍 PSA: my profile says that it’s three of us due to my old account, but it’s just me! I have a pretty open schedule. I work at night mostly on weekends, but I am free during the day! When I do work on the weekends, my shifts are no longer than 6 hours. I love to go for walks and will bring your dog along!! (If ok)I have a loving personality and will give your dog whatever attention they need!

“My experience in working with Taylor was excellent. Great communicator and most importantly cared for my 10yr lab while out in a work trip. Taylor went above and beyond what was required as she left the house spotless, and washed bedding and bathroom towels before leaving.”
“Mardi did a great job with our yellow lab Cooper. She stayed at our house and everything was neat and tidy when we returned from our 10 day trip. She and Cooper were like peas and carrots. We will definitely use her again, thanks Mardi!”
“Kirstin watched our dog on short notice after another sitter had to cancel. She was so great! Our dog was recovering from being sick and Kirstin kept us updated and our dog taken care of. Piper enjoyed herself all weekend and Kirstin took great care of the house as well. We won’t hesitate to have Kirstin sit for us again in the future!”
“Randy was great with our 2 rambunctious rescues! He took them out on several long walks together every day (no easy feat with the combined 120lbs of leash reactive dogs) and spent tons of time snuggling with them. Lots of updates throughout his stay! We came home to a spotless apartment and 2 happy pups. Would definitely book Randy again!”
About: I’m a kind and goofy gal that loves dogs with my whole being. I own a beagle named Luna that I love spending time with. Her mom needs to hustle to get more funds for our journeys and all the Trader Joe’s treats. I am constantly the friend that takes care of my friend’s dog and enjoy every moment. I hope you give me the opportunity to spend time with your pet! I’d be happy to expand on my experience and passion. My entire schedule revolves around my dog. I’m thinking about how to move things around for her and always checking if I can bring her with. I enjoy our three walks a day on our remote work from home days. I’m open to taking care of pets at my home or their own as long as you’re okay with mine being with us. I’d be happy to introduce them beforehand. I’m a horrible liar and believe in karma, so I treat everyone and their homes like I would want others to treat mine. Hopefully this isn’t too cheesy lol

“Aimee was great. She made sure the pups were loved the entire time and these two bulldogs want to be with people. Aimee kept the pups happy the entire time. Aimee communicated great and was very responsive if I checked in on things myself. I definitely recommend Aimee...as long as it isn't during a time where I would love her to stay with my pups, lol.”

“We booked Lauren to house sit for us and watch our dog for about a week while we were out of town. We're usually a little nervous every time we have to leave our dog since she can have a little bit of separation anxiety. But Lauren was fantastic. She regularly sent pictures/videos of our dog to keep us up to date and we felt like she was always a text a way if we needed anything. She walked our dog regularly as requested and kept her looking happy. Our house was in great condition as well when we got back. Would recommend Lauren to anyone needing a house/dog sitter and we will be booking her again next time we need.”
“Dominique completed his second house sit for my two pups (6 nights) and we continue to endorse him as a qualified / reliable sitter! Communication again proved to be consistent. Water bowls were full and my house was just how I left it. My large dogs are prone to acting out if they do not get enough attention (especially over long periods). It was great coming home and not seeing any indication of unsatisfied pups. Fully recommend!”

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 Okauchee 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 Okauchee 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 Okauchee 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!

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 .

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.
