âKendra 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.â

âMy 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.â

âLoved Alex so much! I have an anxious little lady and the minute Alex walked in Soph laid on the floor and wanted tummy rubs. She had a very calming presence which was so comforting knowing she would be in good hands. She was so easy to communicate with and kept us updated while we were gone. Would love to use her again â¤ď¸â
âRandy 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!â

âEllen did a great job watching our dogs for 5 nights, one of which has sever separation anxiety. She sent daily updates and pictures, which really helped us enjoy our vacation knowing the dogs were happy. She also took great care of the house. She went above and beyond keeping the house picked up and sheets washed. Would highly recommend Ellen to anyone looking for a pet sitter.â

I have a lot of weekend availability, and I can be home by 4 pm weekdays when I work as a substitute teacher. I enjoy being at home and would love to have a furry friend to hang out with when you need help. I have a big yard in a very walkable neighborhood and live near some nice trails. I have an invisible fence with collar that I could use or not, your preference. My home is cozy inside.

âMegan was wonderful! She spent a lot of time with our girls and showered them with affection. We received many photos and videos of them playing and relaxing outside, which ensured us they were doing fine. She even vacuumed and picked up before she left. Would definitely schedule with her again and highly recommend her.â

âThe best experience ever. My precious pup just instantly loved her. She played with him and loved on him. She was prompt and just a very kind person. She even brought him special treats! I will use her again!â


About: Iâm a caring, patient, and responsible pet lover who understands that pets are part of the family. I know how important it is to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while youâre away. Iâm happy to follow your petâs usual routine, provide plenty of attention and playtime, and keep you updated with photos and messages. Iâll treat your pet with the same care and respect Iâd want someone to give my own. I maintain a consistent weekly routine and value being dependable and organized. I work full-time during the week, but I plan my time carefully to make sure I can give pets the attention, exercise, and care they need. Iâm happy to accommodate morning and evening walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and weekend care based on my availability. I understand that pets thrive on consistency, so I do my best to stick to their normal routines and keep owners updated while theyâre away. Your petâs safety, comfort, and well-being are my top priorities. I take the time to understand each petâs personality, routine, dietary needs, and any special instructions before providing care. Iâm attentive, patient, and responsible, and I make sure pets are supervised appropriately and kept in a safe environment. In a clientâs home, I respect their space and follow all care instructions carefully. Iâm happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is in good hands. Iâll treat your home with respect and care for your pet as if they were my own.
âFatima was amazing to work with. I booked her on short notice before the holiday when my original plans fell through. She offered and made it a priority to come do a meet & greet on days notice. Iâm always a little nervous when using a new sitter especially when they stay at mine, but my mind was at ease immediately when I met her. I could tell she has a big heart and really cares for animals. She followed all instructions and she went above and beyond spending time with Diesel doing his favorite activities (walks, playing fetch, swimming, etc.). She was incredibly communicative and sent a lot of pictures and videos which was much appreciated. As a former Rover sitter and a frequent user of Roverâs services, I can confidently say that Fatima is one of the best sitters Iâve come across. I will definitely be using her in the future and have already recommended her to others looking for sitters. Thank you Fatima!!!â

âStepen and Amelie took great care of our 1 year old dog and our home. They took our dog on multiple walks, played with him and made sure he was comfortable. They were great about keeping us up to date with pictures, videos and messages about how our dog was doing. We came home to a detailed list of what our dog did each day, how much he ate, when he used the bathroom and when he slept. We were very impressed and would recommend Stephen and Amelie.â


âJosie was such a thoughtful and caring caregiver for our puppy. She made sure to provide updates and lots of pictures and was very responsive. Could not recommend her enough! đâ

âLeora stayed at our house for a week to watch our dog while we were out of town and she was amazing! She provided regular updates and took great care of our dog - even including taking her to the vet and taking great care of her when she was sick. Our house was very tidy when we got home and our dog was happy! Thanks, Leora!â

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Okauchee is $33 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 and $39 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 petâs 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 November 2026, there are 1,189 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Okauchee. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitterâs 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 homeâs security or appliances.
Itâs 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 theyâll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your petâs 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 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!
The Rover Guarantee is Roverâs 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 Justiceâs 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 sitterâs 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, youâll 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.

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.
