“Laura was great and our cats loved her. We really enjoyed the daily updates and pictures of our two fellas. We felt very secure that they were in good hands. We will definitely request her in the future.”
“Rhonda was the best.I was worried at first because we had someone else watch them last year and it didnt go well, so I was hesitant to do it again. From the first time she met my kitties I knew this was going to go well. They were smelling her and rubbing themselves on her. I knew if they felt safe enough to show themselves like that then I was comfortable. The next time they met her it was the same. Any worries I had went out the door. While we were away she provided photos and videos, I could tell my kitties were happy. I highly recommend Rhonda to everyone. I am greatful for how well she took care of them like her own. Thank you so much.”
About: Hello! I’m an animal lover who recently moved to La Crosse, and one thing I’ve really missed since moving to the city is being around animals. I grew up on a farm surrounded by all kinds of animals, so caring for pets has always been a natural and rewarding part of my life. While I’m new to professional dog walking and pet sitting through Rover, I’m definitely not new to the responsibility, patience, and attention that animals require. I’m reliable, responsible, and love spending time with pets. I also have experience caring for friend and family pets. I enjoy being outdoors, going for walks, and giving animals plenty of exercise, affection, and attention. I also have a flexible work schedule, which allows me to be accommodating to your pet’s routine and needs. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities, and I’ll treat them with the same care and attention I would give my own. I’d love the opportunity to meet your furry friend, get to know their personality, and become someone you can feel completely comfortable trusting with their care :) I am a Communications Specialist that works remote, so I am flexible when it comes to your pet's schedule and needs. I can accommodate pet sitting while I work from home, and I can also adjust my schedule for check-ins or walks. I live in a pet-friendly apartment that has a secured dog area outside. I also live around quiet and nature-filled walking trails. Depending on your pet's comfortability, I am able to adjust the environment to meet their needs. :)
About: I have a large extended family and I have been everybody's go to pet sitter since I was in highschool. I especially fell in love with animal care when I stayed with my aunt's elderly cat for 4 months. He had such personality and required special medicine. I often took care of my employer's dog and bunny when she was out of town. More recently I have begun to watch friends dogs and cats or run to their homes for emergency potty breaks when they've gotten stuck at work. My schedule is limited because I work in retail full time. My schedule is not the same every day. I typically work 9 to 5:30, but some days may deviate. If your animal is unable to be left alone for at least 4 hours at a time, I may not be the best fit for you. I am unable to provide care in my home as I live in a small apartment. I can take care of all your pets needs in your home and am happy to follow any directions and special requests.
About: I have worked at a doggy daycare and boarding facility for the last 3 years and can administer medication as well as keep you updated in full detail about your pet I work 33 hours a week with a pretty flexible life schedule. I have plenty of time to make sure your pet is well taken care of; walked, fed, medicated or cuddled! Abide by all the clients preference: crates, muzzles, collar or harness and dog/people-dog interaction, etc. All pets will be taken care of in the owners home, as my dog is pet selective-to be accommodating to all pets involved and make your pet as comfy as possible!
About: Hi, my name is Megan. I have been volunteering at my local Humane Society, for over 2 years, so I’ve had lots of experience with so many different breeds of dogs! I enjoy all types of animals. Potty breaks I know are important along with tons of play time. I am able to learn/ adapt to your pets needs! All animals are wonderful in my eyes! Lots of pets and scratches, and belly rubs also included! I personally would love to be able to watch your pets. It’s my dream job I’d say! I’m very laidback, and have a calm personality . Also I’ll treat your pet as I would my very own. I work part time! So most days I am available to walk or watch your animals! Just message me to talk more about how I can care for your animal(s)! I would do anything for my animals. There is a fenced in big back yard! My 2 dogs love it. I keep my two dogs as healthy as possible! I love them like family.
“Ella responded quickly to my service request and set up the meet and greet so we could connect on the details of Maisy care. I appreciated Ella’s confidence about caring for Maisy, she asked questions to be sure she understood the details I was sharing. I will be reaching out again when I need Maisy care!”
“Karlie went above what we asked of her. She treated our girls like they were her own. She loved and took amazing care of them. I will gladly have Karlie take care of my girls again. Like i said you are amazing”
About: I’ve had my own dogs my whole life that I have cared for! I started walking neighbors dogs when I was about 10, and have done it on and off ever since (while always walking my own dogs ofc:)! I currently am a college student, and am a nanny a few days a week! Looking to care for some dogs/pets as another activity to keep me busy and active! I care for all animals as my own! Safety when I’m pet sitting is the same as when I am nannying: always my first priority!
About: Lifetime dog and cat dad. Big, small, old and ornery I've lived with them. Can handle gently or stern when needed. Experience giving meds and reaction training I work part time so I'm available weekdays and some weekends. My only limit is I need to be home for my daughter's bedtime at 8PM. With any animal it's all about trust. I don't ever assume they'll be comfortable with me, so I start slow and build that trust at their pace.
About: I'm someone who treats every pet like my own! I've taken care of my childhood dog and cats since I was very young, as well as my extended family and friend's animals. I consider myself dependable and patient, and I love giving pets plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and cuddles. I'm comfortable caring for all ages and personalities, and I'm happy to follow each pet's specific routine and needs. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, loved, and spoiled while you're away! Pet care fits naturally into my schedule because I enjoy being active and spending time with animals. I'm in my last semester of college and have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time for walks, playtime, feeding, and cuddles. My main focus is to keep your pet comfortable, safe, and on their normal routine. I'll follow any feeding, walking, medication, or care instructions you provide. I also want you to feel comfortable while you're away, so I'm happy to send updates and pictures so you know your pet is happy and well cared for!
About: I have worked with animals off and on my whole life. I’ve had four dogs growing up including my current dog. I do have experience with epilepsy since my current dog does have it. I can also help with basic training such as walking nicely on a leash. I am currently trying to find a new career so working with doggos in the meantime will help me in that journey. I am open for walks or checks in during the week, but can only do stayovers on the weekends. I unfortunately can not have pets at my current residence as it is my parents, but I am more than willing to multiple stops or even overnights for your pets. I will love and care for them as if they’re my own.
“Kiana was amazing during her drop in visits with our cats. She was able to get them to play and eat treats. She kept the litter boxes clean and the kitties happy. She even watered my plants! Kiana is a great communicator and I will definitely be using her again!”
About: Love all fur babies. Have been taken care of all sorts of critters since I was little. Love all shapes and sizes. Excited to start babysitting.

We have a nice big fenced in back yard and theee dogs and two cats that love to play. We love playing fetch and have lots of toys.
“Ashlyn was very affectionate with our pet. Even though it was the first time with her our kitty seemed relaxed and comfortable during Ashyln’s drop in visits. We received detailed updates along with pictures that made me feel connected with our pet even though we were far away. Meeting Ashlyn the first time for the meet and greet itself felt good and made me feel confident that our cat would be well cared for. We are so happy to have Ashlyn care for our cat and wouldn’t hesitate to hire Ashlyn again!”
About: I have around 10 years of experience with dog sitting and dog walking! I am comfortable sitting and walking both small and large dogs, and am happy to do longer term overnight stays if needed as well. I’m excited to spend time with your furry friend! I am currently working part time, and my schedule is very flexible. I am available at most times during both the weekends and weekdays, and am comfortable with overnight stays as well. My yard is unfenced, but my neighborhood is very walkable. I have a cat at home who is very docile and friendly, and has lived with other animals before. I have an empty spare room that is usable for animals to stay overnight.
About: I have loved animals of all kinds and caring for them my whole life! Ranging from dogs of all breeds, cats, and even chickens! As a dog walker and pet sitter I will care for your pet like they are my own. I have 3 pups and 1 cat of my own. I have even had chickens for years! There isn’t a pet I wouldn’t feel comfortable watching. As a stay at home mom I have a completely open schedule and would love to help you whether that be daily walks with your furry friends, drops in for play time and snuggles, or even watching them at our home if you need some time away! I am comfortable administering medications and working on any commands you prefer while walking and dropping in.

I was so worried to leave on vacation because I wanted to make sure my 3 cats were taken care of. From the moment I met Christine I knew I was in good hands!! She treated my cats like her own fur babies. Each morning I received numerous pictures and she left a summary about the visit. I smiled every morning :) I highly suggest Christine to everyone! I would give her a A++++++ rating all across the board! Thank You so much Christine for everything! It was a great peace of mind knowing u were there when I couldnt be! I appreciate u more then u know! You made this whole process easier for me! I loved how quick of a response I would get from you when I reached out with a question! I dont travel much, but even if i do a weekend getaway I know who I will reach out to!!!! Thanks again! 🩷🩷🩷
Emily was so wonderful. She took the time to play with our two cats and I could tell by the pictures they got very comfortable with her and were eager for her to get there. My cat Shadow needs medication 2 times a day and she was great giving it to him along with his other spoiled needs that he has. Stormy is usually shy at first but warmed up to Emily fairly quickly. I really appreciated the time she spent with them and gave them attention while we were away.
Zaliana did a fantastic job taking care of our fur babies. We have a giant great Dane who can be a lot to handle but she did it with no problem. Our cat enjoyed his snuggle time. She was right on time and very communicative. I will definitely be hiring her again.
Sara was amazing. She was on schedule which was important for my Shadow’s medication. She also left me notes and pictures on how my cats were doing and gave them some love that they so appreciated. I really appreciated her taking the time to take care of my fur babies.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Onalaska is $27 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $28 per visit. 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 November 2026, there are 233 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Onalaska. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Onalaska. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
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.
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.
