“Laura is the sweetest! I loved all the updates she gave me while I was away. My kitty who is on the shy side warmed up to her almost right away. I will definitely be requesting Laura in the future.”

About: Lifelong pet owner and animal lover. I have cared for and loved animals of all shapes, sizes, and personalities, and I am confident I can make your pet feel at home. I have prior experience watching everything from tiny Chihuahuas to 90 lbs German Shepherds. I am also highly experienced with anxious or nervous dogs and know how to give them the space and one-on-one time they need to warm up. I own a friendly, medium-sized dog named Raven who loves meeting new friends once they feel settled. To give you peace of mind, I send plenty of photo and video updates throughout your pet's stay so you can see exactly how much fun they are having! 😊 I work at an office in Winona from 6:30am–4:30pm Monday through Thursday. I work every other weekend (Friday through Sunday), meaning I am completely free for pet care on my alternating off-weekends. I am happy to provide extended boarding starting on my available weekends and lasting until the following Thursday. Please note that during the workweek (Monday through Thursday), I am away at the office all day, so your pet would need to be comfortable being left alone during my working hours. I do have a teenager that when home from school during the week can provide potty breaks. I recently moved into my own house on French Island, and my grandmother lives just a couple of blocks away. We have access to her fully fenced yard, and there is also a park about a block away from my house as well as many other open spaces to play. I will walk and feed your dog to your instructions and maintain their routine while staying under our care. I have experience watching a lot of anxious dogs, and every single one has warmed up eventually especially when they get one on one time the first 30–60 mins of their stay. It’s important to me that they are comfortable before introducing my pup Raven because new environments can be scary.

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.

About: I've had the honors of taking care of cats and dogs since I was 11 years old. I love animal sitting for my friends while they go on short get aways, or whether they just need another friendly human companion. I love animals so dearly and now own 3 cats. I hope to soon expand my fur baby count to 4 including a dog! I'm currently going to school part time so I'm unavailable mondays after 4:30 p.m., Thursdays 8:30 a.m. until 12 p.m., and am also unavailable fridays 8 a.m. until 11 a.m. Otherwise my schedule is pretty open! I'd prefer to animal sit in the owner's house but if needed, I have an open yard near the end of a culdesac. Theres one fence on the back lot of the yard, otherwise it's pretty open. I live nearby a few parks and trails where they'd be able to run, enjoy smells and feel free.

About: I have taken care of dogs of all stages over the years and I am equipped to care for animals of every age. Most recently my dogs have entered senior status so I have lots of experience providing the care they need, but I am experienced with caring for puppies and adolescent animals as well. I am a student at UWL so I have a fairly flexible schedule. During the week my schedule varies with my class schedule but Thursday through Sunday I am most available, which is perfect for weekends away! I am unable to house animals in my home due to my landlord not allowing pets, so I will treat your animals and your home in a safe and respectful manner. I have pet-sat and babysat numerous times so I am a trustworthy and reliable source that will treat your pets with the care they need and deserve!

About: I specialize in hiking and outdoor adventures, but am more than capable of normal walks as well. I also take my own dog hiking every weekend, so I know the local trails well. I have experience working with shelter dogs, anxious dogs, reactive dogs, big dogs, senior dogs, and small dogs. My experiences with various dogs and trainers have given me a good understanding of dog body language. Under the guidance of licensed trainers I have worked through separation anxiety and fear-based reactivity with my own dog, and resource guarding with a family-owned dog. So rest assured that if I'm told a dog has any fears or triggers to avoid while on walks, I will take that seriously. I am comfortable with large dogs, even large dogs that pull. I am capable of giving dogs' medications as my own dog is on several for orthopedic surgical recovery, so I have quite a bit of experience doing so. For outdoor adventures, I have done various trail hiking with family-owned dogs, rescue dogs, and my own personal dog. In addition, I have taken several small dogs out boating. I have hiked parts of the Appalachian Trail and Superior Trail, spent weeks camping, and done countless outdoor adventures. I hike rain or shine! Choosing me you can be sure your canine companion will have a safe, fun, enriching experience in the outdoors. I'm currently in college so I am available after class which is most days after 12pm. After 2pm I am available for long hikes and walks. In addition, I take my dog on a 30 to 40 min walk at 5pm and available to take additional dogs with us. I take safety with the utmost seriousness. When going on hiking trails I ensure that I bring a pet first aid kit with me, collapsible water, and a spare leash for emergencies. I also have a vet hotline on speed dial as well as two local vets saved in my phone. In addition if we are traveling anywhere by car I will ensure the dog is safely transported as I own a variety of dog seat belts and car seats.

About: I’ve been housesitting and petsitting family and friend’s animals for about 10 years now and would love to assist in making sure your pets are well taken care of while you’re gone :) I’m currently working part time throughout the week, therefore my schedule is open and available 7 days per week to assist in any way I can.

About: I have over 13 years of hands on experience caring for dogs, from raising puppies into adulthood to understanding how their needs change throughout different stages of life. I’ve learned how important it is for dogs to have healthy outlets for their energy, plenty of attention, patience, exercise, and a routine that helps them feel happy and cared for. I currently have a dog of my own, Reese, who I love taking on walks and runs, as well as three cats with their own unique personalities. Having both dogs and cats has given me experience understanding the very different ways animals communicate, build trust, and show what they need. I’m comfortable caring for puppies, adult dogs, high-energy dogs, and pets who may still be learning their manners or training. I believe every animal deserves patience and the opportunity to feel safe, appreciated, and understood. Whether your pet needs an energetic walk, playtime, companionship, or simply some extra love and attention while you’re away, I want to provide the same level of care I would want for my own animals. 🐾 With a flexible part-time schedule and a love for walking my own dog on the daily, I enjoy sharing fun, fulfilling walks with other dogs too. I’ve always been an animal lover and happiest when I’m spending time outside! I have a dog of my own, Reese, who I love taking on walks, runs, and little adventures, along with three cats who each have completely different personalities. Growing up around animals has taught me that every pet is different and deserves patience, attention, affection, and plenty of time to just be themselves. I love getting to know each animal’s personality and finding what makes them happiest—whether that’s an energetic walk, some playtime, exploring outside, or simply having someone there to give them attention. I’m also completely comfortable with puppies, high-energy dogs, and dogs who may still be working on their training or manners. I believe they deserve just as much patience and care while they’re learning! My goal is to give your pet a fun, positive experience while making sure they’re safe, cared for, and getting the attention they deserve. 🐾

About: I used to work at a doggy daycare and I worked with horses for about a year, so nothing scares me. I fostered a dog for a year until she found her forever home and now I have my own rescue. She is my whole world. I will treat your furbabies like my own because I know they are your whole world too. I work 2 part-time jobs with a lot of availibility/flexibilty. I typically work either midday or evening, but it changes daily. I would work well with a flexible schedule. We would go for many walks during the day. My dog loves to play so they can tire each other out. If comfortable with other dogs, we could visit the dog park.

Faith was amazing! I can’t wait only hope she’ll say yes again. My youngest dog had some stomach/bowel issues this week while I was away in Greece. She was such a champion cleaning the kennel multiple times as well as washing the blankets and cleaning the carpets. She ran a stool sample to the vet for me after her real job and then went home to make chicken and rice for my dog for the next few days. I am so grateful that she was with them this week. She was very communicative, sent very detailed reports and of course captured pictures always. Your dogs will be in great hands should you choose Faith.

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.

Olivia was amazing. She took care of my 2 cats and made sure that Stormy, who is a bit shy ate every day even if it meant feeding him in weird spots. She gave Sunny plenty of attention! And towards the end I think even Stormy loved her!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Onalaska

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Onalaska is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 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 October 2026, there are 232 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 .

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.

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
  • 90% 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 .

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.
