“This was a 1st time experience for me, leaving a puppy, in a new environment. Matt exceeded my expectations! It was comforting to know my Quin was being so well taken care of. From the get go they connected and it was heartwarming to see how adaptable she was. I couldn’t be more pleased!”
“Hannah was great with my Benny Boy! I was able to book her to stay with him on short notice and she sent adorable photos to ease my mind with his first “stranger” sitter. Definitely will book with Hannah again!”
“Patricia is one of the kindest and considerate sitters I have booked on Rover. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a kind soul to care for your pets and will most definitely be booking future stays with her.”

“Aro was absolutely fantastic with our babies while we were gone on vacation. They sent us updates all the time and were very good about following our instructions. They even transported our pups to daycare after the stay was over which was very much appreciated. I would recommend Aro to anyone in need of pet care and we will definitely be using them in the future.”
“Alexandra is the best! I would 100% recommend her to anyone to take care of your fur babies! She takes photos and is in complete contact with you every day. My dogs loved her! She is very respectful of your house, and I was very happy with how clean it was when I returned.”
“Kyler is reliable, trustworthy, kind and loving. Normally, when we leave our pups behind to go out of town, there is a major sense of anxiety. When Kyler house and dog sat for us, we were at peace knowing they were in good hands. When we got home, we couldn’t even tell she had been at the house for 4 days. It was just as we left it and the dogs were happy. Thank you, Kyler!”
“Evelina was the best! I wouldn’t want to hire anyone else to watch our pups. She has great communication and gives the dogs love that they deserve!! HIGHLY recommend!! She treats your pets just like they’re her own. 🤍”
“Ashley was so wonderful and took such great care of my boy and my home. I felt so at ease knowing that he was in good hands. Her communication was great and I would definitely use her again!”
“Daniel was amazing! Our girl Arya loved him and I felt so happy that there was someone there while I was gone that loved her as much as we do. He was always responsive and sent updates and pictures each day. He was really adaptable to her changing energy levels and made sure she was engaged! She can play rough sometimes and will use all 50lbs to her advantage and I felt safe knowing she was in good hands! He even tidied up our space while here, which was an unexpectedly thoughtful gesture. Absolutely recommend!”
“Hunter was great! This was our first time with Hunter for 6 days and it was so reassuring to have him with our pup. He was responsive and sent updates with daily pics even when we were out of service. The house was spotless when we came home too. We will definitely be recurring customers.”
“Amber was phenomenal. Left our house cleaner than she found it and cared so much for our girls. The photos she sent warmed our hearts and truly couldn’t ask for more in a house and pet sitter. Thank you so much!”
“Maja does a wonderful job! We would strongly recommend her. She has watched our two pups, one has pretty high needs. She is attentive, professional, and a very good communicator. Easy to work with, will hire again!”
“So happy with Katy. Katy was on time respectful and accommodating. She took good care of our two cats for 6 days and 5 nights. Lots of pictures and play time. She was very patient and let them come to her in their time. The house was clean, bed clothes and towels washed. She even made the bed so when we got home in the evening we didn’t have to do anything but go to bed. After Katy left the shy cat walked around the corner and looked down the stairs for her. Katy left a lasting impression on all. Katy gave us the peace of mind we needed to enjoy our trip. So glad we found her and will definitely book her again in the future. Thanks again Katy.”
“Sky was amazing with my dogs. She took such good care of them sent me photo's every day. I really feel that she cared for my babies like they were her own. I would highly, highly recommend Skyler for your pet sitting needs.”

About: I walk, feed, bathe, play, and always give pups lots of attention! Dogs are my favorite and I always enjoy making new dog friends. I enjoy every little thing I get to do with dogs. I don’t work many hours during the week. I am available most days of the week so I am always able to watch dogs when needed. I am home every night so I can watch them overnight. I have a very friendly puppy who loves other dogs and can be around multiple dogs. I always make sure that anyones dog is in a safe environment. I hardly ever leave them unattended and unsupervised. We go for walks very often when it is nice out. I take my puppy outside to go potty at least once an hour if not more. I always make sure everyone is fed and happy.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Platteville
Kim was fantastic! She showed up exactly when I asked her to and stayed to the latest time I inputted it as well. Kept me updated with pictures and reassurance text our entire weekend. Even went above and beyond when one of our three dogs nipped her accidentally by being understanding and continuing her care for our dogs. Highly recommend using Kim - can’t thank her enough for her support during an important race weekend for us!
Kim has been incredible with my dogs. She pet sat them at my house for over 10 days while I was away on a trip. One of my dogs requires special feeding and care, and she followed instructions very well. She was respectful of my home and sent me regular updates. I could tell my dogs were very comfortable with her, which gave me peace of mind. I can’t recommend her enough!

FAQs for House Sitting - Platteville
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 6,359 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Platteville. 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 Platteville 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 Platteville 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 Platteville 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 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 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.
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 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.

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.
