About: I’ve grown up around dogs and currently have three of my own, so caring for them is a big part of my everyday life. Over the years, I’ve pet sat for neighbors, friends, and family, caring for dogs of all ages, breeds, and personalities. I truly love animals and can’t imagine my life without them. Whether your pup loves to play, go on walks, or just relax and cuddle, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I treat every pet as if they were my own because I know they’re family. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine because I’m self-employed, which gives me a very flexible schedule. This allows me to plan my day around the pets I’m caring for and provide them with the attention, potty breaks, walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship they need. When caring for pets in their own home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal as possible because I know that helps them feel comfortable and secure. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications (if needed), potty breaks, and any special preferences. I treat every home with the utmost respect by keeping it clean, locking doors, and making sure your pet is always safe and supervised. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is to provide loving, reliable care while making your pet feel happy, safe, and at home.

About: I’ve had several family dogs growing up which jumpstarted my passion and love for animals. Over a year ago I adopted my own dog from a local shelter(it was the best decision I have ever made)! Throughout high school I would pick up dog sitting gigs, where I would watch after the house and tend to the pets needs, providing love and enrichment. Im very flexible with my schedule and would love to help a fellow pet parent out! I currently am enrolled in college, and finish classes in the early afternoon and will be working a part-time job at the university. With this being said it will leave me with plenty time for your fur babies! I live in an apartment with a dog park where your furry friend is always welcome! I also have a very friendly rescue pup of my own, and she’s always looking for a new friend! Having a border collie mix, I know the importance of walks and frequent enrichment!

I currently have 3 furry family members, so I understand how important it is to find someone patient, dependable, and loving to care for your pets like family. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, giving lots of attention, and keeping pets on their normal routines. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, or needs extra patience, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away. I’d love the opportunity to help care for your pets! As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets lots of attention throughout the day. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, boarding, and playtime during most weekdays and weekends. Your pets will get plenty of love, care, and supervision while they’re with me. I treat every pet like part of the family and always make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I pay close attention to feeding schedules, potty breaks, exercise, and any special instructions from owners. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats, and I’ll provide a calm, loving environment where your pet can feel at home.

Chelsea was an amazing pet sitter! She sent pics and updates multiple times a day and contacted me to clarify anything she was not 100% sure of. I really appreciate that effort, rather than assuming things that could lead to negative outcomes. She was very kind, and my pets were extremely comfortable with her, which my Kitty can be VERY picky, and my dog Mac is very anxious. 10/10!

About: Hello, I'm Ryleigh, I'm 20 years old, I have 2 years of experience. I can help with nail trims and Pet Sitting. I love animals and I can't wait to work with your beautiful fur babies! I’m wanting to work with animals but find it better if I’m working alone. My passion has always been to work with dogs as I find it a struggle to work with people. I have 2 collies of my own so very high in energy. They require lots of play time so I’ll take them for walks or let them run around outside.

From the moment I meet Jessie, she made me feel confident that I had made the right decision to use Rover and choose her as our sitter. She stayed one week in my house and took excellent care of my three dogs. She was in contact with me every day sending pictures and updates. My dogs loved Jessie. She is a lovely young lady and very professional.

Hunter is THE BEST PETSITTER! We had stopped going out of town together and would just take trips separately because we could not find someone caring,reliable, and consistent to take care of our dogs. The last few sitters we tried were horrible and did not properly care for our dogs. Hunter went above and beyond. The dogs all loved him. The house was clean and the dogs were all happy and healthy and loved while we were gone.

About: I have owned pets my whole life, including domestic and wild pets. Dogs, cats, squirrels, coons and possums if they need me I take them in and give them what they need! Because I am single, semi retired and self-employed I am able to make my own schedule. I can be available seven days a week, 365 days a year! I have a 3 year-old blue heeler rescue male pup and 3 year old male rescue cat and they love each other. As of June 2026 I am under contract to sell my 10 acre glampground and have moved down the road to Jane, MO! BIggie is the glampground pup and interacts with all of the Airbnb guest pets with no problems whatsoever and they typically fall in love with him and bring him inside at night, although he prefers to have the run of the place outside all day and he won’t come in until he’s ready!!!

About: At every party, I go find the fur baby to hang out with. I have experience training puppies (nothing formal), adopting skittish strays, and my last dog lived to be 16! There is no mess, behavior, or age I am unwilling to work with. If your animal needs space, exercise or cuddles, I am your girl. I am available all times, any day of the week. My work is mostly remote with my own laptop and I make my own hours. Each pet is unique and I will work with you to make sure I can care for them as respectfully as possible. I believe in boundaries and consent and that extends to your home and your animals.

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities for over eight years, including puppies, seniors, and special-needs pets. Whether it’s high-energy walks, medication administration, or just lots of belly rubs and companionship, I treat every pet like my own. I’m patient, dependable, and always focused on your pet’s comfort and happiness. I also have experience with basic training and understand how to adapt to different behavioral needs. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I plan my days around walks, feeding times, and quality play or cuddle sessions. I’m flexible and prioritize consistency, making sure each pet receives the attention, care, and routine they’re used to—whether it’s early morning walks or evening check-ins. I treat every home and pet with the utmost respect. I follow your instructions closely, keep pets on their normal schedule, and ensure they feel safe and secure. Whether in your home or mine, I create a calm, pet-friendly environment, free from hazards and full of love and attention. Communication is key—I provide regular updates so you always feel connected and reassured.

Maykayla was a wonderful house sitter. The dogs were well-taken care of & seemed very fond of her. We returned to a clean house — taking care of any pet mess. She communicated often & well with me —sent pictures and videos of the dogs. I would recommend her to any pet owner searching for a kind & trustworthy house sitter.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have had them my whole life, so caring for them feels really natural to me. I love being outside, going on long walks, and spending time with animals. I’m very responsible and make sure pets are safe, exercised, and happy while their owners are away. I also enjoy learning each dog’s personality and routine so they feel comfortable. I’m currently saving money for college, so pet sitting is something I take seriously and put a lot of care into. I’m currently a senior in high school and my classes are only from 7:00–10:30 AM during the week, so I’m available late mornings, afternoons, evenings, and nights. I graduate in about two months, and after that I’ll be fully available all day and night on both weekdays and weekends. I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and understand how important it is for them to feel safe and comfortable. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely for feeding, walks, routines, and any special care. I make sure dogs get plenty of exercise, attention, and time outside while also keeping them safe and supervised. My goal is to make sure your pet feels happy and cared for while you’re away.

About: I’ve been taking care of pets since I was 5 and I’ve loved it ever since. I’ve had owned many dogs and cats. I’ve helped with pets of all ages, from tiny babies to sweet seniors. I’m going to school for animal behavior and care because animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I love making sure they’re happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. Right now, I am going to school online for my bachelors while working! Pet care is the perfect way for me to stay busy doing something I love while also helping people out. It fits into my routine really well right now because I have the time and flexibility, and it gives me experience for my future career with animals. It’s a win-win, I get to be around pets and give them the love and care they deserve while I’m in this in-between stage. When I’m caring for pets in someone’s home, I treat it like my own, with a lot of respect and care. I always follow your instructions closely because every pet has their own routine and comfort zone. I make sure they feel safe, loved, and relaxed while you’re away. Whether it’s sticking to their feeding schedule, giving meds, or just keeping them company, I focus on creating a calm and happy environment. I know how much trust it takes to let someone into your home, and I don’t take that lightly.

FAQs for House Sitting - Racine

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Racine on Rover is $29.42 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 68 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Racine. 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 Racine 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 Racine 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 Racine 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
