About: I've had dogs all my life. Shelties Schnauzers, Suberian Huskies, German Shepherds, Yorkies and now beagles. I deeply love them all. I worked several years as a veterinary technician for a large and small animal clinic in the 1980s until life took me in a different direction. I currently live on our small family farm. I have a fenced back yard for your baby to play in. And there is a lot going on to entertain them. I'm retired and home all day if I'm hosting your fur baby. I would love to meet your furry kids and help them have the best time either here or in your home. I'm retired and if your fur baby is staying with me, I'll be here with them the whole stay. If I'm dropping in for a play and potty session, I'll give them all of my attention and an enjoyable session. I have a fenced yard and 2 friendly beagles to play with your pup. I can crate if you like, or if they're house trained, they can have the run of the house with my beagles.
“Lucy was great to watch my Jango last minute for the weekend of my wedding! I knew he was in good hands when she was giving me constant updates and pictures. Very communicative and my boy was happy being with her too!”
About: I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their family is away. I take the time to learn each pet's unique personality, routine, and needs so I can provide attentive, personalized care. Whether your pet loves playtime, long walks, cuddles, or simply having someone nearby, I want them to feel happy and at ease. I understand how important pets are to their families, and I will treat your furry family members with the same kindness, patience, and respect I would want for my own. I offer drop-in visits and house sitting, which can include feeding, refreshing water, potty breaks, walks when appropriate, playtime, companionship, and cleaning up after your pet. I am happy to follow your instructions and your pet's usual routine to help keep their day as normal and stress-free as possible. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a quiet environment and gentle affection, I will do my best to make them feel comfortable and cared for. I have been caring for pets including my own for over 5 years now. I strive to provide dependable, attentive care while making sure each pet receives the time and attention they deserve. I plan my schedule around my radiography school and PRN job so I can be reliable and consistent with visits, walks, feeding times, and other care needs. I am happy to discuss your pet's routine ahead of time to make sure we are a good fit and to help keep their day as comfortable and stress-free as possible. I will be able to spend multiple hours in the afternoon and drop in at least once in the morning during the week before school. Your pet's safety and comfort will always be a priority. I will carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding, exercise, medications if applicable, household rules, and any special needs your pet may have. I will take the time to learn about your pet's behavior, routines, and any potential concerns before providing care. I respect your home and your privacy, keep pets in safe and appropriate environments, and communicate with you about how things are going. I want you to feel confident and at ease knowing your pet is being cared for with patience, kindness, and responsibility.

“Tausha previously came for a meet and greet. We really like her knowledge and love of animals. She's easy going and has a calming presence. This visit I booked her to come over so that I could show her the routine for our animals before she actually stays. My dogs seem very comfortable with her and I feel confident leaving them in her care.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Racine is $13 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $13 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 130 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Racine. 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 Racine. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
