“Kaylee was extremely attentive and patient with my 4 babies. She knew one was timid and worked with him patiently to earn his trust. Halfway through her time with him, she earned his trust and both myself and her were very happy. My older dog did have a little mishap, and she kept me up to date with how he was doing. Her checking in on him and keeping me updated, assured me I made the right choice for my babies. I'll be using Kaylee in the future. She's attentive, sweet, and truly cares about the well being of my babies. This was my first time using Rover since moving to the state/area, and she made it the best experience ever. I'm beyond grateful for her. Thank you so much for taking care of my babies.”
“Brittany is great… she took such good care of our babies… sent pictures and updates every day… very professional and responsible… we will keep using her for all of our sitting needs!”
“Sandy took such great care of our furbabies! She made sure to send pictures and let me know how they were doing every time she stopped by. Thank you so much Sandy! Also, thanks for the adorable gifts!!!”
“We have 2 very different dogs and Marisa has won the heart of them both! We loved meeting her before finalizing her first visit and her reassurance that she will love our girls as her own. She is a wonderful communicator, and the first visits went very well. She gave us great updates and pictures and I felt very reassured with her there. Will be booking with her again!!!”
“Dan was fabulous with our cats while we were out of the country for over a week. The photos and updates put us at ease. We’ll definitely be contacting Dan next time we need cat care!”
“Heidi was great with our cat Sarge while we were away! I was confident he was in good hands. She helped administer his medications too and he was very happy all around when we got home. We will definitely rebook with her next time we go on a trip!”
About: I have taken care of dogs, cats and birds since I was 12 years old. Neighbors, friends and family relied on me to walk and feed their pets. I also worked for a veterinarian for about 2 years and I am currently going to school to become a veterinary technician. I have a 1 1/2-year-old dog that I am currently training her to be a therapy dog. I am available 7 days a week while working full-time Monday thru Friday. I’ll be able to pet sit in your home. Check out my calendar to see what days I’m not currently booked. In my clients' homes, I give the animals all of my attention and follow any special directions the client leaves for me. I am a firm believer in leaving things better than how I found them, so I am always sure to clean up, lock up, use common sense, and follow proper & appropriate protocol and instruction.
About: Hi! I’m Kassie. I’ve always loved animals and have spent years caring for pets of my own, as well as helping family and friends with theirs. I recently worked as a Client Service Representative at a veterinary clinic, where I spent every day interacting with dogs, cats, and their owners. That experience strengthened my understanding of animal behavior, the importance of routine, and how to help pets feel comfortable in unfamiliar situations. I also have experience maintaining aquariums, so if you have fish, I’d be happy to care for them too. I’m comfortable feeding fish, checking equipment, top off water if requested, perform basic maintenance according to your instructions, and helping keep aquatic pets healthy while you’re away. At home, I have two spoiled cats who mean the world to me, so I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pets with someone else. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, aquarium care, or medication exactly as you’ve instructed, I’ll care for them with patience, kindness, and the same attention I’d give my own pets. I’m currently available on short notice and have a flexible schedule, so I’m happy to help with last-minute bookings whenever I can. I’ll also send regular updates and photos, so you can relax knowing your pets are happy, safe, and well cared for. I’m currently available with a flexible schedule, so I can often accommodate weekday, evening, weekend, and even last-minute bookings. Pet care easily fits into my routine, and I enjoy making sure every pet gets the time, attention, and consistency they deserve. Whether it’s a quick drop-in visit or a longer stay, I’ll make sure your pets are well cared for while you’re away. I know every pet has their own routine, so I always do my best to keep things as consistent as possible while you’re away. I’ll follow your instructions closely, whether that’s feeding schedules, medications, walks, litter box care, playtime, or aquarium maintenance. I’ll respect your home, keep you updated with messages and photos, and treat your pets with the same patience and care I give my own.
“100% highly recommend Kristine for babysitting your pets! I have used Kristine for babysitting my cat on two separate occasions, and both times I was very, very happy with the care that she provided for my older kitty. She went above and beyond caring for my cat and for that I am extremely grateful! When I went on a short trip in August, Kristine did drop-in visits for my cat as well as my friend's cat who lives around the corner. She did a fantastic job with our pets, followed all of our detailed instructions, and was very respectful for our homes. I would absolutely use Kristine again for my pet-sitting needs. She's the best.”
About: I've been dog-sitting my friends' & neighbors' dogs for years now. Everything from Shih Tzus to Labs to Collies and Pit Bulls, I do well with all types of dogs! I love taking dogs for walks and playing fetch! (Also, I love cats! (I'm a Cat Mom of 4)). I'm currently pet-sitting full-time, so I have plenty of time to take care of your pet(s)! I keep my calendar up-to-date and respond promptly to requests, so feel free to reach out and ask! I am always respectful of my clients' homes & make sure I take the dogs out frequently to use the bathroom & for walks/play, that litter boxes are cleaned, & that there is always fresh water/food given.
About: I used to foster animals, and I am an animal/ wildlife photographer In my spare time. I grew up with animals and love hanging out with them. I am currently working part time and have extra days to care for your pets :) I love animals - I am a wildlife/ animal photographer in my spare time. I have a lot of grassy area and walking space to take dogs out and a cozy environment for your animals to relax in while visiting.
About: I have had dogs my whole life, have helped train family pets, and am certified as a Comfort Dog handler. I have watched dogs from the wee size of a Chihuahua to big fluffy Newfoundlands. I love using patience and kindness to ensure your pups safety and well-being. I agrew up with the high energy of Border Collies, both young and older. I have dogsat at someone's house up to 5 dogs at a time, with varying food needs and medications. I try my best to be flexible and up for anything you need to ensure your furry friend is taken care of the same way I would care for my own. From walks, to watching them in my home, I am here to help you remain confident in your dog's care. For boarding, I do have two dogs that live in residence and would be available for a meet and greet prior to booking. I work a hybrid schedule, so some days I am fully working from home and other days I am in the office and usually pop home in the early afternoon to let my dogs out and finish the day working from home. Dogs get fed before I start work and dinner when I finish. If I work from home I usually take a break outside at some point to play with the pups and after work we can do walks or dog park or hanging out in the yard. I have a fenced yard and two other pups in the home who are relatively chill. Dogs are allowed on the furniture and get lots of snuggles. My own dogs are crate-trained but rarely use them. They are often left on the living room couch when I leave, with a baby gate keeping them in. Can use crates if needed, I own a size small and a size large. My dogs are 25 and 12 pounds. The smaller of the two is a rescue and is extremely chill and friendly to all other dogs. The bigger dog can be sensitive with other dogs sniffing his butt but the most he does is bark at them to move away. He usually minds his own space and doesn't play with other dogs much but also doesn't bother them.
“Jahaira is super on top of everything and makes travel easy - so glad to have found her! She has watched our guinea pigs multiple times and goes above and beyond to make sure they are happy & healthy. Would highly recommend to anyone who wants to rest assured that their pets are in caring hands.”
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life—from small cats to large energetic dogs, and everything in between! With over 15 years of hands-on experience, I’ve cared for pets of all sizes, temperaments, and ages. Whether I’m walking a high-energy pup, providing gentle care to a senior dog, or spending quiet playtime with a shy cat, I tailor my care to each pet’s needs. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I currently work a flexible schedule as a licensed esthetician and certified laser technician, which allows me to offer availability for pet care throughout the week. I am available for early morning walks and drop-in visits, evening care, overnight stays, and weekend bookings. On days when I don't have appointments scheduled, I often have additional daytime availability as well. I enjoy staying active and spending time with animals, so whether your pet needs a quick potty break, a long walk, playtime, feeding, or overnight companionship, I'm happy to accommodate their routine and provide reliable, attentive care. I care for pets in my home, which is set up to be safe, comfortable, and welcoming. I have a fully fenced yard for secure outdoor time and a spacious downstairs area perfect for crates or quiet time when needed. Pets are welcome throughout the house and treated like part of the family. Whether they love to cuddle on the couch or need their own space, I tailor the environment to fit each pet’s personality and routine. Cleanliness, supervision, and safety are my top priorities—and of course, lots of love and attention!
“Hannah was professional and responsive throughout the visits for our plethora of cats. She successfully navigated a power outage at our home and took the initiative to fill water bowls after their bubbler lost power. She communicated throughout the visit and did a great job, our cats were in good hands!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Racine
It is such a relief and peace of mind knowing Kaylee is looking after Chip. It’s clear from the pictures she sends Chip loves her more than me, but that’s totally fine by me because I know he’s being looked after and in good hands while I’m gone. For someone who travels a lot for work or at all…she’s a godsend.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Racine is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $33 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 2,105 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 .
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.

- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 95% 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.
