“Diana is a true animal lover. she is great with cats and dogs. She is reliable, consistent, and follows directions. I will continue to book her for future visits, and she’s already been in our home more than a half-dozen of our vacations.”
“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.”
“Cat was great and has a lot of understanding of dogs, which she used to give my guys such great service. Good notes, clear communication, excellent rapport with the pets.”
About: I am an active educator working with elementary aged students 10 months out of the year for the past sixteen years. However, I also have a special place in my heart for animals of all kinds. I have a particular interest and skillset working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments and have over 10 years of experience walking shelter dogs in my community. I have been passionate about dogs since I was a young girl, and when I finally got my own dog at the age of twelve, my desire to learn more about them and how to best care for them grew exponentially. Volunteering in the shelter environment, I have honed my skills in reading dog body language, creating safe walking environments, understanding and communicating health concerns, and handling boisterous, reactive, or fearful behaviors with calm kindness and care. Behavior is communication and I use my expertise as an educator to best care for and enrich the lives of the animals around me. I also adopted my own dog as adult from the humane society in 2018, who came with her own unique personality and behaviors such as reactivity, anxiety, dog reactivity, low confidence, and over-excitable drive. Throughout our eight years together, we have developed a strong bond and communication style that has brought her to achieving her Canine Good Citizen Certificate, and become a calm, confident, well-balanced dog. She also has learned how to communicate with me through augmentative and alternative communication buttons and express her personality in words I can understand which has been mind blowing! I love giving her the best life possible and I’m excited to support you and your furry friend along that journey as well during our time working together. I’m currently an educator who works full-time 10 months out of the year, but am available evenings and weekends. However, during the months of June and July I am available during the mornings, afternoons, or evenings and have a flexible schedule to accommodate you and your pet’s specific needs. I have a fenced in backyard with plenty of space to allow your dog time to run and play freely or just bask in the summer sunshine. My dog needs multiple, slow introductions to new dogs, so if you are in need of overnight care, additional meet and greet walks would be required to make sure they are a good fit together before any bookings.
“We love Brittany! She knows exactly what to do to care for our cat. She has a natural way with pets and treats our cat with the most extreme kindness and sensitivity. We highly recommend her!!”
“Marisa was the first person to watch my cat who wasn't family and WOW did she exceed my expectations. I had never used Rover before, so when I reached out seeing if she was willing to watch him, she even helped me in creating a profile to make sure I had all of the necessary information. Her daily check-ins with him were well communicated and she talked about their hang-outs and sent tons of pictures (which were great given how much I missed him.) All around, I would totally book with her again and would recommend her to anyone who needs a sitter. Thank you, Marisa!”
“Love the commentary and the pictures Carmen provides. My two are sassy and are constantly gathering their blankets or messing up their beds.... Carmen just fixes them at each visit like a pro.”
“DeeDee did very good with Sandy, which says a lot about Sandy. She allowed Sandy to pet her, and she sniffed Sandy, which is huge for DeeDee. Deedee is very skeptical of anyone, and extremely timid, so her to open up so quickly makes me so happy. Next trip, will be planned around Sandy’s availability.”
“Mandy was very attentive to Barleys needs and always kept me updated on how he was doing! She sent lots of pictures and videos! I would highly recommend Mandy and would have her do drop in visits again!”
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.
“He took very good care of our two cats, and he sent us tons of updates about them. We’re glad that we have found someone that we can trust our pets with! And we’ll definitely be booking with him in the future.”
About: Have administered specialized medicine to senior animals for ongoing diseases such as kidney disease and hyperthyroidism. Was very diligent nursing my senior kitty before he passed. I work and go to school so my schedule varies but I always have some nights and mornings free each week that I would love to use on animals. I understand and respect animals boundaries and try my best not to encroach them. I've also mastered the "foot as barrier" approach when opening doors.
About: I have had all kinds of dogs & a cat since I was a kid; Schnauzers, Beagles, Pittie mixes, and a Chihuahua. My girlfriend & I currently have a 10 year old pitty named Cannoli, a son to be 2 year old pitty- Great Pyrenees named Carl and 2 12 year old chihuahuas named Tyson and Felix. Friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and play with their pets while they are away. I am currently available during the week Monday-Friday 10am-10pm (and some weekends), so I will have plenty of time to play with your pups! I am available for walks or drop ins. Would love to regularly walk or drop in with your furry friends weekly or a few times a week! Active pet sitter near parks & walking trails. I enjoy taking pups on long walks or runs outdoors, or even just providing some company in the house while your are away.
“Monica is an exceptional pet sitter! Provides prompt responses, real time pet updates with pictures and my big guy Ripley is happy and safe when she provides pet care services. I am able to have piece of mind that my dog is well cared for when Im not in town, and also able to have communication with her. I just finished my second booking with Monica and will continue to book with her. Highly recommended!”
About: Ive been around animals for a decent part of my life. I’ve grown fond of having animals around, with 3 of my own kitties. I’m very diligent and patient with all animals. I can handle pups that pull. I’m versatile and work with all breeds. I strive to satisfy not only you , but also your pups. I would love to be a part of your fur babies journey!! :) I am fully available and very flexible with scheduling. I’d love to grow in experience and gain the skills I need to best take care of your pets(Home Experience Not Professional) I’m always available to take a stroll, play, and hang out with your fur babies. I will do my best to keep them happy and let them sight see. Thank you for the opportunity. I will always respect your space and follow the directions you give me. I appreciate good communication so that I can give the best service.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Racine
Pete was Awesome!!! Fist off, my dogs are rescues. They have idiosyncrasies (lol). Taffy puts up defences when meeting new people. So much so, that two prior interviewees turned down the offer. Peter, who is a gentle giant, won her over during the interview. Not with his giantness, but his amazing gentleness. Usually it takes some time for Taffy to trust someone, but she found something in Peter to trust right away! The rest of the week went incredibly smoothly. I got texts every evening (he offered photos but i declined). Both Tanka and Taffy assumed "Belly Rub" positions once Peter arrived. I heard such great reports that when I got home, I had to tearfully sit down with them and ask if they would rather go and live with Peter. Just kidding, I couldn't ask that question for fear of the answer!! When I came home, my doges were normal. Not filled with fear, anxiety, depression or anything that separation might cause. That means Peter did not just feed, water, and let them outside. He gave them loving care in my absence. He treated them as I would treat them. That is the sign of an excellent caretaker!! He will always take care of my dogs, dean

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Racine on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 2,234 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Racine. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Racine stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 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 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.
