I have 2 cats and a dog of my own. I have had cats all of my life and a dog for 3 years now! I’m able to care for pets almost every day of the week! I am very available and flexible.

I also can provide all kinds of enrichment and playtime and love to spoil our furry friends.
“Carolyn was fantastic! She loved on my dog so well and I felt completely comfortable leaving her in Carolyn's care. She was prompt with the timing of her visit and was quick with her communication. She played with Jeans the whole weekend. And to top it off, we came home to a clean house and even clean sheets! I will definitely book with Carolyn again and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her.”
“We couldn't be happier with Deana as our in home dog sitter! We hired her for a week and she took great care of our two doggos.

We definitely recommend her and hope we can hire her again!”

About: I am pursuing an animal science degree while also working at a vet clinic. I have experience with many different animals from cats to dogs to horses. I am able to stop in right away in the morning around 6-7am, in the middle of the day around 12, and also in the evenings. I love creating an environment where your pet is comfortable while you’re away! I have lots of experience with different types of pets and would love to cater to each individual pet.

Furniture is not off limits for the animals (if approved by the owners of course) 🐱
About: Hey, my name is Summer. I’m double majoring at UW River falls to become a vet tech and major in animal science. I’ve worked at a boarding and training facility for 9 years of all animals horses, dogs, cats. I’ve also was an assistant at a vet clinic so I have tons of hands on experience. I currently also work at a training facility in River falls called Crystal Clear Canine Training. I’ve worked with animals of all ages and know what it’s like to leave animals in other people’s care, you only want the best. Like I said above I currently work at a training facility throughout the week but always get a lunch break so I am able to stop in if need be. I’m completely free Mondays, Thursdays, Fridays, and weekends In a client’s home, I prioritize maintaining the pet’s routine to ensure consistency and comfort. I follow feeding, walking, and care instructions precisely while providing regular updates with photos and notes on the pet’s well-being. Cleanliness and safety are always a focus, ensuring food and water bowls are fresh, litter boxes are maintained, and the home stays tidy. My experience in animal training allows me to reinforce positive behaviors and help manage any stress or anxiety the pet may experience in their owner’s absence. Having worked in the veterinary and training fields for years, I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I strive to provide the best care possible.

Kristina and her Fiancée were awesome! Our puppies were very well taken care of. We have four and they use tracking collars and they were not intimidated by the GPS system. They were prompt and communication was excellent. They were very neat and tidy as well with the house. Would definitely book again!

FAQs for House Sitting - River Falls
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in River Falls on Rover is $44.4 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 2,482 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across River Falls. 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 River Falls 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 River Falls 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 River Falls 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.

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.
