About: Like most people I’ve grown up with many dogs! From small to large dogs and puppies too! I like to go on walks and stay active with them! I am a travel nurse in Wausau currently! And I’m looking to stay active while I’m away from my dogs back at home. I have a pretty consistent schedule right now I usually get off work around 3/3:30pm everyday. I care for pets with patience, love, and attention to their needs. I provide playtime, exercise, meals, fresh water, medication, companionship, and a safe, comfortable environment. I follow routines carefully, keep spaces clean, and send regular updates and photos.
“Kayla came and met Chief before we started drop-in visits and was so kind. She listened to everything I had to say about him and made sure she had everything she needed. She has sent me pictures of him when she visits and is so kind so him. Thank you!”
“Ashley was great, she made our vacation stress free and went above and beyond for our Abby. She was able to give her her medicine (even though she’s stubborn and hates taking medicine) and lots of loving!”
“Nicole continues to do a great job with drop-in visits for our dog. She is always on time, gives our dog his medication at the required time, and provides a nice summary of the visit along with pictures.”
About: I've had dogs all my life, and I am a volunteer with Fetch Foster and Rescue so I am familiar with all kinds of dogs, with all kinds of backgrounds and needs! My dogs and kiddos all love dogs and we can't wait to meet your furry friend! I am a stay at home mom with lots of time to tend to your pup! My family spends a lot of time outside in our fenced in backyard playing fetch with our dogs, and going for walks! I am never gone from home for more than an hour or two, and my schedule is very flexible to meet you and your pup's needs! I have a large fenced in yard that has been secured to contain even the most scared dogs we have fostered over the years. I can crate your dog if needed, as well as meet any other needs your dog may have in their day.
About: I’ve had cats my whole life and have also cared for dogs throughout different parts of my life, so I’m comfortable with all kinds of personalities—from playful and energetic to shy and independent. Animals have always been a huge part of my world, and I truly love giving them the attention, patience, and care they deserve. 🐾 I currently work full time with a set schedule of Mon 7:45-5, Tues 7:45-5, Wed 6:45-5, Thurs 6:45-5, and Fri 7:45-noon. I would be available whenever I am not working. I would even be willing to visit some furry friends on my lunch breaks, as they are an hour long. Creating a safe, calm, and trusting environment is my top priority with every pet I care for. I take the time to move at their pace, learn their routines, and respect their boundaries so they feel secure and comfortable. Whether it’s double-checking doors and leashes, following feeding instructions exactly, or offering gentle reassurance to nervous pets, I’m always attentive and mindful. My goal is for every pet to feel safe, understood, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. 🐾💛
About: I’ve volunteered at animal shelters and taken care of my 2 beautiful pitbulls while growing up and have 2 cats with my own family now. I absolutely love playing with any animal and I’d love the opportunity to meet new feline friends! I’m currently a stay at home mother so I’m free all the time. I can come to your home and walk your dog or watch your cat when needed, whether it’s a 1 time thing or weekly! I have 2 inside cats named Poco and Zuzi. They are brother and sister from the same litter and when they aren’t playing together, I run around the house with them and throw their toys around.
About: Hello! My name is Ella, and I recently moved back to Wausau after graduating from college in Montana. I earned my bachelor’s degree in Natural Horsemanship, a horse-training method focused on understanding animal behavior and building a relationship based on communication and trust. My degree also included coursework in animal health, animal husbandry, and classes taught by both large- and small-animal veterinarians. My Fiancé, Cooper, also earned a degree in Natural Horsemanship with a minor in ranch management. Like me, he has spent much of his life around animals and is comfortable caring for a variety of pets and following specific care instructions. I grew up on a hobby farm and have had horses nearly my entire life. Dogs have always been part of the family, too—we’ve had everything from Labs and bird dogs to little Jack Russells! I currently have an energetic Blue Heeler who loves joining me on horseback rides and hikes. I’ve also grown up caring for a wide variety of animals, including parrots, dogs, cats, horses, fish, and even a squirrel! This experience has taught me that every animal has their own personality, routine, and needs. I started my own dog-sitting business in high school and continued pet sitting throughout college in Montana. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, horses, and fish, and I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions and maintaining your pet’s normal routine while you’re away. I am also comfortable administering medications and providing specialized care when needed. Just let me know what your pet needs, and I’ll do my best to make it happen! My goal isn’t just to make sure your pet is fed and cared for—it’s to make sure they are happy, comfortable, safe, and enjoying their time while you’re away. I want you to be able to relax and enjoy your weekend or vacation knowing your animals are in good hands. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your furry (or feathered!) family members! I work part time and on my own schedule - I run a small horse training and lesson program from home. I can easily fit pet care in throughout my daily routine and am very flexible. I believe pets are happiest and most comfortable when they can stay in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routine. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize their safety, comfort, and individual needs while treating your home with the same care and respect I would my own. Before each booking, I like to learn about your pet’s normal routine, personality, feeding schedule, exercise needs, medications, and any special instructions. I follow those routines as closely as possible so your pet experiences as little disruption as possible while you’re away. I am attentive to safety and make sure doors, gates, crates, and other areas are secure, and I’m careful to follow any instructions regarding your pet’s access to the home or yard. I’m also comfortable administering medications and providing additional care when needed. I want you to feel completely comfortable while you’re away, so I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, happy, and cared for—and for you to have peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands.
“Becky took care of my cats for a few days, drop-in visits twice a day. She was great; she played with them, pet them, gave them food and mixed in all of the supplements for my older kitty who has CKD. She even cleaned up the bowls and spoons afterwards. I appreciated Becky’s attention to details such as mentioning my cat’s favorite water bowl to moving my young cat’s treat puzzle in the room he temporarily stays in when no one is home so he had another thing to keep him busy. She provided rover cards at every visit along with many pictures. Becky also stopped by for a met and greet before she watched my cats for this first time. I felt comfortable knowing Becky was taking care of my cats while I was away.”

Julia was a great sitter for my two cats, one young and one about 20 years old who needed many supplements added to her soft food twice a day. Julia cleaned litter boxes, feed and socialized with both kitties. They were happy and content when I came home from my mini vacation. Julia also did a meet and greet with me prior to watching my cats and was very professional.
Jesika went above and beyond for our Abby Lou. In the past, if someone struggled to give Abby her medicine, they would give up and say sorry there’s nothing I can do and we’d be struggling to find a last minute sitter while already out of town but not Jesika! She went home and literally cooked a meal to mix her meds in with. 😊 Your pets are in good hands here. 🐾

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Rothschild is $18 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $28 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 188 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Rothschild. 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.

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.
