“Bella did an amazing job caring for our two dogs! Both are seniors with health issues, and she did great with communication and asking questions, ultimately making us feel more at ease leaving for a few days. We will definitely book with her again, and recommend her to anyone looking for dog sitting services!”
“Holly was wonderful! She took extra time to meet our pup before his stay, which was so appreciated. She took our pup on lots of walks, gave him snuggles and helped find a way to calm his food anxiousness at her house. Would recommend her to anyone!”
About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, giving me many years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats. I work part-time at a pet boarding facility where I handle daily care for animals of all ages and temperaments. I am comfortable administering oral and topical medications, managing specialized treatments, and ensuring every pet feels safe and comfortable Hi! I am a current student at UW-La Crosse looking to help family’s care for their furry members. I love animals and want to combine my passion for pets with a flexible way to help fund my college education. Whether your pet needs an energetic walk, a friendly check-in during the day, or a dedicated companion for the weekend, I am here to help! My Availability: Weekdays: Flexible morning and afternoon hours (around my class schedule) Weekends: Available Saturdays and Sundays for overnight sitting, extended visits, or daytime care. I am responsible, energetic, and ready to give your pets the love and attention they deserve. Please feel free to reach out to discuss your pet's routine and how I can help! When I am home from college, I spend most of my time caring for my dog and cat. I ensure they both stay happy, healthy, and hydrated by managing their medications, keeping up with routine potty breaks and litter box cleaning, and attending to their overall well-being—all while giving them plenty of love!
“Faith was absolutely incredible. I sometimes procrastinate so I booked with Faith later than I originally wanted, so she was unable to stay the night with our dogs. But she responded to my request right away and sent prompt responses every time. I felt a little bad for our dogs at first knowing nobody would be there at night. But Faith’s detail to care, information she consistently shared with me, along with pictures, and her clear love for animals, made those feelings disappear so fast. My boys absolutely loved her. We will definitely be booking with her again. Thanks again Faith! :)”
About: I grew up with shelter dogs my whole life, and we always had three dogs at a time, so I’m very used to different personalities, energy levels, and behaviors. Having rescue dogs taught me a lot of patience and helped me learn how every dog has their own needs and routine. Something that sets me apart is my hands-on experience with training my German Shepherd Husky mix at home, so I’m comfortable working with high-energy dogs and helping reinforce good habits. I also have experience with dogs of all ages, including seniors, so I understand the extra gentleness and patience they sometimes need. Honestly, I just really love being around dogs and miss mine at home, so I’d love the chance to spend time with some furry friends and make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. I am in school full time and I work at Chick Fil A part time, but I am done with classes most days by 3pm so I am willing to walk dogs on those days! I also do not go home hardly ever, except holidays so I can do weekend care as well! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make it a priority to stick closely to their normal routine because I know how important consistency is for dogs. One of my dogs at home, Maui, will even get sick if breakfast is more than about 30 minutes late, so I truly understand how much pets rely on their schedules for comfort and health. I’m also very comfortable cleaning up after pets and handling any accidents quickly and responsibly. Being an only child, I’ve always been the one to step in and take care of messes at home, so it comes naturally to me to keep both the pet and the home clean and comfortable. I also know how reassuring updates can be for pet parents. Whenever my family goes on trips, my mom loves receiving photos of our dogs, so I always plan to send picture updates and little check-ins so owners know their pets are happy, safe, and well cared for.
About: I have worked with animals off and on my whole life. I’ve had four dogs growing up including my current dog. I do have experience with epilepsy since my current dog does have it. I can also help with basic training such as walking nicely on a leash. I am currently trying to find a new career so working with doggos in the meantime will help me in that journey. I am open for walks or checks in during the week, but can only do stayovers on the weekends. I unfortunately can not have pets at my current residence as it is my parents, but I am more than willing to multiple stops or even overnights for your pets. I will love and care for them as if they’re my own.
About: I’ve had dogs for 12+ years. Two I’ve raised from puppy’s and worked on behavioral training such as, going on walks, sitting, laying, and many other things. I have also trained show pigs for the last 9 years. I am available Monday through Friday most day hours. I am available some evenings and some weekends. I enjoy working with animals and helping out anyway I can. I treat the animal with respect and follow instruction as needed. I believe in consistency so that the animal doesn’t get confused. I think it’s important that the dog feels comfortable, gets cared for, and gets plenty of exercise.
“Amanda was awesome with my quirky dog Hazel. She was professional throughout the whole process. We haven’t had a lot of different dog sitters because our dog Hazel is a little quirky. Amanda came at the time we asked her to, she took Hazel on hikes, sent pictures to us throughout the weekend and kept us updated on how things were going. Our house looked exactly y the same as it did when we left. We will 100% have Amanda back to help with Hazel for any future stays!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Stoddard
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 111 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Stoddard. 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 Stoddard 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 Stoddard 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 Stoddard 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 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.
