“Justinh took a last minute request for house sitting and was communicative and professional the whole time. We’ll definitely hit her up the next time we go out of town!”
“Our 3 dogs took to Tali like family! He stayed in our home for a month while we were overseas. Not only did he take excellent care of our dogs, but he watered our plants, gave the dogs their medications, scooped poop, and coordinated with our cleaner and lawn care team. We will definitely have Tali care for our dogs again. We highly recommend him! Thank you, Tali!”
“Karla took great care of our dogs and our place. We greatly appreciate her help as we urgently needed care for our furry family members when we had to respond to an emergency out of state. Thank you!”
“Lillian (Ruthie) took such loving care of my li'l girl Sadie! This was my first time leaving her since a cross country move, and Ruthie helped keep Sadie's routine consistent while giving her a quiet, comfortable environment. She was also wonderfully communicative, trustworthy, and caring. Thank you, Ruthie, and we look forward to having you out again!”
“Nothing but good things to say! Andrea was super responsive, provided the best updates, and it was clear our pup loved her! Will definitely be reaching out in the future- highly recommend her!”
About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life and I love them endlessly. I would love the opportunity to shower your animals with the love and care they need while you are away. I work full time but I have a schedule abnormal to most. I have lots of free time during the day before 3 during most weekdays, and evenings on weekends. Message me if you see a time that is not available and we’ll see if we can work something out! :) I will give your animal lots of love and attention, and make sure that they are well taken care of when they are with me. I will treat them like my own pups.
About: I’ve been the go-to family/friend pet sitter my entire life, so I am constantly around animals and committing to taking care of them. I also worked at a pet store, where I learned a lot about pet care, food and products. I’m pretty comfortable around all dogs & cats and I’m always willing to learn and adapt to their individual personalities. When you trust me to play, walk, or take care of your dog, I want you to know that they will receive the dedication and love that my own fur balls get (lots of it!). My partner and I have 2 dogs and 3 cats that I love dearly. My boy dog has some neurological issues which makes his care a bit more complicated but it has given me experience for dogs with additional needs! My availability is currently wide open so I am available for drop ins, dog walking, or house sittings whenever needed! I’m also incredibly flexible and can accept last minute bookings as long as I am given some travel time! When in your home, I would love to take your babies for walks or field trips to the dog park, anything you would already do with them to make them comfortable. I make sure pets are fed, have fresh water, get plenty of attention and playtime, and stay comfortable in their routine. I also keep their space clean and watch for any changes in their behavior or needs in order to let their owner know along with following their owners given directions.
“Kaylin is a special soul and one of very few sitters I trust my home and pets with! She was a fantastic communicator and took exceptional care of everything. She went far above and beyond!! I feel so lucky to have been able to meet her and look forward to many repeat visits in the future. She is a ROCKSTAR :-D”
About: From the age of 15, I’ve had experience providing care for and walking the dogs of friends, family, and neighbors. I have experience feeding, walking, playing with, and bathing dogs, as well as feeding cats. Additionally, I have a year’s worth of experience with horses. I am currently a substitute teacher for the GISD school district and am looking to keep myself busy and earn some extra cash during the Summer. I currently have full availability for the summer and will have evening and weekend availability once the next school year begins. I respect the home of both clients and their animals. I keep spaces clean and ensure sure the pets feels safe and comfortable around me.
About: I have been in the veterinary field for 10+ years working for a non profit organization. I have been house and dog sitting for the past 10 years on the side for mostly the same clients. I send daily pictures and updates, and hardly leave the house when I'm sitting unless otherwise specified or asked. I want to keep you and your fur babies as comfortable as possible. I am able to administer any kind of medication needed such as oral, injectables, or even special ointments. I can help with any special needs, and am always aware of schedules for feedings and any special diets. Early morning walks or late night potty breaks are not a problem and I am available for whatever may come up. I work mostly from home with the occasional day or two in office which means I would be able to provide the most care and attention. During the week, M-F, I typically only provide sitting but may have an occasional drop in. I follow all rules and will never have guests over, unless otherwise specified, to ensure your pets are comfortable in their own home. I am very cautious with pets when going on walks.
About: I love all animals. I’ve both taken care of and owned all size, age, and breeds. Senior dogs have a special place in my heart. I am currently working from my home and are afforded the opportunity and flexibility to watch, care for, and/or board your pets at all times! I have a fenced yard and friendly pups that can either be a part of the fun or not. I also have a crate if needed.
About: I have 19 animals I care for cleaning messes is what I do! making sure they are all loved and fed with clean water is my happiness! I own a big dog and I love and care for him 24/7!

I am home all day, so your dog is supervised the whole time instead of being left alone for stretches. We keep a set routine for meals, exercise, rest and crate time, which is what settles most dogs down fastest. I have a crate available if yours is crate trained or wants a quiet space of their own, and I sanitize it and wash all bedding between every stay. Potty breaks every couple of hours. I live in an apartment with no yard, so we walk instead, which means I am careful about leashes, harnesses and doors and I do not let dogs off leash anywhere that is not enclosed. Only 1 or 2 dogs are ever here at once, so there is no group play and no surprises with other people's dogs.
About: Being a bilingual pet sitter allows me to connect easily with both pets and their owners. I have a natural ability to bond with animals, making them feel safe and comfortable while their humans are away. Each pet is unique, and I adapt to their needs—whether they crave playtime, affection, or quiet companionship. I carefully observe their behavior, ensuring they feel at ease. Beyond feeding and cleaning, I focus on trust and security. The best moments are when a once-shy pet finally warms up to me. Pet sitting isn’t just a job; it’s about creating meaningful connections with with your pets. 🐾💕 Being a musician gives me the flexibility to dedicate time to caring for pets. My schedule allows me to be available when pet owners need me most, whether it’s for daily visits, overnight stays, or last-minute care. This flexibility means I can adapt to each pet’s routine, ensuring they receive the attention, companionship, and care they need. Whether it’s taking a dog on a midday walk, spending quality time with a shy cat, or simply being there for feeding and playtime, I love being able to offer reliable care. Pet sitting fits perfectly into my life, and I cherish every moment of it. As someone with a flexible schedule, I provide pet care both in my home and in clients’ homes. Since I currently don’t have a pet, I can welcome pets into my home, where they have space to feel comfortable and enjoy my yard. This setup allows me to give them dedicated attention in a calm environment. At the same time, I understand that some pets feel safest in their familiar surroundings. My flexibility allows me to meet them in their own home, keeping their routine intact and ensuring they feel at ease. Whether in my home or theirs, I prioritize their comfort, care, and happiness.
About: I have grow up with all kinds of Pets. I live on a bunch of land and I love to go for walks. My family always have me go and pet/house sit for them when they go on vacations. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine. I go to school online so I’m always home. My child loves to go on walks, so I’m always going on walks. I do not have any rules about animals on furniture because I love to cuddle them. I will let them out, feed them, take them on walks, make sure they have water, and love on them when I’m not doing anything
About: Over the years, I’ve regularly helped care for my sister’s Rat Terrier and Chihuahuas, from feeding and walking them to giving them plenty of attention and companionship. I’ve really enjoyed getting to know their personalities and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I work from home, so I have a flexible schedule and can make time throughout the day for walks, feeding, playtime, and giving pets the attention and companionship they need. Whether I’m caring for a pet in my home or their own home, I make sure they’re fed, exercised, comfortable, and given plenty of attention while keeping their space clean and following their owner’s instructions.
About: I've taken care of many animals in the course of years. From guinea pigs to cats and dogs to fishes and farm animals. I love animals and love learning about them. I work a flex schedule at a warehouse where I can plan my own schedule, rest assured I can work around different schedules to make sure to take care of the pets and have them as higher priority I have many pets at home. I have cats, dogs and chickens. If your pet isn't keen to being around other animals I will keep them indoors with me and take them out on a leash for the bathroom or to walk around away from the other animals. Your pets are the priority, I can care for them from early in the morning to late in the day and do overnight stays

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 540 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Vilas. 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 Vilas 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 Vilas 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Vilas 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 , 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 .
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 .
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.
