I was very happy to have found Shylina. She arrived on time and I think Puffy enjoyed playing with her. She sent pictures, which I appreciated too.

They had amazing communication and made me feel so comfortable while I was away from our critters. I would definitely recommend again and will be reaching out again the next time I need a sitter.

Autumn was amazing with my animals and took amazing care of my house. We have 5 animals from young to older, and I had full trust in Autumn taking care of them. She updated me the whole time, asked questions when necessary, and went above and beyond for my fur babies!

About: We have had pets in our homes for as long as I can remember. I have taken care of all sizes from Bernese Mountain Dogs to Chihuahuas. I currently work from home full time. I am able to attend to your pets needs throughout the day. I enjoy walking so if you pet is up to it they will get plenty of exercise. I have several acres of land for us to explore when your pet visits. My dogs are gracious hosts and will make certain there is plenty of time for fun and games. I currently work from home and have the flexibility to give your pup attention when they want/need it. We are able to have frequent potty breaks, play fetch and go for walks as needed. I have 2 friendly pups and 2 cats that will welcome your fur baby and keep them company throughout their stay. Pets are able to wander inside my house freely. They might enjoy my comfy couch to sleep on, enjoy the view from our window seat, sunny spot on the floor. The opportunities are endless.

Savannah was absolutely awesome with our dog! Her communication leading up to the stay, along with check-ins was wonderful. I never worried as I knew Shandy was well taken care of. On top of doing a great job with Shandy she went over and beyond to clean, wash bedding/towels and pick-up, which was not expected but very much appreciated. Thank you so much Savannah for taking such great care of Shandy and our home while we were away. It truly means the world as we didn't have to worry at all. Look forward to next time! Thanks again :)

About: I’ve grown up with family dogs my entire life. Because of that, I have quite a lot of experience dealing with more “stubborn” breeds like Irish Setters and Keeshonds. I’m willing to be just about as patient as it takes to truly understand your pet and all of their wonderful quirks! In the past I’ve some done pet sitting for friends over holidays- which, upon request, could include a handful of daily photos for the family missing their precious pet! If needed, I also have lots of experience washing dogs with wide varieties of coats(silky to triple coated). I would be more than happy to bathe your furry friend as long as the products are supplied! I’m currently unemployed and on summer break from college and am free at just about all hours of the day to come hang out with your pet! I wake up quite early and am available both weekdays, and weekends. Depending on your dog’s needs, I will clean up any of their messes and make sure to always be at least keeping an eye on them. Most of the time I’m there, I will prioritize keeping them company, playing with them, and caring for them. I will also take them for walks and let them outside as needed!

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover and a proud pet parent who truly believes pets are part of the family. ❤️ I’m dependable, caring, and attentive, and I’ll treat your pets with the same love and attention I’d want for my own. I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets in someone else’s care, so I make communication a priority. I’m happy to send updates, photos, and plenty of reassurance while you’re away! Whether your pup needs a walk, some playtime, a little extra attention, or simply a cozy companion while you’re gone, I’d love to help. 🐶🐾 I’m looking forward to getting to know you and your furry family members! I have a flexible schedule and can work with a variety of pet-care needs. I’m happy to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting based on your pet’s routine and your schedule. I’ll work with you ahead of time to make sure your pet gets the care, attention, exercise, and love they need! At this time I do prefer to watch pets in their own home where they are familiar with their surroundings. I will board pets at my home, but I do live on a fairly busy highway with an unfenced yard. If you wish for me to watch your pet in my home, I do ask that they are very well trained off leash or are content being on a long leash outside. I ask this for your pets safety & would absolutely hate for something to happen. When watching pets in my home, my husband comes home every day for lunch during the week and can accommodate play time & bathroom breaks.

About: I have taken care of kittens, puppies, dogs. I have also trained my dog when I was younger when she was a puppy. I’m just here to help. If there’s anything I can do please let me know. I’d love to be a part of making sure your vacation or your day is less stressful I am in school and also I will be working from home. Going to the office a couple times a week so I am very flexible. I will ask to understand your needs wants and values period if there are certain things that you need accommodations, for I would love to understand them so that we can have a very clear understanding so that you can enjoy your time away from your pets as best as possible.

Kallyn is a consummate professional and fantastic at what she does! This was our first time booking with Kallyn and I think we’ve found our forever pet and house sitter. From our initial consult, where she came to our home and spent over an hour getting to know our dogs (I was impressed with the questions she asked from medical needs to our dog’s preferences), to the numerous photos and updates throughout her stay, you can tell she cares deeply about each animal and it was evident our pups enjoyed every minute with her. The peace of mind that provided me was worth every penny and then some.

Calcifer was great with our senior dog who has some extra needs. He was very kind, caring and you can tell he loves animals. He was also great at communication, always letting us know how our dog was doing and when he was coming/going.

Natasha was absolutely amazing! She took such great care of my babies (2 GSDs) and my home. She sent photos and updates daily which eased this mama’s heart. She had no problem giving my old girl her meds and making sure she rested when needed. On top of everything?!?!? She even washed the sheets, dishes and took out the trash! Natasha has been, by far, the best dog and home sitter we have ever had. When we need a sitter again, she will definitely be our go to in the Hudson, WI area!

FAQs for House Sitting - Wacouta

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of August 2026, there are 244 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Wacouta. 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 Wacouta 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 Wacouta 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 Wacouta 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Wacouta. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 90% 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.
