“Mya was great with our pup! I have a very energetic and rowdy Aussie, and she did a great job playing with him and watching him for the weekend while I was gone. She was great about updating me, sending me pictures, and letting me know how everything was going! Thank you Mya!”
“Allie and Coco found a new best friend - we felt comfortable and safe with our girls in Matt’s hands. We received regular updates and fun photos. Bonus was coming home and not having to change sheets because Matt had already washed them. We will definitely hire Matt again.”
“Lauren and Layla were great! Very understanding and patient with my timid dog and wonderful communicators during my trip. Both of my dogs were happy and well cared for when I got back.”
“Rocio has been so amazing! Rocio was absolutely incredible with my dogs! She kept me updated with photos and messages throughout the day, which gave me so much peace of mind. I would definitely book with Rocio again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter!”
“Aubrey was excellent with our cat Roo. She cared for her as if she were her own. Very gentle and loving. Played with her A LOT and alerted us to a few possible issues. She is very knowledgeable about cat behaviors and habits. She took excellent care of our home as well. Very responsible and personable.”
About: I've owned, trained, been around, worked with animals for over 25 years. I would absolutely love to help love on and care for your pet! I work full time from home with a very flexible schedule that I manage myself. I am often found walking the neighborhood while listening to a podcast! I have a secure fenced in back yard and also have an XL dog kennel as well as a Small size kennel available, if needed.
About: Hi! I’m a dependable and caring pet lover who understands how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. I’ve cared for pets of different sizes and personalities, including dog-sitting a Golden Retriever in my home and providing a safe, loving environment for two cats during a three-month stay while their owner was out of town. I’ve also looked after a family friend’s Pekingese on and off for six years, giving me experience with long-term, consistent pet care. I treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and a comfortable environment. Whether your pet needs companionship while you’re away or a reliable caregiver they can feel at home with, I’d love the opportunity to help give you peace of mind. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! I work full-time Monday through Friday, but my schedule allows me to provide reliable pet care before and after work. My work hours are: * Monday: 8:30 AM–2:00 PM * Tuesday: 9:15 AM–4:00 PM * Wednesday: 8:20 AM–3:30 PM * Thursday: 9:15 AM–2:30 PM * Friday: 8:30 AM–3:30 PM I’m available for morning visits before work, evening visits after work, and have additional availability on weekends. I make pet care a priority by sticking to each pet’s routine and ensuring they receive plenty of attention, care, and updates while you’re away. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I follow their usual routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure. I make sure they have fresh food and water, clean litter boxes, plenty of playtime and attention, and any other care requested by the owner. I always treat each home with respect, keep the space clean, and provide regular updates and photos so owners know their pets are happy and well cared for while they’re away.
“OMG we loved Kate! Our dogs took to her immediately and I think they forgot we weren’t there. She was so caring and sweet with them and even took them out to a trail for a day out. We will absolutely be using Kate again. What a gem”
“Simone did a great job! I had to book last minute on a holiday weekend and she was more than accommodating with my crazy schedule! My dog Roxy was certainly played out when I came home and I felt very comfortable with her and her family being in my home.”
“Brittany was so kind with Prince; he was his normal self when I arrived home which means he didn’t miss a beat when it came to eating, walking, playing, etc. she sent pictures and went out of her way to make sure everything went great; whenever our schedules align I’ll definitely choose her to stay with my little sleepy guy!”
“Samira is just amazing! My fur babies just love her, they even cried when she left. I did not have time to do my dishes before I left and when I came home they were all washed!”
About: What sets me apart is my hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes and ages. I have three large dogs of my own, and my family breeds dogs, so I have experience caring for entire litters of puppies. I understand how much patience, attention, and care puppies need as they grow. I’m comfortable around large dogs and love getting to know each dog's unique personality. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I will always do my best to make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while you're away! I recently switched to PRN at the hospital, which gives me more flexibility with my schedule. I’m starting nursing school in January, so pet sitting is a great way for me to spend my free time doing something I love while earning extra income. I have three dogs of my own, so caring for animals is already a part of my daily life. I’m able to work with pet owners to find a schedule that works best for them and their pets, and I look forward to giving every pet plenty of love, attention, and care while their owners are away! I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved in their own environment. I follow the owner's instructions for feeding, walks, potty breaks, medications if needed, and playtime to keep their pet's routine as normal as possible. Since I have three large dogs of my own and experience helping my family care for litters of puppies, I'm comfortable handling different personalities, sizes, and energy levels. I always make sure pets have fresh water, plenty of attention, and a clean, safe space. I also love sending updates and pictures so owners can feel at ease knowing their pets are being well cared for!
About: Welcome to my tranquil home. Here, your dog will receive the utmost care and attention in a loving and peaceful environment. I only accept one dog or two small dogs from the same family for boarding, which allows me to provide dedicated and specialized care in my home for each furry guest. I work from home so you can be assured someone is with your dog during their entire stay. I make it a point to maximize my time with your pet, and only leave if I need to run errands or have an appointment, which is rarely more than a couple of hours. Also, since I only keep pets from the same family you will never need to worry about other dogs. When we do a meet and greet what you see is what you get. You will meet me and Walter, my super laid back Chihuahua Italian Greyhound mix. And we offer up the Humble Abode (our home) which is a great respite for anxious and senior dogs due to the calm and peaceful environment. I’ve had pets my entire life and have been offering pet care services for more than a decade. Walter has happily helped me welcome many dogs over the 7 years he’s been around. IN HOME STAYS If you have a larger pack or prefer in-home care and/or drop in visits I also offer that. I do bring my dog with me so that would have to be allowed. I also offer cleaning, organizing and plant watering services as add-ins with in-home stays. Dog walking services are also offered for those long workdays and for your young and active pups. Please reach out with any questions and we hope to meet you soon! I work from home and set my own schedule so I can accommodate most situations if given advance notice. We try to go for 1/2 mile walk each day, longer leisurely walks or hikes on the weekends and visit local parks and nature if everyone is up for it. We also can hang out on the enclosed patio which is the perfect spot to sun bathe when the weather is nice. I try my best to accommodate any schedules your dog has. I live a pretty laid back lifestyle. With just me and my pup, Walter, home life is pretty peaceful. For this reason I only take one dog at a time, unless it’s two small dogs from the same family.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs. I have experience caring for puppies and elderly dogs. I have an Aussie doodle puppy. I’m available for drop ins, walks, or sittings. I have a flexible schedule and will be available the majority of the day to care of your pets. If I have to leave during boardings, it will be only for short periods of times which will be communicated to you. I live in an apartment with plenty of space and a dog park. There is a nice neighborhood and park nearby for walks. For sittings at your home, I will respect your space and keep it clean. I have a puppy at home, so I am unable to stay at your home overnight. I will update you with as many photos or videos you’d like!
“Caitlin was truly wonderful. We had an issue accessing the lock box with the key, and as I panicked from another country, Caitlin assisted and took steps to access the unit. It all worked out but if she wasn’t as helpful as she was I probably would have flown back and ended my trip. She took good care of my senior dog, and was responsive and kept me updated. This was my first time ever having someone stay in my home, and she was absolutely respectful of the space.”
“Faith Lynn stayed a second night with a pup. She is charming and reliable! Really helped us out during our visit to Paso Robles. Thanks to her, we were able to visit several evening activities that were not dog friendly. Highly trustworthy and would very much recommend her. Our dog, Penny loved her!”

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 West Bend 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 West Bend 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 West Bend 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.
