We felt very much at ease when we were gone. Madeline kept in contact with us via text when we were gone. We both would recommend her in a second!!”

About: I have always had pets in my life. From rescued dogs I would fine abandoned on the side of the road to horses who were about to be euthanized by our local rancher. Cats, kittens, puppies and adult senior dogs always have a place in my heart and home. I am an adopter and rescuer. I would love to help you with potty breaks to walks. Feeding to medication administration. Let me know what you need help with and I’ll be there. I’m currently looking to help pet owners as I have been in situations where I needed help with drop ins for potty breaks to needing someone to walk my dog while I was at work. I’m familiar and comfortable with doing all of the above along with giving oral or topical medication. I’m recently retired and would love to spend time helping out. I am very familiar with dogs and cats and all that goes along with making sure they’re comfortable and well taken care of care of.

Play, exercise, feed or cuddle…your furbabies will be well taken care of. I bring with me lots of love and have been trained for many, many years with martial arts of various kinds, including MMA, and a previous competitive deadlifter- so your pet is safe with me for walks and the like. I can drop-in, walk, or just pet-sit! Thank you! Please call on me when needed, and I look forward to meeting you and your fur-babies! I cannot be around cigarette, vape or marijuana smoke, so I am not available for homes where this has been, but, could still take your dog for a walk if I am only outside. I offer in your home pet services-(cat or dog- birds, and reptiles, too!) or dog walking. I can also come and clean your yard for a visit fee. :)
“Arianna is a wonderful, efficient, personal, and caring dog sitter. She stayed at my residence for a full week and did an excellent job of caring for my dog Tigger as well as frequently communicating, through texts and photos, regarding his care! She is caring, capable, responsible, and trustworthy. During her stay she and Tigger experienced severe storms and her attention to the safety of Tigger and herself was paramount as well as ensuring the care of my home. I highly recommend her as a sitter; she certainly deserved the 5 star rating!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Wisconsin Rapids
First time using Rover. We did not want to board our recently adopted dog. Heard about Rover.com and gave it a try. Kara was excellent with Micky. She came from the shelter timid of people but Kara got her to warm to her quickly. Knowing we were concerned, she kept us regularly informed with texts and even pics. We were able to fully enjoy our fun family wedding in Sheboygan. Thnaks Kara!

FAQs for House Sitting - Wisconsin Rapids
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Wisconsin Rapids on Rover is $32.1 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 81 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Wisconsin Rapids. 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 Wisconsin Rapids 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 Wisconsin Rapids 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 Wisconsin Rapids 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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
