“Beth was wonderful tending to the two very different needs of our two cats - one very shy that needed lots of space, and one very active teenager that needed lots of attention. She left our house in immaculate condition. Highly recommend and would love to have her stay with our cats again in the future!”
“Michelle is amazing! I wish I could give her way more than 5 stars. She is a great communicator and sends pics of the pups often which is very comforting to me. When I return home the house is just as clean as I left it…if not cleaner. Most importantly, the pups absolutely LOVE her.”
“Helena was everything we hoped for in a dog and house sitter. I appreciate so much all of the photos, the detailed updates on their time together, and how proactive Helena was with communicating. We cannot wait to be her repeat clients. If you want someone that you can trust that your dog will quickly be obsessed with, look no further. Seriously, thank you so much, Helena!”
About: Hello! My name is McKenzie! I’m a pre-med student and animal lover looking to earn some extra funds for medical school. I’ve had my own dog since he was a puppy (he's now 8 years old!). Because he has a daily medication schedule, I am experienced and comfortable handling any medical or dietary needs your dog might have. I am currently home full time and am available for daily drop ins or house sittings when needed! I am also flexible and will accept last minute bookings for no additional costs from my end. I’m currently working part time online so I will have plenty of time to play with your puppies and check in on them! I am available everyday at any time since I work online. I ensure pet safety through constant supervision, secure spaces, and by following your specific guidelines. I will take them on daily walks and doggy parks (if you wish for the parks).
“We were lucky to find Grace to look after our 2 x dogs and cat! She was communicative, responsible and really thoughtful. For the first time ever, our pets weren't stressed when we arrived home after being away for 10 days. They were calm and happy - a testament to Grace's care and attention. Thank you Grace!”
About: I’ve never lived a day in my life without having a dog by my side, and I can confidently say that I can’t imagine it any other way. From puppies to our older friends, I love them just like they’re my own. After many years spent with different breeds, sizes, and ages, I am also well versed in common health conditions. I am especially fond of senior dogs and would be honored to care for them. I have recently begun a full time job in Richmond but still petsit often since I truly enjoy it. My schedule best suits check ins with pets in the mornings or evenings. I have the most flexibility on Sundays and Mondays and can do midday visits usually only on those days. You will never have to worry about how your baby is doing. Because of my own personal (and very anxiety inducing!) experiences with being away from my boy, I am very diligent about keeping pet parents in the loop.
“Vanessa was wonderful! She took great care of our cats (and hummingbirds) and our house. She was in constant contact letting us know how our girls were doing and sent plenty of pictures which we loved. We will definitely reach out to her again when we need her services”
“Steven gave my cats such special attention and care while I was away on international travel. I was reassured of their overall care and the specific needs of each one. So grateful for that special focus!”
“We are so grateful for Isaiah! We had to leave town last minute, and he worked with us every step of the way. He came by beforehand to meet our dogs and has a lot of experience. One of our dogs is a new adoption, and she really only likes me, but he was able to get her to a place where she was comfortable and not stressed around him. That alone says a lot about how good he is. He was accommodating to whatever we needed during the sit and was respectful of our home. When we got back, our pets were happy, relaxed, and acting completely like themselves. We’ve had experiences in the past where you could immediately tell the level of care they received, and this was the opposite. It truly felt like they had been cared for the way we would care for them. Isaiah was that person. We will definitely be reaching out to him again in the future.”
About: I have experience with dogs of all ages and sizes! I raised two dogs from puppies to adulthood and trained them myself. At the time I lived on a farm and insured to keep all of my animals (3 dogs included) safe and well behaved. I am absolutely in love with animals (as many should be) and miss having that part of my life. I am a student and work part-time. Due to this, I have to be organized and prepared. As I have worked/lived off the land, I also am not afraid of getting my hands and knees dirty. I look forward to meeting you all and your beautiful fur babies! I am currently working part time and take classes purely online. This gives me a mostly free schedule and the availability to take care of your animals! I believe a dog's comfort is top priority. I always aim to respect a dog's boundaries by reading their body language and presenting myself as not threatening.
“Andrew was everything we want in a dog sitter. Kind, thoughtful, conscientious and funny. Our Oona can be a stubborn hound and we really appreciate him working with her quirks. He was flexible in meeting up with us to ensure we were comfortable leaving her, and he left the house better than he found it! A++”
“Hailey did an amazing job dog sitting Clover in our home! I received lots of pics and updates, Hailey quickly responded to my texts, the house was neat as a pin when we returned, and Clover was obviously happy and well cared for in our absence. We will be using Hailey for all of our dog sitting needs in the future. She is a rare find!”
About: I worked as a pet care specialist at a pet resort and worked there for two years. I love animals of all shapes and sizes. I am used to giving medications, dealing with different breeds, feeding and walking as well as temperament levels. I have a dog of my own who is my world. I promise to treat your pet like they are my own and to be organized and caring when it comes to every aspect of taking care of your pet. I have been around all types of dogs and cats as well. I’m willing to take the time to learn about your pet and do whatever care they need in order to be comfortable and safe. I will always do my best at all times. I work full time during the week but am available for overnight stays during the week and weekends as needed. My work schedule is 8-5pm. While Petsitting in the clients home, I always make sure to be aware of my surroundings and others while out and about on walks as well as maintaining the safety of the clients home.
About: I’m the family pet sitter because not only do I follow their routine but I make sure my sweeties are loved and entertained. I’m a nursing assistant part time so I have loads of hospitality experience! I’m a nursing assistant part time I’m usually working weekends which makes me more available during the week to stop by or even sit and entertain your sweeties! My Basic House-Sitting service includes staying overnight with your pup so they have company and comfort in their own home, along with daytime care every 3-5 hours for potty breaks, meals, playtime, and cuddles.
About: I’ve always loved animals and typically they seem to love me too. I had a golden retriever growing up in Liberia that I loved and took care of before coming here. I’ve always watched my friends pets for them. Sometimes I even take them to the vet when they can’t. I have a dog and cat of my own that are absolutely spoiled rotten and the sweetest things alive. I currently work full time during the week. However I’m available for evening pet care after work and weekends. Sundays and Mondays are my full days off and I am available all day during those days for whatever your pet needs. I currently have a dog at home that generally goes out every two to three hours. We live in a neighborhood with huge fields. If they are leash trained, generally they can roam free along with my dog.

FAQs for House Sitting - Aldwyck
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 1,314 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Aldwyck. 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 Aldwyck 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 Aldwyck 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 Aldwyck 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.
