C’est ma première fois faisant affaire avec ce type de service et je n’ai pas été déçu! Katrhyne s’est offerte pour venir la veille pour rencontrer mon chien et avoir plus d’explications. Elle est restée en contact à chaque visite en m’envoyant des photos de mes animaux. Excellent service!

Isabelle took amazing care of our cat Layla while we were on vacation. It was nice to have picture updates while we were gone and see Layla was being well-fed and looked after. Isabelle will be the first person we call when we go away in the future :) Merci Isabelle!

Rebeca is amazing! My cat is very shy and she was able to develop trust and get her to spend time with her. I could relax knowing that she was my cat sitter. She timed the visits very well due to some wild weather. I will be hiring her every time I go in holiday. Thanks so much for taking good care of Punko.

We have three senior cats with special needs, and we were very worried to leave them alone for a few days. Jean‑François completely put our mind at ease and truly stole our hearts with the exceptional care he provided. Every day, he sent detailed updates about how our cats were doing, complete with notes about their meals, medications, playtime, litter cleaning, and all the affection he showered them with. I cannot recommend Jean‑François enough to care for your furry family members. Finding someone so trustworthy, attentive, and reliable has been such a gift. Thank you Jean‑François, on behalf of Mitaine, Kyra, and Hubert :)

About: Hi my name is Sarah. I’ve always been passionate about animals so I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely caring for your pet. While I was in school, I fostered dogs for a rescue organisation. As seen in the pictures I have a golden (Moka or momo) and his little sister the cat (Doja). The other dogs in the pictures are foster dogs we loved & welcomed into our home. I live in a cozy home with a large fenced backyard and love incorporating walks, outdoor time, hikes, and relaxing routines into daily life. Whether your dog is energetic and playful or more calm and cuddly, I always aim to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m very responsible, organized, and attentive to routines, instructions, and pet needs. I can also provide regular photo updates for peace of mind 🤍 I’m bilingual in English and French and happy to answer any questions before bookings! Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine since I have a dog of my own and love staying active outdoors. I enjoy going on walks, spending time outside, and maintaining calm, structured routines at home. My current schedule allows me to bring Moka at the office which only makes me a best fit during the weekend if you are looking for constant care. However, during evenings and weekends, which allows me to give pets lots of attention, playtime, cuddles, and regular potty breaks throughout the day 🐾 I always prioritize making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for like they are part of the family. I live in a clean, cozy home with a large backyard and make sure pets are supervised, secure, and given plenty of exercise, attention, and affection. I carefully follow owners’ instructions regarding routines, feeding, medications, and preferences, and I’m happy to provide regular photo updates (I know how it is). I also have experience with both dogs and cats and understand that every pet has different needs and personalities 🤍

About: I’m an animal lover to the core. Growing up, we always had both cats and dogs. I have experience taking care of pets, whether it’s taking dogs on long walks or tending to indoor cats with various temperaments. I have over 20 years of experience dog walking and pet sitting for friends, family and neighbours. I also enjoy teaching pets new tricks and commands, and making my own homemade cat and dog treats. I have a chatty, cuddly cat named Mowgli and have a deep understanding of the roles our pets play in our lives. Our pets become members of our family, with their unique personalities, quirks, and unconditional love. I have plenty of time to dedicate to play with your pets while you’re away! I currently work from home 4 days a week from Mon-Fri and am free on weekends. I’m available for boarding anytime, and for house drop-ins anytime. It would be my pleasure to create meow-gnificant experiences for your pet. I have a large home for your pets to roam around in, and a dedicated room for fur babies who might require their own room to sleep in at night. In addition, I have a backyard and live in a neighbourhood with many walking trails and parks outside my door. My friendly, affectionate cat likes to play with other cats and dogs of all shapes and sizes. You’re barking up the right tree; your four-legged friend will be in safe care while you’re out of town.

About: Dogs have completely stolen my heart for as long as I can remember and caring for them is truly my happy place. I grew up in a loving home surrounded by dogs since the day I was born, always with two large breeds in the house at once. As an adult I have raised two sweet bully breeds of my own, one of them being a rescue. Along with that lifelong experience, I spent several years working at a busy dog daycare where I professionally cared for dogs of every age, size, and temperament. I’m skilled in positive reinforcement training, teaching new tricks, managing group play, and creating safe, calm environments tailored to each dog’s needs. I am also certified in dog CPR and first aid. This background gives me the confidence to care for pups at every stage of life! From energetic puppies full of zoomies to senior dogs who need extra patience, gentle care, and understanding. I bring both heart and real knowledge to every visit so your dog feels safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. I work from home Monday - Friday, which allows me to provide consistent care and attention throughout the day. Dogs in my care are treated like part of the family, with regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of love and cuddles. Because I’m home during the day, I’m able to monitor their needs closely, notice any changes in behavior, and give them attention whenever they need it. I structure my day to include interactive play, calm cuddle time, and short walks to keep dogs happy, comfortable, and stimulated. Your pet will always have a safe, loving environment where they feel cared for and part of the household! I offer care both in my home and in your home, depending on what you and your dog are most comfortable with. No matter where they stay, every dog is treated with the same love, attention, and care. I understand that every dog and every situation is different, which is why I tailor my approach to meet their individual needs. Whether it’s in my home or yours, I make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and part of the family. I provide supervision, affection, playtime, and structure to create a happy and secure environment for every dog in my care.

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life, having cats since I was a kid, constantly being around dogs & finally having my own for the last 6 years, & 15 years of riding and training horses. I’m confident, attentive, and used to picking up on what animals need, when they need it. I work a shift schedule, so my availability isn’t the same every week, but I’m reliable, communicate early, and only take bookings I can fully commit to. I provide house sitting, walks, and drop-in visits depending on what your pet needs. I keep their routine as close to normal as possible with regular walks, feeding, play, and downtime, and make sure they’re comfortable and settled while you’re away.

About: I’ve been watching dogs for 7 years now. I love all types of dogs. But the first dog I ever got close to was a pitbull. He was the first over night dog sit/house sit. I ever did, the couple would travel often due to work. So I would dog sit about 2/3 times a week. I did that for about two years and gained a lot of experience with dogs due to that job. I also find dog walking a great way to stay healthy and active with out it feeling like a work out. I’ve enjoyed dogging sitting ever since I started and don’t plan to stop. So for now that I can’t get a dog of my own. I’ll just watch yours ! Just send me a message and ill send you my number so we can set up a meeting. Price is negotiable. I’m currently a full time student online so I’m looking to make cash while staying active and happy and what a better way than to pet sit. I’ve loved animal since I was a little girl so being around them always brings me joy and as you’ll see they take a liking to me as well. Even the pups you think won’t, always end up loving me as well. I live in a very spacious one bedroom apartment with a balcony alone so they always feel free and nice fresh air. There is a courtyard in my building that is dog friendly and three dog parks near my building as well. So they will always have room to run and be themselves. I am a full time online student so I would be spending my whole day with your pups. They would always be in great care with love and attention. I have a nice courtyard in my building that’s pet friendly and they can play and I also have three dog parks in my area. Where they can run around and meet new pups if allowed I am currently an full time online student so I would be with your pup the whole day. If you’d like to hear my specific daily routine let me know 😊 I usually stick to the routine a parent gives me so they can feel as comfortable as possible while staying with me or if I’m staying in their home.

About: What sets me apart as an animal sitter is a lifetime of experience and a genuine passion for caring for animals of all kinds. I’ve been surrounded by animals for as long as I can remember and have had the privilege of caring for them at every stage of life, from tiny babies to elderly companions. My experience includes everything from daily dog walking to specialized care for pets recovering from surgery or living with health conditions. I’m comfortable providing attentive support to senior animals, handling medication routines, and making sure each pet feels safe and cared for. Whether it’s active playtime, quiet companionship, or following detailed care instructions, I approach each pet with patience and understanding. Pet sitting for me is more than just a service—it’s an extension of my lifelong passion for animal care. I treat every animal as if they were my own, ensuring they feel loved, secure, and well looked after while their families are away. I am currently balancing a part-time schedule which gives me plenty of flexibility to dedicate time to your pets. My routine allows for consistent check-ins and playtime sessions throughout the week.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Wakefield

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Wakefield on Rover is $18.19 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

There are 1,370 sitters on Rover for Pet Sitting in Wakefield. About 85% of Wakefield sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or travelling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer poop breaks during a Wakefield stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover based on what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

You can coordinate how much supervision you want directly with your sitter. While every sitter’s schedule varies, here are some examples of supervision by pet care service:

  • Boarding or doggy day care: Many sitters can provide frequent companionship because they design their day specifically around the pets in their care or work from home.
  • House sitting: Your sitter generally stays in your home for the requested duration, which may include overnight care. They may step out briefly to visit other pet clients, but your home remains their primary base.
  • Drop-in visits or dog walking: These can be scheduled in 30- or 60-minute windows (and can be shorter or longer at your request) to help your pet receive dedicated attention and care during those specific times.

Interested in constant or 24/7 care? This service often incurs an additional fee but many sitters are happy to discuss this option with you.

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 Wakefield 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!

Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they do not have any disqualifying offences.

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 .

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.

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.

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.

Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a veterinary professional or offer other resources to help.

If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means Rover Support will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 86% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.
