“We were very pleased having Chris here at our home to watch our Corgi Mickey. Mickey wasn’t feeling his best and Chris kept us well informed and sent photos of Mickey to reassure us that all was well. We plan to have her come again the next time we need to go out for a long period of time. Chris was awesome!”
“Heather was great with our 75 pound yellow lab, Whitby. Simply said, she is a fantastic dog/home sitter. Heather being present allowed my wife and I to truly vacation without concern for how our pup is being cared for. We look forward to working with Heather again soon.”

“Shanisa is a very thorough, professional and caring sitter! Upon our first meeting she had some great questions for me about my dogs, and had me ensure that their rover profiles were fully complete so that she had all of the info needed during her stay. She treated my home with respect and left everything just as she had found it, if not better.”
“Jessica did a fantastic job staying with my dogs while we were out of town. She was very thoughtful and regularly sent updates and pictures. I will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Gavin dropped in on my pup who is post-surgery and needs to be kept quiet. She loved Gavin! He sent several photos and descriptive updates, which I always appreciate from sitters, and especially appreciated for this visit. We also have shy cats who came around to him. Will definitely book again!”
“Jackie was wonderful! She accommodated our request last minute—and sent great pictures of our puppy! If I were to travel to Wilmington again, I would feel very comfortable asking Jackie to help us again!”
About: I have a house where I can provide individual or group care for dogs. I co-own a dog named French Fry, who has been a significant part of my training experience. I am available for boarding on weekends, starting Saturday morning and continuing until either Monday or Tuesday evening. Additionally, I have availability during certain holiday periods. I have a partially fenced-in yard and a metal crate available for dogs if needed. I follow any instructions that pet owners provide. I have a peace and calm environment for dog care.
“Terry is simply the best. If we could rate 6 stars, we would. She spent a tremendous amount of quality time with Izzy. This was our first long trip away from Izzy our dog in quite a while, but Terry relieved our anxiety with daily updates, videos etc. She is a great communicator. Terry is incredibly thoughtful and an amazing dog sitter who bonded with Izzy. She also took great care of our house which was immaculate with an extra special touch upon our return. Terry was amazing, and we and Izzy look forward to her next visit.”
“Faith was wonderful with our dogs. Very patient and understanding especially with a couple of my dogs more trying personalities. The dogs were well cared for and the house was just as we'd left it. I would definitely recommend Faith.”
“Nick and Katie did a great job watching our 2 dogs and cat. The dogs accidentally ate some chocolate and Nick / Katie quickly took them to the vet. Their prompt response helped avoid a much more serious outcome.”
“Lesley was wonderful! Very communicative and detail oriented, making sure she kept a good routine for our dog Lucy. She also did so many helpful household tasks like bringing in our mail and packages (some large) and refilling our dog food container for us before we got home. Would absolutely book again!”
“Rachel stayed with my pups for five days, and happened to be available at the last minute, which was a huge help. She was timely, communicative, and my dogs took to her right away. I felt very comfortable leaving the dogs in her care. She was responsive, sent super cute pics of the dogs and gave them their meds as instructed. She was even willing to help me get one of the dogs’ meds refilled. Overall, she was a pleasure to work with, and I felt very confident in her capabilities.”
“Bobbi was 1000% amazing! She was very communicative and put us at ease while we were away knowing our pups were so well cared for all the time. Bobbi sent several photos and took great care of our home. Bobbi left a daily record of events. Our pups were clearly cared for and we will definitely trust Bobbi again! I would give her 10 stars if I could!!”
“If you look for the Best pet sitter ever, look no further Sharielle is the BEST!!!! From booking to sending updates and of course taking care of our Princess Sharielle did a phenomenal job!!!!!!! Thanks Sharielle for taking care of me I miss you already Princess”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for as long as I can remember. I’ve had my own dog, Oreo, for the past 5 years, so I’m very familiar with daily routines like feeding, walking, playtime, and making sure pets feel safe and loved. In addition to my own dog, I’ve also helped take care of friends’ and family members’ pets, giving me experience with different personalities, sizes, and needs. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely love being around animals. I make sure every pet gets the care, attention, and affection they deserve, whether that’s keeping up with their normal routine, giving them extra playtime, or just making them feel comfortable while you’re away. I’m available Monday through Saturday after 4 PM, with full availability on Sundays. I also have some days off, which gives me additional daytime availability during both weekdays and weekends. My schedule is consistent and flexible, and I’m happy to work with you to find times that fit your pet’s needs. Whether it’s walks, drop-ins, or extra attention, I’ll make sure your pet feels comfortable, safe, and well cared for. I have a safe, loving home and experience caring for my own dog, Oreo, along with friends’ and family’s pets. I can easily crate your dog if needed and will make sure your fur baby gets plenty of attention, playtime, and care while they’re with me.
“We have used Rover before , but this was our first time using Olivia and we are so pleased. She took really good care of our two boxers for three days, they were happy to see us, but not stressed out at all. You can tell that they were love! My house was just as neat when I left it, as long as she says yes we will definitely be using her again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Edgemoor
I and my dog Mosquito couldn't have been happier with Nina. I was traveling for two weeks and this was the first time Mosquito and I would be separated. He is a rescue and has separation anxiety but not with Nina's company and dog/house sitting services. The transition for him was seamless. Highly recommended!
Oh my gosh!! Sharielle is absolutely amazing!!! She went above and beyond with communication (I mean she’s the best at everything). My pup stresses so much when I’m away and he was so happy and comfortable! If she’ll have us I’d absolutely reach out to her again! No brainer five stars, I’d give more if I could!
Nick was extremely patient with our very recent rescue who was experiencing quite a bit of anxiety when we had to leave her for an out-of-town obligation. She gave him a pretty hard time for the first 24 hrs but he persevered and surely won her over! Thank you! We are very grateful for his great service!
Gavin dropped in on my pup who is post-surgery and needs to be kept quiet. She loved Gavin! He sent several photos and descriptive updates, which I always appreciate from sitters, and especially appreciated for this visit. We also have shy cats who came around to him. Will definitely book again!

Bobbi sent several photos and took great care of our home. Bobbi left a daily record of events. Our pups were clearly cared for and we will definitely trust Bobbi again! I would give her 10 stars if I could!!
Erin watched Sonny for me again and was amazing. She was on time, kept Sonny busy which he loves, walked him multiple times, and just over all great. Sonny absolutely loves spending time with her and I would definitely book her again. Erin is very knowledgeable about dogs which is great ! We love Erin and have nothing but good things to say about her!

FAQs for House Sitting - Edgemoor
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 4,715 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Edgemoor. 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 Edgemoor 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 Edgemoor 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 Edgemoor 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 Edgemoor. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% 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.
