Jordan was absolutely awesome!! I had to take a week long trip to visit my in laws for the holiday season and it always makes me nervous finding a good sitter for Archie, my 13 year old senior dog. Jordan was nothing short of phenomenal! I work from home and Archie is used to me being home a lot so Jordan shifted his schedule around to make sure that he was able to stay at my home as much as possible. He was super communicative throughout his entire stay, constantly kept me in the loop of things, and gave me lots of updates. Another thing I really appreciated was how punctual he was! I have had other sitters who took care of Archie and did just fine, but I really feel like Jordan went above and beyond. I told Jordan about cougars in the area and Jordan was extra careful to make sure that Archie was safe and secure in the home. The entire trip I had zero concern knowing that Archie was so well taken care of. Jordan cares about animals and it shows, and he also cares about his clients. I came home to a house that seemed even cleaner than before I left! Jordan is super kind, reliable, and trustworthy. He is the kind of sitter you want - especially if you have to take a trip for an extended period of time. I will 100% book with him again and recommend his services.

Britt did such an incredible job with our cat. It was evident our cat was in good hands by looking at photos and videos of the two playing and cuddling together. She went above and beyond in keeping our house clean and communicating. We will definitely be booking her again!

About: I have been an animal lover my entire life. I am 52 years old and began walking my neighbors' dogs and housesitting for friends. When I lost my soulmate Layla after 14 years, I found a big void in my life. Being around animal energy is so fulfilling for me. This is when I decided to offer my love to others fur babies. I feel an immediate connection when meeting my new friends, I look forward to meeting your loved ones! I recently moved to Lake Wildwood from Martinez where I had built up quite a clientele. I work remotely which gives me ample flexibility for play time, potty breaks, cuddles and exercise. I love having company when working. I am told I am a wonderful houseguest as I have so much respect and honor the responsibilities of being a guest in your home. I will leave your home exactly as you left it. I work in the Fitness Industry so your pup is in good hands whether they need a short stroll or a long hike!

While in San Diego for a quick little trip to see a concert I had Deborah come stay with my two dogs for the evening. She was very easy to communicate with, friendly and most importantly my dogs loved her! She sent pictures while we were out so I knew the dogs were calm and happy which really put my mind at ease. She is a lovely person and comes highly recommended! I only wish that I lived in San Diego so I could use her more often! Thank you Deborah!

He was amazing! Last minute call for a sitter after my previous sitter had reviews of no showing and did not confirm with me 48 hours prior to needing a sitter for our wedding day! He was easy going, likeable, 100% on task! Wish we lived closer to book him again!

About: Hi! My name is Ayla and caring for animals and people has been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember.I am currently a nursing student and someone i want you to feel comfortable in your home and with your pets. I have been fostering dogs since I was a kid, which gave me experience with all kinds of personalities—from shy rescue pups to high-energy dogs who love to play. I’m comfortable with dogs of different ages, sizes, and temperaments, including rescue dogs that may need a little extra patience. I’m also happy to send updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands! I am currently available full time and can do both over night and day time check ins! I do have dogs of my own that i will need to come and check on while my brother is not home but otherwise can accommodate to the needs of your pet! I am very comfortable with all types of dogs and behaviors and am willing to accommodate to the needs of your dogs! My dogs are both indoor and outdoor with a gated in yard. Do not mind crating, walking, or feeding tempered dogs as long as warned prior.

About: Hello! Thank you for taking interest. I am an animal lover who is trying to make some extra money doing something I care about. I've been housesitting for about 4-5 years for mostly dogs and cats, but I have had the occasional snake or fish, even a pig once! I'm very excited to meet you and your pets! I work 9-5 Mon-Thur and I have half days usually ending around 2 on Fridays. I usually will have time on my lunch break to come home and check on my own pups and make lunch so I can guarantee pets will be well looked after. I am always willing to take dogs on walks and hikes or just play at home, whatever makes you most comfortable! I cannot have any more animals at my own house since we have two already we don't have the square footage for another, but I am available to come look after pets in your home! I love when clients leave, or text, a detailed list of what they expect of me when watching their pets, it always gives me the peace of mind that I'm taking the best care I can of them with the routines they are used to!

Jillian was great! On short notice she was willing to come meet us and get to know our dog before we booked her for dog sitting at our house. She took our active dog on long daily walks to the park near our house. She shared updates and photos of the fun they had each day. We felt comfortable that our dog was in great hands. When she left the house she left in better than she found it! We would welcome Jillian back again!

I can definitely say that after being gone for eight days I was very appreciative for what I came back to. I've had my challenges with the dogs so for someone to come in a take over for a week seemed a little daunting however Yolanda came through with 5 stars... I have no doubt the dogs were well taken care of as all instructions left were meticulously followed and the dogs were definitely well cared for not to mention the house was cleaner then I left it. There's nothing better then coming back from a vacation with well taken care of dogs. Would definitely recommend for worry free dog sitting

About: I’ve had and cared for a small range of animals my entire life. We’ve always had some combination of dogs, cats and birds for as long as I can remember. I work as a teachers aide during the day but that certainly leaves me plenty of time to care for your pets needs. Any weekday I can be available after 3pm I will diligently follow any and all instructions to ensure the safety of your pet! I have an endless amount of patience and will be happy to accommodate any way that I can.

Amy is great. We have a high anxiety Frenchie that hates when I just leave the room let alone the house. Amy came for a meet up and he didn’t panic. We were gone for the weekend and he did great! He followed her everywhere without being overly nervous. So nice to know we can actually plan trips now !! Definitely scheduling Amy again !

Carrington is simply put an amazing dog sitter. You can feel it from the moment you meet her that this isn’t just a job to her it’s her passion. My dogs fell in love with her from our meet & greets to now getting to spend a full day of fun & play. I was dreading losing a day with my pups due to work but I can honestly say it was a blessing in disguise. Obi & Koda are ready to wind down after a long day of fun with their new best friend. She kept me informed from beginning to end, no anxiety or feeling of dread I know they were both happy all day long with the most adorable pictures as proof. Thank you so much Carrington!

FAQs for House Sitting - Lake Wildwood

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Lake Wildwood on Rover is $69.55 per night (as of June 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 June 2026, there are 842 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Lake Wildwood. 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 Lake Wildwood 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 Lake Wildwood 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 Lake Wildwood 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 Lake Wildwood. On Rover:

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% 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.
