“Brittany was absolutely amazing with Sammy! She took such great care of her, making sure she was walked, fed on time, and comfortable the whole time I was away. I really appreciated the regular updates and all the sweet pictures she sent, which gave me peace of mind. Brittany is incredibly reliable, attentive, and clearly has a lot of love for animals. I highly recommend her and will definitely be reaching out to her again in the future!”
“Justin was great as always! Took care of our fur babies and even watered my garden and took the trash cart to the street for us while we were away! Definitely recommend!”
“Phillip was so great with our large (90lb) 10 month puppy Muggsy this weekend. He took the time to do a meet and greet beforehand to make sure Muggsys needs and routine was met. He gave Muggsy lots of affection, playtime, and active walks throughout his stay, and worked within our training routine to keep him on his best behavior. Our home was cared for and clean when we returned as well! Thank you, Phil!”
“I haven’t taken a vacation in 5 years… I was a foster mom for Kittens when I lived in Boston, now living in South Carolina. I have several little fur babies that I don’t trust with many people they are my children. When I got onto Rover‘s website, I read review after review after review. Jill had all five stars and for very good reason. She’s very attentive to my animals, very kind, professional, took pictures every day of the babies, kept me in the loop when she was leaving the house and when she was in for the night. I hired Jill to stay for a week in my home while I was away and she worked her full-time job during the day. My mind and my heart was at ease thanks to Jill. She’s great!!!!”
“Madison was awesome helping my wife and I out with a last minute booking! She was great with both the dogs and cats and spent far more time with them than was expected! She took great care of our home and sent lots of cute pictures while we were out of town. We wouldn’t hesitate to book her again and hope to do so in the future!”
“Jessica “Eliora” did an amazing job taking care of our fur babies while we were on vacation. I had such a peace of mind knowing a caring and responsible person was taking care of my home and pets. We got daily reports and loved getting pictures. She followed instructions and kept my pets in their daily routines. She grabbed my mail and my home was nice and neat when we returned. Upon our return home we also found a sweet treat for us in the fridge which was super thoughtful. We definitely will be rebooking for all of our upcoming trips this year.”
About: I’ve help taken care of friends and families dogs since I was a child. I can bathe the dogs and have fun taking them on walks. I'm currently just working from home and occasionally doing jobs so I have a lot of free time. I am in love with traveling so that is what my goal for this coming year is. im looking to go to all fifty states pet sitting. I will play with your dog and take them for walks during the day and one at night . I will feed your pets on what ever schedule you like.I will also cuddle and love your pet like it was my own !
“Niki’s care for our five critters was fantastic! The kitties appreciated staying at home as did the dogs. My job as a “pet mommy” was much easier. Hauling five critters to boarding with all their food parceled out and just the wear and tear of transporting a 130 pound dog, two kitties and two Chihuweenies, well it was much much easier on all of us. Nikki did a great job of keeping everyone on routine, happy, walked and fed.”
“Christy was great to work with! She was an excellent communicator, sent frequent pictures and updates, and took great care of Hank. Would definitely use Christy again and highly recommend.”
About: I’ve worked with dogs and cats alike for my whole life. My primary experience is with fostering rescued animals (mainly pit bull and bully breeds who were victims of abuse or neglect). I have lived with three dogs and one cat throughout my life, and am very accustomed to caring for both! I am currently working part-time, so I will have plenty of time to visit and care for your pets! My nights are flexible, so I will be available for house sitting and overnight pet sitting. I have cared for animals my entire life, so your pets safety is my number one priority! Depending upon the service, I will do whatever I can to ensure your pet’s comfort and care.
“Alina took the BEST care of our cat Sammy. Every morning and night, she sent us pictures and updates on how Sammy was doing. Our cat got sick a couple days before she arrived in our home to watch Sammy so he really didn’t have an appetite and wasn’t drinking as much water. Alina put so much effort into getting Sammy to eat and drink. She even went out a got food that she thought he would like and he loved it. I’m really so grateful for everything she did for Sammy. Through the videos and pictures she sent of Sammy, you could tell how much he loved her. Alina washed everything she used before we got home and cleaned up. She is so caring, loving, and will love your pet as her own. I’ve always been nervous of leaving Sammy with a sitter when we go out of town, I never felt nervous leaving Sammy with Alina. She is so reassuring and great. Thank you Alina for taking such great care of Sammy and our home! 1000000/10 stars!!!❤️”
“Christina was able to help me on very short notice and stayed at my home for an entire week. From the moment she arrived, I felt completely at ease knowing my animals and home were in such capable hands. She was excellent about sending photos and updates throughout my trip, which gave me so much peace of mind. When I returned home, the house was spotless, and all of my animals were happy, healthy, and well cared for. One of the biggest challenges for me is finding someone who is experienced with a variety of animals—not just cats and dogs, but also goats, chickens, guinea fowl, and geese. Christina handled all of them with confidence and care. She is incredibly trustworthy, dependable, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. I am beyond happy with her services and cannot recommend her highly enough. If you’re looking for someone who will care for your pets and home as if they were her own, Christina is the one! ❤️🐾🐐🐓🪿”
About: My name is Conner and I’m a college student at Winthrop University and a lifelong animal lover! caring for animals has always been a big part of my life, whether that meant helping my mom rescue and care for stray cats or looking after family pets over the years. More recently, I’ve been helping take care of my girlfriend’s dog, who has an autoimmune disease and requires extra attention, patience, and consistency with medications and daily routines. I’m a firm believer that every pet deserves personalized care and should be treated with as much love as I would give my own. Whether your pet needs a walk to burn off some energy, a drop-in-visit while you're away, or someone dependable to keep them company in the comfort of their own home, in your guy!! I’m currently a full time college student so I’m free all summer and I would be very flexible around my school schedule in the Fall and Spring! I am very confident in my ability to make friends with every pet! I’m very active and love a nice long walk but I’m also happy to chill on the couch or floor if you have a more laid back pet!
“Maggie is awesome, my old man dog is very easy going but my hyper growing 8 month puppy I was worried about we had never left him with anyone , he loved her she spent time outside with him to make sure he got his energy out sent us pictures morning and night, when I came home my house was exactly how I left it which is hard to do with hairy children so I believe she swept my floor. She is amazing looking forward to using her next time ❤️”

FAQs for House Sitting - Van Wyck
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Van Wyck on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 2,535 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Van Wyck. 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 Van Wyck 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 Van Wyck 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 Van Wyck 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.

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.
