“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!”
About: My experience comes from owning my own pets (goats,chickens,ducks,dogs,cats,bunnies,guinea pigs,hamsters) and petsitting (yes, even even horses, pigs, snakes and bugs). In previous years, I fostered for countless animal rescue groups and shelters, whether it was just volunteering or fostering puppies or senior dogs in need. I currently own a pitbull/lab rescue, Cali, who I trust with few people. I completely understand the anxiety when it comes to trusting someone new to watch over your pup. This is why I prioritize communication, forming relationships with both pets and parents, sending frequent updates and paying close attention to details/routines provided to me. After each visit, you can always expect to find water bowls to be clean and full, leashes hung up and everything just as you left it except this time with a happy and tired pup! Please reach out with as many questions as you'd like, I look forward to hearing from you! I have a dog of my own, so pet care is already built into my routine and something I look forward to everyday. I'm also available for last minute needs and do my best to be as flexible as possible as I understand plans can change :) How I care for your pet depends entirely on the instructions you give me, I strive to follow your directions as closely as possible to ensure you, your pet and myself all have a great experience that is as similar as can be to your routine with them. With that being said, each pet I care for is treated as my own and will have my full attention when I am with them.
“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!”
“We were very nervous to leave our ten week old puppy for the night, but Walker did such a great job with him! She took him out to potty frequently, played with him, and sent us lots of pictures and updates. Our minds were at ease knowing that he was in such good hands. We will undoubtedly be using Walker’s services in the future!”
“Laura took great care of my dog and my house. She sent lots of updates and followed all my instructions. Laura was very respectful of my home and left it as clean as it was prior to house sitting. I would definitely recommend using Laura for your pet sitting needs.”
“Karleen went above and beyond while caring for our home and pets. Not only did she handle all the basics flawlessly, but she also took extra time to make sure everything was truly taken care of, sending regular updates, checking in thoughtfully, and handling small details we hadn’t even thought to ask for. It was clear she genuinely cared, not just about completing the job, but about doing it well. We came home to happy pets and a house that was just as clean (if not cleaner) than we left it. That level of attention and reliability is hard to find. I wouldn’t hesitate to trust Karleen again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who truly goes the extra mile.”
About: I used to work at the Human Society of York County! I’ve worked and cared for all types of animals! Working with animals is a life goal of mine! I am currently mostly available any time and any day! Over this summer my schedule is pretty flexible, although I may be out of town some days! I can stay for a while and play with pets or stay overnight if needed. However you need your pets cared for will be more than doable!
About: I've taken care of dogs every since I was about 16 looking for a job. I would house sit or just walk family and neighbors dogs. I have always treated every pet like my own. Dogs need attention and love. I'm currently working part-time but in my home. I am able to play, feed, water, and love on your doggie as needed. Doggie love is the BEST. I feed, water, and take outside. I play about 10 minutes after eating so they can get that energy out. I love hard and make sure your doggie feels right at home.
“India was a godsend. Due to a family situation, our requested dates changed, changed again, then had to be extended. India was very accommodating and communicated quickly on how she could adjust to our requests. During our time away, she sent numerous pictures and kept us up to date on the daily activities with our dogs. Our neighbors commented on how friendly she was and how often they saw her out with the pups. When we returned home she had even taken a few Polaroids of the dogs with a thank you note (she’s quite the artistic photographer in addition to being a wonderful sitter!) We definitely plan to use her again for upcoming trips. We can’t rate India highly enough.”
“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 ❤️”
“Jacquelyn is amazing. She’s everything I’ve looked for in a critter sitter! She goes above and beyond. My critters all love her. She doesn’t just care for them, but provides love and attention. Having her watch them has enabled me to go on vacation and literally not worry about the care my critters are receiving, which is such a blessing! I feel confident they are in the best of care.”
“Yaphet was very polite and professional and took great care of my dog for the day. Archer loved him and I felt very comfortable leaving him. I really appreciate the care Yaphet provided for Archer and would definitely on him again!”
About: I am a dog mom to my 4 year old Lulu (black lab/bull dog mix). I also had a Great Dane and she was a big, gentle girl. I am reliable, a great communicator and will love your dogs like my own. I just moved to Rock Hill from Iowa and used Rover myself for my dog. I work full time from home. I have nights and weekends free so if you need me to take your dog(s) for a walk, coming over a couple times a day to let them out or pet sitting over night, accommodating your pets needs won’t be a problem. I will care for your fur babies as if they were my own. Keeping their regular routine and clear communication with the pet parents. I am looking forward to meeting you and your dogs.
“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! ❤️🐾🐐🐓🪿”

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 July 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 July 2026, there are 2,576 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.
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.
