“I highly recommend Madison for anyone looking for trustworthy, reliable, and loving dog care! Madison took care of my pup + bird and did an amazing job. From the initial meet-and-greet to the regular updates during the stay, Madison was professional, communicative, and genuinely enthusiastic about spending time with my boys! Book with confidence, knowing your beloved pup will be in great hands :)”
“When Jeffery came over to meet us and our dogs for the first time, we immediately knew that we could fully trust him. Our dogs could be handful but we knew Jeffery can handle them in calm and warm way. One of our dogs had a big surgery and needed to be supervised, so we asked Jeffery to watch him and other dog while we’re gone for a day trip. When we came back, dogs looked so relaxed and they were acting like they knew him for a long time. We felt so relieved to have someone reliable staying home with our pups.”
“Skyler is top notch. Right from the start, communication was great. Unfortunately my dog decided to be a big jack@$$. He acted up right as I was packing to leave but petting on my bed. He ended up nipping Skylar and being a grumpface, making her job more difficult. She handled it like a pro and even given the option to finish the stay, with minor adjustments she gladly continued. I very much appreciated her commitment. 5 stars from me!”
“Great dog and house sitter! I would absolutely have them over again! Very communicative and responsible. Left our place very tidy. Pepper got lots of attention and exercise.”
“Willow did a fantastic job staying in my home with my Ziggy. She had clear and quick communication. She left the house very tidy and Ziggy enjoyed his time with her. Thank you Willow!”
“Morgan did a great job getting odins energy levels down and checking in throughout the day. She clearly has a love a for animals and the ability to care for my high energy husky. I would highly recommend her for anyone looking for good dog care.”
“Philip was a wonderful pup and house sitter. We have two Aussies with big personalities and a little Havanese with her own challenges. Philip was willing to do a meet and greet prior to booking - it was immediately apparent that he was a skilled dog trainer with the approach of love and mutual respect. We instantly trusted him with our home and pups and look forward to booking his time again.”
“Natalie is a wonderful dog/house sitter. She is very mature and responsible and can be relied on to do what she says she will. She is a great communicator who responds to texts/call promptly. Her love for animals is obvious, and my Boston loves her, especially posing for all the photos Natalie takes and sends while I'm away. She left my home in great shape. You won't find better!”
“2nd time working with Lauren. She was available last minute (and despite being super busy and a holiday) to stay with our 2 Saint Bernards. She's thorough on instructions and strives to ensure our boys are well taken care of. She was also very flexible with the potential that we might be delayed an additional night which was very appreciated.”
“It's obvious our pup was super comfortable with AJ. Lots of the pics they sent showed him happily chewing on his toys, laying on their laps, and enjoying the local trails. AJ was communicative and flexible around our travel plans which made traveling during the holidays a lot less stressful. Would def use AJ again.”
“Hugo was great with our dogs while we were away for a week in France! Very communicative and sent lots of pictures. We felt like our dogs were in good hands and we could relax.”
“Karla was amazing with Suds! I had way too many instructions, and he can sometimes be difficult so I was worried he would annoy a sitter. Karla listened to all my requests for updates and made Suds very comfortable. Would definitely work with her again!”
About: I’ve had my own pets my entire life. My first cat, I got when I was three years old and she lived until she was 26. I have years of experience in Montana as a pet sitter. I just moved to Bellingham! I am currently taking courses online to get my EMT, and can work from anywhere! My animals are extremely self-sufficient. Since my animals can be left alone for longer periods of time, I can be there for yours more! I am extremely attentive to animals. Constantly snuggling, giving scratches, taking them on walks. And I can keep to a strict feeding schedule! There will never be a lack of love!
“Both dog (Lani) and house were very well cared for! Stone is a great communicator, sent pictures without prompts during an 8 day sit. Bonus left the house super clean and secure. She also facilitated a dog pick up to friends mid-trip for us. I have referred a friend to her doggie care and will be booking Stone again!”
“Kathryn was fantastic! She watched our dog, Oakley, for 4 days and treated our home with total respect. Our dog immediately warmed up to Kathryn at our meet and greet and was very excited to see her when she arrived to start her sitting. She showed up on time, was great at communicating, and provided daily pics (which we really appreciated). We highly recommend her to anyone needing a reliable and caring sitter. We would certainly book with her again.”
About: I've been around animals since I was 2, they've always loved me and the feelings mutual! Since then I've fed, groomed, walked, trained and simply chilled with both cats and dogs of all ages. I am currently a full time student whilst looking for a part-time job, yet I still have time left to care for your animals! Drop in visits only, anytime past 3pm, everyday except Fridays. I may be willing to discuss boarding! Unfortunately, I can't bring animals into my dormitory, so I'll need to get familiar with your home and your pet's behavior! We'll go on walks, play inside, train a lil bit or any additional notes/request from you- the parents!
About: Hi! I'm Mary Beth! I work for NOAA currently as a scientist. I'm looking for a productive way to harness my love of pets. My very first job was dog walking while on my paper route. I have walked, watched, and trained dogs for as long as I can remember. The neighborhood I grew up in knew me as the go to girl for pet sitting while on vacation. I am ready and willing to be of service to you and your furry family. As a fish biologist I love animals of all shapes and sizes. I am very excited to get to know your pet whether it be boarding or just a quick walk. Can't wait to hear from you and care for your pet.

“Both Selah and her partner have a clear deep caring for animals. They will go above and beyond for your pets, and will literally go the extra mile to make sure you energetic dog gets the attention and exercise that they need. If you are looking for someone to care for you pets with the same love that you give them this is the person for you.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Van Wyck
Clara was amazing! From the very start, she was passionate about taking care of our two doggies. Her communication was exceptional, updating us a number of times throughout the day with pictures and details. We always felt that our home and pooches were in good hands. Came home to a clean house, happy pups and 2 terrific sketches of the doggies. She's very thoughtful and kind. We will definitely be asking her back in the future! Thanks Clara!
Kelcy is *actually* a dog whisperer. My dog, being a vizsla, can be a bit chaotic and thus isn't everyone's cup of tea. She is however very sweet, especially with the humans who are part of her pack. She literally instantly loved Kelcy, which has become increasingly rare for her as she's gotten older and more particular. I felt completely comfortable leaving Nootka with Kelcy, fully trusting that she would be not just safe but also happy. Kelcy took *such* good care of her , I'm not sure Nootka even minded my absence 🥲.
Lori was absolutely amazing. Will 100% be going back to her. She took such great care of my dog and two cats. Lori took a lot of time at our meet and greet asking questions and greeting my critters at their pace. Her gentle and patient demeanor with my dog gave me so much confidence leaving her in her care. I recieved daily updates and photos of my happy and relaxed critters. She also took lovely care of my home and I cannot thank her enough!
I would give Kami 6 stars if I could! She is a wonderful pet sitter, and I always feel completely at ease leaving my two dogs in her care. She stayed in our home for 4 nights while we were away and followed all of the instructions we left for her, and we came home to a clean and tidy house. Our dogs can be a handful at times--one is 12 and the other is 3, so they have very different needs, and she is so great with both of them. It’s clear that she genuinely cares about the pets she watches. I would highly recommend Kami to anyone!
Emilia was an incredible sitter for our two high energy dogs. She took care of our big malinois and our crazy puppy, taking them on multiple long walks and to the park, as well as giving them lots of love. She accommodated our very last minute request, working around her schedule for us. She followed our instructions and was super communicative, sending frequent pictures and updates on our pups. Your pets will be in very good hands with Emilia!
Matthew exceeded expectations! Not only is he professional, but it’s also clear that caring for dogs is a full time passion. My pup, Cooper, loved him and Matthew even took time to train him. I will definitely be booking again and recommending him to all my pet owning friends. Very grateful to have you in the area Matthew!
Lindsey did a house sit for me this time. And she is just a gem! My cat is always so happy and content when she stays with him. I can genuinely tell he was well loved based on how relaxed he is upon my return. She also did an amazing job caring for my golden retriever— giving him love, medicine, and good play time. I felt safe and was relieved to have her watch my pets and home. Thank you Lindsey! You’re the best! 💕
Harper is absolutely wonderful! Harper watched our spunky lab for a few weeks over the holidays and she was exceptionally well cared for. We loved the clear communication, regular updates, and cute photos. It was obvious that Langley was having the time of her life on Harper's farm. We'll definitely be booking with Harper again soon.
Summer is an absolute amazing find! My senior cat recently had some health issues, and we had a trip planned that was causing me a lot of anxiety. From the moment we met her, we knew both our cats were in good hands. She communicated just as much as I asked for, and I came back to both Ollie and Dakota happier than I have seen them after a trip. Highly recommend!

FAQs for House Sitting - Van Wyck
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Van Wyck is $33 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $50 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 645 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Van Wyck. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% 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.
