“Shannon was fabulous! Our dogs (and cat) felt at home with her. She did a fantastic job taking care of the house, and making sure that our fur babies weren't too anxious with our leave. WILL use again when needed in the future! Highly recommend her for your pet needs!”
“Sydney was a great sitter! She communicated very well and took good care of my pup and place while I was gone. When I returned, my place was clean and my dog was healthy and happy! Would recommend to anyone! I have a large dog and she did great!”
“Ruby exceeded our expectations in caring for our Aussies. She came by to check in right before we left for our trip and provided us with regular updates and adorable photos. Our dogs were calm and happy when we returned, a testament to her exceptional care. She was diligent in cleaning up after herself and took the initiative to strip the bed and place the dog dishes in the sink. We couldn't be happier with her service and will undoubtedly book Ruby again for our future pet sitting needs!”
About: I grew up in a big pet loving family. I have taken care of lots of animals that have been my own and other peoples pets. I am comfortable walking dogs of all sizes, giving pets oral and topical medication as well as bathing and cleaning up after them. I currently work full time but am available in the mornings and evenings for dog walking, giving potty breaks and checking in on animals that may need a food refill. My main service will be walking dogs or entering homes to provide other animal caring services. I am good at communicating and can send pictures for updates on how your animal is doing.
“Toni was beyond amazing! She gave our dogs so much love and kept them company when we were gone. So much so that when we got home they were excited to see us for 15 minutes then slept the rest of the day! I am forever grateful for her and her family even more so for caring for my one pupper who had a health episode when in her care. They handed everything amazing and took amazing care of him. I would love to book her again!”
About: I’ve taken care of family and neighborhood pets since I was in middle school and people in my neighborhood have come to rely on me to check in on their pets regularly. I am also an Animal Sciences student studying at Oregon State University (but I’m home for the summer in the Olympia area!) hoping to become a veterinarian and have worked in some clinical settings, so I have a bit of a background in veterinary medicine to give your pets the best care! I’m currently shadowing at a veterinary clinic three days a week but other than that I’m widely available to take care of your pets! I generally shadow Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays (but days may change) from 8-5:30, but I have a lunch break from 12-2 every day and am able to let pets out mid day! Other than that I am largely available most other days! I treat every client's home with the same care and respect as my own. I carefully follow your pet's normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, playtime, and any special instructions. I'll make sure your pet feels comfortable and loved while you're away, keep your home clean and secure, and provide regular photo and text updates so you always know how they're doing. My goal is to keep your pet happy, safe, and stress-free in the environment they know best.
“Ehryn is truly exceptional! She played with Charlee, got to know her, cared for her. Ehryn also cared for our yard as we had arranged and left detailed written messages about her activities. Clearly a capable and loving companion for our pooch.”
“Amanda is a WONDERFUL pet sitter!!! Her calm, kind, and caring demeanor brought our kitty Hazel out of her shell. Amanda sent us photos from every visit and we could see that Hazel was happy and thriving. Amanda's professionalism, reliability, excellent communication and attention to detail gave us peace of mind while we were away.”
“Devyn watched my dog somewhat last minute while I attended an event. I got home later than expected and she had stayed with him, which means a lot to me. I would definitely have her watch my dog again. Thanks Devyn!”
About: Completed provided training and volunteered at the Animal shelter I’m comfortable providing insulin shots or oral medications as needed I can do basic hand and commands at your request to be continuous in the training of dogs. Often referred to as the animal whisperer with over 30 years experience of loving and caring for my own and other pets including cats, dogs, hamsters, fish, bearded dragon, goats, horses, cows and turtles. My calm demeanor can aid even tho most anxious of animals. I believe animals make our lives better and would welcome the opportunity to walk and play with your pets. Caring for them like they were my own but with your needs in mind. Let me know what you need and I’m sure we can work it out. Sprocket and I love being outside. Dog walks are awesome when he too can tag along. Only with prior permission. Rovering is how i spend my days with regular clients and fitting in others where feasible. Sprocket has a small backyard for play but prefers to go for car rides in his crate for new adventures. We play both indoor and out door games. correction is made with positive reinforcement.
“Bryan was awesome! He took really good care of our dog Bella. This was our first experience with hiring a dog sitter and it exceded our expectations. Bryan was very pacient, observant and kind with Bella. Bryan would give us updates throughout the day which was great. Definetly recommend Bryan he wont dissapoint!”
“All good with Ariana! The puppies Chidi and Ellie had a great time playing with Ariana's puppies, everything was in good order when I returned, no complaints from the puppies! Thank you!”
About: I have 7 dogs, and 7 snakes, a pet rat and a pet bunny. I also have 4 children. I'm an active person who loves to work with animals. I have a wide range of animal experiences. I went to school and got my vet assisting certificate. My dogs enjoy playing in our fenced in yard and playing with the kids who are always excited. During the summer my dogs and I enjoy bikejoring and in the winter if there is enough snow we go dog sledding. I do offer training services if you have an active pup who needs a "job" to do. In this house we treat any visiting dog as if they are apart of the family. I currently work full time, but it's overnights. I am home during the day with my children and pets. We spend a lot of time together playing in the new yards. At night my spouse is home. I have a fully fenced in yard, I have 2 house dogs and 5 outside dogs (in their own space.) Your dog(s) will be treated like family in our home.
“It was great having Kirsten watch Cooper again. He was truly sad to see her go! She took him on long walks, and was super flexible when our plans changed last minute. Coop's definitely looking forward to hanging out with her again!”
“Leah was amazing! I got so many pictures & updated and our dog seemed to be living her best life with Leah. Leah also came back and let our dog out once more when I told her our flight was delayed and she kept checking in to make sure we were home. Would absolutely book again & recommend her to others!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, house birds, falcons, rodents, fish, chickens, ducks, and plenty of other animals since I was a child and have helped care for both young and senior pets I’m currently unemployed searching for jobs, so my routine is really flexible, only needing to set aside time for job interviews and family. I currently have the ability for extended house/pet sitting needs. I do not have the ability for boarding animals currently, however with the services I currently offer I am gentle and respectful of all animals, their owners, and the owners property.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Wabash
Melanie is the best Rover. We seriously appreciate her communication and photos. She is genuinely loving and caring toward our pets. We feel at ease when we rarely travel knowing our pets are in good hands. Melanie is our hands down favorite! The pugs and kittens and chickens look forward to her visits!
Rayann is awesome!! She stayed with my dog for 5 days, 4 nights and followed all instructions to a T! My dogs and cat absolutely loved her, my timid dog warmed up to her very quickly. Rayann has a very kind and professional demeanor and gave me updates with pictures of my animals every day. She even did a couple of dishes I had left in the sink. If I could give her more than a 5 star rating, I would!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 537 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Wabash. 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 Wabash 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 Wabash 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 Wabash 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 Wabash. On Rover:
- 98% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
