Christine is amazing! She is incredibly down-to-earth and a true animal lover. All of my cats came out to greet her, which absolutely never happens on the first visit. She was very responsive, shared lots of great photos, and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. I highly recommend her!

This was the second time Lindsey took care of my cat Sweetie both times went great. I received photos everyday of Sweetie playing with his favorite feather toy. He was happy to see me come home but was not clingy like he had been depressed at my absence. He wanted to play with his toy followed by a cuddle and then more toy time. Great experience for both Kitty and me.🐾

We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! Guadalupe was reliable, caring, and treated our pups with love!!! We got regular updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were out of town camping. Our dogs were happy, well cared for, and clearly loved all the attention. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving sitter! We will definitely be using Guadalupe again!! We've already recommended her to neighbors!!!

Teri was great! She understood all my "quirky" cat mom requests, was communicative, and and available to check on the kitties when there was extra concern. Going to book her again for another trip right meow!

About: I’ve cared for a variety of pets of all ages, from energetic puppies to independent cats. I am comfortable caring for senior pets, ensuring they get the proper attention and care they need- as long as instructions can be provided to maintain routines and medical needs. I treat every pet as if they were my own, providing gentle care, companionship, and a safe environment. Wether it’s keeping up with a puppy, a shy cat, or providing extra comfort for an aging pet, I would be honored to be trusted with your furry family members. I currently am a full time Software Engineering student at Loyola University! Currently, most of my coursework is online other than Tuesdays and Thursdays. This limits my availability on those days for additional pet care. My flexible online schedule allows me to dedicate plenty of time to care for pets throughout the week, ensuring they receive attention and care they deserve. I can easily accommodate feeding schedules, playtimes, and check-ins, making pet care a natural and enjoyable part of my routine. I provide a safe, comfortable, and pet-friendly environment for all animals in my care. My home has a large yard with fencing where I can comfortably walk one’s pet outdoors while remaining safe. I have two cats and one dog in the home, so I do carefully manage introductions and limit interactions if needed to ensure all pets are comfortable. For dogs, I can crate or pen if needed, providing them with personal space, or allow them to roam safely on a leash outside while ensuring they are well cared for inside. For cats, I prioritize an stress-free environment, providing personal space and ensuring quiet areas to retreat to. I understand feline body languages and can understand shy, playful, or independent cats to ensure their comfort.

Nancy was such a kind, punctual, and professional person. I would highly recommend her for all your pet needs. She took the worry away from someone new stepping in, while my regular dog visitor was on vacation. I will definitely use her again.

About: Although I am only 19, I have had pets for as long as I can remember. My family and I have a total of 6 pets- 3 dogs and 3 cats! We have fostered and adopted our fair share of animals, all with different stories! One of our dogs is an amish labor rescue, one of my cats is blind, and another only has 3 legs!! While all of our pets now come from a different and difficult situation, it has been a reward and privilege to love and take care of them. I am familiar with hyper and untrained dogs as we have had 2 since they were puppies and they still are a bit crazy to this day! I am currently job searching so I can’t say what my availability will be like for the future but as for now I have no other commitments and am available whenever!! I am a very detail oriented person and realize that each animal has their own unique personality and routines. I am always open to learning about your fur babies and what they like or dislike. I love that each pet has their own quirks and I love being able to form relationships built on trust and respect!!

About: I've taken care of dogs my whole life. I know every dog is unique and needs unique care. I want to make sure your dog is treated with care and understanding while you're away! I have experience giving oral medications (both pills and liquids). I currently have an open schedule for summer! Whether you need a dog walk or multiple visits for feedings while you're away, I've got you covered! I want to build a trusting relationship with you and you're pets. For home visits, I will take time to ensure your pet is eating and drinking well, make sure litter boxes and crates are clean, and each pet knows I'm there to make them feel safe and loved. Is you're pet a little shy? No worries! I'll give their privacy after making sure everything is taken care of.

About: I've spent over a decade volunteering and working with animals across the U.S., Puerto Rico, and the Middle East — from cat shelters to training my own dog to service-dog level in obedience (sit, here, heel, center + more). My home is very clean, calm, and routine-based. Whether it's a dog who needs structure and adventure or a cat who needs a spotless litter box and quiet affection, I create a safe, happy, healthy environment and treat every pet like family, with daily photo updates. I’m currently a stay at home dog mom to a 4 month old puppy, I spend most of my time around the house. I also take the pup to the dog park / beach every day or every other day. I have a fenced in yard for my pup & I’ve worked her recall enough now that I don’t have to worry about her. She’s super trained inside and outside the house.

About: From the beginning, my wife and I have shared a love for pets, especially dogs. I formed a home where our first child was a furry, four-legged friend. This beloved first canine child strengthened my love and taught me profound parenting skills, and I have passed that legacy on to our two teenage children and our three-year-old son. I formed a home where the love for our dogs is genuine and sincere. That's why caring for your puppies is my responsibility, and I take it very seriously. I have extensive experience caring for all types of dogs, breeds, and ages, and we carefully study their different and unique personalities and needs. I treat them with love and respect. From the moment your dog enters our home, he/she becomes another member of my family. Rest assured that he'll share unique and memorable spaces with each member of my family and will be a part of my family routine without exception. My home is a loving, personalized, safe, and warm home for your dog. Depending on your needs, I accommodate and strive to make our four-legged friend feel at home with us.

I have a very high maintenance cat (17, blind, won't eat, etc) and Mackenzie took such good care of her! She checked in twice a day and sent very detailed updates to let me know how Gracie was doing. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing the Gracie was safe and being well cared for by someone that really truly cared about Gracie's wellbeing. I'll definitely be rebooking with Mackenzie!!

Liz took the best care of our two dogs. One of our dogs is a bit nervous and she was great about the needs of each dog with different personalities. It was our first time to be away during the night without the dogs and they were perfectly fine with Liz making several stops throughout the day. We will definitely ask for Liz to care for our dogs in the future. She’s very good about communicating and prompt with all the requested visits. I highly recommend Liz. She is so nice and professional.

Christine was awesome, highly recommend. She watches our pug Buddha and is on time and has great follow up. He needs extra care because he requires insulin injections and she exceeded expectations.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Wadsworth on Rover is $20.33 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 3,803 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Wadsworth. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Wadsworth stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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 .

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Wadsworth. On Rover:

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.

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.
