“Evelyn watched our dogs for a week while we went on vacation. Our dogs absolutely loved her and will be excited to see her again in a few weeks! Evelyn followed our instructions perfectly and went above and beyond our expectations.”
About: My boyfriend and I have two small dogs, a Pekingese and a Shih Tzu, and I’ll be sure to treat your furry family member with the same care and affection I’d want for my own. We have a small, fenced-in patio where pets can safely go potty and enjoy some playtime. I’m happy to keep you updated with photos and messages so you have peace of mind while you’re apart! I currently stay home while my boyfriend works, so my schedule is very flexible! I’m available most days and times and can give your pets plenty of attention, companionship, and care throughout the day. I’m happy to work with your pet’s usual routine to help them feel comfortable and at home while you’re away! We have a small, fenced-in patio where dogs can safely go potty, get some fresh air, and enjoy playtime. My boyfriend and I have two friendly small dogs, a Pekingese and a Shih Tzu, who could be great company for your pup! I want every pet in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and loved, and I’ll always respect their individual needs and routines. If your pup is more comfortable staying in their own home, I’m also happy to provide drop-in visits to check on them, give them attention, and make sure they have everything they need. I’m happy to follow your instructions and send photo and message updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away!

She was reliable, responsive, and caring, and I really appreciated her willingness to meet ahead of time to learn about my dogs' needs and routines.

About: Growing up with all kinds of animals (dogs, cats, horses, birds, etc) I couldn’t picture my life without furry friends. Not only do I have tons of experience working with all sorts of animals, I have experience with housesitting pets as well, as it was always a side job for me. I have lots of free time. Im off Friday through Sunday and am off work by 1:30 on the days I do work. I have lots of time to care for Any pet! My home does have a fenced yard and my neighborhood had a great walking path. I’m always tedious on insuring the pets needs are met. Happy and heathy are the best way to go!!
About: I was an intern at Fairgrounds Animal Hospital for two years, so I have plenty of knowledge beyond just being a sitter. I have cared for over 20+ dog breeds. Along with puppies. Not just dogs, but cats, reptiles, birds, and fish. I am a loyal sitter to 4 families, whose dogs I have cared for since they were puppies. I have sat for 3+ dogs at a time. I am great at ready animals social cues, energies and worries. Pet care fits great into my routine. I have been sitting for 8 years now. I always include extra time for dog care in my schedule. I do not have kids, so other than my career, I do not have major responsibilities. (Other than caring for your fur baby!) I am flexible and free! In terms of caring for pets in someone elses home, I am greatly experienced and trusted. The 4 families pets I care for, I sit at their house. I respect boundaries, and belongings. I am willing to build trust as well. For my own home, I have no pets and share my house with one roommate. My yard has grass and fenced in. Inside my home, there is a lot of space. My house is more minimalistic. I am open to the clients seeing my living space, prior to bringing their fur baby over.

FAQs for House Sitting - Wadsworth
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 549 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Wadsworth. 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 Wadsworth 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 Wadsworth 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 Wadsworth 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.
