“As usual, Katlyn is fantastic! She was available at short notice and took great care of our dog. Our husky absolutely adores kids, so I'm sure she had a blast playing with Katlyn's kiddos. Can't recommend her enough!”
“Jennifer took great care of my Norman. I arrived back to my home the way I left it - in fact, it didn't look like anyone was here! Norman was happy and healthy, which is what matters most.”
“Danny was wonderful with our 2 Frenchies.We appreciated him spending the night with them and they loved him. We received daily updates and photos. This was our first time having non family watch our dogs and Danny made it comfortable. We will definitely have him continue caring for our fur babies in the future.”
About: I have over a decade of dog-sitting experience. I am a compassionate, reliable, and responsible dog sitter who loves dogs of all sizes and breeds. I am available every weekend starting on Fridays. I am typically looking to help those who have weekend getaways and need someone to care for their pet because they can not take them with. I will care for your pets primarily by your rules and the energy the animal expresses they need for comfort. I have a nice sized backyard for animal leg room.
About: I’ve fostered dogs for a trusted animal rescue and had animals my whole life. Recently I saved the life of two French bulldogs when they wandered up to my house lost and almost dying of heat exhaustion. I returned them to their owner safely after giving them rest and shelter. I only work three days a week and when I am at work, my teenage son is around to let your dog out to potty and play with them. I can watch closely after your pet in my home and make sure they get plenty of play time. My teenage son is also home to help!
About: I have had dogs since I was ten. They all lived long lives and were happy and spoiled. I am known as the dog whisperer in the family. I also have dealt with turtles and horses. I am working part time so mostly available on the weekends. I can house sit but prefer drop ins. If all day in house care is necessary please message me and we can work out details. I will be caring for your fur baby in their natural habitat. If there are any special instructions you would like me to follow, I would be more than happy to oblige
About: I’ve been around dogs all of my life and have been taking care of them since I was 12, I can handle just about anything even the ones with super high energy! I’m very patient and willing, I just love animals honestly I’m currently unemployed so I will have plenty of time on my hands and can do just about anything at any time! My schedule is always open I have a cat of my own and 3 dogs currently, I have tons of love in my heart still for other animals and am a patient, willing person!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Wake Village on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 16 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Wake Village. 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 Wake Village 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 Wake Village 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 Wake Village 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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
