“Reiterating my previous review in which Andrew was amazing with Luna. Probably the most reliable and communicative dog sitter I’ve ever booked. Highly recommend him and will use him again if I am in the area.”
About: Dogs have always been part of my life. Big, small, and everything in between. Growing up with pups taught me how to love, care for, and understand their unique personalities. I love them all and can’t wait to meet yours! 😀 I have hybrid work environment so I'm home two out of the three days a week if needed. I'm free on most weekdays and weekends. When caring for pets, whether in my own home or in your home home, I prioritize creating a safe and comfortable atmosphere. I ensure regular exercise and playtime tailored to their specific needs and preferences, fostering both physical and mental enrichment. Additionally, I will strictly follow any dietary requirements. Constant monitoring of their health and behavior allows for prompt action in case of any emergencies, and I maintain open communication with the pet owner, providing regular updates and pictures.
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for many different pets. Growing up, I helped raise two family dogs and cats so I’m comfortable with both indoor pets and larger animals. For 13 years I was the proud mom to my Shih Tzu, Bruno, who taught me just how much love, patience, and daily care go into being a great pet parent. Though he recently passed🙏, the experience of caring for him still shapes how I look after every animal in my care. I’m reliable, attentive, and treat every pet like my own. Whether it’s walks, playtime, quiet companionship, or just making sure they’re comfortable and happy while you’re away, I’m here to give them the kind of care you’d want for them. I currently work remotely so I am able to give your pet all the attention they deserve and need. I can leave any time for walks and vet appointments. I’m a responsible and attentive caregiver who takes pet safety seriously. With years of experience caring for dogs and cats, I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions and adapting to each pet’s individual needs.
About: With 5 years of dedicated dog sitting and care under my belt, along with the initiative to rescue and nurture countless dogs through my own shelter. I bring a profound passion for animals to every furry friend I encounter. Whether it's training puppies with patience or providing specialized care for seniors, my commitment to excellence ensures that your pet receives the utmost love and attention they deserve. Bonus: I also provide fresh homemade boiled chicken with sweet potatoes, rice and veggies seasoned with turmeric dog food if you’d like! Pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily routine, aligning perfectly with my 24x7 availability. This ensures that each furry friend receives the time, attention, and affection they deserve, enriching both their lives and mine. In my home, I ensure a safe and comfortable environment for pets, with regular walks, playtime, and feeding according to their schedule. Plenty of affection is always provided. When caring for pets in my client's home, I closely follow their pet's routine, provide companionship, administer any necessary medications, and keep the home tidy. My goal is to offer personalized care and attention to each pet, whether in my home or theirs, ensuring their well-being and happiness. Bonus: I have a fenced backyard with ample sunlight!
“Alison has taken care of my 3 dogs overnight a few times now. They’re a lot and she does great! I come home and my dogs are happy and clearly have been loved while I’m out. She also handles one of my dogs eye medications for which I am very grateful!”
About: I have two pets of my own, a cat and a dog. I know the needs to take care of both of them and would find it easier to handle yours. Worked at a pet hotel for a couple weeks and dealt with a variety of dogs (even cats) and know that each pet can be different and I'm ready to accustomed to your pet to ensure they feel comfortable and safe! I currently work at a nightshift so I would prefer to work during the evening. Depending on my schedule I would be able to work nightshifts on Tuesdays, Saturdays and Wednesdays. My dog is very playful and would enjoy having a bit of fun with yours! My cat is shy to newcomers so it might not interact with your pet.
About: I’ve cared for animals for years and know firsthand how important it is to find someone you trust completely with your furry family members. With a professional background in healthcare, safety, clear attention to detail, and sticking to established routines are second nature to me. Whether your dog needs a high-energy walk to burn off steam or your pet prefers a calm, quiet environment with steady companionship, I tailor my care to keep them comfortable and happy. You can always count on prompt communication and regular photo updates so you have complete peace of mind while you’re away. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pet! I work full-time Monday through Friday, so pet care fits seamlessly into afternoons ,evenings, and weekends. My routine is highly predictable, meaning your pets always get on-time, dependable visits. Safety is my top priority. Before every stay, I secure your preferred vet details and 24/7 emergency clinic locations. I practice active environmental awareness on walks, ensure leashes and harnesses are properly fitted, and double-check all home entry points. In an emergency, I remain calm, communicate immediately, and prioritize your pet’s well-being.
“Charlie is amazing!! He took great care of our dog Kira, ensuring she was well-fed, exercised, and given lots of attention. He was attentive to her needs, especially given her sensitive stomach, and kept us updated with regular check-ins. We felt completely at ease knowing she was in good hands. Highly recommend! Let me know if you want any tweaks!”
About: I’m new to Rover! I’m responsible, attentive and love spending time with animals. I’m very active and enjoy going on walks, so I’d love having a furry companion along with me! I know how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pet, and I’ll always treat them with patience, attention and lots of love. I’m also organized and dependable, so you can count on me to follow your pet’s routine and keep you updated while they’re with me. I work a 9AM-5PM weekday schedule, so I’m most available in the early mornings, evenings and on weekends. I’d especially love to build a few regular walking or pet-sitting routines nearby. My weekends are generally more flexible for longer walks, drop-ins and pet care. I’m very attentive and take pet owners’ instructions seriously. I’ll follow your pet’s normal feeding, walking and care routine and make sure they’re comfortable and safe. I’m also happy to send photos and updates so you know how your pet is doing while you’re away.
About: I've grown up around MANY cats and a dog most of my life. I’ve also helped out my family and friends were taking care of their fur babies when they’re on vacation. I currently work a 9 to 5 but I am available before or after that time. I can also stop by in the middle of the day. I’m also completely free on weekends! I live alone now, but I grew up living with anywhere from 3 to 9 cats, 1 dog, 2 birds who are rescues that (as you can imagine) have very different personalities. We had a set routine for them which I believe gave them enough stability and consistency to let them flourish and be comfortable in the spaces we shared. My family and I made it a priority to keep our cats healthy, happy, and well taken care of.
About: Note: Please ask if I am available at the times needed. I may put unavailable due to working at night or early in the day. I work in a first aid job so ask please. I keep the calendar updated as best I can. I have experience from pets in the family small and big. Cats and dogs. Only 1 official year under my Uncle Growing up I preferred to be around animals. In the family, someone has a dog, I hang out with them first. As long as they say it is fine. I was even spoken to from older family members. They grew up with sheep, goats and chickens. More animals as well, along with dogs. On how to approach an animal. Their behaviors. Me being thorough helps me out if they have meds etc... Just a day to day account is enough. For dog walks please tell me if they do not like something. Birds, noises and more. The important thing is for you to see if you can trust me with your pet. If it will not work let me know. This is due to you knowing your pets best! I am willing to learn how to care for small medical needs. I only ask you show me what to do. I am working on getting dog first aid certified. I have done Insulin shot, show me first though. Next to my name I put discounts given, below is an example. The first thing I do is same price for 15 and 30 min. drop-ins. I do not put an increase on it. Ex. $18 for one day for 2 pets. $9 each for 2 dogs/cats (It is $18 each for drop-ins, cats are $16 each no discount) This is so I can have each dog/cat recorded. I enjoy taking care of pets, to the point people think that a dog is mine. I enjoy walking a dog and keeping an eye out so they can relax. Always down to watch a dog when I have time. I understand from having my own 2 cats how picky they are. Please let me know what your dog does usually. Sitting by the door for the bathroom and more. I like to know energy level and if they love to chill or go out.

About: I’ve had animals all my life including cats, dogs, and I had a rabbit once. I’ve helped take care of sick dogs and cats, and have taken care of puppies and kittens. I was also apart of my animal club in high school where I got to donate to animal shelters and interacted with animals in that setting. I have a flexible schedule, so pet care can easily be a regular part of my day and week. I really enjoy spending time with animals and am happy to structure my routine around their needs, whether that means walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping them company. I want every pet in my care to feel comfortable, loved, and well taken care of while their family is away. I care for every pet as if they were my own! I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while sticking to their normal routine as much as possible. I’m happy to follow any feeding, walking, medication, playtime, or bedtime instructions you provide. I also keep a close eye on their behavior and make sure their space stays clean and comfortable. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel completely at ease.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Wallington
A last minute emergency left us without someone to care for our pup, Noah while we were on vacation. We tried a boarding facility but it stressed him out so much. Andrew was an absolute hero and took care of Noah with such short notice. He really went above and beyond and Noah loves him! We were able to enjoy our vacation without stressing! Thank you, Andrew!
We had Debora stay in our house with our two dogs. She did such a good job that I think our dogs might be sad that their staycation with Debora is over. We got updates and photos every day. The dogs’ schedule was adhered to completely and we feel that they were very well taken care of. Debora is also a very sweet, caring person and we look forward to have her watch our pups again in the future!
Marisol was excellent! Although there were minor communication mistakes, she definitely made the effort to resolve those issues! She was very respectful and kind. Took great care of my home in my absence. Definitely very respectful and kind of other people’s belongings, pets, etc.
Terilyn is absolutely wonderful! I have very shy dogs, and I was nervous about how they would handle a new sitter, but Terilyn was patient and intuitive. She came up with creative ideas to help them feel comfortable and safe in her presence. Her communication was top-notch; she sent frequent updates that really put my mind at ease. I’m so happy I found her and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful, professional sitter!"
Kristine is the most caring, kind, and genuinely incredible person we have ever met on this app. The way she takes care of our puppies is truly amazing and she goes above and beyond to make sure they are happy and that my husband and I have nothing to worry about! She updates with photos all day, texts how they are doing and what they are doing, and answers her phone the second we text her. It is so obvious how much she adores animals, and our puppies adore her. We are so lucky to have found Kristine! Would recommend to anyone, and already booked her to watch our puppies many more times after her first visit. What a wonderful person!!!! We are blown away!

FAQs for House Sitting - Wallington
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Wallington on Rover is $22.2 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 19,065 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Wallington. 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 Wallington 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 Wallington 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 Wallington 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 Wallington. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
