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.
“Yani is great. We loved her from the minute we met. She took great care of Buzz. We had just lost Yogi a few days before and Buzz was really depressed and struggling. She managed to cheer him up and be there for him. She stayed at our house and stayed in touch with us through out our trip. I would definitely have her watch Buzz again and highly recommend her.”
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: Have raised and owned pitbulls, German Shepard, Dalmatian, experience with huskies. Great with all breeds. Walks of any duration, none too long or short. Any and all special instructions and dietary needs will be followed...trust! I currently have open availability and can take requests at any hour, any day. Am willing to do light travel. Just send a request and we'll make it happen! I take my two dogs out for no less than 90 minutes a day each. I have a fenced in back yard for little breaks when I'm in and out of the house and play with them frequently.
“The dog was happy and the place was standing. In the end that's all that matters but a decent person who communicates well with an honest smile on their face and a personality to match makes the whole thing run smoother.”
“Megan is amazing, she came on time, followed instructions, took Athena out at night and in the morning as instructed, not to mention she stayed up all night with Athena🥹 which was very sweet of her, but not necessary. She sent us updated pictures and gave us a nice little summary before she left the house. We definitely will be booking with her again, thank you so much!!!”
“Elissa was awesome. Everything you want for your pet, Elissa gave. She was loving and caring for our dog, Gus. She was so attentive and took care of the house too. She shared photos and video and asked questions. We were so at ease with her taking care of him that we stopped checking in even. He is a German Pointer and so he loves snuggling as much as exercise and we got it all and could not be more grateful to Elissa.”
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 taken care of dogs since I was a kid. I have rescued my dogs while traveling through South America since 2022 and have been taking care of them. The old one is 5 yrs old and the second one is 2yrs old. I work remotely so I spend all day with my dogs except for when I have to run errands. This is why I can fit drop visits and walks throughout the day since I work from home. I have a fenced backyard if dogs need to play outside but also if they need to stay in a crate I can help with that. I have experience with walking small- large dogs.

About: I have the unique perspective of being both a "dog person" and a "cat person". I grew up caring for my lively Jack Russell Terrier and I now live with my two cats. I have a deep love for all animals and I am highly attentive to their needs and health. As a college student, I have a very light schedule over the summer, so I have plenty of time to spend caring for your pets! I am very attentive to your pets' needs. I have experience safely walking dogs of all sizes, letting them enjoy themselves while still keeping them secure. I am cautious when it comes to keeping the house secure when checking in and making sure they are eating well.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Wallington
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!
James was wonderful with Brio. Our much loved dog gets anxious and grumpy when we leave him in someone else's care, so we were delighted to see videos of Brio playing in the yard early in our trip. James was just the reassuring presence Brio needed! We were truly appreciative of his care, and look forward to having him back.
My husband and I just came home with 2 puppies and were worried for our first day back to work. Michael made sure we had nothing to worry about. He texted us all day, sent photos, updates, provided above and beyond care to our puppies and is the most caring and kind person. We are so thankful we found Michael and are so lucky to have such a wonderful person to watch our pups with full care and attention for our 10 hour work days. He makes sure our puppies are safe and loved and we would recommend him to anyone needing excellent dog care.
Cannot recommend Izabella more highly! She stayed in our home with our 5 year old Cavachon and within a couple of days they became besties. Izabella took great care of him, and she sent pics a couple times a day and was very responsive via text as well. When we saw a pic of him curled up on her lap, we knew we found a wonderful sitter as that is Sonny's highest compliment. Thanks again, Izabella!

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 July 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 July 2026, there are 18,876 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.
