“Makayla took such great care of our pups and our house when we were out of town! She was always very responsive and sent pics throughout her time here. We will definitely use her again; our pups loved her!”
“Cacy was the best! I was so worried about leaving my young and active dog while I was out of town but they had so much fun together. I was able to travel with peace of mind that she was getting all the love and exercise she deserves. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone.”
“We had such a great experience with Lilly! She took wonderful care of our dogs while staying at our house and kept us updated with photos. She took them to the dog park, gave them plenty of cuddles and attention, and went above and beyond to make sure they were comfortable and safe! Especially when the storm came through. One of our dogs can be a little intimidating at first, so we were especially impressed by how quickly she gained his trust. She understood his personality, gave him the space he needed, and before long he was comfortable with her. Which is the sort of peace of mind that can be hard to come by, so that was greatly appreciated! It was obvious that she genuinely cared about them, and we came home to happy, stress free, well loved pups. We would absolutely recommend her and will definitely book with her again!”
About: Hi! My name is Bentley and I am a Pre-Vet/ Animal Science Major at Kansas State University. This means I will be doing dog sitting in your home. Some qualities that set me apart from other sitters is my level of expertise. I have had dogs and cats my whole life and have always been the one to take care of them. However, I also have spent 3 years growing my experience around animals at multiple jobs. I have worked at a doggy daycare, service dog school, and a vet clinic. All of these jobs have allowed me to learn more about the animals and how to properly take care of them regardless or age, size, or breed. I would love to spend time with your pet and give you the comfort you deserve from a pet sitter! Since I am going into my freshman year at K-State my class schedule varies. However, I will always be flexible with hours needed and what works for me. I plan on getting a part time job as well while also ensuring time for your pets! I am very flexible with how I take care of your pets depending on what they are used to with you! However, all pets will be treated with love just like they are my own!
About: I’ve always taken care of my family dogs growing up and walked neighbor dogs when needed. Have enjoyed cats in my life as an adult I’m retired and look forward to caring for animals as my second act. I love seeing happy parents and pets when they come together again. I would love to get to know you so I can learn your pet needs and loves, if cuddles or being independent. Give me a call!
About: My unique combination of experience, training, personality, and approach to pet care can set them apart from other sitters and make them a preferred choice for pet owners. Pet care can include feeding, providing water, exercise, grooming, cleaning up after, and spending quality time with pets, and can be incorporated into a daily or weekly routine. Pet care in a person's home or a client's home typically involves feeding, providing water, exercise, grooming, cleaning up after, and spending quality time with pets.
“Emily was fantastic and I would definitely use her again for both pet and house sitting. She had to deal with a few difficult things that popped up with my cat and handled it like a pro. She’s also a great communicator.”

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 Wamego 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 Wamego 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Wamego 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!

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 .
