Very responsive! Rolled with the punches of an energetic dog and some 'surprises' from the cat! Happy to have her stay with the pets anytime.

Cadence has watched my babies twice now, and I am very thankful that I don't have to worry about their well being or her reliability. She follows instructions, which included managing behaviors and administering medications. The dogs always seem relaxed, which says a lot!

Isabel was great! She stayed overnight with our two pups. Sent pictures and updates and the home (and bed) were left just as we left it. Would love to have her back again any time. Thank you!

About: I have had a dog within my household my entire life. Family and friends have asked me to watch their fur babies. I have provided drop in care and overnight care. I am a college student, so my schedule is very flexible to be able to give your fur babies all the love and attention they deserve/want! I can easily crate an animal when needed, I am always watching the clock to make sure I am on time for feedings and medicine. Walks are something I love to do if the animal permits. I am also comfortable transporting dogs, weather that be to a daycare or grooming appointment.

I cannot say enough great things about Kristen! She put so much work and care into my dog Riley this weekend. They went on outings and day trips, they played, and watched Riley's favorite doggy TV. Riley was not only well cared for, but I can see that he was also loved and enriched during his time with Kristen and that just means the world to me. Kristen was also incredibly responsive, amazing taking care of our home, and sent great photos and videos. 100% hope to book again!

Presley was incredibly communicative and professional throughout the entire booking process and was always quick to answer any questions we had. This was our first time using in-home care for Cooper, and she made us feel completely comfortable and confident leaving him in her care while we were away. She took such wonderful care of him, every photo update she sent had him literally smiling! It was clear he was happy, relaxed, and well loved the whole time. We will absolutely be re-booking with Presley and highly recommend her to all of our friends and family looking for someone to care for their fur babies!

About: Growing up on a farm, I’ve dealt with all kinds of pets. Specifically with dogs, I’ve raised a litter of puppies, trained a bird hunting dog, and trained three dogs for my parents. My hobbies typically involve dogs, and I’ve found myself to be very patient with all dog personality types. I’m great with puppies, senior dogs, and adult dogs. I currently attend Vet School at KSU. My school schedule is typically the same throughout the weekdays, but the hours allow me to spend a lot of time with your pets in the mornings and evenings. I sometimes get done in the early afternoons as well! I’m available everyday of the week in the later part of the days, and most weekends! I would love to be able to share my great amount of down time with your furry friends! I like to follow the instructions of the client when asked to care for their pet. If pets are allowed to roam free while alone, I always ensure there are no potential hazards for them to get into, and any rooms that are off limits have doors closed. Personally, I offer multiple opportunities to go outside for bathroom breaks and to play throughout the day. I use excitement and calmness when interacting with the pet to keep them engaged. When the pet makes it clear they want attention or to play, I give it to them and do not pick a phone/computer over them. The dogs I grew up with, were on a strict time feeding schedule, so I understand the importance of feeding other pets on their schedule as well.

About: I’m a military member an active volunteer in the local animal rescue community. I’ve fostered multiple dogs and cats before they found their forever homes, giving me experience with a wide range of temperaments — from high-energy working breeds to shy or anxious rescues. I understand how important routine, structure, and consistency are for pets. Whether I’m providing house sitting, drop-ins, or walks, I maintain your pet’s normal schedule to keep them calm and comfortable. I’m comfortable administering simple medications, handling strong or active dogs, and caring for multi-pet households. My own two pets are family to me, and I treat every animal in my care with the same level of attention and respect. You can expect clear communication, prompt responses, and regular photo updates while you’re away. I maintain a structured and consistent daily routine, which allows me to provide dependable, attentive care. I’m available for drop-ins, walks, and house sitting on weekends and weekdays after 4pm, with flexibility for early mornings when needed. Pets in my care receive regular exercise, feeding on schedule, and intentional engagement throughout the day. I prioritize maintaining your pet’s normal routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. Safety is my top priority — all introductions are done slowly and intentionally to ensure compatibility. I always follow your specific care instructions regarding feeding, exercise, and supervision. In your home, I maintain cleanliness, security, and clear communication throughout the stay. You can expect regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing.

About: As a pet parent myself, I know how scary it can be when searching for someone to care for your babies! I believe in creating a calm and caring environment when I am present with others pets and care for them as if they are my own! I have been raised around cats & dogs of all different personalities my whole life! I work part time 8am-12pm on Monday-Friday and I am able to care before work and anytime after! Weekends I am usually free all weekend! I like to meet clients and their pets prior to my booked service so I can create a calm environment with my arrival. When I am providing my services I adjust my approach depending on how things went at the introduction, some animals need higher energy while others need a calm entrance.

About: I’m Mark. I live in Manhattan with my wife, dog, and 16 year-old cat. I’ve had Dalmatians (high energy, stubborn) since I was a kid. I have experience with companion dogs, working dogs, elderly dogs, and have even helped my wife train our current pup (Pepper) as a registered therapy dog. I’ll make sure to take good care of your four-legged friends whether it’s on walks, drop-ins, or house sitting if needed! I recently left the Army and am figuring out what I want to do next. This means I’m free in the mornings and afternoons (9-3) weekdays and weekends for walks and drop-ins. I can accommodate house sitting on weekends with some advance notice. I take my own dog on hour-long walks most days, and she gets plenty of extra exercise playing in my fenced backyard and helping me dig holes in my garden. I understand all pets may not be up for that much activity and can adjust based on your needs!

About: I have taken care of dogs, cats, and parrots! I love going on walks for dogs and would love to go hiking with your dogs (or cats if they like walks)! I have experience giving insulin shots to dogs and I am good at hiding medicine in treats. I am very flexible and can often show up at any time of the day! For late night checks and overnights I ask for a minimum of 8 hour notice. I currently only provide services in the client's home or walks. I do not currently have the capability to watch dogs in my own home but I am able to do overnights and last minute walks and checks late in the night if needed!

About: I’ve grown up on a ranch with many dogs, horses and cows. So I can even help out with large animals if need be! I also have a friendly puppy and horse of my own here in Manhattan. As a Kansas State University student and member of the K-State Rodeo Team, caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I have experience with pets of all sizes and personalities and understand the importance of consistency, patience, and attention to detail. My schedule is flexible, and I am available for walks, drop-in visits, and overnight stays. I treat every pet like my own and provide regular updates so you can feel confident while you’re away. I have much experience with all types of dog personalities and nothing surprises me. I can easily crate dogs or give them a bath. I run most days for a work out so I can even take your furry friend on a run!

About: Since I was 20 years old, family neighbors, and friends have relied on me to walk, feed, water, and pet sit their dogs. I’ve taken care of dogs that are older and require meds as well as younger dogs. I don’t have a dog of my own yet but hopefully Rover will get me one step closer and be the final push I need! I am currently a full time student with a part time job but have Wednesday’s and Friday’s off and usually work mornings anyway. I will try my hardest to make most times for walks or drop in visits work but if I can’t I will let you know ASAP! I can feed and water your dogs, keep up with a possibly complicated night time routine, and take them out whenever they need to when I’m with them. I’m also able to take them to specific places if needed to go on walks, whether that be a fenced in park, a dog specific park, or just around your neighborhood!

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: Hey there my name is Krystal, thank you for visiting my profile and considering me for your Pet care needs! If you’re like me, your pets are family members. When you can’t be home for them, whether it’s for work, vacation or other obligations, you want your best friends taken care of with the same love and attention you give them. I do my absolute best to make sure each dog that visits my home has a fun, relaxing and stress free stay. I like to consider this a vacation for them and strive to make them feel like they are at their second home. I am an experienced, life-long dog owner and lover. Whether your dog is shy or bold, young or senior, large or small, I will provide loving care for your best friend. My family consists of myself, my husband, my 2 children ages 9 & 12 and my 2 dogs Polkadot (10) & Tobi (<1) My home has a dog door that leads to our fenced backyard so your dog will have plenty of room to run and play. I like to let dogs sleep wherever they are most comfortable and do not require them to be crated at night so long as they are well behaved, potty trained and do not cause a disturbance to others. Guests will have free roam of the main areas of my home during their visit and will be allowed in bedrooms with supervision. All dogs will be separated at mealtimes so that they can eat without disruption and so that dogs don't feel the need to guard resources and also to avoid the chance of anyone getting an upset stomach from eating anyone else's food. Access to fresh water is provided around the clock (Please let me know if your dog is on any type of fluid restriction or if they have a recommended cut off time so appropriate measures can be taken). For dogs that free feed they will be offered food multiple times throughout the day but I am unable to leave food out as to ensure other dogs won't be able to consume it. A quick meet & greet is almost always required prior to a new stay. Occasionally a trial daycare or overnight may be necessary to make sure your pup is a good fit for longer stays. - For the safety of my family, pets and boarding/daycare guests that may be in my care I can NOT keep any dogs that are known to be aggressive in my home, if your dog shows any aggressive behavior at drop off or during their stay that can not be controlled or corrected, services will be subject to termination and your dog will be required to be picked up or alternate care arrangements be made. In the event that a stay is terminated due to aggressive, destructive or otherwise unsafe behavior, refunds will be given at my discretion. -Bring it list- • food• leash• collar/ harness• pet bed/blanket if they have something special they prefer. *I'm so very sorry but I can no longer accept new clients with the following breeds: GSD or Pit Bulls.

About: I grew up with dogs and cats and have taken care of them since I was a little girl. I was very close with all my pets. Growing up I was a main caretaker for two dobermans and a cocker spaniel, teaching me many responsibilities in petcare. I am a full time student. I take part time online classes during the summer, and only have small time commitments throughout the week, regarding my health. This leaves me with a lot of flexibility to tend to any of your pet care needs! My top priorities are safety, trust, and creating a positive environment for your furry friends! I aim maintain trust by communicating openly with you, providing regular updates and photos during our time together so you can see how your pet is doing. I focus on creating a comfortable and stimulating environment tailored to your pet’s needs. Whether it's engaging in playtime, ensuring a routine, or providing plenty of love and attention, I aim to make your pet feel at ease while you're away. Your pet's happiness and well-being are my top priorities, and I look forward to giving them the care they deserve in familiar surroundings.

FAQs for House Sitting - Wamego

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Wamego on Rover is $27.75 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 133 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Wamego. 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 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.

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 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!

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.
