“Shylina is the best!! She quickly engaged with Brodie — he settled into his normal routine with her right away. Shylina sent great pictures, daily. I had total peace of mind while I was away, and have already booked for my next trip 😊”
“Bre took such great care of Harley and my home while I was away this weekend. She provided great updates and photos with very prompt responses. It’s very apparent her love and knowledge of animals, especially dogs. Thank you again Bre !”
“Sarah was a fantastic sitter. She was kind, communicative, respectful of our wishes, more than helpful (washed animal dishes without our prompting), etc. I cannot say enough positive things. Her pictures of our animals clearly showed she spent time with them inside our home and in the yard. She engaged with them and made them feel safe while we were out of town during some big storms. We will absolutely be future customers.”
About: I’ve loved dogs as long as i can remember, I’ve been around dogs my whole life, had a Labrador Retriever growing up. My passion really began when neighbors would start asking me to dog sit for them. I always knew I wanted to do something with animals (mainly dogs.) a family friend told me about Rover & I immediately knew I had to become a sitter. I am very trustworthy and reliable & easy to reach! I currently do not have any pets in my home which makes me a great sitter if your dog isn’t a fan of other dogs/animals! I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time to play with your dogs & care for them. & I can take whatever time needed to watch your dogs if you preferred I stay with them 100% You can always count on the fact that your dog is SAFE. If you don’t have a fenced in yard, I will keep your dog leashed unless you say otherwise!
“Sarah was absolutely amazing and exceeded our expectations. She easily connected with our dog and understood his needs. We look forward to working with her again. We cannot recommend her enough.”
About: I’m a caring person who loves dogs and grew up with a lab. I have experience with taking care of friends puppies and senior dogs. I love to play hard with them so they can sleep good for you! I can walk dogs before I go to work and, take them out immediately when I get back home. I will also make sure they are being fed at the right times. I’m happy to transport pets and have them stay at my apartment for up to a week. I will provide long walks with them on leash and follow procedures at a client’s home. Making sure that the pet is comfortable is a top priority for me.
About: “I’m experienced and confident in caring for both dogs and cats, including walking, feeding, and maintaining a clean and safe environment. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and needs, whether it’s an active dog or a shy or independent cat. I’m reliable, responsible, and focused on making sure every pet feels comfortable and well cared for.” Friendly) “I currently work full-time at Great Clips, but I have enough flexibility in my schedule to take on pet care responsibilities. I enjoy staying active, so dog walking and pet visits fit naturally into my daily routine, and I always make sure I have the time to give each pet proper care and attention.” “I adjust my care based on the specific service, but I always prioritize safety, trust, and a positive environment. I carefully follow feeding, walking, and care instructions, keep spaces clean, and ensure pets are always supervised and secure. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and routines, and I focus on creating a calm, stress-free experience for their pets.”
“I loved her! -- the dog loved her! Great first experience with Chantil!! She was wonderful with our English Bulldog, who is a bit spoiled and stubborn at times!!! ; ). In addition to the typical "I do what I want" bulldog nature, Miss Cleo has been healing from a surgery and needed a little extra attention because of it. I felt very comfortable leaving her in the hands of an experienced Vet Tech, who seemed to genuinely care about Miss Cleo's well-being. Our pooch was instantly at ease with Chantil (her warm and inviting persona was easily read even prior to our first meeting). I was very appreciative of Chantil's flexibility with my last minute needs, she could not have made things easier for this busy single mom who was trying to be in five places at once. I would highly recommend Chantil's services and will be using her again.”
“We booked Levi to watch our pets while we were away for our wedding weekend, and we honestly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! He went above and beyond — coming to our house twice beforehand so our dogs (and even our cat!) could get comfortable with him. While we were gone, Levi took amazing care of our pets, including handling medications for our dogs with health issues, keeping us updated, and making sure everyone was happy and healthy. We came home to a clean house and happy pets! It gave us so much peace of mind during such an important weekend knowing our pets were in such capable and caring hands. We’ll absolutely be booking Levi again — highly, highly recommend! 🐶🐾”
“Grace did a great job with my two dogs. First time out of town with them no problem! Both are in training so still have puppy behaviors at times and she navigated them well. Lots of pictures and updates. Will book again. Recommended!”
“Kallyn is a consummate professional and fantastic at what she does! This was our first time booking with Kallyn and I think we’ve found our forever pet and house sitter. From our initial consult, where she came to our home and spent over an hour getting to know our dogs (I was impressed with the questions she asked from medical needs to our dog’s preferences), to the numerous photos and updates throughout her stay, you can tell she cares deeply about each animal and it was evident our pups enjoyed every minute with her. The peace of mind that provided me was worth every penny and then some.”
About: I’ve had experience caring for a variety of animals, including dogs, cats, chickens, and horses. I’m comfortable handling animals of different sizes, ages, and temperaments, and I always prioritize their safety, comfort, and well-being. My experience includes feeding, providing fresh water, walking dogs, cleaning up after pets, administering basic care, and giving animals plenty of attention and affection. I am reliable, patient, and attentive to each animal’s individual needs. Spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. My flexible job allows me gaps of time where I can tend to daily duties. I’m a college-aged student who is available to assist with your pets’ needs. My pets and those I take care of are treats really and with as much love and care as I can share. To keep things interesting, I will take my dog Rocko to new and fun locations for walks. I enjoy treating him with grooming and many treats. Rocko is like my little baby, and I am so excited to grow the number of relationships with furry companions!!
About: I have raised a french bulldog since 8 weeks old. If you are familiar with dogs, these are some of the most stubborn, and specialized breeds out there. She is now a healthy 7 year old, who loves to chew on everything, play fetch and get treats! My experience raising her will help me take care of your furry friend. In addition to that, I have cared for many dogs small to large in the setting of dog walking, house sitting and boarding. My dog is my entire world so I know how important pets are to the family. I can ensure you that your animals will get the highest level of care and love while at my home. I love to send updates with pictures throughout the day! I’m a traveling healthcare worker currently located in Boulder, CO. My husband travels with me and works from home 24/7 so someone will always be with your pup! I’m available Monday-Sunday. Would love to show your animals some love! My husband and I love doggies so we will be giving LOTS of love and they will be interacting with my frenchie, most of the time. I have a spacious apartment with access to many trails nearby. The complex also has a fenced in dog park.
“Bailey sat my furry monsters for an extended stay and it’s like I wasn’t even gone! I received frequent updates and check ins and she even took Badger to see his friends at the store next door.”
About: I have been taking care of animals for over 15 years now with experience with any age or size of dog. I am very flexible with your or your pets needs. I offer all services available. I am home full time so I am able to be with your dog and provide potty and play breaks several times during the day. I have a fenced in yard and two friendly dogs to keep your dog company! I am home full time so your dog will never be alone.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 222 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Wanamingo. 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 Wanamingo 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 Wanamingo 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 Wanamingo 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.
