Always on time. Spent quality time and played with my dog. Made sure she had plenty of belly-rubs and attention. Also made sure she had fresh water before leaving

Ashley was wonderful going above and beyond by washing food plates and keeping us updated while we were away. Our cats were happy and healthy when we returned from our trip, would have Ashley watch them again. Highly recommended.

About: I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and providing them with the care, attention, and companionship they need. I am patient, responsible, and dependable. Whether it's walking, playing, keeping them company, or following their daily routine, I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and happy while their owners are away. I currently work part-time, so I have flexible availability throughout the week. I am available on weekdays after work and on weekends. I will make sure your pet receives plenty of attention, exercise, and care during every visit. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow your instructions, keep pets in a safe environment, and provide regular updates with photos. I will treat your pet with patience, kindness, and the same care I would give my own.

About: Ensure your pet feels safe and loved even when you're not home. My dedicated pet sitting services allow your furry friend to stay in the comfort of their own space. From regular dog walking to attentive care for your pets, I cater to their needs while you're out of town or just away for the day. With a focus on individual attention and affection, your pets will enjoy a stress-free experience. Book with me and give your pets the care they desereve! Pet care fits naturally into my routine, allowing me to give my full attention to each animal I look after. I visit clients’ pets before I start my work day and return directly afterward to ensure they stay on their regular schedule. On weekends — and on weekdays when I have extra time — I go beyond the basics by adding extra playtime, enrichment activities, or simply quality companionship for pets who value one-on-one attention. Whether they’re energetic explorers or calm cuddlers, I make sure each pet feels supported, stimulated, and loved every day their family is away. When caring for pets in their home, I make sure their routines and comfort come first. I provide fresh food and clean water, ensure they have proper potty breaks, and clean up any soiled areas to keep their space tidy and stress-free. Each visit includes 30 minutes to an hour of engagement — whether that’s active play, enrichment activities, or simply relaxed cuddle time depending on what the pet enjoys most. I also handle medication when needed, maintain clean litter boxes, and pay close attention to their overall well-being. My goal is to make every pet feel secure, comfortable, and loved while their family is away.

About: I have taken care of dogs pretty much all of my life. I will give your Pups real one on one care, affection and presence. I am responsive, consistent and someone you can count on in a pinch. I am patient and calm. I will also be able to give you updates. I am retired, so my daily routine will be based around your needs or wants for your pup. I am not juggling a job anymore, so I am open for bookings to help give your dog structure and companionship I do not have the capability, at my home, of having pets at my home due to not having a fenced in yard for their protection.

About: I’ve worked at a dog hotel, and I’ve pet sat for both cats and dogs. I’ve never met a dog that didn’t like me, and I’ve never met a cat that didn’t tolerate me. I’m a student pilot, so some days I have about 2 and a half hours where I won’t be available. Otherwise I have a very flexible schedule and can spend all day or any time caring for your pet. I don’t have any pets of my own, but I’m good at making anyone’s pets friendly with me. I’ve done daily check-ins and up to two weeks staying at someone’s house to keep their dog active and happy.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Wanatah

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of July 2026, there are 513 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Wanatah. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Wanatah stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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 .

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Wanatah. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% 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.

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.
