About: I have lots of experience helping to care for animals from taking care of horses to bathing dogs. I have pet sat for neighbors before. I’ll be working 25-30 hours per week so I will have plenty of time to fit Rover clients into my daily routine and schedule. I currently have an Aussiedoodle that I walk 2-3 times a week. I also have a fenced in yard that he loves sunbathing in.
“Adelyn was wonderful! My doggy was so well taken care of while we were gone, as it was evident when we returned. She regularly communicated with me to coordinate her schedule with Sweet Pea’s needs, and she accommodated me when I had certain crazy requests of her. She’s extremely friendly and quick to understand what we were requesting of her. You won’t be disappointed if you use her!”
About: NOW ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS! Hello! I'm Gillian, a current dog mom and lover of all animals. My passion for animals began when I was very young, growing up with multiple family dogs of different breeds and sizes. As I got older, I volunteered at shelters, helped care for friends and family pets, and eventually rescued my own. It has been over 10 years since I started taking care of others' pets and have grown my knowledge of different breeds and temperaments. I’ve handled and trained energetic puppies, senior dogs, rescue dogs, sassy cats, and dogs that have behavioral issues like leash aggression. As a pet parent myself, I understand how important your pet’s care is, so I ensure your animals have a fun and safe environment to play while maintaining clear commands for obedience. The objective is to exercise your dog’s body and mind, but my goal as their caretaker is to establish trust through love and leadership. I always walk with a collapsible bowl, water, treats, and potty bags. If you have specific instructions on crating, potty time, or feeding, I will ensure to follow them. Most important, I will care for your pet as if they were family, as I know they are yours! Please check my calendar for my most up-to-date schedule. I maintain a full-time job working a hybrid schedule. Here is a typical week: Mon, Tues & Fri: - Walks & Drop-ins available before 8:00a and after 5:30p. Wed & Thurs, Sat & Sun: - Walks and drop-ins available all day. House sitting available all week. Please check my calendar for my most up-to-date schedule! I have two of my own dogs that get along well with others! I have a young, energetic cattle dog and an older cattle/ Bassett mix that matches the energy of others. He was used to check the temperament of other dogs within the shelter, so he adapts well to the needs of others.
“Sabrina was wonderful and the dogs loved her! She picked up our mail and pulled the trash can inside. We're very picky who watches are pups and we will definitely ask Sabrina back.”
“I can not recommend Oscar highly enough. He did such a great job staying with Finn. Super attentive to details and great at providing photos and updates. Plus my apartment looked better than when I left!! I will definitely book him again.”
About: I have spent my life loving and caring for animals of all sizes and types; dogs, cats, birds, guinea pigs, and even some fish. I grew up with animals and have carried on the tradition of raising my own children amongst their "furry siblings". Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to help feed, walk, play with, and care for their pets over the years. I have a patient and loving home where are pets are a part of the family and that includes "guest pets" during their stay. I strive to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they are with us. We have two dogs in the house, a terrier mix (10 pounds) and a cocker (30 pounds). I am a therapist and I'm typically in and out of the house most days from 8-5, coming home often for an hour or two at a time. My husband comes home most days for lunch. Additionally, I have two teenage children that are home most of the day during the summer or at least one of them is typically home at any given time cuddling with the dogs on the couch or in their rooms. We typically take the dogs for their walk after work each day. I have a fenced yard with room to run around. The fence gaps are small enough o keep our 10 lb terrier from escaping and is 5' high. We also have a doggie door to allow our dogs and our guests access to yard time and potty breaks throughout the day. Our dogs are family so they do sleep with us and are allowed on the couch. We have a walking path behind our house and through the neighborhood that allows us to take walks, typically in the evening. Our dogs are well socialized and have been exposed to having other dogs stay with us and staying with other dogs outside the home. They are playful and friendly. We have never had any incident with them in the 10 years we've had our terrier and 3 years we've had out spaniel. We tend to walk the dogs after work every day and feed them once in the morning and once in the evening. The house is dog friendly with nothing they can hurt themselves on.
“Kailey stayed at our home with our 2 pups (one senior dog and one 2 year old). She gave us updates daily and reassurance that they were in good hands! Appreciate her taking care of pups!”
About: I grew up with three dogs and have always loved caring for them. I’m patient, attentive, and comfortable with dogs of different personalities and energy levels. I’ll treat your dog like my own and make sure they get plenty of love, attention, and care while you’re away. I am currently working from home and have 24/7 availability! Message me with any questions, however my schedule is completely free at this time ! I’m happy to care for pets in their own home, where they can stay comfortable in a familiar environment. I’ll follow their normal routines closely, including feeding, walks, playtime, litter care, and any special instructions. I’m respectful of your home and prioritize safety, cleanliness, and making sure your pets feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away.
About: I grew up with dogs my whole life — from small breeds to big, energetic ones — and I’ve taken care of all kinds along the way. Small dogs, medium dogs, large dogs, I’ve handled the different needs each size brings, whether that’s extra exercise for a high-energy breed or gentler handling for a smaller one. That hands-on experience means I know how to adjust my approach depending on your dog’s size, temperament, and needs. Your pet will get the same attention and care I’ve given my own dogs for years. I work fully remote, which means I’m home most days and can step away anytime to let dogs out, feed them, or just check in. If needed, I’m happy to bring my laptop and work from your home so your pets have company throughout the day instead of being alone for long stretches. After 5pm and on weekends, I’m completely flexible and can give your pets as much attention and playtime as they need. Whether I’m in your home or mine, safety and routine come first. I currently live in an apartment right next to three dog parks, all within easy walking distance, so dogs get plenty of exercise, fresh air, and socialization if that’s something they enjoy. In your home, I stick closely to your pet’s normal routine, feeding schedule, and any specific instructions you give me, so there’s as little disruption to their day as possible. I treat every home I’m in with the same care and respect as my own, and I’m always reachable if you need an update.
“Paige was great with my dogs. She was very attentive and loved on them like we do. I didn't have to worry about them being well taken care of while I was gone. Paige sent daily updates and kept me informed in all the fun things they were doing. I will definitely be reaching out to Paige again the next time we go out of town!”
About: I'm a world traveler who loves animals but can't have my own due to my schedule. I love to love pets with my whole heart, and taking care of your fur-babies helps me feel like I'm helping them while they help me. Im a flood adjuster with long stretches between work that allow me to fill the gaps with pet and house sitting! My routine becomes whatever your pet needs. The flexibility is convenient for everyone. I will care for your home and your pets like they're my own. I prefer to keep them in their place for their comfort and mine. As I don't have my own pets, my place isn't set up for them, I don't have a fence or crate(s) here.
About: I’m a registered nurse with a lifelong love for dogs, which means safety, reliability, and attention to detail are always my top priorities. I had my own dog for 14 years, so I have extensive experience caring for senior dogs, including administering medications, recognizing changes in behavior or health, and providing extra patience and comfort. Having moved here from Philly, I truly miss having a dog of my own, so I treat every pet I care for like family. I’m calm, observant, and dependable, and I’m especially comfortable with routines, special instructions, and pets who need a little extra care or reassurance. Whether it’s walks, overnight stays, or drop-ins, your dog will be safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits easily into my daily and weekly routine. As a nurse, I work three 12-hour shifts per week, which gives me several full days off where I’m completely available for walks, drop-ins, and overnight care.I plan my schedule carefully and only accept bookings I can fully commit to, so your pet will always get consistent attention, exercise, and care. I’m happy to work around your dog’s routine and communicate clearly so you always know your pet is in good hands. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets, whether in my home or yours. As a nurse, I’m highly attentive, detail-oriented, and trained to notice subtle changes in behavior, appetite, or energy levels. I carefully follow all routines and instructions provided, including feeding schedules, medications, leash preferences, and house rules. In a client’s home, I respect your space and keep your pet’s environment clean, calm, and familiar. In my home, pets are supervised, never left unattended for long periods, and kept in a secure, comfortable setting. I use leashes at all times outdoors unless otherwise instructed and avoid dog parks unless explicitly approved. I prioritize clear communication and will provide regular updates, photos, and messages so you can feel confident and at ease while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness always come first.
“Jessica was an incredible sitter. She took the best care of our dachshunds while we were gone. She sent multiple unprompted videos and pics and updates to us which was so nice and we felt like she really loved our dogs while she was there. The house was spotless when we got home. Thankyou jessica!!”
“Kira took great care of our home and our pets while we were away! She was very communicative, shared lots of pictures, and even watered our plants in the summer heat! We will definitely be reaching out to Kira again in the future”
“Tristan was just fantastic! He kept us updated with walks and adorable photos, and the house was spotless when we returned. He even went the extra mile by washing the sheets on the guest bed! Our dogs absolutely adored him! We can’t wait to have Tristan look after both of them again!”
About: I have had my own pets for as long as I remember and unfortunately they still live at my childhood home. I cared for my dog and cat growing up, but unfortunately do not have any pets of my own, yet! I love to go on walks and would be the perfect buddy for any dog! I am also very organized! I am a teacher full time, and get home early during the week. I also am able to be free on weekends! I live an active life so I like to stay busy, and having a furry friend is a nice addition! I have a dog park where I live and a great walking trail. I have a lot of indoor space for a pet to be happy!
About: Happy to be here for your pet babies like they are my own I have so much joy caring for other peoples loved ones while their away! I have a lot of joy to share with each and every visit! I am working part time so I have plenty of time to care of your pets and will always communicate my schedule with you to let you know how it best aligns and making sure the pets are gonna be well nurtured! I am always happy to take care of the pets in the persons home while they are away and happy to stay the night with the pets to help them feel comfortable and safe in their own home. I enjoy it and take great care of the home and pets.
“I highly recommend Lauren! She watched our dog for a week and took fantastic care of her - lots of play, affection and time outside. Lauren is easy to communicate with and she sent lots of photos of our dog throughout the week, which we enjoyed receiving. And our dog loved playing with her pup, Ember!”

Alina was great!! Our original sitter moved, and we turned to rover for a weekend trip. Her communication was excellent from the start. I received so many pictures and updates, and didn’t worry once about my pups or the house. She was very trustworthy and respectful of our house. Will absolutely be booking her again next time we are in need.
We appreciate Laurie taking care of Beau and Izzy, especially during Christmas week. She kept us informed throughout the week and the pups seemed happy and healthy when we returned from our trip. I appreciate being able to have someone stay with the pups in our home where they feel safe and comfortable. Laurie did a great job. We will definitely reach out to her again for future pup-sitting needs. 😊

The average cost of House Sitting in Wando is $60 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $34 and $87 per night.

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 Wando 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 Wando 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 Wando 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Wando. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
