“Autumn was absolutely wonderful with Buddy! This was my first time leaving him with a sitter, and she gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Buddy can be a handful and takes some patience and attention, but Autumn handled him incredibly well and kept me updated throughout my trip. I was able to actually relax knowing he was safe, happy, and being well cared for. I’m so grateful to have found someone I can trust with him and would absolutely book Autumn again!”
“Rachel was awesome! I can’t stress enough how great she was with our two dogs AND communication with us! She was quick to respond and flexible with our needs. I’d give her 10 stars if I could!!”
“WOW. Alina was phenomenal, went above and beyond taking care of our prince Abu. She was communicating with me for the entire duration of our trip, sending updates, photos and videos. Not to mention she washed and replaced the bedding she used! 11/10 highly recommend!! Abu absolutely loved her as well so big plus. The woman even bought him toys!!”
“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”
“Really helped us out in a pinch. Our dogs loved her, she was very understanding, communicative, and clean. I’ll definitely try to rebook with her when needed!”
“Megan was an excellent sitter for my boys! I was able to leave my 2 boxers home while I travelled for a day long business trip. Megan sent pictures, notes and kept me informed throughout the day. I returned to 2 happy pups and a neat & tidy home. Thank you Megan!”
“Mackenzie stayed with my dog overnight in my apartment and everything went great! She was very communicative and responsible and I felt very comfortable with her at our meet-and-greet. During her stay she sent a photo and provided updates, and she followed all the instructions for Osito’s feeding and walk schedule. My apartment was very clean when I returned and exactly how I left it. I will definitely use her services again in the future and recommend her for pet sitting!”
“Graham provided in-house care for our two labradoodles for a full week. A new way for us to provide care for our dogs while we are out of town, our only regret is that we didn't make this arrangement with Graham sooner. We received daily texts with pictures assuring us that our dogs were well. Graham promptly replied to our text to him. Upon returning home, we were greeted by happy, healthy dogs, everything in the house in order, and a confirming note with house plant from Graham! The backyard "dog park" was clean as could be. We will hire him again without reservation!”
“Hannah was a wonderful sitter for our two dogs. She communicated well, and clearly cared for our dogs when she stayed with them in our house. I never worried about a thing! I loved the pictures and updates as well. Highly recommend!”
About: hi! i am a responsible dog walker & sitter that will give your pet the attention & love they deserve. i have always loved animals from a young age. i am very attentive & will be sure to pay close attention to each pets needs. the time spent with your pet will be as fun for me as it is for them. i am currently attending CofC so my schedule varies slightly. i love to go on walks & your pet can definitely tag along with me! i personally don’t have any pets currently. i grew up with multiple pets though. i will always provide a safe & fun place for your pet.
“Michelle is the most thoughtful, caring and attentive pet sitter! Our senior dog always has her needs met. Michelle is also excellent at giving us updates, and she is quick to respond!”
“Zoey B. Is an amazing pet sitter! She handled all 5 of our cats and two dogs over 70 lbs for the weekend. Our pets absolutely loved her, and they are pretty picky! Zoey sent us amazing pictures of each of our pets several times a day. This meant so much to me because we were very far from home attending my father-in-law’s funeral. Seeing my pets happy, healthy and safe with Zoey just gave me such peace in such a sad time. I highly recommend Zoey, and I absolutely intend to contact her through Rover the next time we need to go out of town. Thank you, Zoey! You’re Awesome!❤️”
“There aren't enough words to express how phenomenal Kristina is on every front! If you want to be able to go away with zero anxieties about your animals, Kristina is 100% your pet sitter! I am a very nervous kitty mama but from the moment Kristina walked through the door for meet and greet my anxieties melted away. One of my boys is a very nervous little guy around new people and he warmed up to Kristina right away, she has such a compassionate and gentle energy with animals that makes them feel so at ease. While we were away Kristina kept their routines in tact, gave them loads of love, affection, and play and I was able to rest easy knowing their lives were going on with minimal interruptions. Kristina was so friendly and engaging and sent me loads of updates and photos. She also watered my garden and kept my tomatoes going strong. And what an absolute joy to arrive home from a long day of travel to find our home as clean as a button, tidy, and everything in order. All this to say, Kristina will take outstanding care of your pets as well as immaculate care of your home. Truly cannot recommend Kristina enough - she is absolutely a gem and the best of the best of the best!!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Wando
Megan did a wonderful job. She cared for our home and our pets like they were her own. Our dog is older and needs a good deal of care. It was clear she was happy and well taken care of when we got home. We will definitely have Megan care for our home and pets again.
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. 😊
Marian was absolutely wonderful with my dog, Scottie! She went above and beyond to make sure he was happy and well cared for. She took him on plenty of walks, gave him lots of playtime, and kept me updated with so many great pictures while I was away. It gave me such peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. I could tell he was loved and cared for just like he would be when I’m at home. I highly recommend Marian to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter—she did an amazing job!

FAQs for House Sitting - Wando
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Wando on Rover is $55 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 1,647 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Wando. 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 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 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.

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.
