“Gabby and Kevin were wonderful with our dog Max. Kevin sent us updates and pics during visits. I felt very comfortable that Max was being well taken care of. Will definately use them again for future pet sitting.”
“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!”
“Delia is great! Took good care of my dog and cat, and I could tell they were so relaxed and comfortable when I got home. I’d love to work with her again!”
“Alina was amazing!! Our Golden has separation anxiety and has always gone on an eating strike when we leave town. Alina sent us so many updates that it made us so at ease our entire time. He actually ate more for her than for us! She treats them as her own. When we returned home she washed our sheets, left our house cleaner than we left it and left us donuts and a toy and treats for our dog. She was incredible and We can’t wait to have her back!!”
“We are obsessed with Laura! Our boys, Murphy and French Toast, had a great time hanging out with Tobe! We had some travel issues with flights delayed, having to get a rental car and took much longer to get home and Laura made sure the boys were all set before we knew when we would be home! Loved getting cute pics while on vacation! Definitely going to be booking again for our next vacation 🫶🫶🫶”
“She was amazing watching our pups. We got pictures every single day and updates. She arrived on time and let us know. When she left. She cleaned up after herself. I would recommend her to anybody that's looking for in-house dog sitting. She is definitely reliable.”
“I cannot recommend Lydia enough for all of your petsitting needs - she watched our pups AND backyard ducks when we went out of town for the weekend. My husband and I came home from our trip to two content and relaxed boys (our dogs) and four happy and peppy girls (our ducks). Lydia went above and beyond by taking out the trash, washing the towels, and changing the sheets before she left…we’ll most definitely use her again!”
“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!❤️”
“Melanie was fantastic as always. I had travel issues due to winter storms and Melanie was able to be flexible and make sure Alice was taken care of until I could finally get home!”
“This was our first time using Rover, and Alicia was phenomenal. We felt such at ease having her in our home and knowing our dog was well taken care of by her. I will definitely be reaching out to Alicia again the next time we need a sitter.”
About: I am a huge animal lover! I have cared for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, activity levels, and many that need a little extra love and attention. My husband and I currently have two dogs, a beagle and a 115lb lab, so I am comfortable caring for dogs that pull, prefer to keep to themselves, and even those that have separation anxiety. I am a young professional that works full time but my schedule is pretty flexible. I would love to drop by for a potty break and play session during the day or in the evening! I understand that trusting your fur baby and your home to a stranger is a big decision. That’s why I am committed to following your explicit directions and sending lots of photos and updates during my time with your pup! I will care for your pup and your home like it is my own! I do not bring my dogs along so I can give yours my undivided attention.
“Aaron was wonderful and truly loved spending time with Gracie and Roxie! Aaron sent pictures and updates daily, which was greatly appreciated! He let me know that Roxie took a little bit of time to warm up but then was herself with being a big snuggler, and that Gracie did great on her walks. Last time we had made this trip we had an 8 hour delay, and asked Aaron ahead of time if something like this happened again could he stay, and he said he could. Luckily all went well and we were able to arrive home on time to two very happy and very well cared for pups! Will definitely use Aaron again!!”
About: I always took care of dogs for family and friends while they travel. We don’t have pets of our own currently, so know that your pet will get a lot of love from us. I am currently working from home and usually just leave the house to take my son to daycare and pick him up. I can take your dog out as many times needed for walks and bathroom breaks during the day. We live in a townhouse, with no fence. So we will always need to go out on a leash. I do have a 2 year son, so your pet needs to be good and/or used with kids. We don’t own any pets so you can rest assured they won’t have any problems with that.
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and can’t imagine life without them. I’ve been dog sitting and walking for family and friends for the past 7 years, and somewhere along the way became the person everyone calls when they need someone to spoil their pup. I have a golden retriever of my own who is very loved (and very aware of it), so I know how important it is to have someone you trust with your dog. I’m currently working part time and have a pretty flexible schedule. I have time in the early morning, afternoon, or some evenings to watch or walk your pet. I have a large front and backyard where dogs can safely run and play using a long leash that gives them freedom to the entire yard while staying safe and secure. I like to keep a consistent routine with play time, feeding, and lots of attention and care. If I’m in someone else’s home, I try to stick as closely as I can to their normal routine so the pet feels as relaxed and at home as possible.

Alina was awesome with our two dogs while we were out of town for 4 days! Truly took care of them in every way- walks, playtime, food, treats, etc. She kept me updated the whole trip and we could tell they were in great hands and feeling comfortable! When we came home the house was in perfect shape and she even left some treats for the dogs! Will definitely be using her again!
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Wando. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
