“Aaron was absolutely fantastic! Our boy seemed to love him and we were not worried at all while we were away. He left our home the same as it was when we left! Will definitely be using him again!”
“We really couldn't have had a better experience! Our dog Stanley does not make a good first impression, but Brad was so calm and patient with him. We set up a few visits between Brad and Stanley before we left for a long vacation and they became fast friends. This was our first time leaving our pup alone so we were nervous. He could not have been in better hands. Brad took amazing care of Stanley and gave us adorable photo updates throughout our trip. Stanley has made a new friend for life and we are thrilled! I would absolutely work with Brad again. He took great care of our best little buddy and our home at the same time. THANK YOU BRAD!”
About: I’ve enjoyed caring for dogs since a young age. I have spent time volunteering at a shelter and learning techniques for dog training- specifically to help dogs with their confidence! I’m available during the daytime on Mondays and Thursdays to help with those who work. I am available after 6pm every other day for evening walks. Can do earlier in the mornings for a higher rate. Respect is always the way I choose to operate. Respect for the dog, the owner, and myself is how I approach every situation. Paying attention to the dog’s needs is the priority.
About: I grew up around dogs and have spent most of my life caring for them. I regularly walk and watch my sister’s French Bulldog, and I’ve also dog-sat and house-sat for families with a Bernedoodle and a Golden Retriever. I love spending time outside with dogs and am always happy to go on multiple walks a day. I believe plenty of playtime, attention, and affection make for the best experience, and I treat every dog like they’re my own. I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets a lot of attention and consistency while you’re away. I’m available for drop-ins, walks, and house sitting throughout the week and on weekends. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine, whether that’s early mornings, evenings, or multiple visits a day. I grew up with multiple cats and am very comfortable caring for them, along with dogs as well. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and needs, and I always follow your instructions closely to keep their routine consistent. I prioritize a calm, safe environment and make sure pets feel secure and cared for. I’m also happy to send regular updates so you know how they’re doing.
“Briana was fantastic! She did a wonderful job communicating with me while I was gone, and gave Peach and Mika lots of love and cuddles. My house was nice and clean upon return, and the dogs were happy and comfortable the whole time she was here. Peach got lots of walkies with Briana, and she's comfortable walking dogs on a prong collar safely and correctly. Both dogs take meds daily, and Briana was comfortable administering them properly. I look forward to having her sit the girls again in the future if she's interested!”
About: I have taken care of animals since I was 12. Not only my animals, but neighbors and family friends. I’m a Vet Tech at the local animal hospital, so I’m prepared to care for your pets! I work full time as a Vet Tech, but have plenty of time in the morning, lunch time, and after work to care for your pets! Pets will be cared for in my home or a clients home as if they are my own; with care and love! I will do what I can to make them feel at home.
About: I have watched animals most of my life. I would walk family pets, neighbors, etc. I do a lot of overnight sitting while friends/family are on vacations. I would like to start up a side gig of walking and taking care of animals in my free time! I have a very flexible schedule I have a very friendly dog who can join for walks if preferred. I will do anything that is asked and take great care of your fur babies.
About: I love animals i have had dogs, cats, horses, chickens all my life. You will not find a more dedicated person than me. Your pets will get an abundance of snuggles from me. I am currently employed by the local animal hospital as a veterinary technician. I live with my wife, who's an occupational therapist at the human hopital( don't worry, she loves animals too), two daughters (9 and 12 years of age) and a Bernese mountain dog ( 5 years old) and two adopted kittens. It keeps me busy, but I can happily fill in playtime with another pet. I have a very gentle big dog, a family that loves pets and a fully fenced-in yard. We are mere steps from the dog park, the beach and the state forest, so plenty of opportunities for any kind of pet.

FAQs for House Sitting - Wauwinet
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 186 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Wauwinet. 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 Wauwinet 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 Wauwinet 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 Wauwinet 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 Wauwinet. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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.
