“Mia is fantastic. She took great care of our fur baby who can be a handful at times. She had the house nice and clean when we returned and even washed her bedding. We highly recommend Mia for any pet sitting needs and I will be rebooking her for Feb as soon as I finish this review.”
“I arrived back home with happy puppies and a clean house. Olivia even brought a huge box of Chewy that had been delivered while I was gone. Thank you so much for taking such good care of my furry babies!”
“Jacquelyn communicated with me throughout the entire booking and was very informative and thoughtful. She made sure my pet was very well taken care of and even helped bring in mail or clean up messes. Highly recommend her for your next booking.”
“Absolutely fantastic experience! They treated our fur babies as if they were their own and were incredibly respectful of our home. We received regular updates with messages and photos, which went a long way in putting us at ease, knowing our pets were in great hands. Their extra effort allowed us to fully enjoy our vacation without any worries. We highly recommend their services and will definitely be requesting them for our next pet sitting!”

About: I’ve never had a pet of my own but intention, agility, compassion and fun is the heart I lead with animals as a whole. I love meeting new fur friends. I volunteer with a pet adoption program Wednesday’s & Friday’s at Pet smart. I have church Sunday morning’s until 1pm. Every other day of my week is pretty open until I am reemployed. I am actively trying to become a professional groomer. I’m working on being CPR/First Aid for cats and dogs. I’m not stranger to family and neighborhood pets and my hands on training with pets is continuous. I plan to always give an update on the areas I grow in. I’ve only ever nested chickens in my home.

About: I have been taking care of people's pets since I was 12 years old. Dogs, cats, fish, turtles, tortoises, gerbils, hamsters, frogs, lizards, guinea pigs, ferrets, etc. I have experience with everything from Yorkies to Wolfhounds, puppies to seniors, high energy to lazy. I have taken care of indoor cats, outdoor cats, cats who only hide, cats who bite, and cats who love me to death. I have no problem giving medicine, dealing with pets who have unique issues, or with breeds often stereotyped as aggressive. I have four cats, a Yorkie, and a Pitbull at home. I graduated from USC with my BA in English this past December. I plan to attend graduate school in the Fall of 2026. Until then, I am working and saving as both a pet-sitter and a substitute teacher. My schedule is extremely flexible as I decide when and where I work. If I'm substitute teaching, it is between Monday and Friday from 8 AM - 3:30 PM. I do not substitute teach every single day. My weekends, evenings, and summer are especially open. It is extremely nerve-wracking to trust a stranger with a beloved member of your family as well as access to your home. It is my goal to make my clients feel as at ease as possible. I am very easy-going and flexible, so I encourage my clients to simply be honest about their expectations and boundaries. I will take care of your pets, house, garden, etc as if they were my own.
About: Hi, I’m Madison! I am a USC graduate and young professional in Columbia, SC. I am a HUGE pet lover but unfortunately my pets live a few hours away with my parents. I am trying to find some fur babies to love on while I am here. I have 8+ years of babysitting and pet- sitting experience. I have a cozy home with a fenced yard for your babies to play. I am willing to come to your house as well. I will also send you updates of your pets while you are away, if you would like! Let me know if I can help you out in any way! I work from home and work part-time at night. I will have plenty of time to spend playing or relaxing with your pups. They will be taken out for potty breaks regularly as well. I have a fenced in yard and also a spare room for your pup to play if they choose. I try not to keep more than one family’s dogs at a time, but I will let you know if I am caring for any others.
“Tyler was great with Klooney and Brutus! He sent us daily updates with photos. The house and our dogs were very well taken care of. We will be sure to ask Tyler to sit for us again in the future.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Wedgewood
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of June 2026, there are 403 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Wedgewood. 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 Wedgewood 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 Wedgewood 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 Wedgewood 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.
