“Haile is great with our fur babies! It is obvious they are very comfortable with her, and are much more relaxed after a few days with her as opposed to the kennel. I really enjoy getting her updates <3”
“Asia took great care of our pup, Juniper, as well as our house. She was really helpful and responsive to our messages. Our flights kept changing and Asia was flexible and made sure Juniper wouldn’t be left alone too long waiting, especially while there were thunderstorms (which scare Juniper). We came home to a happy healthy pup!”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ James was absolutely amazing with Meiko! From the beginning, he was incredibly attentive and communicative, which gave me so much peace of mind knowing she was in good hands. He kept me updated, was very responsive, and most importantly, Meiko absolutely loved him! He was also extremely respectful of my home and just genuinely so friendly and easy to work with. I really appreciated the care and attention he gave Meiko while I was away. It’s such a relief finding someone you can trust with both your pet and your home. I will absolutely be booking with James again and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, communicative, and caring sitter. Thank you so much, James! 🐾💕”
“Antoinette was exceptional! We recently learned that our dog has a heart condition and we were worried to leave him alone for the weekend. Antoinette communicated with us very regularly, giving updates on when he ate, took his medication and what he was up to throughout the day. She genuinely seemed to care about him, even though they had just met. She went above and beyond to make sure we felt comfortable leaving him in her care and she left our home in immaculate condition. I highly recommend Antoinette to anyone looking for pet care; we absolutely would book again.”
“Michael was so wonderful with our 3 dogs for a week at the beach. Sent pictures, stayed with them and they loved him. Our chihuahua can be difficult but she loved him and his affability. Took great care of our house, too. Thank you so very much, Michael!! Hope to see you again!”
About: I am a huge dog lover. I have had many years of pet sitting experience. I always connect with dogs, and they always love me. I treat every dog like they are my own, with love and compassion. I love to play with dogs and take them on long walks. It's very important to make sure that they are having the best time possible. I used to have a dog of my own, but she unfortunately passed away several years ago. I am grateful that I got to spend a wonderful 14 years with her. Taking care of dogs provides me with joy and happiness. When having a dog around, it's like having a best friend by your side. I look forward to taking care of your furry friend! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I understand the importance of maintaining a consistent schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, and attention. I’m dependable, patient, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs, and I would make sure every pet receives plenty of care and affection while their owner is away. I provide loving, attentive, and responsible care for pets in their own home or my home, depending on the service requested. I focus on keeping pets comfortable by following their normal routines for feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and rest. I make sure they have fresh water, a clean environment, and plenty of affection and attention. I also respect each owner's instructions, take the time to learn each pet's personality and needs, and provide updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pets are in good hands.
“Chelsea was fantastic. We had to leave for a long trip for almost 3 weeks to the far east. I couldn’t not imagine boarding our dog for this long of a time. Chelsea not only house sat for us but took great care of our aging husky lab mix dog for the whole time. She made us feel at ease with daily pictures and checking in and we knew that our dog Bodie was well cared for. Finding someone to trust with our house and our dog for this long of a time was very stressful prior to leaving. Chelsea made it very easy on us. She is professional and truly cares. I couldn’t not be thankful enough that we found Chelsea on Rover. I would definitely use her again.”
“Brianna was the perfect dog sitter. She sent many many updates pictures which I loved. She took care of my pup like she was her own and even alerted me quickly when she thought something may be wrong with her. I would absolutely use her again and recommend her to anyone and everyone!”
About: I have had pets since I was young, and until I had to move away for college I was the primary care giver for both a cat and a dog. I loved ensuring that my pets were happy and healthy. As a waitress I work mostly at night, so I will be mostly available in the mornings and afternoons. However, on my days off I will be available at all times if the day. My top priority will always be the comfort of you and your pets, no matter the service. I will always put your pets needs first.
“Keira is so fantastic! My dog is still a little bit nervous because Keira is new, but she really takes it in stride and seems to magically make my dog more comfortable. Keira is so patient, kind, and gracious, highly recommended if your pup tends to be the nervous kind.”
“Amanda did a great job with our anxious and reactive dog. She handled all of his meds well and even gave him extra breaks and walks outside. He was happy and relaxed when we got home for our trip.”
“Emma was amazing with our very anxious and reactive pup. She replied immediately to a last minute house sitting request, came right over to get the lowdown, was great at keeping Bruno calm, and took great care of him! He developed a little eye irritation while she was with him. She did an excellent job letting us know about it while also conveying that she wasn’t particularly concerned.”
“My old cranky kitty and my bouncy young dog love Naya! I always travel with peace of mind, knowing that Naya is in charge. We have booked Naya several times.”
About: I have experience with large and small dogs, and several other animals, like pigs and hedgehogs! Raised with large dogs and love taking pups on long walks. I work part time and help my wife with their business, mainly working from home. I have plenty of time to take out your animals and provide them with any care they need. Crating, simple training, or just giving your elder dog company, I have patience and time for any pup. I can also send picture and video updates so you’ll never have to worry about your animals while you’re away!

This is the second time Dr Fecci and I have worked with Kaitlin. She is incredibly reliable and is working with him over time on his socialization around other dogs. She is keenly aware of when he is feeling stressed. He enjoys when Kaitlin is his sitter, and I am at ease.
Kyla was wonderful: Totally responsible, great at communicating with us morning and night, including lots of pictures of our dogs. She takes dog sitting VERY seriously, spending a lot of time with them (not just walks and meals), helping them learn to behave better (especially our wild puppy), and leaving us with the sense that our dogs are in great hands when they cared for by Kyla.
Trust them completely with our pups and our home. We have a two dog home that includes a senior dog who has mobility issues and medication needs. They’ve never had more exceptional care and are always happy and content when we arrive back home. Same goes for the house. House is clean and always well taken care of. My wife and I even came home to all our mail collected and our recycling put to the curb ❤️

The average cost of House Sitting in Wellwood is $39 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $74 per night.

As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 Wellwood 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 Wellwood 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 Wellwood 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
