“Kaitlin did a wonderful job staying in our home with our dog and cat. We had a meet and greet at our house prior to our vacation and our pets both seemed comfortable with her immediately. After the meet and greet she sent us detailed notes for us to review to ensure she captured the details and nuances of our pets. During the day she was communicative and sent photos. It was clear she treated our pets as if they were her own. When we returned our house was just as we had left it and Kaitlin even left some treats she had gotten for our dog. We will definitely be using Kaitlin the next time we go out of town!”
“Morgan was very professional and respectful staying in our home. She took amazing care of our 155lb Bernese mountain dog. We will absolutely be booking with her again!”
“Haile did an excellent job taking care of my dogs when we went out of town for a few days. She sent pics and kept us up to date on how they were doing. My home was clean and dogs were happy.”
“Asia was very communicative and flexible with my schedule, and she did a wonderful job caring for my dogs. They had a lot of cuddles, walks, and photos taken throughout the visit. Will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”
“Cheryl was a great sitter. She stayed at the house and watched our two large dogs. She took good care of them and sent us pictures and updates on them over the weekend. She even took care of a package that was delivered for us. I would use Cheryl again.”
“Great care for our little rescue guy. My dog instantly took to her. Eileen house sat and dog sat and was beyond responsible for both. We would 100 % call her when needed. She went out of hr way and I knew my guy was safe and happy.”
“Bronte is amazing! Our dog absolutely loved her and they became instant friends. She even brought him a Bully Stick when she came (yes, she asked me for permission first!) Our dog is big and can be a little overbearing but she handled him perfectly. And our house was in perfect condition when we returned. Will DEFINITELY be rebooking! Thanks, Bronte!!!”
“Ana is great! She was always responsive, kind, and reliable, and made sure Ginger stayed safe, comfortable, and happy. She took great care of her and also helped daily medication well! When I got home, Ginger was calm, healthy, and clearly well cared for.”
“Victoria is the very best pet sitter we’ve ever had. Our animals love her more than they love us. She is great with communicating and goes above and beyond. We just love her.”
“Jeff was amazing!! Our dogs were so happy having him there for them (as were we)! He made sure they had plenty of love and attention, communicated regularly with us to let us know how they were doing and sent us pictures and videos of our boys. We highly recommend Jeff and will be requesting his services again when we have to leave!”
“Brenna did a very good job with our dog Kona who can be a little difficult as she barks for some time at strangers. Brenna has a good way with animals and was able to settle her down quickly. We felt very comfortable with Brenna as this was the longest time we had been away( 10 days) from Kona. We will definitely call on her again”
“Holly did a great job caring for my young dog and my house. She played with the dog, gave her puzzles, took her for walks, and kept me updated with pictures. I will be happy to use Holly again.”
About: I've had pets my whole life, so I understand what they need to feel safe and happy. I live with two dogs and have experience caring for a variety of animals from large dogs to guinea pigs. As a high school graduate, my schedule is fairly flexible. I have a part time job but I am available most of the day to care for your animals. I only care for pets in a clients home. I would respect all household rules and give your pet my full attention making sure to care for them with kindness.
“Naya is AMAZING! We contacted her last minute for a very complicated case; our dog was coming out of the ER after being admitted for cluster seizures and she was still at risk for seizing again. Naya handled everything calmly and with excellent knowledge. She was a needle in a haystack for us! She asks great questions, and she is attentive and communicative. Thanks, Naya!!”
“Zana was a fantastic sitter, she sent me frequent updates and pictures. The house was left in great shape and most importantly, I know my Dottie got all the love and care she needed!”
“Keira was great with our old pup Toby while we were out of town. She was knowledgeable about care and Toby was in great hands. She gave updates and photos throughout the stay.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Wellwood
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 ❤️
We are so thankful we found Talayia to watch our two dogs and cat for overnight stays! She really came through for us at the last minute when we were in a tough spot of our last sitter cancelling. She communicated with us daily and sent us picture updates which put us at ease for the two weeks we were gone. She also kept our plants alive and our house was kept clean. Thank you so much for everything!!

FAQs for House Sitting - Wellwood
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Wellwood on Rover is $45.51 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 4,165 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Wellwood. 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 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 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 Wellwood. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
