“We love booking our pup sitting with Josh! He takes very good care of Bella while we go out of town and is great at communicating with us the whole time. We will definitely continue to recommend him to friends and family as well as rebook with him for the future!”
“Nicole was wonderful to our pups! This was the first time we’ve left them overnight since adopting them so we were a little nervous at first. But she completely calmed our nerves!! I cannot thank her enough for treats them like they are hers. We will for sure be using her again! Thank you, Nicole!!”
“Jessica was a Godsend. Due to a last minute sitter cancellation that left me scrambling for a long work trip, I found Jessica. Then right before my trip, my pup got an injury. I walked through everything with Jessica and with her prior experience caring for fosters, I knew he was in the right hands while I was away. She took amazing care of my guy, kept me up to date on everything and sent loads of pictures of my guy. I am forever grateful for the care she provided while I was away for an extended period and helping Beckham recover from his injury. Highly recommend booking with Jessica!”
About: I’ve assisted my aunt during her Rover experience for two years, I’ve rescued and TNR’d neighborhood street cats for two years, and I have an 8 year old dog and a 2 year old dog back in New York! I recently moved to the area and am living with family, so my animals are not with me until I secure independent housing—they are with family that were still in my old area. I’m a full-time college student in graduate school and I work full-time, both of these commitments are virtual. This leaves me relatively free to prioritize the care your loved pets need! I currently am not offering to pet sit in my own home as I currently live with family, but when watching other peoples dogs I take the same precautions as I would with my own dogs as you can never guarantee their behavior and how they respond to situations or other people. I would ensure the environment is safe, and if we go out into the community, I would be aware of my surroundings and take every precaution as if they were my own!
“Morgan has been our person for over a year now. She takes the absolute best care of my dogs and my home. This was my first international trip in a very long time. Having Morgan watch the girls brought peace of mind and allowed me to relax and enjoy my 10 day vacation. She sent lots of pictures and updates and kept the girls on a pretty good schedule. The dogs love her and always seem really happy and relaxed when I return. Cannot recommend her enough. We’ll miss you when we move! Thanks for everything”
“This was a last minute booking. We had to leave for NJ when my father died and Kelly stepped up for us. She did a wonderful job taking care of our three dogs. One has diabetes and needs insulin shots twice a day and is also blind. Kelly had no problems with the shots or with bonding with our babies. She kept us updated, which was wonderful. Kelly even did some unexpected cleaning during her down time, which was unexpected, but so appreciated. I would not hesitate to recommend Kelly and would definitely use her again in the future.”
“Sarah was an awesome sitter, she immediately jelled with our wild and anxious dog Gus. She was patient, attentive, and raised any concerns to us in the most helpful way. We will definitely have her come back again!”
About: I’ve been a dog owner most of my life! Currently, I own two dogs and I treat them like children. I’ve taken care of dogs since the age of 12. My family and friends would ask me to watch, feed, walk and play with their dog when out of town. I work from home so I will have plenty of time to play with your pups. I am available for weekend boarding, drop off anytime. I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs that can play with your fur baby. I have a crate for your fur baby if needed.
About: I used to work at an dog and cat boarding facility. I am also a student at Fayettville State University. I absolutly adore animals. I have 3 of my own, They are a german shepherd, austrailian Shepherd, and a chihuahua. So I do have and active life style with the 2 larger dogs. But my little dog is a couch potato, so I tend to slow things down for him. So no matter how big, small, entergetic, or couch potato they are I can always live up to their lifestyle. I am available anytime. If I am not available I’ll message you if it does not work for my schedule. But it is rare for me to be busy. I would be more than happy to take your puppy out on a walk or taking out to go potty. I can also feed them and give them fresh water. If they need time to interact with somebody I can sit and play with them. If there is special request, just ask away I would be more than happy to try.

“Ellie was so kind and communicative. We have older dogs and having them with someone we trust is so important. Ellie is responsible and trustworthy and our dogs warmed up to her instantly! We are so happy to have met Ellie and will absolutely use her services again!”
About: I’ve been regularly dog and cat sitting for the past five years, providing drop-in visits and overnight care. I grew up with rabbits and guinea pigs, so I’m also comfortable caring for small animals. Since my apartment doesn’t allow me to have a pet of my own right now, I love getting the opportunity to give your pet(s) lots of love. I’m reliable when it comes to feeding, bathroom breaks, playtime, and keeping you updated while you’re away! I’m very flexible with my availability. I’ll also be in town over the holidays and would love to help care for your pet(s)! I’m attentive to detail and diligent about following instructions and routines to ensure pets receive the best possible care. If I have questions or notice anything out of the ordinary, I communicate quickly to give you peace of mind. I’m also happy to help out with watering plants, bringing in the mail, or light housekeeping while you’re away.
About: I have lived on a farm with horses, chickens, ducks, goats cows you name it I’ve taken care of it. I have about 10+ years of experience taking care of animals. I always make sure that with my client or the animal that I’m taking care of I am 100% ready to meet your needs and wants! I’m currently working part-time, enrolled in online high school, but also have flexible hours as well! I’m very open when it comes to flexibility! When going to the client’s home I make sure that everything is as normal as the animals are used to by keeping the same routine rhythm set times you name it I’ll do it.
“Amy was absolutely wonderful! We couldn’t have asked for a better person to stay with our three dogs over the weekend. She was incredibly attentive and kept us updated throughout the weekend, letting us know how each of them was doing. It made it so much easier to relax and enjoy our time away knowing they were happy and being so well cared for. You can tell Amy genuinely loves animals, and our dogs were clearly comfortable with her. We’ll absolutely be asking her to stay with them again and I know they’ll be excited to see her soon!”
“Loren took amazing care of my two cats while I was away. She followed their care instructions thoroughly and she truly allowed me to enjoy my vacation without worrying if the cats were well taken care of. I really appreciated her communication and truly loved all of the picture updates she sent me each day. Loren was overall wonderful and I would 100% request her help in the future.”
“Marcia was fantastic! She arrived promptly for our meet and greet, took notes, sent pictures throughout our weekend trip, and helped manage a Rover error. I really appreciated the pictures, Marcia's enthusiasm, and perfect implementation (plus some!)”
About: I've looked after cats and dogs since I was 13. Growing up, neighbors, friends and family would trust me with dog walking, house sitting and checking in on pets. I am fairly active, and strong enough to handle larger dogs. I currently live in an apartment, but the complex has multiple dog parks and a nearby trail for walking. I'm new to the area, and currently looking for a full time job, so I have a fair amount of time to look after your pet. I live in an apartment with my cat Lenny, with enough rooms to separate pets if needed. The apartment complex has multiple dog parks and access to a nearby trail for walks.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Wendell is $50

Riley did an excellent job of taking care of my dogs. She followed the given instructions correctly and was not afraid to reach out if she had a question. She shared pictures as well and took them on walks. We came back to healthy and happy pups! I would definitely use her services again!

The average cost of House Sitting in Wendell is $46 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $82 per night.

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 Wendell 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 Wendell 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 Wendell 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.
