“Brigid was extremely professional and thorough taking care of our dog. She made sure he had everything he needed, from walks, food, and attention (most importantly). She provided regular updates along with pictures to us and it was apparent that our dog felt safe and sound. Highly recommended.”
“Amazing care! We got so many pictures and a few videos throughout the 11 days and Hero was well taken care of. He has a habit of eating things he shouldn't and there was only one minor incident that we were told of right away (and thankfully hasn't caused any issues). We're looking forward to booking them again!”
“Christine was great watching our dog, Ozzy! Ozzy can have stranger danger and Christine did a great job managing this. He was so well taken care of and so was our apartment. I highly recommend Christine.”
“Jordyn did a great job caring for my westie in my home while I was away for a week. She sent updates and pictures. He was well cared for. When I returned home, Jordyn made sure everything was in perfect order! Linus misses her already! We’ll be calling Jordyn again! I highly recommend her!”
“Michael did an amazing job watching my dog-reactive dog over Christmas. He’s communicative and reliable and provided excellent care on relatively short notice over the holiday. I will definitely use him as a sitter again!”
“Thanks to Vanessa, we had one less thing to worry about during our recent trip. She took great care of the boys and a few things around the house. Logistically, her work place being close to our house, gave us the assurance that she is closeby if needed during her working hours. The boys loved her so much, they went crazy when she had dropped by later to collect a few stuff she had left behind.”
“Natalia was so great! She kept us updated every step of the way. We had some complications and needed to change some travel plans and Natalia was flexible and every easy to communicate with. Our pups loved her & we would happily work with her again! :)”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with a genuine passion for caring for furry family members. Having grown up surrounded by dogs my entire life. I’ve experienced every stage of puppyhood and understand their unique needs, energy levels and personalities that each dog brings. I have 9 months of experience actually working with dogs and cats, at a dog boarding facility called Barks Bed & Biscuit in denville NJ. I provided excellent care for the animals, cleaning, feeding, medicating and occasionally giving insulin. Currently I work a part time job at a dog boarding/ daycare during the midday- night but I can always work around my schedule and work! I have a fenced yard to protect my dogs and cats! We have cat crates and pouches to make sure they get some outdoor time.
“Krystie did a fantastic job caring for our high energy golden retriever Noah! My wife & I were very impressed with her knowledge on dogs, their behaviors, and how to act in certain scenarios. As first time (large) dog owners, Krystie gave us some training tips that we have been able to successfully apply. Sometimes our golden boy can be a handful, but clearly, Krystie has proven her experience. She sent us videos throughout her stay that gave us peace of mind & reassurance that we made the right choice. She also took great care of our home, going above and beyond what we requested. We trust her & will definitely be booking her again in the future!”
About: I’m 25 years old and live with my parents and sister in a home where someone is almost always around throughout the day, so your pet will get plenty of attention, care, and companionship! I’ve had dogs my entire life, including a Shih Tzu and a German Shepherd, who sadly passed away earlier this year. Having dogs has taught me how to care for different personalities and sizes, and I truly enjoy spending time with them. We also have a fully fenced-in backyard that provides plenty of space for dogs to play, explore, and enjoy some fresh air. I’d love to give your dog a safe, loving, and comfortable home away from home! Pet care is something I take seriously and enjoy making time for in my daily routine. I understand the importance of keeping pets on a consistent schedule with feeding, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention. I’m happy to adjust my routine to meet each pet’s individual needs and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while their owners are away. I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved, whether they’re staying in my home or I’m caring for them in their own home. I stick to their usual routines for feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions their owners provide. I love giving dogs plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while making sure they always have fresh water and a clean, safe environment. I also have a fenced-in backyard where dogs can play and get some fresh air. Most importantly, I want every owner to feel confident that their pet is in good hands, so I’m happy to provide regular updates and pictures throughout their stay!

“Alexandra was truly a perfect sitter! She stayed at our house with our two dogs, provided pics and updates throughout her stay letting us know how everything was going and left our house clean upon her exit. We would give her 20 stars if it was possible! HIGHLY recommend her!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Wharton
Jaylynn was absolutely amazing with my 3 spicy Chihuahuas! 🐶❤️ She handled all three of them exceptionally well and treated them with so much love, patience, and care. Even my spiciest one absolutely loved her—which says A LOT! 😂 they even had their own fashion show. Jaylynn stayed overnight in our home for 4 nights, and throughout the entire stay she was trustworthy, reliable, and provided us with multiple updates and pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. I highly recommend Jaylynn to anyone looking for a caring, responsible, and trustworthy sitter. We will absolutely be rebooking her for next month! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
It was so great to meet Jessica and Guillermo. Great people and my dogs really took to them immediately. They sent lots of great photos (which I greatly appreciate) and were completely gracious about my Border Collie’s storm anxiety and a little out-of-character acting out. 100% recommend these folks.
Alexyss was absolutely amazing. Our dogs are our babies and we have never left them with anyone other than Family, but after Alexyss was recommended to me by someone I trust, we decided to set up a meet and greet. It went very well and We felt comfortable and knew that our boys were in good hands. Alexyss’s history working in emergency vet offices was extra reassuring and honestly one of the main reasons I felt so comfortable. She was very communicative, thorough, and left our home in perfect condition. We are so grateful to have found someone we can trust!
Jesse stayed in our home for five nights with our black lab, and we couldn’t have asked for a better first experience. She was wonderful with our dog, kept us updated, and took great care of our home. We felt completely comfortable while we were away and will definitely be using Jesse again. Highly recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Wharton is $57 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $41 and $72 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. 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 Wharton 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 Wharton 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 Wharton 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.

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.
