About: My whole life I have had dogs, from puppies to senior dogs. I know how to cater to all personalities of pets. I have also pet sat for multiple friends and family for both dogs and cats. I enjoy being around animals and taking care of them with whatever they may need. I can pet sit about every other day, weekends as well.I can also do multiple days in a row if need be, I am open to also spending nights with the animals, whatever is needed for you. I am very attentive to my own dogs and will be very attentive to yours as well. I always make sure their needs are met. I make sure they are taken very good care of. I am very patient, especially with senior dogs. I don’t get frustrated easily. I provide love and care to all animals I come in contact with.
“Emma was wonderful with my Duke and he is not easy. She was very patient and sweet with him. She sent us pictures often and took great care of him. Emma left everything organized and neat. We will definitely call her again.”
“We were so happy with all the help and care Gianna provided to our pets while we were out of town. We will absolutely request Gianna in the future and would recommend her services to all our pets while parents. Thank you Gianna!”
“I was very nervous to leave my 14-year old blind, arthritic pug overnight but Michael totally put my mind at ease. He gave him wonderful care, attention, and affection that went above and beyond. Plus took care of my three needy kitties as well! And he sent lots of pics and videos, which I really appreciated. I highly recommend Michael. He was responsible and gave top quality care.”
About: I have years of professional experience caring for animals as a veterinary technician, dog trainer, and shelter worker. I’m comfortable with puppies, seniors, anxious pets, and pets needing extra attention or medication. I treat every pet with patience and care and always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. I’m currently in nursing school, so my schedule can vary depending on the semester. However, I’m usually available after 2 PM, with even more flexibility after 5 PM. I do my best to work around each pet’s routine and can coordinate with owners ahead of time to make sure their pets receive consistent, reliable care. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are always my priority. With my veterinary and animal care experience, I’m comfortable monitoring behavior, administering medications, and recognizing when something may be wrong. I follow each owner’s instructions closely and respect their pet’s individual routine, personality, and boundaries.
About: I’ve taken care of pets most of my life. I love dogs, and am always the go-to for friends and family when they need a pet sitter. I work full time as a teacher, so my schedule is open during the summer months. The rest of the year, I am available weekdays after 5pm, and most weekends. My own dog was crate trained, but I am comfortable with both crated and free roaming pets. I love snuggling on the couch with a pup or two, and am happy to stick to the routine that works best for your pet!
“Ryan was great! She stayed with our "pups" (as she cutely called them) for almost a week. Right from the start she sent texts, photos, and a sense that all was under control. Meeting her before the stay both her experience as a student working towards going to vet school and as a horse owner sealed the deal. We'd happily use her again.”
“This was our third time using Josh for overnight stays, and he continues to be a really great sitter. His communication is excellent. He provides regular updates and is always very responsive. It's stressful to have your pets care (and your home) in someone else's hands. Josh's communication definitely helps us feel more at ease. We have a fenced yard, but Josh always takes Rider on walks which I really appreciate (as does Rider). Every time we've come home you'd never know he was there. He brings in packages, etc. which again, I really appreciate. We will continue to book Josh without question!”
“Pat did a great job taking care of the pups while we were away. We felt so safe leaving our babies and home in Pat’s care. Highly recommend hiring Pat for all your pet needs.”

“Ruth was wonderful with our 3 Bulldogs...two of them are under 3 year's old and one of them is 13 year's old. Quite the handful but she handled it flawlessly. Ruth did everything we asked of her and more. Ruth we loved you and our dog's adored you. Definitely will be using you again. Thank you so very much!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 16 years, so being around them has always been a huge part of my life! Friends and family have trusted me for years to care for their pets, and I’m also a dog mom to two fur babies of my own. 🐾 I truly love animals and treat every dog I care for like they’re part of my own family.

“We just came home after leaving our dogs with Nora for the first time, and I can say it was an overall great experience. She communicated well and quickly, followed our detailed instructions, kept great care of our dogs, and left our home in immaculate condition. She was reliable, trustworthy, and had a positive impact on our dogs' well-being. I was a little nervous as it was the first time we had worked with her. She sent a pic of the dogs with her the first evening that put me totally at ease. Highly recommend. - Mike”
“Troy & Shalah were AMAZING with our baby Cosmo and our home! 🤩 We were beyond happy to see daily photos of Cosmo, along with check ins and texts regularly. We had absolutely no concerns at all and will happily book them again! Thanks so much! 🐶❤️”
“Marissa is so great! She was flexible when my travel arrangements got delayed and sent me lots of pictures of my fur baby. She is very responsive and overall, great to work with!”
“Annabel did a wonderful job with our two big dogs! Our usually skittish puppy is absolutely in love with her. Annabel was very communicative, followed all instructions for the pups care, and kept us updated with cute pictures. We looking forward to using her services again!”
“Alexis was truly fantastic. She sent tons of updates and spent so much time with our girls so they felt totally at home. She kept the house in the same shape we left it and I have already re-booked with her. Can’t wait for her to come again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Wheat Sheaf
We had a wonderful experience with Kelsey! She took excellent care of our dog, Lucy, and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Our flights were unexpectedly canceled, and we ended up needing an extra day of care. She was incredibly flexible, accommodating, and worked around the last-minute change without any issues. It meant so much to us during a stressful travel situation. Lucy was happy, well cared for, and clearly received lots of attention. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will absolutely be booking with her again. Highly recommend!
Jenna was sweet and updated us every day about how our furry crew was doing. The house was tidy, and she even took out the trash before we came home (we were only gone 3 full days!). The food bowls were also all washed and waiting for us. Our dog and 3 cats all seemed happy and undisturbed by our absence when we got home. Jenna did a lovely job, and I think our animals really liked her!
Gabi was amazing with my puppy! It was his first time with a sitter (and overnight too), so I was a little nervous, but she kept me updated the whole time with plenty of messages and pictures. I came home to a clean apartment and a happy puppy. Thank you, Gabi!!!

FAQs for House Sitting - Wheat Sheaf
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Wheat Sheaf on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 5,354 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Wheat Sheaf. 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 Wheat Sheaf 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 Wheat Sheaf 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 Wheat Sheaf 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.
