“Someone who is on time, tires my boy out with walks and play, and makes my boy feel comfortable enough to take a nap is a five star for me. My dog’s anxiety can be a lot at times. However having him feel comfortable enough to take a nap and not waiting at the door when I get back in my book is huge.”
About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of pets including dogs, cats, bunnies, hamsters, fish and guinea pigs. My friends and family have recommended me to neighbors and family friends to take care of there pets. I feed them, play with them, give them attention, etc!

I live in a safe neighborhood and plenty of neighbors who look after each other, all my animals are very friendly and I also have a crate if needed.
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!

About: I have great knowledge and experience of dogs of all breeds and sizes, and have house sat and walked dogs through rover since I was a kid with my mom. I am experienced in training, introducing, and watching dogs as I have fully trained a male lab puppy, an African mastiff, my personal dog, and a therapy dog! I am currently taking full time college classes online, with two in person weekly. I also work marketing remotely so I have a lot of flexibility as I get to create my own schedule. I also am very fit and like to walk/hike daily finding new trails for me and the pups! I do hourly walks depending on the dog, as well as parks/hikes to make sure they fullfill their energy needs. I also ensure they are let out to use the bathroom on a consistent schedule as well as food and water. I myself have some energy so I do like to run around the backyard and/or play with them lots! If training is requested that is also done on a consistent strict schedule.

About: I've adopted many dogs, but started pet sitting for my much needed "fix" when my kids left the nest and couldn't help if i got another dog while I worked. I have dog sat at other people's house, at my house and do love senior dogs as much as young ones. I'm now retired and want to love on dogs. I just retired so i'm quite flexible. I love walking in general, and would enjoy the company of a pooch or 2. I'm good for just the day, overnight or extended needs. I always considered my own dogs as being family members. That said, they are allowed on the furniture. I have a small fenced back yard if your pooch doesn't want to walk in the rain or needs a late evening potty break. During the daytime, I like to walk a lot so your place or mine to give your dog's legs a stretch. I always have dogs on leash, no free running dogs are allowed in my development. I do belong to the Lower Makefield dog park if you are local and want to add me to your account to bring your dog there.
“Kelsey was amazing! She stayed at my place for 5 days with my dog and he loved her. She sent photos all weekend of how he was doing and kept me updated so I was at peace. I highly recommend her.”

I love taking care of pets so that dont have to go to kennels. It is like a home away from home for them. i have tons of refrences if needed and happy returning customers. hope you will consider me watching your pets.
“I can always trust Rita. I’ve had issues in the past with sitters ensuring that they wouldn’t leave my dog alone for more than 3 hours but have ended up leaving him for 6. Rita, on the other hand, sticks to her word and goes to extra lengths to ensure my dog is comfortable at home. She’s my go to sitter for house sitting, dog sitting, and dog walking. Highly recommend her to folks who need special care for their fur babies.”
About: 🐾 All shots must be up to date prior booking. 🐾 Our goal is to give your pup the best experience possible. We're flexible with drop-offs and pick-ups, anytime between 6:30am and 8pm. Since I have young kids at home, I try to stick to a routine. Hope this isn't too inconvenient for you. If needed, we can easily extend your stay—no worries at all 🦴🐶 All about me! I am an animal interactoinist. I just have a good open sense of character when it comes to animals. I enjoy the love they give and I am in tune with their individual personalities. I have a calm demeanor and I'm am very sensitive to their needs. I love to verbally communicate with them like I do with my human counterparts. I love to walk them especially as a part of my exercise regiment. I love to feed them at their meal times. I love when they are excited to eat! I also enjoy longer than 30 min walks so that the dogs have time to stop and smell and do the things they do. I don't like to rush them during their normal routine. They deserve the best at all times. My consistent daily routine, including feeding, walks, and playtime, helps your pet feel secure and reduces anxiety. I do also start the day with a walk, playtime, or a brief cuddle session to bond with your pet and provide them with exercise and mental stimulation. To foster safety, trust, and a positive environment for your dog, I do provide a stable routine, establish a safe space, and create a bond through positive reinforcement and socialization.

Someone who is on time, tires my boy out with walks and play, and makes my boy feel comfortable enough to take a nap is a five star for me. My dog’s anxiety can be a lot at times. However having him feel comfortable enough to take a nap and not waiting at the door when I get back in my book is huge.
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!

The average cost of House Sitting in Wheat Sheaf is $44 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $44 and $44 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 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 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.
