About: I’ve had dogs and cats for as long as I can remember. My personal pet journey started with hamsters and the kittens in my grandmother’s horse barn. As I grew older, my experiences grew to exotics such as ferrets and birds. Then in my young adulthood I became a receptionist for an animal hospital and an animal E.R. There I became a vet tech as well. I later became a tech for large animals. I also volunteered for a private zoo handling the large reptiles, lions and tigers, and the petting zoo. Oh my! After 15 years I could no longer work regular jobs. I became disabled due to the migraines I get. Along the way, I had my own reptile rescue, took care of diabetic cats and people, and rescued different dogs, cats, reptiles, rats, and birds that needed loved. Currently, I don’t have any dogs of my own. I lost her in August 2025. I do however live with my mom who has 2 small dogs in which I take care of every day. I have to feed them their raw diet twice daily. One of them is diabetic and requires insulin at feeding times which is on a regular schedule. The pets I do have at the moment include a sassy cat, a grumpy bearded dragon, my son’s 2 newly hatched call ducks that are his ESAs. His hamster and rabbit, and a fish passed away in May. Our Sun Conure passed away a couple of years ago. She was 27 years old. And when I say my son’s, I pretty much take care of them considering he’s almost 8. I’m willing to help with other animals as well as dogs and cats since I have experience with pretty much all animals. I’ll be doing some horse care in the fall which I can’t wait for since I grew up with horses and have working experience with them. I also take care of the goats, chickens, ducks, and rabbits on an educational farm. So as I said, I’m definitely open to care for more than just dogs and cats even though dogs and cats are awesome! I’m usually a stay at home mom so my hours are flexible. I’m mostly free from 8:30a.m. Until about 3p.m. Monday through Thursday. Friday I’m available only until 1:30p.m. Saturdays and Sundays could be possible depending on my mom’s schedule. I’m a single mom and she’s my only babysitter. If you don’t mind him tagging along - if your pets are kid friendly - then I’m absolutely available. He is very good with animals. But, I would prefer to be able to focus solely on your fur baby. I also currently work with Snipes Farm going to schools and teaching farm to table cooking. I also am part of taking care of their chickens, ducks, goats, and rabbits. I usually work with them 1 day a week or so. I know my schedule ahead of time so I can work around it accordingly. I make sure all doors are locked and clean up after your pet. I wash their dishes after feeding. I make sure they are happy and safe according to your guidelines. I treat them as if they were my own. I send pics usually to let you know how they’re doing. As far as walking and possible interactions, I avoid other people and animals, just to keep everyone safe. I don’t want another animal or person to harm your pet.
“My husband and I can not say enough good things about Abbie. We had not taken a vacation in a few years due to concerns about our energetic newly adopted boy and our aging girl. She was so gentle, calm, understanding and took such good care of them. She provided us thoughtful updates while we were gone and they were happy when we got home. Peace of mind is absolutely priceless. Thank you Abbie for everything and we will see you again soon!”
“Emma was very responsive with me and sent me pictures and videos of Darby while I was away. She followed all of my instructions perfectly, and I know Darby was well cared for!”
“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!”
“This is my second booking with Michael. He is 100% reliable and my dog loves him! He took care of my pool and my plants. He communicated very well and sent me pics and updates every day. Would highly recommend booking Michael!”
“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”
“Pat has developed a great relationship with Henry and took him on a very lengthy walk. It’s great knowing that Henry is getting attention and exercise while I’m gone.”
“Marissa was wonderful. I was lucky enough to get her on very short notice to do in-house overnight visits with my cat. Marissa was professional, communicative, and generally gave me great peace of mind while I was away I will definitely be rebooking the next time I’m going out of town!”
“Alexis was a great sitter for our two big pups! She spent a lot of time with them and sent daily photos! She followed all the feeding and sleeping instructions and we came back to a clean house! She even left treats and cupcakes for us to give the pups on our return!”
“Ruth is an incredible sitter and we can’t wait to use her again! She’s so friendly and naturally gets along with both dogs and cats so well. She was very communicative, sent adorable pics and kept us updated the whole time. So glad we found her!”
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.
About: Hello! My name is Makula and I want to offer my skills to you! I’ve been dog walking and sitting for a over 3 years now and I have found it to be an amazing and fun job to have. Services: I’m available for pet siting, check ins and dog walks. Available on weekdays and weekends! I have a license and my own car and I’m willing to travel at most a 30-40 mile radius from North Versailles,PA. I also offer cat care and I’m willing to take care and board cats or kittens. Contact: For any offers please shoot me a text or an email and I’ll try to get back to you as soon as I can. I check emails and texts frequently so expect a reply ASAP! I work part time but I’ll have plenty of time to take care of your buddy. Free all day Tuesdays through Saturday. Can walk any day of the week. I live in an unfenced area but there’s plenty of space to walk. It’s a quiet and slow paced neighborhood. I do have a crate for dogs with crate training only if instructed to do so.
“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!”
“This was our second time using Karren -- this time we had her stay with our pup in our home for 2 nights. Karren was very caring with our dog during thunderstorms and also was very helpful with making sure our home was secure during it. We appreciate her partnership!”
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 much experience with pups! From corgis to golden retrievers to Bernese mountain dogs, I have cared for dogs dating back 5 years. I enjoy playing with them, taking them on walks, and making sure they have everything they need while you are away!! 🥰❤️ I currently work full time, but have flexible hours as some weeks I have plenty of time during the week and weekends. Pretty open to any hours as long as I'm off!! I will make sure your dog is cared for and played with while I walk them and/or are with them!! 😆 Whether it's taking them out for the bathroom, walking around, or just keeping them company.

“Kira was a great house sitter for my cat Peroni. She gave him lots of play time and was good at sending updates. She understood his personality, took good care of my apartment, and he is happy as a clam! I will be using Kira for sits and drop ins in the future and highly recommend her services.”

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 September 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 September 2026, there are 5,361 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Wheat Sheaf. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
