“Lez did a wonderful job cat and house sitting while we were out of town for the week. There was easy communication via text while we were away. Our senior cat enjoyed her company and care. We returned to a well kept home and we wouldn’t hesitate to use Lez’s services again.”

“Samantha was absolute perfection! Leaving our dogs is always stressful, but Samantha put our minds completely at ease from day one. They followed every instruction for feeding and routines precisely. We received wonderful daily updates with photos and texts that made us smile while we were away. When we came home, our house was spotless and our pet was happy, relaxed, and well-cared-for. We will definitely book with her again and recommend to everyone!"”

“We have never had anyone stay at our house with our animals before, so the idea of leaving them with a complete stranger was very daunting. Sydney was absolutely wonderful with our two big, rambunctious dogs (2 year old huskies) and four cats. Our house was exactly as we left it and she sent lots of updates so we could see everyone’s sweet faces and how much fun they were having without us! She was terrific about updating us when she got here and letting us know how everything was going. She was always very responsive through the whole process, and it was very clear our animals were all comfortable and enjoying their normal routine with her. We will absolutely have Sydney back, and I would 100% recommend her to anyone!”

About: I’ve always loved dogs and have had dogs most of my life. I have two dogs of my own, so I know how much they mean to their owners and how important it is to have someone you can trust with them. I’m very hands on with my dogs and enjoy taking them on walks, playing with them, spending time outside, and just hanging out with them. I’m comfortable with big dogs, high energy dogs, and dogs that just want some love and attention. I’ll treat your dog like they’re my own and make sure they’re safe, comfortable, and well taken care of. I work full-time Tuesday through Saturday from 7:00 AM to 3:30 PM, so I’m available for pet care after 3:30 PM on those days. I’m available all day Sunday and Monday. I’m pretty flexible with my schedule and will do my best to work around your needs. I can usually accommodate walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays with a little notice. I’m also happy to work out a schedule that keeps your dog comfortable and on their normal routine while you’re away. I know it can be stressful leaving your dog and your home with someone you don’t know, so I take that responsibility seriously. I’ll treat your home with respect, keep things clean and secure, and make sure your dog is safe, comfortable, and getting plenty of attention. I’m reliable, respectful, and easy to communicate with. I’ll follow your instructions and your dog’s normal routine, and I’ll keep you updated while you’re away so you know everything is going well.

“Our Dog, Hamilton, is 8. Right after his 8th birthday, he was diagnosed with diabetes. He also developed cataracts due to his illness, and lost his vision within days. We were terrified to leave him! Our four children are grown and Hamilton is our "baby" now. This past weekend, we had to attend a family wedding out-of-town in Sacramento. We stressed so much, but finally found Shannon. She was above and beyond caring and kind. We stayed in a hotel in Sacramento and Shannon came there to care for him. He was so happy and cared for. She sent me many photos and videos throughout the evening so we could see how he was doing. I could not say enough about how strongly I would recommend Shannon. If we travel to Sacramento again, she is the one we would ask for, hands down!!”

“Taylor did a fantastic job with our Toby. He can be a real pill but she knew how to care for him. I would never have known by his behavior that we were gone almost 2 weeks. She was punctual and handled a medical situation with him very appropriately. I will definitely hire her again. Oh and the house was spotless and even clean sheets for two weary travelers. Thanks again.”

“Lorena was absolutely wonderful with our special needs dog, Yuri. From the start, she was kind, attentive, and followed all of his care instructions perfectly—including his strict medication schedule and extra potty encouragement. She even stayed longer at the last minute when we needed extra help, which we were so grateful for. Yuri can be very shy and particular, but he clearly felt safe with Lorena—and that says everything. We would absolutely trust her with his care again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible, compassionate pet sitter! 💛🐾”

“A week before our trip our family member cancelled watching our 3 dogs and home. We panicked! I remembered seeing Jennifer’s dog sitting ad on Facebook. I downloaded Rover on my phone and set up my account. I looked all through Rover till I found her. She immediately contacted me back and we set up a meet and greet to see how she was around the dogs. She was great, very sweet and caring with our pups! We hired her through Rover which was a very easy process. She sent updates with pictures throughout the weekend. They even all ate their dinners for her which is a challenge for my Yorkie and Havanese. I greatly appreciated the updates and pictures throughout the trip. I would highly recommend Jenifer for the love and care of your pets while you’re away. She’s trustworthy, dependable, and awesome communication.”

About: My love for animals began as a child and while I’m a nurse in profession my true passion is caring for our furry friends! My home is warm and safe. I’m physically capable of and used to walking dogs of all sizes. I understand that pets are family and it is my top priority to keep them safe. In addition, I also respect ones privacy and home. Your home will be treated as such and protected by ensuring doors shut and locked completely. I mind my business and give your animals the love and attention they deserve. I get to do what I love and get paid for it, your animals are happy and you have peace of mind....it’s a win win situation :-) I am a stay at home mom. So I am present majority of the time. A typical day would consist frequent potty breaks, water/meal, walks and socializing at the dog parks. I provide loving attention, direction and care. I have two dog parks in my apartment complex to enjoy as well as a trail. Animals are always treated like family in my care.

About: Animals have been a cherished part of my life for as long as I can remember. I have many years of personal experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities, as well as cats. I understand that every animal is unique, with their own routines, preferences, and ways of communicating. I am a mature, compassionate, and responsible professional employed full-time with the State of California. My background also includes many years in education, leadership, and positions requiring a high level of trust, patience, and attention to detail. I have also 20+ years of house/petting sitting experience. My approach to pet care is grounded in kindness, attentiveness, consistency, and respect. I believe animals thrive when they feel safe, loved, and understood. Whether your pet enjoys energetic walks, playful companionship, quiet affection, or simply having someone nearby, I take the time to understand what makes them comfortable and happy. I am especially interested in overnight and extended house-sitting opportunities. I understand how important it is to know that your beloved animals and home are being cared for while you're away. I treat each home with respect and every pet with the same tenderness and consideration I give my own. I am happy to provide regular updates and photographs, follow established feeding and care routines, and accommodate reasonable special requests. My goal is simple: to give you genuine peace of mind and help your pets feel secure, content, and loved until you return. I currently work in the office, Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday (general 8 hour day with flexibility) and Wednesdays I work remote. Saturdays and Sundays I'm available all day. I'm a home centered person, so I'll have plenty of time to give companionship and play. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my highest priorities. I believe that animals feel most secure when they are surrounded by familiar sights, smells, and routines, which is why I especially enjoy caring for pets in their own homes. With more than 25 years of house and pet-sitting experience, I understand the importance of providing a safe, peaceful, and nurturing environment while respecting each pet's individual personality and needs. I carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications when applicable, exercise, household routines, and any special care requirements. I pay close attention to your pet's behavior, appetite, comfort, and overall well-being, and I take care to keep doors, gates, and other potential hazards secure. I treat every home with the same respect and consideration I would want for my own. I maintain a clean and orderly environment, respect your privacy and belongings, and ensure your home is secure throughout your absence. Communication is especially important to me. I am happy to provide regular updates, photographs, and reassurance so you can feel connected to your pets while you're away. As a full-time State of California employee, I maintain a dependable professional schedule and am especially well suited for pets who are comfortable with their owners working during the day. I provide attentive care before and after work, overnight companionship, and additional time together on weekends. Above all, I want you to return home to happy, relaxed pets and a home that has been lovingly and responsibly cared for.

The home and yard were taken care of as well. I am incredibly grateful to know him and have him in our home. He’s caring of all. He goes more than an extra mile to take care of things.”

About: Animals have been part of my life since I was an early adult, and caring and connecting with them comes naturally. As a wellness coach, husband and father of two, I’m big on structure, patience, and creating a calm, safe inviting environment for every dog I work with. I’m active outdoors, hiking, walking trails, and exploring around in the neighborhood, so your dog will get plenty of movement and attention. I will always adapt movement and attention needs to your liking. I’ve handled everything from high-energy pups to gentle senior dogs, and I’m confident with feeding routines, medication reminders, crate-training basics, and helping anxious dogs feel secure. I treat every pet like my own and keep owners updated with photos, check-ins, and clear communication so you always know your dog is in good hands. Whether your dog needs long walks, overnight care, or a dependable companion while you’re away, I bring consistency, kindness, and professional-level responsibility to every stay. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I work from home and set my own schedule. I’m already outdoors often, walking, working on the yard, biking, or taking my own dog out around the neighborhood or on the trails, so adding your pup into my day is a seamless fit. I’m available for boarding service either at my home or yours for 2-4 days during the week and weekend boarding requests as well. Your dog will always get consistent attention, movement, and care, never rushed or squeezed into a busy schedule. I provide a calm, structured environment that helps dogs feel comfortable the moment they arrive. My home in Fair Oaks has a large, fenced yard with plenty of safe space to explore. Outdoor time is always supervised, gates stay secured, and I keep clear routines for feeding, play, and rest so dogs settle in smoothly. We have two friendly dogs of our own, a Papillon and a Min Pin/Jack Russell mix, who enjoy having new companions around. They’re social, well-behaved, and help create an easygoing atmosphere for visiting pups. If a dog prefers their own space, I can separate areas to make sure everyone feels relaxed. For boarding in my home, I do require that dogs are potty trained. If you’re still working on potty training, I’m more than happy to support that process in your home. I’m also comfortable with crate routines, senior care, medication reminders, and maintaining whatever structure your dog is used to. As a father and longtime pet owner, safety and communication are top priorities, I send photo updates and check-ins so you always feel connected while you’re away.

FAQs for House Sitting - Wheatland

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Wheatland is $24 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $30 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.

As of October 2026, there are 2,356 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Wheatland. 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 Wheatland 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 Wheatland 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.

<b>Tip:</b> 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 Wheatland 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Wheatland. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.
