“Carrington is simply put an amazing dog sitter. You can feel it from the moment you meet her that this isn’t just a job to her it’s her passion. My dogs fell in love with her from our meet & greets to now getting to spend a full day of fun & play. I was dreading losing a day with my pups due to work but I can honestly say it was a blessing in disguise. Obi & Koda are ready to wind down after a long day of fun with their new best friend. She kept me informed from beginning to end, no anxiety or feeling of dread I know they were both happy all day long with the most adorable pictures as proof. Thank you so much Carrington!”
“Christina took wonderful care of my dog & cat! She is very helpful, detail-oriented & caring. It was so nice coming home to happy pets & a clean space. I’d highly recommend hiring her!”
“Carla was INCREDIBLE! She sent us many photo updates of her and our dog which made our trip out of town just that much sweeter. She also left the house cleaner than she found it! Highly recommend booking with Carla!”
About: As a former veterinary assistant with hands-on experience in animal care, I’m confident in handling pets of all ages, including administering medications and senior care. I’m calm and reliable, and I treat every animal like my own. Whether your pet needs cuddles, exercise, or special attention, I provide loving, professional care you can count on. I’m currently pursuing my Bachelor’s degree online, which gives me a flexible schedule. I have plenty of time to prioritize your pet’s needs and provide consistent, loving care. In clients' homes, I follow all care instructions closely—feeding, fresh water, playtime, litter cleanup, and medication if needed. I ensure pets feel safe, loved, and stress-free.
About: I’ve had pets my whole life as well as experience watching dogs of all ages, including puppies. I am also regularly active and can handle even the most energetic of dogs. As a runner, I am open to long walks of any kind in all conditions and can ensure your dog will be in good hands. I’m a recent highschool graduate and full time college student with previous job experience in the food service industry. That being said, I’m am pretty flexible schedule wise and will be available most times during the summer. Willing to negotiate price range to best accommodate your needs! I have a securely fenced backyard, a friendly senior aged dog, and a safe home for your pet to reside in should you need them to stay with me.
“My dog loves visits with Lez D. I know she is in excellent and kind hands. Lez D goes on walks, gives cuddles and plays with my pup. It eases my mind when I have to go out of town. Thank you so much.”
“I would like to thank her for taking care of my puppies they mean a lot to me. This young lady did everything she said she was going to do and everything we talked about.”
“Ben took excellent care of my spicy kitten who wanted nothing to do with him. He is a soft spoken gentleman who eventually got her to trust him enough to play with him, even though there were soft hisses of protest when he tried to pet her, she didn’t run away. So if she was truly upset she would have been gone. I’ll have him back for sure to keep an eye on her and her separation anxiety at bay.”
About: I've taken care of doggies ever since I can rememeber. I've always had dogs growing up. I currently have 2 dogs and 2 cats! I have a perfectly open schedule! So when you need me I am always available! I can't wait to work with you and your sweet babies. I will come into your home and make sure your pets are cared for and loved.

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. While living in Australia, I spent two months walking and house sitting an Alaskan Malamute, which taught me a lot about handling large, high-energy dogs with care and confidence. I’ve also walked and cared for dogs belonging to friends and family, so I’m familiar with a variety of breeds and temperaments. On the feline side, I have three rescue cats of my own, all former strays, and I regularly foster kittens, so I’m experienced with cats of all ages; from bottle babies to seniors. I also love visiting cat sanctuaries just to spend time with the kitties. Whether it’s dogs or cats, I’m passionate about giving animals the love, attention, and respect they deserve. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine because my schedule is currently wide open. I'm in between career paths right now, which gives me the flexibility and time to fully dedicate myself to the pets I care for. Whether it's early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening visits, I can easily adapt to your pet’s schedule and needs. This also means I’m available for last-minute bookings and longer stays when needed. Caring for animals brings me a lot of joy, and I love being able to make it a meaningful part of my daily life. When I care for pets in a client’s home, my top priority is to ensure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved; just as they would if you were home. During house sitting, I stay in your home and closely follow your pet’s usual routine, whether that includes feeding, medication, walks, playtime, or quiet companionship. I also keep your home clean, secure, and tidy, watering plants if needed, and making sure everything is just as you left it. For drop-in visits, I provide personalized care and attention, including feeding, fresh water, cleaning litter boxes or backyard potty breaks, administering medications when required, and spending quality time playing or cuddling. Whatever your pet needs to feel relaxed and cared for while you're away. When it comes to dog walking, safety is always my number one priority. I use secure harnesses or leashes, avoid busy or high-traffic areas, stay alert to other animals and potential distractions, and tailor each walk to your dog’s pace and energy level. I never walk dogs off-leash and always ensure they’re hydrated and comfortable before and after each outing. Plus, I send regular updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.

FAQs for House Sitting - Wheatland
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Wheatland on Rover is $23.54 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 2,454 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.
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 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 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.

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.
