“We are so fortunate to have found Vitali! If you want to go on vacation and not have to worry about your pets plotting your demise, hire Vitali B! Great communication and our kitties were so relaxed upon our return that they barely noticed us when we walked in to the house. Meow.....”
“This is past due, but we cannot say enough good things about Jason! Our two dogs definitely have some specific needs and he is so understanding about that! Our dogs have a great time with him - even the one who is a little slow to warm up. When Jason stayed with them, he sent us lots of pictures and updates, which definitely put our minds at ease. Highly recommend Jason!!!”
“Izzy was a complete delight to work with! I booked her to house sit and care for our 3 dogs for a long weekend and she was extremely reliable, professional, and responsible. She went above and beyond her duty to care for our dogs and we returned to 3 happy pups and an immaculate house! We will certainly be requesting her services again and again!”

Jess is amazing with animals, highly communicative and very on top of things in general. I would highly recommend her for all housesitting/petsitting work.”

About: I’ve had my own pets in the past and I love all sorts of pets! It brings me serotonin to be with my furry friends! I’ve pet sat for my neighbors, friends, and family members! I will be working full time later this year and wanted to try out this fun side hustle to make extra cash and bring my serotonin levels up! My house has a big yard area! There’s a couple of parks nearby that are also perfect and I have a variety of pet snacks and toys!

About: I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs and cats my entire life! Over my 25 years, my family has had two Rottweilers, a Pitbull, and a cat, all of whom lived long, loved lives before sadly passing from old age. Today, my family has a Cocker Spaniel, several Yorkies, and two cats, all of whom I absolutely adore! Having cared for everything from large, energetic breeds to smaller dogs and cats, I’m comfortable with animals of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. I’ve also experienced caring for pets as they grow older, so I understand the importance of patience, gentleness, and adapting to their needs. I recently moved into my own place, and one of the things I miss most is coming home to my family’s dogs and cats. That’s a big part of why I’d love to become a pet sitter! I genuinely enjoy the companionship animals bring, and I’d be thrilled to give your furry family members the same love, attention, and affection I’ve always given my own. I know pets aren’t just animals; they’re family. My goal is to make sure yours feel just as safe, comfortable, and loved with me as they do with you! My schedule is pretty flexible! I typically work from home or close by, which means I can be a very present and attentive sitter rather than leaving your pets alone for long periods. Whether your pet needs regular walks, feeding, playtime, bathroom breaks, or just someone to keep them company throughout the day, I’m happy to accommodate their routine as much as possible. I’m also open to overnight stays and boarding! Since I live on my own, I have the flexibility to make your pet feel welcome and give them plenty of one-on-one attention. I understand that every pet has different needs, so I’m always happy to communicate and coordinate with owners to find a schedule that works best for everyone! Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort will always be my top priorities! Having grown up caring for several different breeds, including large dogs and smaller companions, I understand that every animal has its own personality, boundaries, and needs. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, I’ll do my best to maintain their usual routine so they feel comfortable and secure. That includes following feeding instructions, keeping up with walks and bathroom breaks, providing plenty of affection, and respecting any specific rules or preferences you have. I recently moved into my own place, where I have a fenced yard for your furry friends to safely enjoy some fresh air, playtime, and exercise! My home offers a peaceful, comfortable environment where your pets can relax and receive plenty of individual attention. I’ll always supervise outdoor activities and make sure your pet feels safe and welcome. I also believe communication is incredibly important! I’m more than happy to send regular pictures, videos, and updates so you can enjoy your time away knowing your furry family member is in good hands. Most importantly, I’ll treat your pets the way I’ve always treated my own: with love, patience, kindness, and lots of cuddles (if they’re into that, of course!).
About: I love dogs. All sizes but I have a soft spot for small dogs. I'm the type that like to do long walks and go to doggie parks. Im currently working full time but I know some people work late nights and their puppies need some loving and affection while they are gone. Im that person to give it. Im free from 5:30 to 9pm. Monday through Friday and 10am to 10pm Saturday and Sunday I know how hard it is to trust someone with your baby (I see all pets as babies) so I take this responsibility very serious. I want you to know how caring and responsible and understanding of the importance of taking care of your puppy. I have some puppy toys and a crate for certain times of the day. Doggy parks are a must as well. Plus im very energetic and love playing
About: I'm a dog-mom of a pup named Bear! I absolutely adore my dog and would share my love with your furry-friend! I've had Bear since he was a puppy and he's now 4. So, I know first hand the level of care needed for puppies and teen dogs. I'm comfortable with cats as well! I've been around kittens and cats for most of my life through many of my friends. So, I'm very comfortable and familiar with the care they need. I work remote, so my schedule is pretty flexible. As long as I have good notice I'm happy to care for your furry-friend! I do ask that if there are any request during regular business hours (8 am- 6 pm), that I can bring my work laptop. I love my dog very much and am really on top of his care/needs, so I completely understand and expect that from pet owners. I welcome any insights or feedback on how you'd like your pet to be cared for. I'll also be sure to provide updates, videos, and photos to show how things are going. I love getting those for my dog, so l'll be sure to provide that to you! I work remote, so my schedule is pretty flexible. As long as I have good notice I’m happy to care for your pup! I do ask that if there are any request during regular business hours (8 am- 6 pm), that I can bring my work laptop. I’m not accepting any boarding requests at the moment, but I’m happy to provide any other service! I love my dog very much and am really on top of his care/needs, so I completely understand and expect that from pet owners.

“Karen took excellent care of Alex and sent wonderful updates with pics while we were away. She followed our care instructuins perfectly and reached out with questions. Alex is a senior cat with complex medical conditions, so we appreciated her attention to detail and empathy. We would gladly have Karen watch Alex again.”
“If I could give Eileen more than five stars, I absolutely would! We hired Eileen to stay in our home for six days while caring for our two dogs, who couldn’t be more different. Our one-year-old Golden Retriever, Lilo, is full of energy, always ready to play, and constantly looking for something to do. Our 16-year-old poodle mix is enjoying his retirement and prefers a much slower, more relaxed pace. Eileen immediately understood both of their personalities and tailored her care to each of them perfectly. She kept Lilo engaged, entertained, and even helped her learn new tricks during the week, while also making sure our senior dog was comfortable, happy, and given all the patience and gentle care he deserves. It was obvious from the updates that both dogs absolutely adored her. One of the things we appreciated most was her communication. She sent us frequent updates, photos, and messages that gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. She followed every instruction we left, paid attention to every detail, and treated our dogs as if they were her own. When we returned home, our house was spotless—honestly, it looked just as good as when we left. It’s rare to find someone who not only takes exceptional care of your pets but also treats your home with the same level of respect and care. The greatest compliment we can give is that we never once worried while we were away. We were able to fully enjoy our trip because we knew our dogs were in the best possible hands. We cannot recommend Eileen highly enough. If you’re looking for someone who is kind, responsible, communicative, trustworthy, and genuinely loves animals, look no further. We will absolutely be booking her again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Wheaton
Angela and her brother, Fernando, did a fantastic job with our senior border collie with epilepsy. They were both extremely attentive to all of our instructions and Fernando sent wonderful videos twice a day. He strikes me as a true dog whisperer. They left our house in tip-top shape. I hope we can get them the next time we go away.
Julia is amazing! She’s been a great dog sitter each time we’ve used her! She sends us photos and written updates and this past time we had a ton of unexpected deliveries that she helped us with. It’s clear she loves all animals and supporting them based on our in person conversations.
Betty was an excellent house and cat sitter while we were away for nearly two weeks. We have two cats who tend to run and hide whenever someone comes into the house, so I was hoping they would warm up to Betty and get some much-needed attention. With patience and care, she won them over! Betty stayed overnight at our house, which gave us peace of mind knowing someone was there to look after things. She sent us pictures and kept us updated throughout our trip. Whenever questions came up, she reached out, and when I checked in to see how things were going, she always responded promptly. She took wonderful care of the cats, kept up with the litter box, and made sure they were happy and comfortable. When we returned home, the cats were content, and the house was in great shape. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter and would happily recommend Betty to anyone looking for someone to care for their home and pets.
Karen stayed with our anxious dog, Gus, while we were away for 5 nights. She took great care of Gus and sent frequent detailed updates and photos which we loved! Gus had some GI upset while we were gone and Karen was so communicative about his symptoms and offered solutions along the way. We are so happy we found a great sitter for Gus that we can trust and we would definitely recommend her!
Vicky was an absolute dream of a house and dog sitter! From start to finish, her communication was top-notch—she kept us completely at ease with regular, thoughtful updates and photos of our dogs. It was clear right away that they were happy, comfortable, and receiving wonderful care. Beyond being fantastic with the dogs, Vicky was the perfect house guest. She went above and beyond by bringing in our mail and packages, and she left our home spotless and well cared for. She is incredibly respectful, reliable, and attentive. We would rebook Vicky in a heartbeat and cannot recommend her highly enough to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet and house sitter!
Christina was a wonderful sitter for our dogs! One of our dogs can be a little skeptical of new people, but she managed to earn his trust on the very first day! She was incredibly communicative, attentive, and caring, and truly treated our dogs as if they were her own. She even offered to stay very late until we were on our way home from the airport, just to make sure they were well taken care of. She genuinely goes above and beyond, and it gave us so much peace of mind knowing our dogs were in such good hands. We couldn’t recommend Christina more highly to anyone looking for someone to care for their fur babies!!
Scott was amazing. He took great care of our 2 dogs and 5 cats!! When we got home they were happy and content. We knew he gave them love and attention throughout the week. Scott was a great communicator, sending lots of photos and videos. I would highly recommend him!
Tamara has stayed with our cat a number of times and is so understanding and patient. After we lost our dog the cat went into a depression for several months and Tamara displayed nothing but love for her. She’s faithful at adhering to a very specific feeding plan since the cat recently had thyroid radiation treatment. We’re very happy to use Tamara for pet care.
Azucena is incredible and we highly recommend her services!!! Our dog is on the shyer side. But, Azucena went above and beyond to make sure our dog is comfortable. Now, our dog loves being with her!! She is very communicative and always provides updates. We are so happy to have found her!
Veronica was a fantastic sitter for my 2 year old Redbone Coonhound River! She kept me updated from the second she stepped through the door until she left. She sent multiple pictures and updates everyday and answered and questions I had promptly and without delay. She is a life saver! I couldn't have asked for a better person to house sit for River. She's beyond great!!
I had such a great experience!! She was incredibly accommodating, considerate, flexible and understanding especially on such short notice.She was also very responsible and attentive, making sure my dog was safe, comfortable, and well cared for throughout the day. I really appreciated the regular updates—it gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was happy and in good hands. Ocean also warmed up to her quickly, which gave me even more confidence that he was safe, comfortable. I would definitely recommend her and will absolutely book again!🐾❤️ Look no more and book with this amazing rover.
Gabby was truly a dream come true! She was available on short notice and was genuinely eager to care for my dog and two cats. From the start, it was clear how much love and attention she gave them. They were incredibly well cared for and happy in her care. When my dog became very sick during her stay, Gabby went above and beyond. She didn’t hesitate to take him to the vet, manage his medications, and stay on top of follow-ups with the veterinary team. Her calmness, responsibility, and willingness to take charge during a stressful situation meant so much to me. Gabby was also wonderful about communicating throughout her stay, regularly sending photos and updates so I always knew how my animals were doing. I highly recommend Gabby to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, kind, responsible, and loving to look after their pets. I would absolutely have her care for my animals again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Wheaton is $47 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $26 and $96 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 November 2026, there are 10,881 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Wheaton. 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 Wheaton 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 Wheaton 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 Wheaton 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Wheaton. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
