“Becca is great! She’s taking care of my foster kitties twice now and is so good with them. I always get detailed reports so I don’t have to worry about them! She also went above and beyond, even coordinating with the rescue so that they could be in the loop with their care.”
About: While I haven't worked professionally in pet care, I've had animals throughout my entire adulthood. I currently share my home with a senior cat and a high-energy medium-sized dog, so I'm comfortable with pets at very different life stages — from playful and active to calm and gentle. I work part-time and study from home most of the week, so my schedule is flexible. Aside from Tuesday mornings, Wednesdays, and Fridays, I'm typically able to spend 30 minutes to an hour per walk or drop-in, giving pets plenty of one-on-one attention. I have a fenced in yard and a friendly dog who LOVES to play. I do have a senior cat but she hangs out downstairs which is gated off and doesn’t have any interest in socializing with dogs. You can count on plenty of photo and video updates throughout our time together, so you always know how your pet is doing.
“Samuel was a wonderful sitter! He was very attentive and responsible, he sent great summaries and pictures, and was flexible when fitting me in last minute. My rambunctious kitty had a great with him!”
About: I am happy to help out with all pets! I have grown up with a range of animals(dogs, cats, turtles, birds, fish) and currently own two cats. I am a teacher, so I am looking to help out in the afternoon or in the evenings. Outside of that, I am pretty flexible. I am calm and adaptable, and willing to let your animal take the lead. I am happy to help out with whatever they need, and prioritize animal comfort and safety!
About: We go all throughout the DMV! I have over 10 years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy and caring to look after your furry family members. We provide attentive care, daily walks, playtime, feeding, medication administration if needed, and plenty of love and companionship. I am committed to making sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. I have a team (my family) that helps me! I also work remotely, which gives me the flexibility to provide attentive care throughout the day. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, or simply some companionship, I can accommodate their routine and provide regular updates while you’re away. My flexible schedule allows me to be available on weekdays, evenings, and weekends as needed. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and needs to ensure they feel secure and well cared for. In your home, I will respect your pet’s established schedule and environment while providing plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I am reliable, detail-oriented, and committed to keeping you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. 🐾
About: I’m an experienced pet owner of cats, dogs, seniors pets, high medical need pets, and just needy in general pets. I am especially enthusiastic about dog walking, and am comfortable with dogs of all shapes and sizes (including large dogs). I have experiencing with medicating dogs and cats, and am comfortable with pets that need an extra close eye due to age or illness. I work from home and am available for daily walks, drop in visits, feeding, medicating, and giving lots of love and attention all day every day. I am available for pet sitting in your home - I unfortunately cannot fit any more paws, tails, or snouts into my house at the moment.
“Sweta helped us how with our fur babies twice . Once last week and once this week. Both the times, Sweta was fast and effective with communication, followed care directions appropriately regarding and was very kind and gentle with the dogs. Both the dogs loved Sweta's company. I felt my fur babies and the house were safe under Sweta's supervision. I gladly plan to rebook Sweta with no doubts. I encourage you to do the same!”
About: I’m adaptable to the specific needs of any pet, whether it be diet, sleep, or their exercise routine. My schedule allows me to spend a lot of time with anxious pets or any who enjoy a lot of interaction, but I respect the boundaries of pets who enjoy their space. I’m currently available full-time. I was laid off this spring due to federal budget cuts and I now spend most of my time coding, reading, or writing. I follow the instructions given by the owner and reach out for clarification if needed. I make sure to take care of all checklist items before the end of the stay.
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!).
“Ilana has now worked with us for almost a year, providing week day visits to our dog during lunchtime. I could not recommend Ilana more highly! She’s very responsive, dependable, and caring with our dog’s needs while we are at work. Thanks Ilana!”
“Christina is GREAT. She took great care of our senior dog. We couldn’t be happier with the care she provided!! She handled his strict medication and diet plan perfectly, and everything was done exactly as instructed!! It’s clear that Christina is a true dog person: patient, attentive, and genuinely kind. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate sitter!”

Mary is absolutely wonderful! I know that my cat Athena is in the best hands when under her care. Mary is always responsive, provides thorough updates, and snaps adorable photos. She has a repeat customer here and I would absolutely recommend her to care for other’s pets!!
Karen did an excellent job taking care of Chester and Kate. She spent time brushing, petting and playing with them. We enjoyed seeing Karen's daily updates and photos. In addition to taking great care of our kitties, Karen took packages for us. Thank you for all of your great work and support! Job well done!
Scott was absolutely AMAZING with our trio of kitties! We knew he was 100% legit when our very shy kitty (who NEVER comes out for strangers) came out on the second visit and is opening up to Scott. I look forward to having Scott return in the near future to take care of our kitties.
Joe is amazing! My old kitty warmed up to him and connected to him right away. He definitely speaks animals! He was able to get my kitty his inhaler every day while we were gone, and I know that has been challenging with previous sitters. He was very patient and kind with my cat and gave great updates. 10/10 recommend Joe to care for your furbabies.
Liza was a lifesaver and accepted our request for a drop in visit with only a few days notice. She took great care of our cat. We appreciated the pictures she sent and it was obvious our cat, who is normally very scared around strangers, was very happy, relaxed and comfortable around her. Would definitely recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Wheaton is $21 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $39 per visit. 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 17,378 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Wheaton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Wheaton. On Rover:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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.
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.
