“Savannah was amazing with my 2 pups. She’s so kind and definitely loves animals! I loved getting pictures throughout my work day. She spent the day at my house while I was at work and respected my home. She is also very punctual! Thanks, Savannah- Can’t wait to have you back!”
“Lauren is absolutely phenomenal! I don’t leave my dog with too many people - she’s my baby (and quite particular/quirky about things) She went above and beyond with Nova. Her communication was wonderful, she sent photos and reassuring messages letting me know how their day/evening was, and she was friendly!!! Good vibes immediately and felt completely at ease leaving my dog in her care. Can’t say enough good things!! 💛🐕”
“Great to receive lots of pictures of our fur babies while we were gone. Responsible sitter with good communication and care of the dogs. Will definitely use again.”
“Excellent! This was the first time we used Rover. Holly was absolutely wonderful. She sent us a pic every day, with a little detail on how our Chloe was doing. She even brought over some tennis balls to play with. I had left very detailed instructions on how to care for Chloe—probably more than was necessary. Holly was very gracious and reassuring. Just a great experience.”
“We loved having Alexia stay with our pup! We came home to a happy bouncing pup, and we knew he was so very well taken care of by the way Alexia sent pictures every day, having all kinds of cuddles and fun. Would recommend her 110 % and can’t wait to have her sit for us again.”
About: Hello, I'm Rebecca. I'm 28 years old. I've always been an animal lover. I live with my parents who have had multiple dogs over the course of my lifetime. Being the only child still living with them, I've become their dog sitter anytime they leave for a trip, etc. I began experiencing disabling health issues right out of high school and resorted to dog sitting as a way to make money as I was not able to hold a "real" job. I grew to love it. I'm healthier now and looking to find more opportunities outside of friends, family, and neighbors. I would love to broaden my horizons and care for fur babies full time. I'm currently unemployed and have a very open schedule. I have experience caring for puppies, elderly dogs, and anything in between. I know how to administer medication and clean up accidents due to my past elderly dogs having health complications. I also have experience caring for rabbits and cats. After the passing of my 9 year old rabbit in June 2025, I felt like a piece of me was missing. Only a couple months later, I started dog walking for a woman in my neighborhood daily and it helped me through the grief of losing my bunny. That's what caused my desire to dog sit/walk to grow even more. It is said that "time heals all wounds" but the unconditional love from a furry friend really helps pass the time. I'm also a house plant lover. If needed I can water and care for any houseplants during overnight sittings. No more worrying about your beloved pets or plants while you're away! With me you can have peace of mind that they're all in good hands. I'm currently unemployed. I have a very open schedule except for weekdays from Noon-1pm (when I dog walk in my neighborhood). I have 2 separate church events scheduled on the 4th Saturday of every month. Scheduling walks or drop in visits can be tricky that day because the events don't always have a set time. I can dog sit at your home on those 4th Saturdays as long as I am able to leave for a couple hours for the events. During drop-in visits/walks I rinse and refill water bowls, replace empty treat toys, clean up any accidents that may have occurred, play with your fur baby to release any pent up energy they might have, and complete any other duties you may have for me. I pay close attention during potty breaks and notify the owners if anything is out of the ordinary. When dog sitting I can stay at your home overnight if needed. If not I can check in as often as you'd like. I can provide updates through out the day and pictures so cute you'll want to frame them.
“Great dog and home caretaker! We were out of the country on vacation and had a snowstorm and home plumbing issue while we were gone. McKenzi was a champ and handled it all and kept our dog happy and healthy throughout.”
“Sabrina was amazing with my pups. Sabrina was very professional. Sabrina was quick to respond to messages and work with us on such short notice. If your looking for the perfect sitter, look no further than Sabrina.”
“Kimberly did an exceptional job. The house was clean when we got home and better yet our babies were happy and healthy! This was our first dealing with Kimberly, but it certainly will not be our last. Thank you for photos, your attention to medications, etc. You live up to all your wonderful reviews and then some!”
“Samantha was amazing! She took such great care of all our pets. Our dog was so relaxed when we got home. This was also a last minute booking since our sitter bailed on us and she really saved the day. She sent lots of updates and pics too so we could see all our babies being well care for. We’ll absolutely use her service in the future.”
“This was the first time I have used Rover and had Eli as a sitter. He made us feel comfortable with having him care for our pets from the beginning. The night before we left our 12 year old shitzu had a small infection and was giving 3 meds. Eli took care of everything as prescribed and gave us several updates, easing our mind and allowing us to enjoy our trip knowing everything was fine.”
“I’m so glad I tried looking for another sitter and found Karina! She did a fantastic job! She truly cared for Zoey and made time to know her, and eventually they became buddies! Zoey has a separation anxiety and could be difficult to handle (she won’t leave the house even to go potty). But Karina took effort & was so patient with Zoey and made sure she got to potty for the day. The house was the same as how we left it. I definitely will book Karina again even for drop ins! Thank you so much, Karina! We appreciate you so much!”
About: Although I am a cat mom of two, I also have deep care and compassion for dogs of all kinds! Since I was 16 years old, I have volunteered on and off at my local humane society, giving care to all animals. Care including: ensuring all dishes and laundry are fresh and clean, cleaning cages, feeding, as well as giving love & attention to each cat and dog! I also have had the honor of caring after my neighbors dog for about a year. This care included: taking him on walks and playing with him every 2-3 hours, feeding him, as well as giving plenty of love and pets! I’m currently working part-time, so I will have plenty of quality time to spend with your furry friend! During the week/weekends, I do not have a set work schedule, however I am flexible to work around my start and end times! If needed, I am able to easily crate your dog, I am able to take any precautions of care, as well as take upon requests that your fur baby may need during his/her time with me.
About: Hi! I’m a dogaholic. I have experience taking care of labs, great danes, staffordshire terriers, and my personal favorite: GOLDEN RETRIEVERS! My walks give dogs the structure and clarity they need to live better lives and lead to a better relationship between dog and owner. Let’s talk! I work at Chipotle in Portage but typically that doesn’t interfere with dog walking and visits. Contact me today for specifics and we can get you booked asap! Safety is my #1 priority. I am pet CPR certified, which I think all pet owners should consider getting (it’s a $25 course y’all!). Especially those with larger breeds, which are more susceptible to heart attacks. Know the signs of heart attacks, dehydration, and heat exhaustion. Finally, I ask all my new dog-owners if there is any medical history, allergies, disabilities, or medication I need to be aware of before caring for that animal.
About: Hi, I’m Sabrina! I have over 7 years of experience with animals, including time in vet clinics, zoos, and dog daycares. I also did vet assisting for 7 years. I now focus on training, pet sitting, and spending time with animals full-time. I train my Cane Corso in various dog sports using a fair and positive balanced training approach that builds trust, structure, and confidence. I also have chickens, a cat, and a snake — so I’m comfortable with all kinds of pets! Your animals will be safe, loved, and well-cared for with me. I treat every pet like my own and believe play and connection are just as important as routine care. Let me know how I can help! I care for my animals daily—feeding my chickens, handling my snake, and cuddling my cat. I train and do dog sports with my two dogs every day, keeping them active and happy outdoors. I bring the same love, routine, and attention to every pet I care for. I prioritize safety, trust, and comfort when caring for pets, whether in my home or yours. I have a laid-back Cane Corso and a young, energetic hunting prospect GSP, so I’m experienced balancing calm time with fun, engaging activities like scent work. I tailor care to each pet’s needs, providing gentle attention, plenty of exercise, and a secure environment where they feel safe and loved.
About: With 30 years of experience caring for pets, I specialize in providing personal care that honors your pet's exact routines. As an overnight stay veteran, I keep animals calm and secure in their own environment while minimizing separation anxiety. Whether your dog thrives on long, energetic walks or prefers quiet companionship, I customize every experience to keep them safe, active, and happy while you are away. I have a very flexible schedule this summer! Whether you need a drop in, dog walk, or require an overnight stay, I'm here to help! To give you complete peace of mind, I provide daily photo and text updates so you can see exactly how your pet is thriving. While staying in your home, I'm also happy to bring in the mail, take out the trash, and water your plants. This ensures your home stays secure and well-maintained while your pets enjoy their familiar daily routines.
“Allie was very attentive and communicated every time she stopped by the house to let the dogs out. She sent pictures every time as well as a couple videos. The dogs loved her company and they were well cared for!”
About: Hello, I'm Katie! I helped my mom run a cat rescue for over 8 years (that includes waking up every 2 hours to bottle feed, giving medication, handling moody kitties, cleaning up constant messes, etc). Since then, I've been trusted to pet sit for friends, coworkers, and family members. I have more experience house sitting with cats than dogs, but I love all pets equally and would be so happy to meet them! I offer overnight stays/house sitting, drop-ins, and dog walking. I am currently pet sitting full time. I am available on weekdays and weekends however early or late as needed, and for as many drop-ins as needed. My schedule is very flexible! The care and safety of your pet is the most important thing to me. I make sure to keep human food out of reach along with plastic bags, cords, or other potentially harmful items. I always try to keep pets entertained, happy, and out of trouble. I am a very clean person and will never leave a mess behind, I can assure your home will be well looked after. I can provide photo or text updates as often as needed!

FAQs for House Sitting - Wheeler
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 726 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Wheeler. 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 Wheeler 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 Wheeler 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 Wheeler 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.
