“August is fantastic! He stayed with our dog (age 9) and cat (age 1) during Thanksgiving. He communicated very week by sending request texts and pics of the pets. The house was spotless and he washed the sheets/ towels he used. We’d completely recommend him to anyone and love for him to come back.”
“Santiago was very flexible and available when I needed a last minute booking for a sitting. Zoey had a great visit and was well taken care of. Santiago made sure to have my place spick and span when I arrived home after a long day of travel and emotional weekend with my family. Most certainly would book again!”
About: Animals have always been my biggest passion, and caring for them brings immense joy to my life. With over a year of hands-on experience in pet sitting, I am dedicated to providing a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for your furry family members. I understand how important it is to find someone you can fully trust with your pets. Whether it's playtime, long walks, or just cozy cuddles, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I am looking forward to dedicating myself even more to this work and building wonderful connections with both pets and their owners! I work during the day, but my schedule allows me to seamlessly fit pet care into my mornings, evenings, and weekends. I am also available for house sitting, meaning I can stay right at your home to keep your pets company and maintain their routine while you are away. Whether it is morning/evening walks, feeding times, or overnight stays, I ensure your pets receive consistent attention and care. Safety, cleanliness, and trust are my absolute top priorities. Coming from a background in childcare as a nanny, I am highly vigilant, responsible, and observant. I am also a very meticulous person when it comes to cleanliness and organization, meaning your pet will always be in a hygienic, hazard-free, and safe environment. I always ensure that doors and gates are secure, dangerous items are out of reach, and pets are closely supervised both indoors and during walks. You can trust that I will protect and care for your furry family member just as carefully as I would a child.
“Alicia took great care of our cats! We had just moved into our new home and she was very understanding of the fact that everything was still in boxes and sort of a mess. She provided consistent updates and photos when the cats weren’t hiding!”
“Brenna is reliable and a great communicator. She has pet sit for my cat several times now. She goes above and beyond to make sure she is well cared for. So grateful for Brenna!”
“We are so grateful for Lucy and the wonderful care she provided for our pups while we were away. From the moment we met her, we felt at ease knowing they were in good hands. Lucy was attentive, responsible, and clearly has a natural connection with animals. It was such a relief to know our dogs were not only well cared for, but truly happy and safe. We came home to relaxed, content pups and a well-kept home. We highly recommend Lucy to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving dog sitter.”
About: Hello and thank you for your time and consideration. I recently sold my home in VT, US and I'm setting out on adventures and travels. I am a traveling pet sitter. I've recently completed some very successful pet sits in Pennsylvania, Virginia, New York, Colorado and the UK. I enjoy matching my love of traveling with my love of animals, and enjoy meeting new friends as well. My children live in CO, so I always find myself in the Boulder area often. I love animals and enjoy the comfort they bring along with those special moments. I am a retired professional with years of experience in my profession - I was a public school teacher for over 30+ years. I am a never smoker. I only tell you this so that you get a sense that I am a responsible individual with life experience in taking care of a home, as well as taking care of beloved pets. I used to have a black lab named Mollie who passed away and I still carry her dog tags on my key chain to this day (growing up, we also had several shetland ponies). Mollie was a very special puppy. As a loving pet owner I'm sure you understand and I take my responsibilities very seriously. I would welcome to care for them according to your instructions. I have had many experiences caring for pets of all ages, including those very active youngin's, those with a little more years under their belt, and those in need of medical attention . Walks, etc. would be according to your direction and their energy levels. Thank you again for considering me, and I hope that you find me favorable, and if you have any questions, I'd be more than willing to set up a time to speak. Please be sure to check out my reviews, and I can furnish more reviews that I have received outside this app. I am proud of the care that I provide to my pet friends, as well as the lovely homes entrusted in my care. Sam My daily/weekly/monthly schedule is pretty flexible. I am a traveling pet sitter, so my time is pretty much dictated by my location, availability and my clients. According to my experiences, clients are very specific about the care they would like to have for their family pet(s). Usually they leave me detailed instructions highlighting feeding schedules, walking instructions, play likes/dislikes, medication schedules, and any other instructions needed for me to provide the best care possible for their specific pet's needs.
“Julieanne was fantastic with my two high energy dogs on a pretty short notice booking. I came home to two very well cared for and content puppies and a very neatly kept house. Highly recommended sitter, great communication throughout”
About: I care for each pet like it’s my own, and help correct behavioral issues with kindness and compassion. Dogs are social creatures, and having my own pet during the care of yours helps with blind spots that we may have as pet parents. I guarantee your dog will want to come back. I do consulting work, so I set my own schedule and hours. I prefer spending time with the dogs than finance (my profession) and will always make time for my favorite pets! I have my own dog, Alfie, so your pet will always have a big brother to guide them through the neighborhood on walks and in the dog park. I give dogs as much independence as possible, to help ensure your dog will have freedom to run and expend energy. Follow Ami’s Petsitting Club on instagram to see our daily activities! I post pictures daily while your pet is staying with me.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, so I have plenty of experience caring for them and understanding their different personalities and needs. I absolutely love dogs of all breeds and sizes and enjoy spending time playing, walking, and giving them lots of attention. I’m currently studying Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at CU Boulder with hopes of becoming a veterinarian. I’m responsible, patient, and loving, and I’ll always treat your dog like my own! As a college student at CU Boulder, I have a flexible schedule outside of my classes that allows me to dedicate time to pet care. I love spending time with animals, so incorporating walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention into my daily routine is something I genuinely enjoy. I’m great at managing my time and making sure every pet gets the love and care they deserve! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owner is away. I follow their usual routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I understand that every pet has different needs and personalities, so I make sure to give them plenty of attention and patience. I also keep their space clean and provide regular updates and pictures so owners can feel confident their pets are in good hands!
About: Hi! My name is Maya Winkler and I am a CU boulder graduate (sko buffs!) I was raised with four dogs and have been working with animals since I was about 14 years old. My experience includes interning at various animal hospitals as well as animal shelters, working at 2 separate doggy/cat daycares and boarding, and professionally dog walking and sitting. I am and have always been a genuine animal lover who wants nothing more than to help you and your pet! I am happy to help in any means, I am here to make you and your pets life easier :) I am very flexible in regards to rates and hours, and I am very willing to take care of animals of all species with any sort of special/medical needs. When caring for an animal it is a vital part of my schedule, I make sure to dedicate focused time every to feeding, play, and attention. I’m highly organized and reliable, so I can easily fit regular visits, walks, or medication schedules into my routine. Whether it’s a quick check in, extended playtime, or overnight care, I prioritize pets’ needs and comfort just like they’re part of my own family. I provide loving attentive care in any setting; treating every home and pet with respect, following owners’ instructions closely while keeping pets safe and happy. In my home, I make pets feel comfortable by accommodating to their needs, such as litter boxes, crates, toys, food and water, or special set ups. I adjust my space so they feel comfortable, relaxed, and at home. I have a back yard that dogs can run around in while I keep a watchful eye and throw them a ball if they please! I’m experienced with medications, special diets, and seniors or anxious pets, ensuring they’re happy and well cared for anywhere.
About: I’ve been a dog lover, dog parent and dog caretaker my whole life. It comes as second nature to be with them and bask in their companionship. I work part time, from home and sometimes out of the house, which offers me a flexible schedule to be with your beloved fur baby. I will care for your beloved animal taking them on walks, playing with them and feeding them. At this time, I only offer walking or in-your-home services as my landlord does not allow animals in my home.
“Claire took such good care of our pup and home over the holidays. She did a fantastic job, followed our instructions and left our home nice and clean. We would definitely hire her again!! Thank you, Claire!!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Wheelman
Yolanda is the Mary Poppins of cat sitting, and if you have the opportunity to work with her, it is your lucky day. When we had to leave the country for three weeks, we had no idea who we might find to take care of our senior cat who doesn’t like strangers and doesn’t eat on a schedule. Enter Yolanda. We knew right away that she had just the right calm, warm energy for our fussy cat, and though we weren’t sure how to tell any cat sitter to offer food to our picky free-feeding feline, Yolanda figured it all out. Her frequent updates from home showed our cat enjoying getting brushed, snuggling up with Yolanda on the couch, eating heartily … who is this cat who hides from strangers and wakes us up in the middle of the night for food that’s already out? Our cat loved Yolanda, and we were fully reassured that she was fine, if not better, while we were gone. Then, it got even better when we came home. We arrived to a clean house, a special bake in the fridge from Yolanda (she knew we wouldn’t want to cook dinner after 20-plus hours of travel), and a cat that was so calm that she didn’t bother to get up from her cozy spot when we walked in with our luggage. Yolanda is truly the best, and we just might plan all future trips around her schedule!
Kristen was great! You can tell right away from meeting her that she is a total dog person and the animals love her! She stayed at our place for the week with our dog and took great care of her! You could tell Kristen did everything she could to keep the doggo in her normal routine. She was communicative and sent photos and asked clarifying questions where needed. She left the house clean. Would recommend!
I am so so very pleased with the service Jai provided for us. While watching our two cats, crested and fat tail geckos, my freshwater aquariums, and my garden, Jai provided multiple daily updates with photos. They were also very responsive. They left my home spotless and my kitties were very happy. Highly highly recommend!!!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Wheelman is $74 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $23 and $112 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 6,262 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Wheelman. 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 Wheelman 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 Wheelman 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 Wheelman 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 Wheelman. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
