“Taylor was very caring and conscientious with our pets and our home. He ran with our huskies and snuggled with our cat. He also administered meds effectively. Highly recommend!”
“Nevaeh did a wonderful job watching my little dogs! She was caring, professional and kind! She followed all of my instructions and she even took my trash bins in from the outside on trash day. My older dog wouldn’t go upstairs to the guest room with her so instead of leaving him alone downstairs she chose to sleep downstairs with him which was very sweet. Everything was left perfectly clean and Punky and Wilbur were so well taken care of and happy. Thank you so much for your excellent care, Nevaeh!!”
“Jennifer took great care of my pup and sent sweet updates which was so appreciated for my first weekend using Rover. She was also super helpful and accommodating of a change in plans. Thank you Jennifer!”
“Connie did a great job looking after our dog Tilda and our rabbit Gizmo while we were out of town. I was extremely anxious with this being the first time leaving Tilda since adopting her with a stranger, but Connie handled it very well and was very communicative with me and listening to our wishes. Thanks Connie for taking such great care of our babies!”
“Brian did a great job taking care of our kitty for 3 weeks. He stayed at our home for this period. Our kitty was clearly well taken care of. When we got home she was very calm and content. She clearly received plenty of play time and positive attention. Brian also helped us with a few unplanned events which gave us piece of mind while we were away. We will look forward to using his services again.”
“Awesome! Couldn’t be happier. She was even able to stay an extra day when our flight was canceled. She took fantastic care of our dog and our home and I would hire her again anytime. So fortunate we found her.”
About: I grew up with dogs, fish, guinea pigs, and chickens! Caring for pets was a wonderful part of my childhood and I adore spending time with animals. My schedule is wide open to help out with walks and drop ins for any pets or housesitting needs. Let me know how I can help out! I prefer to maintain routines for pets based on their regular schedules. I am happy to cater to individual needs and personalities, whether they require lots of activity or just company.
About: Hi! I’m Olivia — an energetic and caring sitter who truly enjoys keeping homes and animals safe, calm, and well cared for while their humans are away. I have experience caring for a wide range of animals, from dogs and cats to rodents and reptiles, and I’m comfortable adapting to each animal’s unique needs and routines. I also have experience tending houseplants and gardens, ensuring plants are watered, healthy, and thriving while you’re away. Whether it’s daily walks, administering medications, maintaining routines, or offering companionship, I treat every home, animal, and plant as if they were my own. I’m excited to provide you with peace of mind and a truly cared-for home while you’re away. Pet care fits really well into my life right now—I'm a seasonal farmer, so winter months give me a lot of open time and flexibility. If I'm petsitting for your loved ones and your home, I can provide them lots of affection, care, and quality time doing their favorite things, whether that's lounging in the house or hiking in the sun and the snow. Whatever their pace, I'm happy to match it and make sure they feel comfortable and loved the whole time. I get to know each pet's routine and personality before jumping in, so they feel comfortable with me quickly. Whether it's walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays, I stick to their normal schedule for feeding, potty breaks, and any meds, and I pay close attention to their energy and mood so I can adjust as needed—extra patience for the nervous ones, extra playtime for the energetic ones! I send photo updates so owners can relax, and I always leave the house just as tidy as I found it.
“Brenna was absolutely fantastic. She met with me for an hour prior to house sitting my senior kitty. She asked good questions. I loved getting her photos and updates. I had so much peace of mind while away. She also went above and beyond to wash the sheets and tidy up the home before she left. Highly recommend and would love her to watch little Precious again!”
“Isabella was great staying with our three pups! It’s hard for us to board outside of the house all together, and Isabella graciously came to stay with them over the weekend we were gone. She provided daily updates and the pups were all healthy and happy when we got home. We will definitely be reaching back out to her next time we’re out of town!”
“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've been taking care of dogs and cats since I was 10 years old, when I started my own little pet-sitting/walking "business" in my small town in Arizona. As an adult, I've owned and trained two dogs of my own, and I've never stopped being around animals since. Whether it's giving them plenty of pets & cuddles, keeping them active, or making sure they feel comfortable & secure, my biggest priority is providing a safe, loving experience for every pet in my care. I just recently moved to Colorado and I'm excited to grow my connection with you! I'm currently working as a writer (published author) and editor for other aspiring authors. I love spending a few hours in the morning and in the afternoon working on my laptop and developing my craft! I'm both a morning and evening person:) I take care of pets in their home so they can stay in the environment they’re most comfortable and familiar with. I love following detailed routines, including feeding, walks, playtime, medication if needed, and plenty of attention & cuddles. I also ensure they have a clean, safe environment and never feel alone or neglected while you are away. Every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their personality, (whether they're excited or a bit nervous) I love catering to their needs & preferences. My goal is to give them the kind of care they’re used to receiving at home!
“Once again we return home to a contented pup and a very clean home! Santi leaves everything in perfect condition! He is an excellent communicator and his photos of our Daisy are heartwarming! Highly recommend! Will certainly use Santi in the fiuture!”
About: I work from home 4/5 days a week and have full availability for house sitting, multiple daily drop ins/walks. I have experience pet sitting for both dogs and cats, and I have personal experience taking care of cats, birds, fish and bunnies. I'm also a huge plant enthusiast (I currently have ~50 houseplants)! I would be happy to water or maintain your plants while you were away as well if you'd like. I currently have a sassy little 5 year old black cat at home and she's the love of my life! I know how important it is to have confidence that your pets will be cared for when you're gone, and I can assure you I'll take care of your furry friends as if they are my own! About this sitter: I work full-time as a Behavioral Health Care Manager locally in Boulder. I work from home 4/5 days a week and would have a lot of flexibility with your pet's schedule. I also am available for house sitting for extended periods of time since I can work from wherever. When I am not working, I love spending time outdoors, practicing yoga, watching movies, hiking, reading, gardening, taking care of my plants, hanging out with Bella, and cooking. I love dogs, but have never owned one of my own due to it not being feasible in past living situations. I have dog/cat sat for many of my friends in both my home and theirs. I do not have any breed preferences, but do not feel comfortable with very large dogs. I would like to know if your pet is up to date on vaccinations, flea and tick preventative, and heartworm preventative. I would like to know if your pet has any medical issues that I would need to attend to, medications that they take, or if they have any special routines/behaviors that I should look out for. I would be able to spend time with your pet before work in the morning, throughout the day and during the evenings. I am usually home most weekends as well. Meet my pets I have one cat, a 5-year old void named Bella. She adopted me back in December from the Longmont Humane Society. It took her awhile to warm up, but she has settled in to life with me, and loves to play, "hunt" birds, nap and she fetches too! :) I work from home, so I have a lot of flexibility with my schedule. I am available to house sit for extended periods of time due to flexible work from home schedule. I would be available for multiple daily check ins if necessary (up to three/day). When caring for pets in someone else’s home, I treat their space and routines with the same respect and care I would give my own. I take time to learn each pet’s unique needs, including feeding schedules, exercise routines, medications, favorite activities, and any special instructions from their family. My aim is to create a calm, comfortable environment so pets feel safe and loved while their owners are away. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and companionship while maintaining their normal routines as much as possible. I am organized and keep a clean environment, which I would extend to your home as well. I am happy to send regular updates/photos and keep the communication open with owners during their time away so that they are confident that their pet is being well taken care of.
“Zach is wonderful! He is responsive, flexible, and understanding. He pays attention to details and cares deeply. Plus, my dogs seemed comfortable with him in their first meeting.”
“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
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!
Yolanda is a gem. It’s always hard for us to find someone we feel we can trust will look after our animals with the same level of attention and love that we provide. Yolanda clearly loves animals. Beyond that, she clearly has a special gift with them. Our 2 lgd dogs and needy cat fell in love with her! It was clear she gave them a lot of time and attention. She was also very communicative with us, and made sure to follow our instructions. Everything was in perfect order upon our return from our extended stay abroad. We are so glad we found Yolanda and look forward to having her pet sit for us again - we know the animals would love that as well!
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!!!!

FAQs for House Sitting - Wheelman
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Wheelman on Rover is $77.15 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 6,355 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Wheelman. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% 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.
