“Sierra was great with our dogs, and they were very calm and content when we arrived back from our trip. She also helped out with a couple household things, that was greatly appreciated! She sent an update everyday as well.”
About: I am a college student who has been housesitting since I was 15 years old I have always been around animals and am great with them I have classes on Mondays and Wednesdays from 10 AM to three but an hour gap in between all of my classes so there is plenty of time to come and check on your animals and make sure that they have plenty of attention and on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, I have a very light schedule that is very flexible and easy to make sure that your dogs and cats will have plenty of attention. When caring for my own dog and friends, dogs and cats, I try to never leave them home alone for more than four hours at a time and give daily walks to my dog so that he gets proper exercise and doesn’t feel cooped up and when housesitting I try to never leave the animals home alone for longer than four hours and always follow consistent feeding times for the pets
About: I have been around animals my whole life, they bring me joy and I love to surround myself with them. I hold high regard and respect for furry and feathered creatures. I jump at the opportunity to care for friends' pets, and I'd like to open my home to your loved ones too and develop a relationship. I don't have any furry house friends of my own currently, but I do have a working 16 acre farm with a variety of small livestock, cats and birds. I love each and every one of them. I am well versed in basic medical care of animals. My latest diabetic cat lived with insulin shots twice a day for 3+ years. Pets that I sit can either roam around the farm with me as I work, or stay in my cozy house and receive regular visits throughout the day. Dogs tend to be thoroughly entertained with a big smile on their face. If allowed, your dogs will enjoy various pasture-raised, organic treats from the farm. I see a lot of benefits to dogs that get safe, controlled exposure to farm life and being around other species. I also enjoy taking dogs on hikes with me. I have trails close by where we can get additional exercise and exploration. Animals in my care get loads of attention, love and entertainment. I also have resident farm hands that love animals, offering extra social interaction and playtime. I work full time on my 16 acre regenerative farm. Pets in my care get loads of love and attention. More active dogs can roam around the farm with me, always close by with a ball or toy. Less active, retired, older pups can hang out in my home and receive regular visits throughout the day. They will never go long without love and interaction. My home is big and spacious with lots of lounging areas. The farm has some fenced areas, and generally dogs do fine hanging out close by, or as needed can stay on a leash or a cabled run nearby. I alao have a 10 x 16 fenced kennel run available. Pets are never left outside unattended, but get loads of outside time if desired. I also have daily farm hands that all love animals and love to play with them. Pups love farm life! Did I mention they will get pasture-raised organic lamb and turkey treats if their parents allow it?
About: As a dog owner myself, including caring for a reactive dog, I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and creating a safe, comfortable environment. I have experience with dogs of all ages, energy levels, and temperaments, and I tailor my care to each pet’s individual needs. Whether it’s reinforcing routines, providing extra attention to senior dogs, or keeping up with an energetic puppy, I treat every pet like my own while keeping owners updated and giving them peace of mind while they’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine as I work part-time, which gives me the flexibility to provide attentive, reliable care throughout the day. I enjoy staying active with dogs through walks, playtime, and enrichment activities, and I can easily adapt my schedule to meet each pet’s needs while keeping owners updated and informed. I care for pets by maintaining their normal routine in the comfort of their own home. I follow feeding schedules, provide walks, playtime, exercise, and plenty of attention while ensuring they feel safe and comfortable. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages, treat every home with respect, and make sure pets receive the same level of care and love they would from their family.
“Austin watched our 3 dogs for 10 days and was great to give us daily reports and pictures. He walked them daily and stayed at our house where he gave them lots of love and attention. We have one escape artist but he was very careful and followed our instructions to keep Cosmo safe. We will certainly hire Austin again!”
“We had a wonderful experience with our dog sitter! She stayed in our home the entire time with our dogs and took excellent care of them. She was incredibly respectful of our space, kept the house very clean, and followed everything we asked. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our dogs were well cared for while we were away. We would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and responsible sitter.”
About: Built trust with pets through patience, consistency, and positive interaction. Maintained safe, clean, and comfortable environments for animals at all times. Monitored pets for changes in behavior, appetite, or health and reported concerns promptly. On weekends, pet care is a regular and prioritized part of my routine. I plan my schedule to allow enough time for feeding, walking, cleaning, and quality interaction with the pets. I make sure they are fed on time, taken out for exercise, and given attention and play to keep them mentally stimulated. I also monitor their behavior and health, ensuring they are comfortable and safe throughout the day. My weekends are flexible, which allows me to be fully attentive to pets’ needs without rushing. I care for pets by following their established routines, ensuring proper feeding, exercise, cleanliness, and attention. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I prioritize safety, comfort, and clear communication with owners.
About: I raised my puppy Maple for 7 years until she died of cancer last year. I would love to hangout with your animals. I am young, love dogs, and willing to go on walks galore. I have a regular 9-4ish. So I would love to work on weekends and do overnights if that is what is needed from you. I am mobile and willing to keep the dog in a familiar environment. I do not invite animals to my house because I have limited space. If you are interested in drop ins and overnight care at your house I am very flexible for those throughout the week and weekends
About: I’ve owned dogs since I was little, and I’ve been taking care of dogs while the neighbors were away since I was 12. I love dogs and own 5 myself, I can administer medications and just play with your dog. I can’t wait to meet your furry friend! I currently have a small puppy so I already have a good routine of letting her out to play, go potty and such. I only work my day job about 7 hours a day in the early morning so I’ll be able to go in the early afternoon and let your pet out and play with them every day. The pets in my home have a spacious environment to be around the family while we are home. We always watch out for our dogs when they are out of the crate and the same for any of your pets that come over to hang out.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 175 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Wheelon. 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 Wheelon 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 Wheelon 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 Wheelon 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.
