“Ella was the sweetest & did such a great job watching my pets! I have a little mini dog & a big cat, & I was out of town for a wedding event, so it was such a relief knowing they were in good hands. She was great about sending me updates without me even having to ask, & she sent me SO many cute pictures and videos of them 🥹 It honestly made being away so much easier! She was super sweet, reliable, & I could tell she genuinely cared about my pets. I would 100% recommend Ella & would absolutely use her again! 🐶🐱💕 Thanks Ella!”

“Evgenii was amazing! Our older two dogs were well cared for. We received pics and updates which made us happy! Our house was spotless when we returned! Couldn’t have chosen a better dog sitter. Highly recommend him and will be using him again!”


About: I am an experienced dog owner with two dogs of my own, one 8 years old and the other 1 year old, so I am comfortable caring for dogs at different ages and energy levels. I know every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I am happy to follow your instructions closely. I am patient, attentive, and love spending time with dogs through walks, playtime, and plenty of attention. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I treat every dog like family! I have a flexible schedule and am able to work pet care into our daily routine. I am responsible and attentive, and i plan my days around making sure pets get plenty of care, attention, exercise, and companionship. I am happy to work with your pet’s usual routine and keep them comfortable while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. As a dog owner myself, i understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets. I provide a calm, safe, and loving environment, follow your care instructions closely, and pay attention to each dog’s individual personality and needs. I will treat your pets like our own and keep you updated so you can feel confident they’re in good hands.
“As a new puppy parent I was very concerned about leaving our little Cavapoo over night but Heather was a wonderful dog-sitter and once I met her I was so relieved knowing our puppy would be in capable hands. She made sure he was taken out to go potty, she played with him and she even managed to give him his pill which I couldn’t get him to take.”

“Sara was great with house sitting for our cat, dog and looking after our home. Reliable. On time. Everything was taken care of for them like we had never left. We are so very happy with her attention to every detail.”

“Excellent! Thank you Lenny! As you know I was a bit reluctant to leave him with a stranger but you took great care of him! And I really appreciate that! He definitely slept well when he came home! Highly recommend Lenny and her family!!”

About: I’ve been a dog pal of every kind since I was in high school, for my family, friends, and neighbors. Whatever you and your pup may need, I am here! I work part-time from home, so I have a flexible schedule with lots of time to be present with your pups. I am free on the weekends for boarding, and I can be available any time during the week. Dogs are the embodiment of unconditional love. I do what I can to reflect that unconditional love back to them that they give so freely.

“Calli was great and did everything as instructed, she was our first experience with Rover and did great with our two dogs and cat. It was great to enjoy vacation without worrying about our pets with Calli there watching them.”

About: I grew up loving animals and it has always stuck with me. My family and friends have trusted me with their fur babies for years now and I'm happy to be able to expand on that. I have my own goldendoodle and it was the best decision I ever made! I look forward to meeting your furry family members :) I currently work from home which makes my schedule very flexible. I am avialable just about any day, any time. I'm always willing to work with my clients. I have a fenced in yard and a friendly pup to keep yours company if that's what you'd like! Or, I'm happy to spend one-on-one time. Each dog has different needs!
“Amazing wonderful fantastic are some of the many adjectives I would use to describe Katalina. She was terrific with our elder dog, Roxie! She took such good care of her we felt very comfortable knowing Katalina was there. She conscientious and kind, caring and polite and an all around terrific person. I would definitely book her again the next thing we're going out of town.”


About: I’ve owned and pet sat various breeds of dogs and cats since childhood. Very responsible and detail oriented when it comes to animal care. Proficient in administering oral medication and basic first aid. I currently work 7:30-3:30 afternoon and early evenings work best for me. I’m off monday all day as well. Happy to try and accommodate other schedules as well. I have a fully fenced in backyard with plenty of space to pets to play. Also an outdoor drinking fountain, lots of toys, and various sized pet crates.
About: What sets me apart is my patience, compassion, and genuine love for animals. I understand that every pet has different needs and personalities. From energetic puppies who need extra attention, patience, and guidance to senior animals who may need more time, gentle care, and understanding, I’m happy to meet them where they are. I treat every animal like family and give them the same love, attention, and respect I would want for my own pets. Whether they need playtime, extra cuddles, a little reassurance, or simply someone patient enough to move at their pace, I’m there for them. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I’m able to dedicate time throughout the day to walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, and giving each pet the individual attention they need. I understand that pets thrive on consistency and routine, so I make their care a priority and do my best to keep them comfortable, happy, and on their normal schedule. I’m also patient and flexible when a pet needs extra time, attention, or special care—whether it’s a playful puppy or a senior pet who prefers a slower pace. I care for every pet as if they were my own, while respecting their individual personality, routine, and comfort level. In a client’s home, I follow their instructions carefully and keep their normal schedule as consistent as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, medication if needed, and plenty of love and attention. I also treat every client’s home with the same care and respect I would give my own. My goal is for both the pet and their family to feel comfortable, secure, and well cared for.
“It was such an absolute pleasure having Shri over. He took incredible care of Gregorie and Fredrex, and we are so grateful for his generosity and tremendous help. Shri was wonderful, he took Gregorie on daily walks, gave the cat her medicine, and stayed with them to keep them company while we were away. We cannot thank you enough, Shri!”

About: As a lifelong dog parent who recently provided dedicated, high-needs care for my own senior dog, I deeply understand every stage of a pup's life—from energetic puppyhood to the gentle senior years. I am highly experienced in managing specialized routines, including administering medications and eye drops, preparing prescriptive diets, and handling accident cleanups with patience. Whether your dog needs active playtime, structured walks, or just a comforting presence to feel safe and secure, I am ready to provide the attentive love they deserve. I'm currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to attend to your pups! I'm available for house sitting and staying with your pup in their own comfy environment. Let me know what your needs are and I'll try to accommodate them! I can care for your pet in your home as you see fit! My goal is to make your pup feel happy, safe, and secure and stick to their normal routine as much as possible.

About: I’ve been raising and caring for dogs since I was 8! Having been the primary person for pups of all different kinds I understand the anxiety of leaving your pet alone for too long! I have experience with both young puppies and old timers, and I happen to be an expert pill-in-cheese wrapper for any dog in need of medical upkeep. I have been house and dog sitting for about 3 years now, just by word of mouth and recently decided to transition to Rover to expand my clientele. Let’s connect! I am currently working part-time teaching English as a Second Language! When I am not in the classroom, I’ll have plenty of time to bond and relax with your puppy! Consistent upkeep is the name of the game! Whether I’m watching your home or your dog, I make sure to maintain a consistent schedule of habits to keep your home and family member clean and comfortable.
About: I have such a big heart for animals and a connection to them with a passion for taking care of any type of animal! I grew up taking in rescues with my family at home. We have rescued a senior yorkie, four kittens, and a deaf kitty. I currently have one 4 year old maltipoo at home and one goldfish! In the past we had fish, guinea pigs, hamsters, bearded dragons, and lizards at home. Throughout the years I love participating in anything involving innocent fur babies. For two years I pet sit my sisters french bulldog with GI issues and my brothers cat. At the same time I was in a P.A.W.S (protecting animals without stability) club in high school. I currently volunteer at two animal shelters since 2022. After high school I pursued an associates degree in Biology while participating in a veterinary assistant program. I graduated the program and continued on to getting my first full time job at a veterinary hospital as an approved veterinary assistant! Therefore, I have knowledge on animal anatomy, sickness and care procedures. I plan to complete my Biology degree while working full time and helping to take care of your fur babies 💗 I am currently in school pursuing a science degree while working part time at a hospital. I pet sit, house sit and dog walk. I am available weekdays and weekends for any help you need with your fur babies. I am very flexible and work around school to continue my passion of animal care. I will make sure to socialize and spend quality time your pets. I will take them on energetic walks and make sure they are fed and comfortable!
About: I’ve been dog sitting since high school. For many friends and family, I’m their go-to for pet care when they can’t. Whether it’s going out for walks, just being let into the yard, or overnight care, I can help with it all. I am available most weekdays after 2 pm for pet care as well as all day on weekends. For overnights, I am free mostly on weekends. In your home, I will make sure your pet stays on their typical routine and in an environment they’re familiar with, with lots of love!

FAQs for House Sitting - Wickatunk
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 12,566 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Wickatunk. 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 Wickatunk 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 Wickatunk 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 Wickatunk 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.

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.
