“We are so lucky to have Sara take care of our pets and house. She is extremely responsible, has great communication and handles problems as they arise. She has taken care of our home for multiple long trips and it always ensures peace of mind!”
“Kinsey was so great caring for my two golden retrievers! She was extremely communicative, which was so helpful! She spent a lot of time playing with them and meeting their needs! Would highly recommend booking with her. We also did a last minute booking and and she was extremely accommodating”
“Carol did an excellent job with our critters and house sitting. She sent pictures and updates. She was prompt to reply. We really appreciated the flexibility of Carol to work with our schedules. Our senior pup has eye problems. Carol came by twice before the booking to meet everyone and make sure all was good with the senior gal and her eye drop routine. I would recommend Carol to others and will use her in the future.”
“Brittany was wonderful! Very accommodating to our schedule. Lucie did great and didn't seem to mind having a sitter two days in a row! :) She sent us pictures which was very nice and just added to the confidence we had that she was in great hands and being well cared for! If back in CSTAT, would definitely book with Brittany again and would highly recommend her to watch anyone's fur baby!”
“Amelia took such great care of our dogs. She sent photos while we were away and was so good with all 3 dogs. She stayed in touch and asked questions when she needed to. She braved the downpour of rain to make sure the dogs went outside. Amelia was awesome and so respectful with our home, and I could tell she took care of our dogs and they enjoyed her company. We highly recommend Amelia to take care of your babies 🥰!”
“Rylee was just great! She was very responsible, loved on and played with our Golden Retriever Archie, kept things very straight and neat, and sent us daily updates with pictures. Archie absolutely loved her! We were very comfortable leaving our dog with Rylee and will use her again!”
About: I have owned multiple breeds of dogs my entire life! I have a lot of experience working with my blue heeler/collie mix, and we have even taken an obedience course! I used to do competitive dog shows in 4H with my heeler as well. I have house sat multiple times. I have taken care of dogs such as labs, rotties, and I even have done farm chores for people while they are away. I currently care for two cats of my own and understand feeding schedules, litter maintenance, medication administration, and the importance of respecting each cat’s personality and boundaries. I grew up in 4H and have cared for a wide variety of animals, including dogs, cats, show hogs, cattle, horses, chickens, ducks, and other farm animals. I understand that every animal has different needs and personalities, and I strive to make them feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I currently work here in town as a legal assistant. My current schedule allows for flexibility during evenings and weekends. In addition, I have reliable transportation. I am very eager to accommodate all kinds of pet owners! I have given both cats and dogs medications, and have cared for both young and old animals. I can clean up after dogs and scoop litter boxes, and other tasks that involve keeping a client’s home clean and safe! I really value reading an animal’s body language and making sure to treat them with the upmost respect.
“Ashley was amazing, she watched my cat Phoebe at home for me and kept her happy and active. She also left a postcard and new toy before leaving which was super sweet. Would definitely book again.”
“Alana was so great with my dogs! She spent so much time with them and sent regular updates. I did not have to worry about the dogs with her around. So glad I got to book with her last minute. Highly recommend her to anyone!”
About: I love animals and would love to care for yours while you go have fun and relax and take care of you! Call me anytime! If you happen to be 10-15 minutes from Academy, I would be able to do a potty break during the days, if not, any other time will work! I can stay overnight if needed! Let me know what works best for you! I love on animals and let them know I they are loved. I love sitting outside so can give them walks or just time laying in the sun!
About: I grew up on a farm. Have had numerous dogs, cats and other species. I have worked at a pet resort and am currently a vet tech working at a local hospital. I am currently doing school and working part- time, but I know how to manage my time in between. For example, I love taking dogs on walks and doing interactive activities with them! I currently do have a senior dog that can keep your fur baby company. I have a fenced in yard, but I do also do walks. My dog goes on 2-3 walks a day + gets time outside in my back yard whenever she wants. She’s on a strict feeding schedule and has dietary restrictions which I also accommodate.
About: I’ve been caring for pets for most of my life, helping friends, family, and neighbors with walking, feeding, bathing, and providing companionship. I’m very attentive, patient, and gentle, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while giving owners peace of mind. I work full time on campus, which gives me a consistent schedule along with flexibility during lunch breaks and in the evenings. This allows me to provide reliable care, check-ins, walks, and quality time with pets. I’m also available on weekends and communicate clearly to coordinate schedules that work best for you and your pet. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. I’m attentive, calm, and reliable, and I make sure pets are well cared for during visits, walks, and evenings. I respect your home, follow instructions closely, and communicate regularly so you feel confident your pet is in safe hands.
About: I’m currently a student at Texas A&M, and even with my classes, I keep a very open and flexible schedule for pet care. I’ve grown up with animals my entire life, and I’ve been pet sitting for other families since I was a freshman in high school. Whether it’s walking, feeding, playtime, or just keeping your pet comfortable, I’m reliable, patient, and genuinely love caring for all kinds of animals. Pet care fits perfectly into my schedule because I only have one class each day and work part-time at the Lincoln Recreation Center. I’m also a member of Zeta Tau Alpha, but outside of those commitments my schedule is wide open. That flexibility makes it easy for me to be available for walks, drop-ins, or longer pet-sitting stays whenever needed. I always prioritize each pet’s safety and comfort, whether they’re staying in my home or I’m caring for them in yours. I follow all routines you provide, keep a clean and pet-friendly environment, and ensure they’re never left unsupervised in unsafe situations. I take time to earn their trust so they feel relaxed, secure, and happy throughout their stay.
“Paul was amazing with our dogs, Zoe and Lola! Zoe is still a puppy, and he paid close attention to her throughout his stay, giving us complete peace of mind. He kept us updated, took wonderful care of both girls and our home, and made the entire experience stress-free. We would absolutely book Paul again and highly recommend him!”

Kelsey was a great sitter for my dogs! She fed them as scheduled, played with the dogs as I’m sure they demanded, and even let the dogs sleep with her. Kelsey sent photos to me of the dogs playing. She communicated with me at least once each day. She also verified that I had gotten home when expected. I have complete trust and confidence in Kelsey. I don’t travel often, but if I need a sitter again, I hope Kelsey will be available.
Elaine stepped in last minute to sit our two dogs and was great! She carved out time for a meet and greet ahead of time, asked thorough questions while getting to know them, and took great care of our older special needs dog as well! Not to mention they both felt right at home with her. I would highly recommend Elaine for any and all pet sitting needs.

FAQs for House Sitting - Wicker
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Wicker on Rover is $40.66 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 296 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Wicker. 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 Wicker 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 Wicker 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 Wicker 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.

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.
