“Sophia did a wonderful job looking after our home and two dogs. They were calm and looked after when we got home, the house was clean and she was even kind enough to take water the garden for us. She communicated very well before during and after, was punctual and honest.”
“Brittany does an amazing job taking care of our older german shepherd. She has pet sat for us many times now, and we have been more than happy every time. We truly feel our girl could not be in better hands, and that is coming from someone who does not like to leave our pup. We feel very at ease when she is left in Brittany's care, its easy to see her love for animals. Brittany is extremely reliable, she is very communicative/quick to respond, and has always been very flexible with our needs. Thank you Brittany for all the care and attention you give our girl. We are lucky to have found you, and appreciate everything you do for us.”
“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.”
“Paul did an amazing job taking care of our dogs over the weekend! He was super personable, attentive and great with the girls. We felt completely comfortable knowing they were in good hands. We would absolutely hire him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a great pet sitter!”
“Andrea was an absolute delight with our fur babies! She has a caring and positive vibe to herself. She was attentive to my Zeus & Allie! Treated them as her very own which made our trip a lot better not having to worry about our fur babies back home. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a Sitter, Andrea was amazing and always sent me updated photos of what my fur babies were doing. I would request her services again in the near future. Thank you so much Andrea!”
“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.”
About: I began seeking clients on Rover in the summer of 2025 as a way to make some more money for college and I love animals so I figured “why not!” - I found myself really bonding with every dog/cat I watched and cared for them as my own. I accept as many jobs as I possibly can because I understand the importance of having someone stay with your fur babies who knows how to care for them in all aspects. My 7 month old puppy died due to negligence from his pet sitter and got hit by a car. Due to that experience, I have shifted my focus to mainly Rover, hoping I can provide families with the comfort and assurance that I will care for their animals with the respect and love they all deserve. I have experience with all kinds of animals (even bunnies, horses, fish, and more!) I was a working student from the ages of 10-15 years old and have my own horse so big dogs don’t scare me. I know how to deal with skittish or aggressive dogs because I had to learn to groom my own goldendoodle as he got older and became unpredictable due to dementia. It is important for me to make sure the animals I look after feel heard, are never left alone for too long, and have fun during my time with them! Please feel free to reach out with any other questions!! I only have one other job exercising steeple chase horses in the early mornings so I have a lot of availability to make house visits or spend the day as much as you would need me to! I also love to go on walks and take hikes, so if I am looking after an Active dog it is no problem! If your dog likes to play with other dogs I have a fenced in yard and two other dogs of mine who are very friendly. I am very neat and organized so the chance of your animal eating something or getting into something they’re not supposed to is very slim.
“Amelia is the best!! She takes such good care of our 3 dogs. I highly recommend Amelia if you need a loving, trusting and caring sitter for your fur babies. She sends photos, is always responsive if we need to talk and she asks questions when needed. Thank you for taking care of our home and animals, Amelia! :-)”
“Anastasia is so sweet and was the perfect caregiver for our lab mix, Daisy. She was very easy to communicate with, and sent pictures daily, putting us at ease while we were on vacation. I will definitely request Anastasia again when needed, and recommend her to others.”
“Noelle did such a great job taking care of our dogs for a few days while we were out of town! She was easy to communicate with, took our dogs on walks, sent update photos, and left the house nice and clean when we returned. She even offered to get more dog food in the event we ran out! We will definitely use her services again!”
“Jessica was so amazing! sent both photos and videos of Milo and made sure he had a great time when we were away! highly recommend Jessica if you are looking for some one to watch over your pet!”
“Mackenzie was very good with all my girls. She handed me updates and pictures of them. She was very responsive when I would message her. She also kept my house nice and tidy, just as I left it. Would definitely recommend her to watch your babies.”
“She did a great job taking care of both of my dogs. One is a senior with separation anxiety and just wants to sit on your lap all day and the other is young but fearful of new people. She gave good updates and sent pics when I asked. Both my dogs really liked her.”

“Lindsey is amazing! She went above and beyond to make sure all was taken care of while we were away. She took great care of our dachshund and chickens, and we returned to a clean house! I will definitely use her again, and will recommend her to anyone I know looking for a pet sitter.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Wicker
Carol did a great job watching our dogs. We were gone for a whole week and I knew they were well taken care of. Even with her work schedule, she was attentive to our dogs’ needs, easy to communicate with, and sent photo updates. And she left our house clean when we arrived home!
Julia was fabulous with taking care of coco, she followed all the instructions and fulfilled all of cocos needs. Despite being the first time taking care of him in my apartment, she understood all instructions on how to get in and out of the building very easily and was very helpful when I had to be out for half the day
Kayelee has stayed in my home and cared for my dog several times over the past year and a half, starting when my dog was just four months old. She is reliable and trustworthy, and my dog is always excited to see her! She takes wonderful care of my dog, sends regular updates and photos, and always leaves my home clean and tidy. I highly recommend her!
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.

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 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.
