“Shanti is absolutely wonderful! If I could leave her 10 stars, I would. She is very pleasant, responsible, and she took fantastic care of our two high maintenance cats and the house. I am so happy I found her!”
“Jessica was great! She was very attentive and keeping me updated with pics and reports on how she and my dog were doing. I would highly recommend her to others and if I’m ever in need of a sitter again I’ll hope she will be available. :)”
About: I see and treat any pet as family. I really enjoy meeting new pets. And every pet deserves an endless amount of love and appreciation. I have a pretty open availability and I do my best to be as flexible as I can be so I look forward to watch your furry friend. I do my absolute best to go off the recommend requirements asked of me when being booked for any pet. My pets stay indoors with me and sleep in my bed if they want or they just sleep in the room too.
“This is the 2nd time we booked Ajia and she was just as great as the first time. Kept me in touch each day with how the pups were doing and sent lots of pictures. We will definitely continue to have Ajia dogsit for us again in our home.”
About: I grew up with a lot of pets and currently I have 2 dogs and a cat along with some other animals. I Have a lot of experience petsitting. I started petsitting around the age of 13 and since then have been doing it pretty consistanly for everyone in my neighborhood. I have taken care of animals that have required medical care and so I am experienced with handling medication doses and any other needs your pet might have. I am a college student so I am pretty flexible with when I can come watch your pets. I only have about 1 class a day so your pet would not be left for more than an hour an a half without me checking in on them. I am able to stay as long as needed with your pet and I am able to stay nights so that I'm there with them.
“Sarah was a wonderful sitter. She showed so much care for our dog. She was communicative and I felt so comfortable knowing she was there. When we returned from a week long trip our dog seemed so content and our house looked great! I would definitely hire Sarah again!”
About: Animals have always held a special place in my heart as I have had several dogs since I was born that were all well loved. I offer loving, reliable care with plenty of play, cuddles, and attention to your pet’s needs. Whether it’s a walk, a weekend stay, or just some company while you're away, I treat every animal like my own. With experience, patience, and a calming presence, your pets will be in safe, happy hands if you decide to choose me to be your sitter. I currently have a lot of availability as I am not in school, but without a job. Thursdays I dont have any method of transportation other than walking or biking so I will only accept walking distance jobs on those days. I'm available any time between 10am and 7pm for non-overnight jobs. When caring for someones fur baby, I make sure to follow the owner's instructions carefully, keeping the pet’s routine consistent. I provide fresh food and water, ensure plenty of playtime, walks, or cuddles depending on their needs, and keep their environment clean and safe. I also send regular updates and photos to reassure the owner. Most importantly, I treat their pet as if they were my own, giving them love, patience, and attention throughout my stay.
About: I volunteered at Haven Humane Society in Redding for three years, where I gained a lot of experience caring for both cats and dogs. While I was there, I helped clean and sanitize their areas, walked dogs, and spent time socializing with the cats. In my personal life, I have a kitty who is my pride and joy! He does well with other animals and has definitely made my love for animals even stronger. I also had a dog who recently passed away. I had her since she was a puppy and helped train and care for her throughout her life, so I’m very familiar with the puppy world and all the patience and attention that comes with it! I’ve always loved animals and know how important it is to have someone you trust taking care of your pets. I would treat every pet I care for like they were my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m currently a student at Butte College, so my schedule gives me plenty of time to care for and spend time with your furry friends! I usually have classes in the mornings, so most afternoons and evenings are free. This gives me lots of time for walks, playtime, feeding, check-ins, and making sure your pets get plenty of attention throughout the day. My schedule is pretty flexible, and I’m happy to work with you and your pet’s normal routine! I know how important it is to trust the person taking care of your pets, so I’ll always do my best to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re with me. For boarding, I’ll make sure your pet has a comfortable and safe space in my home, along with plenty of attention, playtime, and potty breaks. I do have a cat of my own who does well with other animals, so I will always make sure everyone is introduced safely and is comfortable around each other. For dog walking, I’ll make sure your dog is secure on their leash and follow any instructions you have for their walks. When caring for pets in your home, I’ll respect your space, follow your pet’s normal routine, and make sure everything is clean and secure before I leave. I’m also more than happy to send pictures and updates while your pet is with me because I know how nice it is to know your furry friend is safe and being taken care of!
About: I love animals of all kinds, and treat them like they are a family member (because they are). Our fur babies cannot speak for themselves, so it is up to us to provide them with the best care possible, so they can live happy, healthy and full lives. I have a lot experience house and pet sitting, and I take pride in my work. I am caring and compassionate, I am clean and organized, I also come with a former vet tech sister, lol. I have a dog (Eero, 12, GSD) and a cat (Trout, 19) who light up my world. I am excited to meet you and your pets! I am a full-time graduate student at Chico State. I am on campus 4 days a week, but only for a few hours at a time. I am lucky to have the schedule I do so I get to spend a great deal of time with my babies! I am organized and follow directions well. I will make sure your home and pets are well cared for and treated as I do my own babies! Your wish is my command when it comes to the care of your home and pets!
About: If I am watching your pet for more than a day, I will absolutely crochet them a fun hat or accessory! I’ve always been comfortable around animals and genuinely love spending time with them. I’m patient, attentive, and good at picking up on an animal’s individual personality, routine, and comfort level. I’m reliable with schedules and details, so feeding times, medications, walks, check-ins, and special instructions are taken seriously. I’m also happy to send regular photos and updates so you know how your pet is doing while you’re away. I’m comfortable with pets who are energetic, shy, anxious, goofy, or just very particular about how they like things done. My goal is to keep their routine as normal and low-stress as possible and make sure they feel safe, cared for. I’m comfortable administering medications and have experience with both oral and injectable medications. I’m attentive to dosing instructions, timing, and making the process as calm and low-stress as possible. I’m also genuinely excited about dog walking. I’m working on being more active myself, so your dog gets a reliable walking buddy and I get an enthusiastic accountability partner. I’m happy to adjust the pace and length to your dog’s age, energy level, and usual routine—whether that means a relaxed sniff-heavy stroll or a longer, more active walk. I work a consistent full-time schedule, with quite a bit of flexibility throughout the day. It makes it easy for me to plan pet care reliably throughout and around my work hours. My work hours are 6:00am-2:30 pm Tuesday - Saturday. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and other care, and I’m happy to coordinate a routine that works well for both you and your pet. I value consistency and punctuality, especially when pets are used to a specific feeding, walking, or medication schedule I live in a pet-friendly apartment near lots of walking trails. I currently don’t have any pets in the home(unless you count a shrimp 🦐) I take pet care instructions seriously and always try to keep your pet’s routine as familiar and low stress as possible. I pay close attention to feeding instructions, medications, behavior, doors and gates, leash safety, and anything else you want handled a particular way. I’m respectful of your home and your pet’s boundaries, and I won’t force interaction with a nervous or shy animal. I’m also happy to send photos and updates during visits so you know how things are going.
“J (as she likes to be called) is the best! She was quickly responsive every time I wanted a text update on my two dogs and cat. She and her son apparently played with the dogs, too. When it rained and the dogs came into the house with muddy feet, she asked where the mop was to clean up after them. She brought the mail in and put it all in the designated box and when the box was full, she got another box. I would certainly recommend her and when we go away again I will rehire her.”

“Amazing with dogs and you cannot tell Tyler stayed in your home. Retuned to a tired, happy dog and clean house. Spot on communication if needed and very nurturing to Jasper. See you next visit”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for years. I’ve been trusted to house sit/pet sit multiple times with no issues. Everyone is always happy. I’m an animal lover and if I could save all the strays I would. I work full time from 6am-4:30pm. I have a four 10’s schedule and someone is always at my home with my son. Between myself and my boyfriend we’ve been able to assure our pets are well cared during work hours. I play with my pets and have done crate training in the past. If there is a yard I take them outside and play fetch, frisbee or water play. I keep distance from other dogs when walking dogs and always keep them on a leash to provide a safe environment for the dog and others around in case a change happens.
About: I have several years of experience caring for a variety of pets, including dogs, cats, and even fish. I truly adore all of them, and I treat each one with the same love and attention I would give my own. From energetic puppies to older cats with specific needs, I understand that every animal is unique and deserves patient, attentive care. I’ve handled feeding routines, medication schedules, daily walks, playtime, and quiet companionship, always making sure pets feel safe and comfortable in their home environment. I’ve also maintained fish tanks and feeding are kept on schedule. I’m committed to giving pets the same level of care and love they get from their owners. I’m available for pet care Monday through Friday, with the exception of 7:30 a.m to 8:30 a.m during weekdays while I take my kids to school and 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. on Mondays and Wednesdays, as I have class. I also have two kids, so while I’m open to evening visits after 5 p.m. and on weekends, they would need to come with me. As long as that’s okay with you and your pet, I’m happy to help during those times too! I’m flexible and always aim to make things work for both you and your animals. I provide all pet care in your home, where your pets feel most comfortable and secure. I’ll follow your routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, litter box or crate cleaning, and any special instructions like medications or favorite activities. Keeping your fur baby in their familiar environment helps reduce stress while you’re away. I treat every home with respect and make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for until you return.

FAQs for House Sitting - Wicks Corner
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 304 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Wicks Corner. 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 Wicks Corner 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 Wicks Corner 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 Wicks Corner 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.
