About: I’ve had dogs my entire life of many breeds and sizes. I train my own dog on a daily basis with obedience training. He knows how to do a handful of tricks.

About: I treat every pet like they are part of my own family. I am reliable, patient, and attentive to each animal’s routine, personality, and comfort level. I also have experience caring for geriatric pets and animals that need medication, so I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and close attention to detail. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, basic reinforcement of good habits, or extra care, I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you are away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I am already used to being responsible, organized, and consistent with my time. I make sure pets receive dependable care, attention, walks, feeding, medication if needed, and companionship without feeling rushed. I understand that animals do best with routine, so I work hard to follow each owner’s instructions and keep their pet’s schedule as normal and comfortable as possible. I focus on keeping their routine as normal, safe, and comfortable as possible. I follow the owner’s instructions closely for feeding, walks, medication, potty breaks, crate use, playtime, and any special care needs.

I also pay close attention to behavior, energy level, appetite, and comfort so I can quickly notice if something seems off. My goal is to give each pet dependable care while giving the owner peace of mind.
About: I grew up with many cats and dogs. My parents never could turn down an animal so we ended up with a lot of them. Over the last few years, I’ve been caring for parent’s senior cat, Percy. He’s back with them for now- so I’m excited to be a sitter on rover and help care for some other pets! I’m currently in a 9 AM- 5 PM class with a nice relaxed pace. I have availability before and after work to help care for your pet(s). If needed, I can stop by on lunch breaks as well. I live in an apartment! Currently, I do not have a pet permit so can’t care for pets in my space but am happy to come over to house/apartment and help out!
“I was very apprehensive about having someone, who I didn't know, have access to my home and even more worried about them providing care to my fur babies during my long vacation in France. I met Terri twice in the weeks leading up to my trip. My pets immediately fell in love with her. She was very thorough in getting information on the cat and dog. She wrote everything down in her calendar. We coordinated schedules and she was obviously a very organized person. She was punctual and always sent pictures in the Rover report card. She also sent messages about how they were. I was over the moon happy with her care of my pets and look forward to using her services again.”
About: With over 20 years of pet care experience, I treat every animal like my own. As a teacher, I’m patient, attentive, and naturally nurturing—and animals tend to warm up to me quickly. You can count on reliable, loving care while you’re away! I am a teacher whose 19 year old fur baby recently passed away. I have the time and can incorporate what I am missing by loving on your pets. I will care for your pets as if they were my very own. Follow your directions and you can rest assured they will be loved.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 138 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Wicksburg. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.

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.
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.
