“Chelsea was amazing with our dogs who can be a bit particular. We have 3 senior dogs, 2 of which take medication. She communicated every day and sent picture updates. She was outstanding for our fur babies and allowed us to have a worry free Christmas out of town. Thank you Chelsea!!!”
“Rowan is punctual, experienced and caring. I have 2 dogs and she cared for them for several days. She was attentative to my detailed requests and the house was clean, when I returned. My one pup, is not a fan of thunder, and Rowan used musical therapy to help soothe her anxiety. I would definitely hire her again.”
“We had to go out of town for our daughter's wedding and did not have to worry at all about our fur babies. They were all well loved and taken care of. She even did some house cleaning that I did not request or expect! I could not be happier with our experience with her.”
“Abriana agreed to watch our dogs super last minute when another sitter cancelled on us. The day I reached out, she came to meet them, and stayed in our house the following day. She saved our trip! My dogs loved her and the house looked better than we left it. Would highly recommend her! Will definitely be reaching out again when we need someone to watch our dogs.”
“Susan took great care of Sullivan while out of town for one night. She successfully administered his medication, gave him lots of cuddles & outside time & provided pictures as well as updates. She was also very willing to help out with a last-minute request. We definitely plan to use Susan again in the future!”
“Mackenzie took great care of our dogs and house while we were gone for over a week. She had excellent communication and sent us regular updates. Our dogs were happy and well cared for and we will absolutely be using Mackenzie again!”
“Jen was very detailed, accommodating, and sent loads of pictures and updates. She did great with the dogs, they seemed happy and got plenty of exercise. Would definitely recommend her and will use her again in the future.”
“This is our 2nd time booking with ZaNayah and once again She's been such a pleasure to have around and the love and care she gives to our kiddos is amazing. Such great energy, we totally recommend ZaNayah you will not be disappointed. Will definitely book with her again!!!”
“Cheyenne was absolutely amazing - she stayed in our house for 5 days and watched our two dogs. Best dog sitter we’ve used (and we’ve had a good few)!! She sent updates and kept them on their routines! Left our house clean as can be. Dogs were happy as can be when we got home so we knew they had a great time too!”
“Sara, you are an absolute gem!!! Thank you and your beautiful daughter for taking such good care of our babies and home! The regular communication and pictures was wonderful and put us at ease while we traveled to Montana. 5 stars simply enough!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Anais was so great! She kept us posted and sent a lot of updates, so we were able to enjoy our trip! The house was in the same order when we were back. We definitely highly recommend Anais, and surely will book again! She left us a handwritten card, what a beautiful touch! We appreciate her help very much!”
“Tori was very responsive during the booking process as well as right before, during and after she left my home. Raven has allergies and she ensured she ate and took her medications. She was courteous of my home, even cleaning up a mess Raven left for her… and consistently provided me with pictures and updates to show me how happy Raven was while I was away. I know Raven is looking forward to having her stay again!”
“Oh my goodness, our family has been blessed to have found Julie! She took such excellent care of our 2 pups: Walking them early before it got too hot, keeping on our schedule and being home for the majority of the day. My youngest pup is timid with new people and is deaf. But somehow Julie won her over as seen in pictures of them cozy together: ) Julie communicated with updates, pictures and questions. In addition to all of this, Julie watered my plants and left my home in the same condition that I left it. That made returning home after 8 days away so much easier. Thank you for everything Julie!”
“Ava is simply the best! She truly understands small dogs and managed to bond with my barky, territorial Chiweenie—no small feat! From the start, she was attentive, sweet as pie, and sent me daily updates that made all the difference. Thanks to Ava, I was finally able to go on vacation with complete peace of mind, knowing my fur babes were in loving, capable hands. 100/10 recommend her to anyone needing a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter! 🐾💖”
“Amazing! Highly recommend. My cat can be very shy and we just moved, but he warmed right up to them! When I got home he was sweet as ever and relaxed. They listened so well in the meet and greet I didn’t have to make a cheat sheet. They were detailed, caring, and incredibly communicative! I got pictures of my sweet boy several times a day, he’s probably going to miss them! They took excellent care of my house too!”
About: I’ve experienced living with large-breed and high-energy dogs for a few years. I’m very patient with anxious, shy or reactive pets. I am detail-oriented with daily updates, photos and communication. Overall, I would like to gain more experience with my love for animals through Rover😊 I’m currently working a swing-shift schedule from 1pm-10pm. So i’m usually only available on Fridays and Saturdays. My schedule does tend to change often so I will make sure to communicate ahead of time! I care for your fur babies in my client’s home by following their established routines, providing meals on-time, long walks, exercises, affection and any special care needed to keep them healthy, happy and stress-free while you’re away!
“Julie was excellent! Our girl Moxie suffers from separation anxiety and Julie knew how to support her while we were gone. In addition, our house was so clean you wouldn’t have known anyone else had been there. Thank you, Julie!”
About: I have taken care of my dogs- trained them as puppies. Have also taken care of my brothers animals for extended periods of time. Absolutely love dogs! I am currently taking some time to focus on summer semester and have many openings in my schedule. Dogs and school are my main two priorities! I love to walk and will only stick to safe routes when walking! I will always prioritize the safety of your animal and never do anything to put us at risk!
“Yet again, Lauren took great care of my pup: I had to be gone an extended time : almost of a full month, and Lauren did everything I asked, took care of my house and gave River all the love and attention. So grateful💚”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Wide Awake
Lovely lovely lovely! Kate made sure my puppy Rhubarb was well taken care of while I was out of town. I received photos and videos and updates while I was away, and she went above and beyond to make sure everything was running smoothly in my absence. I came home to a tidy house and even a home-made dog cookie in the fridge for little Rhu! Will be reaching out to Kate again if I need a sitter- no question! ✨🙌
We’ve enjoyed having Mariah stay with our dog and cat when we’ve been out of town! She’s been excellent at communicating and accommodating to our family. It’s nice having someone we can trust in our home and with our fur babies when we are away. Thank you again!
Marisa was great with my boys! I felt totally at ease with her watching them in my home. She was great at communication and sending pictures. I was looking for someone to spend most of thier time in the home with my babies and she was able to do just that. Even went so far as to let me know when she was leaving and when to expect her back. Marisa made being out of town for the holidays stress-free. I would recommend her services to anyone and plan to book with her again!
Nicole was so lovely and took such good care of our babies while we were away! She was very respectful of our space and was so easy to check in with. Our dogs were even slow to warm up to her, but she was so patient with them and they were obsessed by the end of the weekend! We can’t wait for another opportunity to have Nicole stay with our girls 🥰

FAQs for House Sitting - Wide Awake
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Wide Awake on Rover is $53.5 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 1,666 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Wide Awake. 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 Wide Awake 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 Wide Awake 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 Wide Awake 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Wide Awake. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% can help with daily exercise
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.
