“Aaron was wonderful and truly loved spending time with Gracie and Roxie! Aaron sent pictures and updates daily, which was greatly appreciated! He let me know that Roxie took a little bit of time to warm up but then was herself with being a big snuggler, and that Gracie did great on her walks. Last time we had made this trip we had an 8 hour delay, and asked Aaron ahead of time if something like this happened again could he stay, and he said he could. Luckily all went well and we were able to arrive home on time to two very happy and very well cared for pups! Will definitely use Aaron again!!”
“Natalie was awesome! She was auper communicative with us while we were away. Keeping us updated on our Driggsy while we were away. Was very respectful of our home and she tooke great care of our big girl!”
“Claire was awesome with our dogs. We have two senior dogs and Claire was so attentive and sensitive to their needs. I have never trusted anyone more with our pups. We have already booked her again for our next trip. Claire will definitely give you peace of mind while you are away that your fur babies are being well cared for.”
“Very attentive. Took great care of my animals. She even made friends with my elusive cat and we all know animals have the best instincts about people. I couldn’t recommend her enough”
“Miss Star took such great care of my dog and cat while we were away for a long weekend - she will now be our go-to sitter! From the initial meet and great until we got home, she was communicative, friendly and took such great care of our pets and house that my husband asked if the cleaners had been there while we were away 😂. I would give here 10 Stars if that was an option!”
“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!”
“Dwana and Chuck were amazing! They sent tons of pictures and took excellent care of Sylvie and our home while we were away. We will definitely book with them again!”
“I can't endorse Angelina enough. I've only had my puppy for a month, but I had to leave town for a memorial service. Angie came for a meet and greet and my boy loved her. She texted me photos all weekend, and even did a little training with him. I feel so fortunate to have found her through Rover. She's your girl!”
“Leaving your pups for a vacation can be stressful. Alaina really helped ease that anxiety by sending us pictures daily and keeping us updated. Our dogs enjoyed their time with her and got lots of snuggles. Thanks again for all your help!”
“Jasmyn was so wonderful! She sent daily updates and went above and beyond to make sure my dog and myself were comfortable. I will 100% be using her as my go to dog sitter from now on!”
“Shayna had great communication. She sent pictures of my baby as requested. She was very kind and respectful of the house. I could tell that my pup was comfortable in her care. Would definitely book again.”
About: I have years of pet care experience and absolutely love working with puppies. From playtime and potty breaks to gentle training support, I make sure your little one feels safe, loved, and entertained. I’m patient, attentive, and committed to giving every pup the comfort and care they need to grow happy and healthy. I work part time everyday, so Ill have ample amount pf time to check in with your fur babies three times a day. Love pets! I live in an apartment so I would not be able to care for them in the home. But if I can come to your houses and care for them they would be the best comfortable.
“My dog has a lot of anxiety around new people but she was very comfortable very quickly with Julia who did a great job of taking care of my pup. She went out of her way to come early in order to meet the dog and get an idea of her routine and communicated really well with me. I would 100% book with Julia again.”
“Kira and her partner provided great care to our pup while we were away on vacation! She communicated frequently and sent pictures when she checked in. We would highly recommend her for your house sitting needs.”

I am highly experienced in managing the unique demands of both ends of the age spectrum, from the strict schedules required for training young puppies to the gentle pacing, medication administration, and mobility support essential for senior pet care.

About: I have been surrounded by animals all my life, and they are truly my passion. Every animal deserves to be treated properly with compassion, and I want to give my best to them when in need. I hope to give your animals care when required, and ensure they are as happy as possible. My schedule is very flexible and open right now, as I am in online college courses. I am available throughout the week and weekends if needed. My schedule is always open for any fur babies that need care! I have a cat friendly environment with plenty of room and toys, and I have proper space for dogs. If needed I do have a medium sized crate, and a fully fenced in yard.

“Sarah spoiled Sullivan in the best way! He got walks, play time & cuddles. When we returned we could tell that he was well taken care of during our travels. She provided multiple updates with photos of Sullivan & she was easy to communicate with & flexible with schedule changes. We would hire Sarah to watch Sullivan again!”
“BECKY WAS AMAZING! as an mom of an older dog you seems to worry a little more than most. Becky did a meet and greet and put me at ease. She was very communicative and provided pictures. I will definitely be using her again! Thank you Becky!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Wide Awake
Brandy is the absolute best!! We have used her many times and will continue to do so! She takes such good care of our sweet dog and is so patient and kind. Our dog is quite a lot so I’m very grateful for her! She was able to accommodate overnight visits for us when we went out of town, which was an absolute lifesaver, I would book Brandy anytime!!!
Cassie was so wonderful with our dog Piper!! I was so grateful to have her with us this past week, I don’t know what I would have done without her. She took great care of Piper, walked her, played with her, cuddled up with her and gave her all the love. So grateful to have met Cassie!
We have a pup with some medical issues and requires medications/ some extra care and we are so happy that Jennifer was able to take care of our pups. She took such great care of them and kept us updated throughout the stay. We could tell our doggos love her and had a blast. We felt at ease with her watching them and definitely recommend her for any of your pet sitting needs!
Mariah was a dream! Her attention to detail and excellent communication kept us assured that our dogs and ducks were in good hands while we were out of town. It was such a relief to find someone trustworthy and responsible to care for our animals and house and we will definitely be singing her praises and contacting her for future trips!
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!

FAQs for House Sitting - Wide Awake
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Wide Awake is $44 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $96 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 1,597 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 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.

- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 97% 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.
