“Paul is an "animal whisperer." He was amazing with our German Shepherd, Lab, and Tabby. We have never left any of our animals in a kennel or with a "stranger" and after significant research, decided to give Rover and Paul a try. Paul immediately connected with our pets during the meet and greet, and took amazing care of them when we went out of town. We highly recommend Paul; especially, to nervous pet parents who appreciate regular updates! We will definitely be requesting Paul's help again.”
“I have used Kelly for House Sitting with my dogs a couple of times. Each time, I was pleased to know that the pups were being cared for, loved on and in the comfort of their own home. I previously had 2 Dobermans that Kelly cared for, and she has now met my new Doberman Senja, who I recently adopted as my other 2 had since passed. Dobermans can be very sensitive and have stomach problems when stressed out. But under Kelly's care, I have never come home to a pup with stomach issues like I do if I use a boarding facility. Kelly is always reliable and communicates on a daily basis with pictures of the pups. It truly allows us to enjoy our vacations and not stress about what is going on at home with our dogs since we are confident that they are in Kelly's care. It was important to me that a sitter not be intimidated by the breed. My previous Dobermans were leery of strangers until they warmed up, and she handled them without hesitation. My newly adopted Senja took to Kelly right away.”

About: I’ve mostly taken care of small creatures on my lifetime. I used to own parakeets and currently I own a leopard gecko whom I absolutely adore! I always wanted to own cats and/or dogs growing up but I’ve never been allowed to do that because my mom is irrationally afraid of both. I used to own a kitten but we had to give it away because my mom thought she could handle it but she was just too scared of it. I’ve taken care of other people’s cats and dogs before and I get along well with all animals! Since I’m unemployed, I am free anytime other than Saturday and Sunday mornings. Saturday I have classes from 10 am to 12 pm and Sundays I have church from 9 am to 11 am. I unfortunately do not CURRENTLY have anything that is specifically catered to dogs or cats in my house or yard, as I do not own either at the moment. I can certainly do my absolute best to cater to your animal’s needs, however!
“Alexis did a wonderful job house sitting for us! All animals (bird, fish, and dog) were all taken care of as well as our home. I highly recommend her! Thank you, Alexis!”
“We could not be any happier with our new furbaby sitter, Holly. When our last outstanding sitter retired after several years of taking care of our kiddos, we were concerned about finding someone who would come even close to providing the same level of attention and love. Making the task of finding a replacement even more challenging, we wanted to change from a drop-in sitter to an overnight sitter. From the first time we talked to Holly on the phone, we could tell she was a very special person with an abundance of love and care for those she watches. We then met her in-person when we she came to our house to see how she would interact with the dogs, and how they would react to her. Holly was very friendly with us and took the time get background information on each of our dogs. And after a some initial barking and lots of sniffing, our dogs seem to quickly sense she is a good person and was not someone to worry about. After passing the initial intro with flying colors, we then decided to do a “test stay” over a weekend before heading out on an extended vacation. Holly was absolutely fantastic during the 2-day stay. She kept us closely informed throughout the stay and sent multiple pictures and videos of our pups eating, playing and relaxing with her. She even brought in our mail, watered our plants inside and out, and kept the house spotless. Holly even made a poster “from our dogs” welcoming us home from out short getaway. We were exceptionally happy with the way she took care of our pups and how she handled things around the house. We will absolutely be using her services in the future as she is an exceptional sitter in every way.”
About: Hello, I’ve been taking care of my dog as well as my family’s and friend’s pets since I was 5, and I love all kinds of animals. I have just recently gotten out of the military and I will be having a lot of free time soon so I figured it would be the best time to take care of pets since they require a lot of attention. I will make sure your pet is properly walked and fed and played with for proper exercise daily, as well as applying any medicine needed.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 3,090 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Widewater Beach. 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 Widewater Beach 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 Widewater Beach 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 Widewater Beach 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
