“Ryan was by far one of the best house sitters Duke and I have seen. He took the time to really get to know Duke and did everything he could to keep Duke’s routine as normal as possible. He sent lots of pictures and videos throughout the stay, and I could tell Duke was having a great time. Will definitely use Ryan for any of Duke’s needs again!”
“Tucker was provided with great overnight care! Shannon was communicative and sent pics of our sweet boy while we were vacationing. She collected our mail and kept the house in great shape!”
About: I’ve lived with dogs and cats my entire life and have over 15 years of hands-on experience caring for pets. Growing up, my mom had five dogs—some of which had puppies—and I helped raise and care for them. I’ve also cared for cats in multi-pet households, including feeding, litter box maintenance, and creating calm, safe environments for shy or senior cats. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me for years to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets while they’re away. I now have a black Yorkie of my own, and I treat every animal I care for like part of the family—whether they bark or purr! I currently work part time- and have lots of free time! I will send out a daily schedule of what I’ll be doing with the pets! I will take your dog out on walks on our neighborhood trail outside! I also have a few ring cameras, and will send a lot of pictures/videos throughout the day.

I have taken care of our families dogs as well as watching other family friends pets. I have watched animals with allergies and medication needs. Dogs of all ages are welcome. I will meet any needs of the dog/dogs and ensure to have them back to you safe worn out and happy. I work part time so most of my day is running errands or cleaning the house. If they love car rides they are more than welcome to drive around with me. I will adjust my schedule to meet the needs of the dog or animal. Also absolutely love my kitties. Open to all animal requests just ask! Im a full time optician and part time cook. With plenty of notice I will take off my parttime job to care for your babies. Your pet will be loved as family. Your pet will be able to sleep with me and get full access of my apartment. Toilet bowl lids will always be closed
“Absolutely! Here’s a warm, genuine Rover review: Ally was absolutely wonderful with our dog Daisy! She took care of her for a long weekend and was so sweet, communicative, and attentive throughout her stay. We felt completely comfortable knowing Daisy was in such great hands. To top it off, all of our fire alarms unexpectedly went off while we were away, and Ally handled the situation so calmly and responsibly. We really appreciated how she kept us informed and took care of everything. We would absolutely recommend Ally and would love to have her watch Daisy again!”
“We couldn’t be more grateful for the care Justine provided. From the beginning, communication was clear, prompt, and professional and we received regular updates and photos, which made being away so much easier. When we returned home, our dog was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. That says everything. We would absolutely book again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy, responsible, and compassionate dog sitter.”

About: As a mom and lifelong animal lover, I understand how important trust is when someone cares for your pet. I offer dependable, attentive care in a calm home setting. I’m patient, nurturing, and detail-oriented — making sure your dog feels loved, exercised, and safe at all times. My open schedule allows for consistent supervision and care. I’m flexible with my time and available most days and weekends which allows attentive care :) I care for pets in my home, offering a secure and relaxed setting while you’re away.

About: I took care of my family dogs and cats, my own dogs and cats, rabbits, and I've helped friends with their dog, mostly to feed and walk them too. I used to train our own puppies back in the day, but it's been awhile. I just retired from being an elementary school counselor, so I'm more available to walk and care for animals. My schedule is fairly open if I'm not on a travel trip, so I can walk dogs during the day most anytime and care for some animals when needed. We don't have furry pets, because my husband has an allergy. However, I want to be with dogs without him as much as possible. I do walk my neighbor's dog when she's not available.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for years now. From my own to sitting to volunteering at shelters they’ve become such a huge part of my life. I have experience with everything from puppy to old and all types of energy levels and training. I’ll be sure to take care of your dog as my own! I’m available weekdays after 4 and most weekends as well as early mornings. Weekends I have typical all day availability for a variety of needs. I have a nice complex park for the dogs to play in. Whatever rules you want your dog to follow in your own home I’ll make sure they do! Safety is always the number one priority.
“Alex is incredible - incredibly reliable, super communicative, and best of all, my dog absolutely loves him!!! Alex regularly walks Kody, and we won’t hesitate to have him to stay again the next time we’re out of town!”
“Bri is wonderful as always! She makes us feel so at ease when we travel. She takes amazing care of our pets and is very communicative. We will continue to always use her for a sitter when we travel.”
About: I have always been a big animal lover. I got my first dog when I turned 2 years old and did everything I could to help take care of her. I got another dog a couple of years later who became my best friend. Before I left for college he would come everywhere with me. I am now the happy and proud owner of a 6 and 12 year old cat and want to continue growing my pet family. In addition to growing up taking care of my own pets I had the responsibility of pet sitting for a lot of different families in my neighborhood. I have worked as a client service representative and now as a veterinary assistant at an animal hospital and have been able to gain knowledge and experience about pet healthcare and wellbeing beyond the general scope. I will always do my absolute best to make sure your animals are happy and healthy. I love pets of every kind and would be happy to help you take care of yours if the need ever arises! I am currently a full time employee at an animal hospital. I would be available to do drop ins before and after work and am happy to do overnight visits as long as the owner is aware I will have to leave for around 8 hours to work. Establishing trust with a pet is the most important thing you can do to ensure they are happy and healthy. I will be sure to provide individualized care for your pet depending on their needs and temperament to ensure they are as mentally and physically comfortable as possible.
“Gervon in a tremendous Dogsitter. He was communicative, kind, and attentive. He accommodated the medical needs of our pets, too. He even cleaned the sheets before he left! We highly recommend Gervon.”

It really just depends on your dogs needs and how I can best provide for them! I am really good with handling dogs and getting them to listen. I’m super athletic so I’ll love taking your dogs on walks and playing! Super openly available for all there needs.
About: Hi! My name is Bria, I’ve raised pups my entire life. I got my first puppy (all black cocker spaniel) on my first birthday and have been in love ever since. I loved her happily her for a long 15 years and have had the pleasure of raising a Bichon, Cockapoo, and now a lovely rescue baby who we think is a lab mix. I will soon be moving into a space where I will be able to house many more pets at once but until then I’ll be happy to care for your pup (or kitty!) while you tend to your life. I have taken all the classes/certificates necessary but I’d be happy to do anything else to make you more comfortable. Thank you for considering me!
About: I've been around dogs since I was six years old, so caring for them has always been a natural part of my life. Growing up, I helped walk, feed, bathe, and care for dogs of all ages and personalities. I also have experience looking after pets when they're not feeling well, including cleaning up after digestive issues and providing extra patience and attention. I've cared for cats as well, including those with medical conditions, making sure they're comfortable, following care instructions, and giving them the love and attention they need. To me, pets have always been more than animals—they've been like family, almost like my own brothers and sisters. I enjoy spending time playing with them, keeping them active, and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. My goal is to treat every pet as if they were my own It gives me the freedom to continue to focus and work in school. I can be around animals which I love and adore. I’m happy. In my home I try to make sure they can go outside as much as possible. The times when I’ve had pets it’s been very important to me to emulate an environment that is similar to what they would find in the wildlife. It’s important to me the pets feel free and happy. Have enough space to stretch out. That they can enjoy their lives as much as I am enjoying them.
About: I love working with dogs! Ive worked in many different areas with dogs, I want people to feel safe and they’re furry friends to feel safe as well! I’m currently in college with a good amount of free time! I don’t have a set schedule as I do school online. So I’ll be able to work with your needs for your pet(s) I’ve worked with many different dogs over the years and I believe I am capable of following whatever measures to keep your dog safe and well cared for!

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 Wiggins 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 Wiggins 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.
<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 Wiggins 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!

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 .
