“Amazing service!!! She tended to my fur babies with so much love.. Vintage didn’t want to leave her arms, he typically isn’t the affectionate one. I received daily updates and was able to enjoy my getaway with no worries.”
About: I’ve been in a Rover family taking care of dogs and cats of varying age and kind since I was 9! I love playing with your pet(s) and going on walks with them! Hello! I’m currently working part time as I complete grad school. Because of this, I have a very flexible schedule to work around your busy one and have plenty of time and availability to love on and care for your pet. My family grew up with our own dogs and we watched many dogs over the years. Now, I love getting to know new furry animals and taking care of them myself! Under my care, your furry family member will receive many walks, pets, and lots of play.
About: Growing up, animals were always a big part of my life. I’ve had hands-on experience caring for a variety of pets, including dogs, chinchillas, rabbits, turtles, frogs, ducks, and chicks. Being around so many different animals taught me how important it is to be patient, attentive, and understanding of each animal’s unique personality and needs. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, whether that means going on walks, playing, providing meals and fresh water, giving them attention and affection, or simply keeping them company. I understand that every pet has their own routine and comfort level, and I’m happy to follow their specific care instructions. I want every pet in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own and make sure you feel confident knowing they’re in good hands while you’re away! I do work full time so this is definitely more of a part time job for me :) but I will work best with you as my schedule allows! Im over the top when it comes to love and caring for animals so I will make sure to meet the necessary standards on making you feel comfortable and safe leaving your animals in my care.
About: Hi there! I'm a former veterinary technician with over 5 years of hands-on experience in both general practice and emergency veterinary medicine. From routine check-ups to urgent care, I've seen it all—and I bring that same calm, compassionate approach to every pet I meet. Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I've owned both dogs and cats for as long as I can remember, and I’m currently the proud pet parent of two sweet pups: Maggie, a lovable Golden Retriever, and Sally, a playful Goldendoodle. They keep life exciting—along with my two amazing kids! Now working full-time as an auditor, I still miss the daily interaction with animals, which is why I love offering pet care through Rover. Whether it's walks, playtime, or just a little TLC while you're away, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m reliable, attentive, and comfortable with pets of all ages, breeds, and medical needs. I’d love to meet your furry family member and help give them the care and attention they deserve! I work full-time Monday through Friday from 7:30 AM to 3:30 PM, but I’m available for: Evening Walks & Drop-In Visits on weekdays after 4:00 PM Weekend Walks, Drop-Ins & Overnight Stays — fully available Fridays after 4:00 PM through Sunday evening Holiday Availability upon request I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and will always communicate clearly to ensure your furry friend gets the care and attention they need! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fully fenced-in backyard where dogs can safely play and explore under close supervision. Inside my home, there’s a dedicated, pet-friendly area set up to ensure a calm and secure environment, complete with cozy resting spots, pet gates, and plenty of enrichment. My home is fully pet-proofed, and I can easily accommodate pets who are crate trained or have specific routines. I’m also comfortable administering medications or caring for pets with special needs, thanks to my experience as a veterinary technician. Before any stay or service, I offer meet & greets to ensure your pet feels comfortable with me and my home—and to give you peace of mind. Whether your pet is outgoing or shy, I’ll treat them with the love and patience they deserve. Your furry family member will be cared for like one of my own!
“This was the first time I’ve ever left my sweet girl with someone other than a family member or friend! He is super kind and took amazing care of our girl Gracie and loved her like his own which was exactly what we were looking for. He sent us pictures and videos on our trip and communicated thoroughly! Will definitely use him again we loved having him!”
About: What sets me apart is my genuine love and patience for dogs of all ages. I have experience with puppy training, including crate training and leash skills, as well as senior dog care, such as administering medication and adjusting to slower walks. I’m reliable, attentive, and always focused on making your dog feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether your pup needs structure or just snuggles, I’ve got it covered! Pet care fits perfectly into my routine. I work full-time but have Fridays and Saturdays off, which gives me plenty of time for dedicated, quality care. Even on workdays, I’m available for morning or evening visits, and I always make time to give pets the love, attention, and routine they need to feel safe and happy. I live in an apartment, so I focus on caring for pets in their own homes where they feel most comfortable. I follow each pet’s routine closely—whether that’s feeding, playtime, administering medication, or just keeping them company. I respect your space, keep things tidy, and make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and stress-free while you’re away.
“Vicki was an exceptional in-house dog sitter! Reliable, caring, and truly goes above and beyond. Left my dogs happy, healthy, and my home spotless. Couldn't ask for a better pet-sitting experience. Highly recommend!”
“Shannon did a great job taking care of our two labradors while we were gone for the week and she communicated well throughout our trip. Would be happy to use her services again in the future. Thanks Shannon!”
About: I have had dogs my entire life. As a child we always had dogs and as an adult I have always owned a dog. I pet sit friend's and family's dogs. I have always been successful with house training and training dogs to stay off of furniture etc. Living with and loving dogs, I find, is the best kind of therapy. They offer and deserve unconditional love. For me, dogs are family members!🐕🦺🦮🐕🐶❣ I do not work and I live alone so my schedule is completely up to me. I am very flexible and accommodating. I will work with your needs. I am mature so I know the importance of taking on the responsibility of your home as well as your fur babies. I am very clean too. You will find your home as clean or cleaner than you left it. I can also water plants and retrieve mail. Let me ease your worries while you are away from home. I do not work so my day is very flexible, your pup's schedule will become my schedule! I am free to follow whatever routine you have in place for your dog. I will care for your pets in your home exactly as you do. I request a list of routines and special instructions to make it easier on us both.
“Victoria was amazing! Our big pooch loved her and she took great care of him while we were gone. She sent multiple videos so we could see how great things were going. Highly recommend Victoria!”
“Tammy was an absolute blessing to have for my 3 babies. Our babies were so happy to see us when we returned but we could tell they were loved while we were away. I will definitely us her and recommend her again!”
About: I’ve always had a deep love and passion for animals and their overall well being. I have been the designated pet sitter and care taker for my family and friends for over 10 years. I enjoy all breeds of dogs and especially enjoy high energy dogs that love to play. When your pets are with me you can trust they will have a scheduled day with however many walks and meals they require. I have a designated play room for pets and will only crate them upon your requests. I currently work from home part time and have more then enough free time to keep your loved ones entertained and comfy. I take all my dogs on morning and afternoon walks during the winter I try to plan accordingly with the weather. You can trust your pet will be safe as I have a designated play area away from anything that could harm them or objects they should chew on. If you prefer I come to your house I ensure the pet is safe by following your care guidelines. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work from home several days a week and have a flexible schedule, allowing me to provide plenty of attention, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and cuddle time throughout the day. I keep a consistent routine to help pets feel comfortable, safe, and at home. I send regular photo and video updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a large, fully fenced backyard for supervised play, a designated indoor play area, and a nearby dog park for extra exercise if approved by you. My home is clean, pet friendly, and free of hazards. I carefully follow each pet’s feeding schedule, medication instructions, and daily routine. I only accept pets that are a good fit for my home and will always let you know if I have any questions or concerns during their stay.
About: Animals have always been an important part of my life, and caring for them comes very naturally to me. Over the years I’ve had the opportunity to care for dogs and cats with a wide range of personalities, routines, and needs — from energetic pets who love long walks and playtime to senior pets who require a calmer approach and extra patience. I understand how important consistency and routine are for animals, especially when their owners are away. I take the time to learn each pet’s habits, comfort levels, feeding schedules, and any special instructions so they feel safe and relaxed in their own environment. I’m comfortable with administering medications when needed, providing attentive companionship, and making sure pets receive plenty of affection, exercise, and care during each visit. I also respect clients’ homes and maintain clear communication so owners feel confident their pets are in good hands. My goal is always to provide dependable, thoughtful care so both pets and their owners feel comfortable and supported. I am currently working full-time 9a-6p and I am off on Sundays and Mondays, short days on weekends, and 10a-5p on Saturday! I’m happy to go on my lunch breaks as well. I feed my fur baby Walli twice a day, before and after work. He also gets tons of love and sleeps with me every night. :)
“I cannot say enough good things about Shanna! We’ve lived a lot of places and booked through rover frequently and she is top notch. She communicated frequently with updates and pictures and you could tell our two dogs and cat took to her immediately! I would absolutely recommend her as someone to trust your fur babies with.”
“We have a chaotic house with four animals, but Avery was unfazed. Right away it's obvious she is great with animals. She stayed at our home for two weeks and managed the madness beautifully. Professional, highly communicative, and genuinely caring. Our fur babies loved her!”
About: I’ve grown up around many different breed of dogs, and many different kinds of animals. I have watched animals for family and friends for years, whether they’re puppies or senior. I figured it was time to extend my services as it’s something I really enjoy. I am very attentive and treat every animal like they’re my own! I am in my first trimester of pregnancy and recently had to step away from my job, so I am home all day, and always looking for something to do. This means I have all the time in the world to give your fur baby all of the love and attention they deserve! I have a fenced in yard and one little dog named Peanut, who just loves other animals! We go out in the yard for a bit every morning and after breakfast and then go for our morning walk around our very dog friendly neighborhood, and repeat again in the afternoon after dinner! There is also a large dog park that is typically unoccupied that Peanut loves to run around and play at!

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 Wigginsville 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 Wigginsville 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 Wigginsville 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.
