“Beverly did a great job with our dog Koda. We will definitely be using her again. She sent pictures everyday and left the house exactly how we left it. I would recommend her to anyone! ☺️”
About: I've been around cats my entire life! I've helped raised litters and even have 2 boys myself! I hope to one day work with cats professionally one day and I thought this would be good way to get myself out there Monday through Fridays I will been in school till 12 am. I have a part-time job with it but with a mostly fixed schedule. My cats are not allowed outside and I have both of them chipped, I do yearly vaccine appointments with my main vet. I've installed cats shelves and multiple cat tree for them also. I've also trained one to be harness trained( my other is to anxious of loud noise to be walked currently. )
About: Years of owning different pets or being around them. Have raised puppies into good dogs. Watched my buddies aged and learned how to take care of them and not push them too hard. I pay attention to subtle changes in the dogs behavior and adjust what is needed to ensure their safety and comfort. My schedule is pretty open, letting me provide reliable care for the fur babies. Pet care is an average part of my everyday, be it trying to keep my own clean, fed, and exercised. I have found that routine is important in our pets eyes as a means of safety. I will ask many questions about interacting with your pet so i can earn their trust by maintaining their routine and expectations. Consistency works wonders and allows us confidence in care.
“Kimberly was very communicative throughout my time away and seemed great with the animals! I came back and she had cleaned the litter box without asking and all 4 animals were very happy and well taken care of!”
“Bronwyn was a great sitter. She provided daily updates and pictures. She even took my dog to vet for an emergency visit and keep me updated throughout the process. She is a very caring sitter. Highly recommend Bronwyn C.”
“We found her last minute, and she truly exceeded every expectation. She was so gentle with my fur babies, kept me updated the whole time without me needing to ask, and made sure they were always comfortable and cared for. I absolutely recommend her and will be hiring her again.”
About: I've had animals my whole 21 years of living. I grew up and helped trained dogs all sizes. Ages and differnt breeds. I've been dog sitting for a good 5 years now, and have been walking them for about another 2 year. I love all kinds of dog and cat breeds. I have a a big dog park right next to my place that I occasionally take my puppy to, to have a full relaxing time to themselves. I have a wide open schedule. I work hybrid at home, so I'm constantly sitting and just waiting. You let me know when and I'll do it. I am a stay at home military wife. I have full availability and even have flexible times for anything of your needs. I love to watch movies on the couch and have some snuggles. Going on walks is a must in my day.
“We are so grateful for Jennie. A last minute need over Christmas week and she took the best care of our dog. Masterclass! She provided timely updates, photos, and instilled confidence that our dog was being taken care of and loved for in our absence.”
“Amber is incredible, she came through last minute when my Rover got sick during my vacation and blew me away with her care for my dog Lucy. She was very communicative, sent regular updates, took Lucy for multiple long walks each day, was in tune with Lucy and knowledgeable about dog behavior and needs, worked with Lucy on some of our current training, and seemed to really love and care for Lucy as if she was her own. Came home to a clean, sanitized home. Will absolutely use Amber again in the future.”
“We are so thankful for Rachel and her willingness to take in our Watts!! Her in-depth dig into who he is as a pup helped ease our stress of having to leave him behind over thanksgiving! Daily updates of their adventures helped make us miss him less knowing that he was having just as much fun as we were. Upon his return to us, you can tell he wasn’t stressed while away and that his mind was challenge. He definitely returned with better manners than he left us with, and our own training and expectations were held in place while away. We hope to be able to use her again in the future!!!”
About: I've been taking care of animals my whole entire life, growing up in a family that worked in an animal shelter, we'd always foster dogs and cats. Animals mean a lot to me, when I get the opportunity to pet sit, I like to treat them as if they were my own, with love and care. I'm currently in school 3 days a week. I'm available to pet sit Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays. Services can be requested as early as 6:00am to pet sit and late as 7:00pm. I have a fenced yard to provide a safe play area for your pet to play, and space in the house for your pet to roam and rest.
“Leslie stepped-up as our dog sitter at the last minute due to a cancellation by the initial sitter. She immediately put us at ease in our time of distress. An angel in disguise! Her warm-hearted nature and love for dogs really shine through. She asked detailed questions about the care of our dogs and outlined the plan for where the dogs would sleep and hang out while in her home. Each day of our trip, Leslie sent pictures and updates to keep us in the loop. The dogs appeared so happy we were almost afraid they would not want to return home with us. Leslie provided such great care of Viggo and Lola! We are forever grateful for her service. Would recommend her without hesitation and intend to use her again and again. Thank you so much, Leslie!”
“We couldn't have left our pets, and our home, in better hands! We had a good feeling when Samantha stopped by for a meet n greet and our Molly took to her immediately. She's normally very shy and standoffish at first so it was particularly remarkable that she had no hesitation with Samantha at all. While we were gone Samantha kept us updated with daily reports and photos of our babies. When we arrived home (hours later than agreed, due to airline delays), the house was spotless and the animals were all happy & healthy. From now on, whenever we need house/pet sitting services she will be our first choice!”
About: I don’t mind any size dog or breed. I’ve owned two Siberian huskies in my life. I also grew up around a chow chow and Rottweiler. I also don’t mind helping with basic training skills. I will provide active care if requested. I walk dogs but also do bike joring for the proper dogs! Hope to hear from you! Hi, I’m Baron. I work part time at a golf course and am excited to try rover. I’ve had multiple dogs throughout my life and have taken care of may friends and family dogs as well. I don’t mind if dogs as I’ve had two Siberians in my life! I will gladly take the dogs for a walk, or game of fetch. Whatever is requested. I love dogs and am also an active person! If the dog just like to relax that’s fine too!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Wigwam is $34 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $36 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.

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 Wigwam 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 Wigwam 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 Wigwam 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.

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.
