I dog walk and sit for a lot of my family and friends I am retired so my schedule is pretty open to Petcare.

About: I’ve had dogs and cats all my life. I love walking and playing with dogs. When I’m not in school I take care of my dog Sadie. I’m currently studying aviation at wright state. I’m available for drops in and spending the nights on weekdays and available all day on weekends. If you have a un fenced yard I will watch the dog outside and I can easily put a dog into a crate if needed.
About: I’ve lived in houses with pets my whole life ranging from dogs of all different breeds, cats, bunnies, and goats :) I have a lot of love for animals. I enjoy spending time with them and getting to see their personalities. I’m currently working a seasonal job so I have plenty of time to care for your fur babies. I have a flexible schedule so most days I should be available! I take extra care and consideration for every owner that allows me to sit in their house. I follow the instructions given to me as well as leave everything the way I found it. I wash and put away everything I used during my stay. And of course I will give your pets all the love I have!!🩷
About: My family has owned dogs all of my life, some of which I have trained personally, and I volunteer at 4Paws as a Field Friend playing with service dogs in training. I volunteer part time at 4Paws. My schedule is very open and flexible. I wake up and feed my own cats and make sure they are happy and safe. My parents live on several acres of property. We have a fenced in yard with a doggie door so they can go out to do their business as needed. I also walk them around the property off leash anywhere between the barn and horse pasture.
“Kiera is the best! She took such great care of our zoo and went above and beyond to make sure they were happy and safe. She stayed in touch with updates and photos and we vacationed easy because we knew they were in great hands. We came back to a tidy house and content animals. 14/10”
“Haley was really great and communicative with us! I could tell our pets were cared for and she took care our house while we were away. We will definitely be repeat clients for our next venture if she'll keep having us!”
About: Hi! I’m Emmabelle, a college student studying Elementary Education. I’m responsible, dependable, patient, and caring, and I’d love to help take care of your pets while you’re away or need an extra hand! I have experience caring for pets for family, friends, and others, including feeding, providing fresh water, letting dogs outside, going on walks, giving pets plenty of attention, and keeping up with their normal routines. I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust not only with your pets, but also in your home. Because of my background in childcare and education, I’m very comfortable being responsible for others and following detailed routines and instructions. I’ll always make sure I understand your pet’s individual needs, personality, schedule, and any house rules before you leave them in my care. I’m happy to provide updates and pictures during visits so you can feel comfortable knowing your pets are safe and being loved on while you’re away! 🐾 I currently offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting. I’m a college student, so my availability varies throughout the week, but I keep my Rover calendar updated and have more flexibility during evenings and weekends. I’d love to meet you and your pets! Feel free to message me with any questions or to set up a meet & greet. 😊 I am a college student with a pretty flexible schedule for check ins, walks, and overnight care! My availability is pretty open for the most part. I will treat your home with care, as if it was my own home. I will always be respectful of your space and belongings. Communication is always open!
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and helped at the local vet clinic growing up. My last dog passed away from heart failure in 2022. It’s a busy time for my sons activities so it’s not a good time to bring a full time dog into our home at this time but would love to help others out. I work full time outside the home M-TH from 8-3 and half day Fridays (occasional Fridays totally free). I am willing to be flexible with week day stays if they can manage being alone during those hours. Our yard is unfenced but I would walk or chain them out depending on owner preference. They would be treated like they were my own.
“Jonathan was great with our pup Rex! Rex seemed to have warmed up to him quickly which is amazing considering how old and grumpy he can be with strangers. Kept us updated and left the house cleaner than we left it! Thank you for loving our boy and giving us peace of mind on our vacation!”
“Ben did a great job again!!!!! Had a few surprise deliveries that I wasn’t expecting and he was great help with those. And the shy kitty ended up purring on his lap. That says it all.”
“Marin was the BEST!! We are very picky about our sweet Nelly. Marin not only took fantastic care of Nelly, but stayed at our house for the time we were gone. We 100% trust Marin and she did a fantastic job. We knew when we met her that she has that "trust factor". My husband, being a retired police officer is super picky about not only someone watching our sweet dog, but letting someone stay in our home. We had NO worries with Marin!!! She is awesome!!! We will be counting on her on all future trips we have.”
About: Hi! My name is Andrea and I’d love to hang with your pup! My preference is to house sit for you as I’m currently in a condo that might limit my availability to watch your fur baby in my home, but I’m open to discussing! I work remote, so my job allows me to work anywhere. It’s a win/win for you and me. If I go anywhere, I won’t be gone long or I’ll take them with me. I’ve had dogs in my family for all of my life. I had my own baby for almost 15 years and had to say goodbye a couple years ago (he’s pictured in the red wagon on my profile). I’d love to have another dog, but I haven’t found the right one yet. So in the meantime, I’ve been dog sitting for friends and family and found that I love it! I love all dogs and will love your furbaby as my own! I’m flixible and available last minute most of the time! My schedule is flexible. Because I work remote/from home, we’ll have plenty of play time. It also means less alone time and/or kennel time for your pup. I don’t have an enclosed yard, but I enjoy taking breaks from work to go for walks. And I promise your pup won’t be ignored. I can crate if needed, but I’d much rather take them for a ride in my car if I have to go anywhere.
About: I have been around & taken care of animals almost all my life. I currently have no pets of my own I have owned a dog in the past. I have some experience walking and sitting my family members animals. I live in a fairly quiet neighborhood with a park just a few minutes away from my home. I joined rover to be able to help with other animals & share my love during my time with them however you choose to book. I work from home so I will have full attention to meet all requirements for each & every pet.I don’t usually like to leave my house much while boarding so if I do it would be something important Always keep a clean & safe environment for them, also try to stick to their routine so they can be comfortable with a new person
“Julie was so helpful to us! She took care of our elderly dog and skittish kitty with as much love as we would have. She provided regular updates and photos and even did light housekeeping for us-that we didn’t expect at all!! I highly recommend Julie for your pets and home.”
“Tonia took great care of our very anxious dog, Jack. She agreed to watch him for a last-minute trip we took, and he warmed up to her right away, which is unusual for him! She was so kind and sent us many pictures and updates while we were gone. I will absolutely ask her to help us out again!”
About: I’ve pet sat for friends of friends and neighbors in KY for a few years and hope to do the same here. I love taking care of animals, I’ve had a few over the years including 2 dogs, 3 cats and a snake. I’ve been lucky enough to raise some of them from birth. On Wednesday to Friday the pets will have my undivided attention if needs be. I get off work at about 3 and still have all day to you pet. I am also fully flexible if plans change or if something comes up. I have stopped cat fights and created a Great Dane with little to no issues. Every dogs has his day. I’m also more worried about them than me.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 505 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Wilberforce. 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 Wilberforce 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 Wilberforce 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 Wilberforce 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.
