“Anthony gave great care to our dog and 2 cats. They were calm and happy upon our return. He communicated well before anna during the stay, and sent pictures which we always appreciate. We would recommend Anthony to take care of your pets as well.”

About: I have 20+ years of experience caring for dogs and cats. I’ve been a lifelong pet owner, so I understand daily routines, behavior, and different personalities. I’m calm, patient, and attentive, and I treat every pet like my own. I also have experience with both active dogs and senior pets, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m available most days of the week, offering flexible and reliable care. I can feed, walk, and play with pets, making sure they get plenty of attention, care, and companionship. I have a large home and a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel who loves other dogs and cats. I also offer pet care in your home if needed. I also have a dog crate available
“Thanks to Meaghan, I was completely comfortable leaving my cat and my house in her care while away. She's a very calming presence and quickly made friends with my cat, as well as giving her medicine and watering my plants. She had a family emergency that meant leaving for the weekend but let me know promptly so I could make other arrangements while she was away. I will definitely hire her again.”
“Rachel was a great sitter. She kept me up to date with pictures and helped coordinate a vet visit and other needs. She went above and beyond and took both of my dogs to the park and the beach which they love. When I got home, the house was clean and organized and my boys were happy and healthy. I recommend Rachel for sitting and will be booking her for my future trips.”
“Charlotte is wonderful! She recently stayed with my dog and cat while I was away. Great communication and photos. My animals and home were very well taken care of. I would happily have Charlotte take care of my pets again!”
“Second time using David and he was just as incredible as the first time! My A/C went out in a storm the day before David was set to house sit with my dogs for a few days so I reached out to give him a heads up and let me know if he would like to cancel. David assured me he would still be happy to watch my house and dogs, regardless of the fact it would be 90 some degrees with no A/C. He made us feel so at ease while we were out of town and kept us updated so well on how he and the dogs were handling the heat. He was incredibly kind and attentive throughout the whole stay. I received updates and the cutest pictures throughout the stay and it always looked like my dogs were very happy. So thankful for David and impressed as always. Can’t recommend him enough!”
“Nadia was fantastic with Oliver. She’s extremely responsive, took great care of my buddy, and sent lots of pictures. I will use Nadia again and highly recommend her to care for your pet.”
“We had the BEST experience with Loren watching our dogs! She watched our two golden retrievers and even brought her own golden over during the day so they could all play together. Our boys loved it! She kept us updated, took great care of everyone, and treated our house like it was her own. She sent lots of cute pictures too. Highly recommend Loren and will definitely use her again in the future🤩”
“Jylesha took great care of my blind senior pup! She eased my mind while I was away with updates and photos. Jylesha even went out of her way to clean up before she left. Highly recommend!”
About: I have a love for dogs since adopting my first shelter dog. My love grew as I gotten to learn about the canine species over time and started dogsitting. I work from home so I am available and around the pets almost all the time. Some of them might get sick of me cause I’m always at home. House sitting - I can stay over night and provide service as needed Boarding - dogs can stay with me and are allowed on furniture.
About: I’ve had dogs in my family since I was 12 years old. I have three currently of my own, all Shih Tzus. I have dog sat for neighbors as well. One of my dogs had kidney disease that required medication twice daily, weekly vet visits and prescription food. I am well versed in caring for sick and senior dogs as well. I am available after 5pm Monday-Thursday, after 2pm Fridays and all day on Saturday and Sundays. I can also create time if needed, on a case by case basis. I am careful to follow any rules or guides put into place. I am happy to have your dog hangout with me or crate them if that’s what you prefer.
About: My father owned a pet care business in New Jersey but now that I've moved to North Carolina I'm ready to continue doing what I love by myself. I plan on making this my full time job, I currently work remote so I am free any time of the day any day of the week 😁. My care is fully respectful of my clients wishes, pets will never be over or under fed, they will have plenty of exercise and play time and the house will always be clean when I'm done.
About: I’ve had dogs since I was a child and have always been responsible for walking, feeding, bathing, etc. I have also watched dogs here and there and absolutely enjoy it. I’d love to be a safe and trustworthy option to take care of your baby! I am employed full time but my hours switch from morning and night so as long as I have a days heads up, I can let you know asap whether I’ll be able to or not. I have two dogs at home that are very sweet, but I have a senior dog who can get a little grumpy- I don’t think having another dog in the house would be a good option if it was overnight.
“Loren took amazing care of my two cats while I was away. She followed their care instructions thoroughly and she truly allowed me to enjoy my vacation without worrying if the cats were well taken care of. I really appreciated her communication and truly loved all of the picture updates she sent me each day. Loren was overall wonderful and I would 100% request her help in the future.”

Met Kaylee before the dog sitting. For her to meet the dogs. Kaylee was very good with meeting the dogs and understanding expectations. Kaylee is responsible. This young lady has good life experience. At first met with the dogs they settled right in with her. I’ll use her again.

The average cost of House Sitting in Wilbon is $35 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 and $51 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 Wilbon 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 Wilbon 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 Wilbon 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.

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.
