“Brooke was absolutely wonderful with Crash and Jackson! This was our first time using her, and she exceeded our expectations. Jackson can be a little skittish with new people, but Brooke was so patient with him, taking the time to let him warm up at his own pace. By the end of the stay, the two of them were sharing cuddles on the couch! Crash was happy and well cared for too. You could tell Brooke genuinely loves animals and treats them like her own. We'll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Rissa was great with our pup Charlie. He is normally shy but warmed up quickly to her! She has excellent communication skills and so the updates were spot on. It really made us comfortable while we were away knowing Charlie was being well cared for by Rissa with snuggles, nice walks, and playtime. 😊 We would definitely have her again and recommend her care.”
“Ella was very communicative during her stay at the house. She sent pictures multiple times a day and left the house in fantastic shape. It seemed like Tucker was in good hands during my trip. Would recommend.”
“Jen was amazing with our 2 small dogs! She house/pet sit for us the week that we were gone and it was the best decision we could’ve made! She gave us plenty of updates and left our house in perfect condition. Even our sensitive dog really clang to her. I cannot say enough good things. We will definitely rebook with Jen.”
“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.”
“Alex was great! We received tons of pictures and videos of Roxy while we were gone which was comforting as this was our first time using Rover. The house was the same as when we left it when we arrived home. Alex even went above and beyond by washing the sheets and towels she used while she was here before we returned home. There isn’t enough to say about how great this experience was! Thank you Alex! Roxy cannot wait to see you again soon :)”
“This was my first time leaving my pets with a sitter. Kate came over twice beforehand to help put my mind at ease. She took good care of my three fur babies and house while I was away. She sent pictures throughout the stay and always responded when I messaged her. I would use Kate again in the future.”
“Kristina took impeccable care of my cat. She sent me multiple pics and video of him daily and it eased my worries about leaving him. Highly recommend Kristina!”
“So incredibly thankful for Erica’s services. I felt so reassured and comfortable leaving my animals in her care. She provided updates and pictures and was reliable with everything we needed. She set the golden standard of care for us. Will be booking again, if needed. Thank you Erica!”
“Courtney did a fantastic job! The house was cleaner than when I left and she took excellent care of my pup. She also sent the perfect amount of updates/ pictures/ videos! Would recommend without hesitation.”
About: My family and I have fostered dogs and cats for the last 12 years. Through this I have gained valuable experience with working with a variety of dog breeds. Although, my experience goes beyond this as my love for animals is one of my greatest traits. While working pastime at a childcare facility, I have enough time throughout the day to check on your pet, let them out for a potty break, or just keep them company! Depending if I have any other activities or events to attend to, I’m pretty much free all the time. I currently have 3 dogs and 2 cats. For the dogs, we have a large, fenced in yard with plenty of room for them to run and play. All of our dogs have leashes and collars to ensure safety for us and our pets. As for the cats, they each have their own litter box which is scooped daily and their own food bowls.
“Keara was responsive when I reached out. I do wish we had gotten more updates on our critters, but they were fed, watered, and let out on a regular schedule during her stay.”
“Kaitlyn was wonderful! She sent updates with adorable photos. She was on time and very flexible with our pets needs/behaviors. We will definitely be reaching out to her for services requests again.”
“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🤩”
“Dawn was absolutely wonderful. She stayed at my house with my two dogs and cat and took amazing care of them. She sent videos and pictures of each of them throughout the day, was able to give all the medications, and took amazing care of my home. It was great to be able to just relax on my trip and not have to worry about my fur babies and home.”
“Aja deserves 10 stars, we highly recommend her to anyone seeking her service. She’s very professional and structured, and followed all of our little requests. We loved her thorough and personalized updates throughout her stay with our dog. We felt comfortable with her in our home and with our German shepherd, who seemed to warm up to her quickly. We look forward to having her back soon!”
“Natallia was great with Duck! She was very communicative and made sure both Duck and I were comfortable when I had to leave! I will definitely work with Natallia in the future and highly recommend her!”

Shalu took care of our 2 cats as an in-home, overnight sitter while we were away for a very long trip. We have a cat that requires daily medication, and then a week prior to our trip, one cat developed an additional medical issue that complicated their care. All of this made me anxious about leaving, but Shalu was very understanding and reassuring. I seriously could not recommend Shalu more - she was communicative, courteous, flexible, experienced with complicated cat care, and took excellent care of our babies and our home despite all of the additional, last minute changes to care plan. We would book with her again in a heartbeat! Thank you, Shalu!!
Kristina was amazing with our dog Sunny! She was great with communication through the whole stay, sent regular photos daily so we could see how he was doing, she also made sure to send photos of her giving him his medication so we would know it was given to him! Would highly recommend her as a dogsitter!
Chelsea provided house sitting for our French Bulldog and English Bulldog for 2 weeks while we were overseas. She sent daily updates and pictures. The dogs seemed happy in the pics! There was a problem with our air conditioner which was taken care of the very next day. She handled the situation like a champ. We had to extend our stay for one extra day. Chelsea was very flexible and accommodated our request to add another day. We returned home with our house in order and very excited dogs. We will continue to use her services because she is dependable, flexible and kind.
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.
We were incredibly fortunate to have Meyling stay in our home as a live-in pet sitter in December. From the moment she arrived, our animals took to her immediately, which gave us complete peace of mind. She was caring, attentive, and clearly very comfortable around animals. Throughout our time away, Meyling kept us consistently updated with messages and photos, which we truly appreciated and found very reassuring. Our home was well cared for, and our pets were happy, relaxed, and clearly well loved when we returned. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Meyling to anyone looking for a trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely caring pet sitter, and we would happily have her back again.
Colleen housesat for us and was very communicative. She made our animals feel very loved and comfortable with her. She really paid attention to their needs and was respectful of our house guidelines… when we have a future need for a sitter or someone to do a drop in we will definitely be contacting Colleen again.

FAQs for House Sitting - Wilbon
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Wilbon on Rover is $37.8 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 3,007 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Wilbon. 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 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Wilbon. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
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.
