“Teresa dog-sat in our home for a week while we went out of state. I was a nervous dog parent after not leaving our dog for 3 years of Covid. Teresa's quick communication and frequent updates put us at ease. We returned to a happy dog and a clean home. Would definitely rebook!”

“Paris was very responsive to my questions, comments, and requests. I appreciated the care she gave my dogs. They are pretty independent but having someone there to keep them company and watch the house while I am gone gives me peace of mind while I am traveling.”

About: I’ve always grown up around animals in a big, loving family that treats pets like family members, so caring for them has always come naturally to me. While I’m new to Rover, I do have hands-on experience caring for my own pets as well as helping family friends with dog sitting, check-ins, feeding, walks, playtime, and giving lots of attention. I genuinely love animals and enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I’m patient, kind, dependable, and committed to making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Whether your dog loves energetic walks, belly rubs, or just a calm companion, I’m happy to match their needs and make sure they’re well cared for. I’m currently a college student and I’m the Army Reserves taking one summer class and working part-time, which gives me a pretty flexible schedule this summer. I have plenty of free time for dog sitting, drop-in visits, walks, and giving pets the attention they deserve throughout the day. I’m especially available for families who need reliable help during vacations, work hours, or busy summer schedules. Because of my flexibility, I can often accommodate different routines and make pet care a genuine priority. Your pet’s comfort and safety are extremely important to me. I understand how important trust is when someone else is caring for your furry family member, so I always aim to provide dependable, loving, and attentive care. In your home, I will respect your space, carefully follow all instructions, and keep your pet’s normal routine as consistent as possible. I pay close attention to feeding schedules, potty breaks, exercise, and behavior to make sure pets feel secure and happy. I believe in gentle care, patience, and creating a positive experience so both pets and owners feel confident and at ease.

About: I have always been surrounded by dog, whether it was my own or taking care of others. I believe that dogs deserve as much love as they give us. I am a homebody, but that means that I'll be more available to hang out with your dog for walks or trips to the park. I live in a townhouse apartment, which means that I have experience with walking dogs around non-fenced areas. This also means I will be observant if you do have a fenced area.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life since I was a kid. I love dogs and my whole family is very dog friendly. I currently have two of my own dogs, Blizzard my 5 1/2 year old Goldendoodle and Boomer my 8 1/2 year old Beagle. These guys are my best friends! Since rescuing my Goldendoodle Blizzard, I’ve also learned to bathe & groom him, a special skill that takes practice and patience. Boarding Notes: I work from home, so I am able to take care of the dogs and be very flexible with their walking, feeding and bathroom needs. At my house, dogs are welcome on the furniture and on the bed at night but I will respect other owners obedience/rules while caring for their dogs. We have a lot of the room in the house which even has a fun room with toy mountain, a collection of hundreds of dog toys that everyone is welcome to play with! I have a big backyard but it is not fenced in. Instead, I prefer to walk the dogs on leashes/leads or attach them to the dog-run line I have running across the backyard for playtime! House Sitting Notes: I am more than happy to pack up and come stay at your home to watch your dog(s)! My only condition is that I would need to bring my two dogs with me for the house sitting stay. If this is something you would not allow, I will not be able to house sit for you. If you are open to this, we can discuss more about rules/regulations if I were to house sit for you to make sure you are fully comfortable with me and my two dogs staying in your home once you submit the request! Drop In Notes: I am happy to do drop in's to care for your dogs, instead of boarding them at my house. For drop in's, I would stop by 1 or 2 times each day for a length of time you request to play and care for your dogs. I would not stay overnight. I do this for families that would prefer their dogs stay in their own environment and not get boarded. You should only book this if your dog(s) can go 12 hours or more without a bathroom break. If your dog(s) cannot do that, I would strongly encourage you to board your dogs with me or request I house sit - either way I would make sure they are very comfortable and safe. I would love the opportunity to watch your dog(s) and can be flexible with short-term or long-term boarding, drop ins, house sitting - plus other accommodations. I will treat your dogs as if they were my own and give them a lot of love and care for their entire stay! My services are worth the investment so you have peace of mind! If you are interested in my services, put a request in so we can plan everything out. I work from home, therefore I can accommodate many different types of schedules based on a dogs needs. Frequent walks, feeding or medication is no challenge throughout each day/night. Any dog who comes to stay with us will be loved and cared for as if they were my own. Same goes if I am to come care for your dogs at your home. They will get plenty of love and attention with play-time and companionship!

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my background working in a veterinary clinic and the trust I’ve built with both clients and their pets. I’ve dog sat for many clients from the clinic, so I’m already familiar with their pets’ personalities, medical needs, and routines. That makes both the pets and owners feel more comfortable because they know their dog is with someone they already trust. Clients like me because I’m reliable, attentive, and experienced. I’m used to handling all kinds of situations, whether it’s giving medications, caring for senior dogs, or keeping up with energetic puppies. I pay close attention to details and always follow the pet’s routine to keep them as stress-free as possible. On top of that, I communicate well with owners and keep them updated, so they always feel reassured while they’re away. I treat every dog like my own, which is something clients really value.I also have trained a lot of my clients pets. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I already work in a veterinary setting and am used to caring for animals throughout the day. I plan my schedule around the pets I’m watching, making sure they get consistent walks, feeding times, playtime, and any needed care. I’m very organized and reliable, so I make time in the mornings, evenings, and throughout the day for check-ins or longer stays depending on what each pet needs. Since I’m used to managing multiple animals at once, it feels like a natural part of my routine, not something extra. I care for pets by sticking closely to their normal routine so they feel comfortable and stress-free. In a client’s home, I make sure to follow their feeding schedule, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions they leave. I also keep the environment calm and familiar, since that helps pets feel safe while their owner is away. Because of my veterinary experience, I’m comfortable giving medications, monitoring behavior, and noticing if anything seems off. I pay close attention to each pet’s needs, whether that’s extra exercise for energetic dogs or gentle care for senior pets. If I’m caring for pets in my home, I provide a clean, safe, and quiet space where they can relax. I make sure they get plenty of attention, supervision, and care just like they would at home. No matter the setting, I treat every pet like my own and keep owners updated so they always know how their pet is doing.

About: I grew up on a farm taking care of all kinds of animals! I took care of cows, horses, pigs, goats, chickens, quails, frogs, dogs, cats, snakes, lizards, hamsters and rats! I have always been a major animal lover and continue to be! I love spending time with my pets and for my friends and families pets too! I currently am remote Purchasing Associate for a national dermatology company. My shifts are usually about 5 hours long, which gives me lots of time to spend with the fur friends. I usually run my dog in the morning and evening, and spend time with her at the park and other places I go to. Sometimes Cardi, Boat and I just like to hang out in the yard and have a cup of coffee! I often take walks and go to the park and many other places. When I pet sit for my friends and family I work with what they have in their home. At my home I also have a long lead so they can safely play in the yard!

FAQs for House Sitting - Wilbourns

Frequently asked questions about Rover

Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.

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 Wilbourns 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 Wilbourns 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 Wilbourns 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
