“Raeann was great! She took great care of my two cats while I was away for a long weekend. Sent pics and updates, gave one of my boys his injectable medication each day, and gave them some extra loving on top of it too! Even vacuumed before I got home! It was wonderful peace of mind knowing they were well taken care of and would definitely book again!”
About: I’ve had both cats and dogs since I was 5, so caring for pets has always been a big part of my life. I’m comfortable with their daily care, routines, and different personalities. I also understand pet body language and know how important it is to recognize when a pet is happy, nervous, uncomfortable or just needs some space. I’m patient, attentive and will treat your pets with the same love and care I give my own. I currently work full time, so my availability is more limited during my regular work schedule. However, my workplace will be temporarily closing for about a month in October, which will give me much more flexibility and availability to care for pets during that time. I’m happy to work with owners to find times that fit both of our schedules. I plan to care for pets in their own homes, where they can stay comfortable and in their familiar environment. I’ll follow their normal routines, including feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and any other care instructions provided by their owner. I’ll also give them plenty of attention, patience, and affection while make sure they feel safe and comfortable.
“Violet was a super prompt communicator and had no issues taking over on caring for our cat, Miso. She even traversed rough storm weather to check on her when we were out of the country. Would def book again!”

We stay in a gated apartment complex and have multiple neighborhoods and a dog park around for a variety of walking paths and adventures! We have a bengal cat who loves outside so we walk her almost every day, she is great with the dogs and children.

About: Lifelong pet caregiver with extensive experience in rescue, rehabilitation, and behavior management. Raised on a farm in upstate New York, I developed a deep understanding of animal care from an early age. I later helped run a Pit Bull rescue and rehab facility, where I gained specialized experience training and handling high-needs or difficult dogs, including those recovering from abusive situations. I bring this deep patience, calm confidence, and expert care to every pet and home I watch. As a widow and empty nester, my schedule is beautifully unhurried and entirely open to focusing on your home and pets. Without the demands of a chaotic household, I offer a level of calm, undivided attention that is hard to find. My mornings and evenings are dedicated completely to your pets' routines—whether that means peaceful early walks, timely feedings, or plenty of evening couch cuddles. I have the flexibility to spend major blocks of the day present in your home, providing consistent companionship while respecting your space. Pet sitting blends perfectly into my life because I genuinely value the bond and comfort of animal companionship, giving you total peace of mind that your home is secure and your fur babies are loved like family. I provide premium, attentive care exclusively within your home, ensuring your pets remain in the comfort of their familiar surroundings while your property stays completely protected. My approach to animal care is rooted in a lifetime of hands-on experience, from growing up on an upstate New York farm to co-running a Pit Bull rescue and rehab. Because of this background, I know how to establish calm leadership, read subtle animal body language, and confidently handle anxious or difficult dogs.Beyond specialized pet care, I bring an exceptional level of safety to your property. As a former security guard, I am naturally observant, detail-oriented, and highly trained in securing a home. I know exactly how to maintain situational awareness, double-check entry points, and keep your property locked down and secure. Combined with my flexible schedule as a widow and empty nester, I am able to provide consistent, unhurried companionship for your pets and unparalleled vigilance for your home, giving you absolute peace of mind while you are away.

I have two rescue dogs of my own and i train, bathe, feed, walk, play with, and cuddle them. I also keep freshwater fish and houseplants. I care for my dogs by walking them about 7 times a day, breakfast and dinner on a schedule, and playtime and cuddles are prioritized when i am home from work. I live in a pet friendly apartment complex with an enclosed dog park. I have two friendly female spayed dogs that are five and nine years old. I keep treats on me to encourage and reward good behavior.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Wilbourns
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 557 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Wilbourns. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.

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.
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.
