“Avery took the best care of our furbabies and was a great house sitter! Would definitely hire him again! He is so good with the animals and kept us updated along the way. The animals were happy and content when we got home, it was clear they enjoyed their time with Avery very much!!”
“Hannah did a great job watching my furbaby Toby and watching my home. She kept me updated on his behavior and sent pictures everyday. I will gladly us Hannah again.”
“Maria was absolutely incredible with our two dogs, Finn and Chai! She went above and beyond—giving them tons of love, exercise, attention, and even handling medications with care. We came home to two very happy pups and a tidy space. She kept us updated the whole time and truly treated them like her own. We can’t recommend her enough and are so grateful to have found someone we trust completely!”
“Shannon was great, she came thru in a pinch when two prior pet sitters canceled on me! She was able to squeeze in a meet & greet with such short notice. Was prompt on sitting day. Provided photos and feedback. Will use again.”
About: I love pets! I treat pets like fur babies and like a member of the family! I like to go to the beach, the dog park, and take rides in the car. I am more than willing to send pics and videos of your baby so you can feel comfortable they are being well taken care of:) I am home all day and am looking forward to spending time with your fur baby! I can do regular walks and potty breaks and I have a fully fenced back yard. I have a camera in the home that lets me check in when I am not at home. I have a house alarm and take special care to keep your fur babies safe:)
“Megan is just a pleasure. She is very prompt and respectful and courteous. Our Charlie can be a handful sometimes, but she warmed to Megan almost immediately. We were able to have some nice time away without worrying that Charlie was worrying. We'll definitely be asking Megan back.”
“Tracy was a great dog and house sitter. She kept me updated on a regular basis, and I felt like our pup was in good hands. Really appreciate the peace of mind while we had to be away.”
“We are so happy to have found Celeste. Our dog is older and has separation anxiety pretty bad. Celeste was super patient with our dog especially when she wasn’t eating for days. Celeste took the time to actually spoon feed her in her dog bed that she wouldn’t come out of to eat, and got her to eat her entire meal!! So very grateful for someone like this while we were stressing about being away. She left our house in tip top shape and all ended well. A HUGE thank you to you!! We would definitely call on you again if needed. So very grateful for you!”
About: I have worked as a petsitter both on and off of Rover for over 8 years now, providing loving and safe care for dogs and cats of various ages and sizes. I am currently a law student in the area looking to make some extra cash to pay off student loans. Expect trustworthy and communicative service. Please inquire for further information or if your pet has specific needs that I can address.
“Courtney is great!! She sent so many updates and pictures of Maple which really gave us peace of mind when we were away on vacation. Maple was so happy and content. We would recommend Courtney to anybody needing a dog sitter!”
“Brian has been the best sitter we've found so far. He house sat for us while we were out of town. He was very honest and communicative. We're hoping to book him again for our next trip out of town.”
“Carli took great care of our menagerie while we were away. Our two big dogs were happy and healthy when we got home. By the end of her stay the cats even started to come out for pets, which is no easy feat.”
“Brianne was amazing with our chaotic, nutty furry bunch! We left her with our trio of cats and the dynamic duo of dogs, for a total of five. The first thing we noticed was how all of our furry ones were drawn to her. Animals just know if a person is good. Being away is hard, but it feels better when you have someone you can trust to love you while you're gone. My wife and I had complete peace of mind with her caring for our babies. Brianne is the BEST!”
“Valery is one of the best sitters I have used on this platform. She took care of our two dogs when we were gone and did a great job taking care of one of our dogs who needs extra attention and keeping us updated.”
About: Hi! My name is Sarah, and if you spoke to anyone who's ever known me, the first thing they would probably tell you is that I love animals. I currently have four kitties who I absolutely adore — all of them are rescued. I love all dogs as well and I have a big soft spot for pits and chihuahuas. I also have had fish, ducks, chickens, geese, cows, and guinea pigs! I truly love them all. I can do dog walking and dog/cat/farm/other type of pet drop-ins. I have no breed or size preferences! I am comfortable around all dogs and can handle all sizes well including various demeanors and behavioral challenges or special needs. I would honestly love the chance to get to know your animals and be someone who you trust to care for them when you are away. Please don't hesitate to message me if you are interested! :) I currently work during the daytime but I am able to fill in while you’re gone by letting them outside To go to the bathroom and feeding / caring for them before and after work. I am very aware of my demeanor with new animals to make sure they feel safe and comfortable with me. I want them to trust me and be happy whenever I come by to take care of them.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Wilbur-by-the-Sea
Molly was great watching Monty and our Bunny. It is not any easy task watching the our freeroaming rabbit. She did a great job and Monty seemed really happy. We would ask her back again. She sent us some cute photos and always kept in touch with us by text. Thanks Molly!
We can't say enough positive things about Mary Catherine and Edward. The care our Beagles received was right on point. From daily walks to spending time with, the beagz were in the best of care. We received multiple updates daily with photos to view. I would highly recommend both of them and the services they provide. Thank you so much for taking such great care of Mila and Marley. AKA the Browns Lol.
Maryellen is amazing! Very professional and kind. It’s a little nerve wracking leaving your beloved pets with someone you are unfamiliar with and don’t know. But Mell couldn’t have put us more at ease. She is timely, considerate to all the little nuances of all three of our pups. She showed kindness towards us and was very loving to our pets. She pays attention to detail and goes above and beyond. We are grateful to have found her and look forward to booking care for our pups with her again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Wilbur-by-the-Sea on Rover is $83.25 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 581 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Wilbur-by-the-Sea. 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 Wilbur-by-the-Sea 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 Wilbur-by-the-Sea 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 Wilbur-by-the-Sea 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.

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.
