“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 recently moved to Florida and would love to provide care to the community in my area! I have 6 years of dog care experience, 3 of which have been in a professional capacity at a boarding and rescue facility. I have plenty of experience conducting one on one as well as group play so if you have more than one pet in the home it's no problem! I am the most passionate about providing care for dogs with varing levels of reactivity, who may not have the opportunity to thrive in traditional daycare/boarding environments. But I love ALL temperaments and would love to provide safe and fun care for your best friend(s)! I also have a lot of experience caring for elderly and disabled animals ❤️ I do work a typical job, but I am lucky to have quite a bit of flexibility. So I am able to work with you to provide the care you need! I follow instructions to the T and try to keep their routine as close to normal as possible. I have behavioral and body language training that plays a key part in my care. I am big on enrichment! Which includes; playtime, walks (with lots of sniffing), puzzles for pups that are interested, licky mats and frozen kong. Thing to keep their brain engaged! As long as it is approved by pet parents, I use diet appropriate treats along with positive reinforcement to build trust and can easily adapt and continue with any training plans you may have.
“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.”
“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.”
“Valery was amazing! She sent us so many fun pictures of the pets and handled all Coops medications and needs with extra care. Nubz, our cat seemed smitten with her, as she happily napped on top of Valery. lol Before leaving she even took Coop for his favorite walk! I highly recommend her if you need someone to go above and beyond for your pets!”
About: My family has had dogs and cats my entire life. Not only have I cared for our puppies, but I have also lovingly cared for our senior animals. One of the most poignant experiences of my life was taking care of my senior dog, Fredo, a pug who suffered from a rare disease. Left undiagnosed for many months, his outcome was grim, but even as a young kid I doted on him, carrying him around, and assisting him to go outside and go potty. My family now has an 11 year old Doberman, Clemenza, a 4 year old Lhasa Poo, Luca, and an 11 year old cat, Santino. As you can tell, my parents love the Godfather! We moved here from Nebraska in June, 2022. Prior to moving here, I took care of my neighbor’s two black labs, a pit bull, and their various reptiles. Since moving to Florida, I have had part time job at a local ice cream store, which I will continue working at while taking care of your pets. I am happy to do what is best for your pet in your own home. I love walking dogs, letting them out, and can also check on cats. I am confident when it comes to feeding animals, providing medications, and anything else your fur babies need.
“Sara was amazing with our fur baby! Our pup required some extra attention because of his current medical conditions and Sara was great with him. He was well taken care in our home while we were away. She was great with keeping us updated each day with photos and texts. We will be using Sara for our future sitting needs!”
“Isabella was very attentive to all of our animals, had great communication during her stay and treated our house as if it were her own. Would highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional pet care.”
“Avery is AMAZING - he took such great care of our house and pups. Avery is patient, communicative, and allowed us to truly enjoy our vacation knowing everything was taken care of back home. We highly recommend Avery!!! Thank you 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:)
About: I’ve been around pets my whole life, especially dogs. Some as small as my mom‘s Chihuahua, to dogs as big as my sister‘s great mastiffs. Ive cared for all types of pets and would love to meet many more! Recently I’ve started working part time but I’m open to work around that! I try to be as flexible as I can. If you’d like me to drop in to feed, walk, or watch your pet, I’ll be available. Whatever type of routine your pets have I’m down to follow it. Lots of pets I’ve worked with have specific eating routines, as well as walking routines, I’m here to learn what works best for you.
About: I have been a pet parent for over 16 years, but my husband has decades longer of experience. We have cared for puppies and older dogs, as well as administered medicines to our dogs and cats when needed. We have 1 pup and 1 cat, both of who are friendly. We would like to welcome your pet into our home where they will have access to everything within your limits (if any), plenty of walks and cuddles, or we can provide care in your pet(s) home. Bill and I both work Monday - Friday and will be home evenings and weekends if we have a pet to care for. During the week our pup Sadie is usually alone for up to 8 hours during the day but if you prefer your pup can go to work with Bill, where they would be dropped off at his office and he would come back between his stops to take care of them. Please provide any restrictions upon a booking confirmation. We will feed your dog as instructed and then provide plenty of walks and cuddles. We keep an eye on our critters when at home, because they are usually following us as we do our at home chores or relax.
About: I have had dogs all my life! I also have a lot of experience dog sitting for family and friends in my area. I make sure to take the best care of them all! I am currently working part-time, so I will have plenty of time to care for your furry friends! I prioritize pet care in my daily life and I will give them my full attention. I can easily crate your dog if needed! I will follow any instructions from the client based on how they would like me to care for their pets.
“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.”
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.

“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’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I currently work from home. There will be 24 hour supervision. I’m available for boarding during the weekdays and weekends. We have 2 Dalmatians and small child at home with us. I currently do not have a fenced yard but I walk and exercise the dogs daily. The dogs can stay inside or can go outside at anytime. I throw the ball for everyone a couple times a day to keep them active and happy. ( I have a zip line that goes the length of yard)

FAQs for House Sitting - Wilbur-by-the-Sea
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Wilbur-by-the-Sea on Rover is $66.63 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 605 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.
