He managed to somehow feed my poor dogs using sorcery and sheer willpower to scrounge whatever I had left after my dog’s food was stolen from my doorstep. My dogs also adore and trust him so he gets 100/10. Thank you so much, Collin!”

“We were happy to be able to have Mabelyn stay at our home to take care of our dog for the week we were gone. She communicated every day and sent us photos. In addition, she took great care in leaving our home as tidy and clean as when we left. We highly recommend Mabelyn as a house and dog/cat sitter.”
“Antoinette was exceptional! We recently learned that our dog has a heart condition and we were worried to leave him alone for the weekend. Antoinette communicated with us very regularly, giving updates on when he ate, took his medication and what he was up to throughout the day. She genuinely seemed to care about him, even though they had just met. She went above and beyond to make sure we felt comfortable leaving him in her care and she left our home in immaculate condition. I highly recommend Antoinette to anyone looking for pet care; we absolutely would book again.”
“Relle is wonderful! We’ve booked with her before and are never disappointed! She always leaves our pets happy and healthy, the place clean too. She’s so sweet to our babies and we can always tell they love having her! They both adore her! 10/10 would always recommend! Hope to see you again soon, Relle 😊”
“I can’t say enough about Eileen. She is so detailed and is so great with our crazy dogs. She is professional and kind, going above and beyond while making it look effortless. We will have her back as often as we can.”
About: I had the pleasure of taking care of a little Shihtzu named Giselle for nearly 7 years and now have a gray tabby named Chicho for nearly 4 😊 Every moment has been incredibly rewarding. I wanted to extend that same love, care and patience to all other animals in my area! Having experience with dogs and cats of all ages, all personalities and all energies has given me the opportunity to learn the different kinds of care they each require. ***House-Sitting/Overnight requests are JUST me staying overnight in your home to care for your pet (9PM-8AM). My house sitting is not all day 24/7 care, I typically aim to check in on your pet(s) every 3-5 hours or as less/more often as you request.

After then and all day weekends I’m available to care for your little one! I understand the importance of making sure your pets are fulfilled within their limits and I’m happy to maintain their typical routine and even more.
“Ken took such good care of our boy Hamlet. He’s just such a natural around dogs and is funny to boot. Very jovial and attentive with a great sense of humor. He gave us updates for each time he checked in Hamlet on each day with a report on meal time, potty breaks, and play time. Also sent cute pictures! Ken clearly loves dogs and shows that in his care for them. I wouldn’t hesitate to book him again.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Wildcat Forest
Nicole loves cats and you can tell. She gave Mr. Bingley sweet care and attention. She was very good about sending pictures and videos to let me know he was doing well while I was away. There was a stressful situation with the petsitter before her, and Nicole handled it all with grace, professionalism and assurance to me that all was well. That was greatly appreciated. Thanks very much Nicole for taking such good care of Mr. B.
Eileen did an outstanding job while we were away for a week. Our dog was happy and calm, the house was in great shape, and the fish were well cared for. She sent daily updates with plenty of photos. We highly recommend Eileen and will definitely hire her again. Thank you for the excellent care!
By far the best pet sitter I have ever hired! Andiela is extremely professional, clear in communication, and very thorough. She was available on short notice and treated my pets as if they were her own. She didn't just walk and feed them; she spent quality time playing with them and making sure they were happy and comfortable. I came home to a clean house and to very happy and relaxed pets. A+ service!! Andiela cared for my cat and dog and took the time to know both of them and their behaviors well, gaining the ability to bond with both my shy cat and, initially anxious, then energetic dog. I could go on and on about how great she was. Her energy was amazing. I would definitely recommend and rebook her myself in the future! Thanks Andiela.
Another great house sitting for our pets by Nicole. Whenever we leave them with her, we know they will be well taken cared of. She also went the extra mile by shoveling our walkway and driveway during the winter storm. You won’t regret choosing Nicole for your pet sitting needs.
I have to thank Collin for his patience and willingness to watch my furry duo. He managed to somehow feed my poor dogs using sorcery and sheer willpower to scrounge whatever I had left after my dog’s food was stolen from my doorstep. My dogs also adore and trust him so he gets 100/10. Thank you so much, Collin!
We were so happy that Sylvia could come and stay with our dogs for the holiday week while we traveled! She sent regular photo updates with lots of snuggles and play time, which we loved seeing. She also went above and beyond and got them little Christmas gifts and cleaned the sheets before she left. We will definitely be reaching out in the future!

FAQs for House Sitting - Wildcat Forest
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Wildcat Forest on Rover is $53.5 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 11,136 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Wildcat Forest. 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 Wildcat Forest 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 Wildcat Forest 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 Wildcat Forest 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 Wildcat Forest. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
