About: I’m a huge pet lover since I was a couple years old bringing stray animals home! I have 3 pups that are my world! I promise I will treat your pets as if they were mine. I have 5 years of experience as a vet tech so you can rest assured your babies are in good hands as I’ve had training in all kinds of medical situations with all ages of cats, dogs, birds, and most reptiles! I left my job as a vet tech to stay home with my baby the past year and I’m so grateful for that. Now that he’s getting older I am excited to get back into pet care. You can be at ease knowing your pets are in good hands and safe with me. I am a stay at home mom to a one year old so my schedule is very open. Whatever your needs I have the flexibility to make it work. I will pay very close attention to all your instructions and tips to best take care of your pets. I also have a great background in caring for animals so I know what to be cautious of.
“Julie was excellent! Our girl Moxie suffers from separation anxiety and Julie knew how to support her while we were gone. In addition, our house was so clean you wouldn’t have known anyone else had been there. Thank you, Julie!”

“Isis was so sweet and our dogs seemed to really like her! She stayed in our home and took good care of it along with our babies! I absolutely recommend her for anyone looking for a sitter. She kept us updated with their feedings and pictures throughout the day. It made my Fur Baby Mama heart happy! 💙🐾💙”

About: I have taken care of animals since i was a child! I personally had 4+ dogs/cats at a time growing up since I was 5 years old and even now! As a stay-at-home mom, I’m home the majority of the day and night, which allows me to give consistent attention and supervision. I only step out briefly for school drop-off/pick-up or short errands, typically no more than a few hours total. Your dog will not be left alone for long stretches and will be treated like part of our daily routine, with regular potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of interaction throughout the day. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. We live on 2 fully fenced acres, providing plenty of secure space to run and explore while always supervised. When indoors, pets are part of our family environment — relaxing, playing, or cuddling in a calm and clean home. I carefully follow each dog’s routine, feeding schedule, and any special instructions to ensure they feel safe and at ease. My goal is to create a structured but loving environment where your pup feels right at home.
About: I’ve had dogs all my life different sizes and breeds. I have experience in training puppies as well as taking care of elderly dogs. I take time to understand each dog’s personality, routine, and needs, so they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I wanted to spend the extra time I have taking care of animals. I’m working only a few days a week I consistently have Monday- Thursday available typically all day. I currently have no pets of my own. If your fur baby comes to my home I have a fenced in yard, extra dog treats and toys as well as a dog bed that gets washed after every furbaby that visits. I will stick to any routine that you have for your dog *Please Note*I do not have a crate and one will need to be provided if pet is crate trained*. *Please Note* If you have a cat their litter box as well as litter will need to be provided if needed.* If I am taking care of your furbaby in your home I will follow the schedule you have them on.
About: ...this is the true religion-Buddha. My heart is whats different about me I lost my love of my life dog form miss Miah Soleil & tho no dogs can fill that space I miss them in my life. I have two gorgeous cats Endora & Dave so I do get my fill of kitty love thankfully. What i can offer you. I know you want them to be loved like if you were home. They will be. I will respect your home. I will listen to your needs of your animal. They will be paid attention to & played with. If you care enough to hire a sitter i know the importance of that soul in your life & Ill treat it accordingly. You have my word. Im involved in the arts so I have an open schedule. I'm mostly a homebody if not being creative or caring for your beautiful animals. The most important thing to do is follow directions, respect the home and animal, & also take time to make the pet comfortable with you & in their space.

“Anjil was amazing to work with! She was dependable and always communicated how our dog was doing. She was so sweet and also kept our house in perfect condition. I can’t recommend her enough!”

About: I grew up in a family of animal lovers with pets of all kinds over the years. My mother and 2 of my sisters currently are all groomers, professional show handlers, trainers and used to be vet techs. I’ve always been the family member who rescued strays and taught their show dogs fun tricks! My love and passion for animals runs deep! I’m comfortable with most things pet related. I’ll walk them, run them, and play them. I have experience bathing, trimming nails, leash breaking, training, boarding, and more. I’ve rescued dogs for most of my life and always assisted at the shows. I believe in forming bonds with our pets while also setting boundaries. Building trust and finding a mutual respect and appreciation with sets a foundation that leads to these amazing bonds we create with our pets. I can’t begin to count the number of dogs I’ve taken in over the years for all sorts of reasons but always to give them a better life. I helped my mom open her own grooming business and I worked there for a few years. Very early on, the need for boarding became apparent so I began offering and boarded quite a few clients pets over a long period of time. I then helped a friend of mine open her facility where they train police dogs, dock diving, barn hunt, lure coursing, and confirmation and they make their own dog food. I ended up moving to North Carolina where one of my sisters had two Down Syndrome babies. There was an opportunity to help my sister and get to know two wonderful tiny humans who bring so much love into our lives. My sister is in the military and the only sister I have who doesn't work with pets professionally. My Staffy bull, Ryker, immediately became best friends with my nephew, Talon. People were constantly in awe of their relationship. It made me proud. While in NC, I began boarding again but on an unofficial level (not through a company.) It turns out a TON of military people constantly needed affordable and trustworthy boarding and when you connect on a personal level, my sister, the trust is easier to come by. I was home with the kids anyway and had a one acre fenced in yard. How could I not board?! The kids are a bit older now so I relocated to Summerville, SC and I’d love to get more involved with animals down here. I’m currently in an apartment (getting a house when lease is up, but the apartment was an easier and more affordable transition.) It’s a gated community and pet friendly with a few breed restrictions but no size restrictions. There’s a fenced in dog park area and and plenty of walking available and I have a fully fenced patio. I’m willing to pet sit at your place or welcome your pet into mine, knowing that it’s an apartment and not a house and we have a “yard” but we share it with other dogs. I’m willing to board any length of time as long as details are clear up front. I also do dog walking every day of the week and very few time restrictions. I’ve trained many dogs over the years and I’m more than willing to work with your pet, however, I am not credentialed, I can only speak from life experience and my own pets. I’m also willing to care for cats whether in your home or mine. My pets are very cat friendly. My place is clean and you are welcome to visit before making any decisions. I have references upon request for anything I’ve mentioned above. My experience with dogs is in all ages, from birth and all the way to final stages. My dream is to open an animal rescue of some sort someday. When I think of a fulfilling life, that’s where I go every single time. I hope to soon meet your extended family members! More than pets, they are pure joy. “Surrounded by paws, filled with love, and always in good company.” - hopefully I’ll soon be able to call this my business slogan one day ✌️ I have an open schedule to care for pets. I currently have a part time work from home job. I go for a walk and to play at 5:15 every morning, a routine we got into when my schedule was more limited. The bulk of my career was in EMS. I’ve retired from that line of work and want to follow my passion of working with animals so that is what my current focus is which is why I have open availability. IMPORTANT: If you are requesting house sitting, I most likely will need to bring my dog, Wesley, with me :) I am very comfortable with most pets and most things pet related. Besides the obvious cat and dog, I’ve house sat for people with a sugar glider, lizards, tortoises, horses, even a snake breeder! I’m comfortable given medication, feeding, walking, cleaning litter boxes and cages. I don’t want to list everything I can do to assure your pet is cared for because there is just so much! But if you have any questions, concerns, or special requests, just reach out, I’m sure something can be worked out.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 1,139 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Wilder. 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 Wilder 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 Wilder 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 Wilder 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 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.
