“JaNiya is a phenomenal housesitter, especially if you have shy animals (but *any* animal would love her!). We have two skittish greyhounds and a very shy adopted cat. Within one day, our cat was sitting in JaNiya’s lap, and our dogs were relaxed and happy. I couldn’t believe it! She has such a calm, tender presence, and you can tell she adores animals. She’s even studying to be a veterinarian! Do not pass her up! She’s the only housesitter we’ll use from now on!”
“Just moved to the area and we were nervouc leaving the dogs for the weekend so soon after moving... But we were put to ease! Communicated very well and my pups loved her! On time, responsive, and reliable. Loved all the updates she sent through the day :)”
“Malinda was great! Kept me updated over the two weeks she watched them. My dogs were super happy and comfortable, including my youngest who can be a nervous with new people.”
“Rachel has done a phenomenal job at taking care of my dog. She was very communicative and went above and beyond. My dog is quite anxious especially around new people, I could tell how comfortable she made him. I highly recommend booking with her!”
“Allie was AMAZING!! We were very careful to find the best for our fur babies and so glad we met Allie. She provided a detailed report at the end of the day and sent so many pics, it was evident she loves animals and takes her work very seriously. Aloe is mature, knowledgeable, reliable, and trustworthy. She left our home in perfect condition and our pets were very happy and well taken care of while we were away. We will be having her stay with them to help us again soon!”
“Chas was an incredible sitter for our antisocial, grumpy older dog. She immediately put us at ease with her calm, confident manner and clearly knew how to effectively interact with and handle dogs. She did bring her dog along, which worried me at first, but he was extremely well trained and after watching her introduce them, I felt confident that she knew how to handle them both. She left the house perfectly clean, followed our instructions, and sent updates on our dog throughout her stay. Overall, we feel very lucky to have found someone we trust with our picky dog and will absolutely use her again in the future!”
“Tanya was very sweet with our dog and took great care of our home while we were away for the 4th. She went above and beyond in keeping her calm during a storm and fireworks. Would highly recommend.”
“Cortney took amazing care of my pack of 3 dogs and a pig. She updated me throughout the weekend and I came home to happy fur babies and a clean house. I highly recommend Cortney.”
“I am very particular when it comes to my puppy baby and this was by far the BEST experience I have had using rover. Shelby sent me updates, pictures, and followed my pups schedule to a tee. I was able to relax and enjoy my trip knowing my pup was well taken care of. Will definitely be using Shelby again.”
“Very pleased with Ryan once again he took stellar care of my Furry Kids! He sent pictures of them letting me know they were comfortable with him! All around great Vibe from Ryan, Ryan checked in with me making sure my travels brought me back on time before he departed! 100% positive will continue using Ryan!”
“Addisen was amazing! She came over prior to the visit to meet my pets and listened to all ramblings of instructions. She communicated and sent pictures everyday I was gone. I was so grateful to find her! Definitely would recommend her to anyone and will be booking again in the future!”
“I requested a last minute stay from Madison and she was able to save the day and watch our house and kitty cat. She sent photo updates of my kitty and was very nice house guest. She made sure to clean our home and asked questions when necessary.”

About: Hello, we are Mark & Natalie! We are an engaged couple that has over 5 years of petsitting experience! Our adventurous nature has taken us on petsits not only across the country, but across the world! We have done over 30 petsits across the UK & Europe, as well as sits in Georgia, North Carolina, Colorado, California, Oregon and of course Tennessee! We pride ourselves in giving expert-level care modeled to each individual pet. Our past sits have praised us for our attention to detail, adherence to instruction, prompt communication and cleanliness! We both work either part-time or remote jobs, so it is very easy to make sure at least one of us is on the house most times. If we have ever planned to be gone for a few hours in previous sits, we would always make sure to leave treats and toys for the pets, according to the pet owners instructions. We have happily accommodated pets in the past and scheduled days around coming back for potty breaks and feeding times. If there is ever a time where we are both out, we always make sure to schedule out time accordingly. We have always taken great care of our clients homes. Our previous reviews have left glowing remarks about our cleanliness. WE strive to leave a petsit as we found it. If we have time, we make the bed we stayed in up, but at the very least we try to get sheets in the washer/dryer. We do a deep clean of kitchens on our way out, arrange the appliances and silverware as we found it and remove all of our stuff. We do the basic sweep, swiffer/mop, clean the bathroom, etc. We always respect the privacy of our client and we do not snoop around in any personal rooms or containers. If there is a need to look for things not easily available, we always ask first. We respect boundaries for appliances, dishes, electronics. If you do not wish for us to use something then we simply won't use it. We have watched over plants and gardens as well. While neither of us is a green-thumb, we follow instructions and routines for your plants to ensure that they stay healthy and alive. We are not party people. We have never used a clients space for a party or to invite guests over without previous discussion and permission granted. We do not drink and do not engage in the smoking of tobacco or recreational drugs.
“Kathryn was very reliable and competent. She followed all of our instructions without any issues. She left the house in a clean state and I couldn’t even tell someone had stayed there. It is really refreshing coming home from a week long vacation seeing your happy and healthy pets and not having to pick up after someone. I hope we get to use her again in the future.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Wildwood on Rover is $59.55 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 449 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Wildwood. 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 Wildwood 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 Wildwood 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 Wildwood 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.

- 97% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
