“Ava and Eve did a great job taking care of the Pups. They were both happy campers and well rested on our return. They also took care of our house and watered plants. We couldn't ask for better sitters, thanks very much.”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have been personally responsible for my own dogs for the past 14 years. I currently have three dogs at home and have experience with everything from small breeds to large dogs. I also have extensive experience caring for dogs with medical and senior-care needs. One of my dogs developed Addison’s disease at a young age and later battled cancer, so I became very comfortable with administering injections and medications, managing chronic health needs, and caring for a dog through chemotherapy, arthritis and mobility changes. As he got older, we adapted his routine so he could still enjoy walks and activities safely and comfortably. I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog with someone else, especially when they have special needs. I’m patient, attentive and happy to follow your dog’s normal routine so they feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away. My schedule gives me plenty of flexibility throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting. I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine whenever possible, whether that means a morning walk, some midday company, or extra love while you’re away. I keep my Rover calendar updated so you’ll always know when I’m available! I know how much trust it takes to leave a member of your family and your home in someone else’s care. I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine, your instructions, and any house rules closely so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I pay close attention to body language and individual needs and will never force an interaction or put your pet in an uncomfortable situation. I’ll treat your home with the same respect I would my own and am always happy to send plenty of photos and updates so you can relax knowing your family member is in good hands.
“Perri was terrific taking care of our dogs, staying at our house, with each of them having their own challenges, not to mention with rainy weather for several of the days. The dogs loved her, and she brought in our mail and newspapers while we were gone. Will definitely use Perri again.”
“Melody was fabulous! She sent us pics and kept us updated on how our pup was doing for the whole stay, and was so kind to help watch him last min when a previous sitter cancelled on us. We will definitely be hiring her again for our next trip!”
“Tyler did a wonderful job in both taking care of our 5 dogs but also in keeping us informed throughout our trip. We are so happy that we have found a trusted person to work with for all of our trips.”
“Emma was a fantastic dog sitter! She was super thoughtful and caring, our dog was in great hands during our weekend away. Communication was a breeze, she always responded promptly and sent daily updates.”
“Alexandria was a phenomenal pet sitter! We felt completely at ease and were able to fully enjoy our trip knowing our animals were in such good hands. She cared for them as if they were her own—attentive, playful, and always keeping our dog company. It’s clear our pets love her and feel comfortable around her. We’ll absolutely hire her again for any future travel!”
“Katie was amazing. She went above and beyond in keeping me informed and loving on my pups! I would choose her again! She’s considerate and kept my place in order. Rover needs more like Katie!”
“Ashley was and is phenomenal! She took such great care of my cat Kitty and my dog Ziggy. She would send pictures and videos during her entire stay at our house, and we were in constant communication. I felt so comfortable having her take care of them! Ashley went above and beyond during her stay, and I am so grateful! She was so kind and accommodating when our original flight was cancelled, and I asked if she could stay an extra night - without her, I don't know what would have happened! Thank you so much, Ashley, we will definitely be rebooking next time!”
“Alex and his wife Cristina were fantastic. Very nice people who from the first moment, you knew they loved animals. We were very apprehensive about leaving our 2 puppy mill mamas that we rescued just 3 months ago for a week but Alex & Cristina made us feel very comfortable. They sent updates every day, including pictures. The girls were looking for them when we got home. They watched the girls in our home and we came home to a house in the same condition we left it in. We have already set up a time to use them again at the end of the month.”
“Ashley was fantastic. She took excellent care of my two shy cats and earned their trust. Daily updates and photos helped me relax and know they were in good hands. I will be booking Ashley again as my kitty nanny!”
About: Through my life I have experienced taking care of family pets, from the puppy stage to crossing the rainbow bridge. I often think I love animals more than people. I am currently working from home part time with flexible hours, so I can play with and cuddle your fur babies as much as they want. I can board, pet sit or just walk your dog weekdays or weekends day or night. I have a fenced in yard with one senior dog. I can crate a dog up to 40lbs. We can go for walks if desired.
“Bennett was fantastic! He was professional, communicative and truly looked after our lil pup. Having him taking care of our pet helped us have a great vacation. We will definitely work with Bennett in the future and he made a forever furry friend!”
“We could not be happier with our decision to book Gabrielle. She stayed with our 10 week old puppy for 2 weeks and was amazing with him. She took him to a vet appointment, gave him medications, and went above and beyond our expectations. She was very communicative and was updating us with pictures and videos. We came home after a long trip to a spotless house. Couldn't recommend her more!”
About: What sets me apart is hands-on experience with big, high, energy breeds and young pets. I grew up around Labs, German Shepherds, and Akitas, so I'm comfortable handling large or strong dogs confidently and safely. Whether it's a rowdy young pup or a full house of large breeds, I know how to keep things calm, safe, and fun. Since I work from home, my schedule is pretty flexible day to day, and even more so on weekends. That means I can genuinely be there for your pet, not just check in quickly. When things get busy or chaotic in your world, I'm glad to take pet care off your plate. My approach adapts to whichever service I'm providing, but the goal is always the same: keep your pet's routine as normal as possible.
“Adriannne was amazing! She went above and beyond to take care of our pets and our home, while we were away for a week on a trip. She followed all of our instructions for care. She was reliable and communicated quickly and frequently with us before and during our trip. We have a cat and three dogs, including a high-energy 110 pound lab, and Adrianne took great care of all of them. Adrianne demonstrated that she has the expertise and experience with how to manage a variety of pets and dog breeds and personalities. We returned to a very clean home and very happy and healthy pets. We will definitely reach out to Adrianne again next time we take a trip.”
About: I live with 3 dogs and 2 cats! One of the dogs is 100% my dog and the other animals are my parents that I help take care of! I give all my pets baths, haircuts, and nail trimmings as well as food, water, cuddles and playtime! I have trained all of my dogs! My dog’s ages are 2, 7 and 16! I spend all my time and effort ensuring my pets are safe and well taken care of and will do the same for your pets! I currently work full-time from 6am-2:30pm. I can be available for any of your pet needs after 3pm and will ensure your pet is the happiest animal in the world while in my care! I can do doggy day care services during the days on weekends or evening doggy care during the week if needed! I will ensure 100000% safety and care for your pet(s)! I own a German Shepherd with hip dysplasia and a high risk of bloat so I understand what it means to put in that extra effort to ensure the pets 100% comfortable and safe!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Wildwood
Eve was wonderful with my dogs. They are a handful with 2 of them being puppies among the 4 of them. She was able to interpret my notes that I left for her perfectly. My dogs loved her and my house was in great shape when I returned! She has extensive experience working with all kinds of animals. She is a great find for anyone who has to leave their 4 legged family at home when they need to be gone. I whole heartedly recommend her!
We used Olivia to dog sit for us over the weekend. Olivia is a natural when it comes to caring for pets. She is a dog owner herself, and that really shows through with how well she cared for Our dog. She did an outstanding job taking care of Otis! She followed his daily routine and She was great with communication, she sent us daily pictures and updates. Otis will be happy to see Olivia again!

FAQs for House Sitting - Wildwood
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Wildwood on Rover is $49.95 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 1,564 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Wildwood. On Rover:
- 97% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
