“Took great care of my fur baby while we were away! Thank you so much for all the help! Would highly recommend and will absolutely rebook in the future when the need arises. Thank you!”
About: I have two dogs of my own. One is a puppy and one is an older dog so I understand all needs for every age range. Have been pet sitting for a couple years in my community I am currently working part time and will be able to give your pets the time and attention they need. My schedule is very flexible. Your pets safety and comfort is my priority. I am willing to walk your pets and stay to their schedule. I can also keep you updated with photos of your pets while away for your peace of mind.
“Mike was absolutely wonderful. He watched our pups in our home and I felt safe and stress free. My dogs were in such great care. They loved him... maybe a little too much! I would definitely book with him again.”
“Corrine did a great job watching over our two pups and the house for 9 days. She communicated with us regularly on how things were going and answered any questions we had while travelling. Pups were happy when we got home and she treated our home like her own. Will be reaching out the next time we need a pup sitter.”
“Megan was absolutely fantastic while staying in my home caring for Bennie. She went above and beyond to ensure Bennie was comfortable and happy. Great communication with me and overall an extremely kind and restful person towards my home, my baby 🐶 and myself. I can’t say enough great things about Megan!”
About: I have tons of experience with larger and smaller dogs! My parents have a 6 year old black lab that I watch regularly when they go out of town, and I watch my friend’s shorkie regularly as well! I would love to get to know your furry best friends! I am currently working part-time, so I have more time on my hands to spend with your cute pets! I am happy to work my schedule with yours to find the best arrangement! I am willing to follow any routine necessary to keep your animals comfortable! Whether that’s special food requirements or just a cuddle before they go to bed!
“Teresa was fantastic with all the pets. She had great communication throughout her stay to make us feel secure being away for almost a full week. All of the pets were well taken care of and we returned home to neat and tidy home. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for services and I would rebook with her anytime our pets needed someone to watch and take care of them.”
About: I have owned and cared for dogs most of my lifetime. I'm responsible, loving and believe pets can bring joy to your everyday busy life.They become part of your family. I am a retired teacher and mom of twin teenage boys. I have plenty of time during the day to care for my furry friends. My current home does not have enough space for me to care for pets in my space, but I have np problem coming to yours.
“Buddy and Gracie were happy to see us. Our plane was delayed, so we reached home at 6:30. The house was good and so were Buddy and Gracie. The girls did a fine job and everything was in order. Except for the wifi problem everything was perfect. I did not receive any daily up-dates because of the wifi problem. I communicated with the girls by phone. Thak you so much for keeping our kids safe while we were away!”
“Casie took care of my pup Tank while I went on a little weekend vacation. Tank absolutely loved her, he gave her 5 stars too! She did an amazing job looking after him while we were gone. She sent tons of pictures with updates & left our place as it was before. We really appreciate all she did, thank you again Casie!”
About: First, I have had cats in my home my whole life. I have had dogs in my home early in childhood. I watched the dogs of my friends and family throughout all of childhood and early into adult hood. Currently I just have one orange kitty and volunteer actively in my community! I am happy to hold down the fort while you are out of town to keep your furry family fed, watered and well loved (including lots of brushing if your animal enjoys that!!) ! I've never had a problem with any pet! Even the quote unquote "mean dogs"! I'll treat your home with the upmost care and respect, and do offer cleaning services as well! Heading out for an emergency? Holidays? Need your bathroom "terminally cleaned"? Dishes taken care of after you leave me with the care of your pet and trust of your home? I can make sure the day of your return that your Shower, tub, sink, toilet etc are cleaned to hospital grade standards! All dishes cleaned, vents dusted, ceiling fan blades wiped (I'm tall lol!) Your dog and or cats will be given round the clock care and attention you expect as if I was treating it like my own animal. Pay or no pay!! While currently I am only offering house sitting services, you can expect dogs to be taken out as frequently as needed. Walked, fed on time and cuddled. Poop removed from yard, etc. It's not a house cleaning service, but aside from sitting for your loved one, I will also be a guest in your home and will make sure it's tidy and kept tidy! Cats litter boxes will be checked multiple times daily, fed on time, and water kept fresh. Safety trust and environment.. I have a clean background, clearances, and volunteer for nonprofits of all kinds in my community! I am a good community member and your home and loved furry family member will always be safe and well cared for under my care!
“Had previously used Kaitlyn for a drop in for 3 little dogs who have pea sized bladders and require walks every 3 hours. They also don't always agree on routing which is to say they are not necessarily easy to walk. This time, she stayed at our home for 4 days. All went perfectly. Kaitlyn is meticulous about following directions give and is genuinely concerned about providing the same level of care that pups get from their owners. We give Kaitlyn 12 paws up and plan to use her often.”
“Lisa was so kind to take on last-minute requests due to the death of my father and our unplanned travel. It was a relief to not have to worry about the dogs while out of town to attend to this family emergency.”
“Teagan did a fantastic job caring for our 2 dogs while we were away. She sent lots of updates and made us feel very comfortable. She is a true animal lover and we came back to calm and content dogs.”
“Joey and Angie were very kind and easy to work with. Joey was respectful of my home, brought in packages and mail, and kept me updated on the dogs while I was away. Communication was good throughout the stay, and it was clear that Joey cared about the dogs’ well-being. Overall, I appreciated the help and care provided during my trip.”
About: I am a true animal lover! Growing up with both Boston Terriers and Boxers, I learned to adapt to the needs of the individual animals around me. My beloved Boston Terrier, Dorothy, was with me from puppyhood until she crossed the Rainbow Bridge at the age of 16 in 2025. My current animal squad consists of two senior kitties and two large but loving rescue dogs! I understand all animals need a little something different, and they all deserve respect and patience! My goal is to make your pets as comfortable and happy as possible. I’m a mom to a toddler and am looking for a flexible way to earn some extra income while doing something I love. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine, and I’m able to plan visits around my family’s schedule. I’m dependable, communicative, and genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet and their individual routine. Pets will be cared for with the utmost respect and compassion! These furry guys and gals are your family. They will receive the attention they want and deserve. All interactions will be based upon YOUR direction - what to feed, when to feed, where they sleep, etc. You may be at work or out of town, but they are still your baby and I will keep them in their routine.
About: I have been working in animal care for the last 10 years between animal shelters and boarding facilities. I can provide references. I love animals of all shapes and sizes, I have experience working with dogs and cats of all temperaments and also have knowledge in administering medications and insulin if needed. I am currently open. I can provide walks, drop ins, baths, nails, transport to and from daycare, whatever is needed! My routine is pretty set once I have a good schedule going! I can follow any instructions left by the client. I am very committed to making sure your pet stays happy and healthy in the time they spend with me.
About: What sets me apart is how much I genuinely care about making pets feel comfortable and loved while their owners are away. I grew up with dogs and have two Labradoodles back home with my mom, so I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. I’m very attentive to each pet’s personality and routine—whether they’re super playful, a little shy, or a total Velcro pet who wants to be by my side 24/7. I’m also big on communication, so you can expect plenty of pictures and updates while you’re away. My goal is for you to feel completely at ease knowing your pet is getting lots of attention, affection, and care! I work full-time in downtown Pittsburgh during the weekdays, with the flexibility to work remotely at least one day per week and occasionally additional days as needed. I have plenty of availability throughout the week for pet sitting, including early mornings, evenings, and overnight stays, with generally full availability on weekends! I’m always happy to coordinate around your pet’s normal routine to make sure they receive plenty of attention, care, and companionship! I want your pet to feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away, so I’ll follow their normal routine as closely as I can! I’m happy to stick to specific feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, medications, or any other instructions you leave for me. I’ll give them plenty of attention and affection while also respecting their personality and space. I’m very respectful of clients’ homes and will always leave things just as I found them. And of course, you can expect lots of pictures and updates so you know your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for!
“Courtney was great! She is super friendly, communicative, and really went above and beyond. She sent us photos, brought in our packages and trash can without even being asked, and was so sweet with our two cats. They took to her right away at the first meeting! We definitely recommend Courtney and will absolutely use her again for future trips!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Wildwood
We are so appreciative of James! We highly recommend him. We requested him at a time we needed someone to care for our little young puppy and James connected with our pup immediately, and keep us updated! We were very pleased with him and would 100% book with him again!
Corinne is awesome!!! Couldn’t say enough good things about her . She is wonderful with my Bella and would be great with your fur baby as well. She is very responsible, attentive to your needs in your pet needs, as well and she communicates greatly. As a Rover employee as well I highly recommend her. She makes going away easy and you don’t have to worry that your pet is being well taken care of and loved. Thank you so much for watching Bella, I know she had a great time with you and looks forward to the next time she will see you.
Ava was so great and took such good care of our pup! She was very communicative, shared pictures and kept us updated. We felt comfortable with Ava staying in our home, and that our pup would be well looked after. We'll definitely look to Ava for future stays and sitting! Thank you Ava!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Wildwood is $43 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $48 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 1,400 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Wildwood. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
