“Best care Drake has received while I’ve been out of town. Sabrina is an excellent communicator and sent regular updates, and most importantly Drake loved hanging out with her!”
“Rowan did a great job caring for my Boston Terrier and yearling kitty! Both are rescue pets that have been part of the family for 7 months, so they needed reassurance when we were gone. Rowan did everything just right for them.”
“Aaron was wonderful and truly loved spending time with Gracie and Roxie! Aaron sent pictures and updates daily, which was greatly appreciated! He let me know that Roxie took a little bit of time to warm up but then was herself with being a big snuggler, and that Gracie did great on her walks. Last time we had made this trip we had an 8 hour delay, and asked Aaron ahead of time if something like this happened again could he stay, and he said he could. Luckily all went well and we were able to arrive home on time to two very happy and very well cared for pups! Will definitely use Aaron again!!”
“Tristan was just fantastic! He kept us updated with walks and adorable photos, and the house was spotless when we returned. He even went the extra mile by washing the sheets on the guest bed! Our dogs absolutely adored him! We can’t wait to have Tristan look after both of them again!”
“Katlyn is absolutely fantastic. She is kind and thoughtful and made us feel at ease about leaving our pup, Albus, for the first time. She shared pics and updates throughout the evening and it was clear that Albus had a blast with her. I highly recommend her and I hope she will come back to watch Albus again in the future.”
“As always Carla is fantastic! We had a change in schedule and she was very prompt in her response and flexibility to accommodate! This is the third or fourth time we’ve had her watch our fur babies and they love her!”
“Sara was awesome with my kitty Wilson! She sent me lots of pictures and updates throughout her stay. I could tell he was getting so much love! Our apartment was clean upon our arrival home and Wilson was one happy camper. I highly recommend Sara!”
“Elise is absolutely wonderful! She took such great care of Oscar and George while I was away and I never had to worry for a second. She kept me updated throughout my trip with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. It's clear how much she genuinely loves and cares for animals and my boys were so happy and well cared for. Her positive attitude, reliability, and attention to detail make all the difference. Being able to truly relax and enjoy my time away knowing Oscar and George were in such loving hands is priceless.”
“Nicole did a great jobs looking after our babies. We came home to happy healthy dogs and clean house. We will be using her again in the future assuming she is available. She is very popular and now we see why!”
“Mackenzie stayed with my dog overnight in my apartment and everything went great! She was very communicative and responsible and I felt very comfortable with her at our meet-and-greet. During her stay she sent a photo and provided updates, and she followed all the instructions for Osito’s feeding and walk schedule. My apartment was very clean when I returned and exactly how I left it. I will definitely use her services again in the future and recommend her for pet sitting!”
About: I grew up on a farm in Kingstree, SC. I have worked and volunteered in many positions. I have experience with dogs of many breeds, cats, horses, ponies, chickens, pet birds, and cattle. I also will be looking to adopt my own rabbits soon. I volunteered in an animal clinic and I have experience handling animals from shelters. Walking dogs, bathing animals, and grooming pets from guinea pigs to cats to horses has never been a difficult feat for me! I've done some of these things since I was six years old. I'm available to do pet care for three days out of the week at varying times in the afternoon. I'm between jobs and between moves right now so any work is good work! I've been aspiring to become a veterinarian for many years now and as college has come around, it's been really nice to start reaching for those goals more and more! I'm excited to work with other pet lovers. I currently am offering to take animals for walks and do drop ins. I love playing with dogs and grooming cats so you can be sure that your pets will get a lot of attention from me! I'm very thorough when it comes to cleaning and I monitor my actions in other places and towards other people very well. You can rest assured that your home will be just how you left it and your pet will be happier than ever when you return!
“Kaitlyn was absolutely PHENOMENAL! We highly recommend her for in home pet sitting while on vacation. Our pets loved her and she provided regular updates on how everyone was doing. We can't recommend her enough!”
“Jeanette (Donna) took great care of our pup. She regularly checked in with photos. Jeanette (Donna) confirmed start time the day before and verified we were returning as planned. Our pup was in great hands with Jeanette”
About: I've taken care of my dog for 8 years, walking, feeding, and many more activities that we did together. Dogs have always been something I care a lot for and wish to be able to to the same with your dog/dogs. I am currently working part-time and I am working in the morning, getting off of work around 1, therefore I am free in the afternoon to take care of your pet. I am not available on Tuesday afternoon, Friday afternoon, and Saturday, Sunday is a bit hectic but I can possibly make space for emergencies. Drop in, I can provide your pet with food, take them out to use the restroom, clean up after them, clean their bowls, whatever the pet needs for the drop in I could do. The walking service, I can give them and hour to two hour walk, of course clean up after them, I can give them their water when they need it, and of course in this summer heat give a nice cold treat at the end of the walk. I am open to giving the pet the medications it needs, if you as the owner would teach and allow me to do so.
“Jai was terrific! This was my first experience using Rover, and she made it very easy to leave our dogs and cat at home. Super responsible and responsive. Would gladly hire her again.”
“Ryan was very sweet and did great watching Dilla! She kept me up to date with pictures and kept in constant contact with me when Dilla had an upset tummy. She left my house nice and clean. I will absolutely book with Ryan again!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Wildwood is $55

Carla took great care of our three cats (and house, and plants, and the community cat visitor to our yard) while we were away for two weeks. Between them all, our three critters have two different prescription diets, one set of daily medication, and a general love of human company--we felt very comfortable leaving them with a professional cat lover and they were calm, happy, and healthy when we returned!
Liz was fantastic! She sent plenty of photos, checked in regularly, and responded quickly whenever I reached out. My dogs clearly loved her and were happy and well cared for. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!
Katlyn is absolutely fantastic. She is kind and thoughtful and made us feel at ease about leaving our pup, Albus, for the first time. She shared pics and updates throughout the evening and it was clear that Albus had a blast with her. I highly recommend her and I hope she will come back to watch Albus again in the future.
Jai took care of Maggie, our little black lab mix, for a week while my wife and I were out of the country. She came over for a meet and greet a few weeks before and Maggie was instantly calm with her! Jai sent tons of pictures every day which we loved. Our house was in great condition when we returned, and Jai watered our outdoor plants for us. Maggie got her daily walks and plenty of cuddles! Jai is coming back for another shorter stay later this month.
Shiran was over the top wonderful. Kept me in the loop on how the 4 dogs where doing, sent me pics on the daily so I could see them., swept the mopped when whe knew we were coming home, dishes where cleaned that she used, even did a rug clean when the dogs made a mess. Highly highly recommend Shiran for your sitting needs. Thanks you so very much Shiran!!!
Tristan did an amazing job caring for our four pups! It was clear they were happy, relaxed, and well cared for while we were away. He kept us updated with plenty of photos and thoughtful stories about our fur babies, which gave us so much peace of mind and made us feel connected to them the entire time. We returned to a clean home and four very happy dogs. We would gladly trust Tristan with our pups again!
We couldn’t have asked for a better house and pet sitter! Aaron took such great care of our dog and cat while we were away and gave us so much peace of mind. He kept the house exactly how we left it, sent lots of photos and videos, and it was clear our pets were very loved and well cared for while we were gone. Being able to see updates and happy pets made all the difference. We’re so thankful for his help and will absolutely be calling Aaron for all of our future pet-sitting needs!
Kristina took very good care of my doodle in my home. My dog was happy and healthy upon my return. This is the first time I have left my dog, and not come back to a sick dog that had lost weight. I was so impressed with her care, as well as how she left the house spotless. She even did laundry and washed my dog’s morning bowls, which she did not have to do. I highly recommend Kristina for your pet’s needs.

FAQs for House Sitting - Wildwood
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Wildwood on Rover is $42.17 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 1,653 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.

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.
