“Madison is WONDERFUL. She creates a very positive first impression. We left for the weekend feeling 100% confident that our pups were in good hands. She is an excellent communicator and took great care of our three dogs. We returned to happy pups! She went above and beyond by cleaning up, too! We feel very fortunate that Madison is working with Rover. We'll contact her first for our next adventure. Thank you, Madison!”
“Christina did a fantastic job watching Hank and Milo. She followed my instructions to a tee and I came back to a spotless house and very happy pups. I would definitely hire her again.”
“Emily went over and beyond our expectations with our Remington. Updates and pictures throughout the weekend. Remington bonded with Emily very quickly and even slept with Emily! Would use her again for sure. Emily sent us a bonus surprise. A computation of all the pictures she took of our baby. Brought tears to me eyes as my girl is greying and I now have a beautiful video of her. Thank you Emily!!”
“Kirk did an excellent job watching our sweet senior dogs! He sent photos every day and our home looked immaculate when we returned. His professionalism and communication were outstanding. We can’t wait to use him again!”
“Kara was awesome! She took some of the cutest and silly photos while we were out of town. She truly loves dogs and it shows! 10/10 recommend ❤️ thanks for watching him while we were gone!”
“Emily was absolutely wonderful! She stayed in our home with Enzo for 11 nights, and I truly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Leaving Enzo is incredibly hard for us—he’s our baby—and Emily went above and beyond to put our minds at ease. She sent photos and short videos throughout each day, including meals, walks, enrichment, and goodnights, and always kept us informed or asked questions when needed. It was clear from her updates—and their very sweet goodbye when we got home—that Enzo genuinely loved her. She was also incredibly respectful of our home. We left a clean house and came home to one, which was so appreciated after a long trip. Emily is sweet, funny, communicative, responsible, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. I felt like both Enzo and our home were in wonderful hands. 10/10—we would absolutely trust Emily with Enzo again and highly recommend her!”
“Samuel was great with my senior dog for an overnight trip that I had. He paid attention to her special mobility needs, and gave her some medications. He would text me updates and photos. I came home to a well taken care of and happy dog.”
“Diana sent me lots of pictures and updates during her stay with Sammie! She took such great care of my dog and also left the house very clean for when we returned. I will definitely call Diana again to watch Sammie!”
About: I worked with doggies day care for about 2 years in college. Staying at clients houses watching their pets. It was awesome I learned great training skills and was able to walk tons of dogs! I was also a preschool teacher at this time as well and cpr certified. I’m an early riser I’m up around 6:30-7:00 and I take my border collie on her 2 mile walk. Every morning. I’m a master esthetician starting a business right now so any free time I’m at the spa with my own clients. I like late nights as well, but I’m very active so if you need a dog walker or someone to wear your high energy pup out I’m your girl! At my house I have a full fenced yard. However there is 4 large dogs here. A full house no doubt. I’d love to do at home visits or boarding at clients house not my own.
“Brad has watched my pups a few different times and he’s great. He’s incredibly detailed and took great care of my pups and home. If you’re looking for an excellent dog sitter, look no further.”
About: I don’t just provide basic pet care - I take the time to understand each dog as an individual. My background has taught me how to read body language, respect boundaries, and build trust with dogs who may need extra patience or support. I’m comfortable maintaining detailed routines, administering oral medications, supporting senior or recovering pets, and providing the calm, attentive care that helps dogs feel secure. With a lifetime around animals and hands-on animal welfare experience, I bring both compassion and practical knowledge to every visit. Animals are already a meaningful part of my everyday life. I naturally incorporate pet care into my routine through outdoor time, activity, patience, and connection. I enjoy getting outside, staying active, and creating enriching experiences for animals, whether that’s a walk around the neighborhood, playtime, mental stimulation, or simply providing companionship. My goal is to make your pet feel like their normal routine continues - even when you’re away. I believe pets are most comfortable when they can stay in the environment they know and love. For in-home care, my priority is maintaining your pet’s normal routine while providing a safe, calm, and trustworthy presence in their space. I treat every home and animal with the same respect and care I would want for my own - following your instructions closely, respecting your home, and paying attention to the small details that help your pet feel secure.
“Anna did a great job with daily check ins and photos. Despite being out of cell service during her stay she continued to update me so when I did get service I was able to see what happened. The house was left clean and tidy and the pets were happy!”
“Naomi took excellent care of both our dog—a senior pup who needs daily medications—and our house. She kept Atticus happy and safe, and she kept us updated on how he was doing. Naomi was a pleasure to work with throughout the booking and sitting process, and she's top of our list next time we need help with Atticus.”
“Annie watched our 2 dogs and cat over Thanksgiving and did a great job. One dog and the cat are elderly, but she didn’t have any problems with the med schedule or carrying the arthritic dog up the stairs. She was also happy to take the energetic young dog on plenty of walks. We’ll definitely want to use Annie again!”
“Jayson & Alexa were fantastic! They did an amazing job house sitting and taking care of our two labs and one cat. They spent quality time with the dogs and cat. Our aloof cat even warmed up to them within a few days! Our labs loved them too. Jayson’s communication was on point. I heard from him every day and got photos and videos of our happy pets. I highly recommend them and would hire them again anytime.”
“Anna and Stephen are amazing! They took such great care of my dogs, cats, and house. They sent me updates and pictures, and were extremely communicative, responsible, and respectful. I HIGHLY recommend them to anyone looking for housesitters who will take incredible care of of your fur babies!!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Wildwood
Razan was absolutely amazing with our girl Harley and I can’t say enough wonderful things about her. We had never left our dog with a sitter before - we always had roommates who would watch her- and I was kind of nervous but Razan was so communicative and sent so many pictures and videos while we were gone. I could tell when we did the meet and greet that she is an animal lover which also eased my mind. We would have her watch Harley again in a heartbeat and are so thankful for her.
I am just so grateful to have found Kaitlyn. She is absolutely amazing and took the best care of my pup. She is incredibly responsible and really went above and beyond to ensure my pup was eating and happy, took excellent care of my place, and was so communicative which gave me such peace of mind while traveling.
Sarah was an absolute dream to work with — highly communicative during the entire process, which made figuring things out easy. She came over to meet our dog before we left and was so sweet and pleasant and competent. While we were gone, she sent pictures every day and followed up with details about how he was doing. She paid attention to details and I could tell our dog was so well-cared for. Had the best experience with Sarah! Will absolutely be booking with her again!
Seth was amazing to work with! He went out of his way to meet our dogs before we had to leave and took time for them to get comfortable with him. He was very interactive and communicative while we were away, and knowing they were being well taken care was a relief! We will definitely reach out to him again!
We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! He took care of our 4-month-old puppy for two weeks, and anyone who has had a puppy that age knows they can be A LOT of work! 😅 He was incredibly attentive, patient, and caring with her, and went above and beyond just watching her. He actually helped reinforce training and worked with her on good behaviors, which we really appreciated. It was so reassuring knowing she was in such capable hands while we were away. He kept us updated, took great care of her, and clearly put a lot of time and effort into making sure she was happy, safe, and well cared for. We came home to a happy puppy who had clearly been loved and well looked after. We would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely great with dogs. We’ll definitely be booking with him again!
Once again, Rachel did amazing caring for our 2 high energy dogs while we were away for the long weekend. She did excellent making sure our dog with a chronic illness was taken care of and supplied endless frisbee time for our other. I highly recommend Rachel!!
Kelly is an outstanding petsitter and homesitter: My wife and I get frequent updates and pictures letting us that our dogs and cats are doing well, which is a huge relief while we’re out of town! She also takes care of our house and leaves it clean for our arrival. Unquestionably Kelly is the best sitter we have had in the many years we have had pets!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Wildwood is $65 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $39 and $98 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.

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

- 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.
