“Cheryl was absolutely wonderful with Chance. She took such great care of him, kept us at ease, and clearly loves what she does. We came home to a happy pup and couldn’t be more grateful. Highly recommend!”
“Keira was great with our old pup Toby while we were out of town. She was knowledgeable about care and Toby was in great hands. She gave updates and photos throughout the stay.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for 13 years and have 2 dogs of my own. I’ve rescued stray dogs off the street before and put them in a safe environment. I was once very active in helping animal shelter. A close friend of mine is a Veterinarian and had asked me to dog sit for her when she traveled, it was a pleasure to handle 5 dogs at a time at her house. I enjoy taking walks in nature with dogs. I can also take care of chickens, horse, rabbits, hamsters, and fish when you are away. I have plenty of time to play with your dog and take them on walks. My schedule is open daily and weekly routine as well once established. I love to give dog treats and play ball with them. Taking them on long walks. I can also give them a lot of petting for attention. I will take pictures for updates on their activity.
“Bronte was everything we needed in a pet-sitter! She was lovely and personable, and immediately put us at ease when we needed a sitter for our elderly terrier rescue who has recently lost her eyesight. Bronte really has a "sixth sense" when it comes to caring for special needs dogs. We are grateful for her help and gladly give her this 5-star recommendation!”
“If you’re looking for a great pet/house sitter, Riley is your person. Riley took great care of my pup and fish, checked in daily with me, sent photos and provided daily walks each day. At the end of the stay, Riley summarized Toby’s week, including highlights and household things she did on a sheet of paper. Riley is very reliable and I’ll definitely book her again in the future.”
About: I’ve spent the past year caring for dogs and cats like my own. Lots of walks, cuddles, and playtime! I’m super patient and always take time to get to know each pet’s unique personality. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine as a full-time sitter. My flexible availability allows me to dedicate plenty of time to walks, feeding, playtime, companionship, and maintaining your pet’s normal schedule. I’m able to be attentive and give the quality care they deserve. Whether I’m caring for pets in your home or mine, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow their normal routine for feeding, walks, and playtime, and always give them the attention they need.
“We couldn’t be more thrilled with Ryan! Thank you again for watching our boys. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a dependable and loving person to watch over your pups!”
“Haile was absolutely amazing from start to finish! I was a little nervous leaving my babies — a 4lb chorkie and a cat with someone new for 5 full days but she put my mind at ease completely. She was reliable, trustworthy, and professional in every way. I came home to a clean house exactly the way I left it which says everything about her character and respect for other people's space. Most importantly my animals loved her and that's the ultimate seal of approval. You can't fake that. 🐾 Haile will be my go-to pet sitter from here on out and I would recommend her without hesitation to anyone who wants their babies in good hands while they're away. If you're looking for someone you can trust completely - she's your person!”
“Jason is an excellent rover! He has watched our dogs and house sat for us multiple times now. Our dogs love him and he takes awesome care of our two German shepherd dogs!”
“My gang always loves having Evan because he spoils them, LOL! We get great photos and video throughout the stays. The house looks great when we return. I'll definitely book again!”
“Shania watched Gizmo for a few days and made sure all of his needs were met and sent me pics of a healthy, happy pup!! She also left my home immaculate. Would absolutely book in the future!”
“I had the pleasure of working with Robyn as my dog walker/dog sitter. From day one, it was clear that Robyn had a genuine love and passion for dogs. Her professionalism and reliability were outstanding. I always knew I could count on her to be on time and take great care of my furry friend. Not only did she ensure my dog got plenty of exercise and fresh air, but she also provided the companionship and attention that my babies need. She made sure to always send daily updates and pictures! What sets Robyn apart is her deep understanding of canine behavior. She knew just how to handle my dog’s personality and needs, making every walk a positive experience. She made sure to ask me about training and what she can do to follow our usual routine as closely as possible. My dogs absolutely adored Robyn and were always excited to see her. Safety was a top priority for Robyn as well. I appreciated the thoroughness in making sure my dog was secure during walks, especially when crossing streets or encountering other dogs. Her attention to detail gave me peace of mind. I can’t recommend Robyn highly enough. She provided exceptional care, trustworthiness, and genuine affection for my pet. If you want a dog walker who goes above and beyond, Robyn is the one to choose. My pups and I are truly grateful for her wonderful service and will be recommending her to family and friends.”
About: I have a good bit of references from coworkers and colleagues who I have pet sit for over the years. I book up quickly because people trust me in their home. They are confident that I will take excellent care of their animals as well as their home. I range from chickens, to lizards, to dogs and cats! I’m always up for a challenge. Also, if you need litter box assistance due to pregnancy, I would be glad to assist!! I love all animals and find this to be very therapeutic side work. I do drop ins, dog walking, or even come stay overnight in your home. I have been doing this for at least 15 years. I look forward to helping you soon!! Thanks!! Alex I work 5 days a week currently, 8 hours a day (sometimes less if the work flow allows, but also sometimes I end up working over). I don’t work weekends or holidays. My hours are typically 7am-3pm. I take excellent care of your animals as if they were my own. I send picture updates often. I collect mail, clean up after myself as well as the pet(s). Typically the need is for me to go to someone else’s house for pet sitting overnight. This is ideal as the animal is most comfortable in their home. If the pet doesn’t mind, I have a super friendly 10lb doggy who loves making new friends.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Wildwoods
Kaye was incredible. She stayed at our place over the Christmas holiday while we were out of the country, and watched over our dog & my mom’s dog as she was also traveling with us. This was an unusual situation because the dogs do not ordinarily live together - Kaye was magnificent at both navigating the little tensions that arose between them, and at keeping us posted about the every-day goings on and how she was handling it. We got updates routinely, and she really went above and beyond in terms of taking care of the house while we were away. Some choice words I would attribute to Kaye: trustworthy, responsive, and thoughtful. Will definitely be hoping Kaye is available the next time we have our-of-town plans!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Wildwoods on Rover is $42.18 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 5,570 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Wildwoods. 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 Wildwoods 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 Wildwoods 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 Wildwoods 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.
