“Dominique was absolutely amazing. Our initial booking had to be rescheduled due to a storm, and she was incredibly accommodating and understanding. I had a work trip that required me to leave very early in the morning, so I left her a key to let herself in. Unfortunately, my dog was feeling very anxious and scared, but Dominique handled the situation with so much patience, professionalism, and kindness. She truly took the time to help him feel comfortable and safe, and by the end of their time together they were the best of friends. My trip started off stressful—as it always is when your dog is stressed—but thanks to Dominique, I quickly felt calm and reassured knowing my dog was in such caring, capable hands. I can’t recommend her enough.”
“Chelsea was AMAZING. This was our first experience with Rover and she set the bar high. She made us feel totally comfortable about the process and was incredibly communicative when it came to the dogs, their routine, etc. We came home to two very happy dogs and a clean house. The best of the best!!”
“Jillian was a great sitter and companion for Potter! She was thorough and kept me in the loop with everything going on at home, which allowed me to know he was well-looked after and I could enjoy my time away. I would love to have her look after Potter again in the future!”
“Karena was a wonderful pet sitter for us! Our usually skittish chihuahua mix even came to like sitting by jet and getting pets. Her calm caring energy really helps anxious dogs! Karena also sent pics and videos throughout our booking which was very reassuring. Overall, we highly recommend her!”
“Joann and her daughter Paige were amazing with our pup. She sent lots of pictures and made sure our recent rescue felt safe. We will definitely use her again.”
“Stephanie was so great. She has great communication skills, she pays attention to detail, and most importantly took great care of my sweet boys. I appreciated how she kept me in the loop with her schedule and how the boys were doing while I was gone. She’s great and will take amazing care of your pets!”
“Louise is amazing! She is the first sitter we used after adopting our very energetic puppy, and she did such an incredible job keeping her happy and safe while making sure our other dog and cat were as well. We’d absolutely trust her to watch our babies again.”
“Monica is the best. She’s watched Kairo several times and always goes above and beyond to make sure we are comfortable while away. She is our go to caregiver for Kairo. Highly recommend her!”
“Lara was very responsive when setting up the visit and agreed to meet ahead of time to go over some of my pups quirks. She kept me updated throughout her stay and Jambo seems very happy and calm when I returned home. I would definitely book Lara again.”
“Morganne was fantastic with my elderly dogs. She was very patient and paid attention to every detail of their care. One of my dogs had a small emergency, and she was able to assist and keep me updated. The communication throughout the process was so good that I never felt worried about my dog's well-being. I will definitely reach out to her again.”
“Olivia truly lets us take a vacation without having to worry about our dogs or home. She is consistently sending photos and giving updates as well as seemingly enjoying time with our dogs. Very happy to have her as a sitter!!”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 14, walking my neighbors, friends, families dogs. Bathing them, dog sitting them, etc. I have always loved taking care of them and I enjoy it very much, I’m the biggest animal lover, especially for dogs. I go to school full time and have a job full time, but taking care of animals is something I always love to do and I make time to fit it into my schedule. My dogs have always been in door dogs, and kennel trained for when we weren’t home. They also are more spoiled than they probably need to be but they deserve it. I would care for your dog as I would for mine.
“Sage was wonderful with our pets. We booked her to house sit and stay with our two dogs and two cats. She was very responsive while we were away and kept us up to date on our pets and how they were doing. We definitely recommend her and will use her again.”
About: I have experience in both vists and sits slong with having pets of my own. I have experience with multiple sizes of pets and of care. I am a part time student with ample time for taking care of your pets. My schedule is open and flexible for the needs of the pet. I can and will follow the pet care instructions for your child to the letter and keep note of their behavior and will report as needed.
“Karleen did such an amazing job with my 3 dogs!! My house has never looked this nice upon a dog sitting return! Considering it rained all weekend this huge!! Highly recommend.”
“Shalisha was wonderful! She was super kind and respectful. The dogs loved her and she kept us updated with their well-being at least 2x a day. When we came home everything was clean and left in great condition. Will def be booking in the future :).”
“Erica was absolutely amazing and I would recommend her to anyone! She was so sweet and took great care of both of our dogs while my husband and I were out of town. She sent multiple updates with pictures of them throughout the day. She stayed at our house and the place was spotless when we returned. My dogs were very comfortable around her and got lots of cuddles while we were gone. I will definitely reach back out to Erica again when needed!”
“Denice was so kind and generous with my anxious dog. From the moment she picked my dog up, I could see how loving Denice was. Skittles doesn’t usually like new people, but she jumped right into her car. Denice sent me photos all week showing me the two of them snuggling together. It was so reassuring and comforting to me to see what good care my dog was receiving.”
About: Hello, I’ve been around dogs since I was about five or six years old and have lived with, walked, cared for, and watched dogs throughout my life. Over the years, that has included Black and Yellow Labs, German Shepherds, Boxers, Golden Retrievers, Portuguese Water Dogs, Aussiedoodles, an English Mastiff, a King Charles Cavapoo, Bernedoodles, and plenty of wonderful mixed breeds. Because I’ve spent time with such a wide range of dogs, I’m comfortable with different sizes, energy levels, personalities, and routines — from large, strong dogs that enjoy a good walk to smaller dogs that are happiest with some attention and companionship. I currently spend time almost every day with Nola, a Bernedoodle here in Charlotte, so being around dogs is still a regular part of my life. I’m active, patient, dependable, and attentive to instructions. I understand that every dog has their own routine and personality, and I’m happy to follow whatever works best for yours — whether that means a long walk, a quick bathroom break, feeding, playtime, or simply keeping them company while you’re away. Most importantly, I understand that when someone asks me to care for their dog, they’re trusting me with a member of their family. I take that responsibility seriously and will always communicate clearly, keep you updated, and treat your dog and home with respect. I work remotely, so my schedule is flexible and pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and check-ins throughout the day, and I can often accommodate both regular schedules and occasional last-minute needs. I enjoy being active and getting outside, so dog walks are an easy part of my day. Working remotely also gives me the flexibility to spend a little extra time with pets when needed rather than feeling rushed from one commitment to the next. I take safety and trust seriously and always follow the owner's instructions and the pet's normal routine as closely as possible. In a client's home, I make sure doors, gates, leashes, and harnesses are secure, and I pay attention to the pet's behavior and surroundings during walks and visits. I've been around dogs of many different sizes and personalities over the years, so I'm comfortable giving them space when needed and letting them get comfortable with me at their own pace. I also treat every client's home with the same respect I would expect in my own—keeping things clean, secure, and making sure their pet is comfortable before I leave.

Stephanie is part of our family now. We all love when she comes. She walks Dezi several times a day, plays with her and even sleeps with her. I hear from her every day during my trip so I never worry about my baby. When we got home, our house was perfect and she had even made an apple pie. I think Dezi looks forward to us going away so she can spend time with Stephanie.
FANTASTIC SITTER! Virginia was amazing - from start to finish! She graciously met with me twice to review Lexie’s schedule since my dates ended up changing. From our first meeting, I could tell how caring and dedicated she is at her job. She kept me updated exactly as she said she would. She followed Lexie’s detailed schedule perfectly! I never once worried about my girl - who is my senior “baby” - just turned 12. In addition, Virginia stayed overnight at my house and it was perfectly maintained. She is a gem - I could not recommend her more! Lexie was one SUPER happy pup being cared for by Virginia!
Chelsea was absolutely amazing! It was our wedding day, full of lots of stress and running around and she was calm and cool and one thing we never had to worry about was our babies. She took great care of them and put our minds at ease. She was polite and caring and sensitive to our chaotic day. She sent us pics and notes and was so unbelievably caring and thoughtful. Book her!
Kristin rocks! She stayed at our house 2 nights with our dog and 2 cats. Our pup is a bit anxious but seemed to be relaxed, all things considered. Kristin sent multiple updates and followed our instructions to a tee. Highly recommend!! If we weren’t moving, she would be our new go to sitter!
Link was great with our dogs, and I know our very energetic dog, Dante, appreciated the play time. Link kept us up to date on things along the way. He also was great about allowing our dogs to free roam and also spend some time outside (chihuahuas all love to sunbathe). He left everything of great order and the dogs, which were happy to see us, were also very happy overall which reflects Link’s patience and care with them.
We had such a wonderful experience with Kiera! She was absolutely amazing with our dogs and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. From the very beginning, she was kind, dependable, communicative, and clearly cared about our dogs as if they were her own. Kiera kept us updated, was attentive to their needs, and made sure they was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. It was such a relief knowing she was in such good hands, and we could truly relax and enjoy our time away without worrying. We would absolutely recommend Kiera to anyone looking for a trustworthy, loving, and responsible pet sitter. We will definitely be using her again! 🐾❤️
Joanne is great with dogs. She sat for a week with my four large dogs. She loved on them,played with them and completely gave me the piece of mind I needed. Joann sent pictures everyday and described their days together. If you want someone who is competent,loving and communicates effectively, Joanne is your sitter.
Malik was excellent with our 2 oversized Doodles! Our boys are 4 and still have lots of energy. Malik handled them easily and based on photos he sent we could tell they were very comfortable with him! That isn’t always the case for one of our boys, one of them can be hard to win over. We are super thankful we found him and will definitely use him in the future!
Shannon has watched my dogs numerous times over the years, and she is absolutely wonderful. She was always so gentle and caring with my older dog, Elektra, especially toward the end when she needed extra care and attention to stay comfortable. My younger dog, Matrix, absolutely adores her. He can be pretty needy, and it’s clear she gives him the love, attention, and cuddles he craves when I’m away. I also really appreciate the regular pictures and updates she sends so I know he’s happy and having a good time!

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 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.
