“This was the second time I used Stephanie and she was just as incredible this time as she was last. She sent me lots of pictures and I could genuinely tell she was showing my dogs love. I would highly recommend Stephanie.”
“Chelsea did a fantastic job with our girls! She was communicative, reliable, and cared for them so well. Would recommend her to anyone needing some extra care for their pets!”
“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!”
About: I love pets of all kinds. My kids are with their dad every other week so I'm super available during those times. I typically work with cats and dogs but I'm willing to check on any of your animal babies! I'm a teacher so summers are a great time for me to help. I'm home early so I have lots of time in the afternoon. I have one very friendly and sweet dog. Not fenced but very big back yard. Lots of room to explore walk and run around. Two kids who absolutely love animals of all kinds.
“Shalisha was so great with our pup Morris, entertaining him during rainy/snowy days with new toys and sending us frequent updates. She left our home in good shape and we’d love to work with her again!”
“Our dogs had an absolute blast with Gabby. I am an absolute wreck when I leave my fur babies and Gabby put my mind at ease for the whole trip. She is super communicative and very trustworthy. Our dogs can’t wait to see her again!”
“Link was awesome and took great care of our elderly Doberman, Dixie. He spent the week with her and kept us updated on her and sent pictures. We had a slight change in plans at the beginning of the stay and he was more than accommodating and flexible. We highly recommend Link and wouldn't hesitate having him take care of Dixie in the future.”
“Victoria was great! She knew how to read my dog so well, made sure to understand his needs, and was communicative with updates. I will definitely use her again.”
“Morganne provided excellent care and communication as our pet sitter over Thanksgiving. I am hoping she is willing to sit. For us again. Morganne provided frequent updates and video and pics. It was fun to see my happy pups.”
About: Hi there! 🐾 I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 10 years of experience caring for dogs and cats. I know how important it is to have someone trustworthy looking after your furry family members, and I treat every pet with the same love, patience, and attention I’d want for my own. Whether your pup enjoys a nice walk, playtime, or simply having someone keep them company, I’m happy to help! I enjoy getting to know each dog’s unique personality, energy level, and daily routine so they feel comfortable and cared for. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and select house-sitting services. You can expect reliable communication, photo updates, and lots of love while you’re away. I’m also bilingual in English and Spanish. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pup! 🐶❤️ Pet care fits naturally into my routine! I currently have a flexible schedule, allowing me to dedicate time to walks, drop-in visits, and select overnight stays. I enjoy spending time with animals and make it a priority to give each pet the attention and care they deserve. Whether your pet needs a midday walk, some playtime, or a little company while you’re away, I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that fits their needs! Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my priority! I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, so I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and any special instructions before providing care. I make sure pets have a safe, comfortable environment, keep a close eye on their behavior and surroundings, and follow your instructions carefully. I also treat your home with the same respect I would my own, making sure everything is clean and secure before leaving. You can always expect communication and photo updates for peace of mind!
“Breana did a great job house sitting for our animals. The animals were well taken care of and she left our house neater than she found it. I also really appreciated the daily updates and photos she sent.”
“Jeffrey was amazing with our puppy! It was our first time leaving her and we were super nervous about it. Jeffrey communicated everything and sent reassuring photos while we were away. Our puppy loved Jeffrey and we are already looking to book him again!”
“Julia has top notch communication! She sent all the cute photos of our babies while we were away which made us feel like they were in such good hands. She also went above and beyond cleaning up when one of our old man dogs had an accident while we were away. We are so grateful for the love and care she showed our pups!”
“Montana is our dog’s new best friend! 🩷 She was so kind, responsive, and made sure to pay attention to every little detail! When we first met Montana she made us feel so comfortable right away and we knew we could trust her with our fur baby and home! Montana stayed at our house and was such a pleasant guest! We appreciated her cute photos and updates throughout her stay as well. We are booking her services again so that our dog can have another wonderful weekend while we are away! 🩷🩷🩷”
“Angie was amazing! One of my dogs is very uncomfortable with strangers and within 5 minutes they were best buds. I was very relieved to be able to go out of town knowing that my babies wouldn’t be stressed and would be in great hands. They can’t wait to see Angie again next week!”
“Kristina was reliable, trustworthy, and stayed in touch regularly while we were across the country. She took great care of our senior dog and catered to all the little specificities that he is grown to expect in his old age! She also cared for our cat who spent most of her time hiding but came out for food and litter box which Kristina had ready for her. She also handled a power outage in the summer heat! She was a star and would definitely recommend her to my friends & family!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Wildwoods
Jared was great…good meet and greet, asking all the right questions, to the last day of taking care of our pooch. Followed the directions we left, kept me informed how things were going and was a great house guest. Both the pooch and us were very happy with the visit.
Virginia was wonderful! She was able to dogsit our two dogs on short notice and was absolutely great with them. She gave our dogs lots of attention, took them on walks even in the rain, was understanding of their high energy, and gave us frequent updates with pictures. She was also so kind and detail-oriented. I would definitely recommend!
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.
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.
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Wildwoods is $51 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $78 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 2,976 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
