“Magda was amazing and took great care of my dog while I was on a business trip! She sent photos and videos of my sweet baby constantly. She stayed later than expected when my flight got in really late! She is kind and very loving to my dog! I highly recommend her!”
“Silvia is a truly wonderful human being that absolutely loves animals, especially our two dogs. We could not be more happy with the services that she provides, the care that she has, and the true love she has for our dogs. Being away from home is never fun or easy, but when you have someone like Silvia looking out for your beloved dogs, it all becomes much easier.”
“It’s always stressful leaving your fur babies with someone new. Amber set up a meet and greet to go over their needs and quirks. Initially they are scared of everyone and bark a lot. In almost no time, Amber had bonded with them. We appreciated the updates, pictures and occasional package retrieval off the porch. Amber is always prompt with her responses and very flexible with your pets needs.”
“Fawn was super kind and communicative. This was the first time in 10+ years that we have left our animals and the pictures and updates put us at ease. When we got home you could tell the animals were well taken care of. We will for sure be reaching back out if we need help with our animals again.”
“Stephanie once again provided extraordinary service staying with our pets for a second time. Hands down, she is the best petsitter we have ever had. Our pets love her, she is extremely conscientious, trustworthy and reliable. She regularly communicates with updates and phots and I have complete peace of mind when we're away knowing she is taking excellent care of our two dogs and cat!”
“Jazmine did a great job watching over my pets, she communicated daily activities and anything additional that had come up. I received daily photos of my boys and could tell they were well cared for when I got back. Will definitely be a repeating customer”
About: What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give every pet. I treat them like family and take the time to learn their routines, personalities, and individual needs. I’m patient with shy or nervous pets and love keeping them happy, comfortable, and engaged while their people are away. As a professional pet groomer, I also bring extra experience with handling pets, reading body language, and noticing changes in their health or behavior. Your pets’ safety, comfort, and happiness always come first! 🐾❤️ Pet care naturally fits into my daily life! I care for my four furbabies every day, making sure they receive plenty of attention, enrichment, exercise, and love. I also work as a professional pet groomer, so caring for animals is both my passion and my profession. Your pets would be in caring, experienced hands! 🥰🐾 I take advantage of my fenced yard or my clients, if my client doesn’t have a fenced yard then I insure that harness and leash are safe before starting a walk, I make sure nothing remains on the floor for pets to eat that is bad, I have kennels if needed.
About: Hi! I have had over 10 years of experience with my own fur babies. Both of my girls have crossed the rainbow bridge but we got to enjoy their golden years together, going for walks and soaking up the sun. As my dogs got older I became a pro in distributing oral medications and eye drops. Roxy (my Shih Tzu) also became blind and deaf so I have experience with those disabilities as well. I give exceptional belly rubs, & will give these babies compliments all day long. I do work full time, but I have a pretty flexible schedule. Saturday - Monday my availability is pretty open. Tuesday - Friday I would be available after 5pm. My neighborhood has wonderful with walking trails that we could explore. I also live next door to my aunt who has a super friendly Corgi and is always looking for friends to play with. I do love to snuggle up with a pup on the couch or bed, but do have space for a crate if that would be more comfortable for them.
“Thank you so much for taking such sweet care of our fur babies! Our little ChiChi was diagnosed with Addisons just the week before and was very ill. We came home to a very happy boy who had gained nearly all 9 pounds of his weight loss back! Thank you!!!”
“I booked Emily for overnight dog sitting at my home, and she was amazing! She took great care of Kobe and kept me updated throughout her stay with photos and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear that Kobe was happy and comfortable with her. I would absolutely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.”
About: Hi! I am a reliable and responsible pet owner looking to care for others when needed! I am reliable, caring and ready to help with your fur babies! I have a pretty open schedule at the moment. I am available to work around whatever schedule is needed within the next few months to come. I try to keep your pets normal routine intact it often helps with separation anxiety and such. Whatever they are used to I will do.

“Jessica is awesome, and so is George! Our dog Bria is very much a home body and picky about the humans she chooses to befriend. Bria and Jessica did great together, and Bria loved playing with George! Jessica communicates well and was a pleasure to work with. We would not hesitate to use Jessica again. Bria said it's okay, and she's the one we are trying to please! :-)”
About: Hi, my name is Hailey and I’m 28 years old. I am currently going to nursing school full time and I am trying to make some extra money on the side to support my family. My husband and I have had our one dog(Kota, female) for 6 years now and another dog(Ash, male) for 4 years. I also have 2 outdoor barn kitties and 8 chickens. I love to homestead, grow my own veggies and read in my spare time. We have had our dog Kota(English-setter, 11 years old) since she was a puppy and my husband and I decided to adopt Ash(boxer, 6 years old) when he was only 1 year old. He was labeled free and the previous owner could not take care of him, plus he was not trained. He had never experienced grass before so when we first got him his paws would bleed and I got the opportunity to help heal him and hone in to correct his bad behavior skills. I would dedicate 1 hour in the morning and 1 hour at night to train him for a year before he started to trust me and we developed a wonderful relationship like we have with our Kota. I love all of our animal immensely and I believe that animals are not some inanimate object you have but a true companion in your life that deserves to be treated like family. I would love to care for your pet and I can provide some training while doing so in a positive reward environment. I do not believe in animal abuse or keeping animals without having dedication in creating a relationship. Thank you for taking the time to look at my profile, I look forward to working with you. I have school in the mornings during the week and I have study time after that. I can work with your pet most likely afternoons and weekends as long as I’m not busy that weekend. I am flexible, it just depends on the requested times. I believe in reward training and care. I have worked with my own dogs through kennel training and rewarding good behavior. Abuse is not a form of training in my mind, I believe any animal can be trained as long as you put the time and effort into them. Doing this creates a stable and loving relationship between you and that animal.
About: I’ve had pets my whole life, so caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I currently have two dogs and a cat, and I love getting to know each pet’s personality and what makes them comfortable. My dogs are well trained and kennel trained, so I’m comfortable with routines, basic training, and giving pets the structure they need. I’m patient, attentive, and happy to follow your pet’s usual schedule while giving them plenty of love, playtime, and attention. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away I work from home, so I have a pretty flexible schedule and can give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m able to work pet care into my daily routine without leaving pets alone for long periods of time. I also enjoy taking breaks to play, give some attention, or go for walks when needed. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I want your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and at home while they’re in my care. I’ll follow their normal routine, pay attention to their individual needs, and make sure they get plenty of love and attention. Since I work from home, I’m able to be around throughout the day and keep an eye on them. I’ll also make sure doors and gates stay secure and that your pet is always in a safe environment. I’ll treat your home and your pets with the same care and respect I’d give my own.
“Highly recommend! Shalindra provided a week of in-home care for our two dogs, a guinea pig and a gecko. She was delightful to work with. The dogs took to her very quickly, and she was affectionately patient with their unique/opposite personalities. I especially appreciated her daily photo and video updates, and how careful she was to ask questions and provide details on anything happening at the house. I felt confident all was well cared-for, and was truly able to enjoy the time away because Shalindra had everything covered at home.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Wilkeson
Mandy did an outstanding job with our 10 month old standard poodle. People in our neighborhood commented on how happy Teddy looked on his walks. Mandy sent photos of Teddy while we wee on our trip and gave us info on what she was doing with him, She even did a little training with Teddy which we greatly appreciated. In addition to caring for the dog she kept the house spotless and neat. I would strongly recommend Mandy to anyone looking for a caring and loving house sitter for there pet. we will obviously try to get Mandy for any future travel plkans we have.
My doggie loved Mandi from the second they met. He is a little anxious so I was nervous to leave him with a new person. But every picture she sent he was so calm and happy! Mandi is kind and easy to communicate with. She took care of my baby to the highest standard. Absolutely recommend and will rebook!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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 Wilkeson 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 Wilkeson 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 Wilkeson 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
