“Grace was wonderful with my very high energy dog! Despite it being super cold outside, she was able to exercise him well. I came home to a happy, tired pup that slept all night. She was incredibly kind and flexible, and I’d absolutely book her again!”

“Our two Labradors LOVE Evie!!! We have booked with Evie several times, and we just got back from a 5 day trip to Jamacia. It is so nice being able to go out of the country, knowing that our dogs are in great hands and being well taken care of, while we enjoy our vacation. Our house is always left spotless, and our dogs are always so happy. Evie is reliable and a great communicator! We will continue to book with her for all of our pet sitting needs.”

About: From a very young age, caring for animals has been a natural part of my life. When I was eight years old, I started small home-placement program for pets abandoned along rural roads, making sure they found safe, loving homes. With the help of a local veterinarian, I also cared for injured wildlife-nursing animals hit by cars to health and raising many of their orphaned babies. Growing up on a farm gave me hands on experience with a wide range of species and taught me how to read body language, build trust and stay calm in any situation. Many of the local farmers trusted me to take care of their livestock and four-legged family members while they went on vacation. Over the years I have continued my skills through veterinary medicine studies, reiki, pet massage therapy and a deep interest in natural, holistic care. These experiences shaped me into a patient, intuitive, and knowledgeable caregiver who understands animals on a deeper level and treats every pet with respect, gentleness and consistency. II currently work part‑time on weekdays and am free every day after 1 p.m., as well as fully available on weekends. I’m happy to walk, play with, and feed your pets, and I’m comfortable working outdoors in all types of weather as long as your pet is, too. I don’t mind helping with cleanup—whether that’s backyard potty messes, litter boxes, or small‑animal cages—so your pet’s space stays fresh and comfortable while you’re away. When I’m caring for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping everything as familiar and consistent as possible. I follow your pet’s normal routine closely—mealtimes, walks, playtime, medications, and comfort habits—so their day feels predictable and stress‑free. I take time to learn their cues, respect their boundaries, and match their energy, whether they need quiet companionship or active engagement. I keep your home environment clean and safe by refreshing water, tidying feeding areas, cleaning litter boxes or small‑animal cages, and wiping up any potty messes in the yard. I also make sure doors, gates, and crates are secure and that your pet has everything they need before I leave. My goal is to maintain the same level of care, calm, and attention they’re used to when you’re home.

“We had a unique situation and opportunity to be away for 1 week, come home for 1 1/2 days and leave again for another week. What we wished for our 3 dogs (2 of the 3 senior dogs) was that they stay in their own home and yard with as little disruption as possible. Donna allowed us to do that by staying at our home and maintaining our dog routines for us. Our dogs had a "stay - cation" and we had the vacation. Donna posted pictures and sent us notes so we didn't worry. Upon our return we found 3 happy girls who welcomed us home as if we never had been away. Also upon our return we found a plate of delicious cookies handmade by Donna”

About: I’ve grown up around animals my whole life, i’ve even lived on a farm! I enjoy the company animals give me and how I can understand their love and appreciation without words. I have been around pets from dogs and cats, to turtles and ferrets. I have always been able to bond well with plenty of animals and it makes me happy knowing I can take care of them. I am a full-time college student at UToledo, majoring in Psychology! Although I am taking 5 classes, I still have many gaps in my schedule, and I would love to be able to use my time to play with animals! At the moment, I do not have my own animal, as my previous one passed away. I'd love to make my day a bit brighter and more exciting by watching your sweet animals! Unfortunately, I will not be able to pet-sit or care for any animals in my own home due to living in an apartment, having no fenced-in yard, and not having much space for pets to roam around. I am able, though, to go to anyone’s home to watch their pet and take it from there. I love being outside, so walks are definitely a must for animals that need lots of walking (or any cats/other animals who love to go outside). I will take pictures to send to the animal's owners, record medical information, clean up after the pets/bathroom area, and take on any other needed requests. I will ask questions and get to know what I can/can’t do with the pets before I try to do anything! I am very flexible, and I am here to help you and make your life easier!

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life, I have dog sat for my sisters and friends. I can feed, walk, and bath them. I care for my pets as if there my children and I would do the same for any pet! I got to college online and work a full time job Monday through Friday, when I’m not working I’m home with my pets! They enjoy relaxing with me and my Niko loves car rides! I can do drop in visits and dog walking on weekends any times! Message me and we can definitely work something out! I live in an apartment so I don’t have much of a yard so when it’s not super hot I take Niko on walks let him run around, he enjoys laying outside and chillin. He has so much fluff the heat gets to him ☺️

About: I have owned a dog since I could remember, every time I see a dog, my head goes out the window because I am such a dog lover. I will not only treat your dog like a pet, but like a member of the family, as he/she is a member. I will walk your dog, feed, in-home visits, etc. It would be an honor to be able to be around dogs all day. I would love the opportunity to keep your fur babies safe, healthy and having fun throughout the day. I have plenty of experience raising a dog in the family and I will treat your dog like my own family dog. You can ensure that you can put your fur babies trust in me.

“Maggie did an amazing job taking care of our two dogs and three cats over a long weekend. She was extremely responsive and gave us peace of mind that our pets were being taken care of and loved while we were gone. Both of our dogs have extensive medical needs right now and Maggie did an excellent job administering medicine and providing updates to us. Highly recommend!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Wilkins

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 303 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Wilkins. 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 Wilkins 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 Wilkins 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 Wilkins 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 Wilkins. On Rover:

  • 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.
