“Perfect first experience using rover for a sitter. Anna was excellent and we have two happy pups!!!! Thanks Anna for all the photo pupdates and for being so caring to our babies.”

“Kasie was wonderful and patient with my two kitties. She texted me every time she was come to and from the house. She sent pictures and updated me on their feedings. I highly recommend booking with her!”

“Sue was great with our two fur babies. I was so nervous to leave them for the first time since we moved here. Sue sent pictures everyday of my babies. She stayed overnight which was great since my dogs are older. We will definitely book with her again.”

“Chelbi was a very responsible and knowledgeable sitter for my puppy. She sent pictures and kept in contact with any questions or updates. I hope she is available for any future sitting needs we may have! Thank you, Chelbi!!?”

About: I am the proud owner of 3 little Shi Tzu's. My husband travels with his work so there are lots of time I am by myself at home. I would love to help with your fur babies needs. We are a very dependable and honest couple that is originally from Louisiana but have lived in Texas for almost 20 years. My entire life I have had animals of all kinds but mainly dogs. We have had big dogs to very small pets. I have a sister that was a assistant Vet for about 30 years and she has taught me a lot about how to safely care for their health and maintain a good diet and exercise. Love All types of Pets !!! Your pet will be able to run with ours and I take mine outside all throughout the day. If you would prefer them to be created I will provide them with any rules you would normally do at your home. I promise your pet will be loved and cared for as if they were my own.
“Absolutely amazed by Alexis and how well she did. Very professional and had no problem watching our house even with some of the extra tasks asked of her. Ive had sitters in the past but never have I come home to house that felt cleaner than when I left. I appreciated the daily updates and behavioral observations. 10/10 will use her again”

“Cory did an absolutely wonderful job caring for our dogs, cat and other animals! He was attentive to them and the dogs really loved him! So grateful for his care of our pets and home.”


About: I’ve cared for animals my entire life and am comfortable with a wide variety of pets. I understand their needs, behaviors, and routines, and provide attentive, loving care to keep them safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away. Caring for animals has been part of my daily life for as long as I can remember. I make time each day for feeding, cleaning, playtime, exercise, and giving pets the attention they deserve. I enjoy being around animals and am committed to keeping them happy, healthy, and comfortable while they’re in my care. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure. In my clients’ homes, I provide fresh food and water, walks, playtime, litter box or yard cleanup, medication if needed, and plenty of attention and affection. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality and needs so they receive safe, reliable, and loving care while their owners are away.
About: When I was younger we had 3 dogs, they were my best girls! Over the years we had rescued 8 cats, one of our cats may have some autism but she is so gentle and just needed some love. The trick is to let them come to you so they see you as a safe space! I currently work part-time but I am not working as much this summer, I may have a few softball lessons since I play college softball. My morning and afternoons are mainly free, in the afternoon is when I workout but I am very flexible! We used to have a fenced in area in our backyard for our dogs and a pool deck (no pool) but had to tear down our deck and now we have a beautiful grassy green area with lots of plants! Our home inside is very pet friendly we have cat and dog toys as well as cat and dog food/treats!

About: I’ve been caring for animals my entire life and understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs.

I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, senior pets, and animals that need extra patience and attention. Whether it’s walks, playtime, medication administration, feeding, or simply providing companionship, I’ll care for your pet as if they were my own. I know how important peace of mind is when you’re away, so I provide regular updates, photos, and plenty of love and attention. My schedule is flexible and allows me to provide reliable care throughout the week. I can accommodate morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend visits depending on your needs. I understand the importance of consistency for pets and strive to maintain their normal routines while you’re away. Whether your pet needs a quick drop-in visit, extended care, or overnight attention, I’m committed to providing dependable and compassionate care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. As a registered nurse, I pay close attention to details and am experienced in recognizing changes in health or behavior. I follow all care instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise needs, and household routines. I believe in building trust with both pets and owners through clear communication, reliability, and respect for your home. You’ll receive regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.

“I was out of town from Sunday through Thursday. I was a little nervous about a stranger watching my pets. But she really came through. She communicates right away and I came home to a clean house and happy pets. I would definitely use her again.”


About: I have life long years of experience with dog care :) I love all dogs as they were my own and am willing to give whatever extra care they need ! I have a free schedule on weeknights and weekends. Mon-Fridays. I can service through drop-ins, walks or one-night stays if needed...I can do weekends for a small extra fee Currently I cannot board! I am open to house sitting weekends or weeknight stays. I am available for frequent drop-ins as needed. I am very respectful of my client's spaces and will leave it exactly how I found it. I'll even gladly take the trash out :)

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was about 10, I’m 21 now. My major is Pre-Veterinary because I’ve had a love for animals and dream of being a vet since I was 7. I have a cat of my own, Luna, and she’s my world. I treat her like a baby so I would love to share the same love to your fur babies! I work full-time as a manager at Walmart, and I’m a full time college student (online). I’m pretty fair and understanding with scheduling, as long as you reach out in advance. If my schedule doesn’t fit for you, I do not mind adjusting to accommodate you and your fur babies! I also don’t have an issue with last minute planning, just be mindful of scheduling issues or certain questions I asks in regards of the service you’ve requested! When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I make sure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water, and get plenty of exercise and attention throughout the day. I also monitor their behavior to make sure they are happy, healthy, and not feeling stressed while their owner is away. As well as in a clients home, I respect your space and specific instructions on pet care! Ensuring your pets and home’s safety is never an issue.
“Brandi is wonderful - our dogs are a lil needy - one is high strung & constantly jumping, running & needing lots of attention & the other just had knee surgery so he has to be leash walked 4-6 times a day for rehab & potty breaks &&& both dogs take multiple meds several times a day - needless to say there is a serious chart to follow &&& Brandi never missed a beat. We feel very comfortable w Brandi in our home & caring for our beasts :-)”

“Sarah was so great! She was great about learning the medication regime for the dogs, and she was also able to fully gain the trust of our cautious solder dog. We are so glad to have found her and hope she is available the next time we leave town!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Wilkins
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 175 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Wilkins. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
