Jennifer was awesome! She took excellent care of our two dogs, Kona and Milo, while we were out of town. She was very friendly and sent frequent updates letting us know how the dogs were doing. We highly recommend her!

Sarah was absolutely amazing. We are so glad we found her. She sent lots of photos, stayed in touch with us the whole time and even washed the sheets and blankets from the guest room she stayed in! We look forward to her taking such good care of our pup again for our son’s wedding. It is such a relief to know your precious animals are in good hands. Judging from the way Zeus was looking at her in the photos he can’t wait either! 🐾

Stephenie stayed with our dogs at our house over the weekend, and she was phenomenal! We received lots of updates and happy pictures of the dogs while we were gone that helped put us at ease knowing the dogs were being well taken care of. Stephanie also maintained their routine and gave them their daily medicines. We are so happy to have met Stephenie and will be booking with her again!

We are so grateful for Isaiah! We had to leave town last minute, and he worked with us every step of the way. He came by beforehand to meet our dogs and has a lot of experience. One of our dogs is a new adoption, and she really only likes me, but he was able to get her to a place where she was comfortable and not stressed around him. That alone says a lot about how good he is. He was accommodating to whatever we needed during the sit and was respectful of our home. When we got back, our pets were happy, relaxed, and acting completely like themselves. We’ve had experiences in the past where you could immediately tell the level of care they received, and this was the opposite. It truly felt like they had been cared for the way we would care for them. Isaiah was that person. We will definitely be reaching out to him again in the future.

I had an out of state house buying trip planned and my boxer randomly got kennel cough and was on medication. So, no kennel for him! I found Kiara on Rover and took a chance. Although I was a little nervous about the idea of someone I don’t know in my house, Kiara worked out perfectly! She kept in regular contact with pictures of Roscoe and what they were doing. She took great care of him, gave his meds as requested, and was a great companion for him during my absence for 5 nights. Oh, and she was a great house sitter as well (she spent the nights here too) I’d recommend Kiara! 5 ⭐️

Both pups were so well taken care of, and we loved receiving updates and pictures while we were away. It gave us such peace of mind knowing they were in great hands. We’ll definitely be booking with Allyson again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!

Victor was an exceptional guest and a wonderful caretaker for my two dogs. He followed all instructions carefully, maintained great communication while I was away, and most importantly, my dogs absolutely adored him. The house was spotless when I returned! Victor went above and beyond to ensure everything was in order, and I felt completely at ease knowing my pets and home were in such capable hands. I would not hesitate to welcome him back again. Highly recommended!

Ada house sat my dog who was both diabetic and recovering from bronchitis which required shots and other medications twice a day. She not only cared for MMO’s medical needs but provided emotional support for him in my absence. She sent pictures and conducted a River video chat with me to ensure not only Momo’s emotional support but for mine as well. I felt confident my beloved pet was in good hands.

This was our first time using Jennifer and she did a great job with Bogart. He took to her right away and she sent lots of pictures which showed he was obviously very comfortable with her. She was on time and very easy to communicate with and left the house neat and tidy. Would definitely recommend.!

Brenda is a literal angel on earth. I know we will never find someone else even remotely close to how amazing she is to house sit and watch our dogs for us. If you book with Brenda, you will be giving your pets and yourself a luxury service. Our two dogs are 1.5yrs and 9mos and Old English Bulldogs. They are clever, stubborn, sweet, smart and all the things. I’m home every day with them between night shifts and am well aware of the challenges, constant upkeep, entertaining them, etc., I left instructions regarding what a normal day looks like at our home for Brenda and she blew my husband and I out of the water as far as dog parenting goes! She did enrichment activities, lots of exercise, training, critical thinking skills, and was with them the entire time we were gone minus some short errands. We’ve never left our dogs before and had to make a somewhat last minute, very stressful trip to visit family. I was so anxious and Brenda’s presence, her updates, and great conversations took the anxiety away the very first day we were gone. It was the best feeling! I knew we didn’t have to worry about anything at all other than spending time with my family. Coming home, excited to see our dogs, we walked into a house that appeared as if a cleaning service came, fresh cookies made on the counter for us, and two very relaxed, well behaved, sleepy dogs who obviously had a long day of fun! All we had to do was unpack and relax with our babies!!! I cannot recommend Brenda enough!!!! We are hoping she wants to come back. She did 50000% more than we ever would’ve asked of someone. And if we were rich, I would offer her a full time position in our lives as our dog nanny, trainer, bestie for the dogs and housekeeper!!! Thank you so, so, so much!!!! <3

The week before our trip, Rebecca came to meet Paintball and get familiar with our home and the cat care supplies and routine. Paintball can be hesitant around strangers, but they quickly became friends! While we were away, Rebecca was excellent at communicating with me and she sent us many pictures of Paintball living her best kitty cat life. She even gave her a thorough brushing! Our house was just as we left it and Paintball appeared to be well cared for while we were away :) We would be happy to use her services again in the future.

FAQs for House Sitting - Wilkinson Terrace

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Wilkinson Terrace on Rover is $64.2 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 1,445 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Wilkinson Terrace. 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 Wilkinson Terrace 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 Wilkinson Terrace 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 Wilkinson Terrace 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 Wilkinson Terrace. On Rover:

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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.
