“Kiersen was an absolute gem! They took amazing care of our two cats and dog, as well as our home. They were communicative, kind, respectful, and so caring!! I can truly say they went above and beyond. Highly recommend hiring them for your pet’s needs - we hope to hire them again in the future 😊”
“Diego was a godsend. He was willing to make two home visits so Patch could get to know him better. Patch was clearly very comfortable with Diego, Diego check in regularly, sent photos, and left my come home cleaner than he found it. Even washed linens and towels. Patch and I have a new friend for sure. I highly recommend Diego. PS Being new to the area I also got some great suggestions for restaurants and coffee houses.”

“Melissa was extremely good with both Ginny and Grady. She was very responsive and made sure they had everything they needed to be comfortable and happy. We would love to have her back next time we need a sitter.”
“Christina was able to help me on very short notice and stayed at my home for an entire week. From the moment she arrived, I felt completely at ease knowing my animals and home were in such capable hands. She was excellent about sending photos and updates throughout my trip, which gave me so much peace of mind. When I returned home, the house was spotless, and all of my animals were happy, healthy, and well cared for. One of the biggest challenges for me is finding someone who is experienced with a variety of animals—not just cats and dogs, but also goats, chickens, guinea fowl, and geese. Christina handled all of them with confidence and care. She is incredibly trustworthy, dependable, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. I am beyond happy with her services and cannot recommend her highly enough. If you’re looking for someone who will care for your pets and home as if they were her own, Christina is the one! ❤️🐾🐐🐓🪿”
About: Hi, I’m Tahj! For the past four years, I’ve had the joy of house and pet sitting, and it’s been a truly rewarding experience. I’m always excited to meet new furry friends and their fantastic owners.

Feel free to reach out for weekend bookings or any weekday needs! I always stick to the owner's rules to keep things safe and sound, and I’m more than happy to go the extra mile to make sure both your pets and your property are well taken care of!
About: Hi, I’m Lona! 🐾 I’m an animal lover currently in a veterinary assistant program with hands-on experience caring for cats and dogs. I’ll treat your pet like family, giving them plenty of love, attention, playtime, and care while keeping you updated with photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away! 💕 Right now, I’m in between jobs, which means I have a very flexible schedule and can dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care. Whether it's early morning walks, midday check-ins, or overnight sitting, I’m available and committed to meeting your pet’s needs. I love staying active, so dog walking fits perfectly into my daily routine — it helps keep me moving and gives me a chance to bond with your pet. Since I’m not tied to a strict 9-to-5 schedule, I can easily adapt to last-minute requests, extended stays, or custom routines that work best for you and your furry friend. Whether I’m caring for a pet in my own home or in the client’s home, my top priorities are safety, comfort, and consistency. I understand that every pet has their own routine, personality, and preferences, so I do my best to follow their normal schedule and make them feel secure and loved.

“Our previous rover cancelled on us last minute and Angelica stepped in for us with one day notice and house sat our 3 animals for an entire week. She kept our house clean and tidy and took such great care of our pets. I’m so thankful for her and highly recommend!”
“My husband and I were in town for a wedding and needed very, very last minute care for our dog. I downloaded the Rover app and requested house sitting from Sher and she promptly responded. She was timely, communicative, and so loving with our senior doggie! We received multiple photos and updates throughout the night. We came back to a calm, happy pup. We are so grateful that she was able to help us in a pinch!! Highly recommend!”
“Kerstin had a nice overnight stay with Sadie. The house was immaculate when I returned home, and Sadie was a happy girl. I know she had lots of attention and snuggles! I would definitely use Kerstin again.”
About: I’ve been breeding and raising golden retrievers since I was 16, I’ve been a professional groomer since I was 18. But my love for animals started when I was just a little girl. 🩷 I’m currently in my third trimester and I am a stay at home mom to be. So I am very flexible in my day to day schedule. I prefer to pet sit in the client’s home to make the pet feel the most comfortable and confident, while the pet parent is away.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 582 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Wilkinsville. 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 Wilkinsville 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 Wilkinsville 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 Wilkinsville 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.
