“Samuel was great! He stayed over with Shelby for a night and came home to a very happy Dog. We were coming back from the mountains and uncertain of time coming home and Samuel offered to stay as long as we wanted, which ended up not being needed. Great communication and pics to go along with the say. Will definitely be using Samuel again!”
“Excellent cat sitter! She did an excellent job taking care of my cat and was very attentive and reliable. She also left my home clean, tidy, and well organized, which I really appreciated. I felt very comfortable knowing everything was taken care of while I was away. I would definitely recommend her and would be happy to have her care for my cat again!”
About: I have owned a dog my whole entire life All different makes and models. Last time we boarded our dogs they ended up getting kennel cough, and one of them almost died and I thought I could do better than that in my own home for other people to not have to go through that. Dogs love me and love going on walks and hikes with me and there will always be toys and treats. They will be stoked to go on the walk or stay at my house. I am new to Rover, but give me a chance and you’ll see that I will take great care of your furry loved ones. I typically work from noon until eight, but I dip out around four for a dog walk of my own. I also get 4 miles in every morning with my dog and yours is welcome to join. I can also have your dog at my house all day long. I have a fenced in backyard, but they are also welcome in my home as long as they are house trained. I also have crate on hand if that is better while they are inside. Plenty of toys, treats and long walks (or hikes if it’s ok)
“Aurelia was patient with our anxious pup. She took her for walks and stayed in communication with us all night. She did a fantastic job! I would highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs.”
“This duo is where it’s at! They were amazing with my poocho, Sven- and I couldn’t have felt more comfortable with him in their care. I received photo updates and you can just tell they have a strong love for animals ♥️ I really appreciated their help with such short notice and taking wonderful care of my boy. Thanks again guys!!”
“Mitch was available last minute for some holiday plans that got moved around. He always responded very quickly. Our dogs were very comfortable around him and he left our house exactly as he found it! We’ve never had someone we don’t know stay in our house while we were gone but Mitch made us feel very comfortable.”
“Conrad was absolutely fabulous. Everyone was very happy and well cared for. Communication was excellent, and pictures were sent as requested. We will definitely be using Conrad’s services again in the near future.”
“Sarah was very professional and a clear communicator. She sent us really nice pictures of our fur babies and it was obvious how much fun they were having with her. She adjusted her schedule due to the high temperatures to make sure walks happened when it was cooler. Sarah is a very kind and caring person. We would definitely highly recommend her. Thanks Sarah!”
“Morgan is just amazing. Communicating was great back and forth, even when our flight plans had to change. She took excellent care of our doggies and our house. She was here with the dogs for the vast majority of the day, which was important to me. She is my go-to sitter going forward.”
“Bryan is great! He’s a cool person to get to know and has a calming demeanor with our large dogs…we really appreciated having him at our house with our pups for the week!”
“Lilou was great with Lola, especially during the 4th of July for a night of scary fireworks. She was communicative and responsive all week. She sent pictures of Lola playing and Lola seemed to have a great time.”
“Danielle was absolutely wonderful! She was very communicative and kept us up to date on everything that was going on while we were away. She sent lots of pictures, which we really appreciated, and it was clear she gave our pup lots of love and attention while she was here. We could tell our dog was very comfortable and happy having her at our house. Danielle was also a fantastic house guest - she left everything very clean. We are so grateful for her care and would happily book with her again. Thank you Danielle!”
“Brittany took excellent care of my three adult cats and two foster kittens over a long weekend in my home! Both the cats and the home were better when we returned than how we left them - she followed the pet care instructions to a tee (including one cat that needed daily medication), sent lots of photos and updates, and even brought in mail/tidied up around the house. She went above and beyond to brush the cats and spend quality time with the energetic kittens. She was a good communicator, reliable, and trustworthy and I’d book her again without hesitation.”
“This was our second time booking with Tamarine, she is so great with our senior fur kids and they love her! She is always quick to respond and takes great care of our home. It gives me peace of mind when we're away knowing our pets are in such good hands.”
“Mary Sue deserves more than 5 stars. She went above and beyond for our 3 hounds! We will definitely be rebooking for our future needs! She kept us updated multiple times throughout each day and gave us picture updates to ensure our dogs were in great hands! Our place was clean when she left and our dogs were beyond happy which is everything we wanted after coming back home from a long trip! Would definitely recommend Mary Sue and he will use her again in the future!”
“Madison saved my birthday trip when my previous sitter cancelled at the last minute!!! She was an absolute gem and I immediately trusted her to take the best care of my boys. One of them needed medications in the morning and evening as well as subcutaneous fluid therapy a couple times during the stay. Madison handled all of that super well! And when my baby was having issues Madison let me know right away and took superb care of him while I got on the way back home. I'm forever grateful to Madison and cannot thank her enough for all that she did for my babies <3. Also she took the CUTEST pictures I've ever gotten from a sitter before. Thank you, Madison!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Will-O-The-Wisp
Riese did amazing! Our dogs trusted them right away, they have a calm presence and genuine love for animals. They were flexible with us traveling from out of state. They sent lots of communication and updates which was very appreciated. We will be working with them again when traveling to Denver! :)
Morgan was excellent. She was so compassionate with our menagerie (3 dogs 2 cats). Our senior pup needed frequent night-time potty breaks, which she accommodated without complaint. It is clear she knows dog behavior and took the time to introduce our pack to her Dicé to ensure safety and a good fit. Morgan even bought Christmas presents for everyone!! I couldn't be happier or feel more confident in the safety of our animals and home under her care. Highly recommend!!

FAQs for House Sitting - Will-O-The-Wisp
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Will-O-The-Wisp on Rover is $44.4 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 4,777 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Will-O-The-Wisp. 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 Will-O-The-Wisp 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 Will-O-The-Wisp 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 Will-O-The-Wisp 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.

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.
