“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!”
“Dawn covered my time away at the last minute and over a holiday weekend. She then did me a favor by changing and washing my sheets for the bed she slept in. I would definitely use her again.”
“Morgan was amazing - daily updates and pictures - arrived to a clean home - and most importantly, my dog was happy and well exercised when I got home! I will definitely use Morgan again! She even sent me pictures of my flowers that bloomed while I was away!”
“Everything went perfect with Billie watching over the house and Canella. She is a lovely individual and is willing to do whatever is needed. I could tell that Canella was calmer when I got back than the last time I went out of town. That shows that she was really comfortable with Billie. I will definitely call on her again next time I need to travel.”
“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!”
“I adore these people. My only hesitation in posting a great review is that we want to keep Ayla & Han all to ourselves!! Expert care infused with love, kindness, compassion, and genuine affection for our dog and cats. Our dog is almost 13 years old and requires twice-daily medications. I never worry about Mamie’s care needs. We have one very extroverted cat (Goji) and one very shy cat (BellaPearl). I’m so surprised that by this 3rd sit this year, Bella is seeking affection from Ayla! That’s more high praise than I can offer. Truly. I can’t wait to get home to see them all. Thank you, Ayla & Han for EVERYTHING, and, more importantly, being exactly who you are. Absolute gems!”
“Easiest 5 stars for Mary Sue!!! Our girl got sooo many fun adventures this past week, we received at least 1 update every day and pics to go along, and we were so happy to see how much love she was getting while we were away! Mary Sue also took great care of our place and left us a clean home to come back to after our trip. We would be thrilled to have her back anytime, as would our Bumi !! <3”
“Danielle was absolutely beyond amazing! Our dogs can be a little bit of a handful and she did incredible with them, they loved her! She took incredible care of the house and even watered all the plants and cleaned everything before she left, genuinely couldn't ask for anything more. I would recommend her to anyone, one of the best rovers I've ever used :)”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“My experience with Natalia was nothing short of exceptional! My dog, Jaxson, is very important to me. He is a psychiatric service dog, who ordinarily would travel with me. My flight schedule was so erratic I thought it best to leave Jax at home for a couple days. I was looking for a sitter who would stay at my house full-time to keep Jaxson company. Natalia stepped up to stay. I received pictures from Natalia every day and I could tell by Jaxson’s posture that he was being well taken care of. I would be happy to have Natalia back if it becomes necessary and yes, I would absolutely recommend Natalia for your pet sitting needs.”
“Michael was great and was very helpful in securing a short-notice sitter. He was flexible and able to adapt to my larger pack. Very communicative and was able to accommodate their various needs. I would recommend Michael to anyone looking for a sitter who may have a less typical pet situation.”
“Lilou did a very good job communicating with us and was patient when we didn’t get back to her on a question. The dogs were taken care of as well as the house. Appreciate her very much”
About: Hi! I’m Madison, and I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember! 🐾 I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs, and cats, my entire life, so caring for animals has always been something that comes naturally to me. I’ve had experience with dogs of all sizes and personalities, from tiny pups to big, energetic breeds. I’ve also had the opportunity to work alongside professional dog trainers and spend time working with humane societies, which has given me experience understanding different temperaments, needs, and behaviors. I truly believe every pet has their own unique personality, and I love getting to know what makes each one special. ❤️ At home, I’m a proud dog mom to an Australian Shepherd, German Shepherd, and Pit Bull, so I’m very comfortable with active, strong, playful dogs—and I absolutely adore them! Whether your pup needs a long walk, some playtime, extra cuddles, or simply a little company while you’re away, I’m happy to provide loving and dependable care. Your pets are family, and I’ll treat them like they’re my own. My goal is to make sure you feel completely comfortable and confident knowing your furry friends are happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. 🐶🐱💕 I’m currently completely available, while on maternity leave until end of October spending time with my new bundle of joy. After October my schedule will be very open until I find a part time working position! When caring for someone else’s pets, I treat them with the same patience, love, and attention I’d want for my own. I’m very comfortable following your pet’s established routine, from feeding schedules and walks to medications, playtime, and downtime. I always take the time to learn their personality and comfort level, and I’m happy to adjust my approach to whatever helps them feel safe, relaxed, and loved. Your pet’s happiness, safety, and well being are my top priority!
“He was great with our weird pampered pooch, we received consistent updates with photos. Our dog was well cared for and less stressed than usual, he left the house clean, 10/10 would book again!”
“Cheryl was absolutely amazing during the two weeks caring for our pup and home. We received pictures and updates every day, which was a true easing of our hearts, and upon our return, our home was spotless. She even cleaned the sheets on the bed she had been using so our daughter had her own bed after a long trip. Will definitely be looking to have her return!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Will-O-The-Wisp
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 September 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 September 2026, there are 4,766 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.
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.
