“Isabella was great staying with our three pups! It’s hard for us to board outside of the house all together, and Isabella graciously came to stay with them over the weekend we were gone. She provided daily updates and the pups were all healthy and happy when we got home. We will definitely be reaching back out to her next time we’re out of town!”
“Chey, appreciated your time, flexibility with house sitting Remi. Getting away and knowing an experienced person is caring for our dog while we are gone is so important. Loved the great communication and the pics sent. Thank you!”
About: I live in the Evergreen area and work in Golden, and I spend a lot of time outside running and hiking, so I’m a great match for dogs who have some energy and need more than just a quick walk. I’m super reliable, easygoing, and I pay attention to the little things, whether that’s sticking to your dog’s routine or just making sure they feel comfortable while you’re gone. I genuinely enjoy being around dogs and getting them outside, so it never feels like a chore. Happy to help with walks, drop-ins, or sitting, whatever you need! I live in Evergreen and work at a running store in Golden during the week (and some weekends), but I have a flexible schedule and am available at different times throughout the day. I can usually make mornings, afternoons, or evenings work depending on what you need. I try to keep things as close to your dog’s normal routine as possible so they feel comfortable and relaxed. I pay attention to feeding, walks, and any specific instructions you give. I’m very mindful on walks and always prioritize safety. In your home, I’m respectful, clean, and consistent. I also send updates and photos so you can relax knowing your dog is in good hands.
“Rachel was great. Was my first Rover experience and I felt like I was in great hands. Lots of communication and feedback. Left the house in great condition. Very friendly! Moby seemed to love her on the meet and greet. Will gladly use her services again.”
About: I grew up taking care of dogs and absolutely love them. Our pets are a part of our family. I think they should be loved and cared for while their owners are away and not put into a cage for the weekend. This causes stress and anxiety! Why should we be having all of the fun our pets deserve a normal weekend while we are away! I enjoy being outside and taking our dogs for walks and playing fetch! I also enjoy just snuggling up with our pup and watching a movie! I will take care of your dog like it is my own so you can have fun and not worry while you're on vacation! I am dependable and honest. Call me for your next vacation!
“Mitch did a wonderful job sitting Kizmet! She was extremely happy when I got home. He sent updates and pictures to me regularly. Also, on his first stay, I got stuck out of town, and Kizmet also had a seizure. He handled everything extremely well, and took good care to reassure me that all was well, and that Kiz was ok. I would recommend him wholeheartedly! You can rest easy if he is caring for your fur baby!”
About: Hi! I’m Mikayla, a dog lover with 10+ years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes and breeds. I provide play time, feeding, medication, and plenty of love and attention. I treat every dog like my own, keeping them happy, safe, and comfortable while you’re away. Hi! I’m Mikayla — a dependable, organized pet sitter who specializes in calm, in-home care. I work full-time and care for my own animals, so I keep a limited, well-managed schedule to make sure every pet I watch gets quality attention. I offer: • Overnight stays in your home • Drop-in visits for feeding, play, and check-ins Because of my work schedule, I do best with: • Set start and end dates • Clear routines and instructions • Well-organized bookings I don’t overbook myself — this allows me to stay consistent, reliable, and present for the pets in my care. If your pets do best with calm energy, routine, and someone who truly notices the little things, we’ll be a great fit. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. I treat every home with the same respect I give my own — clean, secure, and calm. I’m careful about doors, gates, food storage, litter areas, and anything that could affect your pet’s well-being while you’re away. I’m experienced in: • Keeping pets safely indoors or properly secured outdoors • Following detailed feeding, medication, and care instructions • Noticing behavior or health changes and communicating quickly • Maintaining clean litter boxes, bowls, and living spaces I understand how stressful it can be to leave your pets with someone new. I provide regular updates and photos so you know they’re safe, relaxed, and well cared for. My goal is always to create a low-stress environment where your pets can feel secure until you return. I take pride in being trustworthy, dependable, and respectful of both your animals and your home.
About: I’ve taken care of puppies to elderly dogs starting when I was 11. I love all animals and have cared for many from extremely anxious dogs to very active ones. I’m home from college for the summer and have a lot of free time, I would love to spend my summer with your adorable pets! Over my years of experience I have watched dogs in different settings (their home and mine) but I often find they are more comfortable in their home, especially if they are naturally more anxious animals.
“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!”
“Bryan had absolutely incredible energy with our dogs. I’ve never seen them so calm around a new person before. He was also a great communicator during the stay at our home, took good care of both the dogs and our space, and made sure to stay in close contact about departures and arrival times. He was both flexible and organized - really a great person to work with. Highly recommend!”
“Aurelia was absolutely wonderful. We needed a last-minute house and dog sitter for our three dogs, and she stepped in without hesitation. From the start, communication was great, she sent so many photos annd updates and it was immediately clear that she genuinely cared about the dogs and treated them like her own. I wouldn't hesitate to book Aurelia again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable sitter. We're so grateful for her help!”
“Sarah was an incredible sitter for our dog. She sent us loads of pictures and was really thoughtful in her timing and extent of care for our high-energy dog. The house was also in great shape upon our return. Her communication from start (we requested her super last minute) to finish was perfection! And we came home to a very worn out pup :)”
“We feel so grateful to have Ayla and Han as Archie's petsitter. They have become his favorite people! And we always confident and secure that he is loved and taken care of.”
“Michael sent lots of pictures and kept in communication while I was gone which kept me at ease. Holden had a good time with Michael while I was gone and took great care of my house.”
“Madison took great care of my two golden retriever pups while I was on vacation! She respected our house and sent plenty of updates while I was away! She was easy to get a hold of and was super accommodating! Would definitely recommend her :)”
“Jennifer is an amazing dog sitter. lm an anxious dog mom and I was so comfortable being away from my baby with Jennifer watching her. She sent lots of updates, gave her lots of love and exercise. Even organized play dates with my neighbors pup since they’re buddies. Also left the house spotless, watered my plants and left my mail/ packages organized on the counter. She’s one of the best I’ve ever had. Will definitely book with Jennifer next time I’m out of town!”
“Tessa watched our dog Canyon in our home for a week in March 2026. Tessa took excellent care of Canyon, provided us with periodic updates and pictures throughout her stay! As an over-the-top and unexpected gesture, Tessa even picked up the backyard, washed any linens she used during her stay, and left our home better than she found it. Tessa is now our preferred sitter and we will definitely ask her first when we next need a sitter.”

Riese did a fantastic job. Riese is very pleasant, kind & has a very calm demeanor which I feel helps both the pet & human. Gracie took to Riese right away on our first meeting. Riese always kept me informed on how Gracie was doing. & worked out well for us. I would highly recommend Riese. I will forsure ask Riese to help us out again in the future.
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 June 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 June 2026, there are 4,729 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.
