“Kendra is AWESOME! She was the first stranger I left my dog with and she put my mind at ease all weekend. She sent lots of pictures and was very communicative. I appreciate her more than she knows and so does my pup! He said to give her 5 stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Angela did great with our bulldog! She stayed over at my house for a weekend and left the house as clean as when we left. She followed instructions very well and sent great updates throughout the day. She also reached out when she was concerned about our dog’s allergies and that was extremely kind of her! Would definitely book again!”
“Sarah was absolutely wonderful with our two dogs S’mores and Knox. She came over and met them before dog sitting for the weekend which was really appreciated. She took great care of them, and one of them is a little people shy but he absolutely warmed up to her very fast! Couldn’t recommend her enough!!”
“Cassandra was amazing. She was so patient with my rambunctious pup and gave him lots of play time. She also was very attentive to my older dog and tended to her anxiety during storms that came through during her stay. Cassandra was very responsive, sent me detailed daily texts and photos. I know my dogs loved her because she told me how they cuddled with her. I highly recommend her and will definitely hire Cassandra again for my housesitting needs.”
“Eboni handled my pets very well! I have a mini pig who is constantly testing and needs lots of attention and firm instruction and Eboni handled it very well and I came home to a very happy pig. She also cared for my chickens well. Eboni is a quick learner and respects the rules you have for your pets and your home and gives them lots of love and attention. She is also someone I was very comfortable leaving alone in my home and left things neat and clean after a few days pet sitting. I highly recommend her.”
“Regina is great! My puppies just love her and I highly recommend her! One of my pups is very skittish and he warmed right up to Regina and even ate his dinner for her. Thank you so much Regina for watching my pups! Sherry Seale”
“Dakota stayed in our home and took excellent care of our pets. I received updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. He worked with our challenging Doberdane to make her comfortable with him. He is reliable, communicative, and clearly loves animals. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for a responsible and kind pet sitter.”
“Our first time using Rover and Rachel; she was fantastic with our 3 dogs!! Rachel sent pictures and/or videos daily; stayed overnight for a week and we came home to happy pups!! When we got home they fur kids we so happy to see us but then would run over to Rachel as well, which told me they had a blast!! Thank you so much!!!”
“Ty provided exceptional care for our dogs, demonstrating genuine love and understanding of their needs. His regular updates and photos helped ease our worries while we were away. Knowing that both our high-energy and reactive dogs were well cared for and enjoyed their time with him is invaluable. Will definitely be booking with Ty again!”
“Maria did a great job taking care of Koda! She was patient and understanding with him, especially since he can be a little shy at first. She gave him the time he needed to warm up and made sure he was comfortable and cared for the entire time. Would definitely book again.”
About: My mom and I originally shared this Rover account, and now I’m taking it over myself. I’ve helped care for pets through the account and have also been pet sitting for family, friends, and clients for years. Your pet deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away and you deserve peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. With years of experience caring for pets for family, friends, and through Rover, I understand how important it is to have someone you can truly trust. I’ll take the time to learn your pet’s routine, personality, and specific needs so their day can feel as normal as possible while you’re gone. Whether your pet needs a walk, potty break, meals, playtime, cuddles, or simply some company, I’ll make sure they’re safe, happy, and getting the attention they deserve. I carefully follow your instructions and pay attention to the little things, because I know every pet is different.You’ll also receive updates and photos during visits so you never have to wonder how your fur baby is doing. My goal is to make being away from your pet easier for you and stress-free for them.You can relax knowing your pet is cared for with patience, attention, and lots of love. 🐾💕 I have a flexible schedule, so I can accommodate morning, afternoon, evening, and last-minute bookings. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine, allowing me to give each pet plenty of attention and care. I have a safe and loving environment to cater to your pet needs. I have a fenced home for your pet to run and play and to enjoy their stay. I have 2 dogs. I could also come to your home to provided loving care for your pets.
“Morgan was an absolutely wonderful sitter for my dog, Remington! She is so sweet, kind, and professional. She kept me updated with pictures and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that Remington was well cared for and comfortable with her. Morgan is an excellent communicator and made the entire experience easy and stress-free. Morgan even cleaned Remington’s dishes and followed the feeding instructions exactly perfectly! I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter! 💗🐾⭐️”
“Omg… KELILA IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. So kind, so helpful and most importantly my baby loved her so mix. She was the best sitter I have ever had, and I will definitely be using her again. Thank you Kelila.”
“I was so pleased with Tania, would I book her again absolutely. I probably have to leave Kittycat no more than twice a year and so she is not use to having a person she doesn’t know live in her house, but Tania loved her and took care of her so well the pictures that Tania sent showed how Kittycat was completely comfortable and well looked after. Thank you again Tania.”
About: I will always love your fur baby like my own and I can assure you I will make sure they get the care they need while in my care. I’m currently a stay at home mom to two teenage girls who are home schooled. It is always someone at home to supervise your fur baby. My home is clean, pet-friendly, and free of hazards, with secure doors and windows, safe storage for cleaning products and medications, and constant supervision whenever pets are in my care. I also follow each pet’s routine, monitor their behavior closely, and provide a calm, stress-free environment so they can feel safe and at home.
About: I love animals. They are there for you when you need them and they love us as much as we love them. Sometimes their love is more than we deserve. I want to help you show your pet that you care for them even if you’re away. I enjoy high energy activities that help dogs get the movement they need to stay healthy. I will always keep above average standards for all my interactions with your pets. My main concern is that you feel comfortable leaving your loved one in my care. In the past I have worked with boxers, pit bulls, bull mastiffs, shitzus, cats, lizards, snakes, dolphins and much more. My availability ranges from one time services to repeat customers. My main concern is the health and safety of your fuzzy family member(s). I am blessed to have flexibility and can fit pet care in to my daily routine. This makes me ideal for times when finding a sitter, walker, etc. is challenging. I have a fenced yard and live near 2 large parks. Everyday I practice movement for at least 45 mins, so I will be able to keep up during walks. As an observer, I pay attention to details that could potentially put any sentient being I’m with in harms way. I create a plan and make sure I am vigilant at all times.

FAQs for House Sitting - Wilmer
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 3,413 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Wilmer. 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 Wilmer 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 Wilmer 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 Wilmer 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.

- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
