“Sarah did a fantastic job watching my two pups. She has a special way with animals. One of mine dogs is a troubled eater and somehow she got him to eat his food after every meal. She sent updates and asked good questions. I will definitely use her again when needed!”
“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!”
About: I have over 5 years of experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. 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.
“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.”
“Morgan is an amazing house sitter for Remington! This is our second time booking because WE LOVE MORGAN!! 💗 She is communicative, kind, and kept me updated with pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind. Remington is clearly well cared for and adores Morgan, and my home was once again left in great condition. I will absolutely book with Morgan again! ⭐️”
“Kali is amazing! Our dogs get so excited to see her, and settle right into her presence as soon as she arrives. She's a great communicator and very punctual. Will continue to book!”
“Amanda was the most attentive and caring sitter we have had. She communicated daily and was able to helpy sweet old man eat and stay well while I was away. We will definitely use her again!”
“Ty did a fantastic job taking care of our anxious pups! He provided photos/video updates daily and we could see how happy our dogs were. Not only did he provide loving care with walks, playtime, and cuddles; but he also did personal training sessions with our dogs as well to help improve their behavior. He is professional, knowledgeable, responsive, and experienced. We will definitely book with Ty again!”
“Dakota was great with our animals. They are a handful of a group, so it was awesome that Dakota was able to handle them. He was also very good about keeping in contact and keeping me in the loop!”
“Regina did an amazing job taking care of my babies while we where out the country. Her flexibility made it so easy for my babies to adjust to our absence. Will definitely use her again.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Wilmer
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 3,400 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.
