“Sarah jumped in quickly when we had an unexpected change of plans! She was so responsive, kind, and trustworthy!! The dogs were happy and healthy and we were very appreciative!!”
“Gina was an excellent pet sitter, I can’t rave about her enough!! She went out of her way to accommodate me and my husband. I was due to deliver my baby within a few weeks when I had reached out to her. She was very flexible and was able to work with us given I had to be induced earlier than expected and had to stay in the hospital more days than expected. She took great care of our 3 boys- a Great Dane and 2 Lhasa apso’s. She was able to work with their special needs and administer oral and eye medications to one of them.”
About: I have 3 doggies of my own that I love. I have over 2 years of experience in pet care. I've worked with dogs of all ages and different breeds. I worked at a dog boarding facility and puppy store. I did a lot of feeding, cleaning, playtime and updates for owners. I have also given medications and cared for dogs with special needs. I'm not employed right now and I have a lot of free time. I can visit or stay with your pets as long as needed. I can safely care for your pets in your own home. I will follow any instructions and schedule of your pet. I will care for them as if they are mine.
About: Ive had pets my entire life, and my own dogs my entire adult life. I was a pet sitter in collage and have watched friends and families dogs for years! I currently work 5 days a week in Seagoville, but am avaliable after in the evenings and weekends! Particularly for nightly walks or evening nights out! I am experienced with walking dogs of all sized and leash skills. My own two dogs are pullers and high energy on a leash! I am more than comfortable feeding and administering oral medications!
About: I've had animals in my life since birth, literally. My mom is a veterinarian and raised me to be just like her. It worked 😅 I am an aspiring veterinarian with a lifetime of experience when it comes to caring for the furry, scaly, aquatic, or just different members of the family! I have worked as a vet tech, so if your pet needs any sort of medication, I am highly qualified for medical administration as well. I am a full-time master's student at OSU. Most of my "free time" centers around the weekends but I do have more limited availability during the week as well. No matter where I am, I vow to provide any pet with the utmost amount of care. I specialize in belly rubs, butt scratches, and laser pointers. Also, if you want your pet's nails trimmed or anal glands expressed, I can do that too 😂
“Matthew was amazing! He was prompt, sent updates, and I’m just so happy with how well he took care of my furrbaby. Definitely recommend and I’m glad I found a great sitter for future times.”
“This was my first time leaving my dogs with anyone besides family and safe to say I was extremely nervous. However, Dakota made me feel comfortable and kept me updated every day that I was gone. My babies and my apartment were well taken care of. I will definitely be hiring him again. Thank you Dakota!”
About: I’ve had dogs since I was very young both big and small. My oldest dog passed at 16 years old so I have experience with senior pets. Calm and energetic, young and old, big and small I’ve done it all! I have a full time job but 3 days off a week (Sunday, Monday, Tuesday). I can come yours or they can come to mine. I do live in a pet friendly apartment which offers a dog park for your fur baby to run and play. I currently have no pets as my sole pup recently passed tragically so pets needing solo care (no other animals) is no issue. I have a large and smaller crate is that is something needed as well as food, treats, brushes, and shampoos for bathing.
“Clover was amazing with my two lab puppies! Taking one two puppy’s for a weekend can be a challenge. Clover checked in with me throughout the stay. Kept the puppies on their schedule. Sent the most adorable pictures! I highly recommend Clover to watch your fur babies. Thank you so much!”
About: I have many years of experience as a veterinary technician and am in school to become a veterinarian. I currently own three dogs (16, 8, 1.5 years), a cat (6 years), and have a fish tank. I've owned many other types of animals and many dogs in my life ranging in size, age, temperament, and breed. I just really love seeing everyone's furbabies and helping out where I can as I continue on my vet-med career field ;) I'm a full-time college student and currently work part-time certain days after classes. I generally have the most flexibility on weekends. I can also be flexible during the weekdays (except for Wednesdays) anytime after 2PM as long as I have at least 48 hours notice if it's a request of service the week of. I will only be offering walking and sitting for pets in the client's home/other, not my personal home. Depending on the pet, I like going to parks, trails, playing in the backyard, and or whatever the client needs. Play time is also a must!
About: I’ve lived with dogs my whole life, I’ve cared, helped, and loved for 10 dogs at one time. I trained, bathed, feed and provided all basic. I’ve had more than a dozen dogs who’ve been pregnant (not at once) but I do know how to care for a pregnant momma and new born puppies. I’m well aware of the do’s and don’ts of pet sitting. Monday - Friday, 6:00pm to midnight longer if needed. Saturday I’m free all day, I’m free Sunday in the morning until 10am and available after 1pm to the rest of the day I feed, bathe, and give them water and take care of all basic necessities. I take them on walks and to the park and give them lots of cuddles! :D
About: I have taken care of my moms friends dogs and cats since 7. Friends and family relied on me for taking care of their pets. I’m a part time student. I only go to classes 2 times a week on Tuesday’s and Thursday’s. I would love taking care of your pets during my free times. When I’m at a clients home and I let them outside I will keep a eye on them and play with them. I’ll make sure they are safe and sound.
About: I have taken care of dogs for over 20 years. I had a cocker spaniel for 12 years until her passing. I have dog sat and boarded small dogs for friends for many years. I love dogs but not sure if I’m ready to get my own again. Losing a pet is hard but working for Rover will allow me the companionship of animals while also determining if I’m ready to own another pet. I work full-time close to downtown Dallas but have time to check in on your pets midday and after work. I am also available on the weekends. I am available to board small and medium size dogs in my home in Seagoville. I have a fenced back yard. You will need to provide your own crates. I currently do not have any pets that live in my home. For boarded pets, I will walk them in my neighborhood. I am able to follow any special instructions needed for your pet.

“I would highly, highly recommend Kristie! She did such an amazing job with our dog Josie, who had just lost her sister a few days before we went away. Kristie made sure that Josie was comforted and had all the extra love and care so she didn't feel lonely. We also received daily pictures and updates so we knew Josie was well taken care of. Having lost a dog before we left, we were uneasy about leaving Josie behind. But Kristie made us feel 100% like Josie was in the best hands and we knew she genuinely cared for her like she was her own. That was very meaningful to us. And, when we returned home, Kristie left a very thoughtful gift for us, which was a plant in memory of the dog we had just lost. I can't say how much that meant to us. Again, highly, highly recommend Kristie!”
About: Hi there, my name is Jordynn. Proud dog mom to 4 pups. From as early I can remember animals have been a big part of my life and that’s why I’m the friend everyone calls when they need someone to watch their pets. I’m new to Rover. It wasn’t until a recent trip of mine where our sitter canceled last minute that I signed up for and used this service. That Rover sitter was a life savor and I knew I wanted to be that life savor for other people. I’ve taken care of a wide array of breeds from frenchies to pitbulls of all ages. I have 3+ years experience with misunderstood dogs such as trauma survivors or dogs labeled “aggressive”. I pride myself on providing every animal a loving and safe experience where they can be themselves and feel as relaxed as possible while their owners are away. I know how stressful it can be leaving your baby in the hands of someone else and I assure you I will help relieve you of all of that stress. Photos and communication are my speciality. Looking forward to meeting you and your furbabies 🐶🐱 I currently work as an independent contractor for videography so i have a very flexible schedule but making sure pets in my care get all the potty breaks and attention they need comes first. I will diligently follow any guidelines provided to me from the customer and treat any home or furbaby with the same high level of respect I treat my own home and furbabies with.

FAQs for House Sitting - Wilmer
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 3,300 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 , 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 .
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
