We couldn’t have asked for better care of our animals and house while we were away. Sarah did a great job keeping us updated on our pets and really did an outstanding job.

About: I have been taking care of animals since I was 7 years old. I grew up on an acreage and we always had cats and dogs. I can administer shots and medication and have experience bottle feeding kittens and bunnies. I love animals and understand that each one is different and deserves love. I am patient and careful with each pet, giving them the attention they need and feel most comfortable with. I have a soft spot for senior animals. I am a teacher, so I am available all summer for your pet sitting needs! During the school year, I am only available on the weekends or after school check-ins. I will follow all directions and rules for taking care of your pet(s). Each one is special and I understand they all have their own needs. I am great at going with the flow with your pet and letting them lead the activity.

Darla was AMAZING while dogistting our two black labs!! We were across the country for a wedding and one of my dogs started getting sick. She was great with communicating with me and keeping me up to date on how my dog was doing while also going the extra mile to provide extra care by cooking chicken and rice so that my dog was able to settle its stomach. Darla was up multiple times during the nights caring for my sick pup and I can't thank her enough for showing so much care and love for my dogs while we were away. I will absolutely be going to Darla for future dogsitting needs. She's so GREAT!

About: I grew up with lots of animals and have been helped people with there animals and know how to take care and stay on schedule I mostly work afternoons which are typically 8 hour shifts. I can wake up early, and also stop by late at night. I usually am not busy in the morning or on weekends. I currently have a fenced in yard with a pool, so I know how to guide your dog around areas that maybe aren’t the best for them!

Ashlee was wonderful with my senior pup who needed a LOT of extra care. She ensured that I, the worried mom, got tons of photos and updates throughout my time away. She really put me at ease and handled the many needs of my older sick pup with great care, kindness, and professionalism. She stayed at my home with my pup and left the house in great shape. We will certainly be asking her to watch our dog again in the future.

Brianna was such a huge help! She stayed at our house for 10 days and took great care of our two dogs. She was very communicative and respectful, making sure we received plenty of updates. Our house was just as clean, if not cleaner, than when we left it. It was so nice feeling at ease while we were away from the dogs for so long. Highly recommend!

About: I’ve been a pet owner since I was a child. I have had 3 dogs and 5 cats in my life to date. I have worked at potty and trick training. When others say their animals are scared of new people, they are attracted to me. I currently work Monday through Friday. I can work nights usually after 5 pm, anytime during the weekend hours and the occasional last minute weekday. I live in a quiet neighborhood and love to go for walks. I would love to take your pet with too! I am very reliable and I’m here to help with any of your pet care needs. I keep my home clean and tidy and I would help to maintain this in your home as well for your pet care needs.

We booked Jason for house sitting with our dog who has separation anxiety and does not do well in a boarding environment. Jason is great with our dog! Jason came into our house and our dog immediately migrated to him. Jason provided ample walks and gave our dog personalized attention. His wife Emily is also a dog sitter on this site and she has watched our dog too! She is also amazing! We will only be using their services for our dog! We love the husband and wife team!

I cannot say enough great things about Jack… His professionalism is top-notch, and his care for my two dogs could not have been better. He kept them on their routine with feeding and medicine, he was great, giving them daily exercise and care, and he just literally checks every box perfectly, and I felt lucky to have him as did my dogs

About: Three years kennel/shelter experience. I have trained retrievers for 10 years. My family has fostered dogs my whole life. I have also owned a wide variety of small and exotic animals. My home currently has three medium sized dogs and two turtles... With plenty of room for your babies ;) I am currently working part time. About 3 hours 2-3 times a week, so most of my time is spent at home with my animals. I have a fully fenced yard and a pool with an automatic cover. My youngest dog sleeps in a kennel and my two older sleep in bedrooms with us. I am more than willing to kennel my dogs while I am not home for your pet's comfort.

Declan was a wonderful help to us as we had a last minute booking due to a death in the family. Our dog had just been spayed 5 days earlier and needed special care. He took great care of our girl while we travelled to the funeral. We will be booking with him again.

Amazing! First time we used this service and were nervous. Alexandra came to the house so I could go over everything. She was all about doing "whatever made the pups comfortable". They loved her and didn't look stressed at all. She sent pics every day and our house was left better than when she arrived! Would use her again in a heartbeat next time we go away!!

FAQs for House Sitting - Wilmot

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Wilmot on Rover is $41.63 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 1,408 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Wilmot. 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 Wilmot 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 Wilmot 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 Wilmot 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Wilmot. On Rover:

  • 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% can help with daily exercise

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.
