“Makinzie was great! She was willing to help with an overnight weekend stay on really short notice. She took great care of my dog and was very communicative throughout. Would recommend and will book again.”

“Joanna was great! She gave the perfect amount updates on my greyhound, Minerva while we were away and she kept our house super neat and clean. Minerva was so relaxed when we got home so we know she had a great weekend too! Would highly recommend!”
“Katie was absolutely phenomenal with my dogs! One of them wasn’t feeling their best unexpectedly, and she went above and beyond to make sure they were comfortable and cared for. She was so attentive, thoughtful, and kept me updated every step of the way. You can truly see how much she loves animals and how naturally it comes to her. My dogs adored her, and I had complete peace of mind knowing they were in such loving hands. Katie is a well-rounded, responsible, and compassionate young woman—I can’t recommend her enough. I would hire her again in a heartbeat and recommend her to anyone looking for amazing pet care!”

“Abigail was a great sitter for our dogs. We could tell from the meet and greet that she genuinely cared for them. She took great care of them while we were gone, even as one of our dogs was dealing with an upset stomach. Abigail kept us updated with texts and pictures throughout her time with them. We highly recommend her to anyone looking to hire a sitter.”

“Tim did a great job staying overnight two nights caring for our pit bull mix and our cat. He provided updates and photos and our pets were happy when we arrived home. We highly recommend him!”


About: My family has always been an animal house; I have 3 dogs, a cat and a bird! I also have been housesitting and petsitting dogs and cats for my neighbors since I was 12-13. Additionally, I’ve volunteered at my local animal shelter (Main Line Animal Rescue) by going through dog walk orientation and worked with all sorts of dogs. I am excited to help others out and watch over their pets using my experience! I’m home for the summer from college, so I have plenty of free time! I am available for dog walking, housesitting, or overnight sitting during days of the week and also weekends. I make sure to always pay attention to each pet and see what they need according to what the owner needs (food, water, bathroom time, playtime, walks) and make sure to keep an eye on them, as well as adjusting to what they prefer - whether it be a lot of pets or just some company! I am experienced with walking a lot of different dogs and will give them plenty of love and attention.
“Julie is top notch. She sent us pictures and updates everyday. Made sure to let me know how much Blake ate and drank while we were gone. Our house looked exactly the way we left it when we got home. I have already recommended her to family and friends. Thank you again Julie Tammy, Scott and Blake ❤️”

About: I have had dogs all for all of my life, and I have been pet sitting for 8 years. I will care for your pet as if they were my own! I work a full-time but flexible position that allows me to maintain a dependable schedule for pet care. Because I do not work weekends or most holidays, I’m able to dedicate extra time and attention to the pets in my care during those periods. I’m also available for overnight stays throughout the week, ensuring your pets can remain comfortable and cared for in their own home. I strive to provide reliable, attentive care while keeping your pets’ routines as consistent and stress free as possible. I provide calm, reliable care so your dogs can stay comfortable in their familiar environment while you’re away. I make sure each pet gets personalized attention, including feeding, walks, playtime, and medication administration if needed. I’m attentive to routines and behavior changes, and I keep owners updated with regular photos and messages for peace of mind. I aim to make your pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for.
About: Hey there! My name is Emily and I am a recent grad who has moved back to the area. I have always been an animal lover, and during grad school, I was able to broaden my animal care experiences! I am a dog mom to a German Shepherd named Gemma. She is a rescue and dog-reactive (but loves all people!), so I have extensive experience with walking and handling reactive dogs! Rest assured, when I care for your pets, Gemma will NOT be present. I was an avid foster and volunteer while in grad school for organizations such as Big Paws of the Ozarks, Fayetteville Animal Services, and Best Friends Resource Center. We have had fosters of a variety of ages and breeds. Additionally, I spent most of my Saturdays at the local farmers market with an adoptable shelter pup working on socialization and leash skills with fellow volunteers. Lastly, before moving, I was also a part-time employee at a pet resort that offered daycare, boarding, and grooming services. Hereto, I was able to care for even more dogs (and even some cats!). I am passionate about animal care and would love to take care of your pets, whether it be for walks, check-ins, or house sitting. Please feel free to reach out with any questions. I am happy to chat :) I am currently located around the 19464/19343 area. Note: I am able to do check-in visits for cats and hang out for a bit, but cannot house sit because I am allergic. As a recent grad on the job market, I have a ton of free time to take care of your pets! Whether it be morning, midday, or evening walks or check-ins, I’m your gal! In your home, whether it be for a walk, check-in, or housesitting, I am happy to follow any rules that you have in mind! Since I am used to walking a reactive dog, I am extremely observant on walks for anything that might trigger a reaction.

About: Throughout high school I worked for Stoney Creek Vet Hospital where I was a vet tech assistant. I have also dog sat several times for friends and have many pets of my own. I am currently not working so I am very available at any time throughout the week. I also have a car so I am easily able to go places. I have 4 dogs at home so I am currently only going to client homes. I am a big pet lover, I am very punctual, and I will always be responsible when caring for your pets.
About: I’m an active student home for the summer who loves dogs, cats, and animals of all kinds! I grew up with dogs and have been caring for pets since I was 10 years old. Spending time with animals has always been one of my favorite things, and pet sitting is a wonderful way for me to do something I genuinely enjoy while helping owners feel confident their pets are in great hands. I bring patience, compassion, and attentiveness to every animal I care for. I have experience with puppies, including basic training and housebreaking, and I take a gentle, calm approach with senior pets to help them feel comfortable and secure. I’m also comfortable maintaining routines, administering medications, and adapting to each pet’s unique personality and needs. Reliability, communication, and genuine care are extremely important to me. Whether your pet needs a long walk, playtime, extra snuggles, or simply a dependable companion while you’re away, I’m happy to help. I’m experienced with dogs, cats, and even exotic pets such as chinchillas. And of course, you can expect plenty of photo updates of your furry family member relaxing, playing, and having fun! I am a full time student at Northeastern University, home for the summer! I have a very flexible schedule, and happy to accommodate! Your furry friend will get lots of snuggles and exercise. On nice days, I enjoy going on walks at Marsh Creek and French Creek. I am always willing to explore new areas or dog parks if that is something your dog enjoys! When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I prioritize safety, comfort, and consistency. I follow each pet’s routine closely, from feeding schedules to exercise, so they feel secure and relaxed. I keep the environment safe by pet-proofing spaces as needed, checking for hazards, and ensuring doors, gates, and enclosures are always secure. My focus is on creating a calm, positive environment where pets feel at ease. I also send regular updates, so owners can see how their pets are doing, building trust and peace of mind throughout my time with them. When going on walks with pets, I ensure they stay safe and engaged by choosing familiar, pet-friendly routes and always keeping them on a secure leash. I’m attentive to their behavior, making sure they’re comfortable, and I avoid any potentially stressful situations. If your dog has any special needs or diets, please let me know so I can be sure to accommodate them and ensure they have the best stay possible!

“Tristan did an amazing job watching my dog Riley! This was a last minute trip and my dog has chronic health issues (IBD and ear infections). Tristan handled his care perfectly, and he communicated everything in detail! It was such a relief to find a sitter I can fully trust. I couldn’t recommend him more.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Wilsons Corner
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Wilsons Corner on Rover is $55.5 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 5,286 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Wilsons Corner. 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 Wilsons Corner 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 Wilsons Corner 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 Wilsons Corner 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.

- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 97% 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.
