“Amazing, start to finish! Leo's communication with me was thorough and professional, and his time with Vivi was so caring and loving. As an older pup, she just needs lots of love, attention, and a few walks...and Leo goes above and beyond to accommodate her. He absolutely loves animals and it shows! Leo is my #1 go-to pet caregiver. Thank you, Leo!”
About: I have been caring for both cats and dogs for 10 years! I grew up with a pitbull, mini poodle, and recently adopted a jack russell, so I am well rounded when it comes to different sizes and temperaments of dogs. I also volunteer at a vivarium and have 4 years of experience when it comes to fish and reptile care if that is something you are interested in! I am very comfortable when it comes to caring for young and senior pets! I currently am a full time student at Sac State, but I have a lot of online course work. This allows me to have plenty of time I can spend with pets. At the latest, I get back from classes at 5-6pm, but many days I am able to arrange my schedule as to where I am only on campus until 1pm or even no classes at all! I also have full weekend availability I am very patient and calm, I have worked with pets who are more wary of strangers in the past, but I make sure they have the opportunity to come to me as they get to know me. I follow instructions very well and however the pet parent tells me to approach their baby is how I do it!
About: I am a dedicated and experienced pet lover with 9 years of hands-on pet care experience. I raised my female Pit Bull Terrier from the time she was just 2 months old and cared for her throughout every stage of her life. During that time, I provided daily care, companionship, and basic training, teaching her commands such as sit, shake, lay down, high five, and dance. I recently lost her, which has only strengthened my love and respect for animals. I would be honored to provide attentive, patient, and loving care while helping train and enrich your pet’s daily routine. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine. I currently work nights, which gives me full availability during the day to provide attentive pet sitting in my home or yours. I truly enjoy starting my mornings and afternoons with walks or jogs, making it easy for me to give pets consistent exercise, companionship, and care throughout the day. Your pet would receive plenty of attention, activity, and a calm, structured daytime routine. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are my top priorities. I have a secure cement backyard and a pool that is closely monitored to ensure a safe environment at all times. I also live extremely close to a park with a large open field, perfect for supervised walks, exercise, and play. Inside, my home is spacious and pet-friendly, allowing pets to freely roam, relax, and feel comfortable in a safe, trusted environment that makes them feel at home!
“Kerstin stayed at my house to babysit my dog over this past weekend. She was super easy to communicate with and sent tons of pics. We appreciated her help so much!”
“I reached out to Pedro as our dog has some leash aggression issues and needs an experienced hand on his walks. Our dog immediately warmed up to Pedro and left us comfortable going away on a vacation. Pedro was great with our dog and sent updates with each walk as well as some great photos of our dog. We get pretty nervous when leaving our dog as he takes some work but Pedro made us feel comfortable the whole time that our boy was being properly taken care of. 10/10 will use again, and so should you!”

“Claudia was great with Willow! She’s patient with Willow’s very excited greeting, but does a good job at calming her right down. She spends time with her both in the house and in the backyard. She is prompt and reliable.”
“Karyna did such a fantastic job with my finicky, elderly little doggie. She was so tentative to him and all his needs. Great communication, updates and accommodation. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing he was in such good loving hands.”
“An absolute gem! Lilly was so great with my really high energy rottweiler. She sent me constant updates and photos. She left my house very neat and tidy. It was nice to come home to my happy dog and clean house.”
“Brina was fantastic. She bonded with our dog and two cats easily. She checked in daily with updates and reached out if she had questions. She left our house neat and tidy. She is kind and responsible. I highly recommend her.”
About: I have been a pet owner since I entered the world. Most of my experience is with dogs, but I do have two cats. As of now, most of my pet-sitting jobs have been for close family friends. I am just starting on my Rover journey. I am a college student who is looking to help pay for my college expenses. I'm only offering Friday-Sunday right now since I will be working during the week and don't have a flexible schedule. On the weekends, your dogs will have my full attention :) I do not provide care in my own home. I will work with you to ensure that your pet feels safe with me while I am in their space.
“Mia did a great job petsitting our 3 dogs, 2 cats and bunny for 4 days and 3 nights. She kept us updated with photos and everybody was happy and healthy when we got home. I would highly recommend her.”
About: I've been housesitting since 2010, mainly cats and dogs. Multi-pet houses don't bother me and I'm good at keeping with your fur kids' schedules. I have and RVT license that is current and have been an RVT for over 10 years. I took a break from housesitting to work at animal hospitals, including a 24-hour critical care hospital in the ICU. Medications and medical treatments are no problem for me. I have an open schedule and am comfortable with either staying at your home for your pet's comfort, or I can visit everyday to make sure they are cared for. I adjust to their wants and needs and stick to their schedule. I'm low stress and understand that sometimes pets just need to warm up to you. As for my personal pets, there's four cats with totally different personalities that run the house (I just live there).
About: I love animals and being able to assist people. I had two cotton de tulears growing up and have watched and cared for my friends chihuahua whenever she vacations. I am working a part time job with flexible hours and sometimes I also do work remotely so I can work with your schedule as much as time allows and with knowledge ahead of time. The way that I take care of houses and pets is the same because I do both based off of your instruction. I know that routine is important and I think where I really strive is listening to your wishes and communicating.

“Aicha has been so great with our dog. He has had some special needs at times and she is always accommodating and responsive with updates. We have had both last minute done drop requests and in-home stays and she has been awesome to work with. Highly recommend.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Wilton on Rover is $102.85 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 2,853 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Wilton. 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 Wilton 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 Wilton 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 Wilton 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.

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.
