“I was very nervous about leaving my dog with someone other than family. I found Rover while looking for a place to board her. I was able to find and interview potential sitters. Callie stood out to me as when she come over for the interview she had treats with her and my dog fell in love with her instantly! Although it was difficult for me to leave my dog I felt the love Callie had for dogs and it put my mind at ease. She took many pictures of my baby to show she was fine. She took her for a nice long walk which I know Coco loved. I couldn’t be happier!”
“Mikayla was awesome with our girls and very professional with our house while we were out of town. We came home to happy dogs and a clean home, she was also very good about communication both before and during the trip. Will absolutely use her again.”
“Andrea was great with our boys!! She shared photos regularly and was communicative about her timing and any questions upon arrival. We would love to have her sit for the boys again!”
“Jordan has been with us for awhile, and we are very pleased with the way completes the job and making sure to communicate with us with any concerns or just to share funny photos of our fur pets. Keep up the good work 👍”
“Jessica took wonderful care of our 11yr old pup who is going blind & almost completely deaf! She followed our instructions, kept him happy, took him on walks, gave him medicine, cuddled with him, basically the works! She sent pictures & updates about 3x a day, which made us feel at ease. I would highly recommend her to anyone! Thanks Jessica!!”
“Sarah was great! She took the time to meet with me ahead of time to review Lucy's special needs. She even did research ahead of time so she would be familiar with her disorder. She arrived on time and communicated quickly every time I reached out. Lucy seemed very happy upon my return. She helped keep the house in order and even watered my plants. She is extremely kind and caring. I have fully confidence in leaving Lucy in her care. I will definitely continue to request Sarah as I need assistance.”
“This was our first experience having someone come into our home to watch our fur babies. Emily was incredible, she kept us updated on how they were doing and sending us pictures daily. We are very happy with her care and will be calling her again. Our fur babies loved her as well!”
“I really can't say enough about April!! She sent me daily photos and updates. I hate having to leave our puppy, but never worried once that he was in good hands!! I will check her availability first before even planning time away! Thank you so much again April!!”
“Michael took care of our 2 german shepherds and our bengal cat while we were on vacation, he was excellent to work with and made sure our dogs got their medications and play time. He had a genuine caring for our pets and is studying to become a vet. I would not hesitate to use him again in the future.”
“We had a great experience with Rachael! She was able to accommodate our last-minute request, was incredibly flexible with timing, and made the entire process stress-free. Most importantly, we felt completely confident that our puppy, Zeke, and cat, Ophie, were in excellent hands. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were being well cared for while we were away. We would happily book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.”
“I would highly recommend Melissa to anyone and will absolutely be using her again for future bookings! She took great care of mine and my sister's dogs and was very attentive to their needs! My dog is high anxiety and my sister's dog is an old lady with very particular and sometimes difficult eating habits, but we felt at ease knowing she was taking care of them. She sent photos through the day, as well as a couple of updates each day. She did ask for my preference for how I would like to receive updates, including how often. She was very accommodating!! Lastly, the house was left nice and clean, which was great to come home to after a week away!”
“Veronica was fantastic! The girls really loved her and she kept us updated with pictures. It was a great comfort to know the girls were in such good hands. We and the girls look forward to you babysitting in the future.”
About: Animals have been a constant throughout my life. My very first pet care job was looking after my neighbor's beagle, Tessie, when I was just ten years old — and I haven't stopped since. I grew up with cats, have fostered rescue animals, and was a devoted owner to Mowgli, my FIV-positive cat who taught me so much about attentive, specialized care. While I'm proudly a cat person at heart, I adore dogs just as much and have happily cared for friends' and roommates' dogs over the years. I believe pets are happiest when they feel safe in their own space with their routine intact. I love sending regular updates and photos as often as you'd like, so you can relax knowing your furry family member is in great hands. Having traveled frequently for work, I know firsthand how much peace of mind it means to trust someone completely with your home and your pet. I always made sure whoever looked after my cat Mowgli was competent, warm, and reliable — and that's exactly the caretaker I aim to be for you. I work from home in tech so pet care fits into my life which means I’m present throughout the day. No long stretches where your pet is left alone wondering where everyone went. My schedule is flexible enough to accommodate feeding times, walks, play sessions, and plenty of cuddle breaks. I’ve spent years moving between cities and adapting to new environments quickly, so settling into someone else’s home and routine comes easily to me. My number one priority is making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and unstressed in their own space. I believe animals do best when their routine stays as close to normal as possible, so I’ll follow your instructions closely. I grew up with cats, have fostered rescues, and cared for my own cat Mowgli, who was FIV-positive and required extra attentiveness. I’ve also looked after dogs of all sizes through friends and roommates over the years. That range of experience means I’m comfortable handling pets with different personalities, needs, and quirks. You’ll hear from me regularly. Photos, updates, and check-ins as often as you like — because I know from personal experience how much it matters to feel confident in the person looking after your pet.
“Wren was very communicative with me and asked lots of good questions about Moose. He sent us lots of pictures and updates. Moose is very sensitive but Wren was very patient with him and took care of his extra needs. We’ll definitely be working with Wren again!”
About: Hello! My name is Emily, and I have been working with animals for over 10 years now. I have owned my own pet sitting business since I was young and have worked in kennels and dog daycares. I have experience dealing with all kinds of animals, but dogs are my favorite! I am currently a full time dog trainer so I have experience with all breeds, ages and temperaments so please let me know if you are interested in my services, I would love to meet you and your dog! I also am able to do a little training with your fur baby while I stay with them if needed! I will make sure that your dog is well cared for and well loved, I love hiking, walking and just being outside so your pup will get lots of exercise when with me. I work full time, but usually get out of work on the earlier side and sometimes work can be flexible with hours so if I have to change them I can try. When I sit in your home I am very respectful. I will keep your house clean and take care of your dog as if they were my own.

FAQs for House Sitting - Wilton
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 1,187 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.
