“Jennipher was great with our fur babies! Lucy is older and requires special attention and insulin shots twice a day. Jennipher took extra special care of her. Bear loved her also. She is very attentive to their needs. Our house was spotless when we returned and both dogs were happy. It was nice to be able to go on vacation and not worry about them. She is awesome and sends great pictures/updates.”
“She is very kind and caring and did a fabulous job taking care of our Star while we were out of town. She was also very responsive and we will definitely hire her again in the future.”
About: I had my sweet Sparky for over 17 years and glad to walk my sweet granddog now. I read to my granddog so that’s fun! I would like to give lots of pets, walks, and attention to yours! I recently retired for the second time. Former librarian and kind of the caretaker-type (I even read the book SnugglePuppy to my granddog!) I have time these days and while not wanting to have a full time pet, would like to help you take care of yours! I have a fenced in backyard so can let your dog in/out as needed. Enjoy taking walks-in my neighborhood or let me know if we can walk on the Legacy Park trail as it is close to my house and I take my granddog there when I watch her!
“Alex did an awesome job with our furbabies Lucy and Bear. Lucy is a diabetic and Alex had no problems giving the insulin shots to her. Would recommend her and we will definitely be using her again.”
“Holly was fabulous! She took such good care of our Jax and Bailey while we were on vacation in Mexico! They both loved her, as was evident from the photos she sent regularly. She gave them lots of love and attention and went out of her way with some extras as well! Great communication and very respectful of our home while visiting. We were able to thoroughly enjoy our vacation knowing they were in good hands. Highly recommend and I hope she will consider sitting again!”
About: Looking for a side job to not only help pet owners but to help me get a foot into my passion with working with animals. I have taken care of and owned cats dogs fish birds and even squirrels, I have been born and raised in a pet household owning my first pet when I was 12. I've taken care of quite a few animals, sick cats and kittens, with recently temporarily fostering a very sick kitten. I have pet set for both family and neighbor a few times. I enjoy working with animals and even enjoy teaching basic tricks and training. I work a full time job however I'm trying to get my foot into working more with animals as well at making some side cash, I'm free Fridays and Saturdays, but I do have limited freedom on Thursdays and Sundays. I unfortunately can't do boarding/ pet sitting at my own house do to my cats and family, but otherwise I can at pet owners home.
“Drew did a great job. We were out of the country for 10 days and he stayed in our home with our ‘kids’. We received multiple updates a day. Came home and the house was spotless. Everyone was chilled and happy. We HIGHLY recommend Drew for house sitting your pets. We will use him again, without thinking twice. Thank you Drew!!”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and have over 5 years of experience caring for them. I’m confident with all breeds, sizes, and energy levels. Whether your pup needs walks, playtime, or just a cuddle buddy while you’re away, I’ll treat them like family. I’m also comfortable with feeding routines, crate training, and keeping them safe, happy, and loved at all times. I’m a local property manager, just minutes from home, so I can drop in during lunch breaks, after work, and on weekends. I take my own dog to the park every evening for about two hours so he can play and socialize—your pup can join the fun if you’d like! I’m fully available after noon on Fridays and completely free on weekends for boarding, walks, or drop-ins. I treat every dog like family and make sure they feel safe, loved, and entertained. I care for every dog as if they’re my own. While I don’t have a fenced yard, I always take dogs out on leash for potty breaks and walks. Inside my home, pets have a safe, clean, and calm space to relax and feel comfortable. I do have one puppy of my own—he’s super loving and playful, and I always make sure visiting dogs are comfortable and properly introduced. When caring for dogs in their own home, I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding routines, crate preferences, and walk schedules. I also send regular updates and photos so you always know how your dog is doing. Safety, trust, and comfort are always my top priorities.

“Kyle was fantastic with our two larger dogs and our aloof cat! He was super responsive and kept us in the loop on the happenings around our house while he house/petsat the weekend. Would definitely rebook him again!”
About: I work in nursing and I love animals just as I love people I’ve been taking care of animals often on for the past six years. I’ve been in nursing for 10. I love spending time with animals especially my fur babies. I work overnights two days a week in a hospital, so I’m very flexible. It helps because I make my own schedule and I have my schedule out in advance. i also love going on trial walks and dog parks to let the fur babies run off that energy and have fun . I try to stick to a routine and keep them on schedule, of course show them love and affection as well. I keep them safe by being aware of my surroundings, and just interacting with them
“Tia is awesome!! She and our dogs got along great. We had easy communication and received daily messages with photos about their daily activities together. Tia even did some training with Gracie. Also, the house was immaculate. Tia is very sweet, clearly loves dogs and she was committed to doing a wonderful job while we were on vacation.”
“Meagan is the best- I am SO lucky we found her to watch our dogs while on vacation. She did such a great job taking care of our high energy dogs and they loved her. It was a relief to know they were in her hands! Meagan is responsible, clean, communicative, and so so kind!!!! 10000/10 will book with her again.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for many years and truly enjoy spending time with them. I live in a house in Miami with a fenced yard, perfect for safe playtime and exercise. Pets in my care are treated like family — they get plenty of attention, walks, and affection. I’m home most of the day, so your dog will never be left alone for long. Whether it’s a playful puppy or a calm senior dog, I always make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and happy during their stay. I work from home most of the week, which allows me to give constant attention and care to your pets. I have plenty of time to play, walk, and make sure every dog feels safe and happy. I’m available for boarding during the week and weekends, with flexible hours for drop-off and pick-up. My home is a safe and loving environment with a fenced yard for outdoor play. Pets are always supervised, and I keep the space clean and comfortable. I can provide crate time if needed and ensure every dog gets the right balance of fun, rest, and affection. Your pup will feel at home from the moment they arrive!

FAQs for House Sitting - Wingate
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 725 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Wingate. 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 Wingate 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 Wingate 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 Wingate 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
