About: I've been caring for dogs for the past 7 years, beginning when my former boss asked me to care for his dogs while he and his family were away on vacation. Since then, my experience has grown through caring for dogs from more than 25 families. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, ranging from 10 pounds to over 100 pounds, as well as dogs who require medications or have special needs. I'm comfortable adapting to each dog's individual routine, personality, and care requirements. I take pride in providing reliable, attentive, and compassionate care. I work Monday through Friday from 7:00AM to 3:30PM at the local state prison. Outside of my regular work hours, I am able to provide dedicated care for your dogs. When dog sitting, I stay at the client's home, allowing me to provide companionship and supervision throughout the evening and overnight. Depending on the location of the home, I may also be able to stop in during my lunch break to let the dogs outside and check on them. After work, I return to the client's home and spend the remainder of the evening there, providing plenty of attentions, playtime, and care. I'm a huge dog lover, and I've always enjoyed spending time with them. I've very attentive and enjoy playing with dogs, giving them plenty of affection, and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for. When the weather is nice, I'm happy to take them outside for walks or playtime. My goal is to make sure every dog feels safe, happy, and well cared for while they're in my care.
“Anna was great with our sometimes nervous, easily excitable, reactive 15 month old black lab, Gus and our 2 cats. She house sat for us and Gus made friends with her right away. He was happy and well taken care of the whole week. We would definitely recommend Anna to anyone!”
“Adriana was awesome with Kodi . She sent me lots of photos and made me feel really comfortable about leaving my fur baby. I would highly recommend her as well as plan to hire her in the future.”
“We could not have asked for a better dog sitter! From the moment we left, Leigh went absolutely above and beyond every expectation we had. Her communication was fantastic the entire time — we received regular updates, photos, and could clearly see how loved and cared for our pup was while we were away. She didn’t just cover the basics; she truly invested time and attention into making sure he was happy, comfortable, and mentally stimulated with lots of playtime, enrichment, and snuggles. It was obvious she genuinely cared about him like he was her own. On top of that, she completely spoiled him and us by making sure his kennel stayed clean and even giving him a quick bath before out return! Coming home to a happy, clean, relaxed pup was such an incredible feeling. Reliable, thoughtful, attentive, and incredibly kind — we would trust her again in a heartbeat and cannot recommend her highly enough!”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life, so I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages, from young puppies and kittens to seniors. I have experience with different personalities, energy levels, and care needs, and I understand that every pet has their own routine and comfort level. I’m patient, attentive, and love making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I have classes Monday through Friday, generally between 10 AM and 1 PM, although my class times vary by day. I’m available to help before and after my classes, as well as on weekends. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and schedule to make sure they get the care and attention they need! Because I have two cats at home who don’t get along with dogs, I don’t offer pet care in my apartment. Instead, I’m happy to come to your home to care for your pets in their own familiar environment. I’ll follow your instructions and routines closely and make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away.
“Leslie did such a wonderful job of taking care of our pets, she went above and beyond, taking them for short walks in the snow and bitter cold! She kept us updated through her stay. Will not hesitate to use her again.”
About: Hi! I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life and absolutely love caring for them. Whether it’s dogs, cats, or the occasional bunny, I’ve always been the go-to person for friends and family when they need a reliable sitter. I have hands-on experience walking energetic pups, keeping older dogs comfy and calm, and making shy or anxious pets feel safe and loved. What sets me apart is my attention to detail and genuine love for animals. I’m patient, nurturing, and take the time to learn each pet’s unique personality, routine, and needs. Whether your pet needs slow walks, playful fetch sessions, or just a cuddle buddy, I’m here for it all. I’m also super dependable, quick to communicate, and will always treat your pets (and your home!) with respect and care. I’m currently home from college and have tons of free time, which means your pet will get my full attention! My schedule is super flexible, whether you need morning check-ins, afternoon playtime, or evening cuddles, I’m happy to work around what’s best for you and your pet. Since I’m not juggling classes or a packed routine right now, I can be reliable, consistent, and fully present for your pet’s needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat the space with the same respect and care I would expect for my own. I always follow your specific instructions closely, from feeding schedules to playtime preferences, and I keep everything clean and calm for your cat’s comfort. I’m extra mindful about doors, windows, and anything that could be a hazard, especially for curious pets! I also believe communication is key to building trust, so I’ll happily send photo updates and check-ins to keep you in the loop while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities, and I always aim to leave your home just as I found it.

Anna was wonderful with our pup! Our family dog sitter became ill and Anna accepted our last minute request. She stayed with our dog for five overnights and provided him with the love and attention that we give. We highly recommend Anna’s services, and will request her again in the future! Thanks, Anna!

The average cost of House Sitting in Wingate is $40 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $40 per night.

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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
