“We’ve hired Louis to house sit and watch our cat three times now and he has gone above and beyond each time. He offered to drop by for an extra morning at no additional cost after our travel plans were extended and he even took out the track and brought in all our packages and mail during our absence. You can’t go wrong with Louis!”
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life. Growing up on a farm, my family always had multiple dogs and often cats, so caring for animals has always been second nature to me. I love spending time with pets and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. After college, I regularly pet sat and looked after my parents’ farm while they traveled, sometimes for trips lasting up to a month. This meant caring for multiple animals, sticking to feeding schedules, and making sure everything ran smoothly while they were away. I also helped raise and train my girlfriend’s dog from puppyhood, giving me experience with basic obedience, leash manners, socialization, and establishing a consistent routine. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a quiet companion, I’ll treat them with the same care, patience, and attention I’d give my own. I work Monday through Thursday from 6:00 AM to 4:00 PM, but outside of those hours my schedule is very flexible. I’m available for early morning, evening, overnight, and weekend care, with full availability Friday through Sunday. I’m reliable, responsive, and committed to keeping your pet’s routine as consistent as possible so they feel comfortable while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I understand that every pet has unique needs, so I’ll take the time to follow your instructions closely, maintain their normal routine, and provide plenty of attention and care. I’ll keep your home clean and secure, make sure doors, gates, and leashes are always used properly, and treat both your pets and your home with the same respect I would my own. You can count on regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
“Jasper was responsive and easy to communicate with. He sent lots of photos of our dogs and even our grumpy 13yr old senior dog loved him. Stayed with our 3 dogs for 3 days. Will definitely have him watch them again.”
About: Hi! My name is Hannah and I’m looking to get back into dog sitting/walking on the weekends. I grew up with dogs my entire life and have always loved animals. I have dog sat for neighbors and friends for years. I currently have a 7 year old Pyrenees/lab mix and he lives the best dog life. I’m strictly a weekend doggie caretaker as I work full time during the week. If you need a dog sitter while away for the weekend, I can help! I’m very patient and attentive to the dogs I will take care of. They will be in great care at my apartment and there’s plenty of (unfenced) property I live in but happy to bring them outside with a leash too. I am happy to watch your dog in your home as well!
About: I grew up with small to large dogs and have had experience with administering medication including shots, as well as wound care and basic behavioral training practices. I currently work a full-time retail job but love animals and am always willing to care for someone’s fur babies when they are away. Working retail means my schedule is never consistent. I mostly work between the hours of 7-7 with the occasional 12-9 or 2-11pm shift. If you have any questions about what times I’m available on a given day check my calendar and reach out! I will care for them by giving them lots of cuddles, playing with them, making sure they have food and water, and walking them to tire them out. I will also make sure they go out at least 2 times a day if not more depending on my work schedule.
About: I have cared for pets of friends and family for the last 12 years in their homes and in my own. I find joy in making sure they are safe, comfortable and have everything they need. I’m familiar and comfortable caring for dogs and cats that are senior and/or have special needs. I’m available between 6am and 10pm daily. Same day booking is available with 1 day cancellation. Looking forward to taking care of your precious pets! I will care for your pet/s at your home to your preferences. Crating, feeding, medicine, etc. Please provide detailed information as to your pets needs.
About: I've had animals my whole life and grew up with dogs, cats, and my own horses. I lost my two dogs recently and I'm not ready to adopt again, but I'm not ready to go without dogs either. My Aussie needed a lot of extra care near the end, so senior pups are no problem. I can do meds, oral or injection. I've raised puppies too. Anxious dogs and dogs who are super bonded to their people tend to do well with me. Honestly, I find animals easier than humans. I haven't met a dog I couldn't bond with yet. I work from home, so your pup is with me pretty much all day. If I run an errand they come along, unless it's too hot to wait in the car- in which case they will hang at home. They sleep in my room unless you want something different. Right now I'm wide open and flexible with enough heads up I only take one family at a time, up to three dogs. No mixing households, so your pups get all my attention. Any size or breed is welcome, they just need to be house trained (unless they are a puppy- then please provide house training status). There's no fence, but there's a huge lawn and lake and river access for swimmers. Off leash only happens with great recall and your OK. Otherwise they're leashed outside. Either way, I'm always out there with them.
About: I have leash trained and kennel trained dogs over the years and train animals through gentle repetition and reward. Comfortable with special care such as medication or reasonable accommodation. I work from home during the day. We have a Golden Retriever named Biscuit and a Kelpie named Indi who are both super friendly and ready to play. We would prefer daytime services aside from boarding. I've lovingly cared for dogs since age 10, my mom’s farm in Missouri currently has 5 border collies. I love animals. Family, Neighbors and friends have trusted me for years to provide attentive walking & feeding for their furry companions. Currently since we have ample space on the ranch for outdoor play I have decided to start these services. We will have frequent trips to nearby parks like Sutey Ranch, Red Mt and Crown Mt.
“Erin accommodated to my old dog’s needs the weekend she was watching her. She always kept me updated and I was at peace knowing she was there taking care of Shaggy. Will definitely use again in the future!”
About: Hi! I’m Hannah 🐾 I’ve had pets my whole life and have been caring for other people’s pets since I was 10, so taking care of animals has always been something I genuinely love. I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets with someone you trust. I treat every pet like they’re my own and love getting to know their individual personalities, routines, and quirks. Whether your pet wants to go on a long walk, play nonstop, or just curl up for some cuddles, I’m happy to give them the attention and care they need. I’m responsible, caring, and always want both pets and their owners to feel comfortable and at ease. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your furry friends! 🐶🐱💕 I currently work as a barista, my schedule varies but I typically work 4 days a week from 5 AM–12 PM, which means I have plenty of availability in the afternoons and evenings to give your pets the attention and care they deserve! I’m happy to work around your pet’s schedule and routine to make sure they get plenty of love, playtime, walks, and attention while you’re away. 🐾💕 When caring for pets in a client’s home, I want them to feel safe and comfortable in their own familiar environment. I’ll follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and any other care they’re used to. I’ll give them plenty of attention, love, and cuddles while also respecting their space if they’re more independent or shy. I’ll treat your home and your pets with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I’m also happy to send regular updates and pictures so you can relax knowing your pets are happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away!
“My Lizzie can be a little skittish with stranger but Calvin went above & beyond to ensure she was happy & comfortable. Communication was consistent along with pictures & video. Highly recommended.”
About: I have experience administering medicine to dogs in the past. I love dogs and will take them on many walks and play with them all day! I live and work in Carbondale, and I love exploring the area on hikes and walks. I love animals, but I'm not at a point in my life to have my own. My schedule is flexible, and I would love to watch your dog or take them on a walk when you'reaway! Your dog will never be lonely with me! I'll go on multiple walks a day and love going to parks and on hikes! I'll make sure your pup enjoys their vacation as much as you will!
About: Seeking new furry friends in 2026 and 2027! I grew up on a farm and have cared for dozens of dogs and cats, as well as donkeys, ponies, pigs, goats, rabbits, guinea pigs, chickens, turtles, salamanders, and fish. Now, I am a trained volunteer with the National Institute of Canine Service and Training, where I am a part-time raiser for service dogs in training. Because I work remotely, I love caring for others’ pets at their home or mine (fenced backyard). My husband Brian also works from home and is our official Player-In-Chief, guilty of stealing morning snuggles and sneaking backyard fetch sessions during the workday. My husband and I work remotely, which gives us the flexibility to provide high quality in-home pet sitting services. We appreciate a furry friend to break up our days and give us an excuse to get off-screen at quitting time. At your home: We will work from your house and explore your neighborhood in our off-time. Your pet will get stellar care from multiple loving humans! At our home: We have a 3-bedroom home and a fenced backyard, with easy access to multiple parks and open spaces for walks. Working from home gives me more flexibility to spend time with pets I am caring for, which I love!
“Highly recommend Stuart! He took great care of our dog while we were away for a long trip- lots of hiking, playing, and interacting with her. Great at sending updates our way during the stay. Our dog is sometimes shy with new people and she warmed up right away with Stuart.”
“Amber was great with the dogs (: She took them out on so many walks, they were so happy! Very communicative and overall a pleasure to have sitting my pups while I was gone. Will definitely check Amber's schedule the next time I need someone to watch Mia and Nina!”
“Kat, watched our cat for two weeks while we were on a trip. She took great care of him and sent us messages about how he was doing while we were away. She left the house in excellent shape after staying there for the duration. She is easy to work with and responds quickly. Would highly recommend.”
About: I've taken care of all dogs since I was 4 years old. My favorite childhood memory was walking my dad's dogs every night with my friends. I am currently working part time so I will have plenty of time to spend with your pets during the week and on weekends too. I will care for your pets as if they were my own, it is a great way to have companionship and walk outside on the many trails around my neighborhood.
About: I love animals and have had pets all my life. My first job at 14 years old was at Ross Hospital for Animals in Bloomfield Hills, MI. I also have volunteer experience at Leader Dogs for the Blind, where I was responsible for walking the adult dogs and caring/bathing the puppies. I am a full-time hospitality associate at Restoration Hardware. As I am a fully remote employee, I have the availability to house and/or pet sit anytime during the week and weekends. I am originally from Bloomfield Hills, MI and obtained my degree from Oakland University in Elementary Education. I have extensive history in pet sitting, house sitting, and caring for children as an English Governess. I am also an animal lover and will take care of your home and/or pets with love, care, and respect.
“Maria was amazing! She house-sat for us while we were away for a long weekend. We have three dogs and she took such great care of them! She communicated well, sent plenty of photos and updates, and was very respectful of our home. I had seen that she was highly recommended from others in the area, and now I know why - we will definitely be booking with her again in the future! Thanks so much, Maria!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 213 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Wingo. 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 Wingo 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 Wingo 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 Wingo 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.
