“Rachael is fantastic. She took wonderful care of my dog Riggs and kept me in the loop the entire time. Professional, trustworthy, and a true animal lover. I highly recommend her!”
About: What sets me apart is my practical, real-world experience handling a wide variety of animal needs and environments. Working behind the scenes in a veterinary clinic taught me how to keep pet spaces clean and safe, while my time on a goat farm gave me the hands-on confidence to administer injections. Combined with giving oral medications to my own cat and senior dog, I am uniquely equipped to care for animals with specific health routines. Because I offer care exclusively in your home, I specialize in keeping independent pets safe, happy, and relaxed right in their own familiar surroundings. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine. Sunday through Thursday, I am available for overnight house sitting in your home. Please note that from Tuesday to Thursday, I do leave for a 6-hour work shift during the day, making me a perfect match for independent pets who don't mind some alone time. I utilize my mornings, late afternoons, and evenings on those days for dedicated care, walks, and drop-ins. On Fridays and Saturdays, I am available strictly for daytime walks and drop-in visits, as I stay out of town those nights. I provide pet care exclusively inside the client's home, keeping your pets safe and comfortable in their own familiar environment. When house sitting or dropping in, my priority is maintaining their exact daily routine. Thanks to my clinic helper and farm background, I am completely confident following complex instructions, keeping spaces clean, and administering oral medications or injections. You will receive regular updates, and you can rest assured your home and pets are cared for with a professional eye.
“Katie is absolutely amazing. We were having an incredibly stressful week and it was nice to know our dog was in great hands. Highly recommend, we’d love to have her watch Major again in the future.”
About: Welcome, y'all! I love watching dogs. We watch kitty cats too 😁. Cheapest rates around! Let me make it easier for you to celebrate your vacation and holidays! Let me sit for your pup. I...love... dogs! My parents were dog breeders for years. As a youngster, I was responsible for many of the chores. As an adult, I have always had pets. I know how important your dog is to you. Your dog is your 'baby'. We are definitely dog lovers in this house! Big dog specialist. I love the little dogs too, though! ☺️💪🎄🎁❤️🩹 I will treat your pup like my own. I am a teacher during the day. I'm usually home by 3. I'm home every afternoon and every night and every weekend. I do have flexibility in my work schedule should they need arise. I have a dog lead hooked up to the house and it goes all the way back to the maple tree on the back of the property. 20 ft in either direction gives Fido plenty of room to go to the bathroom. Otherwise, your pup is in the house with me and my family. I am offering dog boarding services. This is a friendly Christian home. Lots of love to share.

“Cesar had a great visit with Sadie, Sadie was very informative asked questions regarding Cesar very professional looking forward to future visits and overnight stays with our Cesar”
“Maylynn was so sweet but most of all I loved how my boys reacted to her. It let me know that she is a good person and that my cats were in good hands while I was away. She was on time for both drop in’s and even made sure to give them some playtime. I’ll definitely be using Maylynn again and recommend her to everyone.”
“Elizabeth is a wonderful sitter for our cat! Communication is great and she is so friendly and good with animals. I know my cat is in great hands with Elizabeth when I'm traveling!”
“Stephanie was amazing with my kitties! I have two cats with varying medical needs, and Stephanie rose to the challenge with no issues. She adapted to deal with my hard-to-pill fussy cat, and had no reservations about caring for our senior kitty with incontinence issues. She was always prompt and communicative. I was able to have a relaxing long weekend away thanks to her.”
About: I have had dogs since I was very young. I have trained pups and cared for senior dogs.I love the companionship of animals! All pets will be treated as family. I am retired and have a very well behaved female GSD under 2 years old. She is very good with other dogs and loves to play with them. I have a fenced in yard where our house guest will have plenty of room to run. 1 female GSD lives here and enjoys the company. I can also keep them separate if that is the preference.
About: I've been working with animals for over 10 years. I love them all! I've done pet sitting for all types of critters over the years...from rabbits and ferrets to chickens, dogs and cats. My goal is to keep them happy while family is away. A happy pet is a stress free pet. Whether it be walks, cuddles on the couch or ball in the yard, we will do what's needed to be content. Having experience in a veterinary setting, I'm also qualified to administer medications to any pets that may require it. I'm the mother of 2 beautiful girls. We presently have 3 rambunctious cats and a guinea pig in our home. We just lost our beloved dog at 17 years of age. We all enjoy crafting and hiking in our spare time. I currently work in a 2 doctor animal hospital. I have a talent for multitasking. I can stay over (house sit) or depending on location, make up to 3 visits daily, as needed. I have complete respect for the homes of allvpets and their people. I also will take the trash out, pickup their waste in the yard or clean litter boxes, bring the mail in and water the plants.
“We needed a new caretaker for our cat and we are lucky to have found Alex. She is a caring person, she was authentically interested in understanding our cat’s preferences and habits. She took great care of our cat while we were away. I’d highly recommend Alex”
“Madeleine has been caring for my dogs since high school. She is attentive, kind and wonderful with my dogs. It shows on how excited they are to see her when she drops in. She provides the best care and from the beginning asked for instruction to make sure she does exactly what is needed to be done each time she visits. I have cameras outside the house and she’ll often bring toys out to play with them during her drop ins. I can’t say enough good things about the care she provides for my dogs. They love her and we do too!”
About: I have owned my own animals my whole life. I currently have a Doberman who has Addison’s disease and requires daily medication and weekly injections. I worked at a rescue for 3 years when I was in college so I know a lot about dog behavior and care. My husband and I own a small masonry business. I currently assist him on the jobsite when needed but mostly take care of the administrative duties so my schedule is very customizable to your pet care needs I am comfortable working with pets of all ages and in a variety of environments. Wether you prefer drop in visits in your home or long walks with your dog I can accommodate many different options.
About: I'm a huuuge pet lover! I have two cats of my own, routinely watch/walk my brother's dogs, and also volunteer at my local cat shelter every weekend. Cleaning up litter boxes, poop, hairballs, and puke are second nature to me haha! I also took care of my senior cat who lived to 23 years, so senior pets have a very special place in my heart. Rest assured your pet will be in great hands with me. :) I am remote 3x/week so my schedule is very flexible. I am often free any time of day (besides tuesdays & wednesdays) from 7am to overnights if needed. I'm flexible to all scheduling - just let me know! I do dog walks, dog feedings, cat feedings, and cat walks (if you are interested!) :) I will keep all pets company if youre just at work for the day or need a late-night stay for a date-night.
About: As someone who knows that your pet is a part of your family, you can trust that I will do my absolute best to take care of them. I have been a pet sitter for 4 years, providing exceptional care to the pets of neighbors, family, friends and clients. I have experience caring for pets with special needs, dietary restrictions, and medication. I’m currently working full time, but I’m available for overnights with any pet! I’m okay with traveling the distance to your house to watch your pet as well as house sit if needed! I understand that animals feel most comfortable around familiar surroundings, and wouldn’t want to displace them. I’m very flexible, just let me know when I’d be needed. The environment will be your own home. Your pet will not feel displaced, and will remain comfortable in his or her own bed. I understand that familiarity is key when owners are away.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Wolcott stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Wolcott 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!
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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Wolcott with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
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.
