About: I am a career scientist and an avid animal lover. I have cared for up to 12 pets at a time including dogs, cats, Guinea pigs, rabbits, snakes, lizards, and fish. I have experience walking, feeding, exercising, overnight stays, and administering medication. I currently have one black cat age 13, and two bunnies ages 10 and 2. My senior rabbit receives daily oral medication and twice daily eye drops. I am also experienced at bunny-proofing spaces to keep spaces safe and undamaged. I am an active individual who enjoys hikes through the woods and practicing yoga. I am currently taking a break from the scientific industry and looking to fill my life with things that bring me joy. I am more than happy to meet with prospective families for an interview. I am currently not working full time and have lots of flexibility in my schedule. I can accommodate same day bookings for walks, check ins, and overnight stays. In my own home, I am strict about keeping gates closed to separate my cat from my bunnies while unsupervised. In clients homes I will take a similar approach, tailored to your needs and layout.

About: I am currently studying Animal Science at my university. I am hoping to become a vet one day, so getting the opportunity to practice what I've been taught with your pet will be very beneficial to my carreer going forward! I also had a 15 year old black lab that had a couple of health issues, I was able to give her adequate care for her remaining years. I'm currently a college student studying Animal Science, on a summer break so I have plenty of time to take care of your pets. Whenever you need me, I will be there. I'm also willing to work weekends and nights! I will make sure your pet is well feed, groomed and have frequent bathroom breaks. I will also take them to the dog park or even on car rides! My studies have also taught me what to look for if your animal isn't feeling well or is in distress, along with how to properly treat them if necessary.

About: When I was 10 I joined a dog training program through my school, that’s where my training experience began. I provide a premium, low-volume dog care experience for owners who want their dog to have more one-on-one attention in a calm home environment. Your dog won’t be just one of many in a crowded space. I keep my care more personal so each dog gets plenty of attention, supervision, and outdoor time. I have a big yard for dogs to enjoy, but my indoor space is smaller, so I am very intentional about keeping the number of dogs low. That means I can focus on your dog’s comfort, safety, and overall experience much more closely. This is a great fit for dogs who do better with a quieter setting and for owners who value quality of care over high-volume boarding or daycare. I generally only take one to a few dogs at a time unless they are from the same household. I have a lot of experience with senior dogs. I took care of my childhood dog for 17 years of her long, beautiful life. I have experience working with small senior dogs specifically and I know all the little things that they appreciate. I also have experience with large dogs and can handle very big strong dogs. I also love hiking with dogs so if you have an energetic dog you need to burn off energy I am your guy. I have an acre yard with a fenced in front yard in a nice area. Any dog that boards with me would be treated like my own dog and let out very frequently to go to the bathroom and play outside. I would always remain home with your dog. Thank you for considering me and I hope to meet your pet soon! I’m currently a fully remote student so I am fully available. If I board a pet I will be with them full time to make sure they receive the care they deserve. I have a fenced in front yard, and a good amount of unfenced land in the back. My dog is very friendly and would keep your pet great company. He loves dogs and cats. I can easily crate your dog if needed, but would love to give your dog the pet experience and treat them like my own. I live in a nice are and have great access to the woods nearby as well.

About: I have had dogs my whole life and they mean the world to me! I have cared for the pets of friends, family, and strangers and treat each and every one of them as if they were my own. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages from puppies to seniors, able to give most forms of medications, provide walks/exercise, and anything else your pet might need! I am currently a senior in college living at home and work part time on weekends. I am flexible with my schedule and am usually able to provide bathroom breaks every 4-8 hours. My family is also super helpful with the pets and can assist with boarding drop offs and pick ups if I am unavailable! I have a big backyard and 2 of my own very friendly dogs who love to make new friends. I take them for walks 3 times a day (morning afternoon and night) and hang out with them constantly. They are very well taken care of and your pet will be too!

About: I’ve had dogs since I was 12 and have experience with all kinds of personalities and ages, from puppies to senior dogs with medical needs. I currently have a senior dog myself, so I’m very patient, attentive, and comfortable with extra care routines. Friends and family always count on me first for pet sitting because I genuinely love animals and treat every pet like my own. I also have experience caring for cats and always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. My schedule is extremely flexible, so I’m able to accommodate all kinds of pet care needs including walks, drop-ins, overnight stays, puppy care, and senior pets who need extra attention. I make sure pets feel comfortable by following their normal routine as closely as possible. Whether I’m caring for them in my home or a client’s home, they’ll get plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and care throughout the day.

About: I have helped watch and care for French Bull Dog liters of 5 to 6 puppies at a time over the past 5 years. I have always owned dogs myself over the last 30 years of various breeds to include Black Lab/chow, Toy Poodle, Mini Schnauzer, Bull Terrier, and present French bull dog. Besides sitting for my daughters 4 dogs, 3 Frenchie's and 1 pocket bully so cute by the way I have watched my friends pets as well. I will feed, walk, play and can dispense medication if necessary. I accept all cuddling as well. I currently work part time from home with a flexible schedule and can be available anytime with notice to watch your loved ones in the comfort of their own home. I feel that caring for your pets in their own environment is easier for them to adjust to their families leaving them for a day, week, or longer. I like to keep them on their regular schedule. I will make sure they eat and get out during the day numerous times for potty breaks. I can administer Meds if necessary. I will definitely give cuddles if they are comfortable with that. With mom and dad’s permission I love to give them their favorite treats. I welcome them to snuggle up at bedtime. I will respect and maintain the home that I am staying in as well as taking in the mail and other reasonable light tasks

Cheyenne is the absolute BEST sitter we have ever used. She is always on time, sends lots of pictures, and leaves detailed reviews of what took place during the visit. Our Emma adores her, and we have the piece of mind that she’s in the best hands while we are away.

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Wolcott

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Wolcott is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $28 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 2,645 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Wolcott. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Wolcott. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% can help with daily exercise

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 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.
