“Bonnie is the best! It’s obvious how much she cares about animals and is so professional. She has such a kind heart. She was very prompt, kept us updated on how Marley was doing throughout the day, and sent adorable pictures. She even brought a special treat and a little fall bandanna for her on the last day. I have full trust in Bonnie, and would not hesitate to have her care for Marley, or my dog Tucker . Thank you for everything Bonnie. You’ll be seeing Miss Marley again.🩷”


“Kelsey was wonderful with my pups. She jumped in after short notice when someone else who was supposed to watch them fell off the radar. She was great with my senior pup who has diabetes and is blind. They did all his shots on time. She’s a pleasure to talk to and very good at what she does. I would definitely have her back to brake care of Ernie and. Kei!”

“Melissa is an amazing pet sitter! I receive regular updates and photos during her visit. She always follows the instructions that are left for her. My pups are well taken care of when she is here.”


About: I’m a reliable and confident pet sitter. I love the days I get to spend with dogs, cats, and other animals. I have plenty of experience with animals with different temperaments, sizes, and medical issues. I understand each animal has its own routine. I am dedicated to following each animal's unique routine to make their days as stress free as possible. I have had dogs and rodents my entire life, but have plenty of experience with other animals such as cats, chickens, pigs, goats, horses, and fish. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and overnight stays in your home. I share updates and photos daily. My ultimate goal is to provide your pets with the best care possible and for you to feel comfortable and confident when you are away from them. I pet sit full time. I am available every day of the week at anytime. I always do a house visit beforehand so your pet can become familiar with me. I understand each animal has its own routine.

“Drew stayed in my home with my 2 boxers for a week and did a great job! She sent me updates and pictures everyday-it was so good to know that my dogs were being well taken care of, in their own home instead of a kennel. I would definitely call her again if needed!”

“Hanna was absolutely wonderful. She gave us updates and pictures throughout every day. This was our first experience using Rover and she made it a great one. We will for sure use her again in the future.”

About: Hi, I’m Hope! I’ve always felt at home with animals, especially dogs. I believe every dog has their own unique personality, and I love taking the time to understand what makes them feel safe, happy, and loved. Whether your pup is energetic and playful or calm and cuddly, I’ll meet them where they are with patience, kindness, and genuine care. I’m dependable, attentive, and treat every pet as if they were my own. You can expect regular updates, photos, and clear communication so you always know your furry family member is happy and in good hands. I’m comfortable with walks, playtime, feeding routines, administering basic medications if needed, and giving plenty of affection and companionship. My goal is to provide a calm, loving environment where your dog feels secure while you’re away. I know trusting someone with your pet is a big decision, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. I’d love the opportunity to care for your best friend and become someone you can rely on whenever you need a helping hand.
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and cats since childhood and have been involved in their daily care for many years, including feeding and basic routines. I’ve also helped care for and watch family and family friends’ dogs, giving me experience with different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I enjoy spending time with dogs, whether that means walks, playtime, or simply keeping them company. I understand the importance of structure, attention, and making sure dogs feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m responsible, attentive, and will treat every dog as if they were my own. Pet care fits very flexibly into my weekly routine. I have mostly open availability and can adjust my schedule to prioritize pet care bookings, including house-sitting, drop-ins, and walks. I occasionally pick up shifts at a medical endoscopy center and may take on occasional part-time work, but my schedule is flexible and I am able to plan around pet care commitments in advance. I provide care in clients’ homes by following each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. This includes feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any specific care instructions provided. I make sure pets are safe, calm, and well cared for, and I pay close attention to their behaviors and needs. I also respect the client’s home by keeping things clean, organized, and secure, and I will always communicate if anything seems off or requires attention.
“Gabby has been our pet sitter exclusively for over 2 years now and there is no one else I would trust with my fur baby. She takes incredible care of my very spoiled cat Luna - making sure she receives the same love and attention as when I’m home with her. After a few less than ideal pet sitters, it’s been amazing to have Gabby who cares for your pets (and home) like they are her own.”

“We found Lizz when we had a sitter cancel at the last minute due to a family emergency. In a panic, I found Lizz and she was extremely responsive and came to sit for our boys a few days after I contacted her. Would recommend her for any pet sitting. Thanks Lizz!”
“Jamie was great! She offered a meet and greet prior to the actual date needed. She provided update pictures throughout the visit. She was willing to work with me on an appropriate schedule time for the start and end time. Will definitely use in the future! Thanks again!”

“Elizabeth was super helpful and very flexible with my crazy schedule. She took my dogs to the park and gave them lots of love and sent great pictures of them while I was away. I didn’t have to worry about a thing the entire trip. She even stayed late when my flight was delayed and left the house clean and tidy. Can’t wait to use her services again!”

About: I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs and cats my entire life, so caring for animals feels completely natural to me. From playful puppies and curious kittens to older pets who need extra patience and comfort, I’ve seen it all. Because I’ve lived with animals for as long as I can remember, I’m great at understanding their body language, routines, and what helps them feel safe. I know how to handle different personalities—shy, energetic, cuddly, or independent—and I always adjust to what each pet needs. I treat every pet like family, because that’s how I was raised to care for mine. Your pets will get the same love, attention, and respect I give my own. As a college student, pet care fits really well into my daily and weekly routine. I’m always looking for fun and meaningful ways to make money, and spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy. Taking care of pets doesn’t feel like work to me—it’s something I look forward to. I’m used to building my schedule around classes and responsibilities, so I’m reliable with feeding times, walks, playtime, and any specific routines a pet needs. Helping care for animals is a great balance to school life and something I’m happy to make time for! When I’m caring for pets—whether in my home or at a client’s—I always focus on safety, comfort, and consistency. I make sure pets are in a secure environment, keep doors and gates closed, and follow any routines or rules you already have in place. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, signals, and comfort levels so they feel safe around me. I keep their routines familiar—walks, feeding times, play, and quiet time—and I always keep a close eye on them to make sure they’re happy and relaxed. My goal is to create a calm, trusting environment where your pet feels cared for, understood, and completely safe while you’re away.

FAQs for House Sitting - Wolcott Mills
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Wolcott Mills on Rover is $43.85 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 1,520 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Wolcott Mills. 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 Wolcott Mills 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 Wolcott Mills 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 Wolcott Mills 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
