“Wonderful pet sitter, sent cute photos and left the house in pristine order. My pets enjoyed her company and she cared for them exceptionally well, including my little geriatric 16 year old Papillon.”
“Han was great! He was willing to come over before the stay to meet our pups and kept us informed the entire time. He took our pups on a walk everyday and they were both in great spirits when we came home. Thanks again Han!”
“Absolutely amazing. She sent us daily pictures and was so good with our geriatric dog. She left the house so clean and was an excellent communicator. She will be at the top of our sitter list from now on.”
“Alyssa was an amazing sitter. She communicated the entire time and even alerted me to when one of my animals became ill. She was very responsible, clean, and communicative. Definitely will continue to use her services.”
“I can’t thank Deborah enough for the amazing care and love she gave our dog. Her communication was great, she gave lots of updates that put us at ease while away from our pup. Can’t wait to use her again in the future, and I know our dog will be so happy to see her!”
“Mitch was great with our recent rescue. Our pup had only been in the house 2 weeks and Mitch handled our dog with poise. There was the usual alert barking one might expect, but within a minute our dog was fine approaching him, receiving pets, and in less than 5 minutes our dog was on the rug laying down quietly. Mitch knows dogs, I am very comfortable with him watching our dog anytime.”
“Pam was great! She sent updates, she communicated clearly, and Willow seemed to thoroughly enjoy hanging out with her (one proof point being a photo Pam shared with Willow using Pam's lap as a pillow). We will definitely book with Pam again.”
“Morgan is just amazing. Communicating was great back and forth, even when our flight plans had to change. She took excellent care of our doggies and our house. She was here with the dogs for the vast majority of the day, which was important to me. She is my go-to sitter going forward.”
“Fiona was excellent! She was very communicative throughout her visits and kept me updated with photos and messages. Several of our animals are shy rescues, but they quickly warmed up to her, which says a lot about how kind and patient she is. It was clear they loved her, and we’ll definitely book with her again!”
“Ace was fantastic and Rocky loved her. She was very attentive and took exceptional care of our home. She provided pics and communication throughout and we are very happy with her.”
“Brittany was so wonderful to our pups! She did an amazing job following our instructions and communicating with both me and my husband. I will have her back in a heartbeat if we need another sitter! She works from home so she was able to be with our pups consistently which is super important for me. Thank you Brittany!!”
“Leor was wonderful with my pup & so reliably communicative throughout the weekend watching him. I really appreciated how responsible and considerate Leor was, and will definitely book with her again in the future!”
“Easiest 5 stars for Mary Sue!!! Our girl got sooo many fun adventures this past week, we received at least 1 update every day and pics to go along, and we were so happy to see how much love she was getting while we were away! Mary Sue also took great care of our place and left us a clean home to come back to after our trip. We would be thrilled to have her back anytime, as would our Bumi !! <3”
“Clay is a rockstar and we are SO happy we found him! Our beautiful Izzy is a nervous puppy and took to Clay like she had known him forever! He was so good to her and so good to us! He stayed at the house with the dog which was awesome! I could actually relax on vacation a little bit! We will be hiring Clay back for all our dog sitting needs!!!”
“Victoria was absolutely INCREDIBLE!!! I honestly cannot recommend her enough. She was so responsive, sent tons of updates and photos, and took such amazing care of my kittens while I was away for the weekend. It was so reassuring knowing they were in such good hands, and she even took amazing care of my house! You can tell she genuinely cares, and I never once had to worry while I was gone. I seriously loved having her and will absolutely be booking her every time going forward. If you’re thinking about booking Victoria, DO IT!! She’s the best!”
“Bryce was the perfect sitter for a week away. He stayed in my home for 7 nights and was diligent about sending pictures and updating us. He did a lot of preparation before his stay: a meetup beforehand, a walkthrough of the home, and asked detailed questions about taking care of my pup. He was also very respectful of the house and even vacuumed and took out the trash before leaving (which was not required!). Impressed is an understatement. I’ve already hired him again for a weekend away next month. Highly recommend.”
“Matt was amazing for a 10 night stay with our 3 dogs. He offered to do as many meet and greets as I needed to feel comfortable and sent pictures. When one of the dogs ate part of our couch (overnight) he was quick to send us a photo and let us know, as well as block the area off so she couldn’t do it again. He responds quickly and is priced more than fairly for the service he is providing. Will definitely book again should the need arise. Thanks Matt!”
“We have booked with Brittany several times now and highly recommend her! She has been so caring and patient with my senior kitty who is the original grumpy cat, and our rescue husky girl who can be quite demanding at times. She always responds promptly, keeps us updated, and takes great care of our home.”
“We’ve never used a non-family pet sitter before but I am very happy to have found Sheri. She was very responsive, sending notes and pictures every day. We will definitely use her again! Thank you Sheri!”

Thomas was absolutely fantastic! Since this was our first time hiring a house sitter, we were definitely a bit nervous, but he put us completely at ease. He watched our house, cats, older dog, and 3-month-old puppy without missing a beat. He was super prompt, followed every instruction to the letter, and left the house even cleaner than he found it. We couldn't have asked for better peace of mind while away. Highly recommend!
I have never had good luck having hired multiple pet sitters in my home until Courtney R. Courtney was fantastic with my two high energy Goldens. Courtney sent multiple funny pictures to keep me up to date on their activities and left my home spotless. I highly recommend Courtney and definitely will reach out to her again the next time we travel. Hopefully she will come back and stay with them! Thank you Courtney!
Lexie was great with our 10 week old puppy! We felt completely comfortable leaving our puppy in Lexie’s care, and Lexie was even able to introduce clicker training while our puppy was in her care! We will definitely be repeat clients for any future pet sitting or training needs.
Chris was great with Tessa. I could tell during the meet and greet that they would bond quickly. When I got home it was clear Tessa had a good time with Chris. Also, the house was so tidy when I got home. I definitely recommend Chris for housesitting with your pet. I am glad I have someone I can call on in the future.
Daria was amazing with our pets while we were away. We have four dogs and two cats, so it’s definitely not the easiest house to pet sit, and she handled everything so well. Two of our dogs need medication, and all four dogs are notorious for barely eating when we leave. Somehow Daria got every single one of them to eat, even our super picky ones, which honestly says a lot. She sent us updates and photos every day, took great care of the house, and left everything clean when we got home. It was such a relief knowing everyone was being well cared for. We’d absolutely have her pet sit for us again.
Kasey went above and beyond this weekend while watching my two dogs. Theyre BIG dogs and she was amazing with them! She made sure I had check-ins, pictures, clear communication and understood clear expectations for their care. Kasey watched our home as well and left it BETTER than she arrived. She brought toys and things to entertain the pups, which they loved. I couldnt ask for a better pup-sitter! Thank you thank you for giving me peace of mind for the weekend, knowing my big babies were well taken care of.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Wolhurst is $67 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $94 per night. 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 8,124 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Wolhurst. 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 Wolhurst 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 Wolhurst 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 Wolhurst 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 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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Wolhurst. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
