âGood communication. Clearly loves animals and gave our babies lots of love while we were gone. Stayed overnight and left the house in good condition. Would definitely have them again!â


About: Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I have hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I regularly volunteer at my hometown animal shelter, where I socialize with cats and dogs, help them adjust to new environments, and work on building their trust and confidence. One area I especially enjoy is working with feral and shy cats, helping them become more comfortable around people and transition into loving indoor homes. I also have experience as a puppy desensitization specialist, where I worked with puppies to help them become comfortable with different sounds, touch, and everyday experiences so they can grow into confident, well-adjusted dogs. I have two dogs of my own at my parentsâ home, whom I have worked with on basic obedience and fun tricks such as sit, stay, speak, and whisper. Friends and family often recommend me to others in need of pet care, and I take pride in being someone they can trust with their animals. I love getting to know each petâs unique personality and making sure they feel safe, happy, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away! I am currently looking for a part-time position, so I have plenty of flexibility and time to spend caring for your pets! While I am unable to board pets at my apartment, I am available for weekday drop-in visits and pet sitting in your home. I would love the opportunity to give your pets plenty of attention, playtime, and care while youâre away! Your petâs safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities! I love giving every animal plenty of attention, affection, and care. I have a strong attention to detail and experience recognizing animal behavior and body language, which helps me pick up on cues when your pet needs to go outside, wants to play, has extra energy, or simply needs some comfort and attention. I understand that every pet has different needs and routines, so I am happy to follow your instructions and provide the level of care that makes you and your pet most comfortable. I also love sending plenty of pictures and updates throughout our time together so you can see how your furry friend is doing while youâre away!

About: Iâve been taking care of pets since I was very young. I grew up as an animal lover and love all animals. I currently work for MonkeyShine Pet Resort, which is a dog boarding, grooming, and daycare facility. I have a lot of experience with fury friends. Friends and family have relied on me over the years to ensure their pets were let out, walked, and groomed. Iâm currently working at Monkeyshine Boarding and Daycare for dogs. I will be attending online college but it does not interfere with my daily schedule. My work schedule is never consistent but I am always guaranteed a long break in between my shifts (2-3 hours). Then the entire night I have off. I live in an apartment complex with no fenced in yard but go to my parents very often whom have 20 acres of open field to run around in. I have an Australian Shepherd named moose, he can be shy but is not aggressive towards other animals

About: Having experience in taking care of animals since I was young and going on to intern at a vet clinic and being a member of FFA, I have learned to have compassion and love to take care of animals of all shapes, sizes, and breeds. I am currently working weekends, so I'll have plenty of time to play and have interactive fun with pets during the week days and am willing to accommodate whatever they need. With a fenced in lawn I offer a secure and loving home away from home for your furry companion. Prioritizing their safety and well-being in a calm environment with experienced, trustworthy care.
âBrooke did great with our dog. She even was able to stay extra days with him so we could extend our vacation a bit. We will definitely chose Brooke again for our house/dog sitting needs.â

About: With over 15 years of pet sitting experience, I provide dependable, compassionate care for animals of all kinds. Iâve also fostered puppies through Unleashed Love Pet Rescue here in West Michigan, giving me hands-on experience with dogs of all ages, temperaments, and needs. Animals have always been a part of my lifeâIâve had a dog for as long as I can rememberâand I truly understand the comfort, companionship, and emotional support they bring. I treat every pet I care for as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while youâre away. Whether you need drop-in visits, daily walks, or extended stays, you can count on me to be reliable, attentive, and respectful of your petâs routine. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pets are in caring, experienced hands. I work Monday through Friday from 8 AM to 4 PM, with the flexibility to work remotely when needed. Iâm typically in the office Tuesday through Thursday, but my schedule allows me to adjust and be available for your petâs needs. I care for pets in my home as if they are my own, paying close attention to their body language, routines, and individual needs and preferences. I also provide care in the ownerâs home with the same level of attentiveness, respect, and consistency. I treat every home I enter with extreme care, professionalism, and respect.

About: You need someone to take care of your pet with the care and attention that you use to care for them. I am happy to help. I have been around dogs and animals my whole life. I recently lost my lab of 15 years. She was a very busy puppy so I have experience with puppies and senior dogs. Please let me support your pet so you can have peace of mind. I work with pets on the weekend, Saturday and Sunday. I am happy to provide dog walking, drop in visits, and house sitting. Please let me know if you have any questions. I am happy to provide walks to whatever length you prefer. I am happy to provide updates with photos. I can be flexible and supportive. I take good care to watch pets closely. I know many dogs appreciate quality attention.
About: Before becoming a firefighter, I worked for the Animal Welfare Society. I was responsible for caring for the cats and dogs brought into the shelter. I have experience caring for cats and dogs of all ages, breeds, and temperaments, including puppy training and providing attentive care for elderly, and ill animals. My weekly schedule is very flexible, allowing me to adjust my availability based on the specific needs of each pet. I am able to accommodate different schedules and routines, and if your pet requires overnight or 24/7 care, I am available to provide that as well. When caring for a pet in a clientâs home, I follow the ownerâs instructions and maintain their normal routine. Any specific feeding schedules, medications, or special care requirements simply need to be communicated to me in advance.
âEmily went above and beyond with my kitties, Marv and Maisy. First time Iâve used Rover and I was relieved at how much of a good job Emily was doing and giving me amazing daily updates. I havenât been gone that long and my cats are as normal as they can be when I got home rather than being stand-off ish and hiding. Highly recommend Emily to take care of your pets.â

âWe had Daniel come stay a few hours with our senior dog and it went great. He was awesome at communicating when I had questions about the booking (needed less time than house sitting but more than a drop in). I received a good amount of pictures while we were away which was awesome because I am a nervous dog mom so it was great to see she continued her normal routine (sleeping and sunbathing) with a new person watching her. I will absolutely be rebooking with Daniel in the future!â

FAQs for House Sitting - Wooster
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 185 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Wooster. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitterâs 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 Wooster walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your homeâs security or appliances.
Itâs helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Wooster 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 theyâll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your petâs 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 Wooster 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 Roverâs 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 Justiceâs 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 sitterâs 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, youâll 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.
