About: I graduated with my Bachelors of Animal Science and have been around animals my whole life. I worked at a pet spa and resort in high school taking care of dogs and cats, I've worked at two zoos taking care of exotic animals, and I have dog and cat sat for friends and family. I am currently a teacher and will have my summers off so I can care for your pet at any time! Currently I am a teacher and have my summers off. I will be available anytime to watch your pet. I love to stay active so walking your pet will not be a problem! I currently have a leopard gecko named Remi. She is very low maintenance but I love to get her out and let her wander around for enrichment and exercise. Working at Zoos and having lots of experience caring for animals I truly believe that enrichment and exercise are so important for an animals health and well-being.

“Elizabeth was a great pup sitter for Jazz and Sully, our 2 rescued Golden Retrievers. She kept us informed and sent photos, and during the meet and greet, we felt very comfortable leaving our "kids" and our home in her care. She left our house nice and clean, having done her dishes and vacuumed, and even changed and washed the bedding from the guest room where she slept. I recommend her highly and will definitely call her for future needs.”

About: I adopted my guy Riddick in 2013. Last Thanksgiving, we said goodbye after a rapid decline of suspected lymphoma of the thymus. He was a good fella who kept me company on hikes in the woods, slept and paced with me during my 36-hour labor, laid and watched his baby human nurse for nights on end, and he aged into an easy going, sneaky snack stealing fella. I miss him, and I know I loved caring for him yet I am not in a position to have my own pet - so I want to keep your beloved family furry friend company when they need it most so they’re the best for you! In my time with Riddick, I’ve dealt with 2-3 hour hikes, short walks, yard clean up, oral medication, topical medication, baths and brushing, prescription diets, and more. He was a solid companion for the dogs I’ve fostered for local rescues, as well. I hope my experience will help guide you to make the best decision for your furry friend and family’s needs. I am not actively working full-time, I have an alternating parenting schedule where I have my daughter full time one week and the next her dad has her. I wake up at 4AM everyday for exercise, breakfast, and coffee. I enjoy filming and editing video footage of action sports in the evenings. I am available during school hours the weeks I have my child, and the other week I am available as early as 6AM until about 2-3PM. I care for them the way you need me to, with respect for their demeanors as well. If there are routines needing implemented, we will work on that, if they’re established I will stick to them.

“Kristen did a fantastic job with our two dogs while we were out of town for 5 days! She was very responsive to communication the entire time. We didn’t return to any accidents or messes we had to clean up which for us is a blessing as one of our dogs tends to have some potty issues when we are gone for an extended period. Usually our dogs are super excited to see us when we return- this time I think they were disappointed to see us and not to see Kristen!! Would definitely rebook ☺️”

About: For in-home doggy daycare, I will make sure the doggies are played with, pet, and fed. I have a lot of love to give! If I am checking in on your dog in your own home I will make sure they feel some love that day and are given the attention they deserve. I have had animals my whole life from horses to dogs to chickens. I have had large dog breeds weighing over 150 lbs (caucasian Shepherds) and small beagles. Your dog will have potty breaks as often as they need, I have a very large yard for them to play in. With your permission and weather permitting they will be out as often as they would like! Dog park visits with prior approval after first stay. I currently work partly remote. I will only accept overnight care for animals that I can be home with also during the day. For visiting I’m wrapped up by 4, and have plenty of time for walks and visits. Love and respect go a long way for me! I try to treat animals as kindly and respectfully as we can. Safety is a huge part of my beliefs and will take the utmost responsibility to ensure all pups are safe. We take things slowly to make sure all humans and dogs are safe and happy.

Gabrielle was very good taking care of Buddy, she walked him, fed him and cuddled him so he was very comfortable with her. She sent me updates and pictures how he was every day and even ran the sweeper and kept everything tidy while I was gone. I will definitely use her again.

FAQs for House Sitting - Wooster

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Wooster on Rover is $57 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $34 and $67 per night. 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 October 2026, there are 390 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 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 Wooster 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 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 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.

<b>Tip:</b> 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 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 , 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 .

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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
