“Kacy was great with taking care of my dog, Luna! Luna is a very high energy, bully mix who can be a little crazy! Kacy handled her very well and Luna warmed up quickly to her, which was great because sometimes Luna can be wary of people. Definitely recommend Kacy!”
“Ashley is a wonderful dog and house sitter! She took great care of Sadie for a week while we were out of town. She did everything I requested and was always very kind and courteous. The house looked exactly how we left it. Not a thing out of place. She is very trustworthy and highly dependable. I would recommend her to anyone!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my entire life whether that is my own dogs at home or helping out a neighbor or friend! I would love to help your dog as well I’m currently a student at Salisbury university but I am commuting so I only have classes on Tuesday and Thursdays. I am available almost any other time besides then! I will be there for whatever your pet needs may be! I love taking care of dogs of all sizes and know what it takes to make sure they will be ok while you are gone
“Brigid was excellent!! She cared for my dog like he was her own. She gave him his meds on time and kept communicating with me while she was caring for him by sendings pics everyday! I would hire her again!! Thanks Brigid for taking care of my boy with love and caring for his needs!!”
About: My biggest priority is communication! I love to send check ins and pictures throughout the day, and often ask questions. I will always double check instructions to make sure your pet has the care you intended. I am also outdoorsy and love to walk! I will always extend a walk if I can, not cut it short or do the bare minimum. I am committed to giving your pet the exercise and attention the deserve! I am a nanny, student, and big fan of exercise! I have alot going on in my day, but often have gaps in between that allow me to visit your animals and get them outside. I can often be found doing homework in the evenings, and I always seem to get so much more done when dogsitting! I will always follow instructions and ask questions if I am not sure. I will never feed your pet anything that is not from you, and I will use proper precautions, leashes, harnesses, etc, when outside. I will always clean up after myself and be diligent about locking doors and leaving the house as I found it.
About: I have hands-on experience caring for my own dogs, Koda and Eddie. Koda is a Cane Corso puppy, which has helped me learn the importance of patience, consistency, positive reinforcement, and proper exercise. I make sure my pups receive plenty of love, attention, playtime, and daily care while keeping their safety and comfort a priority. I understand that every dog has a unique personality and needs, and I would treat every pet in my care like family! 🐶❤️ Pet care is something I enjoy and make time for in my daily schedule. I strive to be flexible, dependable, and attentive to each pet’s needs, ensuring they receive plenty of exercise, attention, and care. I communicate with pet parents to coordinate schedules and make sure every pup gets the time, love, and attention they deserve! 🐾 I prioritize safety, patience, and trust when caring for every pet. I make sure each animal feels comfortable, loved, and secure while following the owner’s instructions and respecting each pet’s unique needs. I believe in keeping open communication with pet parents, providing regular updates, and creating a safe, welcoming environment where both pets and their owners can feel confident and at ease. My goal is to treat every pet like family! 🐾❤️
“Maura and Will treated Ozzie like he was part of the family! He felt right a home at their house, and I believe thoroughly enjoyed having another canine companion to play with. Maura will be my go-to any time I travel in the future.”
“Maranda was fantastic. I really can’t say enough positive things about our experience with her. She was quick to learn and work with the idiosyncrasies of our two cats, took care of our house which was immaculate when we returned and communicated with us while away as much/or as little as we requested. She is very personable, respectful and responsive.”
About: I love dogs and I love spending time with them and playing with them! I love to snuggle or lay close with them and make sure they are comfortable at all times. I love playing with them and wearing them out so they sleep good at night! I love walking them and seeing how excited they get when someone comes to see them! I have dog sat many of dogs from very small to very big and I don't have a type, I love all sizes, shapes, and more! I have had a dog my whole life and I can't ever get enough of them. I have been told that I am good at dog sitting and their pets are always great when they return!
About: I’ve taken care of my own dogs since I was 8. I had a medium sized low energy dog and now I have a high energy bigger dog so I have a good range of care. I’ve always been the one neighbors have reached out to to take care of their dogs Currently I am unemployed so I am pretty openly available! It really just depends on your dogs needs and how I can best provide for them! I am really good with handling dogs and getting them to listen. I’m super athletic so I’ll love taking your dogs on walks and playing! Super openly available for all there needs.
“Gabrielle housesat for me and my golden retriever Dora for a week. She was wonderful with Dora. She handled Dora's medication and dietary restrictions with no problem. Every picture Gabrielle sent throughout the week showed Dora happy and healthy on her walks and getting her snuggles. Gabrielle was also an excellent house guest, leaving the house clean and tidy. She even watered my plants and vacuumed up copious amounts of dog hair so I didn't have to come home to that! She was very communicative and checked in with me in regularly or if anything was out of the ordinary. I would definitely use Gabrielle again and highly recommend her!”
“What can I say? I would give ten stars if possible! Lauren is the BEST! I relied on all of the reviews on Rover and I was so glad that I did. Our dog is a rescue and while he is sweet, he can be quirky at times so we wanted someone that understood quirky dogs. We hadn't left him in over two years because our sitter moved away and because our other dog, his sidekick, recently passed away from old age. Finding Lauren was a godsend. She was very communicative, amazing with Teddy, and the house was cleaner than we left it! We are so appreciative of her and the amazing job she did for us. We went away knowing our boy and our house were in excellent care and we didn't have to worry. The only downside is we think Teddy misses her more than he ever missed us, LOL! He adored her. We adore her too! Teddy has a new best friend and her name is Lauren. Thanks so much!!!”
About: All my life I have loved animals. I greet the pet before the human most times lol. Having had a family dog majority of my life, and now seeing all my siblings have their own pets (dogs & cats), I know how important it is to have someone you can trust to watch your pet, because pets are family! It brings me so much joy to spend time with animals and be able to provide them a safe space to play, explore, eat, sleep, and be loved on! Animals want to feel comfortable and safe just like humans do, and I am joining Rover so I can help provide this type of care for more loving pet owners 😊 If your dog stays with me we will: go on a minimum of 2 15-30 minute walks, have plenty of play time inside and outside, and be cuddled up on the couch enjoying each other's love. I will also send you plenty of pics with updates of how our time together is going! I want to give your pet the best experience while you are away so they feel okay with the unavoidable time apart. Let me rid you of pet parent anxiety & guilt. Trust that with me, your pet with be safe and have a great time 😊 I work remotely, so I have flexibility between the hours of 7am to 7pm to: pick up or drop off a pet, let a dog out to use the bathroom and get some fresh air, take a dog out on multiple walks and socialize them if their parent wants/allows that, be in the home whenever the pet wants attention and love, stimulate their brain by playing with them, and feed it breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I want to ensure a pet gets the most out of their day! I have been caring for animals most of my life, and I care for them as if they are my own pets. I make sure their needs (food, water, bed/sleeping area) are easily accessible and that I am available to them whenever they need. I have a fenced in yard and communal courtyard, making bathroom breaks and outdoor playtime/exploration easy! I also have an open living room and a long hallway making indoor playtime fun and doable! And I have windows that look out onto the street and nature to keep their mind busy on those days the weather isn't the best (and they may not want to be outside). When on walks, I am alert and ensure they are always close to me and in safe situations. I know all the safe foods & medicines cats and dogs can have, as well as the unsafe foods & meds, which I make sure are put away and/out of reach for the animal. I know when to be stern in my tone of voice to discipline a dog when necessary (e.g. out on a walk and they are pulling or I need to get their attention, if they have gotten into something that they shouldn't have, etc.). I want to always make sure the pet is safe from harm when with me. They are like children to me, and I will do anything to protect a child! In addition to ensuring the pets safety, I love to snuggle and give pets all throughout the day, providing the pet with lots of love and comfort. Making them happy makes me happy!

“Bri was punctual and very communicative! She was kind and caring to my entire zoo, and was great with both my timid puppy and my difficult diabetic dog. I've been through a dozen Rover pet sitters but Bri is the first one I trust to take care of my pets the way I would. I'll definitely be requesting Bri again!”

Carmel did great, she showed up on time, walked them, fed them and kept them company while we were at an event nearby, she also had some flexibility on the end time when I underestimated how long it would take to wrap things up. I Would highly recommend her to anyone looking in her area.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Wye Harbor is $55 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $50 and $60 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 October 2026, there are 1,235 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Wye Harbor. 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 Wye Harbor 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 Wye Harbor 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 Wye Harbor 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.
