“Tamara was very communicative and took great care of our house and 2 dogs while we were gone for 5 days. We had busy schedules right before the trip, and so we weren't able to meet and greet ahead of time, but it was no issue at all and Tamara called me as soon as she got to the house and met the pups on day 1. She also sent lots of pictures and videos. I have one extremely energetic puppy, and a senior, lazier, alpha dog with separation anxiety. I can really tell the dogs were very happy and received lots of qualify attention and exercise while I was away. I will definitely be a repeat customer for as long as I'm living in the area. Thank you so much, Tamara!”
“Highly communicative during our stay with lots of pictures. Arianna came to meet us and the dogs prior to our trip and she easily connected and commanded them. You can tell she is skilled and loves animals. She had a situation arise where one of our dogs got a stick stuck in her mouth and Arianna handled it with urgency and ease, providing information, photos, and assurance everything was fine. The house was left clean and orderly, no issues. We will most certainly use her again.”
“Michelle is an amazing stay in dog sitting. If you want peace of mind while you're away know Michelle is the ideal dog sitter. I highly, highly recommend her. From the meet and great Daisy, my dog really liked being around her. Michelle showed up on time to the meet and the day of. Michelle made sure to asked all the right questions, took notes so nothing could be overlooked. When I returned the house looked impeccable (I think better then I left it) and my dog was happy, well taken care of and not stressed at all. I will definitely continue to use Michelle services.”
“Kory did an amazing job with watching our senior dog and two cats during our wedding and honeymoon abroad! He was very kind, considerate, inquisitive and communicative! Would highly recommend him for in-home petsitting!”
“Sierra was great with my two cats, they both warmed up to her quickly and she handled insulin injections for my older cat. I received picture and video updates throughout the day and the house was left in great shape. Will definitely rehire”
About: With over 10 years of pet care experience, I haven't just grown up with dogs and cats; I also have a Labrador of my own. I go beyond the basics – outdoor walks, running sessions, ball games for dogs, and interactive "mouse" chasing for cats. When permitted, I provide nutritious homemade meals for that extra tender loving care. Offering a personalized touch, I ensure furry friends receive love, attention, and ample playtime. Sharing joyful moments through pictures with the owners, I keep pet parents reassured and their pets content. Your fur babies are in caring hands! I currently work from home, providing me with a highly flexible schedule. I am available for pet care during early mornings, afternoons, and evenings, and I am also available overnight for the most part. For the house sitting service, I create a safe and trustworthy environment as a pet sitter. My two-story house, coupled with a spacious backyard, ensures ample space for pets. There are also nearby walking sites in the neighborhood. My Labrador, Kano, is sociable and enjoys the company of small dogs in my home. Your pets will feel comfortable and welcomed in this pet-friendly space.
“Mia accepted a last minute 5 day stay after another rover sitter cancelled 30hrs before the start of our booking. She was so kind to make a meet and greet work same day. She took great care of Clyde, sent photos and was proactive and promptly responsive with her communication while we were gone, and left our house in great condition — washed our sheets, took out the trash, 0 dirty dishes. 10/10 recommend her for not only great dependable care but also being a lifesaver so last minute. Thank you, Mia!!!”
“Woody was great to work with. Our dogs were very well cared for. Communication was consistent and helpful. Our house was really well taken care of. We look forward to having Woody stay with our dogs again.”
“Norm was great. Peaches loves him even though he smelled like other dogs. He took good care of our dog and house. I would recommend him to everyone. He did an extra long stay for a once in a life time trip. My Great Dane was his blanket every night.”
“Gihan watched our baby for the first time and was wonderful with him. Very patient with his fussy quirks and really taking the time to get to know him better. We appreciated her sending updates and plenty of photos to keep us posted on how things were coming along throughout the day. We already have her booked again for our next time away!”

“Sage was incredible!! They instantly bonded with our dogs, a feat for two anxious girlies who don’t warm up to strangers easily. They sent lots of photos and took the girls on daily walks. They left our home so spotless and went above and beyond and laundered our sheets and ran the dishwasher. You can tell they really just love animals so dearly, and we are so grateful that our girls had someone as loving and kind as Sage to watch them while we were away. We hope to use them again in the future!”

My husband and I rescued our Evey at 3 months old and she’s now 9 years old! We take excellent care of her and she’s treated like part of the family.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Wyldwood
Sophie was amazing. She was really flexible with her meet and greet and the dogs loved her. She arrived early for both the meet and greet and the housesitting. Sophie was quick to respond when we checked in to see the house. She sent us pictures which was great. She was amazing.
I truly cannot say enough good things about her — five stars doesn’t even come close. She took care of our injured dog with such incredible patience, compassion, and attention to detail that it immediately put our minds at ease. From medication schedules to mobility limitations, she handled everything flawlessly and treated our dog like her own. Her communication was exceptional — thoughtful updates, photos, and genuine care every step of the way. It’s rare to find someone you trust so completely with your pet, especially when they’re vulnerable, and she exceeded every expectation. We are beyond grateful for her and would recommend her to anyone without hesitation. Absolute gem of a sitter.

The average cost of House Sitting in Wyldwood is $46 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $97 per night.

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 Wyldwood 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 Wyldwood 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 Wyldwood 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.
