“Hannah did a great job with our two pups while we were out of town. She gave our dogs the love and attention. Would 10 out of 10 recommend her! if we are ever go out of town, we would love for her to take care of our pups again.”
“I was so impressed with Amalia's attention to detail and compassion for my baby, Fitty (my cat-son). Amalia made me feel so comfortable so I could really enjoy myself away. Thanks so much Amalia, you did a great job and I will be hiring you again!”
“It was our first time having Megan take care of our 3 pups and she did amazing. I have an epileptic dog who requires a strict med schedule but Megan handled it perfectly and did checks ins which put me at ease. Definitely will use her again!”
“Jill was INCREDIBLE!!! She was so great to us and our girls- especially since we had travel issues getting home and she made sure they were taken care of. 11/10 would recommend and will be using again!!”
About: I’m a dog mom and know how important an attentive and loving dog sitter is. I’d love to help you take care of your pets! My children are grown and I have a flexible schedule. I would love care for your pets, just let me know their schedule and I can accommodate. I’m a true dog mom. My dogs are quite spoiled and well-loved! I provide a safe, patient, calm, and loving environment while you’re away.
“Marshall did a wonderful job watching my old pup. Came home and everything was in perfect order. Highly recommend this team and already have Marta and Marshall booked for another stay.”
“Wendy was great with my huge dog while I was away for a week. She kept in touch with me just enough to let me know things were going well. She not only took care of my pet, but was great with looking after my home in my absence. I highly recommend her.”
About: I believe pet sitters should be pet owners themselves. There has never been a time in my life where I didn't have at least 1 dog and 1 cat in my own household. They are my cherished family members, and I will feel the same about yours by offering trustworthy care, attention and love. Although I have loved all my pets, I have a special place in my heart for those I have saved through adoption or dire circumstances. I work one day a week at the hospital so have a very flexible schedule. My part-time online biz allows me to work from anywhere so I can be home snuggling with your fur baby! My 2 dogs love to explore our fenced backyard and are not allowed outside near the pool without supervision...they are little! They love to walk to the park, follow me around and cuddle with me at night. My cat is far more independent but won't sleep anywhere but beside me. When I stay at your house, they will all settle for my husband at home...although they probably prefer me.
“Chris was awesome. She took wonderful care of our animals and home while we were out of town. She kept us posted with updates and pictures and our cat and dog had a great time with her. I would 100% recommend Chris for animal and house sitting needs.”

I can provide early morning potty breaks, daytime walks, and attentive care throughout the day. I will make sure your dog is always kept on a leash or harness for their safety.

“Kendall stayed in our house to watch our two Goldens for an extended weekend. The pups seemed to have enjoyed themselves, and the house was very clean! She clearly took great care of them, and sent us picture updates the whole time. I will be contacting her again to book her in the future when needed, as I can know I can fully trust her in my house and with my dogs!”
“We went to Europe for a week for vacation and Kat house sat and watched our very high maintenance Jack Russell. She sent us updates and photos and we came home to a happy, totally calm pup. The apartment was tidy too! She is super easy to work with, from responding quickly to transferring apartment keys. Also our dog loved her immediately when he met her! Defintely recommend!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Wylie
Devyn was so good with our crazy Goldendoodle, Cooper. He doesn’t have the best manners when people come over (he likes to jump on everyone) and she handled that so well. Cooper recently lost his fur sibling and is use to his regular sitter, but Devyn made him so comfortable and he was very happy to see her when she came back to watch him (we did a meet and greet) She is so incredibly sweet and can be trusted to care for your pet/s.
A'Lauren did a fantastic job caring for Bodie and Peyton! She was very communicative, provided regular updates and photos, and it was clear she spent quality time with them. We felt comfortable knowing they were in good hands while we were away. We would absolutely book with A'Lauren again and highly recommend her to others.
In addition to the standard screening visit, Skylar came by a few days before we left to get reacquainted, which we really appreciated given our dog’s anxiety. During the stay, she communicated well, sent regular pictures and updates and left the house in perfect condition with a detailed note about the status of various household items.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Wylie is $44 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $72 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.

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 Wylie 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 Wylie 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 Wylie 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.

- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
