“Kenya was great. Quick replies when we texted her. She took wonderful care of our pets. Plus the house was clean and looked just as it did when we left for vacation. We will definitely rebook with Kenya in the future!”
“Olivia was good with the dogs, and Waylon seemed to have a lot of fun with Espi. She was very communicative and left the house clean. We will definitely reach out next time we need a sitter.”
About: I have 2 cats of my own and helped take care of a past 21 1/2 old cat my family had until 3 years ago. Cuddling and playing with cats bring me so much enjoy. My fiancé Sammie is a dog specialist. She handles the dog walking and dog care. She was raised around dogs, and dog sat in her childhood. I have a fenced yard that both of my cats go out and play and relax. My cats roam everywhere in the house and can curl up anywhere. I work part-time but will definitely make the time to take care of your babies. Other than that I have plenty of time to snuggle, cuddle, or play with your fur babies. My cats will go outside into a fenced off yard and while they are outside will keep an eye on them. I won’t force your animals to do anything with me but if they want to play or go outside (if that is allowed) I will happily do so.
“Kiana is amazing with my very shy dog and takes wonderful care of my pack. I highly recommend her bc her vet clinic background. She is literally prepared to handle any issue that can come up.”
About: I've been caring for dogs and cats for over 10 years, and honestly, spending time with animals is something I truly enjoy. I've always had a soft spot for them and believe every pet deserves to feel loved, safe, and cared for. I treat every animal as if they were my own, whether that means going on walks, playing, cuddling, keeping up with their routines, or just giving them some extra attention. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pets with someone else, and I don't take that responsibility lightly. I want both you and your pets to feel comfortable, happy, and at ease while you're away! I'm available Wednesdays until 6 PM, Fridays after 3 PM, Saturdays all day, and Sundays until 4 PM. I'm happy to work with your schedule whenever possible! I provide pet care in my clients' homes, where pets can stay comfortable in their own familiar environment and stick to their normal routines. I follow your instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and plenty of love and attention. I want your pets to feel safe, happy, and cared for while you're away. I do not offer boarding in my home, but I'm happy to care for your pets in theirs!
“Loved Kristin! She is very aware of the house surroundings that make my dogs feel comfortable. I love that Kristin had bed time with my Cavapoo dog that sleeps with me! I will advocate and trust Kristin with anyone’s dogs. She is very attentive, she communicated via text quick, and absolutely affectionate to my dogs. Thank you Kristin!”
“If you want someone that genuinely cares and is willing to go the extra mile to ensure your pets comfort, she's the one! HUGE paws up!!! 🐾🐾Highly recommended by both us and our fur babies! Ava took fantastic care of our dogs and house during our 10 day trip. We have a timid rescue pittie, so Ava met with her well before our trip and arrived early day of to ensure our girl would feel comfortable while we were gone. 💙 Our house was in better condition than when we left. She even washed, remade the bed, and took out the trash before we arrived home. We will 100% be booking Ava for all our future pet sitting needs!”
About: When it comes to walking dogs. It’s a wonderful feeling to just be on a stroll while being accompanied by Mans best friend. Every pet will get much exercise and lengthy walks. During each walk each Pet will have completed their jobs in addition to their exercise. All Pets will be monitored and kept away from other dogs due to the fact that other dogs that are around may not be friendly. Pets will treated with respect at all times simply because the connection between i and the pet must be strong. In order for trust and the most optimal friendship to form I and the pet will have to initiate bonds. This will help wonders to getting the pet to listen while taking walks. I’ve owned 3 pets myself and came to learning a lot from each one. I was timid at first but I grew to love them overtime. Handling dogs is now like second nature. If you can identify the signs they give off then you can prevent a lot of accidents.
About: I have cared for dogs for 25 years, labradors primarily but also small dogs. We currently have a 1 1/2 year old black lab and also a 10 year old Beeshon Poodle. A fully fenced yard and 2 adults that work from home are typically always present. I am a real estate agent so I am home most days. I have 2 dogs so I am dialed into taking care of them on a daily basis. We have a fully fenced back yard, also we are within walking distance to a city park for afternoon walks. I am able to care for your dog without you having to worry at all.

Dogs are treated like family, with plenty of room to play, supervised outdoor time, and a comfortable home environment.I have been involved in a dog rescue for the last 10 years and cared for 100 of dogs from pregnant once, puppies, timid dogs , sick / special needs to senior dogs.

“Kendall was awesome! She was available on short notice and very prompt with her communication. We needed help with our dog as she was recovering from surgery and she was amazing with her. Can't wait to use her again!”
“Kathleen is a wonderful pet sitter! She showed genuine care and concern for the well-being of our three pets while we were away on our wedding and honeymoon. During her tenure, our eldest dog's health declined and she took extra care of her, as well as keeping us informed until she passed away. Kathleen graciously arranged for the disposition of remains with the local vet. This young women went above and beyond what would be reasonably expected of her including staying overnight to care for a sick dog. We recommend her services to everyone looking for a professional pet sitter.”
“Josh is great! He is respectful and responsible. Josh provided pictures of walks with our dog and closed gates which was reassuring to us while we were away. Our home was clean and tidy upon return. I highly recommend Josh and hope to book him in the future.”
“Lex was AMAZING! I have two German Shepherds—one 13 and the other 4–she handled them both with the appropriate amount of energy and affection. She is very intuitive and pays attention to dogs signals. She was in constant contact with me and sent lots of videos and pictures. She will want to do a FaceTime call and a meet up before any long stays. I highly recommend her!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

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.

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.

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.

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.
