“I can’t recommend Gabriela enough! She helped me out on very short notice, and I’m so grateful she was available. My dog can be a handful—he’s big (around 100 pounds) and very affectionate—but she handled him with so much patience and confidence. It’s clear she really understands dogs, especially larger breeds, and knows how to manage their energy while still giving them the love and attention they need. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. If you’re looking for someone reliable, knowledgeable, and genuinely great with dogs, Gabriela is the one!”
“We left our precious Pomeranian with Leah for eight days, and felt confident that our pup was in good hands. We were not wrong. Leah was conscientious and reliable, getting to know our pup more each day, and they felt totally comfortable with each other after a short time. Leah was responsible and followed all of our directions to a T. She stayed in our home and took fantastic care of the house as well as the dog. We will continue to use her as our dog sitter and highly recommend her services.”
“Allison was just amazing! She sent many updates and pictures during her stay. She knows how to take control of dog behavior with her voice, authority...and of course treats. Mabel was happy and relaxed when I returned home ?”
About: I have been walking and watching for dogs since I was in high school and I am now 33, so it’s been a while. I have three of my own fur babies and I am very particular about who I let watch them. I understand our dogs are apart of our family, which is exactly how I would treat them. I love spending time with dogs, talking to them and making them feel special. I do have a full time job as a mental health therapist but my schedule is flexible which allows me to give the fur babies the correct amount of exercise and attention. I have spent time volunteering in shelters and I am able to work with dogs that may be more timid or shy. I work from home and so have a flexible schedule where I’d have the ability to help out with doggos. I use this as a side gig so I am very flexible. I have a fenced in yard for my dogs. I always carry extra leashes or harnesses with me in case they are needed. I will follow the instructions given to me by the owner.
“Gracie is absolutely wonderful! She is very friendly and easy to work with—she came right out to do an initial meet and greet to see if we were a good fit. She has been just great with our animals, clearly spending a lot of quality time with them, and she has been very reliable and responsive with communicating. Gracie is a great house guest too—she left the house in pristine condition ! We felt very comfortable leaving our home and animals in her care for the first time, and will be definitely be using her again. We highly recommend her services 😁”
“Kyla is great with our pups! She’s reliable and stays at our home with our pups while we’re gone. Kyla is great at communicating and we’ll continue to use her to care for our pups!”
“Alix watched my cat and dog for the second time for a week-long trip out of state. They both love spending time with her which I can see through the updates and pictures I receive throughout the day. Alix is communicative, takes direction, and left my home in good shape upon my return.”
“Hannah has been great to watch our dog multiple times when we are out of town. She is reliable with good communication throughout the stay. We will continue to reach out to her!”
“Amazing sitter and highly recommend!! Super relatable, chill, and loving with our pets. We really appreciate Daniel keeping us updated and even going as far as washing our sheets during his stay. So so nice, Thnks!! We can tell our babies has such an amazing time with you! Will definitely be booking again when we go out of town!”
“Amy was super happy when we got home from our week long trip. Monica was a fantastic petsitter and house sitter! I would definitely ask Monica to watch our house and Amy again.”
“Christina was great stopping in to feed and let my dogs out. She did great with one of my dogs who is very anxious. She also helped feed my guinea pigs while I was away which was very appreciated!”
“Stephanie did a great job. She and Tesla came to our home to watch Pancakes while we were away for the weekend. I got lots of photos and updates, which I love. We will definitely want them to come again!”
“I am so thankful to have found Gigi. I have separation anxiety from my dog as she is my whole world and Gigi from the very start gave me peace of mind. During the meet & greet my dog immediately felt comfortable with her and would approach her to play. I was able to enjoy my 5 day vacation with full peace of mind. Gigi made sure Emma (my dog) was full of love, care, and cuddles. She made sure to know all the care details Emma needed to get her to eat & play & walk. I honestly don’t think Emma felt my absence as Gigi fully took care of her. I came back to a very happy dog. I think she even misses Gigi. I feel immense peace and gratitude knowing I can leave to my next trip (which I have several coming up) knowing my dog is in the best hands. Thank you so much, Gigi!!”
“Zoe was incredible. Our house was clean when we came back home, and she handled all the animal care flawlessly. She checked in multiple times a day and went above and beyond making all our critters comfortable, even amidst a minor medical issue with our dog. We’ll be booking Zoe for all our trips in the future.”
“Wow, I cannot recommend Haley enough as a pet sitter!! My partner and I are extremely anxious about our pets (they are our babies) and Haley made us feel completely comfortable with their care. She really exceeded all expectations we had. We were able to enjoy our trip without stressing about our babies which is so rare! She sent us tons of updates, videos, and some of the best photos we’ve ever taken of our two cats and one doggy. We got updates throughout the day of their potty breaks, daily activities, and eating schedules. We have an anxious husky who will sometimes not eat when we are gone and Haley took such great care of her that she actually ate her food! That’s a great sign lol. Haley really went above and beyond, checking our mail, cleaning up around the house, and she took our instructions to heart! She took care of our pets as if they were her own and you can’t ask for anything more than that! Thank you so much Haley!!! Our pets say Hi and they miss you!!!”
“Will was great with our dogs! He great with up front communication, sent us pictures every day when we were gone and took such good care of them. We will use Will again for sure!”

Lindi was great with our dog. We have her house sit for two weeks, and she provided regular updates and took care of our girl while we were on vacation. Our dog is senior, so she had some extra needs - like frequent potty breaks and special food/ meds requirement, and Lindi did great with her. ( thanks, Lindi for all the love and care!).
Ellen was amazing. We will definitely use her again if she’s available and wants to come back! We have 2 cats and 2 dogs, one of which is anxious and takes a while to warm up. We had Ellen spend some time with our pets beforehand (given the anxious one) and EVERY visit she was on time and my pets loved her. She sent us a ton of pictures and updates which was great since I was a little nervous to leave our anxious girl for the first time.
I booked Journie to stay with my 12-year-old, blind American Eskimo and could not have been happier with how things turned out. She stayed in our home for 9 days and when I came back, everything looked just as I had left it. Spotless! She took great care of my sweet Sadie, administering her insulin shots every morning and night, walking her daily, sitting outside weather permitting, and playing ball on occasion. Sadie lets me know if her sitter is warm and welcoming or not, she won't speak to me for at least a day, will even growl if I try to pet her if her if the experience was subpar. But with Journie, that was not the case. Sadie was her usual happy and loving self when I returned, telling me she was well taken care of. Journie also took pictures and texted me often with short updates. She was very transparent upfront on what days she would be gone all day for work, which allowed me to reach out to a neighbor to let Sadie out mid-day for a potty break. I was extremely happy with Journie's care for Sadie and highly recommend her. I will definitely be reaching out to her again. Thank you, Journie!
Courtney was great! She sent a lot of pictures & communicated everyday on how Willie was doing. It definitely put our minds at ease knowing our little guy was being treated so good. She was great with giving him his needed eye drops everyday & we could tell when we got home they were administered correctly. She also took great care of our home. I would definitely recommend her.
Brittany has become a go-to house sitter for me. My dog loves her. Her schedule aligns really well with my remote working schedule so the pal is never alone for long periods. I can leave the house with complete peace of mind knowing she’s going to be here for both short and longer stays. Thank you Brittany!!!
Cecilia did an amazing job watching our dog and house while we were away on vacation. She was reliable, communicative, and took wonderful care of everything. Our pup absolutely loved her! We would highly recommend Cecilia to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Wynnedale is $50 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $73 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 Wynnedale 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 Wynnedale 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 Wynnedale 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.
