“We’re so thankful for Simone’s daily drop ins this past month! She has been flexible, responsive, and incredibly thoughtful while caring for our dogs. Huge plus is she takes play time seriously which our blue heeler loves! We highly recommend Simone to anyone looking for an awesome and trustworthy sitter.”
“Christen was so helpful and patient with us even when our house alarm gave her trouble. She kept us updated with photos each day and our cats were not afraid of her. That’s saying a lot with our oldest cat. We would definitely recommend her!”
About: I have owned and cared for many pets over the years but I've never have I ever gone a day in my life without a dog at my side. In high school, I received an animal psychology certificate From Halloy and Hugo where I studied the behavior and mentality of dogs and cats. They even had a section on rabbits. My family currently has 3 dogs (Winston, Buddy, and Toby), a leopard gecko (Randel), and a tortoise (Artemis). I am currently going to college in Spartanburg, SC while taking care of Artemis and Toby, who had recently hurt his back, in my apartment. I love going to new places, meeting new people, and new animals. I love caring for dogs of all sizes and I can't wait to meet new friends.
“Savannah did a great job with my wild man!!! He was so excited when she got here he kept jumping on her! She was able to re-direct him from this uncharacteristic behavior for him… Meeko seemed to enjoyed his visitor while I was gone! Thanks Savannah”
About: I have cared for and owned dogs almost my entire life. I have worked in best stores and worked in conjunction with vets. I may not know everything, but I know enough to care for animals in a compassionate manner. I currently have a lot of flexibility with my job, and I know what’s it is like not having enough time for my pets. So I am always eager to help. Your wishes are my command when it comes to your pets. I have pets of my own and I know the anxiety that comes with leaving them. I will do everything in my power to give your pets an enjoyable experience while respecting your wishes.
About: My family and I have always had multiple dogs raised from puppies to full grown dogs that I helped to care for. This includes walking, bathing, feeding, playing fetch, trimming nails and taking them to the vet. I have also taken care of our farm animals daily needs. I work part time and my day to day schedule is very flexible. I am open to same day sitting jobs if needed. I am available to take dog to the vet as well. I have one friendly dog that loves furry company. I can accommodate needs of sitting location, depending on client’s preference. I have toys, crates, treats and dog beds to ensure comfort and needs are met.
“Mason was FANTASTIC with our cat and provided constant communication, updates, and pictures while we were away! She’s fantastic and I highly recommend! Thank you Mason!”
About: I have loved and cared for pets my entire life. After years of looking after the animals of friends and family, I am excited to expand my services and provide that same trusted, dedicated care to your furry family members! I am a small business owner at a salon and also work part-time as a gym receptionist. Since my shifts are only 2 to 3 hours long, I have a lot of flexibility! As a proud owner of three cats, I know exactly what it takes to keep animals happy, healthy, and safe. I treat every pet in my care with the same patience and love I give my own. Whether your pet loves energetic playtime or quiet companionship, I tailor my routine to their specific needs. I am highly attentive to feeding schedules, clean environments, and providing plenty of affection so you can have total peace of mind while you're away!
About: I have had numerous pets since I was little, from ducks to dogs I can do it all! I have been pet sitting friends and family’s animals since I was 14 and even stayed the night/nights if requested. Also, I have 9+ years of customer service experience so I am very well rounded with people and strive to meet their needs! I can’t wait to meet and play with your fur babies! I have a full time job M-F but pet sit in my spare time! I love going for walks and like to run for exercise so your fur babies can get some sun with me! I am available to house sit during weekdays and weekends. I do work 9:30a-6pm M-F. I work from home! Some of my clients are okay with me working from their homes while I am pet sitting. I will make sure I ask that when I am getting to know you! (: ***Attention*** The rates I have posted on my Rover account differ from client to client. If you live more than a 4 mile radius from my home, I do have to increase the price for gas purposes. I always try my very best to accommodate families who are living on a budget. If you have any questions/concerns about this, please feel free to ask them. Also, as for safety, I do like to bring my mom along with me on the initial meet and greets and I’ll make sure I ask before doing so! I can come to your location or stay at your home whether it be 1 day or several! I always like to meet with clients before I stay at their home and meet your pets so that you can see how much I care about you and your pets and so you both can get to know me and be comfortable with the care you receive! Please inform me of all medications and what times they need to be administrated to your pet. Also, if they have any allergies or conditions I should be aware of (: I unfortunately can not offer my own home as a form of pet stay/care.
“Annabelle was right on time and communicated wellfor an hour drop in visit. This was our first time booking her and plan on booking her for future visits and sittings.”
About: I have taken care of small and large animals since I was very young. I currently work as a vet tech for my full time job, but love to look after people’s fuzzy family members in my free time! I am most free on the weekends or evenings for walks/drop ins/etc, but if you need a service outside of this time, please let me know and I will do my best to accommodate. I believe pets feel most comfortable in their own home, so I enjoy being able to do visits vs care in my home. I think this goes beyond their comfort while resting in their home but also allowing them to go on walk routes they are familiar with.
About: *AVAILABILITY: Saturday-Sunday: All Day Monday-Friday: Evenings after 5pm From high energy walks to relaxing snuggles, I tailor my care to suit your pup’s personality and needs! With a genuine love for dogs and 25 years of experience, I’ll make sure your furry friend feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s playtime, belly rubs, or adventures in the park, your dog will be treated like family! While I work full time, pet care is something I prioritize and fit seamlessly into my routine. I offer flexible hours for dog walks, pet sitting, and visits around my work schedule. During the day, I make sure to take a break to check in on pets, give them attention, and ensure their needs are met. On weekends and evenings, I enjoy spending quality time with pets, whether it’s playtime, walks, or cuddles! In my home, I provide a safe, comfortable space for pets to play, relax, and get lots of love. I have a fenced in backyard and a friendly dog to keep your pup’s company! When caring for pets in your home, I stick to their routine - feeding, walking, and offering companionship. Whether it’s at my place or yours, I treat every pet like family and ensure they feel safe and cared for!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a kid. I grew up with multiple dogs in my home and loved every second of it. I don’t mind watching dogs of all ages. I’m also used to walking dogs of all sizes big and small. I am currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to watch or walk your animals! I am definitely available to work weekdays and most weekends. My home does not have a yard so I prefer to watch your animals at your house. I don’t mind crating your animals while I’m gone if you need me to. They will definitely get a lot of attention from me because I love giving them pets (if they want it of course).
About: My pet-sitting rule? Your dog rules the house. Everyone's like "you shouldn't let the dog on the couch"... your dog could literally take out a loan in my name if he wanted to, I'm not telling him no! Beyond being their biggest fan, I’m super experienced with all kinds of dog care needs. Whether it's managing puppy chaos with consistent training routines or giving senior dogs the extra patience, gentle care, and meds they need, I've got it handled. You'll get constant photo updates and complete peace of mind while you're away! Being a college student basically gives me the ultimate flexible schedule! I’m not stuck in an office all day, so your pet becomes my official study buddy. Between classes, my calendar is totally wide open. That makes it super easy to stick strictly to your pet's routine—whether that's midday potty breaks, morning and evening walks, or sticking to strict meal/medication times. Basically, my routine revolves around studying and hanging out with pets, so yours gets all the love, walks, and focus they deserve! When caring for pets in your home, I focus entirely on safety, routine, and respect for your space. I make sure your pet stays comfortable in their familiar environment while strictly following your guidelines for feeding, meds, and playtime. I take home security seriously, double-checking locks, gates, and windows, and I keep your living space tidy by cleaning up any pet messes or tracking right away. You can count on a spotless home, a happy pet, and plenty of photo updates while you're away!
About: I've been caring for cats and dogs since I was 10 years old - over 24 years of hands-on experience. From my own childhood pets to helping neighbors, friends, and family, I've walked, fed, bathed, and loved dogs of all sizes and temperaments.I have trained old dogs to do new tricks. I treat every pet like my own, because to me, they are family. I currently have a flexible schedule, which means your pet gets real time and attention - not just check-ins between a packed day. I'm available for house sitting, and I'm happy to send photo updates so you always know your pet is happy and safe. I would love to get out of the house for a couple hours each day, but also understand if you want me present 24/7. I provide calm, attentive care in your pet's own home. I'm experienced with crate routines, feeding schedules, medication reminders, and keeping anxious pets comfortable. Your pet's safety and peace of mind (and yours!) are my top priority.
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Goodwood is $20
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Goodwood
Tracie showed up promptly every day and took great care of my 3 cats. I even saw them on the security camera waiting by the door for her to arrive in the morning. She sent several pics each day and a little note about each one's behaviors (eating, hiding, etc). I highly recommend her and definitely will plan to use her services again!
From the moment Lauren came by to meet Athena, you could tell that she loves cats. Athena is shy at first with strangers, but she even let Lauren pet her! Lauren did a great job at taking care of Athena and made sure to give me updates every time she did a check in. I would recommend her services and would like to rebook with her in the future.
She was absolutely wonderful with my dog! She was very kind, attentive, and made me feel comfortable knowing my dog was in good hands. She kept me updated and took great care of everything. I really appreciate her and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to watch their pets! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Ms. Jamryiah was very kind and patient with both me and my dog. I was initially nervous about allowing someone into my home and trusting them to care for my dog, but she did an excellent job. She communicated effectively throughout the process, and my dog truly enjoyed his time with her. I highly appreciate her professionalism and care.
Delayed review because I thought I left one but I didn’t! Sorry🫶🏽 Hannah was incredible, she was able to step in last minute for me and take care of Ozzie. Ozzie loved her and I know he would love for her to drop in again if I need it. Hannah was so kind and communicated well! 10/10 recommend will definitely book again in the future!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Goodwood is $19 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $27 per visit. 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 November 2026, there are 546 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Goodwood. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Goodwood. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% 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.
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.
