Safety, trust & environment

I care for all pets like they are my own. I talk to them like people and include them in all the life happening around them. I respect their boundaries greatly and I know that parameters can change from day to day. I’m malleable to their needs 100% of the time.

Information Woody H. would like to know about your pet

I will be absolutely focused on whatever your pet’s needs are. Just give me instructions and I will follow them to a T! I am attentive and will report ANYTHING that seems off with your pet.

A typical day

I will play with your pets to their comfort level. I will be extremely patient on walks with them. I have set my settings on Rover so as to not do too much in a day that way I’m in no rush EVER and we can just take our time together. I will endlessly throw balls or frisbees or a stick if that’s their preference. I will provide all the petting they can stand!!

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE OUR FURRY FRIENDS

Pet care experience

I’ve been caring for animals so long that I don’t really know a life without them… and I wouldn’t want to!!! I believe animals are just as unique as people and deserve to be loved unconditionally… sans my conditions… and only theirs.

Woody does such an amazing job - we can tell our pup loves them! Woody also shares great photos and videos, and always leaves the house so clean. Highly recommend booking Woody!

I see why Woody has gotten so many positive reviews about both the care they provide for the dogs but also the person they are. I am so particular about who cares for my dogs while I’m away and woody made me feel so secure!!!! My dogs adored her and so do I!! They updated me throughout the day and sent personalized videos. They were attentive and listened carefully when I discussed my dogs and what they’re used to. You can tell she really cares. On a personal note - Woody is a bright light of a person, such a pleasure to have found them and met them for future dog sitting needs. Thank you Woody

Woody took great care of our scaredy pup Bella. Bella can be challenged when new people come into her life. Woody took steps to help Bella with this and was able to gain her trust. We hope highly recommend Woody for your pet's care.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
