“It was a pleasure having Deborah sit with our 14 year old pup Dexter. Deborah quickly responded to our initial inquiry and met with Dex and I shortly afterwards. She communicated the day before her scheduled sit and arrived promptly at an agreed upon time. She asked all the appropriate questions about feeding, Dexter's daily routine, and what she could do to keep him comfortable during our absence. Deborah communicated during her sit to let us know that all was well. We returned to a happy dog and a tidy house. Would recommend Deborah and we will be using her services again.”
“Claire is so sweet! She had very good communication both before and during our vacation which was important to us since this was her first stay with Ivy. She also sent us regular pictures that made being away easier - at least for us. We live out in the country so our dog has a WiFi collar in case she gets lost, but it also allows us to see her movement. We could tell that Ivy was getting good exercise daily and was being well cared for. We would definitely book Claire again!”
“Bry was so caring and loving to my pets my neighbors even noticed. She is very kind, Profesional and trustworthy. She was punctual and very communicative. I will definitely hire her again. I had s great experience using Rover for the first time. I felt very reassured and relaxed about the process”
“Elaine is a very caring person. I have a very elderly dog who is not easy to feed. Elaine takes the extra time to help her eat. I highly recommend Elaine to take care of your pets.”
“My wife and I love inviting Abigail to our home to watch our 2 dogs. We feel safe, secure, and at ease knowing our dogs are with her when we are away, which has not always been the case with other sitters we have experienced. We are grateful to have her and our dogs enjoy her presence!”
About: Hey, I'm Maia and I've been taking care of pets since the age of ten, I love all animals and personally have 3 cats but have also previously had two dachshunds. Throughout the years I've taken care of a multitude of animals from large golden retrievers to small rodents. I'm especially good with shy animals and I'm ready to take all the time it needs for your pet to trust me. No matter the size, age or personality I'm exited to get to know your furry friend and give them to the care they need! I'm currently a student out of state and am available during all brakes. During the summer and all major holidays I'm ready to give your pet my full and undivided attention. I love the outdoors and spend a majority of my time out of school hiking and taking runs thought the neighborhood and nearby nature. I love having company wether that be a friend or a furry pal. My three cats are fully indoors and get most of their energy out by playing with one another or running around the house with me. My yard is fully fenced in and I live in a very walkable neighborhood great for dogs. While I am well experienced with both cats and dogs I love to hear all your personal tips and tricks for your furry friend as you know them best!
About: Hi I'm Brittaney! Multi cat owner and Oregon Humane Society adult volunteer. I have 9 years of experience caring for cats, including feeding, litter care, playtime, and administering medication. I’ve also provided professional cat care during weeklong stays. For dogs, I offer gentle, reliable walks to help them stay active and happy. I make sure all pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved, paying attention to their routines and personalities so every visit is tailored to them. I provide daily cat care and dog visits on a semi-flexible schedule. Morning visits: M,W,TH,F 8:30/9am-9:30am and 9am-9:30am on Saturdays Mid-day visits: Wednesday 10:00–1:30pm Evenings: M,Th,S 6pm - any Unavailable: Tuesdays (Sabbath) & Sundays I do not provide overnight care at this time- sorry! Note: I work full-time, so a little flexibility with visit times is appreciated. I provide pet care only in clients’ homes for two reasons: I want pets to be in the comfort of their familiar environment and I have two cats of my own that are territorial. Your pets’ safety, trust, and well-being are my top priorities, and I want to make sure they feel loved, comfortable, and cared for while following their usual routines.
“Aspen is such a great house sitter! Our pups were well taken care of and given all the overnight cuddles they needed. Thank you so much Aspen for keeping our dogs and our home safe.”
“I had an excellent experience with Xanthia! She took care of Daniel twice a day and was incredibly reliable and attentive. Every time she visited, she sent detailed updates and pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Daniel looked happy and relaxed in every photo, and it was clear he was in great hands. I truly appreciated her care, communication, and kindness.”
“FANTASTIC 🎉 Lucinda provided such amazing care for my 2 puppers. Lucinda stay at my home for a week and cared for my puppers. I felt so comfortable and was able to enjoy my vacation. She communicated daily with updates and photos. I felt such ease knowing that my babies were getting their medicine and all the cuddles while I was away. As an added bonus she left my home cleaner than it was when I left for vacation.🤩”
“We really appreciated how attentive Katie was with our cats, they’re very spoiled, and she handled them perfectly! She was also super punctual. The love and care she gave our cats truly exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend her, and we already have another booking with her for next month!”
About: I’ve had fosters alongside my own pets my entire life, and couldn’t be more of an animal lover! I have an extra soft spot for seniors. I’m pet CPR & first aid certified, and have extensive experience with special needs pets. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions. I’d love to do a meet and greet with your babies! I promise I will treat them as if they were my own. I make my own hours and am happy to be flexible when needed! Caring for animals is second nature to me, whether simple or complex. I have dependable transportation and don’t mind driving to you. I’m home full time so can also come for multiple walks in a day, or overnights.
“Erin was such a great dog sitter! My pups were happy and well cared for while we were out of town. She sent lots of updates, pictures and short videos, which we very much appreciated. Definitely recommend Erin!”
“Such a nurturing dog-lover. Veronica was fabulous with my rambunctious pittie mix and my very shy JRT/Chihuahua mix. They both adored her (which was evidenced by the little one letting her take him for a walk!). Thank you so much, Veronica.”
“Emma is a great dog sitter. She was punctual, kept me well informed throughout, and regularly sent pictures and updates, which gave me real peace of mind. She also left the house clean and tidy. I would definitely recommend her.”
“Once again, Susan was fantastic with our Stella. The communication was clear and pictures she sent were great! We always feel comfortable leaving our pets with Susan!!”
About: As a pet parent myself, I know exactly what it feels like to walk out the front door and feel that instant wave of worry; leaving your furry family members requires an immense amount of trust, and my top priority is making sure you feel completely secure, updated, and at ease while you’re away. I bring extensive, hands-on experience caring for puppies, adult dogs, and cats of all personalities—whether that means managing a young puppy's strict potty-training schedule, giving a senior dog a gentle afternoon stroll, or respecting a cautious cat’s boundaries. I treat every animal in my care as if they were my own, and I am committed to following your exact routine while providing detailed updates and plenty of photo check-ins so you never have to guess how they are doing.🦮💜🐾 Pet care is my top priority, and I structure my daily and weekly life entirely around my work. Because I plan my personal schedule to fit the needs of my clients, I have an incredibly open, flexible schedule. Whether your pet needs a morning walk, a midday check-in, or evening care, I am fully available to ensure they get consistent attention and love exactly when they need it. When caring for pets, safety and comfort are my absolute top priorities. I live in a pet-friendly home with my own dogs, so I am deeply familiar with managing multiple animal dynamics and maintaining a secure, supervised environment—including the ability to keep my dogs completely separated from yours whenever needed. Whether hosting pets in my home or providing drop-in care and walks at yours, I strictly follow all specific care instructions, double-check that doors and gates are fully secure, and always keep dogs securely leashed during outings. My goal is to maintain your pet's exact routine so they feel completely safe, relaxed, and loved.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Sherwood is $55
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Sherwood
I adopted my 2 rescues 8 months ago and have not left them for more than 4 hours. They are anxious, reactive, and require a lot of activity and care. Because of a business trip, I needed in home care for them. Bill stepped in and calmly did the job. He sent many pictures of them playing. My dogs were calm and happy, and were sad to see him leave. This gives me great peace of mind knowing we will have someone we trust providing our sweet pups great care.
At this point, I'm pretty sure my cat likes Xanthia better than he likes me! She was so sweet and playful with him. On top of being great with the cat, she communicates well, is hyper responsible and took great care of our house. So grateful to have found her.
Jennifer was wonderful with Poppy and a very courteous and conscientious house guest. She kept me posted on how Poppy was doing throughout the week, including pics. Clearly, Poppy didn’t even miss us! Jennifer is one of her favorite people and we couldn’t be happier with the care and attention she gave our girl while we were away. Thank you!
Amanda took very good care of our 1 yr old American Staffordshire pit bull mix and our 13 yr old Staffordshire bull terrier. She did an excellent job with them. Her first stay was for 6 days We are happy to have her stay in our home again on our next vacation! We do recommend her highly!
Emily was great! So communicative with updates - she did a great job sending photos and videos of their time together. Our dog was naughty and got into some flour in the pantry and Emily got it all cleaned up and handled the small issue with ease. Would definitely recommend her and would hire her again if her schedule allows. Thanks for everything, Emily!
I had an emergency hospitalization and I was so thankful that Sal was readily available to come to my home and take care of my two Yorkies! She has a good heart and took great care of my two babies- which put my mind at ease while I was trying to get through my surgical procedure and heal! I would highly recommend her!

FAQs for House Sitting - Sherwood
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Sherwood on Rover is $43.29 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 4,667 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Sherwood. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Sherwood 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 Sherwood 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 Sherwood 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Sherwood. On Rover:
- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
