“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!”
“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.”
“Alexis did an excellent job house sitting for our Golden Retriever! Sent lots of pictures of our pup during our trip, excellent communicator and really cares for animals. Would highly recommend!”
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.

“Alexis and Jacob were very communicative and easy to work with! They took good care of my pets and left the house neat and tidy. Would recommend and hire again!”
“Bri took care of our 4 pets with ease and care. She was super communicative throughout the stay and was an absolute dream to work with. Highly recommend!”
“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.”
“Anastasiya took such good care of our boy while we were out of town! She was super communicative and absolutely set our minds at ease. Would definitely recommend her to take care of your fur babies!”

“Lucinda took great care of my three cats during the holidays! One of my cats had a life threatening medical emergency last Christmas, so I was nervous to head out of town, but knew each of my cats and my house were in great hands.”
“Julia is awesome and truly a miracle worker. My sweet kitty is 7 years old and is petrified of anyone but me. With me she is so lovable. I live in a condo and no one in the complex believes I have a cat. She was adopted 9 months ago so I am not sure of her background. I was gone a week and Julia had her out and about within 36 hours. I got regular updates and pictures during the week. Julia is awesome!!”

“I cannot say enough good things about Adeline. She took great care of my puppy and communicated through the whole time. She asked about walks and connecting with other dogs. Will for sure use her again.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Sherwood
Erin did in house pet sitting for my dog and cat while I was visiting my son for 4 days. Walked the dog daily, which I'm sure he enjoyed since that is not the case when I am home. Washed and remade the guest room bed, no dirty dishes in the sink and the house was just the way I left it when I returned home at midnight. Will be on my sitter list if I need her in the future.
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.
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Sherwood on Rover is $41.92 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 4,690 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.

- 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.
