About: I have over 20 years of experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Throughout the years, I’ve provided dependable pet sitting for dogs, cats, and other companion animals, ensuring they receive the love, attention, and care they deserve while their owners are away. I understand that every pet has unique needs and routines, and I take pride in creating a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment for them. Whether it’s walks, playtime,, or simply providing companionship, I treat every pet as if they were my own. My schedule varies by the week. Sometimes I am around 24/7 other times I will be out of the house for up to 6 hours at a time. Reach out for availability. When your pet is in my care, they will receive plenty of attention, affection, and personalized care based on their individual needs. I make it a priority to maintain their normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special care instructions you provide. Whether your pet enjoys active play, relaxing companionship, or extra patience and reassurance, I will ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I pay close attention to their well-being and behavior, and I treat every pet as if they were a member of my own family, providing the care, respect, and kindness they deserve.
“Maurisa was great with our shy dog. She kept us informed of daily activities and also sent tons of pics. House was very clean when we got back. Our dogs blanket was folded across her bed too!”
“If I could give Leslie six stars I would. I felt comfortable as soon as she came through the door at the meet and greet. She’s great with the dogs, her communication is clear, professional, kept us updated throughout the day with texts and photos and took great care of the house. I’m looking forward to continuing to book with Leslie.”
“Debra was great- communicated frequently while she took care of our fur babies. Sent pictures and left the house cleaner then when we left! I’ve already asked her to help us out again in the future. Highly recommend.”
“We went out of town for a wedding and booked drop in visits for Norm. Kai and Devon were amazing. Kept us updated on norm and any packages that came to the house. Will definitely be rebooking again!”
“5 stars! Mike is AWESOME! He took excellent care of our two Rottweilers and our home while we enjoyed our honeymoon. Mike updated us via text and pictures regularly. We’d definitely book him again!”
About: I have a house where I can provide individual or group care for dogs. I co-own a dog named French Fry, who has been a significant part of my training experience. I am available for boarding on weekends, starting Saturday morning and continuing until either Monday or Tuesday evening. Additionally, I have availability during certain holiday periods. I have a partially fenced-in yard and a metal crate available for dogs if needed. I follow any instructions that pet owners provide. I have a peace and calm environment for dog care.
“This is our second time having Annie watch our new(ish!) rescue pup who is still very shy. Annie was super gentle and patient with our shy girl, flexible, and diligent about giving us professional updates throughout our trip. There wasn’t a moment I felt unsure of how our fur baby was doing. Highly recommend Annie for her stellar service!”
“Bobbi was 1000% amazing! She was very communicative and put us at ease while we were away knowing our pups were so well cared for all the time. Bobbi sent several photos and took great care of our home. Bobbi left a daily record of events. Our pups were clearly cared for and we will definitely trust Bobbi again! I would give her 10 stars if I could!!”
“Highly recommended! Great communication. Very responsible with detailed instructions and strict medical concerns, prompt responses, and updates. I can tell by my dogs behavior upon returning he felt safe and comfortable with adequate playtime and potty breaks! I will continue to re book :-)”
About: I grew up with rabbits and various small pets. My first dog, Toto, was trained by me in elementary and middle school. Now, I spend my evenings caring for others animals whenever possible! I work 7:30 am to 3 pm as a teacher! My day does allow for a mid day visit, distance depending! Free every evening for walks and lots of attention! Experienced with crate trained dogs and more free range styles. Love building trust with animals and keeping their days typical and calm while their owners are away!
“Alex was extremely responsive to my messages and even better, she asked great questions to confirm her understanding of what my dog and I needed! She was very attentive, patient, and kind in her care for my pup and I would recommend her to anyone in the area that is looking for a sitter.”
“We couldn’t be happier with our experience with Amanda! She is truly the best dog sitter we’ve ever had. Throughout the entire stay, she kept us updated with frequent messages and tons of adorable pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She took amazing care of our home and, most importantly, was absolutely wonderful with our high energy, anxious husky mix.”
“Karly is very kind and responsible. She took care of all four of my furbabies so well, they really enjoyed spending time with her. She’s respectful of all the house rules as well. I’m completely stress free when she house sits our pups and cats.”
About: I have cared for animals all my life. We've had cats, dogs, guinea pigs and hamsters. I have also volunteered at 2 animal shelters. I am newly retired. I play with my 4 cats every night with a laser toy and I also have a rod with a toy on the end of it that they love to play with. They all like to sit on my bed and watch TV with me. My cats help give me purpose. I treat them like my children. They all have different personalities that make me laugh! They are very affectionate.
“Colleen was fantastic! She communicated daily and kept our Bella safe and sound. I am very grateful to have found such a sincere sitter and will be seeking her services again.”
“Thank you Jenni and Matt for being so wonderful! We had the best experience with our older lab. Ellie is getting too old to stay at kennels and we are more comfortable having her home where she is familiar and happy. Jenni and Matt stayed with Ellie over the weekend and did an amazing job. They were there frequently, spent lots of time with Ellie, and communicated with us through text and pictures. We are so appreciative of their help and very happy we found people we can trust. We are looking forward to planning more trips and using Jenni and Matt's services.”

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 Woodacres 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 Woodacres 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Woodacres 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.
