“Melissa was an absolute dream to work with for my two standard poodles! She stayed at my house while I was away, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. When I came home, the house actually looked better than when I left it — everything was neat, clean, and in perfect order. She sent wonderful photos and updates throughout the trip, which gave me so much peace of mind knowing my pups were happy and well cared for. I came home to happy, relaxed, well-exercised dogs who clearly adored her. This was hands-down the best pet sitting experience I’ve ever had. I will definitely be using Melissa again for future trips! Highly recommend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”

We were so thankful for Maddy and it gave us great peace of mind to know that our dogs were in good hands while we were away!”

“Alexis was awesome! She responded quickly to messages and kept us updated with how our cat was doing through our vacation. Our cat can be very hesitant and intimidating in his behavior with new people - Alexis came right in without hesitation and put us to ease that she would work around him. I would absolutely recommend Alexis to someone in the area looking for a cat sitter. We will definitely look to Alexis next time we need cat sitting services!”

“Natalie was absolutely wonderful! We had never used Rover or had a pet sitter before, so we were a little nervous about leaving our dogs and having someone stay in our home. From the very beginning, Natalie made us feel completely comfortable and at ease. She took amazing care of our dogs, as well as my son’s dog. She was respectful of our home, and we had absolutely no issues while she was here. It was such a relief knowing our dogs were happy, safe, and well cared for. We are so grateful to Natalie and would definitely use her again. She was kind, trustworthy, caring, and dependable. We highly recommend Natalie to anyone looking for someone they can truly feel comfortable leaving their pets and home with!”

About: What makes me different as a sitter is the way I truly connect with each pet. I’ve cared for everything from bouncy puppies who need patient training to senior dogs who deserve gentle, comforting attention. I make sure pets feel loved, safe, and entertained while their families are away. I’m also happy to handle special needs like medication, dietary routines, or extra playtime. Most importantly, I treat every dog like they’re my own and keep owners updated with photos and messages so they always feel close to their pets🐾. I’m currently not working, I can board dogs whenever you need me too! I will always be there to take them outside if you need me too as well!! You just let me know & I will be there like the flash⚡️ When pets stay in my home, I make sure they feel safe and comfortable as part of the family. I provide a clean, pet-friendly environment with plenty of playtime, walks, and cuddles. I keep their routines consistent—whether that’s feeding schedules, crate training, or quiet time—and I always supervise to ensure they’re happy and secure. Then When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine so they feel calm and comfortable in a familiar space. I handle feeding, walks, playtime, and any special needs such as medication or training. I also make sure to keep the home tidy and provide updates so owners have peace of mind while they’re away.

“Five stars is not enough for the incredible care our two fur babies received from Catherine K.! From start to finish, Catherine was exceptionally professional and made the entire experience completely stress-free. Her communication was outstanding, providing us with regular updates and wonderful photos that kept our minds at total ease while we were away. It was clear from the moment she took over that our cats were in safe, highly capable, and loving hands. Catherine went above and beyond to maintain their daily routines and allowed them their space to become comfortable with her. If you want absolute peace of mind and a sitter who treats your pets like family, look no further than Catherine K. We will absolutely be booking her again!”

“Michael was AWESOME! Because of some behavior issues with our dogs, boarding them wasn't an option. This was our first vacation since COVID so our dogs had never been left alone. As you can imagine, we were nervous to find someone whom we trusted with our precious dogs. We had no reason to worry. Michael took the time to meet with us and our dogs before our trip. We reviewed routines and familiarized him to our home. During our vacation he kept in contact with us by messaging questions and updates with pictures. He was even able to get our dogs to let him put on their harnesses and go for walks (previously they only let us do that). Needless to say we felt very at ease knowing Michael was caring for them. We will definitely be using Michael again in the future.”

When Cathy left Belle sat in her window and cried. That was all we needed to see. It was obvious that they had formed a bond. Thank you Cathy for taking such good care of our “baby”. We wil be excited for your next visit and Belle agrees.”

About: Hi there! I've been pet sitting for 8 years and I genuinely love it. I've looked after dogs and cats of all sizes and personalities, so I'm happy to work with whatever your pet needs. I've also spent 6 years in the veterinary field, including my current job at a vet office! I work from home, so I have lots of free time to give your pet extra attention. I'm also comfortable giving medications to dogs and handling the little curveballs that come up. I'm studying to become a vet tech, and I put that same care into every pet I watch. Your fur baby will get lots of attention, love, and cuddles while you're away! I recently switched to working from home, and I take my classes online on my own schedule, so my days are super flexible. I'm home most of the day, which means your pet won't be left alone for long stretches. I'm happy to do walks, potty breaks, playtime, and check-ins, and I can stick to any feeding or medication routine your pet needs. Pet care fits right into my day, so nothing ever feels rushed! Your home, your rules! I'll follow your pet's routine and give them all the pets, cuddles, and love they'd get from you. You'll get photo/video updates while you're away, so you can relax knowing they're in good hands.

FAQs for House Sitting - Woodbine Forest

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Woodbine Forest on Rover is $89 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $62 and $114 per night. 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 October 2026, there are 7,734 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Woodbine Forest. 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 Woodbine Forest 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 Woodbine Forest 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 Woodbine Forest 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 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Woodbine Forest. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% 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.
