“Serena did a great job with our 2 cats! We had to travel somewhat last minute shortly after getting a new cat and our girls were still adjusting to each other. She did a great job managing them and making sure they were taken care of!”
About: I've spent the last 15 years caring for dogs of every size - from tiny lap dogs to larger breeds - while regularly sitting and walking my parents' pups. I know that a Great Dane and a Chihuahua need very different things, and I'm comfortable handling both with confidence and patience. I'm also experienced with cats: when my sister and her family spent 10 days in Italy, I came by twice a day to feed their two cats and keep their litter box clean, so their pets never missed a beat while they were away. For the last 4 years, I've owned Hiro, a Shiba Inu rescue from the SPCA; he's wonderful with other dogs, but is reactive and distrustful of strangers. Through consistent basic and behavioral training, I've learned firsthand how to read stress signals, manage triggers, and build trust with a dog who needs a little extra patience - skills I bring to every pet I care for, reactive or not. Living with Hiro has taught me a level of attentiveness and calm energy that I think any pet parent would want in a walker and drop-in. Whether your pup is a laid-back senior, a bouncy puppy, or has their own quirks and triggers, I'll treat them like family. I'm reliable, communicative, and happy to send photo/status updates so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. Weekends (Fridays-Sundays): Available anytime. Weekdays (Mondays-Thursdays): - Mornings: 06:30 until 07:30 -Evenings: 19:30 until 21:30 Weekends (Fri-Sun) I am usually free all day with the exception of some personal appointments on Fridays. On weekdays (Mon-Thurs), I'm available for early morning visits (06:30-07:30) or evening visits (19:30-21:30) - great for shift workers, healthcare professions, or anyone with early/late schedules! Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priority. I treat every animal in my care as if they were my own - following your routines, feeding schedules, and any special instructions closely, and never leaving anything to guesswork. My approach is calm and structured, which comes naturally raising Hiro, my reactive Shiba Inu; I'm well practiced in reading stress signals, giving pets space when they need it, and creating a secure, low-stress environment for animals of all temperaments. I communicate openly and often, with photo and text updates so you always know how your pet is doing. Whether I'm in your home for a drop-in, or taking them for a walk, I make sure the environment is secure, hazard-free, and set up for your pet to feel relaxed. You can trust that your dog or cat will be safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for.
About: I’ve taken care of neighbors dogs for a few years now and still occasionally take care of family dogs! I love spending time with pets!

I take animals on long walks and to dog parks as well! I have treats for them and can use whatever you provide whether it be food, bedding, or toys!
“Dunkin loves when Colby comes by! She is great and was super mindful of the heat the past few weeks. I always appreciate the information she leaves me about her visit. She’s our go-to!”
About: I have been taking care of dogs for 10+ years . I treat all dogs like they are my own and make sure all their needs are taken care of. My weekends and nights are wide open to able to take care of your pup. I walk daily and love having a companion with me. I treat my own dogs as family and will treat other pets the same. Also follow owners instructions that pertain to a specific animal's needs.
“Joshua is the best! This is the second time he has watched our dogs while we were away. He took great care of our 2 dogs while we were on vacation for the week. He made sure they were fed and had lots of time to run and play outside. He gave us updates on how our pups were doing along with lots of pictures! It was nice to be able to relax on vacation knowing that our pups were being well cared for. We already booked Joshua again for our next vacation!”
“Richard is a good person and is very good with pets. I appreciate the fact that he was available in short notice to assist us in a pinch with our pet. I would recommend Richard for those in his service area.”
“Michael came by for a meet-and-greet before our upcoming trip, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. He took the time to go through our care instructions, walked the dogs, learned their feeding routine, and patiently listened to all the little quirks that come with our two bull terriers. The best part was how quickly our dogs warmed up to him. They’re usually a great judge of character, and they were comfortable with him almost immediately, which gave us a lot of confidence. Michael is friendly, professional, attentive, and genuinely seems to care about the animals he looks after. After meeting him, we’re leaving for our trip feeling much more relaxed knowing our two clown bull terriers will be in such good hands. We highly recommend him!”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover and the proud owner of my cat, Bubba, who has taught me a lot about patience, routine, and the small things that make pets feel safe. I’ve helped friends and family care for their dogs and cats for years: feeding, walks, playtime, medication, and just being a calm presence while they’re away. I’m reliable, communicative, and happy to send photo updates so you know your pet is in good hands. Whether your dog needs a long walk or your cat just wants company, I’ll treat them like my own. I have a flexible schedule and can fit pet care into most parts of my day. I’m available for morning and evening walks during the week, drop-in visits midday, and longer stays on weekends. I’ll always confirm timing in advance and stick to the routine you set for your pet: consistency matters, especially for younger or older animals. I offer drop-in visits and walks at your home, so your pet stays in the environment they know best. I’ll follow your house rules, keep doors and gates secured, and send photo updates during each visit. I live with my cat Bubba in a calm, smoke-free home, so I’m comfortable around animals who are shy or take time to warm up. If anything seems off, appetite, behavior, or health, I’ll reach out right away.
About: I've adopted many dogs, but started pet sitting for my much needed "fix" when my kids left the nest and couldn't help if i got another dog while I worked. I have dog sat at other people's house, at my house and do love senior dogs as much as young ones. I'm now retired and want to love on dogs. I just retired so i'm quite flexible. I love walking in general, and would enjoy the company of a pooch or 2. I'm good for just the day, overnight or extended needs. I always considered my own dogs as being family members. That said, they are allowed on the furniture. I have a small fenced back yard if your pooch doesn't want to walk in the rain or needs a late evening potty break. During the daytime, I like to walk a lot so your place or mine to give your dog's legs a stretch. I always have dogs on leash, no free running dogs are allowed in my development. I do belong to the Lower Makefield dog park if you are local and want to add me to your account to bring your dog there.

“Jahari helped us out last minute when we needed someone with an extra skillset to check in on our girl. We highly recommend him to anyone needing a pet sitter and in particular anyone needing the extra layer of assurance a vet tech can provide. He is super kind and accommodating and we are glad to have found him!”

“Brady did an excellent job caring for our pets while we were away. I was a little nervous leaving them since we recently moved and our German Shepherd Dog recently tore her CCL and this was their first visits with Brady. We had nothing to be concerned about though as Brady was so attentive and careful. She kept us in the loop with detailed reports, lots of photos and spent extra time giving love and attention to both our dog and our cat. We will definitely use her again in the future!”
“Peggy was wonderful with Luna. This was the first time someone other than our neighbor who has known Luna since we adopted her has cared for her. Luna immediately took to Peggy at our first meeting and was just as excited to see her when she arrived to take care of her. We already have her scheduled for another time.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Woodbourne
Me and my husband had a family that watched our cats over the years but time changes things and we needed a reliable pet sitter that the cats felt comfortable with. That person is Shirley T.. we did some research and found the Rover app. A lot of the sitters watch dogs, but Shirley had experience with cats. Shirley came to our house before we left to meet them and get some instructions. We have two Maine coon cats, Redd and Bear. Redd is usually skittish around new visitors and was on the bed when Shirley came. Shirley walked up to him, let him smell her hand first and right away was able to pet him. He was not nervous at all, which is highly unusual, That right there made us think she was the perfect fit. We needed someone twice a day to feed and provide company so we booked 2 1/2 hour visits per day with Shirley. Bear was very comfortable with her also. We received pictures every day for each visit. We loved having Shirley watch them for the 10 day trip so much that we’re booking her services again for a seven day trip in January. We will book Shirley for all of our upcoming vacations and highly recommend her. It was our pleasure having Shirley visit Redd & Bear. Thank you Shirley!!!
Hayley took excellent care of our triplets! Our 3 cats are just over a year old and have never been left alone for an extended period of time. We were a bit nervous to leave them for a week-long vacation, but due to Hayley’s daily communication and the numerous photos of our kitties she provided, we immediately knew they were in great care. Her love for animals is evident; she is very responsible and takes her job seriously. Thank you again, Hayley…. 5+ stars all the way!!
This is my second time booking Kimberly through Rover to take care of my kitty girl, Rizzo! She is very communicative and very nice. She does a great job with Rizzo, who is quite shy, yet seems to like Kimberly a lot! It won’t be last time booking with her as long as she is on Rover and available. :) thank you, again!! I felt at ease while away knowing she was in good hands
Elizabeth was wonderful! She was able to help us out last minute when an unexpected home renovation led to a weekend away, and we really appreciated her flexibility! She took great care of all four of our pets, was fantastic with communication, and kept us updated throughout the weekend. Our pets seemed to really like her, which made us feel even better about leaving them in her care. We would absolutely recommend Elizabeth and would happily book her again!
This was our first time using Alexa and she was wonderful!! Our kitties really liked her and followed her around everywhere. I could tell by the many pictures that our cats were super comfortable with her and enjoyed play time. She also went her way to accommodate our picky eater cat 😻 We felt comfortable being away and will Definitely use her in the future!!
I have had several good Rover sitters. None compare to Kendyl. You will see when you meet her that she is a warm, genuine person who exudes love for pets. She was the only catsitter that my cat ran to when she came in. She showed up on time. She carried out my many directions. She gave my cat medicine. Her photos of my cat were reassuring. When I got home, after almost two weeks, everything looked exactly as it did when I left—clean! I have an unfathomable, indescribable love for my cat. He is at least 17, with vulnerable health. I hate leaving him. I worry about him. I had Kendyl come three times a day. Thanks to her, I had peace of mind that contributed a wonderful vacation with my son. If you need a sitter, reach out to her right away. She has high demand for her reasonably priced service. Thank you, Kendyl!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Woodbourne is $24 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $31 per visit. On Rover, 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 November 2026, there are 9,128 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Woodbourne. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Woodbourne. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
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.
