“I booked Melanie literally like a week before my trip. She made accommodations and met me the next day after booking to come meet our lil Henry! She replied to my texts super fast and was open about any needs or questions. She kept me updated regularly and sent lots of pictures which allowed me to enjoy our time away!!! On top of caring for Henry, she was genuinely funny and enjoyable to communicate with. It was clear to me that she truly cared and treated him like he was her own! I already got another lil gig for her because I know for a fact he'll be in good hands! LOVEEE HERRRRR!!! 10/10!!”
“Very attentive and caring with my pup. Zeus loved her and was the most at peace I’ve seen him after having someone look after him. She was able to help me in a bind and was very respectful of my home. She left everything so tidy! Will definitely rebook.”
“Stephanie did a great job with our little zoo! She made our time away from home stress free. Our pets were happy and healthy when we returned. We returned to a home that was as clean as when we left it. We would definitely book her again.”
“Thank you so much for taking such good care of our pup (again!) It was a huge relief to know he was well cared for. Thanks for being so patient with him. Will definitely book again in the future!”
“Charlene was great. She sat both our dog and cat at our home and we were very happy with things went. She was very communicative and left the place in great condition, and both Finn and Rey were well loved. We would use Charlene again.”
“Diana was very nice and professional. She gave me peace of mind while I was away for 6days. She was very patient with my senior dog , my other dog that has really bad anxiety and with me ! She sent me photos and kept me updated. I already recommended her to all my family and friends that also have dogs. I am definitely going to rebook with her again !”
“Ramona did an excellent job watching our active puppy. She was great at getting him out for long walks and spending time with him. Left our house in great condition. Would definitely rebook!”
“Taylor is a great sitter and our baby dog loved her. She was on time, responsive, and responsible. She's very calm and was so good with our very active boy. She also kept us updated and sent great photos - particularly nice for nervous parents.... Highly recommend her and would give more stars if I could!”
“Daniella is wonderfully attentive to our 4-month-old puppy’s needs. Ash is still in the midst of potty training, and Daniella patiently observes Ash’s cues to ensure he makes his potty breaks on time. She doesn’t hesitate to spend time with him in his indoor playpen, actively engaging him in play while ensuring his safety, especially now that he can reach the top panel at chest height. Daniella also keeps our daily journal up to date with Ash’s meals and potty schedule, which helps us stay on track with his routine. We’re so grateful for her care and attention.”
“Reyna is a fantastic 5-star sitter! Our energetic, 11-week old American Bully puppy, Ash, isn’t completely vaccinated yet, which is why we were in search of an in-home pet sitter. Caring for Ash is no small task as he’s also being potty trained but Reyna went above and beyond every single day. From the moment she walked in our home, it was evident she understood puppies. She got down on the living room floor to be at his level and started playing with him. He instantly took a liking to her as he rapidly wagged his tail and gave her snuggles. We were so impressed by the honesty in her profile, where she says her love for animals is what sets her apart as we can say without a doubt that it’s 100% true! From the moment she met Ash, her patience, attentiveness, and genuine love for him shone through instantly. Ash was happy, well-exercised, and clearly adored when we arrived from work each day, which says everything about the level of care he received. We were amazed at how well Reyna managed his boundless energy, kept his feeding and potty routine on track by journaling each event, and still gave him plenty of love and playtime. Reyna even took extra time to work on his crate training and manners, thoughtfully reinforcing the routines and lessons we’ve been teaching him. It’s rare to find someone who cares for your pet as if they were their own and even rarer to fully trust someone in your home but Reyna truly earned that trust. We felt complete confidence leaving Ash in her care while we were at work. Every time we texted to check in, she replied right away with the sweetest updates that instantly warmed our hearts and reassured us that Ash was truly in the best care. We’ll absolutely be booking Reyna again. If you’re looking for a trustworthy, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring in-home pet sitter, no need to scroll further as a Reyna is truly awesome!!!”
“Ashlee is the best! She is so good with my doggies. She has to work to get them to warm up to her and then they fall in love with her. She house sits for us and even sleeps with our “girls” on the bed. She goes above and beyond so we always know we come home to happy doggies and a clean and well kept home! 5 stars!!!!”
“Lily is amazing! Extremely conscientious, followed all instructions to a T, great communication and sent so many photos. And most importantly, the pups loved her. So happy to have found Lily!”
“I was extremely lucky to book such a qualified professional on such short notice. Communication and preparation was an easy process first of all. At the same time, while I was away from home for my military obligations, communication and updates stayed consistent. Aicha even double-checked to make sure I was receiving her messages. I was in a very isolated area doing mountain warfare training, and at the same time studying for tests to advance my career. Just saying, I could have been more responsive if I wasn't so busy. Aicha still went above and beyond to ensure I knew Chief was well taken care of. This fact was reinforced upon my arrival home. Chief actually seemed kind of sad that he wasn't seeing Aicha every day!! Aicha is amazing and will provide your pet with more than enough love, care, and affection. She is a TOP provider and I highly recommend her to others!!!!”
“Ryan is wonderful with our pets! He is able to handle our 92 pound hyper 10 month old lab and our 15 year old anxious chihuahua. Ryan communicated the perfect amount with us during our trip and left our house in the same condition as when we left. We already have him booked for our next vacation! Thanks Ryan!”
“Cheryl was great with my two dogs and cat. Followed their routines, sent daily photos and updates and left my house cleaner than when I left! I would definitely book her again.”
About: I’ve grown up around animals my entire life and have always had pets of my own. Caring for animals comes naturally to me because I truly love being around them. I’m comfortable feeding, walking, playing with, and giving lots of attention to dogs/cats of different sizes and personalities. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to check in on, care for, and spend time with their pets. I’m patient, responsible, and attentive to each animal’s unique needs. I understand how important pets are to a family, and I treat every animal like my own. Because I’m currently taking online classes, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets more attention throughout the day. I’m available on weekdays and weekends and can accommodate morning, afternoon, or evening visits. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I make sure each pet gets dedicated time, exercise, and attention. I’m reliable, responsive, and happy to send regular updates and photos so you always feel connected while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. In a client’s home, I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, routines, medications, and house rules. I respect your space and keep everything clean and secure. I make sure doors and gates are properly closed, pets are supervised during walks or playtime, and any special needs are handled with care. I create a calm, positive environment so pets feel safe and loved while you’re away.
“Great experience! Gabby was Awesome!!! On-time, super easy, and responsive! She took very good care of our doggies and our home!!! We will definitely reach out to Gabby in the future!!! Thank you!!!”
About: I've grown up with animals of all types and have extensive experience with dog behavior and training. I have a calm yet confident presence when working with animals that allows them to respect and respond appropriately. I currently have a 7 yr old Shih Tzu and a 2 yr old Maine Coon, and help my mom and siblings and daughter with their own dogs frequently (a Goldendoodle, a Frenchie, a Husky, and another Shih Tzu). I work remotely full-time and would love to earn extra income by pet sitting! For drop-in visits, I am fully available Sat/Sun, but Mon-Fri I'm only available between 6:00-7:30am and any time after 4:00pm. As long as I can work from your home during the week for consecutive overnight weekday stays that require me there 24/7, I am more than open to that as well. I would follow any specific directions and ensure your pet's regular routines and comforts are followed as closely as possible in my care. I am also comfortable making any decisions in real-time as needed to accommodate.
“Natalia did a wonderful job taking care of our senior cat and our house. She was highly communicative, very flexible as our plans shifted, and sent tons of adorable photos and videos that were so reassuring to us as we traveled. She left our house in better shape than we did, and was generally a pleasure to work with. Highly recommended!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Woodbridge is $59
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Woodbridge
This was our second time booking Diana and we had such a pleasant experience once again! She looked after our kitty Yumi so well and made her comfortable and treated our home as her own and kept it so well maintained. Will happily rebook her the next time we need a pet sitter again :)
Shannon did a great job taking care of both our boys. She adapted well to the schedule including food, treats and medicines. She regularly kept us updated with pictures. After an initial adjustment the first couple of days the boys got very comfortable with her and we came back to very content and happy faces.
She was a wonderful dog sitter. She was very attentive to our dog. She also gave us an update and sent pictures of him as well. She lives in a nice beautiful area in Lodi and her house was definitely safe and clean. I would definitely recommend her to anyone out there that needs any type of dog sitting, and we will definitely be booking her in the future 1000%.
Jackie was amazing! She stayed with our pup while we were overseas on vacation and it was easy to enjoy our trip knowing he was in good hands. She was very kind, caring, and communicative and we could tell that he was enjoying spending time with her. Would highly recommend!

FAQs for House Sitting - Woodbridge
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Woodbridge on Rover is $68.82 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 2,080 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Woodbridge. 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 Woodbridge 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 Woodbridge 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 Woodbridge 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 Woodbridge. On Rover:
- 93% 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.
