About: Hi! My name is Katharine, and I’m currently a social work student working toward my bachelor’s degree with a passion for helping others, which includes animals! I’ve always loved being around pets and understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy, patient, and caring to look after them. I’ve owned my dog for the past 10 years, which has given me hands-on experience with daily pet care, routines, exercise, and providing lots of love and attention. I also regularly dog sit and cat sit for my neighbors, so I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities, needs, and routines. I’m currently a college student out for the summer, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I have open availability 7 days a week. I’m able to be flexible with walks, drop-ins, feeding schedules, and playtime to meet each pet’s needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, medication if needed, playtime, and any house rules or routines your pet is used to. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and supervision while keeping the home clean and respectful. I also provide updates and photos so owners can feel reassured that their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for while they’re away.

About: Hi, I’m Jessica. My love for animal care started in 2018 when my family rescued our dog, Chase, from a puppy mill in Pennsylvania. Helping him feel safe, understood, and confident pushed me to learn more about dog body language, temperament, leash behavior, and how to care for each dog based on their needs. I originally entered college as a pre-veterinary Animal Science major and gained hands-on experience with animals, including sheep. I also competed in UConn’s Little I competition and placed second. Later, I shifted toward human medicine and changed my major to Allied Health Sciences on the pre-med track, but my love for animals never left. I also worked as a kennel assistant, where I cared for pets in a boarding environment and learned how important routine, safety, patience, and clear instructions are. Dogs are my strongest area, but I also have experience with cats and small animals through feeding and basic care. For pets with more specific needs, I’m very willing to learn and follow your instructions carefully. Before caring for your pet, I’d love to know their routine, temperament, walking style, triggers, favorite activities, nervous habits, and how they do around other dogs, cats, strangers, children, loud noises, or new environments. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, reactive, slow to warm up, or just very particular, I’d rather know upfront so I can care for them safely and calmly. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, companionship, and basic routine reinforcement. I’m not a professional trainer, but I’m happy to follow the commands and routines you already use. My goal is to keep your pet safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for while giving you clear updates and peace of mind. My schedule is currently flexible, especially for drop-ins and walks. I’m usually available during morning, afternoon, and evening time blocks, and I do my best to plan visits in a way that gives each pet enough time, patience, and attention. I’m also happy to discuss your pet’s usual routine so I can keep things as consistent as possible while you’re away. In a client’s home, I care for pets by following their normal routine as closely as possible. I pay attention to doors, gates, leashes, food instructions, litter areas, water bowls, and anything the owner tells me is important. I also like to know about each pet’s temperament, triggers, hiding spots, leash behavior, and comfort level with new people so I can keep the visit safe and calm. For walks, I make sure pets are securely leashed before leaving the home and avoid unnecessary interactions with unknown dogs or people unless the owner says otherwise. I’m patient with shy, nervous, excited, or slower-to-warm-up pets, and I’d rather move carefully than rush them. I’ll also send clear updates, so you know how your pet is doing.
About: Life time owner of cats and dogs throughout his life. Has been watching friend and family pets for several years. Experienced with cats and small to medium sized dogs. I currently work full-time in office Mon-Fri, but am available weekends and weeknights (including overnight). I can be flexible to accommodate your needs. I will meet with potential clients face to face prior to accepting any request. Firstly, to go over any specific needs or questions of your pet and second, to get to know you as an owner.
“Excellent sitter! I felt so comfortable with leaving my cat with them from the second we met, and I got wonderful updates my whole trip. They were on time every day, and gave my cat the attention he deserves. Would have them watch him every time”
About: All my life, I have had an affinity for animals. Growing up, I had rabbits, ducks, iguanas, and cats. I have walked and watched dogs both big and small, ranging from chihuahuas all the way to labradors. I treat every animal as if it were my own, with great love and affection, paying close attention to their needs and personalities. I am familiar with different training styles, but I know that there isn't a one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to dogs. I'm currently working freelance, so I have the freedom to set my own schedule. I can spend time with pups who prefer early morning walks, walk dogs who need a noontime break, or even house-sit for those furry friends who are most comfortable in their own homes. Caring for animals in their family's home means keeping up with routine and making sure that they are having a fun, relaxing time so as not to miss their owners too much. I pay close attention to client instructions and make sure to take the time to get acquainted with the furry friend in my care. I update clients with status updates and photos to let them know that their pet is safe while they are gone.

About: I’m great with all kinds of dogs — active pups who love playtime outdoors and calm dogs who enjoy peaceful, relaxing moments. I adjust my care to fit their personality and make sure they feel comfortable and loved. I am currently working full time Monday through Friday. Anytime outside of working hours I will be open and ready to provide care! Weekends and early morning I am also available. I keep each pet’s care as consistent as possible with their normal routine. I also make sure every dog gets extra attention so they always feel safe, happy, and comfortable.

I would strongly recommend Abigail to everyone! She was extremely thorough when asking about all of our pet’s needs. She was prompt, communicative, and exceptionally friendly with us. Plus, it is so apparent how much compassion and love she has for animals. Will definitely be hiring Abigail in the future. 10/10.
Bruce was able to help us with walking and feeding our dog Bergie on short notice. He took great care of him (we’ve never left him with someone other than family) and Bergie loved him. I appreciate how communicative Bruce was and that he gave Bergie lots of attention and exercise.
Catie was excellent. We booked last minute for dog-walking, because our regular sitter canceled last minute. Catie met with Gnocchi beforehand and was very professional and reassuring. No issues, always very prompt with check-in notes and photos. Would absolutely book with Catie again.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Woodbridge stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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!
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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Woodbridge with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
