“We had some miscommunication at the start, but they were very quickly and professionally addressed. Our hound was clearly happy and our house was immaculate”
“Our pup was in great spirits when we arrived home - Alex did a fantastic job caring for our older pup in our home and we have already reached out to Alex with additional pet sitting requests.”
“If I could give Dahn 10 stars I would! When our original dog sitter canceled just days before vacation we luckily found Dahn! She is responsive, caring and completely reliable as an overnight pet sitter. Her communication is superb and her attention and dedication to our 2 pups was outstanding. Highly recommend and will be calling her again!”
“Although I hate to say this out loud for fear of them booking up too fast 🤫 they were wonderful… faced with wind, rain and a power outage not to mention a lively 9 month old pup, they took great care of him. They also shared some practical training tips! I would not hesitate to call on them again!”
“I was so, so very happy with my decision to hire Heather to watch my dogs! She was responsive, to-the-minute on time, kept me updated, and just in general really gave me a strong sense of confidence in her reliability and responsibility. She was even nice about my dog who hates going out in the rain and thus occasionally has accidents in the house (and he did, during her visit, because it was raining). I will absolutely be asking to hire her again; I am just very, very happy with the quality of care she brought to my pups! Very happy to have found her and would absolutely recommend her to anyone!”
“Hannah was amazing! She responded any time I contacted her, was punctual when meeting the dogs for the meet and greet, and during her stay she sent photos and kept me apprised of how the dogs were doing. I have a very elderly high-maintenance dog, and she handled him with grace and compassion. She truly went above and beyond to make them comfortable and less anxious. She is welcome in my home anytime!”
“Jen is amazing Melvin was so Well cared for and she texted me and let me know what was going on I never left him alone all day like that so having her here was wonderful she was amazing I would trust her Melvin is blind and deaf but he was well cared for”
About: Hi! This is a joint account with my partner and myself. We cared for dogs of all breeds and sizes since we were young of age. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted us for years to walk, feed, bathe, and give loving attention to their pets. We are experienced with both energetic puppies and senior dogs who need a gentler approach, and we treat every pet as if they were my own. This is a joint account with me and my partner. We always have full availability and always are looking to take care of your pets! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow any specific routines or instructions you provide. I make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well looked after, whether that means sticking to feeding schedules, administering medications, or keeping their environment clean and comfortable. I always respect your home and your pet’s space.
About: I can't imagine my life without animals. My family has owned several different species of animals since I was born, and I now own a standard poodle and domestic short hair cat. I understand they are not just an animal, but a member of the family who needs to be treated as such. I am comfortable walking, grooming, and feeding any size and aged dog. Walking can either be at a slow pace, or jogging, I just have to be informed prior. If I am dog sitting, I will be sure to give extra pets and loving to each animal, and can also groom the dog if requested. Looking for consistent clients.
About: I’ve had multiple pets throughout my life whom I loved and took care of well through all stages of their lives. I’ve worked with dogs on basic commands and cared for my dog that passed from years of cancer. Most of my care was toward my own pets, but I love all animals! I am currently home for the summer, and I have a pretty open schedule to walk, check in on, and pet sit! My schedule is very flexible to work with whatever time I’m needed. I have a fenced in yard with grass, as well as a pool in the backyard. I no longer have any pets of my own, but many toys!
“Karina and Teresa, both came to hang with our pups during Christmas while we took a day trip to visit family. Not only did they come in clutch with accepting the kinda-last-minute holiday need, but they were PERFECT for our dogs. They were super communicative and kind and from the minute they met our dogs, till the moment we got home, our dogs loved them and we knew they were in good hands. I’d say book them immediately, but we also selfishly want them all to ourselves! You can’t go wrong with trusting Karina and Teresa with your babies ❤️”
About: What services do you offer? I offer personalized pet care including pet sitting, overnight care, dog walking, feeding, playtime, exercise, and general pet care. I’m also happy to provide grooming and follow specific routines, medications, or care instructions when needed. What experience do you have? I have 10+ years of hands-on experience caring for animals, including dogs, cats, birds, fish, and reptiles. I’ve cared for family and friends’ pets and have experience working with different personalities, routines, and care needs. Why should you hire me? I’m dependable, attentive, patient, and genuinely love animals. I treat every pet as an individual and make sure they receive the attention, exercise, affection, and care they’re accustomed to while you’re away. Any special qualifications or training? I have extensive hands-on experience with a variety of animals and have trained my own pets. I’m comfortable reinforcing existing training and following your preferred methods and routines. What’s your availability? I have flexible availability and can accommodate overnight stays, regular visits, dog walks, and short-notice bookings when my schedule allows. Rate: $110/day Going away or need an extra hand with your pets? Message me with your dates and tell me a little about your pet—I’d love to provide them with loving, personalized care while you’re away! Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I’m an Airbnb host and property manager, which gives me a flexible schedule and the ability to manage my time around the pets in my care. I’m accustomed to being organized, responsive, and attentive to details while managing a property, coordinating guests, and maintaining a welcoming, well-kept environment. I also have 10+ years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, birds, fish, and reptiles. I’m comfortable maintaining feeding schedules, providing exercise and playtime, handling daily routines, and giving pets plenty of companionship and attention. Because my work is flexible and largely self-managed, I can accommodate daytime visits, walks, extended stays, and overnight care. I’m able to structure my schedule around each pet’s routine rather than expecting them to fit around a rigid workday, which allows me to provide consistent, attentive care while their owners are away. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or mine, I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including meals, walks, playtime, medications, rest, and bedtime, while giving them plenty of attention and companionship along the way. In your home, I’m respectful of your space and take pride in leaving things just as I found them. As an Airbnb host and property manager, I’m accustomed to being responsible, organized, and attentive to the details that make a home feel comfortable and well maintained. Most importantly, I take the time to get to know each pet individually. Some thrive on activity and attention, while others prefer a quieter pace and a little space. My goal is to provide thoughtful, dependable care that keeps your pet happy and comfortable—and gives you peace of mind while you’re away.
“Can we get 6 stars for Dave?! Dave was wonderful with our dog. He communicated very well with us and took pictures of our dog throughout the week. He even took care of things around the house like watering our garden, getting the mail and even emptying a dehumidifier!”
“Archie was an amazing cat sitter for my two babies!! This is my first time using a pet sitter for my cats. I have a senior girl who was just recently diagnosed with IBD and requires a special diet and daily meds, and a rambunctious kitten who will do his darndest to be the cutest troublemaker you’ve ever met. Archie was amazing to work with, has extensive experience working with cats, and made me and my partner feel at ease! If you are looking for someone to watch over your feline friends, Archie is the best! I will definitely use them for future bookings.”
“Chris is great with Shiloh. I began very slowly with Chris because of my dog's attachment to me and separation anxiety. CHRIS is patient, accomodating and flexible. Shiloh did very well yesterday during his first visit to Chris's house.”
“We had such a wonderful experience with her and would absolutely book with her again!! We have 8 pets, so leaving them with someone new is a pretty big deal for us, especially because a few of them have specific care needs. She made us feel comfortable from the very beginning. She was incredibly communicative throughout our trip and sent us tons of pictures and updates. She even let us know when she was leaving the house and when she planned to return, which we really appreciated. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing what was happening at home while we were away. It was obvious from all the pictures that our pets were getting lots of attention, love, and honestly being completely spoiled. She also gave one of our cats his medication and carefully followed the special instructions we left for our dog who gets very anxious during thunderstorms. Knowing she was willing and able to handle those extra care needs meant a lot to us. She also had to coordinate transferring their care to another sitter partway through our trip, and she handled the transition so thoughtfully. She cleaned up and changed the bedding for the next sitter and made the handoff feel seamless. With 8 pets, there are a LOT of routines and little details to keep track of, and she handled everything with so much care. We have 8 happy, well-loved pets, which is really all we could ask for. She is kind, dependable, communicative, attentive, and clearly genuinely cares about the animals she is looking after. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their pets, and we would happily book with her again!”

Ace was wonderful! He checked in with me regularly and clearly was a kind and caring sitter. He was also very careful about following all instructions and requests perfectly. He also did some serious troubleshooting when a couple of unexpected problems came up. I would highly recommend.
This was my first time using Rover and getting a cat sitter so I was a bit apprehensive, but I felt very comfortable with Ace during our meet and greet. He asked the most thoughtful detailed questions about our cat which really sealed the deal for me. He was patient with Samara and followed all instructions. Im so glad I chose him to watch over her and would not hesitate to book him again for our next trip. He sent lots of pictures which I appreciated.
Maya took great care of our senior dog and lively teenage pup for a weekend! They can be a handful together and she did great with them. We also gave her detailed information on how to care for them, and she followed them really well and kept our babies both safe and loved. We are very thankful for her help.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Woodbridge is $51 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $35 and $92 per night. 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 October 2026, there are 1,902 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.
<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 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 , 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.
