“Jaqueline did an amazing job watching our cat, Juniper! I was nervous to leave Juniper while we were on vacation but Jaqueline made me feel so calm and confident. I got adorable pictures everyday and an update. Jaqueline was wonderful to work with and took great care of our little Juniper!”
About: I've taken care of dogs since at a very young age for family and friends. I love dogs and have two of my own. I would take care of your pet as if they were my own. I work full-time so I'm available morning and early afternoon on days that I work. I'm off three days during the week and my schedule is more flexible those days. Sticking to their daily routines, providing communication with the clients on how their pets doing, and by building trust with their pets/owners. Respecting the household environment.
“We had confidence in Heather looking after our cats from the moment we met her at the meet and greet. She did an amazing job looking after the cats sending us updates and keeping us informed on how they were doing. We definitely will be using her again when we go away.”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the depth of experience and genuine love I bring to every pet I care for. I grew up caring for my family’s Labrador Retriever from puppyhood until his senior years at 13, giving me hands-on experience with everything from energetic puppy routines to the patience and attentiveness older dogs need. Now, I’ve transitioned into house sitting and dog walking to stay connected to that same joy and companionship. I treat every dog like my own—focused on their comfort, safety, and happiness. Pet care fits naturally into my schedule. I’m currently planning to go back to school, so I’m keeping my weekdays flexible for studying and personal commitments. That means weekends are the perfect time for me to spend quality time with pets. I love having dedicated, unrushed time to focus on walks, play, and companionship—so weekend pet care fits perfectly into my routine I focus on keeping their routine as familiar and comfortable as possible. I follow the feeding schedule you provide, make sure they get plenty of exercise and outdoor time, all while maintaining any training or house rules you’ve set. I give lots of attention, monitor their behavior, and send regular updates so you always know how they’re doing. I also have experience administering injections in the human medical field, so I am comfortable administering those trickier medications to your pets! My priority is making your pet feel safe, loved, and relaxed while you’re away—just as they would with you.
About: I have over 16 years of experience caring for animals and have lived with pets my whole life. I have experience sitting for cats and dogs. I have experience training puppies and caring for senior cats that require daily medication. I am an artist with a home studio. My schedule is flexible to fit pet care into my routine since I create my own schedule. My home is set up for cats with huge windows for bird watching and cozy beds. I also have sufficient space if needed to create separate spaces for cats.
“Aisaia comes often to check in on my dogs while I’m at work. He’s always reliable, on time, and spends a little extra time with my dogs. I would definitely recommend him and will continue to book with him!”
“Acadia is wonderful to work with and very caring & attentive towards our cat, and very helpful in feedback and correspondence while we were away. Highly recommend coordinating and booking the service!”
About: I love playing outside and going for walks. I’ve taken care of family and friends dogs for years and will spoil your doggie with attention. As a pet parent who has used Rover in the past, I know what works and what doesn’t (like 11pm drop ins) and I will take the best care of your pet. I work full time from home and so I have the availability to stop by throughout the weekdays to take care of your pet! I also have free weeknights and weekends. I live close to the Farmington canal and can take your dogs for walks as needed! I will always follow your comfort level and will care for your fur babies as you wish.
About: Lifetime owner of both dogs and cats! I offer experienced, loving care for all life stages, from energetic youngsters to gentle seniors. Your pets' happiness is my priority. While I maintain a professional job, I am fully committed to your pet's needs. I arrange my schedule to provide dedicated care during early mornings, evenings, and all day on weekends. I am highly flexible and always ensure your animals receive the consistent attention, exercise, and love they deserve throughout the entire week. I provide trustworthy, excellent, and a consistent quality of care tailored to each pet’s unique personality. I am an open-minded sitter who understands every animal is different, ensuring I meet their specific needs through clear communication and dedicated, high-quality attention at every visit.

“Michelle was prompt and reliable- and she seemed to get along great with our energetic 1 and a half year old golden. Thank you so much Michelle! We will be using Michelle’s services again!”
“Molly was great. One of our cats, Maggie, absolutely adored her. She is a very finicky cat & has not liked any of our other sitters at all! When we came home she went through Molly withdrawals 😁. That alone showed us Molly is perfect for us. Molly was very conscientious & professional. Knowing she’s a vet tech gave us extra piece of mind in case something happened. She connected with our cats perfectly. She contacted us daily with updates & pictures. She answered immediately if we had any questions or concerns. We will definitely rebook with her!”
About: I have been housesitting, dog and cat sitting for about 15 years now as a side gig. I have several references and usually rely on word of mouth referrals. I am free most weekends and holidays, with some flexibility during the week for drop in visits. I live in the New Haven area but am willing to travel for gigs. I am happy to house-sit but am unable to bring pets into my home. I am good with animals of all types and have extensive experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages.

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.
Carrie was a fantastic sitter for our two cats. She played with high-energy kitten every time she visited, and she made sure to pay careful attention and give love to our older cat as well. Both of our cats seemed very happy and content when we returned home!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Woodbridge is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $33 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 3,175 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Woodbridge. 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 Woodbridge. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% 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.
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.
