“Ridge was great with communication from the beginning. He took great care of our dog and was very attentive to anything that was needed. I would definitely love to have him stay with our Beau in the future.”
“Gwen is the best! Our dogs love her. They are so joyful when she is with them. Gwen has dog sat for us twice and both times we were able to relax and enjoy our vacation knowing that our fur-babies were in good hands. We highly recommend Gwen. ❤️”
“Brandt is incredible! We are so grateful to have found him. We had zero guilt for leaving our dogs because he spoiled them like crazy! I’m not even sure they were sad we were gone! I highly recommend him & can’t wait to work with him again!”
“Nicole is just the BEST. Ace and Georgia are loved on and played with and cared for. It is so nice to be able to go away knowing your babies are getting as great care as if you were there doing it yourself.”
About: I provide loving, reliable pet care so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Whether it’s daily drop-ins, overnight stays, or walks, I treat every pet like my own—making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their routine. I’m attentive to each pet’s unique needs, from playtime and cuddles to feeding schedules and medications if needed. You can count on regular updates, photos, and lots of love while you’re gone! I am currently a hairstylist and have a very flexible schedule. I often have brakes in between clients so I can check on your pets frequently. At home, my pets are treated like family. I keep them on a consistent routine with regular feeding, fresh water, daily exercise, and plenty of playtime and affection. I pay close attention to their behavior and needs to make sure they’re happy, healthy, and comfortable. Clean spaces, lots of love, and a calm, safe environment are always my priority.
About: I love all animals (except maybe tarantulas) and know how important it is to have a responsible person to care for your pets while you are away. As a former vet tech, I can identify issues early, know when they can be treated at home vs requiring a vet visit, and I can also administer medications and fluids. While I cannot board animals in my own home due to having two dogs of my own, I can't wait to cuddle with your pets while you're away and ensure they are well taken care of! I have worked remotely for the past 12 years. I am in between jobs at the moment but still only searching for remote roles, so my schedule is very flexible. I know it can be hard to trust a stranger in your own home so I thank you in advance for giving me an opportunity to prove that I am trustworthy, responsible, honest, and genuine. I promise will treat your home and your animals better than my own!
“Could not have asked for a better person to watch Copper. She was very kind, active with walks and play, sent updates every day with pictures. Full recommend for anyone needing help with dog sitting.”
“Our two small dogs loved spending time with Sarah! She did a great job adapting their schedule and left our home looking like she had never been there. We will definitely be using Sarah again, for both daytime as well as time when we are out of town.”
“Shannon was absolutely amazing with my baby over the past few days. She was super communicative the entire time I was away, and FaceTimed me many times so that I could check in to see what my pup was up to! I don’t think he even realized I was away because he was having so much fun with Shannon the entire time. I will definitely request Shannon the time I have to leave town for any length of time. I cannot thank her enough!”
“Our dogs had a great time with Morgan while we were out of town for a wedding. She was very responsive and I could tell the pups were very well taken care of. We would definitely have her stay with our dogs again.”
“Mary is always great! She stayed in my home and took care of my two babies while I was away, and I just appreciate that I have someone I can trust in my home and with my girlies”
About: I’ve cared for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities—from playful puppies to gentle seniors. I specialize in giving animals individualized attention, keeping routines consistent, and making sure they feel loved and safe. Whether it’s walks, feedings, medications, or snuggles, I care for each pet as if they were my own. I’m also experienced with shy or anxious pets and work hard to make them feel at ease. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life. I schedule my day around the needs of the pets in my care—whether that means morning walks, midday drop-ins, or overnight stays. I’m flexible and committed to maintaining consistent routines, which helps pets feel secure. I prioritize communication with pet owners and make sure each visit is on time and tailored to the pet’s schedule. When caring for pets in my home, I create a calm, clean, and secure environment free of hazards, with close supervision and plenty of enrichment. In a client’s home, I follow their instructions closely to keep pets comfortable in their familiar space. I respect the home and the pet’s routine, keep doors and gates secure, and provide regular updates so pet parents feel confident and informed. Safety and trust are at the core of how I care for every animal.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Woodbridge
Ridge stayed in our home and watched our two dogs and cat. We have a senior dog that requires medications as well as a special needs puppy (deaf and partially sighted). Ridge did a wonderful job following all of our requests and exceeding expectations! Ridge sent photos of our animals throughout his stay so we knew all was well. I really appreciate Ridge’s communication. He responds quickly to texts and asks clarifying questions which help me know he is truly concerned with the wellbeing of our pets and home. When we returned from our trip, the house was just how we left it and our animals were happy and so well cared for. We feel so lucky to have found, Ridge!
We reached out to Dylan on short notice for a weekend, and she was absolutely fantastic! She took great care of our fur baby, sending regular updates and adorable photos that gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Our pup looked happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. Dylan was professional, reliable, and genuinely kind. We’ll definitely be booking with her again if ever in a pinch—highly recommend!
This is our second time having Sarah stay at our home with Beau. She takes great care of him and I feel good knowing he’s with her. He got great exercise that he needs and was happy and well-cared for when we got home. We Will be using her whenever we go out of town.
Tanée was amazing! I’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for a more than reasonably priced house/pup sitter. Not only did she look after my fur baby with the love and care she’d give her own animals, she also looked after my home and even did some cleaning! I’m so impressed with her work ethic and the amount of effort and energy she put into keeping me updated on my puppy’s wellbeing. She really was such a blessing to find! I’m definitely booking again with her. She clearly loves doing what she does. Thank you Tanée!!

FAQs for House Sitting - Woodbridge
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Woodbridge on Rover is $30 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 305 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:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
