“Amanda was absolutely amazing! She was very responsive when we had questions and always went above and beyond to make our Scarlet feel loved. We highly recommend her to anyone that wants their furbabies to be well taken care of and loved. We will definitely have Amanda take care of our furbaby again!”
“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!”
“Ace and Georgia LOVE Nicole! They get all excited when she comes to stay. The most wonderful thing, aside from the excellent care, is the numerous pictures she sends throughout the day. She is a great photographer, and we have saved several photos to our electronic photo frame.”
About: I have been dog sitting for about a year now and i have many dogs of my own which includes 7 dogs at my home Pet care is my full time job so it very much fits into my daily and weekly schedule because it’s something i’m always doing consistently. I take care of other peoples pet like how i take care of mine and how i would want other people to take care of my own
“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!”
“Christina did an excellent job. I was away overnight and she took care of my golden retriever. She was very attentive to her needs very responsible and she took good care of my home.”
“Ashley was great! I’m so thankful she was available on a relatively short notice and for the first time! Remy and Lucy looked like they had a great time from the photos and commentary Ashley provided! I’d surely book Ashley again to pet sit and recommend her to others!”
“A top-notch caregiver for my two kitties and I have worked with many sitters in the past 10 years. I chose Asha because she has experience with special needs pets. She was willing to house sit with my babies so that she could express the bladder of my special needs girl. She fed, watered, brushed, loved and expressed the bladder of my little one every 6 hours to keep her on schedule day and night. If you are hesitant about traveling because of your fur babies, call Asha. She is delightful, willing, clean, communicative and observant. She will care for your home and your pets as her own. There are not enough stars for me to recommend Asha highly enough! She is a personable, professional, and experienced lover of animals… I have already talked with her about future sits. She is the answer to my prayers and my babies love her!”
About: I’ve been working with families from the church I work at for the past 4 years now! I LOVE animals and can be very flexible. I work full-time but have flexible hours. I usually do overnight stays, but I’m comfortable doing whatever is comfortable for you! :) I’m unable to board pets at my home! I work full-time (I have two part time jobs) but both are pretty flexible! So I am perfectly able to take care of your animals :) I’m able to do whatever you need! If they need to be crated, if they have a special diet, etc. I’m fine with it all!
About: I’ve grown up and taken care of dogs of all sizes and ages. I currently have a 60lb dog and cat in my home with my parter. I have experience fostering and caring for my family members and friends pets as well. I’m currently working full time with a flexible schedule. I’m off most weekends and available to care for pets in my home with full attention. I have a dog park at my gated condo with a dog wash station and very gentle and willing to take time to build trust and care for your pets.
“Mairen was great. It was nice to know everything was taken care of while I was gone. All three of my furbabies (two dogs and one cat) were taken care of in a loving but professional manner. Plus, she went the extra step of double checking when I would be home and feeding/walking them one last time to make sure they were comfortable so I didn’t have to frantically rush home from the airport. Further, she made sure it looked like she was never here upon her departure. I don’t just recommend, I highly recommend and will be coming back to Mairen if I need someone in the future. Thank you, Mairen.”
About: Hi! My name is Crissy. I’m a local Sheriff’s Deputy and Nurse with some veterinary care experience, so caring for others—two-legged and four-legged—comes naturally to me. I don’t have any little ones of my own, which means I have plenty of love, attention, and some extra time to share with yours. I’d love the opportunity to care for your fur baby when you can’t be there, whether that means frequent potty breaks, playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply keeping them company. I understand how important it is to know that your pet is safe, happy, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. When your little one is with me, they’ll be treated as if they were my own basked in love, spoiled with attention, and cared for with patience and kindness. Whether you’re working a long shift, away for the day, or simply need an extra helping hand, I’d be honored to be someone you can trust with a member of your family. I look forward to meeting you and your little one(s) soon! 🐾 My schedule allows me to build pet care naturally into my routine, and I’m happy to make time for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and plenty of attention. I understand that pets thrive on consistency, so I do my best to follow their normal schedule as closely as possible. Whether you need care while you’re working, away for the day, or out of town, I’ll make sure your little one gets the time, love, and attention they deserve. Safety and trust are always my top priorities. In your home, I will respect both your pet’s routine and your space, following all feeding, medication, walking, and care instructions as closely as possible. I’m attentive to changes in behavior, appetite, energy, or anything that may indicate your pet is uncomfortable or needs extra attention. My background as a Sheriff’s Deputy, EMT-I, and my veterinary care experience have taught me to stay calm, observant, dependable, and prepared when something unexpected happens. I also take the security of your home seriously. Doors, gates, leashes, and any special safety instructions will always be double-checked. I’ll keep you updated so you can feel confident knowing your little one is safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. Whether your pet wants playtime, cuddles, a quiet companion, or simply someone to keep their normal routine intact, I’ll meet them where they are and care for them with patience, kindness, and plenty of love.
About: I've owned pet my whole life, from dogs, cats and chinchillas. I've worked with puppies up to special needs pets with anxiety, seizures, and other disabilities. I have spent years tending to my own fur babies while offering to pet sit my friends animals. I love the idea of helping provide love and care to other families while they are out of town. I can watch animals at the client's home. Whether the client wants their animal crated or roaming. My goal is to provide as much trust, love, and consistently to the pet as possible.
About: I’ve used a different walking app before and I love being around cats and dogs! I’ve recently got a cute cat and his name is Alfred and recently Nala and they are the best thing ever! So I’m very capable of taking care of another cat and a puppy if needed and I can even take them for a walk if needed as well! I’m currently working full time M-F second shift at my job so I am available most mornings and I’m available during the weekend if needed I do live in apartment complex, but it does have a cute little play area for dogs for them to play and use the restroom if needed
About: I’ve always loved spending time with animals of all sizes. I’ve been taking care of animals since I was 14, I have experience walking, feeding, and giving plenty of playtime to dogs with special needs, senior dogs, or energetic little pups. I’m comfortable administering medications, handling shy or anxious pets, and keeping your dog happy and safe while you’re away. Cuddles are guaranteed! I’m available for dog walks, drop-in visits, and playtime weekdays after 11 PM, once my classes are finished. On weekends, I normally work at Target, but I’m happy to adjust my schedule if needed — just let me know! With holidays coming up, I am more than happy to arrange my schedule to meet the needs of you and your animals. I’m flexible and committed to making sure your fuzzy friends get the attention and care they deserve, whenever you need it. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I maintain a calm, clean, and animal-friendly environment, whether at your home or during walks. I follow all instructions carefully, keep pets secure on walks, and monitor them closely for any signs of stress or discomfort. You can trust me to treat your pet like family, giving them love, attention, and responsible care at all times. I also provide updates and photos so you always know your pet is safe, happy, and comfortable.

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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Woodbridge is $30 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $25 and $54 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.

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 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.

- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 97% 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.
