“Emily made me feel better about leaving my critters for a few days. My skittish dog loves her. Emily maintained contact with me and sent Pictures and videos. I appreciate all she did and will definitely be using her services again in the future!”
“Hannah was wonderful with our poochie! She sent lots of photos, kept in touch often, and he seemed very content and relaxed! Will definitely book with Hannah again- she took the stress out of us being away from home!”
“Robert did a phenomenal job with copper. Very communicative each day. I can tell she was well cared for when we got home. Copper’s behavior when we arrive home from a trip can be a clear indicator of how she was cared for.”
“Victory took amazing care of our two fur babies! Plenty of happy pictures and updates for ease of mind were sent. She also sent us a message to let us know Lenny got a boo boo (she’s about as graceful as a newborn giraffe so no surprise at all) on her paw and was so kind and helpful! Fully recommend Victory and for sure will use her services again!”
“Daniel was absolutely amazing! Our dog can be a handful since he has severe anxiety and he was great with him! He sent us pictures and updates! I knew my fur baby was getting lots of love when we were away and that made my heart so happy! I 100% recommend him!”
“I cannot say enough how happy I was with Blakey! It was our first time leaving them with someone in our home and my 2 dogs didn’t even act like I had been gone when I came back! I’m pretty sure they were happy being spoiled by Blakey! Will definitely book her in the future!”
“Natasha was the best!! Great communication from the start and throughout the stay. Boone connected with her immediately and seemed to genuinely enjoy her company. We enjoyed keeping in contact and getting the pics of our fur baby as he relaxed with his new friend. We will absolutely book again and are glad to have found Natasha!”
“Diego gave me peace of mind tending to my dog while I was away! He’s really great and send some pictures to let me know everything was going great! He always checked in with me to let me know when he arrived and when he was taking the dog out for a walk. Will deff use him again! He’s a great guy and also was available to do a meet and great before hand 💜”
“Having Isabella at our house was such a huge relief. We were gone for a week and she sent lots of pictures of our dogs and stayed in contact with me the whole week. It provided such a peace of mind knowing our dogs and our home were well cared for so we could enjoy our family vacation! I will absolutely book her again in the future!”
“Catherine took great care me of our dog and communicated well and sent pictures during her five night stay. The house was in good shape and everything in order. I would definitely use her again.”
“Christine helped us out of a bind - the night before leaving our puppy for the first time on a 4 night trip we had to make other arrangements because of the sitter we had reserved not showing up. she came and stayed at our home and did a wonderful job with her ! We were already apprehensive about leaving her and to have that happen at the last minute it was such a blessing to find such a professional Dog Sitter. We highly recommend her. She left our home in great condition and was an excellent communicator which made us feel comfortable while on our trip. We highly recommend her.”
“My husband and I never used Rover and were very nervous about leaving our babies. Lauren put our minds at ease and took excellent care of our German Shepherds. She is an amazing person and we came home to happy dogs and she went above and beyond taking care of them and my home! I wish i could give more than five stars ❤️”
“Mylynn is great! She took such good care of our high maintenance pups. Very good communication and the dogs loved her. Would not hesitate to use her services again”
About: Hi! My name is Jennifer, and I’m a healthcare professional with a lifelong passion for animals. I’m a proud owner of four cats—Fireball, Pumpkin, Midnight, and Roo—as well as three goats, with another little one on the way! 🐱🐐 I have hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals, including household pets, farm animals, and exotic animals. I’m dependable, compassionate, and committed to providing every animal with the same love, attention, and care I give my own. I have plenty of references available upon request, so please feel free to ask! I’d love the opportunity to care for your furry, feathered, or farm family members. ❤️ I create my own work schedule, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the week and on weekends. I’m happy to provide dog walking, dog sitting, and cat sitting services to help care for your pets when you’re unavailable. If you’re looking for someone dependable, caring, and experienced to look after your pets, please feel free to reach out! I’d love to help. I provide personalized, attentive care based on each pet’s individual needs, routine, and personality. Whether caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, affection, fresh food and water, and a safe, comfortable environment. When caring for pets in their own home, I do my best to maintain their normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. I’m happy to follow specific feeding schedules, medication instructions, walking routines, and any other care instructions provided. My goal is to treat every pet as if they were my own and give owners peace of mind knowing their pets are safe, loved, and well cared for while they’re away.

FAQs for House Sitting - Woodbridge
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 1,776 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.

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.
