“Chelsea takes such good care of my three dogs when sitting for them, and makes sure they are happy and cared for when I can’t be with them. Chelsea is great with communicating any issues with the dogs and making sure to follow all the instructions I provided.”
“She was a wonderful sitter for our little guy! He’s an anxious dog and after her care, he’s the calmest we’ve seen. She sent plenty of photos and gave us quick replies! ☺️”
“Aby was so amazing to our dog when we went out of town for a long weekend. He required daily medication after a last minute emergency vet visit, and she went above and beyond to keep him comfortable as well as keeping me informed. Aby took great care of the house and was so respectful. Everything was clean and tidy when we arrived back at home. She followed all instructions to a T, and sent photos and messages frequently! Will definitely be a repeat client of hers, and you should be too!”
About: Hi! I’m Macy, a local dog owner, dog lover, and community event organizer. I regularly host walking, social, and other events around the Summerville/Charleston area, so I love staying active, meeting new people, and being involved in the community. I have a dog of my own and have also cared for dogs for friends, family, and others plenty of times over the years. I understand how important it is to have someone you trust looking after your pup! I’m comfortable with different personalities, routines, and energy levels. Whether your dog loves walks and playtime or would rather relax and get lots of attention, I’m happy to follow their normal routine and make them feel at home. I’m dependable and communicative, and I’m always happy to send photos and updates while you’re away. I’ll treat your dog just like I’d want someone to treat my own! I’m available for overnight stays during the week as long as I’m able to head out early in the morning for work. I’m happy to provide evening care, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention before I leave! On weekends, I have open availability and much more flexibility for overnight stays, drop ins, walks, and extended care. I’m also happy to work with your dog’s normal routine whenever possible! I want your pet to feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away, so I do my best to stick to their normal routine. I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, medications, and any house rules they’re used to. I’m happy to spend time playing, going on walks, or simply keeping them company depending on their personality and energy level. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away!
“Victoria waa very good with Lucy. She waa able to give her meds and adhere to her feeding regimen. She sent pics of Lucy at different times even when walking her which she loves. She also washed our dishes up and kept things tidy. Will definitely call her again when we need a sitter.”
“Jen was wonderful! We have an overly energetic GSP puppy who is not the easiest to handle. Birdie took to Jen right away and usually takes much longer to warm up to strangers. Jen was very thorough and kept us posted. Highly recommend Jen for anyone’s fur baby.”
About: I have taken care of animals since i was a child! I personally had 4+ dogs/cats at a time growing up since I was 5 years old and even now! As a stay-at-home mom, I’m home the majority of the day and night, which allows me to give consistent attention and supervision. I only step out briefly for school drop-off/pick-up or short errands, typically no more than a few hours total. Your dog will not be left alone for long stretches and will be treated like part of our daily routine, with regular potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of interaction throughout the day. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. We live on 2 fully fenced acres, providing plenty of secure space to run and explore while always supervised. When indoors, pets are part of our family environment — relaxing, playing, or cuddling in a calm and clean home. I carefully follow each dog’s routine, feeding schedule, and any special instructions to ensure they feel safe and at ease. My goal is to create a structured but loving environment where your pup feels right at home.
“Leaving your pups for a vacation can be stressful. Alaina really helped ease that anxiety by sending us pictures daily and keeping us updated. Our dogs enjoyed their time with her and got lots of snuggles. Thanks again for all your help!”
“Shayna had great communication. She sent pictures of my baby as requested. She was very kind and respectful of the house. I could tell that my pup was comfortable in her care. Would definitely book again.”
“My dog has a lot of anxiety around new people but she was very comfortable very quickly with Julia who did a great job of taking care of my pup. She went out of her way to come early in order to meet the dog and get an idea of her routine and communicated really well with me. I would 100% book with Julia again.”
“She went above and beyond for my pets. She communicated well and followed all of my requests. I definitely felt good leaving them in her hands for a few days and will be sure to hire her again! :)”
“Tristan was just fantastic! He kept us updated with walks and adorable photos, and the house was spotless when we returned. He even went the extra mile by washing the sheets on the guest bed! Our dogs absolutely adored him! We can’t wait to have Tristan look after both of them again!”
About: I have years of pet care experience and absolutely love working with puppies. From playtime and potty breaks to gentle training support, I make sure your little one feels safe, loved, and entertained. I’m patient, attentive, and committed to giving every pup the comfort and care they need to grow happy and healthy. I work part time everyday, so Ill have ample amount pf time to check in with your fur babies three times a day. Love pets! I live in an apartment so I would not be able to care for them in the home. But if I can come to your houses and care for them they would be the best comfortable.
About: I have 3 cats of my own; Thumper, Cow, and Muffin. I have one dog named Oso, as well. One bearded dragon named Avery and two goldfish, Olivia and Elliot. I currently work a part time job until about 3pm, Monday through Thursday. Friday though Sunday I am available anytime to come visit your babies or stop in and care for. I can come play, feed, walk, or just visit and love your fur babies anytime after 3pm during the week and anytime on weekends! I will follow your directions carefully and exactly as you instruct me to care for your animal. I very much want them and you and myself to be comfortable and happy.
“I would highly recommend Jos! I was nervous to leave Zeke with someone new but she put my mind at ease as soon as I met her at our meet and greet. She was highly reliable and very attentive to my dog's needs. I will be using her for future needs and would recommend her to anyone!”
“Trinity was wonderful. Very attentive and spent lots of time caring for both our dogs while we were away. She was on time and professional for all feeding and potty breaks. Thank you for your care and service!”
About: I am very young and have been a competitive dancer since the age of 3 and i go to college now in Los Angeles for dance and walking dogs, hiking, being active is my favorite thing to do and id do all of those things with an animal before a person lol. I promise you are in the best hands when your animal is with me. I am home from school for break and have so much free time on my hands! I could walk or watch your dog for as long as you need and more! I will have them with me at all times and make sure they are never out of sight. I have their entire schedule on my phone so that nothing is forgotten and of course i give them all my love.
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Woodbridge
Brandy is the absolute best!! We have used her many times and will continue to do so! She takes such good care of our sweet dog and is so patient and kind. Our dog is quite a lot so I’m very grateful for her! She was able to accommodate overnight visits for us when we went out of town, which was an absolute lifesaver, I would book Brandy anytime!!!
Cassie was so wonderful with our dog Piper!! I was so grateful to have her with us this past week, I don’t know what I would have done without her. She took great care of Piper, walked her, played with her, cuddled up with her and gave her all the love. So grateful to have met Cassie!
We have a pup with some medical issues and requires medications/ some extra care and we are so happy that Jennifer was able to take care of our pups. She took such great care of them and kept us updated throughout the stay. We could tell our doggos love her and had a blast. We felt at ease with her watching them and definitely recommend her for any of your pet sitting needs!
Ava was absolutely wonderful with our dog! She was so sweet and we felt completely comfortable knowing our dog was in such good hands. She kept us updated, and even left our place cleaner than it was when we left! We came home to a very happy pup and would absolutely have her watch her again. ❤️
Mariah was a dream! Her attention to detail and excellent communication kept us assured that our dogs and ducks were in good hands while we were out of town. It was such a relief to find someone trustworthy and responsible to care for our animals and house and we will definitely be singing her praises and contacting her for future trips!
Julia was amazing! She went above and beyond for me and my fur babies, she was very understanding and accommodating for all of their little quirks! Both of my pups have separation anxiety and she was able to keep them distracted and happy. They’re top favorite things consist of playing and food, she not only was amazing playing with them (they can be quite rambunctious) but she even went as far as getting them both new toys and treats! No doubt will be rebooking any future trips with Julia!
I can’t say enough great things about Itziar. My pups loved her immediately and they never do that. She posted updates and sent me pictures every day. I feel like my pups were well taken care of while I was on vacation. I even came back a day early and nothing was amiss. Would highly recommend.
Marisa was great with my boys! I felt totally at ease with her watching them in my home. She was great at communication and sending pictures. I was looking for someone to spend most of thier time in the home with my babies and she was able to do just that. Even went so far as to let me know when she was leaving and when to expect her back. Marisa made being out of town for the holidays stress-free. I would recommend her services to anyone and plan to book with her again!
Dyana was wonderful! She took great care of our dogs while we were out of town. One of our dogs was sick so she administered medication when needed and kept a close eye on her for me. She was also great at communicating with us each day. I felt very comfortable leaving our dogs with her. I will definitely hire her again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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 , 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
