“Lisa has been nothing but amazing! She has made being a first time puppy owner a thousand times easier. She provides a detailed update each day/visit that allows you to understand your dog’s needs more and to know how your dog is through out the day. Lisa is the best and recommend her to everyone!”
“Emily was amazing with my cat. My cat was comfortable with her from day one - which made me feel much more secure knowing that he was in good hands while I was away on my trip.”
About: I’ve mostly taken care of small creatures on my lifetime. I used to own parakeets and currently I own a leopard gecko whom I absolutely adore! I always wanted to own cats and/or dogs growing up but I’ve never been allowed to do that because my mom is irrationally afraid of both. I used to own a kitten but we had to give it away because my mom thought she could handle it but she was just too scared of it. I’ve taken care of other people’s cats and dogs before and I get along well with all animals! Since I’m unemployed, I am free anytime other than Saturday and Sunday mornings. Saturday I have classes from 10 am to 12 pm and Sundays I have church from 9 am to 11 am. I unfortunately do not CURRENTLY have anything that is specifically catered to dogs or cats in my house or yard, as I do not own either at the moment. I can certainly do my absolute best to cater to your animal’s needs, however!
About: I've provided loving pet care for 7 years and have experience with dogs, cats, and exotic pets. I have a fenced yard, air-purified home, and separate spaces to comfortably accommodate your pets. I'm experienced with medications (including oral and subcutaneous), basic obedience, enrichment, crate training, and caring for pets with special needs. I also have experience with reptiles, rabbits, rodents, birds, aquatic pets, and insects. Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I work from home, so my schedule is extremely flexible. Drop ins, house sitting, boarding and 15 minute walks can be scheduled at nearly any time. ● I provide daily updates and photos on your pet. ● 3+ references are provided upon request. ● Home details: Large fenced yard, Coway air purifiers throughout the house, neutered 36 lb English bulldog and neutered male tabby. Both of them are notoriously chill, and I am more than willing to do a meet and greet prior to boarding. ● I DO NOT smoke or use incense, oils, etc.
About: I have cared for family and friends’ pets who rely on me for loving, dependable support. I have provided feeding, walks, playtime, attention, and companionship while making sure each pet feels comfortable, safe, and well cared for. I have a flexible schedule with plenty of availability to provide your pets with attention, playtime, walks, and companionship throughout the day. I enjoy creating a safe and comfortable environment where pets feel happy and loved. I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment for every pet I care for. When visiting clients’ homes, I respect their space, follow their routines, and provide attentive care, love, and companionship, so pets feel secure while their owners are away.
“Lauren was an absolutely wonderful with our dogs. Prompt, responsible and always let us know how our dogs were doing. We have two big dogs and they were no problem for her. I will definitely have Lauren watch our dogs again and again and again!”
“Zoe is an absolute sweetheart and professional. I felt so assured and comforted knowing she was with my fur babies during an event. Will absolutely be asking her to watch them again!! Thank you for everything, Zoe :)”

About: Trusted Veteran • Farm-Raised Animal Lover • Dependable Dog Walker Growing up on a farm in North Dakota gave me hands-on experience caring for animals from an early age. As a dog owner and lifelong animal lover, I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and positive interactions. My military background strengthened my reliability, attention to detail, and commitment to following instructions, ensuring every pet receives safe, dependable care. Whether it's an energetic walk, playtime, or providing companionship, I treat every dog as if they were my own and prioritize their happiness, safety, and well-being. I recently retired from the Army, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability to care for your pets. I'm available on weekdays, evenings, and most weekends, allowing me to accommodate regular walks, drop-in visits, and last-minute requests whenever possible. When caring for pets in their home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow each owner's instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, fresh water, walks, medications (if needed), playtime, and potty breaks. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, affection, and exercise while respecting their individual personalities and comfort levels. I will provide regular updates with photos, and treat every home and pet with the same care and respect as my own.
“Another flawless visit. Sandra is always friendly and professional and even my skittish little monsters are warming up to her. I highly recommend her if you're looking for someone to drop in and keep an eye on your pets.”
“Brigette is awesome. She’s helped us out with our near senior, somewhat particular spaniel and way too energetic kitten a couple of times now. We come back and they’re tired (in a good way) and happy. We trust her in our home and with our critters. Will definitely use Brigette going forward.”
About: Hi! My name is Hatley; I’m a 25 year old high school history teacher in PWCS. I would love to walk/run/meander through anywhere around here with your dog, or even look after them at your home. I’ve been a trusted house sitter for dozens of pet owners in Northern Virginia for 3 years, and I'm confident that I am the best person for anyone to entrust their pup with. I volunteered and fostered for the Charlottesville-Albermarle SPCA throughout college with all breeds, temperaments, and ages of dogs. My family trained service dogs at my home in Northern Virginia for two years but have been an avid dog lover since my motor skills were coordinated enough to pet! I am very fit and have a fairy flexible schedule, so no matter what your dog needs, I have the time and capacity for it! My family’s dog Bodie was my best friend for 15.5 years until she crossed the Rainbow Bridge in August, and all I want to do is hang around with dogs (and make a few dollars doing it!) I am also proficient in Spanish and Russian. Si hablas principalmente español y necesitas que tu perro pase, por favor, ponte en contacto para que podamos hablar. Если вы говорите по-русски и хотите, чтобы ваша собака гуляла, пожалуйста, свяжитесь со мной, чтобы мы могли обсудить, что вам и вашей собаке нужно. As a teacher, I am up early, but that means home early! I will need to be in Woodbridge by 7AM and leave school right at 2:30PM. I am thoroughly attentive to the needs of any animal and special requests by clients. Having trained service dogs, I’m well equipped in safety training including how to handle reactive dogs, basic health and safety, and dog emergencies.
About: I’m a college student home for winter break looking to make some extra money over break. I have a love for animals and look forward to being able to take care of them over break. I’ve had and cared for my dog Maliyah (a Jack Russell) for 5 years and I have dog sat in the past for friends, family, and others. I also volunteer at pet smart back at my school in Radford Virginia. I clean out their cages, feed them, and play with them. I am responsible and and will provide your animals with the best care that I can while you are gone. I am trustworthy and will take care of your animals and your home to the best of my ability.
About: I’ve lived with dogs & cats (literally) my entire life! I’ve taken care of both young and senior pets and I have experience with administering medication orally and through injection as well! I’m a senior in high school, so I have school most weekdays from 9:00-2:10. I also work part time on occasion from 4-9:20 as well as every Sunday 11:30-4:00. I have a big schedule, but I can always find a way around it to take care of your pet 🥰❤️ I have a fenced yard and two german shepards and a domestic shorthair (who stays in my basement.) I have previous experience caring for pets in my home by keeping them in my room that can be locked from the outside (large dog care may be difficult but we can figure something out ☺️.) In your home, I will be sure to leave everything as it was. I will notify you of everything I do in your home. As an anxious person myself with multiple pets, your pets will be safe in my hands 😊
About: I've always been a natural caregiver. I've had pets since I was born, took care of my grandmother in her final years, and I take care of patients of all ages everyday as a healthcare worker. My goal is always to look out for the underdog (pun intended). I work at a dental clinic nearby with nights, weekends, and every other Friday off. My 15 minute commute allows me to pop home if I need to let our pup out. I have plenty of time before and after work for walks and snuggles too! I have a fenced in backyard, a super laid back 9 year old lab mix, and two chill cats who pretty much keep to themselves. We have plenty of extra space for crating if need be! And if for some reason your furry friend needs and entirely secluded area, we can provide that as well.
“Angela has been an absolutely wonderful cat sitter. She is reliable, always punctual, and clearly genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. During every visit, she kept us updated with thoughtful messages and great pictures, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. It was so reassuring to see our cat happy, comfortable, and well cared for in her hands. We truly appreciated her professionalism, communication, and attention to detail. We would highly recommend Angela to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.”
The median cost per visit for dog sitting in Woodbridge is $20

Hannah did so well with our dogs! We needed a sitter to drop-in on them short notice, and she was able to cover it. She left good notes and lots of pictures from the drop-in visits. The dogs were their normal, happy selves when we got back at the end of the day!
Taylor is a rare and lucky find! She has such a lighthearted, caring personality and isn’t intimidated by Bailey and Dakota’s enthusiastic nature. During our meet-and-greet, my girls were so excited to see her and wanted to be around her the entire time. I immediately knew she was the right person for them! Taylor is punctual, attentive, and an excellent communicator. She asks thoughtful questions about the girls’ routines, toys, and individual needs, and proactively discusses solutions when challenges arise (like getting my stubborn Bailey upstairs!). I especially appreciate her affectionate updates and her confidence in communicating questions or concerns. They give me tremendous peace of mind while I’m on campus. Most importantly, I trust Taylor with my girls, and I’m so grateful to have found her!
I HIGHLY recommend Sasha’s dog sitter Oya. I honestly could not have asked for a better person to care for my girl. From the moment I met her, I felt completely comfortable leaving Sasha in her care. She was loving, attentive, responsible, and treated Sasha as if she were her own. Knowing that Sasha was safe, happy, comfortable, and receiving so much love gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. She kept me updated, was dependable, and went above and beyond to make sure Sasha was well taken care of. If you are looking for someone you can TRUST with your fur baby, I absolutely recommend her! I would use her again without hesitation. Sasha was clearly happy and well cared for, and that says everything. Thank you for taking such amazing care of my baby! ❤️🐶🐾
Leila was AMAZING. I really appreciated how she was able to communicate with me so much as she checked in with Lola! This was my first time leaving her by herself so that check in with Leila was much needed. I am literally rebooking her right now! Leila thank you so much for making Lola feel special and really paying attention to her needs while you were there! Lola will see you soon 💖
Gabriela has built a great relationship with my two dogs. They totally enjoy her and are excited to see her every time. Gabriela is the only one I have been able to trust with my pets since I’ve moved them here. Her availability is always convenient and she always gives great updates during the day. We are so appreciative her services.
Daniella did great with checking in on our dogs! They seemed to enjoy their walks with her and didn't have any issues. She left good notes about her visits and was easy to communicate with. We needed additional care for the week and she was willing and able to continue helping out, which was greatly appreciated! I would highly recommend Daniella and rebook her.
Andrew is an absolute dream dog walker! He’s communicative, takes fantastic pics of our pups, and executed lots of complex instructions on short notice. He came to meet our pups before a week away and they love him. We are definitely going to request him again for future needs!
Christina is great. I had a last minute obligation after work and she came to my rescue by meeting my fur baby and myself the day before for a meet and greet. She took a lot of pictures and my fur baby looked happy. She came by and walked my fur baby for two days. She lost my fob and immediately sent me the money to cover the cost of a replacement fob. She felt really bad about it. Sometimes things happen in your life that are unexpected and you move on. I was not upset because she rectified it immediately. I will be asking Christina in the future for walks and stay overs. I am happy with her services. 😃

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Woodbridge is $19 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $25 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 14,294 sitters on Rover offering Dog 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.
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!
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.
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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Woodbridge with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Woodbridge. On Rover:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
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.
