“I would give Deborah 10 stars if I could! From our initial meet & greet, I knew she would treat both our senior pup and our home with love and care. I loved the daily updates and pictures that were sent, along with any additional communication about our pup or home that needed clarification. Our home was left spotless and just the way it was when we left. Our pup was cared for with love. I couldn't be happier with Deborah's stay here and I will look forward to having her over again for our future travels.”
“I am so thankful Michelle was available to watch my fur babies! She is incredible! The communication was outstanding and she took such good care of my house and my dogs. I will definitely book with her in the future.”
About: Hello, I’ve been taking care of my dog as well as my family’s and friend’s pets since I was 5, and I love all kinds of animals. I have just recently gotten out of the military and I will be having a lot of free time soon so I figured it would be the best time to take care of pets since they require a lot of attention. I will make sure your pet is properly walked and fed and played with for proper exercise daily, as well as applying any medicine needed.
“Shaun did an amazing job! He followed all of our directions, kept us updated, and took great care of Lex while we were away. Lex was very happy, comfortable, and clearly well cared for when we got home. We really appreciated the attention and care he gave our dog and home. We would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!”
About: I have been around and taken care of cats since my mom and I rescued 3 kittens from side of the road. When we picked them up and took them to the vet they were only 2 weeks old. We had to quickly learn how to take care of them to make sure they survived. From nursing them to stimulating them so that then could go to the bathroom , to waking up every hour to make sure they were okay and warm. They are now 6 years old! Those are now my mom's babies, I ended up getting my own 2 babies 2 years later from a shelter. One of my boys has Cerebellar Hypoplasia (it's mild) which means he's a little wobbly and off balance. With his condition it has made me much more patient, caring and understanding to any animals with any disabilities or impairments I work full-time during the week, but I have flexibility in my schedule and plenty of time to give your cats the attention and care they deserve. I’m available for evening visits during the week and have more flexibility on weekends. I’ll always make sure we discuss your pets routine and needs beforehand so I can provide consistent, reliable care while you’re away. I provide care exclusively in my client’s home, where pets are often most comfortable in their familiar environment. I carefully follow all feeding, medication, litter box, and care instructions provided by the owner. I’m very respectful of each petsp personality and boundaries and never force interaction. I make sure doors and windows are secure, litter areas are kept clean, fresh food and water are available, and I’ll provide plenty of attention, playtime, or quiet companionship depending on what your pet prefers. I’ll also keep you updated so you can feel comfortable knowing your baby is safe and well cared for while you’re away.
“Audrey did a wonderful job caring for my two pups, Ferrari and Aston! She exceeded my expectations, and I genuinely appreciated the care, attention, and thoughtfulness she showed throughout their stay. One of the things I appreciated most was her excellent communication. She kept me informed of any issues that came up and consistently shared pictures and videos so I could see how my babies were doing. Knowing that she was keeping a close eye on them and communicating with me gave me tremendous peace of mind while I was away. What really impressed me was Audrey’s willingness to go the extra mile. When Ferrari didn’t poop during his initial potty break, she took him out again to give him another opportunity rather than simply leaving it at that. That extra effort showed that she was attentive to his needs and genuinely wanted to make sure he was taken care of. She also graciously stayed additional time to accommodate my late arrival. She was completely understanding and didn’t make me feel bad about needing the extra time. Her flexibility and willingness to help were greatly appreciated! These thoughtful gestures speak volumes about Audrey’s character and the kind of care she provides. She didn’t just show up to fulfill her responsibilities; she paid attention to the little things that matter when someone is caring for your fur babies. Her communication, patience, flexibility, and willingness to go above and beyond made a real difference. If you’re looking for a pet sitter who is attentive, dependable, communicative, and willing to go the extra mile, I highly recommend Audrey! It’s such a relief to find someone who understands that our pets are family and treats their care with that level of importance. Thank you, Audrey, for taking such great care of Ferrari and Aston! ❤️🐶🐶 I truly appreciate everything you did, including the extra potty trip for Ferrari and your flexibility with my arrival time. Those things did not go unnoticed! I would absolutely recommend you to other pet parents and would be happy to have you care for my pups again. You were a blessing to us! 🐾💕”
“she was so good with her. she sent me so many photos and even kept me informed on her movements if she was leaving her alone. I have always hated leaving because Ali is very particular. this was my first time having her stay at home with a sitter and it was the best decision i have made. i have 2’more trips coming up and I will definitely be using her for the next trips.”
“Shannon did amazing with my pup Mia! She sent tons of pictures so I didn’t have to miss her too much, and gave her lots of exercise since she’s a high energy doggo! Super pleased, I’ll definitely book her again.”

I work as a dental assistant from monday-thursday would love to pet care Fridays and Saturday, i do have class on fridays mornings, so friday afternoon and Saturday! I would take really good care of any pets in the clients home, would provide them anything they need, and they would be well taken care of!
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.
“Ray was wonderful with our dog and took great care of both her and our home. Communication throughout the stay was excellent — we received thoughtful updates, honest notes about how things were going, and clear follow-ups at the end. Our dog can be a little hesitant in bad weather and new situations, and Ray was patient, attentive, and proactive in giving her plenty of opportunities, encouragement, and affection. It was clear she was comfortable, well-exercised, and genuinely cared for. Ray also went above and beyond making sure everything was clean and handled before leaving. We came home to a happy pup and a well-kept house, which is exactly what you hope for. We’d absolutely trust Ray again and would happily recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter.”
“Chinara did wonderful job pet sitting for us in our home. She updated us and sent pictures daily. She even watered our plants and did a few extra jobs around the house. We came home to a clean house and a happy dog! I would highly recommend Chinara.”
About: I have over four years of experience caring for dogs of different breeds, and sizes. My goal is to ensure each animal I work with is fed, happy and healthy. Currently, I am a ride-share driver, which gives me a lot of flexibility over my schedule. I am capable of organizing my work around pet-sitting jobs during the week, on weekends and holidays. I take my dog on two long walks each day to keep her active. My backyard also has a gate, and enough room for her to play in. She maintains a consistent eating schedule, and sees the veterinarian regularly.
“I highly recommend her!!! She came for the meet-and-greet on time and ready to take notes, which I absolutely loved from the start. When it came time for the actual sitting, she was punctual, followed my very detailed instructions, and communicated consistently throughout the entire visit. My guy is a big routine dog, and he’ll definitely let you know when it’s time for his meds, meals, and potty breaks. She had no issues administering his medication and made sure he received everything at the correct times. She also provided photos and regular updates, which I really appreciated. As an anxious dog owner, trusting someone new with your pet can be nerve-racking. But she immediately put me at ease, and I knew he would be in good hands. She treated him with the same care and attention I would want for my own dog. I would absolutely book her again and again, as long as her schedule allows! If you’re hesitant about booking her, don’t be. I think you’ll understand exactly what I mean once you work with her. ❤️”
“Erica was fantastic with our two miniature wires hair dachshunds. She stayed at the home and kept our dogs company while we were away over the Thanksgiving week. She kept us updated through the week and took them for walks. We highly recommend her.”
About: I’ve had the pleasure of raising my dog from a puppy to now an almost senior dog! He’s been through some challenging health issues, and through it all, I’ve been his caregiver and more. He’s inspired me to return to school to study veterinary medicine and pursue oncology. I’m working towards paying for veterinary assistant program while in school and would love to get more experience in the process! I’m currently taking some courses and have more availability after 11 am on weekdays. I am also available mornings and evenings on weekends! I would say I’m pretty flexible :) I always try my best to keep my dog active, inside and outside of the house. This usually involves going on walks and or doing activities of enrichment at home
About: I’ve been caring for animals since middle school, and over the past 6 years neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, and play with their pets. I’m patient with shy or anxious dogs, high-energy pups, and senior dogs/dogs on medication. I send photo and video updates and follow each dog’s routine closely, so you can relax knowing they’re treated like family. As a commuter student at GMU, my schedule is structured and predictable, and I have flexible blocks between classes and on day at home and weekends. I plan my day around the dogs in my care, so they get regular walks, meals, and attention, and I can respond to messages quickly and accommodate last-minute requests. Your dog’s safety comes first. I will follow your instructions on feeding, medication, and routine, keep dogs leashed on walks, and never leave them unsupervised in unsafe areas. I’m happy to do a meet-and-greet beforehand and send updates throughout my time with your pooch ;)

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Woodbridge
Hannah managed to coax our three shy cats out of their hiding places and eventually even got kisses from the boy cat. She kept us informed of her progress along the way to feline acceptance with emails, photos and new toys from them. As a house sitter, Hannah dealt with Verizon FiOS when our wifi went down by troubleshooting and meeting with the technician who was able to fix the problem. And she left the house cleaner than we left it! We (both humans and felines) look forward to calling on Hannah for our next vacation.
Andrea was amazing with my two German shepherds and cat! She took my younger pup on long walks with her dog every day and they had a great time hanging out. She handled their care expertly and I am so grateful! My cat has asthma and she also did a great job administering her medication as needed. Andrea is kind, professional, and trustworthy and I will absolutely book with her again!! Thanks again, Andrea!
We had a really great experience with Gwendolyn. She took great care of our two dachshunds who are both nervous and can be a lot to manage. She was quick to respond and very respectful of our home. Would recommend her to anyone looking for reliable and caring pet sitting needs.
Excellent dog and house sitter. Pets were calm and well cared for while we were away. Erin communicated with us several times a day and kept us updated on their daily activities. She has a great deal of experience working with pets and catered to their individual needs.
Eyowyn was great! She sent multiple photo updates and took great care of Dixie. She was responsive and made sure to take the time to do a meet in greet giving me piece of mind and letting Dixie get comfortable with her. The house was left clean and as if she hadn’t been here. She’s the best!
I had a great experience with Maya as a sitter for my puppy Nela. She showed up on time, was reliable, and communicated clearly throughout the day. She followed all feeding instructions exactly and went above and beyond by giving Nela plenty of playtime and sending me updates. Highly recommend!
Paige was amazing with our dogs! She sent us tons of pictures and was in communication with us the entire time she was with our pups. Paige could definitely tell how nervous I was to leave my pups with someone new and she helped ease my fears through this whole process. She was a respectful house guest and left our home neat and tidy. My pups love her and so do we. Will be booking all my future Rovers with her!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Woodbridge is $54 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $100 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.
As of November 2026, there are 9,288 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Woodbridge. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% 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.
