“My cat, Foster, is very needy and any little thing upsets him so I decided to schedule a house sitter rather than drop-in visits. Malika was great, sending pictures and making sure both Foster and I were okay. :-) I will be sure to reach out to her again when I travel!”
“I am so grateful we found Kristen! She was reliable, professional, and cared for our dog Bella like her own. She is so sweet and thoughtful. Kristen is a great communicator. I would definitely recommend her to anyone and would absolutely use her services again in the future.”
About: I have been a regular pet sitter for friends, family, and coworkers since I was a teenager. I have experience with large or small dogs, elderly dogs, cats, and pets that need medication or other accommodations. I have experience with dog-sitting for up to two weeks at a time. This has sometimes included, but is not limited to, administering medication, cleaning up messes inside and outside, walking, feeding, and bathing. Ensuring the safety, health, and happiness of each pet I take care of is my top priority and it is one of my favorite things to do in the world! I do not have the same schedule weekly, so I will constantly update my availability. I only know my availability up to 3 weeks in advance. Unless I have to work very early the next day, I am available for overnights at least 3 days a week (typically). I am unable to have pets at my house because I live with a family member’s dog that does not do well with other animals. Please give me any and all instructions! I will make sure to follow any routine that I can for your pet to be comfortable. I will provide as many updates/photos as requested.
“Olivia was wonderful with our pups while we were out of town. She was prompt with responding to any questions I had leading up the day of our departure, and was communicative while we were gone. She also sent me pictures of our dogs which was nice to see. She meshed really well with our dogs during a meet and greet so I had no doubt they’d warm up to her. She was also very generous in tidying up things like dishes, folding up any blankets used on the couch, and watered the plants for me. I am looking forward to booking her again!”
“Jasmine came out to meet my dog & cat prior to pet sitting and was very sweet to my silly dog. She communicated throughout our trip and carried in delivered packages. It was clear to me that my pets were happy with the pictures Jasmine sent. We will definitely book with her again!”
“Our fur babies love Brittney! She is great with them! Our dogs are a little extra sometimes but she has no problem dealing with them. She is our favorite go to sitter for our pups. 🐶 😊”
“Michelle did a great job. We really appreciated her assistance on such little notice for her. Diesel was very happy. Would strongly recommend Michelle to everyone. We will be using her again in the very near future!!!”
“Amara did a great job taking care of our pups! This sit was on 4th of July and our dogs get a little anxious when they hear fireworks. Amara kept them close and calmed them down. She checked in before she left to see if we needed her to do anything else, which was much appreciated.”
“Aimee house sat and watched our dog June for us and did a wonderful job! She was easy to communicate with and sent us regular updates. I would definitely recommend her to other dog parents and would ask her to sit again!”
“Tammy did a wonderful job taking care of my baby girl cat Seraphina. Seraphina loves her. This allows me to leave knowing kitty is well taken care of and enjoying her time with Tammy.”
“What a great dog sitter! Jenilee was so communicative and thoughtful, and our dog had an awesome time with her! I’m sure he can’t wait for their next adventure together!”
“Thank you for taking such good care of our furr babies!! Thank you for being so trust worthy and communicative. I knew they were in good hands and was able to relax while out of town. Also, thank you for taking care of the house. Will book again!”
“Airyana and Michelle were incredible. We were nervous leaving our girls at home while we went on vacation (rather than boarding them), but it worked out perfectly. Airyana bonded with our girls and did a great job giving one of them her medications 2x's a day (not an easy feat). Communication between us was solid - there was total transparency and zero concerns in this area. We felt comfortable with Airyana staying at our house over night and she did a great job keeping the house tidy, watering my outdoor plants, and getting our mail. We would 100% book again! Kudos to mom, Michelle, too, who helped and communicated with me if there were ever any questions or concerns.”
“Trinity was so great! Great communication and our pups were able to be cared for in our home, which we are always most comfortable with. Highly recommend and will use again!”
“Sammy was great! She came by to meet Leo prior to our vacation and asked all sorts of questions which really showed me she was paying attention to all of the details and that doing a good job was important to her. Sammy sent me a few messages while we were gone with updates about Leo and let me know when she arrived and left. I hope to use her services again this summer!”
“Tucker stayed with jedi all weekend, he took him on walks, kept me updated (with pictures) and gave him the attention he deserves. Jedi liked his company and I will happily rebook if he is available for my next trip.”
“Kort was the best! He made sure my Murphy (90 pound black lab) was very well taken care of. He’s really good with dog training as well so if you do have a misbehaving pup Kort will 100% know how to take care of them and make sure they are safe on walks. I was updated with videos and cute photos so I didn’t miss my pup too much. Murphy wasn’t even excited to see me when I came back from my 3 day trip because he didn’t want to see Kort go. 10/10”

On top of an awesome temperament, Michaela is also a great communicator. Our furry child is super anxious, very reactive and gives no indicators of when he’s getting fed up (until you find out that he’s fed up). In the past, he usually doesn’t open up to sitters; however, Michaela was able to get him to let her pet him (which never happens)! To complicate our booking, our poor little guy had his first ever seizure two days before the booking was to begin. It was very hard to leave him, especially since Michaela was new to us. She was confident in her capabilities to care for him still, and she managed his care like a champ.
Amara did a great job taking care of our pups! This sit was on 4th of July and our dogs get a little anxious when they hear fireworks. Amara kept them close and calmed them down. She checked in before she left to see if we needed her to do anything else, which was much appreciated.
Tracy was absolutely fantastic! She cared so well for our fur baby and kept us up to date with texts and frequent photos / videos. Our pup doesn’t do well with fireworks, so we were a little nervous to leave him over the Fourth. Tracy let us know how he was doing and able to administer his anxiety meds when necessary. Louie was so well cared for and we were kept updated with the best videos. We will definitely be using Tracy again!
Alissa was great! She was very punctual and communicative! She sent me so many photos of my babies which I love as an anxious mama! She did amazing with our 6 animals which isn’t always easy! She also did great with our dog Jasmine who takes some time warming up to new people! She worked with Jasmine until she was comfy and Jasmine ended up cuddling her later that night! Definitely will book with her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 1,462 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Woodbury. 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 Woodbury 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 Woodbury 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 Woodbury 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Woodbury. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
