“It was a pleasure to have Alyssa in our home. Her availability was exactly what we needed for our older dog and her communication with us was great! Our dog was well cared for and our home was clean when we arrived back home. Will definitely book her again for future trips!”
“My wife and I had never used Rover before, so we were nervous about leaving our babies with someone new. Thalia was so kind, patient, and understanding. She sent lots of pictures and updates which really helped ease our minds, and it seemed like our babies really enjoyed having her around.”
“I ended up having to cut my trip short. I had booked Makayla for four days to stay at my house and ended up coming home on the second day due to difficulties in my trip. I appreciated that she quickly modified my payment amount.”
“Lillie stayed at our house with our puppy while we were out of town. Lillie took great care and paid attention to all the notes I left (include sending me tons of pictures of our pup per my request). Even though our pup had a medical event arise during the week stay, Lillie handled the situation well. I would recommend and will use Lillie in the future again.”
About: I've grown up with various dogs my whole life. I currently own a husky and a corgi. I know how to use an E-collar and a prong collar. I love long walks from a mile to 4 miles or more. I'll even run with your dog if you like. Not a fan of dog parks? That's okay, I'm liery of them too. I'm patient and okay with cleaning up messes. I'm currently unemployed. I just got married and my husband and I would like to start a family. Walking pregnant will keep me in shape and keep busy as well as out of the house. My husband works from home. This is meant to be a stable side job. Not looking to make a profit just some side cash flow. Regular potty breaks and walks daily. Lots of cuddles and brushing if they let me. Games of fetch if that's their thing. Monitor their wrestling time so they don't get too carried away.
About: I am and aspiring vet med student and have experience working in 2 veterinaries and an animal shelter. I also worked with more exotic pets in a pet store and during my high school years at a zoo. I have had dogs and cats my whole life and currently I own a dog and 2 cats. I love all kinds of animals and would love to spend time with your sweet babies I do have a part time job currently, as well as being a student so it is very important that you schedule with me as soon as possible so that i can make time in my schedule for you and you pets! I am very gentle and cuddly and love to snuggle with all kinds of fur babies! I also have done tons of personal research and have written multiple papers on propper care for cats and dogs, as well as other various types of animals!
“Kevin did an excellent job watching Rocky and Annie! They seemed happy , not stressed on our arrival. He communicated well and sent updates. The pups gave him 4paws each.”
“1st time using Rover and glad we did. Jamie was reliable and a great communicator. She was able to quickly bond with our dog and provide the necessary exercise needed. Since we were traveling and in Charlevoix MI for our son's wedding, Jamie was able to quickly put us at ease by providing great care for our dog.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to check in with, feed and play with their pets . “I currently have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for pet care. I’m available for dog walks throughout the day and can provide overnight pet sitting when needed. I’m happy to work with your pet’s normal routine and give them plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship.” “I have one friendly dog of my own and understand how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets with someone you trust. I provide attentive, loving care and will follow your instructions closely, including feeding, walks, medications, routines, and house rules. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my priority.”
“MaKayla was very responsible and took initiative to ask questions when directions were not very clear. She took lots of pictures and included a video. It really helped to know she was taking good care of our fur babies.”

About: I have cared for a dog for most of my life, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet. I will treat your animal with the same love, patience, and attention that I gave my own. As a social worker, caring for others is a big part of who I am, and that naturally extends to animals too. I am dependable, gentle, and attentive, and I want pets to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I am comfortable with walks, feeding routines, playtime, giving lots of attention, and keeping owners updated while they are away. I work Tuesday through Thursday from 8-3:30. I also have 2 daughters, which is a full time job on its' own! With that being said, my availability would typically be M,F,S,Su 11am-3pm and after 8pm most days. I will care for pets in their own home, where they are already comfortable with their normal routine and environment. I will follow the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, fresh water, litter box or potty needs, walks, playtime, and any other specific care requests. I will also make sure doors are secure, pets are safe before I leave, and the home is treated with respect. I am happy to provide updates so owners know their pet is safe, cared for, and doing well while they are away.
About: I am a Physician Assistant who just graduated school and am looking for some extra cash while paying my student loans. I love being around animals and enjoy playing with cats or taking dogs on walks! I am super outgoing and enjoy keeping myself busy during my breaks. I’m currently applying for jobs in the Chicago area so my availability is currently very open, I update my schedule weekly based on my travels. I provide all my pets in my home with love and affection. I like to walk them on trails and feed them treats. I like to brush and wash dogs as well.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Woodbury is $43 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $43 and $55 per night.

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 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.
