“Kirsten was fantastic with Maple while we were gone for the week. She sent lots of pictures and I could tell Maple was happy when we returned. Kirsten also was incredibly helpful housesitting with water plants and feeding the fish. She also helped us navigate the AC going out during a heatwave and made sure Maple didn't get too hot.”
“Kaiden was impressive from the moment we met him at our meet and greet. He answered all questions we had prior to the stay, but then had his own questions to ensure his comfort level with our home and animals. Durning his stay, he proved wonderful daily updates on our dogs, and wasn’t hesitant to ask any question he had arise during his stay. We came home to a very clean home and happy pets! We would definitely recommend Kaiden to anyone looking for a responsible and reliable home sitter.”
“Tim has watched Atlas for us a couple times (our dog) and done a wonderful job. Our dog perks his ears to Tim’s name knowing he will get a loving buddy while we are gone! Reliable and good communicator.”
“Christine did an excellent job caring for our two dogs and house. We were greatful she was willing to house/dog sit for us when we had a last minute family emergency pop up.”
“Thank you, Natasha! Once again, I was able to leave for a trip and have full confidence my pups and cat were well taken care of and loved on! I never have to worry with “Auntie Tasha” in charge. 💕🐶🐶😻”
“Abi took great care of Molly while we were on vacation. She sent us photo updates and left our space nice and clean. I will definitely be seeking out Abi’s help next time we are in need!”
“Michelle did a great job with my 4 animals. Took them and their care in stride. Shared the right amount of updates and made it feel good when I got home, everything was as tidy as I'd left.”
“Stevie is THE BEST! They went above and beyond taking care of our cats and home. One of our cats is disabled and Stevie took care of her perfectly. We were sent pictures and updates which were greatly appreciated. We came home to happy cats and a happy house. Trustworthy, hard-working, compassionate, and thoughtful. Would recommend again and again!”
“We are very grateful Celia was able to watch our pup in our home on short notice while we were out of town. Our pup looked so happy in the photos, and it was obvious she enjoyed her walks with Celia. We’d happily recommend her and book again in the future!”
“Gabe stayed at our house with our dog over the Christmas holiday and did a wonderful job taking care of her, including taking her on a lot of walks and giving her a lot of affection. He was very communicative throughout the process, including sharing helpful updates and photos during our trip. It can be hard to leave your dog in someone’s care and it made such a difference to know she was in good hands with Gabe. We would trust Gabe to stay with her again without hesitation!”
“Rachel was awesome! She was great at communicating and kept me well updated while I was away. My pup was happy and content in her care. She was super flexible with my last minute scheduling. She did an awesome job.”
“Liz was amazing, I knew Lottie was in great hands from the start. We hate being away from her, but were very comfortable being away for six days, even though this was our first time having Liz housesit for us. She definitely went above and beyond what was required, and left our house exactly as we did. She sent so many photos and provided great updates which we loved. We will definitely use her again.”
“Rory’s love for animals was obvious the moment he entered my home for his first meet and greet with me and Henry. Rory has a delightful personality. He is respectful annd kind, and has a fantastic sense of humor. He did a great job looking after Henry for a couple days while I was out of town. I look forward to hiring him again in the future, and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a responsible pet/housesitter.”
About: I am an energetic person and love to work with animals outside. I do enjoy walks with them, and I got to work on a dude ranch a few years ago! Animals were always around! I love to engage with pets and keep them engaged till they are ready to relax. I am a full-time archaeologist, but I have time when I'm not traveling for work in the afternoons. I am looking to take on some extra work and get to care for some pets! I can't have a cat or dog due to my travel, but I love to be around them. I love to play with cats and dogs whenever I care for them. I give them the time they need to get used to me, and play more when they want to be near me or give them as many pets as they request. I am huge on getting dogs outside and getting their energy out.
About: I’m a lifelong dog lover who provides dependable, loving care and treats every dog like family, with plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. Big or small I love them all. I was a school teacher and now retired. Once taking care of kids now taking care of dogs. Best job ever. I love them all. Better be dogs in heaven 😊🐶 I have a large fenced yard. Also have a in ground pool if your dog likes to swim. I have a 1 year old German shorthair pointer who loves all dogs and will definitely give yours a workout if needed. Dogs can be crated in the night or sleep in bed with Dolly and I 😊. Any accommodations can always be taken so your dog has a better vacation then you.
“We have a dog with a lot of anxiety and a cat that is apathetic about humans. But Kari won them both over!!! She is an incredibly caring person that obviously loves animals. She has my highest recommendation!”
About: I’ve had dogs since I was a little kid ! I have had experience with a big and small dogs. I regularly take care of my friends dogs. I have dogs of my own and understand how hard it is to get them outside while being busy. I am home from college right now and have extra time on my hands ! I will always put your dogs needs as my top priority! I will keep you updated during the walk as having someone else walking your dog can be stressful.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Woodbury is $50

Kari helped us out on super short notice after we had a death in the family and we could not be more grateful knowing she had some of her own stuff going on! She took great care of the dogs, left the house clean and had great communication/pictures throughout her stay.
Kirsten is a dog sitter extraordinaire! My little dog is aging and quite neurotic, he has a hard time when I leave him even for just a short period of time. Ordinarily it takes him a long time to calm down after I return home following an absence, however brief. When Kirsten has been here taking care of him while I’m gone, my dog’s anxiety is not nearly as severe. I’m not sure what kind of canine magical Mojo Kirsten has, but whatever it is is very effective. I highly recommend person for any of your pet sitting needs.
This is the second time Stephanie has stayed with my dogs and this was a much longer trip. Stephanie is so conscientious, sends updates, takes care of the house and leaves everything just as I left it. My dogs absolutely love her and were sad to see her go!! Will definitely be using her from now on!
Katy was awesome when watching my two dogs while I was out of town. She was extremely respectful of my home and left it nice and clean. She even brought in packages and the trash bins. My pups were spoiled with attention and she sent photos and updated me daily. It allowed me to enjoy my time away knowing my pups were in great hands! The pups keep going to the garage to see if the sound is her coming back…I think they miss her. :)
David did a great job staying at our house and taking care of our pets and animals for eight days. We have a very energetic dog, two cats, a bird and chickens, and David handled it all with ease. I'd definitely book him again. There was a snowstorm while we were gone, and it was so nice to know that David was at our house taking care of everything. He made vacationing away so much more relaxing. You can tell he loves animals, and I know that our dog had many walks and play times. With the snow and cold, the chickens caused some unexpected problems (frozen door, problems with their water) and David problem-solved it all.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Woodbury is $56 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $83 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 October 2026, there are 3,383 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 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.

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.
