“From the moment Chloe and I had a meet and greet with Samantha, I could just tell she is a genuinely kind person. She took great care of Chloe while my husband and I were out for the evening. She sent me pictures and I could tell Chloe really likes her. We look forward to the next time that Samantha can dog sit for us!!!”
“SirJahad was a fantastic housesitter for my 5 month old puppy and cat. He sent plenty of pictures and detailed messages over the three days we were away. He followed our instructions and took our rambunctious dog on several walks daily.”
About: Hi!! Animals have pretty much always been at the center of my world! I grew up in a pet-filled home with (not all at once!) six cats, two golden retrievers, a hound dog, a black lab, rabbits, hamsters, and cockatiels over the years, so caring for animals has never felt like a chore to me. It is genuinely one of my biggest joys. These days, I have my darling Moose, my sweet Vizsla mix rescue who would happily lay on top of me all day and night, and Penny, my bonkers torti cat who is a firecracker with a chronic upper respiratory condition. Between caring for my own pets, pet sitting for family and friends, watching my dog-niece, caring for pets while nannying for several families, and being a ........ member, I have experience and confidence with animals of all ages, sizes, personalities, and energy levels. It’s important to me that they feel comfortable and loved while their family is away! I am happy to handle walks, playtime, feeding, litter boxes, overnight sits, taking them on adventures, cuddle duty 🫡 , and keeping your pet’s regular routine as normal as possible. I also have hands-on experience administering pills, liquid medications, insulin injections, eye drops, and topical treatments, along with basic wound care, tick removal, and general health monitoring. I have had many animals that needed extra medical care, including my chunky girl Pudge, my rescued diabetic senior cat who needed insulin and close health monitoring. I carefully follow all instructions and will always stay calm and level-headed in any unexpected situation! Professionally, I work in middle-school special education and behavioral support. Patience, consistency, attentiveness, and remaining calm are HUGE parts of my everyday life, and those skills very much naturally translate into my caring for animals. I understand that every pet communicates differently, and I always take the time to learn their boundaries, routines, comfort level, and personality! I am genuinely the person who pulls over for a lost dog, takes in a stray, or gets overly excited when I see a doggy head out of a car window. In fact, I’ve done all of those things many times😂😂 Your pets will never feel like “just another booking” to me. My goal is for them to feel happy, comfortable and cared for, for your home to be taken care of respectfully, and for you to relax knowing your babies are in genuinely loving hands. ☺️🦮 My schedule works really well for pet care! During the school year, I work at a special needs school Monday through Friday from 8:00am–3:00pm, so I’m available for afternoon and evening walks, drop-ins, and day or overnight sits. I’m also available on weekends, school holidays, winter break, spring break, and throughout the summer when I’m completely off from school! I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine and will always be upfront about my availability before booking! I primarily care for pets in their own homes, where they can stay comfortable and relaxed in the environment and routine they already know! I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, boundaries, feeding schedule, walking habits, favorite toys, hiding spots, and all the funny little things that make them them! I’m happy to take dogs for walks around their neighborhood or, with your permission, bring them to a nearby park or trail for a little extra adventure. I carefully follow all instructions, keeping doors and gates secured and of course using the leash or equipment you provide, etc. I’ll treat your home respectfully, keep everything clean, and send plenty of photos and updates so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, happy, and getting lots of love!
“Deanna was great! Responsive and took great care of our house, puppy, and two cats while we truly got to enjoy our vacation. She went above and beyond with what we asked her to do and will absolutely use her again for our next trip!”
“Kiara did a wonderful job caring for my dog and cat last weekend, keeping them on a good feeding and walking schedule, hanging out with them, and providing medicine to my cat. She was responsive in a very timely manner, keeping me posted on how things were going throughout the weekend, with texts ad photos. My house was in perfect shape when I got home and my dog and cat were happy -- the best evidence that they had been well cared for and completely at ease with their sitter. Thanks, Kiara!!”
“Brittany was wonderful! Easy to communicate with getting everything set and scheduled, sent lots of pics and videos, our Simon was well cared for and happy when we got back from our trip. Will absolutely be using her again!”
“We felt at ease with leaving Zahira with our anxious boy. She got here early to meet him and to know about the house. She was professional and provided great care for Zorro. Extremely happy and Zorro loved her. Thank you so much.”
“Jillian and Stella's were a great match. Jillian sent me pictures of Stella every day and Stella looked content. My dog is a barker and Jillian handled it with kindness and understanding. I will definitely use Jillian again! She is a true dog lover! Thanks Jillian.”
“Stella had an extended stay with our pup and she was so wonderful at making sure our baby felt comfortable while we were gone. It was our first time being away so we were understandably anxious about how Philomena would do but Stella sent us loads of updates, photos and videos. Our pup had a wonderful staycation all thanks to her!!!”
“Katie was an excellent dog sitter! She was communicative, thoughtful, and made sure that my anxious pup maintained her routine - it really felt like a seamless continuation of her life. Looking forward to working with Katie again in the future!”
“Christina was so helpful watching our Poppy who was 1.5 wks post-op TPLO. She gave meds when needed and assisted her with all mobility needs. I would recommend her for any care for pets!”
“Quanece and Malik were wonderful pet sitters for our senior cat with medical needs! They texted us each morning to let us know that our cat took her meds and frequently sent us pictures of her. They arrived promptly and were very clean and respectful of our home. We will 100000% be using them for our next extended vacation!”
“Matt was wonderful with our dog, Odin! Odin loves long walks and Matt gave him the extra time he needs to walk and sniff…he sent pupdates and pictures. I will definitely be scheduling him again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Woodbury Heights
Nicole was very nice and easy to talk to when I met her. The dogs were very comfortable being around her upon introduction. They were content and happy when I returned from my trip. They didn’t seem stressed in the least, which tells me she took excellent care of them. The house was treated with care too. I will definitely ask her to stay with my dogs again.
Kristine did an amazing job watching our Chihuahua, Scout. We booked the house sitting as our dog tends to do better in his home environment, and we were provided with a ton of feedback and photo updates to let us know that he was being taken care of. He was shown lots of love and care during this stay. I’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter and I plan on rebooking again soon!
Tori was absolutely amazing. She took the time to schedule a meet and greet so she could fully understand Aspen’s routine, which immediately showed how much she genuinely cares. From the start, it was clear that she was focused on making Aspen’s stay as comfortable and meaningful as possible. She truly went above and beyond—sending plenty of pictures and updates that gave me complete peace of mind. I honestly wish I had found Tori sooner because she completely turned around my experience with Rover. To top it all off, she went the extra mile in a way I didn’t think was possible and even got Aspen an Easter present. That level of thoughtfulness is rare. Tori is a world-class sitter, and I can’t recommend her highly enough.
Brittany is awesome! She watched my 16 month old German shepherd overnight and I’m amazed how comfortable I was with her. I recently moved here from another state so trusting someone, I don’t know, into my home is new to me, but I seriously couldn’t be happier having found someone as caring and responsible as Britney! She’s a pleasure to work with, and I know my GSD, Kash, is in good hands. He loves that she likes playing fetch and she gives him lots of attention :)

FAQs for House Sitting - Woodbury Heights
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Woodbury Heights on Rover is $58.83 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 5,290 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Woodbury Heights. 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 Heights 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 Heights 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 Heights 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.

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.
