“Kaylynn was great with Ghost. She fed and walked him and cared for him like my dog was hers. Ghost ( my dog) has separation anxiety and Kaylynn is very kind and this helped a lot while I was away. I would definitely use Kaylynn again and would recommend her without hesitation.”
“Busara is the best! Maxwell has a great time and is always well cared for! I have no worries when I’m not there because I know Busara is always there to save the day and make sure Maxwell has great company”
“Christina was so helpful and accommodating. She even sent me pics of my dog while I was away, assuring me that my dog was doing well. I was very happy with her services. I would definitely hire her again!”
“Hannah was a wonderful person to have in my home for several days with my 3 pups. She gave them the TLC that I couldn’t while I traveled. I definitely would recommend her and look forward to having her care for my pets again. She is mature, responsible, honest dependable.”
About: Taken care of many of my neighbor’s, family’s, and other’s pets over the years. I’ve done overnight stays as well as drop ins and walks. I have pretty wide availability so just let me know what you need! I’m in a graduate program so I can do overnight stays & walks/drop ins. I’m pretty flexible so just let me know when you need me and we can likely make it work! I maintain a safe environment and closely follow instructions from the owner! I’ll always reach out if I’m unsure of something to make sure I can give your babies the best care!
“Krista did an amazing job! She was very friendly and our dog Molly did great with her. Krista was very attentive to Molly and was very respectful of our home. She kept us updated and sent pictures! We will definitely be having Krista watch our fur baby again! Thank you Krista ❤️”
“Samantha was awesome! First time leaving our dogs with a sitter so we were a little nervous. However, her daily updates and pictures reassured us that they were well taken care of. She definitely learned their personalities and adjusted as needed. The framed pictures left for us at the end was perfect! I would highly recommend Samantha to anyone!”
“Luie really came to the rescue when we had to cancel our dog's weekend stay at our friends' kennel due to our dog being under the weather. Luie was able to house sit and dog sit, and he doted on the dog so much, I don't think she even knew we were gone! When Luie cares for our dog, we have 100% peace of mind.”
“Our dogs and cat hit it off with Mercy at the meet and greet before the actual date Mercy started watching them. She paid attention to all specific requests about the dogs. She stayed at our house over the weekend with our pets and did a great job! We appreciated the picture and video updates she sent us and she was very good at communicating. We came home to happy, healthy pets and she left the house very tidy. We definitely would check with Mercy in the future if we need to leave our pets again!”
“Rachael was a huge help! She was super nice and took great care of Maxwell for me. He got tons to cuddle time and plenty of walks. Rachael was punctual and sent updates throughout the day. She was very respectful and I could tell Maxwell enjoyed his time with her. We will certainly be reaching out again in the future!”
“Erin was super flexible with meeting our pets ahead of time, was responsive, dependable and neat. Sent pics and txts. Very appreciative of the last minute fill in on a holiday weekend!”
About: I work professionally in dog daycare as a Team Lead, where I care for dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities. I’m experienced with group play, individual care, feeding routines, senior dogs, puppies, basic training and behavior management. I’m comfortable reading canine body language and adapting my care to each dog’s individual needs. I also have experience with large breeds and higher-energy dogs, and I treat every pet in my care like one of my own. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine through my work in dog daycare. Outside of work, I’m available for drop-ins, walks, and other pet care services depending on the day. I’m happy to work with your pet’s usual routine and provide consistent, attentive care while you’re away. I always prioritize safety, comfort, and each pet’s individual needs. I pay close attention to body language, behavior, and stress signals, and I’m comfortable following detailed feeding, walking, medication, and care instructions. I believe in keeping pets on a familiar routine and giving them the space, enrichment, exercise, and affection that works best for them.

“Vanessa was very responsive during her stay and updated me if anything happened! She was prompt and piggy was well taken care of! We had some hiccups with his stomach right before our trip but Vanessa was comfortable giving him his medication and monitoring him! Will definitely rebook with her in the future.”
About: Going away for the night, weekend, week or however long just contact me! I absolutely love dogs no matter the size! I have been watching friends dogs for a few years now and have really enjoyed it. I do have a full time job from 8-5 Monday thru Friday but would be with the dogs before and after work and they would get the full attention that they require when I am with them. My full time job does not require any overtime so I am always done on time. In the past I have stayed with a cat that had diabetes and had to have shots which was not a problem for me to handle. I do have a teenage daughter who would occasionally come with me if that is not a problem with the owners. I work full time but I have plenty of time in the evening to play with your dog(s), spend time with them if they would rather just cuddle or take them for a walk. I am patient and calm with pets that are withdrawn or missing their owners. I try to help them feel comfortable by playing with them or petting them white cuddling. When the pet is feeling comfortable I will send pictures to the client, letting them know that the pet is relaxed and comfortable with me in the house
About: I grew up with dogs and have always considered them part of the family. Until last year, I cared for my own dog, Tank, who passed away at 14. Caring for him through his senior years taught me the value of patience, close observation, and keeping a pet’s routine as comfortable and consistent as possible. Tank occasionally had seizures, which gave me firsthand experience remaining calm, reducing stimulation, helping keep a dog safe from injury, and closely monitoring them while following an owner’s or veterinarian’s instructions. I understand that every pet has their own needs, personality, routines, and comfort level. I’ve also dog sat for family members and truly enjoy making sure their pets receive dependable care, affection, exercise, and companionship while they are away. I’m detail-oriented and will follow your instructions closely. Feeding schedules, walking routines, medications, and house rules to favorite toys, training cues, and any special needs, your pet will feel safe, loved, and cared for in your absence. I work part-time as a caregiver for a person with a disability, a role that has strengthened my patience, reliability, and attention to individual routines and needs. Because my schedule is flexible, I can accommodate a wide range of pet-care routines, visit times, and scheduling needs. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, I focus on keeping their routine safe, comfortable, and as familiar as possible. At my home, I have a yard available for regular bathroom breaks and a small park nearby for daily walks, exercise, and fresh air. I do not have any pets living with me full-time. From time to time, I care for my mother’s friendly French Bulldog, Vinny, who enjoys being around other dogs. I will always communicate in advance if another dog may be present and will make sure introductions are handled slowly, safely, and according to your pet’s comfort level. In a client’s home, I will follow your instructions closely regarding feeding, walks, playtime, medications, house rules, and any special routines or needs. My goal is to provide dependable, detail-oriented care that helps your pet feel secure and well cared for while you are away.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Woodcrest
We had a wonderful experience with Hannah as our dog sitter. She was incredibly kind and understanding, she kept us updated with photos of our boy Sebastian, and was always quick to respond. Sebastian is a 70-pound senior dog, and she handled him confidently and with great care, which gave us real peace of mind during our time away. He was clearly happy, comfortable, and well cared for. We would absolutely recommend Hannah to anyone looking for a reliable, caring pet sitter!
Paige did a wonderful job taking care of my babies while I was away! She followed all my requests and sent frequent updates, and she went above and beyond to make sure the babies were taken care of! I will absolutely be rebooking page for my next trip out of town :)

FAQs for House Sitting - Woodcrest
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Woodcrest on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 363 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Woodcrest. 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 Woodcrest 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 Woodcrest 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 Woodcrest 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.
