Mason was wonderful! He came over for a pre-meet and was very polite and was happy to do what we asked. BUT he went above and beyond walking the dogs, playing bubbles. Great communicator. Sent pics and videos. Had a small emergency and he handled it beautifully! So happy we found him!!!!

Diane is the BEST! She loved on our fur babies in our home for a week while we were on our anniversary cruise. We had never been away on vacation together, so I was a,little nervous doing so. She stayed in our home, provided daily pup updates, lots of pictures, and eased this hooman mommas heart. She truly cares, loves and enjoys caring for your 4 legged fur kids. Hands down would highly recommend her for ALL your pet sitting needs. And my fur kids Zeus and Penelope loved her too! Which speaks volumes to me!

About: I’ve had a variety of pets throughout my life that i’ve taken care of. I also have dogsat for neighbors and family! I love animals and I have so much fun hanging out with them, i love all animals! I know how hard it is to have to have someone else care for your pet, it can be scary! I assure you i can devote all my time and attention into providing the best care to your pet. I am excited to meet you and your dog! I mainly do petcare and childcare! My schedule is very flexible! I currently only have a part time job. I am almost always home, and am happy to except any bookings as long as there’s a one day notice! I make sure all pets are fed, watered, let outside, taking medication if they need it, and most importantly, i make sure they’re cuddled! (:

About: I am a work from home RN which allows me to be present with your babies and give them all the snuggles, treats, walks and play time they could want. My husband and I both have had dogs all of our lives and feel completely comfortable around all types of breeds. We have two dogs of our own and they are so incredibly loved and cared for. We will give you the peace of mind while you are away that your babies are cared for as you would. Since I am home all day, there's very little time your pup will be left alone. I can provide frequent potty breaks, play time and walks. ​We live on a peaceful 1.3-acre property and are one of only three houses on a long, quiet dead-end street with virtually no traffic. We have a massive backyard surrounded by nature with endless room for pups to run and play! ​A quick note on safety: While our large yard is unfenced, your dog's safety is our absolute top priority. If your pup is a wanderer or loves to roam, we are fully prepared to take extra measures—such as using long training lines, continuous supervision, or structured outdoor play—to ensure they get plenty of freedom and exercise without compromising their safety. ​As the proud owner of two dogs myself, I completely understand the anxiety of leaving your furry family members. I treat every guest like my own and promise to keep your babies safe, happy, and loved in your absence!

Stephanie was absolutely incredible. She was very communicative, she made sure to update us with pictures and videos daily (for 2 weeks!) and Albus was so sad to leave her. She made sure things were as close to home with her as possible. She welcomed my detailed, type-A notes and schedule. She went out of her way to coordinate a drop off to get him back home. I feel so good knowing that we found someone kind and reliable for our pet. I would highly recommend her and I plan to use her again in future.

About: I’ve taken care of pets my whole life! I have gotten into pet sitting more this last year and people have trusted me to stay with their animals for a week or more at a time! I love helping others who needs someone to care for their pet while they are busy. I have very open availability throughout all days of the week so I am able to visit and care for animals as frequent or as long as you would like! In my clients home I always care for their pet using the instructions they give me. I can walk them as often as you’d like and feed them on a certain schedule if needed. My biggest concern is making sure my clients feel comfortable about leaving me with their pets.

Lark is an amazing pet sitter that took great care of our dog and two cats while we were out of town for over a week. From the first time I met her I knew she'd take good care of them and of our home, and I was not wrong. She sent regular updates and pictures, letting us know how our babies were doing throughout the day. I could tell she was taking the time to learn each one their personalities including their likes and dislikes. Even though we were far away overseas, we felt comfortable knowing our three guys were being looked after by such a caring and attentive person. We loved that we were able to keep all three of them at home while we were out of town. I will absolutely hire Lark again and will wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone.

Em did an amazing job taking care of my Frenchie and kitty over the holidays. She looked after them for over 10 days in my home and sent consistent photos and status updates. When I returned home, my house was exactly how I left it, and she went above and beyond by washing the towels and bed linens she used. Most importantly my fur babies were happy and healthy and didn’t seem to miss me much 🥲

Our cat Luna was a pandemic kitty and thus, has some separation anxiety, but Yasmina was super patient with him and got him to come out of his shell! It was our first time having someone house-sit but Yasmina sent pictures and video updates of Luna that eased our worries, and she left our place as clean as she found it! She was also super flexible and we really appreciated that!

Mallory always shows up and is great at communication while we are out of town. One of our pups is not great at meeting new people but Mallory knew exactly how to meet her and now they are best friends. I was nervous to use a sitter who wasn’t family, but Mallory has taken great care of our dogs and cat and I’m never worried when we are away.

FAQs for House Sitting - Woodcrest

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Woodcrest on Rover is $53.28 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 1,554 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Woodcrest. On Rover:

  • 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% can help with daily exercise

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.
