“Amber was wonderful! Our dog can get stressed out when we’re away, and Amber was very understanding and patient with her. Our dog also had some stomach issues while we were gone, and she handled it very well. She communicated the issue promptly and made some tweaks to the feeding schedule to help the dog adjust.”
“Andy was phenomenal both of my dogs love him. He’s very professional and knowledgeable. Would highly recommend him to anyone, we will definitely use his services again. Thanks Andy”
“Kaylee did a great job taking care of my cats. She was very sweet and tentative. My boy cat required medication twice a day and she was great at admin meds to my finicky cat. Great communication as well! Would absolutely use her again!”
About: Hi! I’m Chelsea, a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I currently have a year and a half old mix named Jake, so I’m very familiar with puppy energy, training, and making sure dogs get the physical and mental enrichment they need. I take pet care seriously and always aim to create a calm, safe, and structured environment where pets feel comfortable. I’m attentive to each dog’s individual needs—whether that means long walks, playtime, enrichment activities, or simply relaxing and keeping them company. My background working in behavioral health has also given me a lot of patience, awareness, and the ability to stay calm in different situations—skills that translate really well to working with animals. When your pet is with me, you can expect: • Lots of attention and supervision • Updates and photos while you’re away • Respect for your pet’s routine and training • A calm and caring environment I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I’ll treat your dog like family while you’re gone. My availability is currently open and I will keep my Rover calendar updated. I will always make sure to communicate clearly about availability before confirming bookings. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining the pet’s normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure in their familiar environment. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and any specific preferences your pet has. I also make sure pets receive plenty of attention, enrichment, and supervision while you’re away. I respect my clients’ homes and always keep things clean, provide regular updates and photos, and communicate promptly if anything comes up.
“Rachel was great with Dexter. Love the videos she sent me while I was out of town. Dexter clearly enjoyed seeing her! Thank you Rachel, it's good to know Dexter was in good hands while I was away.”
“Jill is AMAZING! She is kind, responsive, eager, and incredibly loving towards my babies! I will ALWAYS use her to watch after my pets and will feel incredibly confident that they will be treated with so much love and kindness. I swear, they look forward to me going out of town because they look forward to bring spoiled by Jill and her daughter!! Lol”
“Nicole was available on a days notice and despite being anxious about the drop ins because she and my dog had never met, she kept me informed during drop ins which helped ease my anxiety. Definitely plan to use her in the future.”
“Kyani was absolutely amazing with Trudy, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She communicated with me throughout the entire stay, keeping me updated and making me feel completely at ease. She sent plenty of photos and videos, which showed just how much love and attention Trudy was getting. It was clear that she genuinely cared about Trudy’s happiness and well-being, and she treated her like one of her own. Kyani was incredibly attentive to Trudy’s needs and made sure she was comfortable, exercised, and well cared for. Her kindness, patience, and sweet personality really stood out, and I could tell Trudy felt safe and loved in her care. I would trust Kyani with Trudy again without hesitation and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and exceptional pet sitter.”
“Keri and her daughter were very friendly and helpful with taking care of our cat for a week. The pictures were great to see and she was responsive in answering questions. We appreciated them and their service!”
About: I’m recently widowed and looking for a way to get outside and walk more consistently. I don’t like to walk alone so I figured walking with someone’s pet would be a good place to start! I have owned animals all my life; birds, cats, dogs, horses, etc. I currently have a blue heeler/border collie mix but he’ll stay home during my walks with your pup! I’m available during the week, during normal school hours. I have a daughter in school so I need to be home in the evenings to help with homework, etc. I have one friendly dog that loves to have animal friends come play. I also have crates that can house small to medium sized dogs.
About: I've spent over 40 years caring for animals, from small dogs like Mini Dachshunds and cats to large breeds, including German Shepherds, Rottweilers, Dobermans, Chows, Pitbulls. I currently share my home with a long-haired German Shepherd and a beautiful long-haired domestic cat who are my babies. My daughter is also there while in college & has 2 cats so animals have always been an important part of my life, and to me, they're family, not just pets. In addition to caring for my own animals, I've provided pet sitting for friends and family, including multiple-dog and cat households. One of my most meaningful experiences has been caring for my German Shepherd following a serious attack that left him with very significant injuries. Helping him through his recovery gave me firsthand experience with the patience, attentiveness, and compassion required when an animal needs extra support. I'm comfortable administering oral medications according to instructions, maintaining feeding and exercise schedules, and adapting to each pet's individual personality and needs. Whether your pet is a tiny Dachshund, a large German Shepherd, or a beloved cat, I'll treat them with the same love, respect, and attention I give my own animals. My goal is to make sure you can travel with peace of mind, knowing your pets are safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. I've always seemed to have a special connection with animals, even those who are normally hesitant around people. There's a little shop I frequent with a resident cat who apparently doesn't warm up to many visitors. One day, she surprised her owner by jumping right into my arms! Moments like that mean the world to me. I've always believed animals are some of the very best judges of character. I currently work an interesting schedule that allows me several consecutive days off. I have a rotating schedule. One week I work Sun-Tues 6am-6pm and the next I work Sun-Wed. The days I work are 12 hr days. But depending on how close you are to my job (Bridgeton area) I could potentially check in on them on my hour lunch and then go there after work at 6pm.. I live in Illinois but I dont plan alot of things this time of year so I have pretty good availability. Shoot me a msg, we can probably work it out. Even holidays. Talk to you soon! :) I believe pets are happiest and most comfortable in their own familiar environment, especially when their family is away. My goal is to maintain their normal routines as closely as possible while providing a safe, loving, and stress-free experience. Before accepting a booking, I like to learn about each pet's personality, daily schedule, feeding instructions, medical needs, and any special behaviors or concerns. I also believe meeting beforehand is important so both the pets and their owners can feel comfortable with me. Safety is always my priority. I'm attentive to securely closing doors and gates, using appropriate leashes during walks, and being mindful of potential hazards. Having cared for my own German Shepherd through a serious recovery, I understand how quickly unexpected situations can arise and how important it is to pay attention to changes in an animal's behavior or well-being. I respect my clients' homes and privacy and will treat their property with the same care I give my own. I also believe communication is essential, so I'm happy to provide regular updates and photos to give owners peace of mind while they're away. Most importantly, I understand that I'm being trusted with two things that mean a great deal to someone: their beloved pets and their home. I take that responsibility seriously.
“Niah was a great sitter! She was kind and enthusiastic at the our meet and greet. I knew my cats would be taken great care of and felt very comfortable leaving them in her care. Also had some last minute travel changes and was easy to contact and flexible which was appreciated. Would work again with Niah!”

With a diverse range of breeds and sizes under my care, including various other animals, I'm adept and comfortable in handling them all. My journey in professional animal care began at the tender age of 10. Throughout my life, I've been entrusted with the care of my neighbors' beloved pets, handling tasks from walks to feeding and bathing. Their trust in my abilities was a testament to my dedication and professionalism. From potty training to obedience and even teaching tricks, I'm well-versed in various aspects of pet training. Senior dogs hold a special place in my heart, and their unique needs are met with gentle care and affection. Cats, too, find a kindred spirit in me. If ever you require a trainer, count on me to rise to the occasion. In essence, when it comes to animal care, there's little I can't do. I'm eager to extend my expertise to you and your furry family members. Warm regards, Ramona I'm a dedicated full-time pet caregiver, which means I have the flexibility to accommodate your schedule.

About: I have always been a dog owner and welcome any dog into our home. There is no greater love than the companionship of a dog. I work full time but am available to care for dogs in the evening and on the weekends. They will also get special attention in the morning hours. I have a fenced in backyard and a silver Labrador of my own that loves to play with any and all dogs. I can accept crate trained dogs if needed.
“Blair did AMAZING job…. Our 2 cats typically do not ever let anyone see them…. But Blair was able to catch photos of them out of hiding…..Blair you are AWESOME and AMAZING…..highly recommend him for pet revive👏👏👏👏👏”
About: I always take care of my sisters dogs as well as friends dogs and I love it, it’s so much fun! I’m really good with animals. I have a cat of my own so I take care of her everyday but I go to school but have online classes so I have plenty of time to watch your pet. Dogs like more attention than cats so with my cat I give her space but with dogs give them more attention! I always am tentative to what varies to each animal

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Woodcrest is $39 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $39 and $39 per visit. 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 November 2026, there are 2,471 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Woodcrest. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Woodcrest. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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.
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.
