“Joy was amazing! She took phenomenal care of three dogs. They were walked multiple times a day and given lots of snuggles. I’m so excited to find someone so trustworthy to love on my pups while I’m away. Will definitely be booking her again!”
“She did an absolutely wonderful job taking care of our girls. She cares for other people’s animals like they are her own. It feels good knowing our dogs were well cared for, especially our medically fragile dog.”
About: I have always had a deep love for all animals but especially dogs and cats! I’ve had a dog (beagle mix) for 12 years and a cat for 5. I often pet sit for friends and family when they’re out of town which includes feeding, walking, playing, and making sure their animals feel as comfortable as possible while their person is away from home. I’m reliable, patient, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. Whether your pet is active or naps all day, I will treat them like my own and make sure they get all the love and care they need! Additionally- I understand how important communication is (I’m a Communication major!) and will keep you updated with lots of pictures and videos! I’m available for drop in visits, walks, and sitting throughout the week. I’m reliable and will always shows up on time. I’m more than happy to accommodate to your pets schedule and needs! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I will ensure your pet is always in a clean, secure, and calm environment along with following any and all instructions provided. I will never leave pets unattended in any unsafe situation. Additionally, I will treat your home with the upmost respect and leave everything as I found it. I also make sure to provide consistent updates (pictures and videos) of your pet while your away to ensure your loved one is well taken care of!
“Stephanie was just what we needed for a quick get away. She have consistent updates and not too much or not too little communication. Professional and courteous! Thank you!”
“Ian was SO incredibly kind. I have a Great Dane that is very needy & also very emotional. Ian made him feel like nothing changed when we left. Also the house looked like we never left when we returned. I cannot recommend him enough!!”
“I was very pleased with Paige and her quick response to meeting me and my puppy. She did a great job of watching her and keeping me informed. I will definitely have Paige out to watch and care for my little Poppi again!”
“We have used Rover several times for in-house dog sitting, and I can honestly say that Emma has been hands down, the best. She took excellent care of our pup and our home while we were away on vacation. She sent daily updates with pictures, and when we arrived home, the house was tidy and looked as if she had never been there. Emma is extremely professional and a genuinely nice person. Will definitely book again for our next trip!”
“Allison was extremely communicative and helpful with our pups! She even looked after an eye problem and gave meds 3 times per day for us while we were gone. Would highly recommend!”
“Emily is fantastic! She is very responsive to messages and is a clear communicator. She was very timely and followed directions for care. We received plenty of pictures. It was great to see Grace as at ease and comfortable with Emily while we were gone as she was at the meet and greet! We will definitely be using Emily again!”
“Mashon is basically a dog whisperer. She was amazing with Heeley. A very calm person. Heeley is a puppy and can be a handful. She handled her with ease. And in a very loving way. Her mom appreciated that. And if mama is happy everyone is :)”
“Catherine was wonderful! It was such a last minute booking, but she responded so quickly. It was a genuine relief to have her come and look after my dog and cat on such short notice. Both my dog and cat are of geriatric age and have differing needs with both having different medical conditions. She listened to our concerns and took our pet care instructions seriously. She comforted my dog who has severe separation anxiety and somehow managed to persuade my cat with princess-like standards to eat her entire can of cat food. Throughout the night, she responded quickly and sent pictures and updates. I would definitely book with her again the next time I am traveling with my pets in the Knoxville or Gatlinburg region.”
“Stephanie was great! She stayed at our home for 10 days to take care of our cat, Loki, and did such a great job. Her communication was fantastic — I loved getting photo updates and hearing how things were going while we were away. She’s so sweet, and it was clear that Loki felt comfortable and enjoyed her company. We came home to a happy cat and a tidy home, and I couldn’t ask for better care. Highly recommend her and would definitely book again!”
“Angela is wonderful! My dog just loves her and I always know that Angela will take care of her. I have booked her several times and plan to continue whenever I have to travel. Angela is a great communicator and someone I trust.”
“Peggy was wonderful with our shy little Chihuahua, Lily. I wanted someone in the house with our fur baby rather than just drop-in visits and it worked out wonderfully! Peggy was very respectful of our house and took good care of Lily. It was a win win situation for me and for Lil. When we got home I could tell that she had been taken care of well as she was happy to see us; but not clingy or nervous. I will definitely have Peggy in our home the next time we are planning to leave town and highly recommend her as your sitter.”
About: I am a dog mom to 2 reactive dogs, so I'm patient and understanding of different types of behaviors in dogs. I will care for your fur baby like they're mine! I am currently only working part-time, so I will have plenty of time for your fur babies! Very open to different schedules that suit both of our needs I will always send updates and pictures from my time with your pet. I understand the stress of having a stranger care for your fur family members, and I will of course care for them like they're my own!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Wooded Acres
Katie helped us out at the last minute which we really appreciated. She had to sit with our one dog who had ACL surgery today as he can't be left unattended for the next 6 weeks. She did everything just as we asked. We have used her before and will again.
Sydney went ABOVE AND BEYOND to take care of our pups. She even stayed later than we originally planned on needing due to our flights being delayed and offered to stay an extra night if we needed it. She communicated throughout and made it evident that taking care of our babies was her priority. I absolutely will be asking Sydney to watch our dogs again after this experience. Thanks again!!
Evelyn was amazing! She communicated well and kept me informed about everything happening at my house and with the weather. My travel plans got cancelled and rearranged at short notice so I was home later than expected and she kept showing up and taking care of my girl til I was able to get back. She’s also extremely knowledgeable about pets which was a fun bonus. I highly recommend her as a cat sitter!

FAQs for House Sitting - Wooded Acres
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Wooded Acres on Rover is $27.75 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 713 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Wooded Acres. 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 Wooded Acres 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 Wooded Acres 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 Wooded Acres 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.
