“Highly recommend Joy as both an in-home pet and house sitter. She took the time to do a meet and greet with our two dogs which went a long way toward building our confidence in leaving them in her care. While we were away she treated our dogs as the center of the universe and went above and beyond to be sure they were very well loved and cared for. We know this because she is very communicative sending photos and videos of them throughout the day. It was like they were at doggie summer camp. Joy left our home cleaner than we did and is a delight to work with.”
“Katy did a wonderful job with our dogs; they seemed well taken care of when we returned and the house was clean and tidy. Katy has a very sweet personality and it is obvious she loves dogs. She also sent daily pictures of Quincy and Buddy, which always made us smile.”
“Ellen is WONDERFUL. She did great with our dogs, followed all of our instructions for their care, and was super responsible and easy to communicate with. She was also super understanding about some of our dogs' quirks, and when there were any issues/concerns, she was awesome about communicating so that we could troubleshoot and get things going smoothly for the rest of her stay. Came home to happy dogs and a house that was cleaner than when I left. Would 1000% recommend!”
“Cassondra housesat and watched our 1 yr old dog and 2 cats while were were gone for over a week- I was nervous as we had not been away from our dig since adopting her, and she has some anxiety. Cassondra took excellent care of all our animals, everyone was healthy and happy when we returned! She sent us regular updates and pictures, handled any minor things that happened, and left our house spotless. We will definitely be hiring her again!”
About: I have been pet sitting for family and friends since I was a teenager and have become a reliable source for dog, cat, fish, and even chicken care! I take pride in providing care and comfort for pets while their loved ones are away. I grew up around pets and livestock so I am very comfortable with animals of various sizes and temperaments. I am working part time on the weekends so I have open availability for drop-ins during the week. I am also interested in overnight housesitting and am open to doing so during weekends if the proximity to my work is reasonable. I am happy to feed and water your pet as well as administer medication. I will gladly let them out to play in a fenced area and make sure they are secured and comfy before I leave! I know every pet has their quirks and completely understand if you have any specific instructions to keep them happy.
“Becky is amazing. I just moved to the area and I was in need of a sitter on short notice and she was more than happy to help! She sent me tons of pictures during her stay and she made me feel very comfortable with her calm caring demeanor. I felt perfectly safe with her in my home and she put me at ease that my fur babies were getting the best care. I even booked her again and will continue to do so.”
About: Hi everyone! I’ve been pet-sitting since I was 15, and walking dogs since I was 10 years old. I have pet-sat a variety of animals, including dogs, cats, chickens, and guinea pigs. I also have experience with any age or health status- senior dogs, kittens, medicated pets, etc. In general, I’ve experienced many different circumstances, so I can adjust easily. Animals have been a lifelong interest for me. I was the girl begging my parents for a dog, and I take care of my current roommate’s cat frequently while she’s away. I promise to nourish, entertain, and take care of your pet like they’re my own. I'm currently a college senior, though I only have on-campus classes twice a week. This means I can be present quite often for your pet. 4-6 hours or more between feeding/potty breaks is ideal for me. Besides that, I'm quite flexible. In my college house, we already have a cat, and my family back home has a dog; needless to say, I'm used to caring for pets in my free time. I can only pet-sit at the client's house. Due to my roommates and the cat we have, I'm unable to board a pet. I always keep a close eye on the pet's behavior and ensure they're fed on time every day. If they get into something, I'll clean them up no problem. I also have a list of emergency vets I'm prepared to go to if the client doesn't have a preferred vet of their own. However, my specific care of the pet(s) depends on the client's instructions and preferences.
“Elaina was great with my cats! She sent updates and pictures and the both came out to visit, which one of them is a tad shy and takes a bit to warm up to people. Will definitely be trying to use her again in the future!”
About: I'm KJ and I'm looking forward to hanging out with your pets! I have been an animal lover all my life. I grew up with dogs and became a first time cat mama in 2019, then added two more to the bunch soon after. We adopted a senior dog this year. I was lucky enough to end up with a partner and friends who work with professional dog and cat entertainers, and I have experience caring for, playing with, and cuddling those animals, as well as friends and family’s pets. While I cannot board your pet since I have my own, I'd love to do drop in visits or overnight stays to ensure they are comfortable and have fun while you're away! I often tag team my pet sitting with my partner, Rachel, who is also a certified Rover sitter. If I'm not available or if I already have a booking for your proposed days, Rachel can help you out! Check out her profile at https://www.rover.com/sit/rachej43290. 🏳️🌈 queer cat and dog owner and would love to offer my services to other queer/trans pet parents I work as a baker during the day, but am off three days a week, so I can spend all day with your babies on those days! I try to make your pet as comfortable as possible, and always respect their boundaries. If they love cuddles, my lap is open! If they’d rather not be pet except when approached, I’ll ensure they have their space and are comfortable.
“Haley did an incredible job with our dog while we were away. She was very communicative, followed our requests, and gave our boxer plenty of love. We recently moved to the area and our dog seemed to have a hard time adjusting to having a dog sitter, but Haley was incredibly patient and understanding. I would highly recommend booking with her!!”
About: Hello my name is Sarah! I have been pet sitting for 13 years. I worked at a vet clinic for a while and have a passion for all things animals from cats and dogs to reptiles and farm animals. I also worked on a ranch for about 3 years in Texas and cared for and helped train K9 dogs, so I definitely have some experience to give in that department if needed. Since I worked at a vet clinic I am also capable of administrating medicine if required as well. I hope this finds you well and you reach out to me to care for your furbabies! Hope to hear from you soon! I’m currently trying to make this my full time so I’m available when needed and have plenty of time to play and care for your furbabies! I will only care for pets in their own home as to not stress them out with unfamiliar territory and animals. They will be well cared for and get lots of walks, play time, and any additional care needs or instructions that you may want or need! I do require written care instructions as to have full communication of what is needed, I have found that it’s best for all parties just incase anything is not talked over during our initial meeting or conversations.
“Jill did an awesome job with our 3 goldens. She stayed in our house while we were away to take care of them. She kept us posted with frequent updates and photos, made sure they get exercise and stick to their normal schedule. She also took great care of our home. I definitely recommend Jill! Thanks Jill!!”
About: I've got a passion for taking care of animals. They make our daily lives brighter. I've had my own cat and dog since age 8 and have pet sat others as well. I've got a part time job from 3-6 during weekdays. But most holidays I have off and weekends as well. I'm flexible schedule wise so your pet can get adequate care. Beings away from your pet is stressful for both the owner and the pet. I want to disrupt your pets daily schedule as little as possible. Keeping your pet as happy as possible is my main priority.
About: I have hands-on experience from interning at a veterinarian clinic and working for a local pet care company similar to Rover. As a pet owner myself (dog and epileptic kitten), I know how to handle walks, feeding, bathing, medications, and more. Your pet will be in caring and capable hands! I am available most weekends. I also work from home often, which provides me more flexibility. However, days I am in the office, I am available mornings, lunch time, and evenings. I provide attentive, personalized care by ensuring pets are fed, walked, and given plenty of affection. I follow routines, administer medications if needed, and maintain a safe, comfortable environment in both my home and clients’ homes. I have an epileptic kitten, so am no stranger to anything pet related.
“Booked her last minute, she was able to do a meet and greet fast just to make sure it was a right fit. Played with my dog and was overall great & very communicative! Thank you Samantha! 10/10 recommend!”

Ellen is WONDERFUL. She did great with our dogs, followed all of our instructions for their care, and was super responsible and easy to communicate with.

Came home to happy dogs and a house that was cleaner than when I left. Would 1000% recommend!
Joy was wonderful! Sent lots of pictures and videos which I really appreciated! Would have loved to hear about their days and mannerisms with her! But she was so accommodating and finding someone to watch my little terror is hard so we are really happy to have found joy!!
Jenni was very understanding and attentive with my sweet kitty. She even offered to give regular / daily updates, which was much appreciated. I was glad she was able to stay with her while we were gone, and she was very empathetic to my concern and my instructions. We really appreciate Jenni's attentiveness and communication, it was much appreciated!
Five stars don’t do Miranda and Kendall justice! We were already on vacation when our original sitter couldn’t make it, leaving us scrambling to find someone to care for our cat and dog. They responded so quickly and were able to get over to them right away. They truly went above and beyond, sending photos from every visit, twice a day. Knowing our pets were getting so much love and attention gave us peace of mind and allowed us to enjoy the rest of our vacation. We’re so grateful for their kindness, care, and willingness to help at the last minute. They are awesome, and we would happily book them again. We can’t recommend them enough!
This was the second time we got to work with Rebecca! Both times she was great! This latest time our oldest dog decided to be challenging with some accidents and she had to deal with that. She just cared for our fragile German Shepard. She took great care of our home and sent regular updates! Rebecca is great and we hope we can work with her more in the future. Thank you!
Hannah was dedicated to the care of my animals and very kind to them. She was thorough and thoughtful of them, and my cat that hides all the time came out to hiding to sleep with her. She updated me with photos and left my home in great condition. I’ll definitely use her again!
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!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Wooded Acres is $32 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $72 per night. 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 669 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Wooded Acres. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
