About: I grew up training puppy’s and always having a dog/cat in the home. I am a loving dog sitter and will give your dog the care they need! I am an early riser and love to go on walks so your furry friend will get great exercise!! I like schedules and routines, and my house is always very clean! I do not have any animals so there is no issue worrying if they will get along! I live in a very spacious apartment and absolutely love to go on walks!
“Pretty sure my pets like Harris more than they like me now. Also my house was cleaner when I got home than when I left. She was truly incredible. 12/10 all around - will absolutely BEG her to come back next time we travel!”
About: I’ve been taking care and looking after dogs as long as I can remember! I’ve had friends and family rely on me to care for their fur babies! I always make sure they are comfortable and well entertained to the point they enjoy their experience! Every fur baby is cared with intention. I’m currently working part time, so I’ll have plenty availability for the pups!! I’m available for boarding during the weekend and weekdays! I currently live in an apartment! All pets will need a crate! I also have a lovely fur baby to keep company with your fur baby!!
“Caden is amazing! He watched our pups and house for us while we were on our honeymoon & took such great care! He checked in daily & left our house in great condition! We would 10/10 recommend him and will be using him in the future!”
About: I’ve grown up caring for animals all my life; cattle, dogs, cats, hedgehogs, and many more. I have experience in small dogs and large, specifically dachshunds and Siberian huskies/Malamutes, as I’ve grown up with those breeds since I was a toddler! My home is very assessable to those prone to IVDD as I currently have my Mini-Dachshund living with me. I know how to administer limited medications, pills and solution/liquid medications. I am also able to provide nail trimmings for dogs only, no additional charge; I can provide my own clean dremel/nail clippers. I’m also a very patient person, so new pets won’t be a problem. I have experience with dogs who experience anxiety/are skittish. And I am experienced with elderly pets! I’m currently working part-time as a pharmacy technician (1-3 days a week) and I am in school full-time. I am able to make time after and between classes to fit all the love and attention into the needs of pets. I live on the 3rd floor of an apartment complex, I’m happy to carry the smaller pets up stairs if they have trouble with stairs! I don’t necessarily have a fenced in yard, but we do have a fenced in area specifically for dogs, most people in the complex don’t use! I enjoy taking the dogs on walks either around campus or shorter walks around the complex/home, I’m very active if your pet needs mental stimulation I am perfect for that; if your pet is more of a calm and lazy animal I can also provide for them as well! I’ve been know to be a very organized person, so if your pet is on a specific schedule I can usually adapt to that schedule very quickly and efficiently whether that’s feeding, walking or medications.
“I cannot say enough good things about Linda. She took the BEST care of our babies while we were on vacation. She gave me updates daily, along with photos and videos. She even took care of my garden while we were gone so we wouldn’t lose the plants to the heat. I would call on her again with my pet and home sitting needs. She is amazing!!!!”
About: I raised my first dog at 7, and have been the designated dog trainer, and sitter since. I have fostered over 7 dogs in my lifetime. All different breeds and energy levels. The oldest dog I have adopted was a 15 year old blind dachshund. I am experienced with animals with conditions such as hip pain, aggression, blindness, and hearing impairment. I have two corgis currently, one raised and trained by me, the other a rescue. I am experienced in handling reactive, aggressive dogs, and am equipped to redirect their attention from the trigger with their favorite treats or toy. My work schedule is inconsistent, but I work mornings and early afternoons about 4-5 days a week, and can stop by to feed, or walk early in the morning, and afternoons before work or on my break. I have Sundays off completely I have experience with reactive, very energetic, and or elderly animals. I have looked after just over 7 dogs in my life time, and trained a corgi. I am very patient, it’s their first time on earth too, but assertive if the need arises
About: I have many years of experience taking care of a variety of different dog and cat breeds as I grew up traveling all over the world. I have a lot of online classes so only my mornings are decently busy. I don’t currently have another job right now so my afternoons are very open. I am very good at keeping a schedule and making sure they are fed on time, have plenty of fresh water and exercise, and feel comfortable and safe. I make an effort to follow the pets usual routine. I also am very happy to provide regular updates and pictures.
“Ashley was absolutely amazing! Our daughter went into labor unexpectedly early, and we needed someone to care for our three dogs on very short notice. Ashley responded to our same-day request and, within just a couple of hours, was at our home and ready to help. She stayed with our three dogs for several days, giving us complete peace of mind so we could focus on being with our daughter and enjoying the arrival of our new grandchild. Her responsiveness, flexibility, and genuine care for our dogs meant so much to our family. We could not have asked for a better pet sitter. Ashley went above and beyond when we needed her most, and we would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, dependable, and caring. Five stars all the way!”
About: “I’,ve taken care of families pets and animals on my parents farm I also own 25 pets at my parents farm and I love taking care of all animals even potty training for puppies I work from home and have a lot of free time on my hands so I believe pet sitting would be a good opportunity to help other , pet owners and become a good part of my weekly routine. The way I care for pets under my care is paying full attention to them in my environment an providing pictures and videos every few hours to clients to know there pet is in good care.
About: I've taken care of dogs, horses, and cattle since I was very little! I am currently in vet school learning how to take care of them even more I am currently in vet school, so my time is unfortunately limited, I would be able to walk and tend to your pet after my class hours! My plan is to be able to tend to your pet at your home! This will allow me to go and walk them around and feed/water them as needed
“Tori did an amazing job caring for my animals. She sent me tons of pictures w/ updates and spent lots of quality time with my little zoo. I am truly impressed. I would absolutely recommend Tori to anyone needing a pet sitter!”
“I left my 3 dogs with Abby(Mary) for a week. She did a great job of communicating with me, including sending photos. One dog had a bandage on her foot that came loose. Abby took care of the rebandaging and did a great job! I highly recommend Abby and will be calling on her again for my future travel needs.”
About: I’m a biology Ph.D. student with a strong background in animal behavior, so pet care is something I take seriously beyond just “I like animals.” I’ve worked with and studied animal behavior across different species, including birds, fish, reptiles, ferrets, cats, dogs, and other small animals. Because of that, I’m comfortable reading body language, stress signals, fear responses, curiosity, overexcitement, and the difference between an animal needing attention versus needing space. What sets me apart is that I do not treat every pet the same. A nervous cat, an energetic dog, a shy lizard, a curious ferret, and a bird that is easily startled all need different handling. I pay close attention to each animal’s normal routine, personality, and comfort level. I move calmly, avoid forcing interaction, and try to earn trust instead of assuming it. I’ve had my own pets and grew up around family pets, especially cats, and I’m also comfortable with less “typical” animals like ferrets, birds, reptiles, and small mammals. I know that some pets are easy right away, while others take time, patience, and consistency. I actually enjoy working with the ones that need a little extra understanding. I’m careful with the basics: food, fresh water, litter boxes, walks, enclosures, doors, gates, leashes, temperature needs, and owner instructions. I’m also very comfortable giving updates, noticing behavior changes, and communicating if something seems off. My goal is to keep your pet safe, calm, and cared for in a way that matches their normal life as much as possible. My schedule is flexible, especially with advance notice. As a student, I’m used to balancing responsibilities and planning ahead, so pet care fits well into my routine. For drop-in visits, walks, or sitting, I like to know the pet’s normal schedule so I can keep things as familiar as possible. I’m happy to work around feeding times, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medication instructions if clearly explained, and any specific routine your pet is used to. Safety is the main thing I focus on. I’m careful with doors, gates, crates, leashes, food instructions, and anything a pet could get into while their owner is away. I do not assume every animal wants the same type of attention, so I move calmly and let them warm up at their own pace. In a client’s home, I follow instructions closely and try to leave things exactly how I found them. I’m respectful of the home, the pet’s routine, and any boundaries the owner sets. If something seems off, like a pet not eating, acting unusually stressed, or having an accident, I would rather communicate than ignore it.
About: Growing up with dogs has led me to be comfortable of dogs any size, but I have grown up with only smaller dogs! I have had dogs with special accommodations so I am more than happy to accommodate! I love going on walks, to the park, & playing with any pup no matter the size & personality!!! I’m currently working part time so I’ll have plenty time to come take care of your sweet doggies! They’re family too! Some days can be a little busy, but we can work something out no problem!!! Growing up with dogs, I have no problem making the dogs feel the most comfortable whether it’s sleeping with someone or in a crate, etc!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I’ve been in high-school. I also am a veterinary student so I have loads of experience caring for and handling animals of all shapes and sizes which sets me apart. I’m currently in professional school so I’m available at most times during the weekend. During the week I usually only have afternoons available, but I’m super flexible with schedules. I will happily adhere to any preferences owners have for their pets in respect to their home. I also always provide transparent communication with clients because I like to keep clients in the loop
About: I have a ten year old German Shorthaired Pointer who’s very energetic and loves to play! I love talking dogs on walks and getting to play with them! I currently have a job during the day, however the schedule is not the same every week, and I do go multiple days without working sometimes. When I’m in your home I will make sure that your pets are safe, healthy, and happy! Spending time with an animal while the owners are gone is very important to me!
The median cost per night for house sitting in Woodfield is $38
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Woodfield
Eliza was delightful to meet! She asked thoughtful questions about my expectations on the care of my two little, senior, female dogs. One has incontinence issues and Eliza was willing to go above and beyond what I even do through the night for my babies. She followed my directions to the letter for any clean up. I have hardwoods, so cleanup is important. She was also very mindful of my instructions for the furniture if the pups sat with her. My girls are difficult, the chiweenie can bark endlessly, Eliza was not phased at all. She sent plenty of updates and pictures at timely intervals. Enough to prevent me from worrying, but not so many that my phone was taking away from my mini vacation. She is knowledgeable, professional, and just a joy. 10/10 recommend her and will definitely ask her first if we travel again soon.
Chelsea was amazing! During our meet and greet she asked how often I would like updates which I found very thoughtful, and I got both pictures and videos each update! Chelsea was so kind and even put sheets and towels in the wash before leaving. I’d love to book with Chelsea again!
Alex stepped in quickly and competently when our first house sitter was not holding up her end of the bargain - (we were very worried about our dog and our home!). This meant he had to just show up without a meet and greet with our gal Lucy (60+ pound mixed breed). He made fast friends with her, kept us updated with cute photos, and put our minds at ease. We’re grateful!
Emily was great! She was very active with our dog and took her on walks, sent regular updates with pictures, which we loved, and was generally very professional and communicative. She even turned around after she left to help us fix something with the house that she noticed. Totally above and beyond the call of duty. Can’t wait to have her back!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Woodfield is $33 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $26 and $49 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 October 2026, there are 298 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Woodfield. 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 Woodfield 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 Woodfield 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 Woodfield 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.

- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
