“Laura was super with my two little pups! She came and checked on them during the day and then stayed with them overnight. They actually ate for her which they don’t normally do when they were a new sitter so that speaks volumes! I can’t wait to have her back!”

About: I grew up on a farm with lots of animals and my first job was walking my neighbor's dogs! Since I am in college I can't have a dog of my own, but I am ready to make fast friends with yours! I am a student and work nights as a server so I have most mornings and afternoons to spend wherever is needed to care for your pet. I also am good at staying the night and making a quality connection with your pets. Although I cannot house your pets in my apartment, I am comfortable staying at your house and taking them to a local park. I will give your pets detailed and attentive care, as often as possible.

About: I grew up on a farm so I’ve been around animals all my life. Family and friends have trusted me for all of their pet-sitting needs for years. I currently have two dogs. I’ve dog sat dogs of all ages in my home and in the owners’ homes. Last fall, I witnessed a man dumping two dogs near my home. One of them was pregnant. We were able to raise the puppies and give them and the mom to loving homes. We kept the other dog and now her and the chiweenie that we already owned are best friends. I also have experience with special needs dogs. My chiweenie recently lost his left eye after another dog jumped on him. I've learned to be patient with him as he regains confidence and navigates everyday life with one eye. I am a full-time student at college. I do not have a job but I am looking for a part-time gig to do along with pet care. My classes aren't all day so I would be able to care for pets in the morning and as needed in the later afternoon/night. In the client’s home, I can feed, water, play with and follow whatever specific instructions I’m given. I can walk your dog on a leash and make sure they always have water.

About: I’ve grown up with two dogs, Stella and Bentley. I frequently foster animals ranging from puppies to adult dogs at my local humane society. I also volunteer with the cats as well! I will care for your pet as my own. I have class during the week but that is only for an hour or two a day. When I am not in class I am at home. I have plenty of time to take care of your pet. I am a very patient pet sitter. I listen and pay attention to what you tell me your dog or cat needs and I go beyond that. I do allow pets to be comfortable where they choose whether that’s on furniture, or on the cold floor. I will make sure your pets feel as comfortable as possible while away from their humans! I do not have any pets that live with me so having a guest pet every now and then is great.

About: I’ve always had a huge love for animals! I have a dog that I’ve cared for over the past 2 years and a cat that I’ve had for 6 months. Being a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to have someone you trust looking after your pets. I’m familiar with daily feeding, walks, playtime, and making sure pets feel happy, comfortable, and loved. Although I’m new to professional pet sitting, I’m very responsible, patient, and attentive. I’ll treat your pets with the same love and care that I give my own! I’m currently a college student at Auburn University, and I love spending my free time with animals! My class schedule gives me flexibility throughout the week, and I’m happy to work with pet owners to find times that fit their needs. I enjoy going on walks, spending time outdoors, and relaxing with pets, so pet sitting fits naturally into my routine. I’ll always make sure I have plenty of time to give your pets the attention and care they deserve! Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my top priority! I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I’ll always follow your instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walking routines, and any special preferences. I’ll make sure your pets have fresh water, plenty of attention, and a safe, comfortable environment. I’m also happy to provide regular pictures and updates so you can feel reassured while you’re away. My goal is to make your pets feel as loved and comfortable as possible!

“Alyssa was awesome. She arrived on time and spent a lot of time with my dog. Communication was easy and effective with her. She left my house exactly the way she found it. She let me know when she arrived and sent me a picture. She even made doggie treats and left them for my dog with a note when she left. I already have Alyssa booked again for next week and in July. Thank you for everything!”

About: I have two dogs of my own and have grown up taking care of my dogs and pet sitting my neighbors dogs! I have had experience dog sitting and house sitting in high school and since I have been in college at Auburn! I am currently a student at Auburn University, and with my current class schedule, I have plenty of time throughout the day to care for your dogs! I am not available on weekends, however, but am available every other day of the week! I grew up with two dogs in my family and have always loved having them around, so I’m very comfortable with all aspects of dog care. For small and mini dogs specifically, I make sure to give them a calm, safe space, watch closely during outdoor time since they can be more vulnerable to bigger dogs or hazards, and keep to their regular feeding and potty schedule. I treat every dog like my own and always prioritize their comfort and safety.

About: I bring hands-on experience from working in both kennels and animal shelters, where I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all breeds and temperaments. My time in these settings has taught me the importance of routine, trust, and compassion. I also have a unique skill set in caring for exotic animals, making me versatile and prepared for any type of pet. Whether it's a playful puppy, a senior dog needing extra attention, or any other kind of pet that requires specialized care, I’m ready to provide the best care for your furry (or scaly) friend! As a college student on a pre-vet track, I’m used to balancing a busy schedule while still making time for animals. I have multiple availability blocks throughout the week, which makes it easy for me to fit pet care into my routine. I’m organized and plan ahead, so I can make sure pets get consistent care whether that’s daily walks, feeding, playtime, or check-ins. Caring for animals is already a big part of my life and future career goals, so I naturally prioritize it in my day-to-day routine. I care for pets by treating them like family and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. In a client’s home, I stick closely to their usual routine for meals, walks, and playtime so they stay comfortable in their own environment. I’ve had many pets of my own over the years, so I understand how important it is to give them not just the basics like food and water, but also attention, patience, and affection. Every pet has their own personality, and I enjoy getting to know what makes them feel most at ease.

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 been caring for dogs for over 5 years as I have three dogs of my own, so I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine. I’ve helped care for family and friends’ pets by walking, feeding, playing with them, and making sure they feel comfortable while their owners are away. I’m patient, dependable, and love spending time with animals. Whether your dog needs a quick check-in, a long walk, or some extra attention and playtime, I’ll make sure they’re safe, happy, and cared for as if they were my own. I’m also happy to follow any specific instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications, or special needs. I’m in college but I have plenty of time to care for your pups! I’m available for drop-in visits and dog walks throughout the week and will do my best to accommodate your pet’s normal routine. I know consistency is important, and I’ll make sure your pup gets the care they deserve! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities! I have three dogs of my own and understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets. During visits and walks, I’ll carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, and any special needs. I’m happy to send photo updates during each visit so you know your pet is doing well! I’ll treat your home and your pets with the same care and respect that I would expect for my own family.

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.

“Rachel is an awesome dog/house sitter!! She has great experience with animals and when we were gone for 10 days, it was evident she took the time to get to know our two King Charles spaniels. One of them was feeling sick, and she knew right away what to do and took them to the vet & kept us updated. All is now well. She proactively provided daily updates, pictures, picked up out mail and even left the house spotless. She is the best dog sitter we have had! We will definitely be hiring her again and trust her with our home and pups! Thank you.”

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.

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!

FAQs for House Sitting - Woodfield

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 , 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 .

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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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 Woodfield. On Rover:

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections

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.
