“Mikayla was fantastic! I was immediately put at ease during our meet and greet, and while we were gone she was so communicative and sent great pictures each day. Our big cat Sampson loved her and she even managed to win over our super shy little one, Ann Perkins. We will definitely book with her again.”
“Jhada is AMAZING!!! She loved on my little munchkin very well was very attentive and communicative when there was any concern. I’m so glad I was able to travel for work without having to stress. Jhada thank you so much.”
“Sherry loved on my dogs so much. I received photos throughout the days she was house sitting, and I really appreciate the communication with Sherry. I would recommend and will definitely continue using Sherry’s services!”
“My fur baby bonded with Lanae quickly – it made me feel relaxed and able to enjoy my vacation. She sent updates regularly—with lovely and fun photos always!—played with Cai and even took the initiative to replenish her doggie frozen treats when we ran out! Lanae was so patient and flexible with some variables that came up and I appreciated that. I had no doubt that my fur baby was in great hands. I will definitely have her over to spend time with Cai again! Thank you, Lanae, for loving on Cai!”
About: I have 3 dogs of my own that I help take care of with feeding and walking. I also have my own cat that I take full responsibility for and take of for 3 years now. I’m currently working part time at a restaurant, so I am available pretty often. I also am currently a full time student at Georgia state university where I commute to starting late August on only Tuesday’s and Thursdays. I am a very responsible person who will follow any rules and instructions you give me. I will dedicate myself to your animal like they are my own.
About: Patient, firm but gentle dog handler and groomer. I have over 15 years of experience working with dogs including working as a dog groomer. I feel consistency is the best method to keeping dogs balanced so I will work closely with you to create a routine that is best for your fur baby. My approach as a handler is through repetition/consistency/patience. I primarily work from home, I do work part time a few days a week outside of the home. I aim to keep the same feeding and potty schedule the pet currently has to lessen anxiety and behavioral issues. If I’m not able to do so, I will not book the boarding. I give fur babies time and space to acclimate to the new environment. For safety no food, totes or treats are provided, except from pet parent. All fur babies are in collar & leash for bathroom breaks/walks. I board two fur babies maximum and small/medium sized fur babies only.
About: I understand animal behavior, studied force free training and finally became a certified dog trainer earlier this year. While working in a boarding facility I noticed the dogs were not happy, uneasy and confused. Some wouldn't eat for days, some wouldn't go potty outside, and most would desperately look for their owners during our walks. And don't even get me started on how disarrayed the cats were. From that experience I knew I wanted to encourage pet owners if they must leave their pets, leave them at home, or in a homely environment, where they can be undividedly attended to, loved and cared for. I am a stay-at-home mother/wife, writer, artist, and animal lover with ample flexibility throughout the week. I like to plan my days at least 24 hours in advance to ensure efficiency in all my duties. Nature, nurture, and animals are part of my purpose for living I believe. Therefore, their wellbeing is what I care about. I am disciplined, forthcoming and honest, and enjoy interacting with others of similar character. Even though I play heavily with animals when they want to play with me, I also create an atmosphere of mutual respect and order, usually upon 1st introduction. This allows the pet to follow my lead and trust in me as a child would a parent.
“Sahara was wonderful! Our previous sitter cancelled last minute, and Sahara made herself available to watch our 3 dogs 5 days before we left for vacation! I always have some anxiety about leaving my pups for vacation, but Sahara made me feel comfortable that they were in great hands. She sent videos and photos daily, and kept me updated on how she was taking care of them. We will gladly use Sahara again and are so grateful for her!”
“JMark was absolutely wonderful. He kept us updated throughout each day he watched our babies with pictures and videos. We were worried that our Malinois would not accept him and she took to him right away. She was attached to him so much so that when we came back it felt like she wanted him instead of us.🤣 JMark is definitely our man for next bookings.”
“Dan was fantastic with our two pups! They were very happy and well taken care of when we got home and the house was spotless. Dan sent pictures and updates which was very appreciated. We will absolutely use Dan again!”
About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life, especially when it comes to cats and dogs! I’m comfortable caring for a variety of animals and am happy to provide loving, attentive care tailored to each pet’s needs. I understand how important it is to follow your instructions closely, maintain your pet’s routine, and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. Clear instructions help me give your pets the best possible care! I am currently free any time, night or day, weekends as well. I can do extended stay or intermittent periods as needed. I can also do holidays. I know how to handle dogs or pups and cats or kittens. I take care in making sure all instructions are followed with utmost precision
About: With over 10+ years of experience in dog sitting and walking, I've had the privilege of working with dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. I love getting to know my clients and do my best to meet their expectations and requests. From helping puppies learn basic commands to providing gentle guidance for dogs, I’ve honed a skill set that focuses on positive reinforcement and building trust. Dog walking is something I truly enjoy—each walk is an opportunity to connect with dogs and give them the exercise and mental stimulation they need. What brings me the most joy, though, is giving back to my community. Helping dogs in need while fostering positive relationships with pet owners is incredibly rewarding. Being able to support families and their pets while making a positive impact on my neighborhood truly makes my work fulfilling. It’s not just about walking or training; it’s about creating a space where both dogs and their owners feel cared for and understood. Weekends and during the week are good days for dog walking or pet sitting appointments. I work full time, and allow enough time for pet sitting. I have two dog houses that my family and I built, cages used when necessary and tons of play space in the yard for my dogs. I am happy to provide my dogs with the utmost best care and upkeep!
“Our pets were well taken care of and we didn't have to worry about anything while we were away on vacation! We came home to happy pets and a clean well cared for home. Thank you so much Ariel!”
“Kiara was an excellent doggie and house sitter for us while on vacation. She was communicative and kept me updated on the dogs while we were gone. Would highly recommend working with her for your pet sitting needs!”
“Jennifer did a great job with our girls. We had her both house & dog sit for the days we were out of town. Valentine & Izzy were very happy when we returned home and our house was just as we left it. Jennifer sent us daily updates and pictures which was really nice. We feel our girls were very well cared for and we could definitely use Jennifer again and recommend her to others as well.”
“Her communication was a ten! Our children were well taken care of! They were smiling when we came home! She has such a kind spirit! House was in great order! Top tier sitter and person! I can tell she loves dogs.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 3,953 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.
