“I have never felt so comfortable leaving my fur babies behind. Dakota made sure that they were well cared for and comfortable. She kept me updated and worked hard to make the transition as easy as possible. Highly recommend!”
“We felt so at ease with Damien. They sent thoughtful updates throughout the day without us even needing to ask, which made traveling so much easier. Our pets were clearly well cared for and happy. We couldn't be more grateful. We definitely recommend and will book again.”
About: I have hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats in home settings. I’ve watched dogs for multiple days, including both weekdays and weekends, handling feeding, walks, and maintaining their normal routine. Occasionally watched over more than one dog at a time. I also have experience with watching cats and ensuring they are taken care of multiple days at a time. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and respectful of both your home and your pet’s routine. Since I work full-time during the day, I’m best suited for pets that are comfortable being alone during work hours and thrive with consistent morning, evening, and overnight care. My goal is to keep your pets safe, relaxed, and on their normal routine while you’re away. I work full-time during the day, so I focus on providing reliable morning, evening, and overnight care. My mornings and evenings are structured and consistent, which allows me to stick closely to your pet’s normal routine for feeding, walks, and attention. On weekends, I have much more flexibility and can spend additional time with your pets while maintaining their schedule. I keep my calendar organized and only take on a limited number of clients to ensure each pet receives dependable, consistent care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping everything as close to their normal routine as possible. I follow all feeding schedules, walk routines, and care instructions carefully to help your pet feel comfortable and secure. I provide morning and evening care, along with overnight presence when booked for house sitting. I also make sure your home is respected and kept clean while you’re away. You can expect regular updates and photos so you know your pet is safe, relaxed, and well cared for.
About: I've been a pet parent for 3+ years now. I LOVE my dog Maple and will take care of your dogs like they're my own. I'm open to taking care of all breeds, sizes, and ages - I believe I'm able to adapt to the needs of any dog, from playful discipline for puppies, to gentle care for senior dogs. I also have experience with reactive dogs that I’ve dogsat. Looking forward to meeting you! I have a flexible schedule and am happy to work around your needs whenever possible! This can include early mornings, late nights, and even weekends. I like to have open lines of communication and want to make scheduling as easy as possible for you and your pets! I'm a big believer in bribing dogs with treats and will make sure they feel that they're in good hands. I also love being outdoors and am willing to go on excursions to trails for nice long walks or play time at the park. I’d love to take pictures and give updates on the adventures we go on!
“Kelly was great! We used her for over night stays and our pups couldn’t have been happier to have her. Our house was just as clean as we left it. We will be using Kelly again.”
“Wendy was absolutely fantastic! She was very accommodating, attentive and willing to go above and beyond while house/dog sitting! I would not think twice about using Wendy again to watch the pup!”
“Absolutely wonderful! For starters, my three dogs loved her! Even the one who is a little grumpy. She stayed in our house for three nights and looked after our dogs while there. She was very communicative, prompt, and respectful of our home! It looked like no one had even stayed there. Would love to book her services again (if our diaper dog didn't scare her off)!”
“5 stars!!! Peyton babysat and house sitted for our Irish Wolfhound puppy, our 2 old mini schnauzers and our cat. We will absolutely use her again. If you want someone to house sit and take excellent care of your babies, this is your lady. Thank you so much Peyton!!! -Owen and Jaimie-”
“Amazing house sitter, responsible and communicative! We had Jeff stay at our house for a week with our elderly pitbull and energetic saluki. Jeff took great care of our boys and our house and kept us updated the whole time. He is friendly and professional, 10/10 would reccommend!”
“Allison was amazing with our pittie mix rescue who was a stray for 2 years and can be anxious and skittish. She immediately loved Allison (more so than she even loves us, I was joking with my husband) and even went to sleep while Allison was watching her which is unheard of for our dog. Highly recommend, Allison is truly a dog whisperer!”
“Reagan took care of our two high-energy cattle dog rescues and everyone had a great time. You could tell the dogs were comfortable with her and she kept us updated on our trip. We look forward to booking her again.”
About: I’ve grown up in a home with dogs and cats, so caring for animals has always been a part of my life. I also have a dog of my own whom I’ve had since he was just 3 months old, giving me firsthand experience with the love, patience, and responsibility that come with raising a pet. I understand the importance of keeping pets happy, safe, and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m happy to provide loving attention, playtime, walks, feeding, and care based on each pet’s individual needs. I’ll treat your furry family members with the same love and care I give my own! I’m currently balancing work and school, so my availability may vary depending on the day. I do my best to be flexible and accommodate each pet’s needs. I’m available to discuss scheduling in advance and will communicate clearly with pet parents to make sure their pets receive the time, attention, and care they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. Growing up with dogs and cats and raising a dog of my own has taught me the importance of patience, supervision, and responsible pet care. I will follow your instructions carefully, maintain your pet’s normal routine, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I respect every pet’s individual personality and will provide a loving, clean, and secure environment.
“Heidi was wonderful with our big boy, Jake! At our “meet and greet,” Heidi built an instant rapport with Jake. During her stay, she followed all of our requests for his care, made sure he was happy, and sent us photos every day. She also took great care of our home during her stay. It was great to return from our trip - finding Jake very happy and our home just as we left it - Heidi exceeded all of our expectations!”
“Jacquelyne is incredible! I would definitely recommend. She took great care of our two dogs & also looked after our house with only short notice. She is reliable & communicates really well. I loved getting all of the pictures she sent so i knew our dogs were happy with her.”
“Christy mentioned that this was her first ever Rover booking. I was a little nervous about booking but she put any concerns to rest. She was very flexible and willing to meet Obi ahead of the booking date on two occasions. She sent daily photos and took great care of Obi. She also left the house very clean. I would definitely book Christy again in the future.”
“Amanda did a great job with our anxious and reactive dog. She handled all of his meds well and even gave him extra breaks and walks outside. He was happy and relaxed when we got home for our trip.”
About: **Currently only providing "at your home" care, to include drop-ins, walks, and possibly weekend overnights. Boarding again, in the near future, will keep my prior pet parents posted. If your interest is in drop-ins, I can provide you with a schedule of what that would look like for your pet/pets. :0) I have cared for pets for quite some time. Currently we have an adorable hamster named "Theodore". We'd love to have a dog of our own, but not yet. I am an animal lover and understand the importance of your pet to you. I have an 11 year old daughter, so need peace of mind your pet enjoys children. My daughter is very much a part of my pet care life. And knows the do's and don't(s). We are animal lovers, and truly enjoy every moment. I work part time for the Harford County Public School System. I enjoy spending time in the comfort of my home. I miss all of my prior pups and kitties, and am so happy about a repeat visit. I generally take pets in my care for a walk three times a day. They will be taken outside for pee/poop breaks often. The majority of my pup parents choose to board in my home. If you are boarding your pet, you are welcome to bring your dog's bed, I have an extra large crate for safety concerns, so you can leave your crate at home, and please bring any other comfort items your pet enjoys. I always place a gate between my front door and living space. And your pet, unless I need to step out for groceries, or to drop a child at ballet, will always be under my watchful eye; otherwise crated, or gated, in a secure area. Safety is my #1 priority.
“Kal stayed at our apartment with our two dogs while we were traveling. She provided outstanding, thorough care, and detailed updates throughout the stay which gave us constant peace of mind that our boys were happy and safe. I cannot recommend Kal highly enough and we will be using her for all our future pet/home sitting needs.”

The average cost of House Sitting in Woodfield is $47 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $43 and $111 per night.

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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Woodfield. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 96% 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.
