“Whitney took amazing care of our two dogs while we were out of town! She treated them like they were her own and gave us so much peace of mind, especially with leaving our puppy for the first time! Will absolutely be rebooking Whitney for future stays!”
“Christina was great with my animals. She went above and beyond by taking initiative to do things I would later ask about. Already done! I'm happy my babies were in such good hands while on vacation.”
“Rena was great with my pups and showered them with love. She made sure I knew about their day and how they were doing with lots of pictures and videos, which were greatly appreciated! She made sure one of our pups got her ear drops each day and let me know when she did them. I highly recommend Rena and will use her in the future :)”
“Miriam was an attentive overnight sitter for my two senior pups. Provided lots of pictures and videos and kept me up to date on their meals! Will book her again next out of town trip!”
“Kimberly was very attentive and professional. She replied to messages almost immediately and provided updated information and photos about the pets. It definitely made me feel more at ease during my trip. I would definitely be booking her services in the future.”
“Jazmine is amazing! My dog is not used to being around a lot of people and she was very patient with her and gained her trust. Now Chloe absolutely loves her ❤️”
“What a wonderful person. So eager to care for the biggest baby/needy pets around. My fur babies took to her right away. There for me even with an unexpected obligation. I look forward to having her as my go-to for my pet setter.”
“Kaitlyn was amazing. She was with my babies for 5 days. She took amazing care of them. They get anxiety when I'm not home so they don't really eat but she did really great on keeping me up to date if they did eat. She is very responsive and I felt very comfortable leaving them with her.”
“Alanna is so good with our pittie- a rescue who has a bit of reactivity and anxiety. I had to be away during my dog's "birthday" and Alanna made sure she had a special day and party with the birthday toys and treats I got her. A million photos and videos made me feel so much better about being away. Plus Alanna didn't hesitate to help a urgent rescue situation when puppies were dumped in our neighborhood- just a testament to her amazing spirit and love for dogs.”
About: I’ve worked professionally with animals for over a year and have experience caring for dogs, cats, and exotic pets of all breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments. I previously worked at a dog boarding facility, where I cared for pets with a wide range of needs, including administering medications, caring for senior pets, handling anxious and reactive animals, and following individualized care routines. I currently work as a kennel technician at a veterinary hospital, where I am learning more about animal health and daily medical care. I’m comfortable administering oral medications, giving insulin injections, and safely giving pills to pets that are hesitant to take them with food. I understand how important it is to carefully monitor pets for changes in behavior, appetite, or overall well-being. At home, I also care for 3 cats and 2 lizards, giving me firsthand experience with both traditional and exotic pets. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, elderly, or has special medical needs, I’ll treat them with the same patience, attention, and compassion that I give every animal I care for. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away, and to give you peace of mind knowing they’re in experienced hands. :) I currently work full-time at a veterinary hospital on a rotating schedule, so my workdays vary from week to week. Because of that, I keep my availability updated regularly. Even on days that I’m working, I’m often available to provide drop-in visits before work, after work, or during other available times depending on my schedule. On my days off, I have much greater flexibility and can accommodate multiple visits or longer stays. I am currently only accepting bookings no longer than 2 weeks. I understand how important consistency is for pets, so I’ll always communicate my availability clearly before booking and make sure your pet receives reliable, attentive care. If you have specific timing needs, feel free to reach out. I’m happy to discuss whether I can accommodate them! I believe the best care comes from keeping your pet’s routine as consistent as possible while you’re away. During each visit, I’ll make sure your pet has fresh food and water, potty breaks or litter box care, exercise, playtime, and plenty of love and attention based on their individual personality and needs. I’m happy to administer medications as directed, follow special feeding instructions, and accommodate senior pets or those with medical needs. I always pay close attention to a pet’s behavior and well-being and will let you know immediately if I notice anything concerning. I am totally okay with sending photo and video updates so you can see how your pet is doing. Whether your pet loves to play, cuddle, go for walks, or simply have someone sit quietly with them, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for until you return. :)) At this time, I primarily provide care in my clients’ homes to help pets stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I may also be able to care for small caged pets in my home on a case-by-case basis.
About: I've been caring for all types of animals since i was 12 years old. I've trained dogs such as German Shepherds and Pitbulls, and have experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages and sizes. I currently have the pleasure of loving 2 of my own special needs cats and a large tarantula. As well as this, my previous employment was a small pet care business in Georgia providing drop in visits for feeding, playtime and potty breaks, overnight sitting, walks, extended stays and taking care of exotic animals like birds. Throughout my life I've personally owned a snake, rabbit, hamsters, cats, dogs, spiders, moths and a bird! I'm looking forward to be an extra loving hand for your pets! I'm currently a full-time pet carer, caring for my special needs cats and others' lovely pets. I have plenty of time to care for your beloved fur babies and understand the ever-changing pace of life with pets, and am happy to accommodate. Any timeframe and any day, you can count on me to be reliable! Every pet parent is different and we all like specifics when it comes to the pets we love, so I always like to discuss with you about what you'd like done regarding crating, backyard time, car rides or park visits and waste disposal. I NEVER use punishment on any pet, and instead prefer a positive reinforcement only approach. I would like to be aware of your pets' allergies, triggers, injuries and fears so I can provide the best experience for them and for you!
About: I've raised 5 dogs over the years—puppies, seniors, and everything in between. From skin conditions to medications, I've handled it all. I've cared for Pit bulls, Rottweilers, Schnauzers, Terriers, Chihuahuas—you name it. No breed fazes me. No issue scares me. Your dog gets 15+ years of real, hands-on experience. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I'm home most days and have flexible availability for walks, check-ins, and overnight stays. Your pet's schedule becomes my priority. I care for your pet right in your home, following their routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. Feeding, walks, playtime, medication—I handle it all exactly as you do. I respect your space, keep it clean, and send daily photo updates so you're always in the loop. Your pet gets love. Your home gets respect. You get peace of mind.
About: Best Care for Your Pets! Hi! My name is Katlin. I've been surrounded by animals my entire life and have always had a passion for caring for them. I currently share my home with my spouse, my two daughters, our dog and cat. Our animals are truly part of our family. I love spending time outdoors, whether it's going for walks, playing fetch, or simply giving dogs the attention and exercise they need. Having owned dogs with a variety of personalities and energy levels, I'm comfortable caring for pups of all ages and temperaments. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their family is away. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family members. That's why I'll treat your pets with the same love, patience, and care I give my own. I'm also happy to provide regular photo and video updates, so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply having someone nearby, I'll make sure they receive personalized care and plenty of affection. I would be honored to care for your pets and look forward to meeting both you and your four-legged family members! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine as a pet owner myself. I care for my dog, cat, and betta fish every day, including feeding, exercise, playtime, and ensuring they have a safe and comfortable environment. Because caring for animals is already a regular part of my schedule, I am able to provide dependable, attentive care for your pets as well. Whether it’s a walk, drop-in visit, feeding, or simply providing companionship, I enjoy making sure pets receive the attention and care they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. My home is a clean, pet-friendly environment where animals are treated like family. I carefully supervise all pets, maintain a secure space free of hazards, and ensure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. As a pet owner myself, I understand the trust it takes to leave your furry family member with someone else, and I am committed to providing a safe, loving, and stress-free experience while they are in my care.
“Sarah was fantastic! She sent daily photos of Arlo, including him snuggled up with her on the couch. She is always quick to respond, easy to communicate with, punctual, and left my home cleaner than when she arrived. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again!”
About: I have 4 dogs and 7 cats myself and can manage a lot of animals. I can provide play time and walks as well as follow any medication needs or restrictions. Any days available on my calendar are currently wide open, any conflicts that might be a random plan will be communicated clearly up front upon booking :) I feed my own dogs and cats on a very strict schedule and have been able to manage their medication and health needs consistently. I’m willing to adapt to a client’s schedule and provide any adjustments that are necessary.
“Marissa did a fantastic job caring for our dogs. She was timely, always sent pictures, and the dogs were happy and healthy when we got back. Communicate was excellent, I cannot recommend her enough!”
“Brittany is such a caring dog sitter! She spent so much time with our fur-babies so they would be as happy and comfortable as possible while we were gone. We're so glad we found Brittany!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Woodfield is $43
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Woodfield
Destiny went above and beyond for my senior pup. My pup was still looking for her when she left and we will be rebooking for sure. She stayed over night and respected our home and belongings. Everything was perfect her communication was spot on with updates as well.
Whitney did a great job caring for my senior doggies. She was very responsive and sent regular updates throughout the week she stayed at my home. The house was just as I left it and she even did some cleaning of the dog’s area while she was there. Highly recommend.
Aerianna clearly has a special way with animals, and I can't recommend her enough! She sent frequent updates, photos, and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. My dogs are usually professional couch potatoes, but they were all smiles with her around. I think they might've been a little disappointed when I came home.
I’m so very grateful to Rena and her ability to come do some housesitting and dog playing last minute due to a medical emergency!! She sent me so many pictures and the boys had so much fun. They were so happy and relaxed! It really made my heart happy to know that I was able to focus my attention on the medical issue and know that my pups were in good hands
Nicole was such an amazing pet sitter! We got 3-4 updates a day full of pictures and updates on how our babies were doing! In every picture the dogs were smiling and seemed to love her company! She also kept the house and everything so tidy and even got our mail for us! Definitely recommend booking her!!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Woodfield on Rover is $39.41 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 543 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Woodfield. On Rover:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 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.
