“Megan stepped in on short notice and took wonderful care of our two dogs and two kittens. She was thoughtful and attentive, making sure all of their needs were met. She even brushed the dogs’ teeth, cleaned the cats’ water fountain, and sent plenty of great photos while we were away. When we came home, the house was tidy and all of the animals were happy and relaxed. She also kept me well informed with detailed updates about meals and their daily activities. She was a pleasure to work with, and I would gladly book her again.”
“Kathleen was a great help taking care of our two dogs while we were out of town overnight! She was very communicative with updates and photos and was comfortable with giving oral meds. We would highly recommend her and hope to book her again soon. Thanks again Kathleen!”
“Blair is awesome! She stayed at our house for four nights with our Bernese Mountain Dog. We were nervous pet parents but Blair sent so many photos and gave us regular updates, which we very much appreciated. Thanks Blair!”
“Cassandra went above and beyond and accepted the request super last minute when I was unexpectedly hospitalized. My dog, Shadow, has liver cancer and takes multiple oral meds. Cassandra did great, and my house looked amazing! I cannot thank you enough!”
“I know Levon works mostly with dogs and I was very happy he was available on short notice (I had another rover sitter cancel within a week of my trip) to watch my sweet Anna. She can be shy and she was comfortable with Levon and he was able to give her the medication she needs. He was responsive and kept me updated. I would book with him again!”
“Jackson and Nichole were absolutely fantastic house and dog sitters! From the moment I initially reached out, they got back to me immediately and maintained incredible communication throughout the entire meet-and-greet process. When they came to the house, it was clear they were truly excited to meet and hang out with my pups, Lily and Thatcher. I admit I can be a little over-the-top when it comes to the safety and happiness of my dogs, but they made me feel completely comfortable and safe. I practically sent them a book of instructions and expectations, and they happily confirmed everything while working through any potential concerns. While I was away, they provided daily updates with pictures and videos, which gave me total peace of mind. They even went above and beyond by leaving work during their lunch break just to provide an additional potty break during the day. I couldn't recommend them more highly to anyone looking for attentive, reliable, and deeply caring sitters.”
“We’re so grateful to Diana for taking wonderful care of our rambunctious puppy in our home this past weekend! Shosh is a rescue who can be a little apprehensive around new people, but Diana’s calm, patient demeanor quickly won her over. As anxious new puppy parents leaving our girl for the first time, we especially appreciated Diana’s thoughtful updates and photos, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. She was also incredibly flexible and accommodating as our plans shifted, which made the whole experience that much easier. We couldn’t have asked for a better first experience and will absolutely book Diana again!”
“Ty and Ingrid are the best, they took care of my pups while I was out of town and sent regular updates so that I could enjoy my trip and not do my usual worrying! I could feel how caring and attuned they are as caregivers and with the dogs, and I knew that my pups were safe and cared for. Thank you so much for taking such great care of my pups😊”
“James is a joy. He took great care of the dogs and our home. We came home to a clean and tidy home. He took care of everything we had asked him to do and would highly recommend him again”
About: I've been walking my dogs my whole life; I've had an Akita, two Shiba Inus, and one husky mutt (all raised from puppies). I have dealt with all of the care required. I've taken care of many of my family and friend's pets as well as worked at a dog day care "3 muttskateers" for half a year. Im currently interning at a nearby studio and would love to spend some of my free time walking or checking in on dogs. I live near Leicester and am willing to make drives to spend time with your furry friend. I am very patient with dogs, allowing them to take the time they need to do what they need to do. I am aware that most dogs have boundaries, and just because they are showing them does not make them badly behaved at all. If instructed, I also have a lot of experience being stern.
“Casey was very easy to work with. We have two pups with challenges, one with sundowners and one recovering from surgery. Casey calmly handled the meds and needs for each. The house was in great shape when we returned, too. We've already booked her again for another stay!”
“She is awesome!! Our dogs love her on the first meet and greet. She stayed in our home and it was better then when we left it. We will definitely have her pet sit our 4 legged girls!”
“Sara did an amazing job pet sitting our 2 dogs over a long weekend in our home. I loved the frequent updates with pictures and could tell she understands dogs of all temperaments. Our boys were very well taken care of and our house was left in excellent condition. We will definitely use Sara again! The peace of mind allowed our family to have a relaxing getaway.”
“Laura is an amazing pet and house sitter! My pup can have some behaviors nand trouble meeting new people, but he immediately loved Laura and felt comfortable with her. My kitties too are very skiddish, but from photos they seemed to be comfortable with Laura’s presence. Not to mention, I came home to a clean house which enabled me to relax after a busy weekend away. Thank you so much and the fur babies cannot wait to see you again!”
“This was our first time using a dog/house sitter and it was perfect! Johnny was terrific and we can't thank him enough. We can't wait to plan another trip and know that our pups are being cared for like we care for them. Thank you! Thank you!”
“Skye was incredible! They are a breeze to communicate with and sent so many incredible photos every day. I could tell that my babies were well taken care of. They were super respectful of our requests and our house was spotless when we came home after our trip. We will definitely book with them again in the future!”
“Our dogs and cats were so happy with Laina. She left our home in great shape after staying with them for 4 nights, and communicated any questions or issues (which were minimal, because our animals are anxious!) quickly and professionally. We will definitely rebook for future petsitting. Thank you, Laina!”

Our experience with Jessie was absolutely amazing. They were incredibly patient and kind with our overly anxious dog, which meant so much to us. Jessie kept us informed throughout the process and made us feel comfortable knowing our girl was in good hands. We truly appreciate the care and understanding they showed and will definitely be booking with Jessie again.
Megan stayed with our dog and cat for two weeks and took wonderful care of them! She’s trustworthy, reliable, and genuinely cares about the animals she looks after. We felt completely at ease knowing our pets were in good hands while we were away. We would absolutely use Megan again for future pet care and recommend her!

Alice is an excellent sitter. She took the very best care of my 2 needy cats, always sending pictures and updates. I came home to a clean house, laundry done and my plants looked better than before I left. This was a 2 week sit and she went above and beyond! Highly recommend!
Lynsey took care of my 2 dogs and 2 cats while staying at my house for the week. I had to add another night last minute due to an issue with my flight. She was incredible and sent me tons of pics and updates throughout the week. I haven’t made it home yet but I’m so grateful that I found someone that I can trust with my babies. Thank you so much!
Megan was so amazing. Could not recommend her enough. She was very thorough with her notes and she gave updates on my cat constantly. It was the best experience I have had with a pet sitter and house sitter. She did above and beyond with my cat and even my house. I will be using her again in the future.
Incredible. Suzanne was kind courteous and prompt. We have a full house with 3 pets who needed overnight care while out of town for a little over a week. We had a meet and greet with the hand off for expectations and instructions. She sent daily updates, made special treats for our pets, handled dog walks and even took Kaz to the park! He had a great time and so did we. Highly recommend Suzanne and our pets are also looking forward to seeing her again soon! Thank you so much.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Woodfin is $56 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $83 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 638 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Woodfin. 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 Woodfin 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 Woodfin 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 Woodfin 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.
