“Jacquelin was great! She took excellent care of Billie and made sure she was happy, comfortable and well looked after while I was traveling. Coming home to a happy dog and a tidy house gave me a great peace of mind. I would definitely use her again and highly recommend Jacquelin to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.”
“Allysa did a wonderful job with our senior girl! She was responsible, caring, attentive, proactive and communicative. She did an all around amazing job! I would not hesitate to have her stay again. Thank you, Allysa!”
“Lena was so great! I was traveling with my dachshund Frankie and staying in an Airbnb and needed someone to watch Frankie while we were out during the day and at dinner. Lena was super flexible and made herself available and Frankie loved napping on her lap and chewing her bone next to her. I could tell Frankie felt safe and right at home with Lena. It put me at ease and made our travels easy as could be.”
“We couldn't have asked for a better dog sitter. Sophie was so caring and she even sent over some great photos while we were enjoying a great comedic performance. Our dogs immediately like Sophie. We would absolutely recommend Sophie and will use her again.”
“We just had Athena stay with our Roxy girl for the past week. She was amazing with updates and pictures. She even took Roxy to the dog park as she loves it! Our house was taken care of as well! We couldnt recommend her more..no wait..maybe not as we dont want her booked up the nwxt time we need her!”
“Emma did a wonderful job taking care of our puppy, Leia, while we were out of town. She was great with communication, kept us updated every day and was both responsive and proactive throughout. Highly recommend and we will definitely book her again. Thanks, Emma!”
About: I can provide dependable care for your pets while you are enjoying your time away from home. I pay close attention to routines, and individual needs. As of right now I am available most weekends, from early Friday afternoon till Sunday..Or during the week I can do evening walks if needed. I prefer to take care of pets in their own home. In their own home they feel more comfortable and safe, less stress on them.
“This was our first time using Rover, and Alicia was phenomenal. We felt such at ease having her in our home and knowing our dog was well taken care of by her. I will definitely be reaching out to Alicia again the next time we need a sitter.”
About: I have been around animals of all kinds since a young age and love interacting with pets. Many of my friends and family members have relied on me to stay overnight, drop in during the day, and play with their dogs and cats to ensure they are enriched with play time and are well taken care of. I love fur babies of all sizes and breeds! I grew up with 2 large Rottweilers Bear Puppy and Katie. 3 Shih Tzu’s Molly, Alley and Cash and 1 miniature schnauzer Nicholas. I’m currently working part time in Downtown Charleston. Mondays and Wednesday I have more flexibility before 1:00 pm because I work remotely. Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday I am available for any lunchtime walks, play dates, and all the fur baby love! While I wish I could bring your pets to my home, I do not have the proper safety precautions for doggies and my kitties are timid of visiting pets, so I want to respect their home. When it comes to going into the pets homes I will ensure that all dogs remain on their leash while on walks away from the home and in the yards of their homes unless there is proper fencing to keep them safe. And same goes for inside/ outside kitties. I want all pets I interact with to feel safe in their environment and comfortable with me caring and interacting with them!
“Indeed. A pleasant experience interacting with Kelly. Punctual friendly, very knowledgeable about dogs. Communicated with us through out the day. Will definitely use her again.”
“Rachel was communicative, trustworthy, and took good care of my pets and home. I'd be happy to have her house/pet sit for me again. Overall good person that my animals enjoyed having around.”
“I cannot recommend Lydia enough for all of your petsitting needs - she watched our pups AND backyard ducks when we went out of town for the weekend. My husband and I came home from our trip to two content and relaxed boys (our dogs) and four happy and peppy girls (our ducks). Lydia went above and beyond by taking out the trash, washing the towels, and changing the sheets before she left…we’ll most definitely use her again!”
About: Experience in seniors / sick and injured / puppies. Familiar with all household pet mammals. I like to send pics and vids throughout my time watching them. I'm a marine biologist for South Carolina Department of Natural Resource for my full time job. I love advocating or animals and the environment. I have a flexible work schedule and can drop in before and after work. I can accommodate my own transportation and mid-day drop in if needed. I have spare bedrooms available for pets to stay in as well as a fenced in backyard and open floor plan. My home is filled with lots of friends (4 kitties , 1 bunny, and 2 pups ).
“We needed a last minute sitter to stay with our dog Banksy for a week. We were naturally worried about inviting a stranger to stay in our home but when Rachel came over for a quick meet/greet we immediately relaxed. Rachel was so friendly, kind, honest and normal that we had no worries whatsoever. And we were right. Rachel kept Banksy busy and updated us daily with info and pics. We just got home and Banksy is happy and the house is spotless. We highly recommend Rachel for your pet sitting needs!”
About: I've been actively caring for animals for more than 14 years :). Growing up, I regularly pet-sat for family friends, and my family often took in stray cats and litters of kittens, giving me hands-on experience with pets of all ages and personalities. Today, I have three cats of my own and continue to pet sit for friends and family. I understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your pets, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. Whether your pet needs playtime, companionship, a consistent routine, or extra patience and attention, I'm committed to providing loving and reliable care while you're away. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I have a full-time job with a very flexible hybrid schedule. On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, I can work from anywhere, which gives me plenty of flexibility to provide care, check-ins, walks, or companionship throughout the day. I currently specialize in occasional bookings, vacation care, and drop-in visits. At this time, I’m not accepting recurring weekly walking schedules. I'm also fully available on weekends. At home, I care for my three cats with my partner, which allows me the flexibility to accommodate pet sitting while ensuring every pet gets the attention and care they deserve. I enjoy spending time with animals and am committed to keeping them happy, comfortable, and on their normal routine while you're away. I provide care that is tailored to each pet’s needs and routine, whether in my home or in a client’s home. In my client’s home, I focus on keeping pets comfortable by maintaining their normal schedule as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks, playtime, litter box care, and any specific instructions provided. I also make sure pets get plenty of attention, affection, and companionship while their owners are away, along with regular updates for peace of mind. In my own home, pets are cared for in a calm and safe environment. I ensure they are supervised, given a consistent routine, and treated like part of the family. I currently have three cats of my own, so I understand how important it is to create a clean, low-stress space where animals feel secure and cared for.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Woodhaven is $55

Riley was amazing with Churro! He's kind of a nervous little guy but he warmed up to her right away. She took such good care of him, making sure he was getting enough water and of course enough treats! She was super communicative and sent lots of updates. I couldn't recommend her enough!!
Gabe was fantastic! He stayed with my senior pup over Thanksgiving weekend and went above and beyond to keep her comfortable and happy. His communication was excellent—regular photos and detailed updates made it feel like I was right there. My dog clearly adored him. I felt completely at ease the entire time and would 100% trust Gabe with future stays!
Megan is absolutely wonderful! She was very communicative throughout her stay at our home and followed all of our instructions and house rules perfectly. She was so respectful and friendly, and most importantly, she showed our dog so much love and care. We came home to a very happy pup who was clearly well looked after. We would definitely recommend Megan to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and kind to care for their dog!

FAQs for House Sitting - Woodhaven
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Woodhaven on Rover is $46.55 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 1,642 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Woodhaven. 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 Woodhaven 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 Woodhaven 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 Woodhaven 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 Woodhaven. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
