“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.”
“Our dog and cat loved Sara. She was very communicative with us and sent lots of pictures. She was very responsible and asked questions if she had any concerns. She also left the house clean and neat. Would definitely recommend her.”
“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!”
“Sanna was an awesome house sitter. The dogs loved her and she sent a ton of pictures throughout the days of how the dogs are doing. The house was in one piece when we returned and we do plan on using her the next time we are out of town. Highly recommended to anyone who wants happy pups!”
“Kori did such a great job taking care of the dogs! They were well fed and happily loved while we were away. Kori was extremely respectful of our home, and even helped clean the place while we were away! we will certainly be using her services again!!”
“Kelly was amazing with Chessie! She was super communicative throughout the stay, sent updates and photos, and clearly took great care of her. I could tell Chessie was happy and comfortable. She even treated her to a pup cup which was such a sweet touch 🥹 Highly recommend Kelly to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!”
“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.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and have pet sat for family, friends, and neighbors since I was a kid! I fostered a sweet pittie mix for a few months while I was in college as well. I work part-time a restaurant, so the rest of my days are pretty open! I work shifts that are less than 8 hours so I can play with and check on your pet before/after. I will be a grad student starting next month as well, but only will have class two days a week. I have a car and am happy to drive to your home! I am happy to feed, play with, and crate pets in your home! I am happy to follow any routine/guidelines to best serve you and your pet!
“Lauren was great! Not only she took care of my pup but she also took care of my place as if it was her own. I got constant updates on how my dog was doing and I can tell she enjoyed her time. Definitely recommend!”
About: I've been caring for dogs and cats for the last 4 years. With cats, I’m well experienced in doing the regular tasks of maintaining cleanliness of their spaces while ensuring they have enough food and water, as well as distributing heart medications orally. With dogs, I have provided both dropping in for walks as needed and weekend-long house sitting. I'm adaptable and easy-going, ready to provide care for your pet's specific needs. I'm currently working full-time Monday-Thursday, so I have weekend pet sitting or drop-in availability. I can also do weeknight drop-ins. I follow the guidelines set by the owner in terms of how to best care for their pet within their home. I also make it a point to send updates on how your pet is doing and what they're up to, specifically for multi-day pet sitting.
“Bryan took such good care of my Sunshine. Kept me updated often and cared for her special needs after surgery with medication & care. I didn’t have to worry about a thing. Thank you”
“I can not recommend Oscar highly enough. He did such a great job staying with Finn. Super attentive to details and great at providing photos and updates. Plus my apartment looked better than when I left!! I will definitely book him again.”
About: I have always had a home full of fur babies. Cats & Dogs mostly rescued. I currently have a senior dog, she will be 17 in December! I love animals and have been taking care of them for as long as I remember. I am reliable, responsible and very good at communicating and always provide daily updates with pictures. I am semi-retired and have a shop on Etsy and TPT. My schedule is very flexible. I look forward to caring for your fur baby. I will treat your pet like they are my own, with love and respect. Consistency is key. I can't wait to meet your fur baby and shower them with love!
About: I love helping people take care of their pets because I understand how stressful it can be leaving them alone. Whether it’s evening walks, or weekend stays, I may be the person who can help soothe your pets peace of mind while you are away! I am available for weekday evening check-ins or walks. On weekends, I am available all day! For overnight stays, I would have go into work during the day, weekdays 8am-4pm. When I’m in your home, I will leave no trace! Your pet and I will keep clean and tidy, by any means necessary. Trust me when I say, I’ve seen it all, and I can handle anything! I will also keep your property safe to the best of my ability by always locking doors, identifying any potential issues before they arise, leaving lights on, securing packages, etc. I keep safety top of mind always, and while you’re my client you are VIP!
About: With several years of professional home and rental cleaning experience, I understand how important it is to respect someone’s home while they’re away. I always make it a priority to keep your space tidy and leave your home just as clean—or cleaner—than I found it. You can leave town, your animals will be taken care of, I’ll communicate with you, your house is safe, and you’re not coming home to a mess. I am new to the Charleston area but currently a Law School student at CSOL. I have a car and am located right downtown Charleston with quick access to the highways. I have no issues crating animals or following safety instructions and being respectful of other people’s homes and pets. I am very good with written instructions and last minute drop ins. I have 4 years of House and Rental cleaning experience on my resume and would be happy to add cleaning/organizing to your services at an additional $30 an hour
About: I’ve had family dogs almost my entire life. When my latest girl, Jaina, passed after 14 years together, I shifted to pet sitting rather than full-time ownership. My friends, neighbors and roommates can always rely on me to watch their pups whenever they have work or travel plans! I currently live with a beautiful Doberman and am his primary care giver when my roommate travels for business. Our favorite activity is an adventure to Folly Beach where we walk, look at the ocean, and visit the dog friendly restaurants for his doggie-menu treats & pup cups. I’m also a Gold Star Rated Uber Driver that allows riders to bring their animals with them on trips. I attend church in downtown Charleston every Sunday so my Sundays are reserved for me. For extended (week+), I am willing to have a discussion to fulfill needs on that day. I also work as a freelance/contract bartender. While I have no set schedule, days that I accept those gigs will likely result in an 8-10 hours stretch where I would be away from sitting. Give me a shout and I look forward to meeting you and your pups! I work part time as a bartender and with special events but on a contract/freelance basis. I’m also a Gold Star Rated Uber driver with an active setting that allows riders to travel with their animals. I attend church on Sundays so I tend to leave that day free for myself. I make my own schedule which allows for a lot of flexibility. I care for my roommate’s Doberman when he travels for business. We go on walks, to the park, the beach and play in the backyard. I give him his meds twice a day. His water is in a fountain bowl and his food dispenser on a timer. I refill as needed. He is an Alpha so I won’t be offering to watch other animals in my home. But I look forward to traveling to you!
“Whitney was INCREDIBLE to work with and the perfect person to watch our 2 pups! She was avail with short notice, great communication and instantly made us feel confident that we found the best of the best. She treated our boys as if they were her own so we knew they were well taken care of while we were out. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Woodhaven
Our 8 year old Lab had a great time with Rachel during her 4 night stay at our house! She took him on morning and evening walks just as we had requested and Rachel was sure to send plenty of pictures of their time together. We will definitely be reaching out to her again in the future.
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.
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.
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 $46.62 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 1,602 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.

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.
