“Ty and Charlie came for a meet and greet and were timely and pleasant. Martin accepted them right away. I did not see them on sitting day but they arrived in time to care for Marty and he was fed and happy upon our return.”
“Natalie took great care of our dog while we were away. I had some concerns leaving our dog with a stranger for the first time because he can be protective of his home. Natalie made the time to come meet our pup at a neutral spot and then headed to the home so he could get use to her in his environment. The meet and greet went well and our dog was excited to see her when she came to stay overnight. Natalie was very quick when returning my texts and calls. She took great care of our pup while we were away and we will use her again in the future.”
“Clara was a joy to have in my home. She clearly loves animals and was always very prompt and communicated very clearly, sent me sweet pictures of my loveable, albeit large, german shepherd. She is great and would highly recommend her!”
“Five stars is not enough for the incredible care our two fur babies received from Catherine K.! From start to finish, Catherine was exceptionally professional and made the entire experience completely stress-free. Her communication was outstanding, providing us with regular updates and wonderful photos that kept our minds at total ease while we were away. It was clear from the moment she took over that our cats were in safe, highly capable, and loving hands. Catherine went above and beyond to maintain their daily routines and allowed them their space to become comfortable with her. If you want absolute peace of mind and a sitter who treats your pets like family, look no further than Catherine K. We will absolutely be booking her again!”
“Michael was absolutely amazing with our sweet big boy for 10 days while we were out of town. Our guy has newly started having seizures and while we hoped he wouldn’t have one while we were gone he ended up having 4. Michael was not experienced beforehand with sitting with dogs who have seizures but made sure to ask all the questions before hand to make sure he knew what to do. And thankfully he did. He even ended up giving our guy a rectal suppository after the regular medications were not working sufficiently and stayed with him until we were home to ensure a safe handoff. To top it off he also checked in with us later to see how Moko was doing. We could not recommend him more. Thank you again Michael!”
“Angelica did a fabulous job watching my Aussidoddle and my Sheltie. Would highly recommend her for house sitting She watched my babies for a week while we were on vacation and sent us a bunch of pictures.”
“I cannot recommend Nicole highly enough as a pet sitter! We had originally planned for her to care for our elderly dog, who sadly crossed the rainbow bridge before our trip. Nicole was incredibly understanding and compassionate during this difficult time. We have a new pup, Tita, and Nicole stepped in to house sit and take care of both Tita and our parrot, Frida. She kept us updated throughout our trip, which gave us peace of mind. When we returned, the house was exactly as we left it, and she even went the extra mile by picking up our mail! We truly appreciate Nicole’s dedication and care for our pets. Knowing we can trust her to look after Tita and Frida when we go on long trips is such a relief. Thank you, Nicole, for being so wonderful!”
About: Hi there! I've been pet sitting for 8 years and I genuinely love it. I've looked after dogs and cats of all sizes and personalities, so I'm happy to work with whatever your pet needs. I've also spent 6 years in the veterinary field, including my current job at a vet office! I work from home, so I have lots of free time to give your pet extra attention. I'm also comfortable giving medications to dogs and handling the little curveballs that come up. I'm studying to become a vet tech, and I put that same care into every pet I watch. Your fur baby will get lots of attention, love, and cuddles while you're away! I recently switched to working from home, and I take my classes online on my own schedule, so my days are super flexible. I'm home most of the day, which means your pet won't be left alone for long stretches. I'm happy to do walks, potty breaks, playtime, and check-ins, and I can stick to any feeding or medication routine your pet needs. Pet care fits right into my day, so nothing ever feels rushed! Your home, your rules! I'll follow your pet's routine and give them all the pets, cuddles, and love they'd get from you. You'll get photo/video updates while you're away, so you can relax knowing they're in good hands.
“Lexi took outstanding care of all 5 of our cats - we have a complex feeding routine and medication schedule and she did great managing both! Will definitely book with her again :)”
“Cathy was amazing with our Fair Lady Belle. Cathy had a sweet manner when dealing our three year old Bolo and spent lots of walking and playing time. When Cathy left Belle sat in her window and cried. That was all we needed to see. It was obvious that they had formed a bond. Thank you Cathy for taking such good care of our “baby”. We wil be excited for your next visit and Belle agrees.”
“Shaun did an amazing job! He followed all of our directions, kept us updated, and took great care of Lex while we were away. Lex was very happy, comfortable, and clearly well cared for when we got home. We really appreciated the attention and care he gave our dog and home. We would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!”
“Deborah took such great care of my babies. She sent an update and photos every morning and throughout each day. She was always available if I needed to reach her, and I know that my dog and my car were in the best possible hands. I am so glad that we found her!!”
About: I’m new to rover but a lifelong pet care provider. I’ve primarily cared for dogs and cats. I’ve some experience with exotics like birds and reptiles as well. I’ve cared for and raised dogs and cats from puppies/kittens to geriatrics and their many potential extra care needs. I pride myself on bringing a balance of experience and calm but engaging energy for all pets. I have experience caring for dogs as small as 7lbs and as large as 90lbs. I’ve provided care for multi-pet and multi-species homes. I pride myself on being the most popular person at the dog park (with dogs, I’m not there for the people). I’m happy to provide additional care to animals that need it for medical or non-medical reasons. Every person and every pet has their own personality and quirks, so I’m happy to learn and provide the highest quality care that I can. I’m currently open to pet care across many times and days. So if you need a recurring or spontaneous pet care, I am happy to work with you. I am experienced with crate training and can crate your dogs if needed. Every home has different dynamics and rules that I want to respect and make your pets experience with me as comfortable and fun as possible. If you have any special requirements, safety concerns, or additional accommodations, then I am always happy to work with pets and their owners for the best possible situation.
About: Hi! I’m Sharyll, a passionate animal lover with years of experience caring for dogs and cats. Back in Nicaragua, I volunteered at Lucito Shelter, where I helped rescue, feed, and care for animals in need — an experience that taught me patience, empathy, and the importance of earning every pet’s trust. Currently, I work at PetSuites, where I care for pets of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I handle feedings, playtime, walks, and comfort for both dogs and cats every day. What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and my professional experience in a structured pet care environment. Whether your pet needs active playtime, gentle walks, or calm companionship, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for — just like at home. ❤️ I’m available 2–3 days a week and on weekends. My schedule is flexible, so I can adjust depending on your needs — whether it’s daily walks, weekend care, or occasional visits. I always prioritize safety and comfort. I take time to understand each pet’s routine, feeding schedule, and any special needs before starting. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully and keep communication open with regular updates and photos. I make sure doors and gates are secure during visits, use leashes properly for walks, and keep pets supervised at all times. My goal is to create a calm, positive environment so your pet feels safe, loved, and cared for — just like when you’re home. ❤️
“Hailey was fantastic! She loved on my fur babies like they were her own and did exactly as I asked. She was sweet, kind, and professional. She sent me videos and pictures of how they were doing which really helped me feel comfortable being so far away! I will definitely be using Hailey again!!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Woodhaven
Our pet sitter Lorelai was absolutely wonderful with our pets, especially our German Shepherd, who can be a bit difficult on walks and barks at new people in the house or even people passing by outside. She handled everything with patience, confidence, and genuine care. It’s clear she understands animal behavior and knows how to build trust with pets who need a little extra reassurance. We felt comfortable knowing our pets were in great hands
Sandy was the perfect fit for our house/pup sitting needs. Our two pups loved & trusted her immediately. She was kind enough to set up a meet & greet beforehand and was sure to provide consistent pics/communication throughout the stay. 10/10 recommend! Will be using her again for sure!
We had a great experience with Skyler and highly recommend her services. From the initial contact, Skyler was responsive and prompt. While we were gone, we received daily updates and lots of pictures and it was obvious our pets (2 dogs, 3 bunnies and a fish) were getting a lot of love and attention. At one point during the trip, I realized we forgot to put a vacation feeder in the fish tank and I reached out to Skyler who not only fed the fish, but sent us a video to assure us he was alive and well. The next time we need someone to watch Ruby, Lucy, Peaches, Penny, Arnold, & Todd, we will definitely reach out to Skyler.

FAQs for House Sitting - Woodhaven
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Woodhaven on Rover is $62.94 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 8,275 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:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% 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.
