“Maria is the best! She house sat Christian while I was away on a trip for a week. She attended to him & his special needs while providing updates. Videos, and photos. Not only was Christian well taken care of but upon returning my home was nice & clean how I left it! Highly Highly Recommend”
About: I grew up with many pets, and I've had a love for animals from the start. I have been walking dogs/pet sitting for over 10 years now. I have also worked at a doggy daycare and a pet salon, bathing dogs. I've cared for all kinds of dogs: old and young, big and small, energetic and mellow, and I love them all. I'm excited to meet your precious pups! I'm currently working part-time as a pet transport driver, so I have lots of free time right now to care for your pets! When I'm not on the road I am available any day of the week. I cannot currently watch pets at my house but I would be more than happy to come over and watch them at theirs where they would be most comfortable.

“Perfect! Our sweet fur babies were cared for so wonderfully, Yi sent many updates and pictures of our 3 boys and they seemed to enjoy her company as well. This was our first time using rover and we were so glad with who we allowed in our home and around our fur babies!!”
About: Ive always had dogs since I’ve been little, and when I was a younger teen I took care of an elderly woman’s dog to help her out ( on walks, helping to feed her dog and bathe her etc ) for a few years, which I loved. I have never owned a cat but I have cared for my cousins cats and strays since I was little as well. I’m currently working part time as well as doing some babysitting jobs here and there so I would be very available for pet care as long as I have notice. I have a fenced yard, I do have a 10 yr old male dog who is neutered and a big baby ! And a big neighborhood for walks
“Lindsey sent lots of pictures and was great about working with my very needy dogs! One loves to sleep with a person at night for snuggles and the other is very timid, she did great with both and sent lots of pictures and updates. Will book again!”
“Having Fallin sit with our 8 week old puppy was a relief. She kept us updated regularly and took so much time with us. She came for a meet and greet before being booked which I appreciated very much. My 18 year old is very anxious about their fur babies and Fallin helped alleviate that anxiety! We will definitely hire her again!”
About: I want your pet to feel like it’s another home when they have to leave theirs! There’s always at least one person at home so they’ll never be by themselves, also available any holiday you need me to watch your pet. I love all dogs, will take them fork walks and can also administer medication if needed I work from home so I will be home at all times so it’s really their schedule that’s I’m working with just tell me their schedule I can dog sit, dog board, dog walk. I live in a 2 story home so they have more than enough room. I also have a playpen if you prefer

I’m patient with puppies and gentle with senior dogs. I pay close attention to behavior, routines, and safety so your pet feels comfortable and cared for like family. I have a flexible daily routine and plan my day around pet care. I’m available mornings, afternoons, and evenings for walks, feeding, and checkins. I keep a consistent routine so pets feel comfortable and secure. I can also adjust my schedule for special needs, longer stays, or last minute bookings. Safety is my top priority. I keep a clean, calm environment and always supervise pets. I follow your pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, and any medications. I’m attentive to behavior and signs of stress. I can crate if needed and make sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure at all times.
“So happy we found Zulema! This was our first time leaving out little boy with a sitter and Zulema made all of us feel at ease about it, came for a meet and greet before and the day of sitting went smooth and she kept a great company to our Skip. She is very kind, calm and friendly and we felt Skip was so comfortable around her and coming home to see him just chilled was everything. Hundred percent recommended and we'd definitely reach out again from now on! Big thank you from all of us!:)”
“Natalie was absolutely amazing with our fur-babies! Very communicative and listened to everything! The animals were happy and well-fed! We are so very appreciative and will definitely rebook!”
About: I have 4 dogs of my own, ranging from 2 - 10. I have been dog sitting them since the day we got them 10 years ago, but have started dog sitting alone 5 years ago. They are all 50+ pounds and a bit crazy at times but that has never changed how cute and loving they are. I would love to sit your dog(s) and will do it with a joyful spirit! I’m currently working from home, and traveling for an event company to put on events. I have limited availability but when I am in town, I’m free for any services you may need! I can’t care for pets in my own home due to our rental contract, however I will care for pets in your home as well as you normally would! I find that pets feel more comfortable being taken care of in their own home and it (hopefully) creates less stress for the owners! I will treat your home with love, care, and respect, the same way that you would!
“Avamarie was absolutely incredible with my girl Nala! She was so patient and cared so much about ensuring my pup felt safe and loved. I will absolutely be booking her again and would recommend her to anyone! She was super communicative and I loved all the pictures she sent! She will truly love your pup like her own!!!”
“We can’t say enough good things about Charlotte! She watched our dog Ollie while we were out of town for a few days and we have never felt more comfortable leaving him with anyone else. Charlotte sent pictures and updates each day and was easy to communicate with. We could tell Ollie felt very comfortable with her and it made our trip that much better knowing he was well taken care of. On top of that, she took such good care of our home and left everything better than she found it. We already have her booked again for our next trip!”
About: Hello! My name is Donna and my experience with dogs started at a very young age. My family bred and trained show dogs and i was the primary care taker! I’m a HUGE CAT person but i do love dogs as well. I’m energetic and keep your fury babe intrigued and well taken care of while you go out and explore the world. I do have a dog of my own she is a beauty! Her name is Kuma and she gets along with EVERYTHING! She’s excited to meet some new friends and have plenty of sleepovers! My husband and I are both active duty military so that should put your worries at ease, we are good people, and we love to help when possible. I am currently a full time student. I commit about 20 hours a week to school but the remainder of that time I use to fulfill myself and spend some time looking for new hobbies and volunteering my time with planned pethood and (soon) will be looking forward to being a short term furry foster mom to injured or sick pets needing new homes. I live in an apartment, no yard. So all outside exercise will be leashed activities unless we go to the dog park (with parents permission). The winter/fall season is my hiking season so with permission some fortunate pups will be my hiking buddies.
“Lydia did a really fantastic job with our elderly dog as well as the house sitting. She was super responsive in all of her communication. I will definitely be booking Lydia again in the future.”
“First time using Patty and my boys couldn’t be happier which makes me a super happy mom. She was super attentive and even sent super cute pics. I scheduled her immediately for my next trip. Couldn’t recommend more!!!!!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Woodhaven Downs
It was my first time leaving my cat for a vacation. Ashley listened to my requests and responded promptly. Her updates were always top tier. She and her son tag teamed at nights to make sure my cat would have a good time (plenty of playing time) and not feel lonely. Her bowls were kept hygienic and water replenished as needed. Glad I found her to look after my cat!
Very happy with Stefan's second time sitting for Rosie! He caters to Rosie's quirks and we come home to a happy dog. He was kind enough to also grab the mail and water my flowers while we were away. House was in good shape. Will definitely have Stefan sit again!
Brenda was amazing! We just recently moved to the area and had to make a trip back to our hometown in NJ. We were very anxious trusting a brand new person in a brand new state! But Brenda gave us all the comfort we needed! She sent updated photos and videos of Nutella and checked in with us often. Nutella can be a handful with her anxiety and hiding from fireworks/thunderstorms and Brenda handled her so well! We could really tell because Nutella was happy go lucky when we arrived home. (Normally she’s hiding in a corner mad at us for leaving) But with Brenda, she was feeling her best. We would absolutely book her again and again!
We love having Yoli come stay at our home to take care of our dog. She is conscientious and leaves our home in better condition than we left it. And best of all, she loves our dog like her own (and our dog LOVES her). I recommend Yoli to everyone! I will always ask her first if she is available.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Woodhaven Downs is $44 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $36 and $62 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.

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 Downs 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 Downs 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 Downs 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.
