Top rated Woodlake house sitters
“Angela was amazing and came up clutch for us. It was a 1 day notice as our sitter fell through, and she was at my house meeting us and the doggos in a few hours. She took pics of the dogs and kept us updated. She'll be the only one I could tact in the future.”
“Cera is truly amazing. She met with me and my cat, Bish, before confirming the booking to ensure everyone was on the same page. I received regular text and pic updates throughout my trip away. She’s a vet assistant, which meant that she managed to give my cat his medicine—this is not an easy task with my cat! She did more than stop in and make sure Bish was fed. She spent a lot of time keeping him engaged (playing, working on his tricks, etc.) and happy. 20/10”
“Evelyn was AMAZING. She took such good care of my Shiloh guy. She sent me so many pictures and videos and was so reliable and responsive. And the pictures she sent me of Shiloh I knew he felt loved and comfortable 🥹 she will definitely be my go to!!!”
“Delishia is so so incredible and caring. She stayed at my house and provided care for my two dogs, one of which was extremely fearful of strangers. She was patient with him, and got him to open up to her by the end of our trip. I HIGHLY recommend her if you are going on a trip and have any pets that need taking care of. She goes above and beyond, while I was out of town, a board in my fence broke and she went to the store to repair it without being asked. So so so incredible I hope you choose her if able!!”
About: I have a lifelong passion for animals and grew up surrounded by dogs, which taught me the responsibility and patience required to be a great caregiver. My experience ranges from energetic small breeds to powerful large dogs, so I am comfortable and confident handling pets of all sizes. I also have a soft spot for senior dogs and understand the gentle touch and extra attention they often need to feel safe and comfortable. Whether your pet needs a high-energy walk to burn off steam or a calm presence to sit and play with them at home, I prioritize their safety and happiness above all else. I pride myself on being reliable and attentive to each dog’s unique personality and routine. I’m excited to provide your pets with the same love and care I’ve given my own throughout my life! I have a very pet-friendly schedule! I work from home every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, which allows me to provide your pet with constant companionship and potty breaks throughout the day. While I am typically in the office on Mondays and Fridays, I have the flexibility to work from home on those days as well with a little bit of notice. Your pet will rarely be alone. Because I don’t currently have pets of my own, your pet becomes my sole priority and receives my 100% undivided attention. In your home, I focus on maintaining their established routine to keep them stress-free. Whether it’s high-energy walks and active play or simply hanging out in their space to provide a calm presence, I adapt to their vibe. I’m happy to offer a 'hands-on' approach for cuddlers or a hands-off approach for more independent pets, and I am always flexible with special accommodations to ensure they feel safe and cared for.
“Amazing! I’m so appreciative of Rebecca’s care that she gave my Rocco. He was in the best hands and honestly I think he misses her more than he did me! I will definitely be recommending her and booking again with her!”
“Nichole is amazing!! She took such great care of my boys. My little guy Rambo is so shy and when he first met her, he went right up to her for pets!! She is a dog whisperer. I will definitely be a repeat customer!!”
“We once again had an amazing vacation not neesih to worry about the house or our beloved pets! Alexis goes over and beyond! And we have already booked another date!”
“Leandra took such good care of our two cats! I was so happy to see pictures and videos of our cats getting all the cuddles they wanted over the three weeks she was with them. We were able to enjoy our holiday knowing the cats were getting excellent and thoughtful care. ❤️”
“Laura is my go to sitter. She does a wonderful job and my pets like her. She is really communicative and follows the directions I lay for her. I would recommend her and will definitely book her again! 😊”
About: With over 25 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds and temperaments, I bring unmatched dedication and attentiveness to every pup I meet. I’m incredibly patient, playful, and tuned in to each pet’s unique needs—whether they need extra cuddles, structured training, or a full day of fetch and fun. I’m also skilled in basic dog training and grooming, including bathing, so your furry friend will be both happy and well cared for. When your dog is with me, they’re family! I offer open availability every day of the week—including weekends and holidays—because I know pet care doesn’t take days off. Whether you need a last-minute sitter, holiday help, or consistent daily care, I’m here and ready to provide reliable, loving support for your pup whenever you need it. Your dog’s comfort and routine are my top priorities, no matter the day or season. Your pet’s safety is always my top priority. I closely follow each dog’s routine, dietary needs, and behavioral cues to ensure they feel secure and cared for at all times. Whether we’re out for a walk or relaxing at home, I maintain a calm, controlled environment and never take risks with unfamiliar dogs or surroundings. I’m experienced in handling emergency situations and always keep a close eye on your pet’s well-being—because peace of mind for you means happy, healthy pups in my care.
“Jasmine was an excellent communicator and gave me plenty of updates regarding my pups. She was very responsive and willing to accommodate the needs of my dogs. I totally recommend her and will absolutely use her again in the future.”
“Olivia was so amazing! Seniors last minute to help me out with my dogs. She asked for a meet and greet first which was lovely. She took her time to get to know my dogs and spend good quality time with them; they really enjoyed their time with her!”
About: I grew up on a farm caring for a variety of animals. I currently have 3 dogs and 2 cats of my own as well as a tortoise and lots of fish! I have experience pet sitting for family and friends and neighbors. I am able to care for babies as well as seniors. I'm not certified but I've trained my own pets along with my family's pets. I am currently a grad student and work part-time, I am available to work all day Monday, mornings before 9am Tuesday-Friday and evenings after 4:30pm. Sometimes my school schedule may change but I'm always going to communicate changes to my schedule! Weekends are available if needed. I have a system with my babies, they eat twice a day in the morning and evening. I usually let them run outback and they play with the dogs on either side of my house. One cat likes to go outside occasionally, but otherwise they stay with me and I'll play with them while I do schoolwork or relax. I love taking my dogs on walks and playing with them as well.
“Good service: Good communication and promptness, excellent rates, and my dog seemed pleased. I’ll definitely use Soraya again if needed in that area (probably in 2 months from now).”
Woodlake pet parents share their Rover experiences
Cera is the best dog sitter we’ve found anywhere! She communicates very well and sends updates often! I think she went to the house 4 times a day for roughly an hour each, she played fetch with them, I’m sure she loved on them. We’ve already hired her for our next trip!
This was the first time that I book with Rover and Megan set the bar high! She was incredible with my senior dog, Gailey. She managed her daily walks and her medications faithfully. Her communication and pictures throughout the week were so appreciated. Megan, thank you so much for all the good care and love you gave my Gailey. It gave me peace of mind, knowing she was well cared for. I came home to a happy dog and a super clean house! I would highly recommend Megan to anyone looking for a sitter.
Valentina was amazing with our five dogs. She kept in touch the whole time and sent updates that actually made me feel relaxed. When I got home the dogs barely cared that I walked in, which tells you everything. They were happy, calm, and clearly loved. I’d book her again without hesitation.
Everything went great! I chose boarding in my home for my 1 dog and 2 cats. My husband and I had to go out of town for 3 days and we’re so happy to have found Samantha! She followed instructions, sent us plenty of photos, and gave love and attention to all of our animals so they didn’t get lonely! She gave us peace of mind, we will be repeat clients from here on out!
Juilanna did great with all of our pups and they loved her! Communication was great throughout the whole visit and she included plenty of pictures to keep us updated. She did an excellent job of making sure all of our pups needs were met especially for our biggest boy who was recently sick with pneumonia! She followed the rules given and kept the house clean, no issues. She was great! We will definitely be reaching out for future visits!
Brittney- she did a great job taking care of our dogs, even with my more difficult rescue who is sometimes shy and likes to hide from people. I highly recommend her. She showed up on time and communicated with me during her stay. I felt safe having her in my home and trusted her.
Gabriella was super sweet and attentive to our dogs all weekend. We were out of town for a convention and she provided us with pictures and updates all while being extremely flexible. I've never had an in-home sitter but Gabriella was super professional and really eased any worries I may have had over the weekend away. I hope to have her keep visiting in the future! :)
