About: I have always been an animal lover and understand that pets are part of the family. I have experience caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I’m a proud dog owner of Aslan, a Chihuahua-Poodle mix, and I know how important it is to provide patience, love, attention, and a safe environment. I’m currently open from Mon- Friday from 10am- 7pm. Whatever your dogs needs I’m there for it. I will be available most of days except the weekends in the morning. I have a fenced yard and I do allow dogs to go on the furniture and bed. I also have extra leashes and blankets if needed.

About: Dogs have always been family to me. When I care for your dog, I treat them with the same patience, respect, and affection that I give my own. I am a dog trainer with experience using positive reinforcement, reading canine body language, and building trust with dogs as individuals. My experience comes from years of hands-on care, training my own dogs, including my service dog, volunteering with rescues and shelters, and learning from every dog I have had the privilege to know. What makes my care different is that I pay attention to the little things. I am someone who notices changes in behavior, possible ear concerns, nail or coat issues, discomfort, or anything unusual that an owner should know about. My goal is not just to supervise your dog, but to truly care for their well-being and communicate with you. I have experience with dogs of many sizes, breeds, and personalities, from small dogs around 4 pounds to large dogs over 90 pounds. I have cared for bully breeds, German Shepherds, Rottweilers, Goldendoodles, Poodles, rescue dogs, senior dogs, and dogs with special medical needs. Caring for my own Golden Retriever with myasthenia gravis and megaesophagus taught me the importance of patience, careful routines, and individualized care. I also have grooming experience, including bathing, brushing, nail trims, ear cleaning, and coat maintenance. I enjoy helping dogs feel comfortable and cared for. When appropriate, I love adding personal touches, such as sending dogs home with a toy or making homemade treats. I always check for allergies and dietary needs first to make sure everything is safe for your dog. I believe dogs need both physical exercise and mental enrichment. Depending on the dog, our day may include walks, fetch, training games, agility activities, puzzle toys, and playtime designed around their personality and energy level. My home is a dog-friendly environment where I focus on safety, comfort, and making dogs feel at home. Since I have a senior service dog, I take introductions seriously and make sure every dog is a good match for my home. My goal is simple: when your dog is with me, I want them to feel loved, understood, and cared for—not just watched. Pet care is an important part of my daily routine. I care for my own dogs in the morning, so I am usually available after 11 AM. Tuesdays and Thursdays are great days for daycare since I am home and able to provide attention, playtime, and companionship. I also take an evening break around 6:30 PM for my dogs’ dinner routine and am usually available again after 8 PM. I am happy to work with each client to find a schedule that fits both their pet’s needs and my availability. My goal is to provide reliable, loving care while making sure every dog feels comfortable and happy. I am a positive reinforcement dog trainer, and I use my knowledge of dog behavior to provide safe, patient, and understanding care. I focus on building trust with each dog by learning their individual personality, comfort level, routines, and needs. Safety is one of my top priorities. I am someone who pays attention to the details and notices changes that may be easy to miss, such as changes in behavior, possible ear concerns, nail issues, skin irritation, coat problems, or anything that seems unusual for that dog. I always communicate with owners if I notice something concerning so we can work together to decide the best care for their pet. I have grooming experience, including bathing, brushing, nail trims, ear cleaning, and coat maintenance. I enjoy helping dogs feel comfortable and cared for, and I understand that regular grooming is an important part of a dog’s overall well-being. I have created a dog-friendly and senior-friendly environment in my home. I have ramps, orthopedic beds, and accommodations to help small dogs, senior dogs, and dogs who may need extra support feel comfortable. I also keep dog first aid supplies available and take safety seriously. I have two furry friends of my own who enjoy keeping other dogs company and providing opportunities for safe play and companionship. Because I have a senior service dog, I take introductions seriously and make sure dogs are a good personality match before daycare or boarding. I also use separate feeding areas and safe separation when needed to help prevent stress and protect each dog’s space. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect your space and leave things the way I found them. I make sure your pet’s routine, comfort, and care are my priority. My goal is to create a safe, positive, and welcoming experience where every dog feels understood, loved, and truly cared for.

About: I’ve cared for puppies, dogs, cats, rats, and guinea pigs in addition to fostering dozens of kittens, especially those needing extra socialization, medical care, or other special support. I currently share my days with a small dog, two cats, and backyard chickens. I’ve also been the go-to pet sitter for friends and family for decades. I love getting to know each animal’s unique personality. Whether your pet wants a brisk walk, playful attention, quiet company, or help taking their medicine, I make sure they’re safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. I’m calm, observant, and love getting to know each animal’s unique personality. Whether your pet wants a brisk walk, playful attention, quiet company, or help taking their medicine, I make sure they’re safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. I specialize in dog walks and drop-in visits for dogs, cats, and small furry animals. Working from home, I have the flexibility to accommodate your pet’s schedule and needs. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family member, and I take that responsibility seriously. I look forward to meeting your pets and adding some extra joy to their day! I am available to visit your pet on weekday mornings and evenings, weekends, and on some holidays. Please reach out with any questions, thank you! I am happy to take care of your cats, dogs, or small animals at your home. I am available to take your dog for safe walks on-leash or spend playtime together in the backyard. Would prefer a meet and greet with your pet where we can discuss your pet's health/medication if applicable, any preferences they have, and specific schedule details.

About: I’ve grown up around cats and dogs my whole life. I make sure to respect the needs of each animal that I am around and only interact with them in ways that they’re comfortable with. I also have experience training dogs and would love to help with that if you’d like. I work from home most days so I have very flexible hours! :) I am a Neuroscience PhD student and can do pretty much all of my work remotely. I am very flexible with hours and will be able to give your pet as much attention as they need ! I can help however you need- I’d be happy to stay overnight if your pet needs it, though I can’t stay 24/7 since I have my own cat to take care of at home. I can take dogs on walks and give them lots of attention and play time. Or if your pet is more reclusive I can just provide some company as we exist in the same room. I’m super flexible!

About: I’ve been a lifelong dog lover and am the proud dog mom of my own Husky–Goldendoodle, Nagi. Caring for her has given me experience with daily walks, exercise, feeding, enrichment, grooming, and understanding different dog personalities and needs. Friends and family have trusted me to care for their pets, and I know how important it is to provide a safe, loving, and consistent routine while owners are away. In my professional career, I manage programs for the State of California, so being dependable, organized, and communicating clearly comes naturally to me. I bring that same level of responsibility and care to every pet I look after. My goal is to make every pet feel comfortable, loved, and cared for while giving owners complete peace of mind. I’m available for morning, afternoon, evenings, weekend, and holiday pet care. I’m happy to provide walks, drop-in visits, and overnight house sitting depending on my schedule. I always keep my calendar updated and only accept bookings that allow me to give your pet the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. Communication is very important to me, and I’ll send regular photo updates throughout each visit. I know pets feel happiest when they can stay in their own familiar environment. I carefully follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, medications (if needed), and any special instructions. I’ll respect your home as if it were my own and make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I provide frequent photo and video updates so you can travel with peace of mind, knowing your furry family member is in caring and reliable hands.

About: I absolutely love All dogs. Completely comfortable will ALL sizes and breeds! Ive had and taken care of dogs my whole life. I have rasied large medium and small dogs so i have experience with many diffrent breeds. Having that experience also has allowed me to work with non neutered/spayed and neutered/spayed. I hate to say it but animals can get in altercations and I have no problem stepping in and seperating the animals. Their safety comes first. I am well versed with fur babies that have separation anxiety and have had quite a few come for day care so I could help with their separation anxiety and ease them of it as well! I know some great training techniques and can help show you how to continue on at home! I am a full time home maker so your best friend will not be lonely! I am capable of playing with all kinds of breeds. Currently i have 2 friendly German shepherds, Obi-wan kenobi who is 10 and princess leia who is 4. I offer house sitting, walks and drop in visits! Since I am a stay at home mom your pups needs will be catered to as if they were my own child! My schedule is wide open and flexible with the exception of the occasional grocery store run! I'm able to exercise, play with, love, and help train your fur baby as needed. Since I have such an open flexible schedule i can care for your baby on their own schedule! If they need walks or socialization and even if they need help with their separation or social anxiety im your gal! I have an extremely flexible schedule as i am a stay at home mom. I can easily mold my schedule the the pups needs and clients expectations. I play with, cuddle, walk and feed pups on their schedule in my home and other homes! I'm respectful of my clients homes and make sure to follow their directions when visiting their pups in their homes. When my clients leave their pups in my care at my hose I make sure to make their dogs feel comfortable and safe in my home!

About: I have loved animals ever since I was young, spending a lot of time taking care of my own, family, and friend’s pets. From high energy play to slow and chill pets I have experienced it all. My personal pet, Luke, is my pride and joy, he loves to play all of the time and even knows sit, stand, follow, high five, and first bump! 🐱 My goal is to make sure your pets feel the love and quality care I make sure to treat my fur baby with. ♥️ I am currently working remotely, thus, I have tons of time to give your pets plenty of love and care! If you need any specifics please let me know, I am willing to work with you and take care of your needs hassle free. I personally have a 7 month old kitten and I believe the care I provide for him highlights the level of care I would provide your pet. While my cat has a very out going and high energy personality, I also love and enjoy pets who are shy or reserved. I can change my care as needed. However, the following is the care I provide my pet. - Litter Box scooping 2x a day - Preparing and Feeding 2x a day - Plenty of Play Time - Training with Treats - Tons of cuddles - Brushing - Teeth brushing daily

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Woodland

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Woodland is $28 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $38 per visit. 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.

As of November 2026, there are 3,956 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Woodland. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Woodland. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.

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 Meet & Greet.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
