“Elizabeth was great! My dog can be a bit of a diva but everything went well and River felt calm around her. I received updates and messages throughout and my house was left very clean!”
“I absolutely cannot say enough wonderful things about Molly! Having Molly staying in my home for 3 nights with Willie allowed me to be worry-free while out of town. Molly has a great personality, she obviously loves dogs, and she is an incredibly responsible house sitter. I came home to a house that was cleaner than when I left it (NOT an expectation at all) and a happy, fulfilled, relaxed Willie. Molly provided many daily updates with fun photos of her walks, playtime, and snuggles with Willie, which gave me even more peace of mind! I would gladly have Molly stay in my home again - any time. And Willie says, “Woof woof! Me too!””
“Nicole was everything I was looking for to take care of my Toby. He is very skittish and it take awhile for him to warm up to anyone. Nicole got right on the floor to get to know him and he was slowly getting close to her. She would send a text if she had questions. I will most definitely hire Nicole again. We really hit it off!”
“Another excellent trip with Elaine watching our reactive pups! She gets that they are super slow to warm up and even worked on some socialization with her new puppy. Excellent!! Thank you! We will book again.”
“As always, Maggie was such a huge help to us when we were out of town for multiple days. She takes great care of our two dogs (they are large senior dogs and require a lot of attention, medications, etc.). She is also a wonderful guest in our home while house sitting. So conscientious and helpful. We are so lucky to have met Maggie!”
“Peggy was amazing with our dogs. She stayed at our place and sent regular updates. She was a wonderful house guest and an even better sitter. We'd love to book with her again.”
About: My family and I have always had pets around, from dogs and cats to hamsters, bunnies and birds, therefore, I have experience in all the care that our furry friends need. Experienced in feeding, cleaning, brushing, washing, walking, medicating, playing, and most important of all, petting. Whether your pet loves playtime, long walks, or just having someone check in and spend time with them, I'm happy to adjust to their needs and routine. Every pet is different, so I focus on following their normal routine and making them feel as comfortable as possible. I make sure they're fed, exercised, have fresh water, and receive plenty of attention based on their personality and needs. Safety is always a priority, and I'll follow any instructions you provide to ensure your pet is happy and well cared for. I'll also send updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands.
“Jade was terrific! Dogs were well cared for and she is great about communicating! She asked questions when information was needed and provided updates while we were away. Highly recommend”
“Emma was such and incredible sitter for our pets. She made it so easy for us to enjoy our vacation without having to worry about our pets. I will most definitely be asking her to pet sit for us again and I highly recommend her.”
“Kayla did a great job dog sitting our three chihuahua mixes. I'm not sure they missed us at all! She sent update reports and photos daily to keep us informed. She was very respectful of our house.”
About: With over 20 years of hands-on experience raising multiple Norwegian Elkhounds, I’ve turned daily dog park visits into a joyful, high-energy ritual. Whether your pup loves a brisk walk, a game of fetch, or simply needs attentive full-time care, I’m here to provide it. From playful puppies to wise senior dogs, I tailor my approach to meet each pet’s unique needs—ensuring comfort, companionship, and peace of mind for you. Regular Off-Leash Dog Parkvisits to these parks: Susan E. Lurton Park - Orono Lake Minnewashta - Excelsior Carver Park Reserve - Victoria Pet care works well for me as I only have part time work with an investment thesis I am writing about. Local to Deephaven and the Lake Minnetonka area for 10+ years. I have a fenced yard and one 9 year old Norwegian Elk Hound who is dog friendly or I am able to dog/house sit at your place. Glad to provide a daily update.
“Christian was so respectful of our senior dog’s quirky behavior and personality. We really appreciated his reaching out to us with videos and feedback while we were away, we had no concerns for his health or safety. Also, Christina was an easy house guest, he left no trace. And, he even helped when the garbage bin had to be rolled out and back from the curb while we were away - we will definitely hire Christian again!”
“Ellie was THE BEST!! We needed someone on pretty short notice and she’s been the best dog sitter we’ve ever had. Lots of updates, left the house in great condition, and is overall so sweet and nice. Will be booking with her again asap!!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Woodland is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Woodland
Abigail watched our dog, Leo, over the weekend and did a fantastic job. She checked in frequently, kept us updated, and made sure Leo got plenty of attention, including several walks and quality time throughout her stay. From the very first time she met Leo, it was clear she genuinely cared about him and showed both compassion and patience. We felt comfortable knowing he was in good hands, and we appreciated the consistent communication while we were away. We would gladly have Abigail watch Leo again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.
How fortunate was I to find Teresa. She provided all the TLC for my pups they needed and more. One dog has special medical needs and she handled them perfectly. I could tell from the photos she sent me that my pups were content and responded to her in ways only I would understand. Book Teresa and you will have assurance and peace of mind.
Deborah stayed with our almost 14 year old dog for two weeks. She was a great communicator, asked questions when needed, and sent daily photos. She kept a consistent routine including administering medication and two walks a day. What a relief to know that Dandy was well cared for while we were away for so long!
Delanie was a fantastic dog sitter for our puppies! They warmed up to her quickly and got lots of walks, which they love. Delanie was communicative and followed the schedule we left her, which was much appreciated! We’d absolutely welcome Delanie back into our home to watch the pups again!

The average cost of House Sitting in Woodland is $56 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $36 and $100 per night.

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 Woodland 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 Woodland 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 Woodland 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.

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.
