“We have three high maintenance dogs and Elizabeth did a great job taking care of them while we were gone for several days. She was tidy, great at communicating, and followed our rules and schedule as requested. When we got home they all seemed completely happy and normal, which is exactly what we hoped for! Thanks Elizabeth!”
“Samantha sent great updates and took good care of our fur friends while we were out of town. She took care in our home, as well. We will definitely request her services again.”
“I definitely will be using Catarina again for any future bookings I need for Penny! She was caring, patient, and understanding with Penny. My dog tends to have behaviors and Catarina did such an amazing job communicating with me and giving me helpful tips! Thank you so much for treating Penny like she was your own!”
“Maggie is outstanding!! She stayed with our Pit bull and two cats who were happy and content when we returned home?. Maggie took great care, and updated us with photos and comments about how our pets were doing, which we loved!”
About: My pet experience ranges from helping raising our 3 Rottweiler puppies growing up, to cats, guinea pigs, hermit crabs and more! Now with years of experience under my belt, I can proudly say I’ve helped with senior cats and dogs, all the way down to a 6 month old Chow Chow puppy! With training a rescue puppy of my own, you can garuntee your pet will be in safe hands! I’m currently working part time, and can block off my schedule as needed when I’m not seeing clients, so I’ll have plenty of time to give your pets some love! I very easily and thoroughly follow directions, with great attention to detail. This way, your pet can feel right at home, even while you’re away. If your pup loves dog friends, I have a 1 year old Shih Tzu mix who can hang with us :) Otherwise, I will give your pet all the one on one love they need!
“Ashley was an excellent house/dog sitter! Our pup was clearly well taken care of, she spent lots of time playing and walking him. We appreciated the routine updates and she left the house clean and secured. Glad to know we can work with her again!”
“We couldn't have asked for a more loving, responsible individual for Opie. Emma provided overnight house sitting and care for our boy and our home. We were incredibly grateful to have found her and will definitely ask her again when we need a companion and sitter.”
“Justin was amazing with our animals! They really took to him right away, even our dog who doesn't like strangers. He sent pictures with them and they were all safe and happy. He was respectful of our home and accommodating to unexpected changes in our schedule. We will definitely be reaching out to him in the future. You made a very hard first time away from our puppy a care-free experience, which we would have never expected. Thank you!”
“Erin stayed with our golden retriever, Harvey, for two weekends in the past month. We’ve never used rover before and we were a little nervous, but Erin was so great with him and sent us lots of updates. She also was very thoughtful of our space! (I.e washing the sheets and towels, making the bed, running the dishwasher, leaving the space clean). Would definitely recommend!”
“Biiftuu was an excellent dog sitter. She clearly took good care of my little Aussie poo. She sent good pictures and left the house in excellent shape. I would hire her again.”
About: I have 15 years of experience caring for dogs and cats, from quick drop-in visits and playtime to extended stays with overnight pet sitting. I grew up with my parents’ dogs and have always had a love for animals. I spent two weeks in California caring for a Golden Retriever. I have experience with multiple overnight stays, caring for 1–5 pets at a time. I understand that every pet has unique needs and routines, and I make sure they receive plenty of love and care. I’m reliable, attentive, and committed to keeping your pets safe, happy, and comfortable while providing updates and peace of mind while you’re away! I work from home so am available to work from anywhere. I love going on walks and can easily make that a part of a routine while caring for your animals. I am able to come over and watch your pets! I am used to various environments while pet-sitting. I am also available for walks and check-ins to make sure your pets feel taken care of.
About: I have either lived or worked with animals from as young as I can remember. Growing up we had an abundance of different animals such as cats, dogs, fish, hamsters, and more. Since being out on my own I have raised two puppies and a kitten and adopted a cat as well. I trained both puppies myself and am also familiar with caring for senior animals as well as giving medications and caring for animals that may have health issues or sensitivities. I volunteered at cat shelters all throughout college and worked in pet stores for multiple years so I come equipped with lot's of knowledge on feeding, walking, bathing, cleaning up after, and caring for pets. I have watched over many friends and family’s pets over the years and I treat all animals with the same love, respect, and care that I give to my own. I have plenty of time and flexibility to help care and play with your pets throughout the week! I have the most availability in the mornings through the afternoons but can be flexible for evenings if needed! Both weekdays and weekends work for me. I am comfortable following your preference on how you like to keep your pet safe in your home. If I see anything concerning I will always communicate this but my main goal is keeping your pet safe and healthy in the ways that you feel most comfortable with.I know every animal may be treated differently and my top priority is to care for them while also following their normal routine as much as possible.

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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
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. 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 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 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 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.
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
- 94% 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.
