“Debbie was wonderful with our three dogs. We were sent frequent pictures and updates. The house was left in great shape. She had washed the dog bowls and water dishes and her sheets and towels from staying over. I will definitely use her again.”
“Yelitza was a top-notch, superb dog sitter through and through! She is a lovely person and took such great care of our doggies and home. Our pups loved her, and she sent frequent lovely updates. Highly recommended!”
“John did a fantastic job watching our lively golden retriever, Ranger. He took him for outings and fun things other than just walks. John stayed in our home and was respectful and treated it as if it were his own! I highly recommend John for any pet care.”
“Chantal did a wonderful job watching Luna while I was away! She was very responsive, provided me plenty of updates, and left my apartment in great condition. I would definitely recommend her!!”
“Alyssa did a wonderful job with Chicken!! -- especially given her special needs. I appreciate the communication and pictures/videos that Alyssa sent. Given that Chicken is an older cat and has some vision issues, it was nice to know that she was well taken care of. Thank you Alyssa!!!”
About: Hello! Thank you for checking out my profile! I am a young adult who loves animals! I just recently started a job at a local animal hospital! I live on a farm with plenty of space for your dogs, and a big house for your cats! My go to activity is taking walks. I have had animals all my life and have a very big range of knowledge with them! I also feel comfortable with coming to you house and watching your loved ones! Feel free to message me to see how I can help you! I am currently working part time at a small vet hospital, but always have time to take your dog out or make sure your loved one has plenty of food and water! I have a big dog park in my area, I also love going on walks. My house is pretty big and will offer your dog a lot of room as they are a part of house and can go and roam as much as they would like!
About: Tell your dog I said hi!!! I have taken care of pets since I was 10. My family and friends rely on me regularly to keep their homes and animals safe! I unfortunately can't have pets at my apartment but dog sitting is a way to get my pet snuggles in! You'll receive cute pet pictures if you want as well! I would come to your home and meet your pets first and familiarize their routine with you before you leave. Very open with communication for your needs.
About: I have 5 years of pet care experience and truly enjoy spending time with dogs. I have cared for dogs for family, friends, and neighbors, including walking, feeding, playing, giving fresh water, cleaning up after them, and keeping them comfortable while their owners are away. I am patient, gentle, and responsible, and I always try to follow each pet parent’s instructions carefully. I understand that every dog has its own personality, routine, and comfort level, so I take time to make pets feel safe and cared for. Pet care fits well into my daily routine because I am usually home and able to give pets regular attention throughout the day. I can help with feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and check-ins. I try to keep each pet’s routine as close as possible to what they are used to at home. I have a fenced-in house with 4 bedrooms, so I can safely keep pets separated when needed. This is helpful for pets who need quiet space, slow introductions, or extra comfort. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully for feeding, walks, medications, and routines. I keep the home clean, safe, and calm, and I make sure pets are supervised and comfortable during their stay.
About: I’ve taken care of animals my whole life. I now have 2 dogs and 3 cats who are my entire world and also take care of 6+ other animals when needed! I’m currently a student working part-time, so I am available Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday at any time! On the weekends I am available for stop ins only. I have a fenced yard and 2 friendly pups who can keep your pets company! I also have 3 cats if you need one of your animals to work on socialization skills.
About: Hey there. I’m probably new to your town as I am an ICU Travel nurse. I dreamed of something like this app and now the dream has come true. I love dogs and cats. Owned them since I was 12. I love working towards earning their trust and bond. And they pretty much pick me as their favorite person in the household. When I would travel and have roommates, their cats and/or dogs would choose to sleep on my bed rather than their owners. The owners would appreciate me as their furry baby’s awesome uncle. The owner would have to lift the pet off my bed and lock them in their own room to sleep and cuddle with at night. I work well with furry babies because I understand and respect them. I have no ego. No agenda. Other than working mindfully towards creating a loving and playful bond. I’m very patient and respect the individual furry family member for their uniqueness. I understand Pavlovian conditioning and ethology. I don’t ever ever ever never hit or discipline pets ever. That is stupid and unproductive. Rewarding proper behavior with treats or pets is the way to go. Furry babies love me and choose me because I fulfill their needs and understand what they do and dont like. Cats dont like to be picked up or touched in vulnerable/threatening locations. So I don’t, even though of course I’d love to hold them and squeeze them with love in a selfish manner. I meet them and form relationships with them on their terms. Not my own selfish terms. I should add I don’t mind getting scratched or bit by cats or dogs. They can’t linguistically speak. So their biting and scratching is their way of communicating their needs. Needless to say, I’m relatively tech savy and will meet your needs as the owner too. Through updates, pics, and prompt communication. Peoples’ furry babies are sacred. I treat it as such. It would be an honor and a dream to participate in their lives, even if it is for a short time in a different city as a travel nurse. So if I’m around the neighborhood and free, it would be great to connect to you and your furry family member and be their cool uncle. Again. Travel nurse. Will update schedule. But it varies week to week. I may work days or nights. But I’ll update my schedule. And hopefully I’m available. As a travel nurse, I’m limited to walking pets and visiting other people’s homes. I used to do home infusions as a nurse. So I’m pretty comfortable entering a person’s temple and maintaining the sanctity of their homes. People and pets love me. It’s good to be me.
About: I've cared for pets of all kinds since l was 10. My experience includes training puppies, caring for senior dogs, administering medication, and providing personalized love and attention. My open availability makes it easy to accommodate your needs. I provide boarding, day walk-ins, and visit-ins to ensure your pet gets the care they deserve. I have a safe, welcoming environment for pets including pet lobby. I prioritize their comfort and safety and tailor my care to each pet's needs.
About: I have my own cat Anya and she is one of the most important things to me. I’ve always had a special connection with animals. Since I was young, I could always connect with other people’s pets, many times they would say wow he/she never let’s anyone do that etc. I often feel that I connect better with animals than with people.” I work at a kennel in auburn ny from 8am to 10am in the morning and evening from 4-5:30 but before and after that I try to fill in my time as much as possible seeing and taking care of as many animals as possible I have my own cat Anya but as far as taking care of your animals it would have to be at your place of residence. I offer walking, sitting, overnights, feeding etc. I don’t board any more pets at my residence.
“Ella took great care of our two pups and home. It was a pleasure to come home from vacation to happy dogs, a clean home and blooming flowers. She sent us photos and communicated regularly so we had peace of mind on our vacation. We highly recommend Ella!”
“Heather was wonderful with our senior dog, Pippin. Though he doesn't have a complex routine to follow, he's a quirky guy that likes to be VERY close to his person, is forgetful, and sometimes barky due to his age. Heather "got" Pippin right away. We felt she genuinely understood his habits and his singular approach to life. Heather sent just the right amount of updates and photos. Pippin was in good hands with Heather. We are very grateful to her and highly recommend her!”
“We started using Marianna few months ago. We have a special situation in that we have 3 cocker spaniels, two of which are special needs and require medications throughout the day. The reason we don't board our dogs is because our oldest is blind. Marianna is extremely compassionate and completely understands the responsibilities that involve totally taking care of your pets. In the past we would cancel our trips or just not travel because we are "worry-warts" Now that we have found Marianna and our dogs have developed a trusting relationship with her, we are back to traveling. We have been through a couple of pet sitters in the past but I can say with certainty that Marianna is the best. She follows every direction to the T, sends tons of videos and photos, and keeps you in the loop of everything that goes on while you are away. I truly feel Marianna loves our dogs the way we love our dogs. She really does a great job not only pet sitting for your pets but looking after your home as well. Our home is always clean when we return and it seems that she is sad to leave the dogs. We actually live far away from Marianna but pay extra for her travels to ensure that we have her look after our dogs. Anyone that is looking for a pet sitter that is trustworthy, responsible, professional and extremely compassionate go with Marianna. PS Thanks for taking great care of us ...From: Wrigley, Rizzo & Addie.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Woodland
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 419 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Woodland. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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.

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.
