About: I've grown up with pets, worked at a pet sitting company for a summer, follow pet care instructions, and understand they're your most prized possession and will therefore treat them with the utmost will love and care. I work Mon-Fri, 7am-4pm, and can take care of pets before or after work as well as during a lunch break as long as location is around 15 minutes away from work. I have grown up with pets, and love giving them attention. I will make sure they eat well, get plenty of exercise, and stay healthy and out of trouble.
About: I have grown up surrounded by all kinds of animals, and caring for them has always been a natural and effortless love of mine. Over the past twenty years, I’ve gained a wealth of experience, including a handful of paid pet sitting jobs, but most of my time has been spent volunteering, caring for family pets, and helping friends with their furry companions. This lifelong devotion has fostered a deep understanding of animal behavior and routines. As a result, I’m a compassionate caregiver who treats every pet like a member of my own family. Hello! My name is Holly, and I provide dedicated, highly flexible pet care tailored to your dog or cat's unique needs. I am currently a stay at home mom, which means my daily schedule is exceptionally open. Your pet won't be left alone for long stretches of the day; instead, they will enjoy a consistent, comforting presence. I pride myself on being incredibly adaptive. Whether your pet thrives on strict routines, needs medication at precise times, or requires a quiet, calm environment, I easily adjust to fit their lifestyle. Because of my unique setup, I have the freedom to slip away easily throughout the day for prompt drop in visits, walks, and feedings. I am detail oriented, highly communicative, and ready to give your pet the stellar care and companionship they deserve. I provide a clean, spacious, and welcoming environment where your pet can truly feel at home. They will love having plenty of room to stretch out indoors, along with access to a generous, fully fenced backyard. Thanks to a secure doggy door, they can freely enjoy the fresh air and playtime whenever they please, giving them the perfect balance of indoor comfort and outdoor fun.
“Jayson & Alexa were fantastic! They did an amazing job house sitting and taking care of our two labs and one cat. They spent quality time with the dogs and cat. Our aloof cat even warmed up to them within a few days! Our labs loved them too. Jayson’s communication was on point. I heard from him every day and got photos and videos of our happy pets. I highly recommend them and would hire them again anytime.”
“Madison was sweet, accommodating and communicated very thoroughly. I loved getting plenty of pictures and updates about my pups! My dogs are larger and finicky eaters so it was nice to hear they ate all their meals while I was gone! Thank you !”
“Rachel is amazing!!!! She took care of my 2 cats and puppy. Not only did she show them lots of love and attention but continued to reinforce the training schedule with my puppy which can be a lot of work! I also appreciate how she treated my home as she would her own! I would highly recommend her!!!”
“Alejandra was amazing with the pups. I loved receiving all the updates. She is a great communicator. She was prompt and even offered to stay late if our flight got delayed. When we got back the house was just as clean when we left it.”
About: I have a BS in Animal Science and have 5 years direct experience working with animals. I’ve also worked with a 2 month old puppy, volunteered at my local animal shelter, as well as received Volunteer of the Year award during that time. I've walked dogs, changed cats litter, fed rabbits, and made sure all animals in the shelter had fresh food and water, as well as clean spaces. I’ve always had a caring heart for animals, and am looking forward to taking care of you and your beloved pets! Tambien hablo español! My regular full time job is an accountant. M/F I am free in the mornings and evenings, and weekends I am available as well. Having a consistent work schedule for my regular job gives me more flexibility to do what I want in my free time. I adopted a bird a few years ago and have loved taking care of her. She is a cockatiel, and takes certain weekly/monthly maintenance requirements, which shows I'm careful in what I do. Myself being also a fit athletic person makes me a good fit for all size dogs and cats, which I have experience working with at my local animal shelter.
“Shanika treated my dogs like her own! She was punctual, communicative, sent so many photo and video updates, took great care of our home, and was very trustworthy. We plan on hiring her to house-sit again!”
“Jai was a great pet and house sitter. He provided pictures and updates every day. I loved hearing about his and Ivy's day. I would recommend him and plan to use him in the future!”
“Kate did a wonderful job taking care of our two dogs. She sent us daily videos and photos. She communicated clearly in a timely manner. She also took great care of our house! We would not hesitate to hire her again.”
“Jenn was a dog parent’s dream! She was attentive to all of my dogs’ needs and quirks, and couldn’t have been more accommodating to my travel and access needs, pickup and drop off times, etc. She handled my dog with medical needs easily, and sent lots of pics of my pups looking very happy. Very psyched we found our new favorite dog sitter :)”
“April is so amazing. She watched our boy while we were traveling abroad and we didn't have a worry in the world while he was in her care. She was prompt, communicative, and our dog looked so happy and content in every photo she sent us. She took wonderful care of our home while she was sitting as well. April is a gem!”
About: Hi, I’m Jay, and my wife Cindy is a full-time mom to our teenage daughter and our dog. Cindy grew up on a farm, which sparked her lifelong love for animals and plants. Over the years, we’ve cared for two Havanese dogs and a yellow Labrador Retriever. We currently have a very sweet female Havanese who gets along wonderfully with other dogs. Our daughter also loves playing with dogs and takes great care of them. We have a spacious, fenced yard where your small dog can play safely. We only accept hypoallergenic or non-shedding breeds. We generally welcome dogs weighing between 3 and 20 pounds and allow them to lounge on our couches. However, for safety reasons, we cannot accommodate aggressive dogs, so you may need to find another sitter in that case. Cindy is a full-time stay-at-home mom, so dogs in our care receive plenty of love, attention, and companionship throughout the day. Our whole family genuinely loves having dogs around, and we treat every pup as part of our family while they’re with us. We’re happy to provide dog beds, bowls, toys, and a crate if needed. We’re typically available 24/7 and always make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Hello! I’m Jay’s wife, Cindy. I start my mornings at 6 AM by heading out to the backyard with the dogs, and I love making sure they’re well cared for throughout the day. Mealtime is one of my favorite moments with them, so if you have any specific requests regarding your dog’s food, please feel free to let me know anytime! When dogs visit for the first time, they often want to go outside to the backyard every 30 minutes to an hour. This is usually because they are curious and exploring their new environment, seeking comfort in open spaces, marking their territory, or simply adjusting their bathroom habits while settling in. I enjoy spending time outside with the dogs, watching them explore and playing fetch—especially when the weather is nice. Even when they’re just roaming around the backyard, I always keep an eye on them to ensure they’re safe. When it’s time for a nap, I let the dogs rest peacefully while I send updates to their owners. I love being home all day, sharing my time with the dogs and my family. Whether your dog loves to play, cuddle, or needs some extra attention, I always tailor their care to ensure they’re comfortable and happy. Caring for dogs has been a big part of my life. Over the past five years, I’ve raised and nurtured dozens of Havanese and Labrador Retriever puppies before helping them find their forever homes. I also have a passion for photography! With my background in film, video production, and visual effects design, I love capturing special moments of the dogs through photos. I’m always happy to adjust to your dog’s preferences and needs, so please don’t hesitate to reach out with any special requests or questions!
About: I’ve taken care of both dogs and cats my whole life. My mom was a veterinary Tech so I’ve always been around animals. I currently raise four special needs cats of my own. I am a tattoo apprentice currently, and I make my own schedule, so I am more than willing to work within your needs for whatever works for both you and your furry friend! I have tons of experience with animal care and promise and very hands on experience with your loved on. they will be loved on and completely supervised. I promise to treat them as one of my own!

FAQs for House Sitting - Woodland
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 1,013 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.
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.

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.
