“Catecha was hands-down, the best decision we made for our Sobo! Given this was our first experience using a sitter, she made us feel so comfortable and communicated with us the entire length of our trip. Her skills and knowledge as a trainer is apparent in the way she interacted and bonded with our baby. 10/10 would recommend her and she will definitely be seeing our family again. She also left our home in mint condition and even helped correct some of Sobo’s behavioral issues. Her patience is unmatched! Thank you again Catecha !!”
“Elizabeth was amazing and patient with both Lily and Lewis. Her updates gave me peace of mind and allowed me to focus on my work trip. I knew she was giving my pets the same love and care I would if I were there. Highly recommend her for any of your furry friends.”
“1000% the best housesitter and pet sitter around! If I could give more stars I would! Recommend and trust her with my babies any day. She is professional as well as an all around kind person. Will rebook for future trips, if and when they pop up.”
“Our dogs seemed to be very happy and cared for while Sarah stayed with them. She provided photos and feedback throughout her stay, which were greatly appreciated. Our home was left in perfect condition as well. We will definitely use her again and would recommend her to keep your fur babies.”
“Tara was excellent caring for my cats during a weekend trip I took. Aside from the basics, she gave them companionship and loving care during my absence. I will absolutely use Tara again. She was respectful of my home, communicated with me often and sent pictures while I was away. Thank you so much Tara!”
“Kira kept in touch throughout the process. She did an intro visit to meet the puppies. When we came come from vacation the babies were chill so we know Kira gave them everything they needed. No anxiety, no fuss. Would re-book Kira in a heartbeat”
“Brandi is a pet sitting gem! We have two pups with big personalities, and she was patient, reliable, and adaptable. She communicated every step of the way. She maintained professionalism but also loved them like they were her own. Yuna and Bumi hope to see Brandi again soon!”
About: My experience started when I was younger and raised 14 cats. I also cared for two large Rhodesian Ridgebacks and trained them from 8 weeks old. I currently have a golden retriever (10 yo) and two pit bulls (5 yo and 13 yo). I am an avid dog lover and very intuitive and attentive to individual dog needs. I currently work part-time as a clinical research consultant and work from home. I enjoy spending time outdoors as much as possible and having a furry companion with me is a plus! I am a very organized, clean and considerate individual that will respect your home even more than I do mine. I believe in the Marie Kondo method and structure my life and space accordingly. I will follow whatever routine the pets are used to and give lots of snuggles and attention.

About: I love being active and outdoors, dogs always have a special place in my heart. I am currently a veterinarian assistant and have been working with animals for over 7 years through the military. I have been trained on: first aid, grooming, hygiene, and care for all animals. Working with dogs of all sizes helps me better my skills so I can someday be a vetanarian and open my own hospital. I strongly believe that dogs are men best friend and should be treated with the best care and love. Running around with young and energetic dogs or walking and relaxing with older and relaxed dogs I love them both. And I look forward to having this great opertonity and experience with your dog. I work relief for a vet hospital but my availability is very flexible. I am able to take your pet out twice a day if needed.

About: Hi, my name is Ashley, and I am a middle school educator. Outside of teaching and working with students, I have a huge love for dogs. I have three family dogs, two girls and one boy, and I truly enjoy each of their unique personalities. Funny enough, my boy dog’s birthday is the day before mine, so I always joke that we have the same personality! I have always been the type of person who instantly notices dogs wherever I go. Whether I’m walking around town or traveling on vacation, I’m usually the one saying, “Oh my gosh, look at that dog! I want to go pet them!” I even find myself feeling emotional when I see stray dogs because I wish every dog had a loving home. Animals bring so much joy, and being around dogs has always been something that makes me genuinely happy. I am currently a school teacher, so during summer break I have open availability and more flexibility to provide pet care throughout the day. Once the school year begins, my availability will mainly be during evenings throughout the week and on weekends. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, my goal is to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I understand that every pet has their own routine and personality, so I do my best to follow the care instructions provided by their owner. Pet care for me includes making sure they receive their meals on time, have fresh water, go on their daily walks or potty breaks, and get plenty of attention. I also love spending time playing, cuddling, and giving them affection so they feel cared for while their family is away.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Woodland Acres
Catecha was wonderful in every way. Our dog took to her immediately and they obviously fell in love. We were nervous because Roki had NEVER in his 14 years stayed with anyone he hadn't known all his life. Catecha. Sent photos and reports almost every day We highly recommend Catecha and will ask for her if we have future dog free trips
Alexis was fantastic! Never once did I have to wonder how my baby was doing because she kept me up to date the entire time. She sends plenty of pictures and videos.....that warmed my heart. And, she knew how Jersey loves to go for rides, so Alexis didn't hesitate to let Jersey tag along....even to get a pup cup! Lol I can't wait to book with Alexis again. Even my parents said how great she was! Excellent communicator! Thank you for your services, Alexis!
First time using Rover! What a great experience! Our sitter was so communicative, sending us pictures and videos of our Rocky. She was on time, very good with our Senior dog, and made us feel completely comfortable leaving her in our home with our dog. Def recommend her if you're looking for someone to take good care of your pet!

FAQs for House Sitting - Woodland Acres
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 2,851 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Woodland Acres. 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 Acres 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 Acres 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 Acres 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
