Antonia was great! Lots of updates while we were gone and I think my dog was looking for her when I came home! I felt at ease leaving our pup and home in her care.

Anne couldn’t have been better! Caring for my dogs for 16 days & nights, Anne was the perfect match for Ronnie & Teddy. She was respectful of our property & neighborhood. She treated my dogs as if they were hers. Anne updated me daily with pictures of my pups, which was greatly appreciated. I could tell my dogs were so loved & cared for while I was away. I would highly recommend Anne to anyone who needs a loving, responsible pet sitter! Looking forward to booking her again!

About: My childhood dog was obsessed with my dad, so I didn't *truly* embrace my love of dogs until I moved in with an anxious, expressive Weimaraner 15 years ago. Beyond walking and sitting my sweet "furnephew," I have cared for a sassy Chihuahua, a paranoid bowling ball (aka Pitbull), a ball-obsessed Jack Russell mix, and a shy English Springer. Most significantly, I co-owned a stubborn, aloof Shiba Inu for more than four years, starting at 9 weeks. He taught me a special appreciation for reactive, highly-vigilant, and misunderstood dogs. I was accustomed to writing detailed instructions to make sure my sensitive boy felt comfortable and safe with any walker or sitter. I work mostly from home, and I'm looking to fit in sitting and walking engagements into my downtime to get my dog fix. I will also be available some evenings and weekends. I live in a dog-free building, but I am ready to take care of your pet in your home to fit your needs. I'm comfortable crating dogs as you deem necessary, letting the dog roam in a fenced-in yard, playing with a variety of toys in your home, or taking your dogs on walks with my full attention.

So wonderful to work with Erica again to take care of my bunnies. She stayed again in my house and spent lots of time with them and made sure they were well looked after while I was away. It really makes my trips so much better knowing I don’t have to worry about my pets. Erica is very communicative also and responds quickly, which makes the experience even more reassuring. I look forward to working with Erica soon again !

About: Note: Be sure to check my calendar for availability before booking. Thanks! I adopted my Puerto Rican rescue named Leo in 2019 and he has completely changed my life. He can be reactive on walks and is a super anxious boy in general so I have experience managing nervous dogs. Leo has taught me to see every dog as a cherished family member and loyal companion. When I meet a dog, I want to make them feel as loved and special as they make us feel everyday. My goal is to spend as much time as possible with dogs and I would love to meet yours! I know how exhausting it can be to work and meet your pets needs, and I would love to give you some peace of mind knowing they’ve gotten attention, love, and exercise while you’re busy. I am a student home for the summer and am free until September, but am taking a couple of weekends away so make sure to check my calendar. I am open to spending time with your dog in your home during the day and stay overnight for up to a week. I can do mealtimes and take walks/backyard playtime. And of course, will include endless cuddles.

Emily accommodated a very last minute request & I couldn’t be more grateful! Bronx is an adoptee and experiences a good deal of separation anxiety. I was nervous of him meeting someone new without a meet and greet, needless to say he absolutely adored her and she was very patient and loving with him!

Hayley did an AMAZING job with my fur kids. I could not ask for anything better. She communicated well and made sure both my cat and dog were happy, healthy, and well loved ? My dog is wheelchair bound, which was a new experience for her, but she did a perfect job with him and I was so at ease with her being there. She was also a wonderful house guest and left my apartment as clean as when I left! I’ve had some bad Rover experiences and some pretty good ones, but I have to say that Hayley has been the best. I will 10/10 be calling on her again!!

Kaye was amazing! She was incredible to work with pre-booking, willing to meet early to make sure Nell would be comfortable during her stay. During the stay, she accommodated surprise needs, made sure to communicate regularly, and really helped keep Nell on her regular puppy schedule! While watching Nell she went above and beyond to help us bring in packages, provide regular pictures, and play with our girl! Nell was safe, very loved, and had the best weekend ever! We will only be using Kaye from now on - we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thank you K!

Madi is the absolute best! We have used her multiple times for day visits but this is the first house/dog sit, and unsurprisingly, she exceeded all expectations! With a dog that doesn’t like when mom and dad leave, having someone your dog loves and that you as owners can trust makes trips so much less stressful for everyone involved. Madi does great with communication, follows instructions to a T, and genuinely cares about your pet. Our pup absolutely loves her. Plus she takes great pictures! Our house looked exactly the way we left it, she’s a lovely house guest on top of a world class dog sitter. Don’t hesitate to book, we will certainly be booking her again!

Emma provided excellent care for my pups and truly went above and beyond throughout the entire stay. She followed all guidance carefully, and it showed in how comfortable and well-cared-for my pups were. They absolutely loved her—she gave them the attention they wanted and needed, which made a big difference. She also sent regular photos and videos of her interactions with them, including playtime and walks, which I really appreciated. Emma was attentive, reliable, and kept me updated, giving me great peace of mind while I was away. You can truly tell she has a genuine love for animals. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the animals she looks after. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dedicated sitter.

We had Sjoribel housesit for us for a second time - she watched Cleo for an entire week. Cleo got several walks a day and ate her meals. Sjoribel always gave us detailed updates and let us know if anything was off routine. We received photo updates every day which we loved. We came back to a spotless house and a happy dog. Highly recommend Sjoribel!

There are no adequate words to describe Yiting's incredible gift with animals and our gratitude for her work with us! We have a dog with very special needs, but from the first moment our dog interacted with Yiting, he was at ease and connected with her as if they'd known each other for years. This is entirely due to Yiting's innate ability and specialized training to connect with animals in a way that dignifies them and their needs, helping them feel secure. I am so thankful we found Yiting. She will be our #1 go-to for anything our dog needs in the future. And she took absolutely wonderful, thoughtful care of our home and even our two birds as an overnight sitter. I cannot recommend her highly enough!

First of all Marie is just an all around lovely person. I really enjoyed meeting her and getting to know her. She is also a great pet sitter. My pets are a little challenging. While they are sweet, they also need a lot emotionally and each one has a special consideration that makes them just a little more difficult than the average pet. Marie did a great job caring for them and my home. I had never used rover before and she relieved all my anxiety about this new experience. She was wonderful and I am so grateful for her having been here with my needy crew while I was away.

FAQs for House Sitting - Woodland Acres

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Woodland Acres on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 10,400 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Woodland Acres. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% 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.
