“Scar was an amazing sitter!!! He was great with my girl chloe, providing many updates when it came to not only feeding and things but just generally how she was doing. My girl is older and requires more care when it comes to feedings and such and he did a great job working with that. Would absolutely recommend him to anyone. He especially is very respectful when it comes to feeling out the cats personality which was great to see.”
“We had the best experience with Gabriyela! She made us feel so comfortable leaving our boy with her. She sent us frequent updates, it was so nice. I can’t recommend her enough!”
“Anthony was amazing with Milo, and kept me updated the whole time. Great energy, great service, and he worked around to make sure he had time to watch Milo. So appreciative and will definitely be booking again.”
“Mina did an excellent job caring for my three dogs in my home. She was patient while letting them warm up to her and so loving with them throughout my whole trip. She was extremely easy to communicate with and sent plenty of pictures and videos. I would absolutely hire Mina again. She is one of those rare gems on Rover! Amazing pet sitter.”
“Gabriela was super communicative and reliable. She took good care of my dog and cat and sent lots of updates and photos. I would definitely recommend her!”
“Raymond was the best with our pups! He took great care of them and kept them on their routine while we were away. He was very respectful of the house and left it in tip-top shape before he left. His communication was awesome and we will booking with him again!”
“I was nervous leaving Remi during her recovery, but she made me feel so comfortable and kept me updated. She was patient, caring, and attentive to Remi’s needs. I truly appreciated how reliable she was especially that it was a bit last minute. I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their pet.”
“AMAZING!!! This was my first Rover experience and I couldn't have been happier. Nancy stayed at our home with our Golden Daisy for a long weekend and was the best companion. Nancy sent pictures every day, went on walks and lots of snuggles. (Not to mention our house looked better than we left it). Can't recommend Nancy enough and she will definitely be watching Daisy again in the future!”
“Cabby did an excellent job taking care of Mila. She provided routine updates and pictures. She also left my place very clean. Your pet will be in good hands with Cabby. I would definitely book her again!”
“Abbigail and Cody were so great with my animals. I’m so happy to have found them on here. My dog has quite a personality and absolutely adores them. Will be booking again because I feel confident he will be happy and safe when they are around. Really great people.”
“Jen was a fantastic sitter for our pup, Maddie! She was very communicative sending regular photo updates during her stay, and kept everything shipshape around the house. If you’re seeking a reliable sitter look no further!”
“Forever repeat booker for my baby girl (other people call her a dog but she’s my daughter)! Bryan is the absolute best. Amazing communication and goes above and beyond every time. Couldn’t recommend someone more!”
“Koda loved Ryan and they become buds real quick! This was my first time using Rover and leaving Koda with a dog sitter! He sent me updates and lots of pics everyday! Best experience and would rebook with Ryan!”
“Javay was fantastic! Super communicative and was incredibly patient with my senior anxious dog. She was available last minute which was a huge life saver for us. Thank you so so much Javay, Murph misses you!”

“Julia did a wonderful job with my pitbull Dex. I was constantly updated. I got pictures. 10/10 recommend. And the house was in perfect order when I got home. I can’t thank her enough. I’ll be reaching out to her whenever I leave town without my boy!”

Anthony watching my dog was nothing short of a miracle. On extremely short notice, he agreed to care for my pup, helped fit in a meet & greet, and then far exceeded my expectations with communication and taking care of my baby. It was clear from the first photo he shared that he easily won over my dog and helped me feel at ease my entire vacation - THANK YOU!
We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter! From the moment we left, we knew our pets were in caring and capable hands. They took such wonderful care of Birdie and Ben, making sure they were happy, comfortable, and loved while we were away. We received thoughtful updates and photos that gave us complete peace of mind, and it was clear our pets were being treated like family. We came home to two happy, relaxed pets and everything was exactly as we left it.
Jakobi was Great with Poppy! He was courteous, knowledgeable and did fantastic job of helping Poppy. Jakobi sent texts, pictures and messages regarding Poppy while I was away. I knew she was in great hands While I was away! Thank you for taking such good care of my girl. Will definitely request him to dog sit again and told my neighbors who had dogs about Jakobi. I
Chris is awesome. He took the time to come over and meet the dogs before the scheduled housesitting he communicated effectively and efficiently throughout the process, and the dogs seemed to love him during the visit and clearly through all the pictures he took. Thank you Chris 10/10!
Jasmin hosted our three dogs during 4th of July weekend, for a total of 5 days. Our dogs are all triggered by fireworks and she handled them great. She consistently checked in, provided videos and photos, and she is just generally a good person. I could not recommend her enough
I highly recommend Desiree! She was not only attentive to my animals. She was very loving when I got home. They were well rested because she took great care of them. She slept in the bed of my 12 year-old pitbull and she took care of her so well, I wish I could hire her every single day. You will not go wrong with Desiree.🫶

FAQs for House Sitting - Woodland Hills
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Woodland Hills on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 4,844 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Woodland Hills. 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 Hills 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 Hills 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 Hills 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 Hills. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
