“This was my first time using Rover and having someone housesit for me, and Linda was an absolute pleasure to have! She sent me frequent updates, responded quickly, and left the place cleaner than when she got there. She clearly cares a lot about the pets she watches, and was able to adapt quickly to my 1-year-old dog's energy and spunk!”
“Nancy was such a delight. Her level of attention and frequent communication was amazing and she really helped ease my anxieties around being away from my two babies. I came home to a spotless home and two very comfortable pets. She followed all the directions to a T and even left a really sweet note for when I got home. I almost dont want to recommend her because I dont want Nancy to get booked up when we might need her 😊”
“Heather was great looking after our dog ArdyJazz and the two cats, Coral and Manatee, while we were gone for about 10 days to. She's super friendly and you can tell she really loves animals – she totally got their individual quirks. It was great getting updates and pics that showed everyone was doing well. Coming home to happy pets and a tidy house was such a relief! We totally recommend Heather if you need someone great to watch your furry crew, and we'll definitely be hitting her up again next time we travel.”
“Viva is the best dog sitter!!! Our boys have such a wonderful connection with her and while we miss them when we are away, we never worry about them. She always sends the best pictures and videos, too! 15/10!”
“Amber has helped me on a few occasions and has been so wonderful! She keeps the place clean and keeps me updated on how my dog is doing. I have a senior dog so Amber has helped put my mind at ease with how attentive she is with my girl! Thank you Amber- will be using her again!”
“Gabriyela was attent e to Chloe's needs, provided excellent communication before, during and after her stay. We appreciated the photos and cute comments that made us feel comfortable and confident about being away. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟”
“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.”
“Bryan is exceptional from start to finish. He took amazing care of our dog, kept us consistently updated, and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. It’s clear he truly cares, and we came home to a happy, well-loved pup who absolutely adores him. Highly recommend!”
“Kira is great! Our pets were very happy upon our return home. 2 of our 4 pets are pretty anxious and timid, but Kira was able to make them feel comfortable enough to come out, eat, and have some photos taken of them. I can tell Kira cared for them and has very good energy. The house was also spotless and very well maintained. Kira is very responsive and considerate - she asks great questions and I can tell cares a lot about the animals she cares for. Would definitely book again!”
“Jose was a fantastic in-house sitter for my Labrador Retriever, she took to him immediately and he was a great communicator, sending plenty of updates and pics. He left my house neat as a pin, I will definitely utilize his services again!”
“Jennifer went above and beyond taking care of our animals! She sent wonderful updates while we were gone and our pets had the best time hanging out with her. HIGHLY recommend her whenever you need someone to take care of your pets.”
“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.”
“Gabriela took such good care of our Willow and our home! Willow is reactive and took some time to warm up and through the process she communicated so well and was incredibly understanding and patient! She also sent plenty of pictures to let us know all was going well so we could enjoy our time away!”
“I wanted to build on top of my previous review in order to recognize Jillian's flexibility and reliability. We had a sit scheduled to start on a Saturday, however on Thursday my flight out Saturday was cancelled due to the Government shutdown. I was re-booked to fly out Friday instead and my trip was contingent that Jillian would be available. On 24 hour notice she was able to start the sit one day earlier, allowing the trip to take place. Flying back was also in question due to the volatility of air travel and Jillian was more or less "on call" in the event that my flight was cancelled or extremely delayed (luckily there were no issues). Jillian was a lifesaver and took that stress off of my plate during that time.”
“Julia was awesome. We couldn’t be happier with how well she took care of our babies and treated our house. Julia was very communicative and the daily photos were perfect for us to feel great about leaving our girls in her care. No second thoughts about using Julia again on our next trip.”
“Words cannot express how happy I am with Milleigh's ability to take care of my pets. Both my cat and dog were happy to have her spend a weekend with them. She even took my dog on a couple of runs, something he loves. Book her!”
“We have three big dogs and it's not always easy to mange them. Ryan did a great job. Especially with our "little" one, Ginny. She can be stubborn and refuse to go out for walks. She was hesitant at first, but Ryan was able to get her to come out eventually.”
“Jordyn is awesome! She takes such good care of our 2 dogs. She stayed in our house this past weekend to take care of them, and it was such a relief having somebody there that you knew was responsible and loving towards your dogs.”
“Did an amazing job with our pets and really went above and beyond with her pet sitting services. She stayed at our home with the animals and was a great house guest while we were gone”

Victoria is such an amazing sitter! She has awesome energy and is so attentive! She sent so many photos and updates, stayed so active, and was so intuitive with getting our eternally dehydrated dog to drink water. She also was so helpful in our house and left everything exactly how she left it!
Libby was great! One of the best sitters I've worked with. She asked many questions during our meet and greet to make sure she knew what our pups needed, and she provided regular updates and photos of the pups having a good time. She also took care of the houseplants. Thank you Libby!
Anna was such a great sitter! She gave my cat all of the affection and attention he personally acquires. She was pretty good with keeping in touch and sending pictures of my cat as well. She also left my place cleaner than I could have ever done. It is true she will love your pet like her own and care for them in the best way possible. Thank you Anna!!!
Hannah is amazing! She is very communicative and put all of our crew at easy. She sends plenty of updates and pictures of our doofuses chilling and playing and even some funny face candids. Would 100% recommend for dogs AND cats...because we have plenty of both and she takes good care of them.
Amber has helped me on a few occasions and has been so wonderful! She keeps the place clean and keeps me updated on how my dog is doing. I have a senior dog so Amber has helped put my mind at ease with how attentive she is with my girl! Thank you Amber- will be using her again!
Sam stayed at my home for a week to care for my cat, Simon. They did an absolutely wonderful job! Very communicative with detailed messages and multiple photos and videos each day. Simon is a tough cat to win over (he’s afraid of everything), but within a day and a half Simon found a new best friend in Sam. This was such a huge relief to know he was happy and calm while I was away. Sam has a very chill/calm presence and I will absolutely use their services again!!
Eden is the kindest soul and we’re so lucky to have found her! We had to head out of town after unexpectedly getting our rescue puppy earlier than anticipated. We were super anxious, but we left them in the best hands! All pets were loved on and well taken care of— thank you, Eden!

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 September 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 September 2026, there are 4,898 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:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% 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.
