“Janae did a great job with our pups. She was communicative and easy to work with. We received numerous pictures and updates throughout the day. I would highly recommend her in the future.”
“Joanna did a great job!! She was very communicative. She sent pictures of the pets regularly, followed all directions left, reached out with any questions, and left the house tidy upon the end of the service. She even came over a week before to meet the pets and familiarize herself with the location of foods and treats! Very thankful for her work!”
“Gabriella is by far the best dog and house sitter we've had. After several disappointing experiences with other sitters, we had honestly started to lose hope. From the beginning, she was professional, reliable, and easy to communicate with. She arrived on time, followed all of our instructions for our dog, and it was clear she genuinely cared about doing a good job. We came home to a happy dog and a spotless house. We wouldn't hesitate to hire her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter.”
“My dogs are very high energy and one in particular gets into a lot of trouble. Ross did a great job of keeping him in check, and my house wasn’t in sticks when I returned home! I highly reccommend him”
“Sophie watched our 2 dogs and 2 cats while we were out of town, and was phenomenal! She was very communicative, and our animals loved her! It alleviates the stress of leaving when you know the animals and house are being taken care of. We would (and will) absolutely use her again!”
About: Hi, I’m Clay! I’ve been around animals my whole life and have always loved being around dogs. I have a 5-year-old Bernese Mountain Dog who’s been my best friend since he was a puppy, so I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just keeping your dog company, I’ll make sure they’re safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I’ll treat your dog with the same patience and care I’d want for my own. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pup! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pet the attention they deserve. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, or just keeping them company, I’m able to provide dependable care throughout the day. I understand how important routines are for pets, and I’ll do my best to keep them comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. When caring for pets in your home, I’ll follow your routine as closely as possible so your pet feels comfortable and stress-free. Ill keep your home clean and respect your space while you’re away. My goal is for you to have peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for until you return.
“Katie watched our rottie and mixed breed while we went on a short overnight trip. She sent pictures, kept the house clean, and the pups were happy as can be! We had a water leak (no fault of Hers) while we were gone, she called us immediately and took care of clean up so we didn’t have to leave our trip early. Would highly recommend her for any of your pet needs! :D”
“Booked Stephie last minute and she was super flexible for us when we needed it most! Our sweet girl Chica was taken care of and able to stay in the comfort of her own home. We will definitely be keeping her in mind for future bookings!”
“Allison is a dog whisperer! She loves dogs and did an amazing job taking care of my doggo. I would recommend her to anyone. She sent me pictures every day so I felt she was in good hands. We also FaceTimed so I could see and talk to Cookie. Reliable and consistent too.”
“Tabitha was absolutely WONDERFUL. After having a horrible experience with another Rover sitter last year, we were very apprehensive to use another one. However, Tabitha completely exceeded our expectations during her stay w our 2 year old (needy & hyper) Vizsla. She sent pictures often & was extremely responsive any time we reached out just to check in. Would definitely use her again & highly recommend to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”
“We had Kaitlyn stay at our home over Memorial Day weekend to care for our two dogs, and she was absolutely fantastic! She went above and beyond, doing two home visits before her stay to get to know our pups and ensure they were comfortable with her. One of our dogs is 15 years old, deaf, on several medications, and prone to wandering at night—which requires a lot of patience and attentiveness. Kaitlyn handled it all with care and compassion. Her communication was excellent; we received daily updates with photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. When we returned home, the house was spotless and, most importantly, both dogs were calm and relaxed. That’s not always the case—so it was clear they felt safe and cared for. We couldn’t be more grateful for the exceptional care Kaitlyn provided and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible, communicative, and genuinely caring sitter.”
“We went out of town and this was the first time we have ever used a service to watch our dogs. Once we met Jessica our fears were gone! She was so good with both of our dogs and we were immediately relieved. She allowed us to enjoy our vacation without worrying about our home and our dogs. We will DEFINITELY use her again-Thanks Jessica!”
“Thank you Jared for taking such good care of Beau for the day. I really appreciate you taking this at last minute. I am sure he enjoyed his day with you! Hope to have you back again sometime!”
“Olivia was great!! Great communication, sent pictures and videos of our pup and was so helpful with our last minute booking. Will definitely be booking again for future needs, highly recommend to anyone searching for a sitter.”
“Christian is infinitely empathetic, caring, and attentive to your fur babies! He also is extremely conscientious about leaving your home as clean and orderly as he found it- or more so. He brings in your mail, takes out your trash and recycling, brings it back in. He communicates regularly and provides photos that illustrate how your pets are doing when you are away! He washed the bedding on the bed he used while doing an overnight and remade the bed! I can’t recommend him highly enough!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Woodland Hills
We truly couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter. From the moment we left, we knew our dogs were in exceptional hands. She was incredibly attentive to each dog’s individual needs, kept them active with plenty of walks, playtime, and enrichment. Communication was outstanding throughout our time away. We received frequent updates, photos, and videos that gave us complete peace of mind and let us see just how happy and comfortable our dogs were. It was obvious she genuinely cared about them. Her professionalism, kindness, reliability, and genuine love for animals truly set her apart! We would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for someone they can trust completely with their pets.
Ross has been absolutely incredible every time he’s cared for our dogs. He goes above and beyond—not only making sure they’re fed and have fresh water, but also taking care of administering medications without any issues. It’s such a relief knowing they’re in safe, capable hands. What really stands out is how much he genuinely cares. He spends quality time with them and treats them like his own, which means everything to us. Our dogs are always happy and comfortable when he’s around. We truly wouldn’t trust anyone else. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for reliable, compassionate pet care.
Elizabeth stayed with our beagle Lilly for 2 nights and a full day. This was the first time we have left her. She is a rescue of having her 3 months. Elizabeth was very calm and attentive to Lilly. We felt confident leaving Lilly in her care. She will be back again soon. Lilly will be looking forward to seeing her again
Grace was an excellent pet sitter for our three cats. She was professional, responsible, and communicated clearly throughout our time away. We always knew how our cats were doing, which gave us peace of mind. She followed instructions carefully, was dependable, and treated our cats with genuine care. We would not hesitate to trust Grace again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and attentive pet sitter

FAQs for House Sitting - Woodland Hills
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Woodland Hills on Rover is $38.85 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 758 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:
- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 99% 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.
