“Janae was incredible! Our trip was a little crazy and she was flexible on both the front end and the back end. She took great care of our large breed, high maintenance doggos,and even went above and beyond when they were needing some extra care. Not only will we use Janae again, we would recommend her to anyone who worries a little extra when they are away from their pets (unless it interferes with our travel times-lol!) For your reference we have a 120 lbs Sheepadoodle (gentle giant) and an 85 lbs Goldendoodle rescue who struggles to warm up to people. Janae was over the top- she took in my packages, watered my plants, and took out our trash. 5 STARS!!!”
“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!”
“Ross stayed with our 2 dogs for several hours one afternoon, including giving each of them a walk. He was prompt in arriving, sat on the floor to greet each one of them, and did exactly what I asked. I would definitely hire him again if the need arises.”
“Christian is the most professional, empathetic, thoughtful, thorough pet sitter I have had the pleasure of meeting and working with. When I returned from an 8 day trip, my house felt like it had just been cleaned, my pets were happy and content and he left half a homemade bundt cake in the refrigerator! Additionally, he watered my husband’s many plants and flowers at least daily- they looked wonderful upon our return and the city was under a heat wave while we were away. He is a wonderful communicator and cares for your pets as if they were his own.”

“Haley did a wonderful job caring for my dog! She was professional, dependable, and attentive. I felt confident that my dog was in great hands and would gladly book with Haley again.”
“Tabitha was an awesome dog sitter. She was thoughtful and inquisitive when meeting the dogs prior to the stay. She was lightning fast on responses and gave daily updates and pictures. We couldn't have chosen a better sitter. Definitely recommend her.”
“Ashley is the best! She watched my 3 dogs and cat for a week and they couldn’t have been happier. She arrived on time everyday, fed, played and even cleaned up an accident one of my pups had. I’m so thankful for her services and will be using again. If you want someone to treat your pups like you would, book Ashley!”
“Allison did a wonderful job watching our two furbabies while we were out of town. We got daily updates and pictures about their adventures. She took them on daily walks and gave them plenty of cuddles.”
“Jared recently watched our two pups and cat and he did such a great job! Our request was very late notice but he was able to accommodate and we were so grateful. Our house was left exactly as we left it too! He also sent us pictures of our animals three times a day. It was so good to see how everyone was taking a liking to him. We will definitely rebook in the future!”
“James was great. Took good care of my house and dogs. Was very good on communication. My house and dogs were in great shape when I returned, like I had never left. I will be (and already have) be booking with James again.”
“Amber is wonderful. She stayed at our house with our fur baby 24 hours for a week. Sent pictures and left the house nice and tighty. Will definitely use from now on. Highly recommend!!”
About: I’ve worked at a dog facility for 3 years, and have worked with all types of dogs. From the smallest chihuahua to the largest great dane. I will meet you needs would love to meet your furry friends:) I am currently working full time, but am willing to make your furry pets my priority on my days off! I am used to playing, walking and cuddles with dogs, and I love meeting new ones! I am very aware about my surroundings and your pet will be very safe with me. I respect boundaries, and know how to read a dog’s behavior rather they are feeling upset, uncomfortable or ect. I also am perfectly capable of any instructions you may have. (feeding, walking, how long they need caged) :)
About: My experience in caring for furry companions has been incredibly rewarding and fulfilling. Whether it's a playful pup or a curious cat, I approach each pet with love and compassion. My daily routine involves ensuring they receive regular meals, fresh water, and engaging in interactive playtime to keep them happy and stimulated. I am attentive to their specific needs, administering any necessary medications and following special dietary requirements. I will maintain a clean and comfortable environment, making sure to keep their living space tidy. I also provide them with emotional support, showering them with affection and creating a sense of security during their owners' absence. In addition, older animals have a very special place in my heart. We found great sitters on Rover before when we had our old dog. The help and support those great people offered us extend way beyond just pet/house sitting. Because of that reason, I would like to provide the same care and support we had experienced to others. I'm currently working part-time, so my time is very flexible. I will be able to spend time with your pet at the comfort of their own environment. I will leave the client's place from time to time through out the day but I will be able to stay there most of my time. Since we have a cat and Stevie is very territorial in our house. I prefer pet sitting at my client's place rather than pet sitting at our own home at this time. I will follow the home and care instructions provided and will keep the house nice and clean. Make your fur baby/babies happy and comfortable while you are away is my ultimate goal.

Janae is incredible! We travel on a whim and Janae was incredibly flexible. I didn't have to worry about our doggos being well taken care of. She sent pictures and updates that set my mind at ease- even in a new town with high maintenance dogs- lol! For reference we have a 120 lbs sheepadoodle and an 85 lbs goldendoodle rescue (resource guarder - hates other dogs). Our HOA has a lot of rules and Janae was meticulous about following the rules and took great care of our home on overnights. We definitely recommend!
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.
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 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 737 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.

- 97% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
