About: More than just a side hustle, it’s my passion. 🌸 -lifelong dog owner -experience as a wrangler, ranch hand, & foster. -worked in boarding facilities & daycares -shadowed & worked alongside professional trainers -volunteered at shelters, rescues & ranches. -Experience with all sizes, ages & personalities, from puppies to seniors, including pets with special needs etc. My Home☺️ - home 24/7, so our days have room for companionship, play, rest & more! - My mother currently stays w me, offering an extra set of caring hands. *You’re welcome to meet her, too!* :) - A single-story home with a secure yard for supervised play & grass patches on the deck for potty breaks. ⭐️My animals always come first. They eat before I do. Their happiness, safety & comfort are the first things on my mind, & when your baby is in my care, they become part of that same love <3 & I truly understand they’re not “just pets” - They are family. They know your footsteps. They find you when you’re sad. They understand silently, better than most. I understand why leaving them with someone takes so much trust & faith. That’s why I care about the little things. Whether they’ve eaten, whether they’re comfortable, whether they need to burn off some energy or just have someone sit beside them. Working with animals has taught me how to listen to the things they can’t say out loud. I would be honored to earn your trust. I want them to have someone who notices, who understands & somewhere they can rest easy ☺️ -I work from home, and have a very flexible schedule to attend to your dog's needs. -My mother stays with me, 4 eyes - instead of 2:) - My home is completely fenced in - safe for your dog to roam and run around supervised. -Back Door Screen is always open so they can go in and out when they please. -Can easily crate or separate the dogs if needed. - Neighborhood is safe and dog-friendly -Ac/heat on 24/7 for your babies ensured comfortability. I have a fully fenced yard, and two very friendly dogs. If needed, my pups definitely can be separated in a different section of the house, or crated. I have always put full dedication to keeping an eye on your pups constantly:) In my client's home, I follow every rule and expectation they imply. I take extra precautions being in the client's home, as I don’t want anything to happen to any of their stuff, or their furbaby.
About: I have many years of experience caring for my own dogs and cats, as well as pet sitting for others. Sadly, Cricket, my nearly 20 year old tiny Chihuahua very recently passed away. I will treat your furry family members with the same love, care, and attention that I did for him. Whether it's going for walks, getting exercise, playing, or enjoying extra cuddles, I'll make sure they feel happy, safe, and loved. I'm also happy to care for senior pets who may need a little extra patience, gentleness, and attention. You can have peace of mind that your dogs or cats are in caring, loving hands. I am home fulltime, on the days I am available for sitting. Therefore, I have plenty of time to attend to, take care of, and love your pet. I have a fenced in yard with plenty of room to run and play. Or we can hang out and rest inside. Whatever you and they prefer. No matter what, they will be cared for and loved.
About: Hi! I’m Erin, Graduate Gemologist & Jeweler, that works from home! I am a pet owner also. And love all breeds of animals. I have a mixed breed rescue dog (all shots and healthy) and two rescue cats. My three amigos! I have always owned large dogs, and am experienced with larger breeds. But I also adore the teeny tiny ones as well! If your pet comes to my home, they must accept cats as I have two indoor kitties. I have a large Enclosed yard they can run and play in, all day if they want. a large crate of needed , and I’m home full time. I can do sleepovers in your home, if not frequent, or extended stays. My pets and husband might get jealous! 🤣 *PLEASE NOTE: I DO NOT board cats in my home, only dogs and caged animals. Sorry. I work from home and have the flexibility of scheduling work around my fury friends! I am available to accept any pets starting at 8am on weekdays and weekends. We take 1-2 walks each day. Your pet is allowed on furniture, so my home will become their home comfortably. I have a large backyard that is fully enclosed. It is a brick wall of decent height but I will need to know if you own a reindeer that can fly over a wall! 🤣
About: For the last two decades, I have dedicated myself to house sitting and pet care for those closest to me. I’ve handled everything from high-energy pups to gentle giants and senior dogs who need a little extra patience and TLC. Because I’ve worked with dogs of all different sizes and temperaments, I know how to read their body language, respect their routines, and give them exactly what they need to feel at ease. I'm currently working part time so I'll have plenty of time to play with your fur babies. I'm available for day or overnights during the week and most weekends. I am very loving and hands on type with pets. We can play in the yard if it's fenced and/or go for walks. I am comfortable to administer medication if needed, as I have cared for many senior foster and my own pets.
About: I don't just care for pets as a job, animals have been a core part of my life. I have personally owned both dogs and cats, giving me years of firsthand, real-world experience. I deeply understand the unique dynamics of both species, from reading a dog's body language on a long walk to respecting a cat’s independent boundaries.Because I have raised and cared for my own animals, I know the exact level of trust it takes to leave your furry family member with someone else. I treat every client's pet with the same patience, safety-first mindset, and individualized care that I gave my own. I am currently a college student and am not working a traditional job. This means my schedule is highly flexible and structured around my classes! Because I balance my time between my studies and my passion for animals, I can offer your pets consistent, reliable care. This setup allows me to easily accommodate midday walks, extended playtime sessions, and dedicated check-ins without the rush of a typical 9-to-5 workday. I'll be walking dogs but I'll be sure that they get adequate food and water before , during and after walks so that your pet stays happy and healthy
“Ashley has been great, she stepped up when another sitter had let us down. She did made sure to keep in contact with us during our trip and was very friendly and easy to communicate with.”
“This was the second time we asked Renee to watch our Aussie shepherd, Oliver, while we were on vacation outside the country. He loves her and Renee really takes care of Oliver as we would. Before we even book a vacation, we check Renee's schedule and make sure she is available. We were really confident during our vacation that Oliver was receiving spa treatment at home and loving every second of it. We have known Renee for the last couple of years and we consider her a good friend. We trust her with our home and Oliver. Renee takes lots of photos and videos, so we get plenty of updates and feedback on the hour to hour activities of Oliver. We highly recommend Renee. She is the best.”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! She stayed in our home for a week while we were on vacation and took amazing care of our French Bulldog, Tomas. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in his own environment with someone who truly cared for him. She kept us updated with messages and photos, followed all of Tomas’s routine and instructions, and treated our home with respect. We came home to a happy, relaxed dog and a house that was just as clean as when we left. It’s clear she genuinely loves animals, and Tomas was comfortable and well cared for the entire time. We would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and responsible pet sitter.”
“This is the first time we go for a long trip and leave our babies with someone else than a family member. Mariah was very kind and took good care of our babies, and definitely was a blessing to them.”

About: 小红书: CAT Tree猫猫寄养舍 Instagram: cattree_lovecats Welcome to Cartree Family Cat Boarding! 1. I only onboard cats and do not have any dogs. 2. I built individual rooms with toys, cat tree, litter box for each onboarding cat. 3. I provide customized and individualized care for each onboarding cat. 4. Each cat will live in an assigned room to avoid cat fights for the best safety. 5. I will take pictures of each cat and actively share any update with the owners. 6. Owners only need to bring their cat’s food — we provide everything else (litter, litter box, bowls, toys, and basic cat supplies). In a new environment, it’s best for cats to keep eating what they’re used to. CAT Tree Daily Care Routine • Morning (around 8:00 AM): We start the day by feeding the cats and doing a quick health and wellness check. We lightly clean the rooms, offer some playtime or cuddles for socialization, and tidy up litter boxes or pet areas as needed. Each room also receives a full deep cleaning and disinfection once a week. • Midday: We provide a second feeding, check in on each cat, engage them with enrichment activities to keep them mentally and physically stimulated, and send updates — including photos, videos, and a brief report — to the owner. • Evening: We feed the cats a third time and do a final clean-up to ensure all spaces are clean, cozy, and ready for a peaceful night. I’ve specially built 4 individual small rooms and reserved 2 bedroom to care for the cats in my care. My goal is to create a personalized space for each cat, providing a safe and comfortable boarding environment with individualized attention, ensuring that every cat enjoys unique love and tranquility.

Madison was great with my two girls and I would want her to doggie-sit any time I need help!!! She was prompt, on-time, took great care of the house and kept texting updates on how she and the girls were doing. I highly recommend Madison to anyone needing a house/dog sitter!

The average cost of House Sitting in Woodlands is $134 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $121 and $175 per night.

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 Woodlands 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 Woodlands 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 Woodlands 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Woodlands. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% 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.
