“I’m so thankful for finding Hailey! This was my very first time leaving Luna ,my dog, and my home under someone else’s care and I couldn’t have chosen better! Luna was extremely comfortable with Hailey, as soon as she walked through the door Luna liked her. Her schedule was followed without issues and she even took her on long walks. Luna didn’t miss a single meal and I could tell she was happy and calm in every picture. She even put her hoodie on during colder days. My home was in good hands as well. It was so clean and tidy it didn’t even look like someone was staying there! Being our first time doing this, me and my husband were very nervous but Hailey sent us updates and pictures as often as she could and that allowed us to enjoy our trip. As dog owners, we look for someone who would treat your dog as their own and that’s exactly what Hailey did! I can confidently say I will keep coming to back to her every time I need my home or my dog taken care of! Thank you Hailey!”
“Great communication and I could tell from what they were saying about Roger that he was well taken care of and they were truly spending time with him. Will definitely book them again!”
“Chris did an amazing job making my dogs feel comfortable with his presence and their routines. Our shepherd can be a little apprehensive of new people but he was licking Chris's face by day two. Also, upon our arrival home I could hardly tell that there was anyone new in our home. I will be a repeat customer of Chris's and I highly recommend his pet sitting services.”
“Alanna is so good with Murphy! I think their energy levels match each other! Alanna is very active and is always doing fun activities with Murphy! I look forward to having Alanna back!”
About: I grew up with both dogs and cats and have years of hands-on experience caring for them. From high-energy dogs who need long walks to laid-back cats who just want attention and consistency. I’m confident handling different personalities and needs. I’m reliable, attentive, and committed to keeping your pet safe and comfortable. Working part time at Publix so pretty much on my off days i can stop by and check on the pets when you need me I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs to keep your pet company. I provide a safe, supervised environment and can crate your dog if needed. I always follow your pet’s routine, keep their space clean, and make sure they feel comfortable and secure.
“Gina was responsive when I reached out and my pup seemed happy when I returned home. House was clean and tidy so no complaints there. Didn't really have a whole lot of communication while I was away so am assuming all was good!”
“Zeina was amazing. Great communication, great feed back, and she did wonderfully with our animals, which is not easy! Our dog is.... weird about new people, and by the end of her time with him she was giving pets to both the dog and the cat (who is also quite standoffish). She spent so much time making sure that they were comfortable and keeping us up to date. 10/10 would call again. You just can't go wrong with Zeina!”
About: I’ve grown up with a minimum of 5 pets in my house at all times, cats, dogs, guinea pigs, etc. and I love them all to death. I’m extremely passionate about caring for animals and am in school right now studying to work with them when I’m older. I have worked at a few doggy daycare and boarding facilities and they have been my most favorite jobs ever! I’ve also done petsitting and dog-walking for numerous other families that have trusted me and I’d love to help you out! I will ensure your pets safety and wellbeing above all else! I currently am in class 4 days a week, (12-6 MW, 9-3 T/TH), but I am available at any other time during the week and on most weekends! I take dogs on multiple walks a day, and have a dog park in my apartment complex. I have one cat but she stays in my room with me, but I can also move her if necessary! If I am visiting your home, you can trust that I will be respectful of your space and spend plenty of time with your pet!
About: I’ve always had dogs my whole life, I currently have a Pitt Bull Mix. The majority of my experience is with medium to large dogs, but I love all of them. I have plenty of experience with dogs! I grew up with dogs and I’ve had plenty in my life. Right now I have a very high energy Pitt Bull mix and she’s very spoiled! But, like my grandpa says, “a spoiled dog is a good dog.” I have a very high energy dog, who would love a playmate! She’s very loving and friendly! She would do well with a friendly and playful dog.
About: My friends and siblings all travel very frequently so I have found myself taking care of their pets for up to 3 weeks at a time and love it! I am a graduate student but my schedule is incredibly flexible. For that reason, I am available for early mornings, evenings and weekends. If needed, I can also be available during the day! I do not have any pets currently living in my home so there is no worry about whether our pets would be friends. Along with caring for animals, I have also been a nanny for about 8 years now so I know how to be respectful of one’s home and their pets!
About: Hi! I'm Susanna, and by day two I'm usually besties with your pet. When I'm not spending time with animals, I'm a graduate student in landscape architecture and currently interning at Watermark Landscape Architecture and Land Planning. I love being outdoors, staying active, and connecting with nature—which is one of the reasons I love caring for pets. Whether your dog enjoys a leisurely stroll or needs to burn off energy with a run, I'm happy to match their pace (I'll always go the extra block for them!). I live right by the Ecusta Trail, so daily walks are already part of my routine. I'm friendly, responsible, reliable, and will treat your pet like one of my own. I currently have a 4-year-old indoor/outdoor cat, and I grew up with dogs, so I know how much they become part of the family. I miss having dogs around and would love the chance to get to know yours! I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I'm happy to follow any care instructions to help them feel comfortable while you're away. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands. My schedule is very flexible. I'm available before 9:00 a.m. and after 5:00 p.m. on weekdays, and I'm generally available throughout the weekends. I'd love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family—I can't wait to become your pet's new favorite friend! Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I already structure my day around being active and spending time outdoors. On weekdays, I’m typically available early in the morning before 9 a.m. and again in the evenings after 5 p.m., which works well for consistent walks, feedings, and check-ins. I like starting and ending my day outside, so incorporating dog walks or cat care visits into those times feels very natural and enjoyable for me. Living near the Ecusta Trail also makes it easy for me to take dogs on longer, enriching walks as part of my regular routine. As a graduate student, my schedule is flexible, and I’m able to plan my day around pet care commitments. On weekends, I generally have open availability, which allows me to provide more extended visits, extra walks, or more time for pets who need additional attention. Since I already care for my own cat daily, pet care is not something I “fit in”—it’s already part of how I live. I’m used to being consistent, attentive, and responsible with feeding schedules, litter box care, exercise, and companionship. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine consistent and stress-free by closely following all instructions for feeding, walks, litter box care, medication, and any special needs. For dogs, I provide walks and exercise based on their energy level, whether that’s relaxed neighborhood strolls or longer outings on nearby trails. I prioritize safety, attention, and positive interaction. For cats, I take a calm, patient approach and adjust to their personality—some want play and attention, while others prefer quiet space. I always ensure they have fresh food and water, clean litter boxes, and a comfortable environment. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and well-being and communicate regularly with updates and photos so owners feel confident and at ease while away. My goal is to care for every pet as thoughtfully as I would my own.
About: Hi! I have loved all sorts of animals since I was born, and have had years of experience with my own dogs and cats. I also currently have two red eyed tree frogs! I would be thrilled and honored to take care of your beloved animals. I am currently a college student, so my late mornings/afternoons are relatively busy. I can attend to your pet in the early morning and any time after 5pm. My weekends are generally free. When I am visiting your pet, I will be sure to respect their boundaries and take my time getting acquainted with them. I am currently unable to take care of your pet in my home.
About: What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give every dog. I understand that each pup has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, so I take the time to learn what makes them feel safe and happy. I’m dependable, attentive, and will treat your dog like my own—with plenty of walks, playtime, cuddles, and regular photo updates so you can relax while you’re away. Pet care is my full-time job, so my schedule is flexible and centered around your pets. I'm available throughout the week & weekends to give your fur babies plenty of love, attention, playtime, and dependable care whenever they need me! I care for every pet as if they were my own while carefully following your instructions and maintaining their normal routine! I prioritize safety by securing doors, monitoring food and water, while providing plenty of attention. I'll also respect your home and send regular photo updates so you can feel confident that your babies are safe, happy and loved!
“Austin was great! I planned a last-minute trip on a holiday weekend and he was able to accommodate me, including the trip getting cut short. He took great care of my dog and my home. He'll be my first call next time I need someone!”
About: Hi my name is Abby Laderoute! I’m currently a student at UGA. I grew up in a household with lots of dogs and I have been pet sitting for other people since my freshman year of highschool. I’ve also taken care of a 4 month old puppy. I’m currently a UGA student so my schedule is relatively open. Of course it changes semester to semester but I like to have a reasonable amount of time. I’m also usually camping about 1 weekend a month! I live in a classic suburban style neighborhood with a backyard for the dog to run around in. My neighborhood also has a large park for dogs to play around in. Within the house Its just me and my older brother. We like to keep things safe and organized.
About: A lifelong love of animals has led to me learning how best to care for them from a young age. I'll make sure your pets feel happy, comfortable and safe! I have experience with dogs, cats, horses, chickens, turkeys, and guinea pigs, and I'm willing to work with all animals except arachnids and insects. I wake up at around 8 every day and go to bed around 11, and I can adjust pretty easily if I need to be up earlier or later. I can mold my schedule to another routine very easily (and enjoy doing so!) and working with animals fills me with so much joy that doing the best job possible is barely a job at all. I'll meet your pet where they're at. If they don't want to be sociable, that's fine! I'll make sure they're fed and have water and they can come to me in their own time. If they want to be attached to the hip from moment one, I love that too.
About: I have always had a pet for as long as I can remember and I have loved them all dearly and enjoyed their company and taking care of them. Friends have had me check in on and care for their pets while they are busy with school or work. I enjoy meeting pets of all sizes and breeds and giving them the care and love I would give to my own pets. I am currently working toward my Master’s at the University of Georgia in Exercise Science. A typical day consists of me going to my internship for a couple of hours, class, and then internship again in the evening for a couple more hours. I have plenty of free time in the morning and afternoon to hangout by the pool, workout, do homework, or take care of some furry friends! I make sure to respect every client's home and belongings when providing care to pets. I aim to make sure the space is clean and am happy to clean up any pet related accidents. I provide high-quality care to any pet and make sure to follow instructions correctly.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Woodlands
Sara was a top notch house sitter. She was super responsive, communicative, thoughtful, and flexible. She took very attentive care of my critters and kept me updated on how they were doing along the way. I felt very comfortable that they were in good hands the whole time I was gone. Highly recommend!
Heaven was fantastic! She was very communicative and kept us updated with pictures throughout our time away. It was clear that she genuinely cared for our dogs and treated them like her own. She even left them a sweet little gift at the end, which was such a thoughtful touch! We’ll definitely be using her again!

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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
