“Andrea is incredibly attentive and always puts me at ease while I'm away! She sends adorable pictures of my kitty, sends updates every day and I can tell when I get home that she's been treated like a queen. So grateful to have someone I can trust looking after my home and my girl!”
“This is our second time using Adam. My dogs were very excited to see him return. I have 2 very high drive, competition dogs who need a lot of stimulation and exercise. They also have special diets. Adam had everything under control. House was spotless when we returned. Highly recommend Dawn/Adam.”
“Catie was wonderful with my fur babies. I truly appreciated the daily pictures and regular updates she sent. She was a pleasure to work with and I would absolutely use her services again.”
“Jalyne just watched our dog for the second time and continues to be our go-to! She got our anxious gal through a thunderstorm, was so communicative and even washed and folded her sheets. She’s a gem. Thank you Jaylyne!!”
“This was our second time booking with Jacqueline, and once again she took wonderful care of our dog and cat. She was communicative, reliable, and gave us great peace of mind throughout our trip. We especially appreciated her flexibility when our return flight was significantly delayed—she was willing to adjust her schedule to make sure our pets were well cared for. We came home to happy pets and a well-cared-for home. We’d gladly book with Jacqueline again and highly recommend her!”
“I’m not kidding, I’m tempted to gatekeep but won’t because Alyssa deserves all the love and dog jobs in the world. Seriously, best dog sitter ever. Thoughtful, sent daily summaries and photos, my reactive dog was so HAPPY!!! I feel truly lucky to have found her. 10/10. She is the best. Will rebook again and again and again as long as she wants to keep watching pups.”
“Theo did an excellent job taking care of our cats. We booked him to house sit our two cats while we were away for nine days. He followed all of our instructions, and we came home to happy cats. He has a deep understanding of cat psychology, and he spent a ton of time interacting with our cats. We really appreciate him going above and beyond and will be booking him again!”
“Antonio was a wonderful babysitter for my two puppies. One of my dogs has severe separation anxiety, and Antonio was incredibly attentive and patient with him. He kept me consistently updated throughout the day, was very communicative, and shared plenty of pictures, which gave me great peace of mind. At the end of the visit, he even offered helpful tips that I truly appreciated as a first-time dog owner. I would absolutely recommend him.”
About: I’m an animal-lover and proud pawrent of 13 years with experience caring for all kinds of dogs with all kinds of personalities (even the occasional cat). Whether you need frequent walkings, short to long-term sittings, or the occasional drop-in, I’ll make sure that your doggo feels loved, cared for, and most importantly, knows they’re a good girl or boy ❤️. I am currently a student and work part-time at my school during the academic year. In the summertime, I have open availability. During the academic year, I create a flexible schedule allowing for adequate time to focus on pet care. I like to meet dogs where they are at while applying safety awareness. I focus on identifying triggers for reactive furry friends. I also implement safeguards to ensure the security and safety of our furry friends.
“Tenielle went above and beyond during her stay with our pup! She sent the cutest photos each day, and even handled some emergency home repairs in our absence. Our house and dog were in great hands!”
“We are so grateful to have found our furever sitter Lina! Lina stayed at our home for a week keeping our dogs safe, well exercised and happy. She volunteered to take them out on fun excursions and walks. She asked us insightful questions in order to get a full understanding of their needs and set our expectations. She’s so thoughtful and responsible and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She was sure to include photos on a daily basis along with updates. We highly recommend Lina!”
“Becky was amazing as a live-in cat sitter for my elderly cat!! She was able to give him pills and inhalers easily. She sent me frequent updates and left my home spotless. Can’t recommend enough!!”
“Belkys was amazing! Our first time leaving our elderly dog with a sitter for so long, so we were nervous at first. So glad we chose Belkys- she did such a great job keeping us updating and making sure our pup was well taken care of. Would definitely book again”
“This is the second time we had Izabela stay with our pets and she did a fantastic job once again! She is so loving towards them and is really quick with communicating with us which is a huge plus. Not to mention she leaves my home cleaner than I left it😍 You should definitely pick Izabela as your pet sitter if you want someone to treat your pets & home like their own (:”
“Ypsi was very kind and professional. She got us out of a bind as my other sitter had a conflict at short notice. My dog is experiencing separation anxiety, so right now she’s not the easiest to care for and I appreciated that Ypsi was patient and willing to sit with her.”
About: Hello I’m Diana! Im 23 and I’m a recent graduate from SUNY Delhi. I’ve graduated with my associates in environmental studies and my bachelors in sustainability! I have a huge love for all animals and it has always been my dream to work with them. I’ve been walking dogs since I was 10 and started working with pets in more professional settings when I was 14. I am certified in pet first aid in case of any emergency, fear free certified, and I’m trained in giving all types of medications. I’m also have experience in grooming, training, and in the animal care of 30+ animals (any pets ranging from saltwater fish to guinea pigs to birds!) . I would be honored to play with your pets and give them endless amounts of love. Im currently home for the summer and have tons of free time on my hands! when caring for your pet they will have all my time and dedication :) I care for a senior dog at home who is very laid back and doesn’t really need much. When caring for a pet in someone else’s home I want to make sure i’m keeping up with each pets needs. whether it be going on a run with a high energy pet or relaxing on the couch with a more laid back pet!
About: I truly adore spending time with animals, making them feel cozy, happy and loved, like they just scored unlimited belly rubs and treats. Every pet becomes family! I work part-time on weekdays, so I’m available in the mornings after 8:30 AM and afternoons until 4:30 PM. On weekends, I’m available full-time to give pets all the attention and care they need. I treat every home with respect and follow the owner’s instructions carefully. I ensure pets are safe, comfortable and happy, giving them love, attention and lots of cuddles while maintaining a clean and calm environment.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Woodlands
Madison took phenomenal care of our cat Romeo when we were out of town. She made us feel at ease that Romeo was well taken care of and receiving great care and plenty of love. She sent lots of pictures and was sure to ask questions whenever needed. We would undoubtably rebook with Madison for our next time out of town!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Woodlands on Rover is $72.15 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 18,383 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Woodlands. 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 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 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 Woodlands. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
