“Sitter was great. Used them for some time and you can really tell when you get home and your pet isn’t bouncing off the walls. She even came a day early when we had a friend that couldn’t stop by. Booked her on short notice and lots of photos which my kids loved. Thank you.”
“Janine was great! I loved that she shared updates and pictures. She came to check in on Magnus for me when I had to go to an all day training and my partner was out of town. I know Magnus loved breaking up his quiet day with Janine.”
“Robyn kept in touch daily, kept our cat happy and well cared for, let us know about a power outage, and got our mail in when our requested hold did not occur. She followed our instructions. We are happy with her care for our home and cat.”
About: We’ve always had dogs and cats growing up, so pet have always been a regular part of my everyday life! I know that sometimes this little things like walks or consistent feeding schedules can be the hardest part of having a pet! Allow me to take that weight from your shoulders! I have extensive experience with large dogs and puppies as well! I regularly housesit for homes with multiple animals and multiple species; dogs, cats, fish, bunnies, gerbils, and hamsters too! I’m currently working part time, but planning and scheduling are important to me. I am more often available in the mornings any day of the week. I value being consistent and reliable so I will only post availability that I’m sure will work! I will make sure to bring your pet everywhere with me! Clingy pets are my bread and butter! I have no problem hanging out as long as needed to always have an eye on your pets when they are in my care.
About: I am comfortable caring for dogs of different ages, energy levels, and sizes. Every dog has their different personality, routine, and needs, so I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I am a college student attending campus once a week with a very flexible part time work schedule. I can easily plan around pet care and provide consistent, reliable care that fits each pet's needs. I prioritize safety, comfort, and clear communication with every pet in my care. I follow each pet's routine and any instructions provided by their owner. I provide plenty of supervision, attention, exercise, and affection so pets feel safe and cared for while their parents are away.
“Samantha was a great repeat walker for us! AlaHs responsive, and she followed my pedantic neighborhood dog rules to a T (again lol I'm so sorry but great work), avoiding the houses she had to avoid, etc. I would trust her again!”
“Arrived home to a very happy cat thanks to Fallon! I appreciated that she was able to come by ahead of time for a meet and greet and loved all the photos of my cat from her visit.”
About: I’ve taken care of animals nearly my whole life. I got my first dog at 8 years old and cared for him for 17 years. I love animals of all sizes, breeds, and do not discriminate! Friends and coworkers trusted their babies to me for as long as 2 weeks or as short as 2 hours. I’m currently walking with a cane, but that doesn’t stop me from walking your babies or simply keeping them company! Whatever I can do for your animal, let me know. I always look for instructions left by parents and follow whatever daily routines your animal is accustomed to. I love playing with pets and taking them around walks the neighborhood.
“Holly did an amazing job with our French Bulldog! She had great communication the entire time, met all expectations and were confident our dog was in good hands. Would definitely use Holly in the future!”
“Bria went above and beyond for my orange tabby cowboy. Cowboy has been known to be a little skittish with new people, but somehow Bria made it work and actually became very friendly with my pet.”
“Here’s another option with a slightly different tone: Emma did a wonderful job taking care of my pet. Communication was quick and consistent, and she was always very responsive whenever I had a question or update. I felt confident leaving my pet in her care and appreciated the updates while I was away. I would absolutely book with her again and recommend her to others!!!”
“Lauren did an amazing job looking after our senior kitty while we were away. She always kept us updated, was quick to respond to messages, and sent lots of cute photos every visit. She was very accommodating throughout the entire process and our minds were at ease knowing our cat was in good hands. I would definitely recommend her!”
“My first time using Jules and DEFINITELY NOT my last. Jules was responsive and interactive with both of my dogs. She played with Roman and rubbed Coco like the princess she is. We will be booking again.”
“Bito is hands-down terrific! Really went above and beyond. Clearly won over the hearts of our cats, and even convinced our shy recluse to allow some pets — very impressed! I would trust Bito to cat sit or house sit without any reservation whatsoever. Highly recommend without any reservation whatsoever. Bito left my house cleaner than when I left for vacation, and watered my plants too :)”
“I am very pleased with the service received for Kash. He was well taken care of and notifications and pictures of him on a daily were appreciated. I will definitely be booking Shakiyla again for any pet services needed in the future. Thank you 😊”

I cannot stop talking about how great Helen is, really. Coda is going through his teenage year and he can be a handful but Helen is so good at what she does that she has brought different toys to redirect Coda's overly excitment and has reached out to us on how to best deal with his jumping. I am so greatful that we found Helen. Codas just loves her so much.
Amanda took such good care of our pets while we were away that they seemed disappointed that we had returned. I really think they were waiting for her to come back and spoil them. Amanda could not have been more professional, dependable, and attentive. She sent pictures and kept us informed about her visits. We are very picky when it comes to caring for our pets. Amanda exceeded all expectations. She is the best! Thank you Amanda!
Mia was fantastic! She was super easy to coordinate with and came for a quick meet and greet before the scheduled time, so we were easily on the same page. Besides taking great care of my cat's basic needs, she spent time and clearly did a great job giving some social/play time. I could tell when I got home from my trip my cat was calm and relaxed and not dealing with any separation issues. Would 100% recommend Mia!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Woodlawn is $21 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $43 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 8,072 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Woodlawn. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Woodlawn. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
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.
