“We couldn't be happier with Bridgette! From the start, she was warm, friendly, and incredibly responsive, always quick to communicate and give us peace of mind while we were away. What really set her apart was when she went out of her way to stop by our home outside of her scheduled visits to check on something for us. That kind of dedication is truly above and beyond what we expected. Most importantly, our dogs absolutely adored her. Animals don't lie, and the way our girls immediately took to Bridgette told us everything we needed to know. We'll definitely be booking with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring pet sitter!”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Wonderful experience! She was punctual, responsive, and took excellent care of my dogs. She kept me updated throughout both visits, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. I really appreciated her professionalism and attentiveness. I would absolutely recommend her and happily book with her again!”
“So pleased. Came back to find my dogs happier than ever to see me, but they were calm and relaxed. I will use Dawn again. What a good feeling to have a caring person watch your pets in their own home. Loved the picture updates!”
“Brandy took the job last minute which I greatly appreciate. On top of taking care of the pups as requested, she also took our packages and mail inside which was so helpful because I was out all day through the night and we had a bunch of Christmas stuff delivered.”
“Alicia was absolutely amazing, and I will definitely be using her again in the future! She provided drop-in visits for my dog throughout the day and exceeded my expectations in every way. Her communication was excellent from start to finish. She kept me updated during each visit and sent plenty of photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. Most importantly, she took the time to make my dog feel comfortable and cared for, and it was clear from the photos and updates that my dog was happy and well looked after. You can truly tell that Alicia is passionate about what she does and genuinely cares about the pets in her care. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and professional pet sitter.”
“Chelsea did a great job with our cats. Arrived home to a clean and tidy kitchen and litter boxes. She is a good communicator and we enjoyed the pictures she sent. We recommend her as a terrific sitter!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Woodlawn
Bridgette is absolutely wonderful! From the first message, she was very friendly, kind and so easy to communicate with. She took such a great care of our girl Mia doing multiple visits to our home and letting her out, making sure she had plenty of play time and was ready for a treat and a nap after! Can’t recommend Bridgette enough!!
Gillian was great with our golden retriever! We had to be out of town for the day and she helped us out, even though we reached out last minute. She was very communicative and timely. She sent us lots of pictures of our boy and texted me each time she left our house. I definitely recommend her to anyone in need of a pet sitter!
We had to book last minute and Anna was very accommodating. She is always punctual and takes such good care of our animals, they love her! Communicates frequently and takes the best pictures during the visits for our updates. 100% recommend and we will always use her for our pets.
Dawn did an amazing job with my dog and she really saved me on short notice when I didn't have someone to watch him last week! He loved her and she took great care of him and I highly recommend her service because not only is she great with animals she is an extremely kind person in general. She left me with zero anxiety about the safety of my dog Apollo. If your in need of a short or long term sitter or your pets I'd highly recommend her services!
Lizzy is AMAZING!! I myself have been a Rover Sitter and my expectations were high and she BLEW THEM OUT OF THE WATER. My puppies are high energy and we were still waiting for our fence to be built so I was nervous but they could NOT have been happier and so many pets and love. I felt at ease and for the first time on vacation relaxed!!! Lizzy is wonderful and you and your pets deserve to enjoy your time!!!
Lauren has been absolutely wonderful! She is on time always and keeps me updated on my pups' potty events. In all honestly, I watched the first entire encounter on the Ring camera, not bc of her necessarily but bc one of my dogs CAN be an asshole. Now, I dont even look at the camera at all, my dogs love her and she re-directs them with ease as needed. Thanks Lauren, I am so glad you came into our lives :)

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Woodlawn is $18 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $7 and $31 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 2,730 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:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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.
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.
