“This is the 2nd time Audra has watched our dogs in our home. The dogs love having her here and it’s a relief that someone is home with them while we are away! We will definitely be asking Audra to house/pet sit again!”
“Very kind, gentle, loving sitter! She always sent us pictures and updates and we felt very at ease with Ashley caring for our 3 large dogs. So glad there shenanigans didn't bother her or she was too nice to say anything. Highly recommend !”
About: Hi! I’m Christian, I’m 26 years old, and I recently got out of the Marine Corps. I’m currently in college preparing for my next career, and I’m looking for part-time work doing something I genuinely enjoy—taking care of animals. I’ve had both dogs and cats my entire life, so caring for pets has always been second nature to me. I know every pet has their own personality and routine, and I’m happy to adapt to whatever helps them feel comfortable and happy. Whether it’s going for walks, playing fetch, giving belly rubs, sticking to a feeding schedule, or just keeping them company, I’ll make sure they get the attention and care they deserve. The Marine Corps taught me to be reliable, responsible, and punctual, and I bring those qualities with me into everything I do. You can count on me to treat your pets like they’re my own and to keep you updated with messages and photos so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands. I’d love the chance to meet you and your pets, and I look forward to helping however I can! I’m currently attending an online school so my schedule is reasonably open. Generally, I am available up to 20 hours a week whenever needed with few exceptions. The care I give your pets depends entirely upon your preferences. I am happy to give all the attention or as little as your pet needs/wants. I have a lot of experience with animals of all dispositions and if your cat or dog likes their personal space I’m happy to just keep an eye on them while they do their thing.
“Our family has a senior dog, Mr. Barkley, and I can't stress enough how important he is to us. In the past, he has been really upset about being left behind when we leave on a trip, so I was quite nervous about being gone for a whole week. I'm so glad that we met Laura and that she was able to stay at our house caring for him. He has specific medications and feedings that need to be given at various times as well as mobility issues that require certain walk times and patience. In addition to showing great kindness and affection to our sweet boy, she was able to accommodate his needs, made it clear she understood the plan with questions before we left and kept us in the loop with photos and updates throughout our absence. When we came home, the house was perfect and Mr. Barkley was content. We feel comfortable asking her help in the future which makes traveling much more enjoyable!”
“Chloe did a super job, pet and house-sitting while we were away. We had daily contact and she readily answered any questions or concerns. We are so grateful to know our pets were well cared for while we were away!!! Thank you Chloe!”
“I was totally amazed and relieved with Christina. She took care of my 11 years old dog, Jack, who has been stressed because of a recent move, in my home. As soon as she arrived, he could tell she was an animal lover. His anxiety went away, and he just enjoyed being loved on by her. My 16 year old cat responded to her the same way. Usually aloof, MooShu shared the love too. Christina was happy, helpful and engaged. She took Jack on walks. She cleaned my house! She watered my plants. She sent pictures and communicated very well. She put me totally at ease and I felt secure leaving my sweet pets with her. I was thrilled. I did not have to take them to a place with which they were not familiar and I knew that instead of being anxious all week, they would have fun and be loved on. When I got home, they were more relaxed than they have been since the move. Christina has a special gift with animals and I am so grateful for her.”
“Bethany (Betsy) stayed with my two dogs for over a week. They were happy and loved the entire time. We came back to better trained dogs with suggestions on which things to continue. The night I came home I had to call their “new mom” to find out what the picky dog was eating. I think my big dog is ready to just go live with her. He looks disappointed we are home. I will use Betzy again and I recommend her to anyone who loves their dogs but needs a sitter.”

“Madison is a fantastic dog sitter! My three dogs can be a handful sometimes, but Madison was enthusiastic to care for them and kept me updated with photos throughout the house sitting stay. I travel quite a bit and it feels great to know that my babies are in trusted hands. I highly recommend Madison! :)”
“Veronica was excellent! Super thankful she was able to watch our Charlie and house sit for us for a week. She was very responsive and handled everything really well. Charlie loved her! Will definitely book again.”
“Brandon and Catherine are great! They stayed at our home and watched our two dogs for over 10 days. We got daily updates with pictures! We have older dogs so they need to be let out more often and given medications. They were able to do this with no issues. My dogs were very relaxed when we arrived home. I highly recommend them and will be using them in the future.”
About: My name is Tiaundra. I am a professional house manager/nanny and pet sitter. I have over 10 years of experience. I offer pet feeding/care, mail collection, plant care, trash & recycling services etc. I would absolutely love to care for your fur baby! I’m sure I’ll be adding more fur babies to the schedule shortly! I understand that it can be hard to trust someone with your lovely babies and property. That is why I am dedicated to providing high quality service that you can count on. With me, you can rest assured knowing your pet and home are in great hands. I look forward to hearing from you and helping keep your home and fur baby safe. Thank you for your time! I currently only work 4-6 hours a few days a week therefore I have ample time to care for and snuggle with all the fur babies. At this time I am only accepting pet sitting at the clients home. This may change in the near future however at the moment I do not offer pet sitting in my home.
“This is the second time Maddie has stayed at our home and watched our energetic puppy. She stayed in touch with us and even sent us a photo. She is professional, kind, and loves our dog. She will be here a few more times this year.”
“Jay was great with my little Pomeranian JJ. It was the first time we used a sitter for our pup. We had a wedding so it was a long day / evening. Stephanie, Jays wife came along also. We were at a hotel but JJ was comfortable with both of them as soon as they walked in. I knew he was in good hands and had no worries. Jay sent pics and updates. I highly recommend both Jay or Stephanie.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Woodlawn on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

As of August 2026, there are 85 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Woodlawn. 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 Woodlawn 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 Woodlawn 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 Woodlawn 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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
