“We had a wonderful experience with our dog sitter. She was incredibly responsive and communicative throughout our time away, which gave us real peace of mind. We loved receiving daily photos and updates, and it was clear our dogs were well cared for and comfortable. She also left our home clean and tidy, which we really appreciated. We’re very grateful for her care and would happily book with her again.”
“Ray was wonderful with our dog and took great care of both her and our home. Communication throughout the stay was excellent — we received thoughtful updates, honest notes about how things were going, and clear follow-ups at the end. Our dog can be a little hesitant in bad weather and new situations, and Ray was patient, attentive, and proactive in giving her plenty of opportunities, encouragement, and affection. It was clear she was comfortable, well-exercised, and genuinely cared for. Ray also went above and beyond making sure everything was clean and handled before leaving. We came home to a happy pup and a well-kept house, which is exactly what you hope for. We’d absolutely trust Ray again and would happily recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter.”
“Kerely took outstanding care of our dog, Gracie. Our dog is a recent rescue and has anxiety issues on occasion. Kerely sent us really cute pictures of Gracie that showed how happy Gracie was, and sent us regular texts. There was a thunderstorm while we were gone, and Kerely exercised excellent judgment in helping Gracie through it. Kerely also was very thoughtful in how she took care of our house while we were gone. We would definitely ask Kerely to do this again!”
About: As an active-duty Soldier and lifelong animal lover, I understand the importance of reliability and trust. I've cared for my own dogs and have pet sat for friends, providing walks, feeding, playtime, fresh water, and lots of attention. I also volunteer with local animal shelters by taking dogs on "doggy day trips," giving them exercise, socialization, and enrichment outside the shelter. I treat every pet as if they were my own and will always make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I'm an active-duty Soldier, so my schedule is structured and dependable. I'm generally available on evenings, weekends, holidays, and during approved leave. When I commit to caring for your pet, you can count on me to arrive on time, follow their routine, and provide the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. I'll always communicate with you and send photo updates so you can have peace of mind while you're away. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I understand that every pet has unique needs, so I'll carefully follow your care instructions, including feeding schedules, medications if needed, walks, playtime, and any special routines. I always make sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure, and I'll treat your home with the same respect I would my own. I'll provide regular photo and text updates so you always know your pet is safe, loved, and well cared for.
“Joshua was very communicative and sent lots of pics updating me on my 2 pups days. He was available last minute during a holiday and was very easy to coordinate with. He was super sweet with my pups, even the old grouchy one liked him.”
“Jeannie is wonderful. She provides great communication and is super clean. My pups love her which helps me feel at ease when I have to travel. Thank you for all you do Jeannie!”
“Dana was great. She sent regular updates and photos of my dogs. She took good care of them, including the medicine that they required while she was sitting with them. Highly recommend her.”
“Another great care of our animals by Lenny - house sitting and dogs/cats care. All the animals really love her, especially the dogs and 1 cat. She sends regular updates and photos twice a day. Great communicator too! Very happy!”
“This was our second time having Hieu and Anna stay with our two dogs. They communicate well, often, and with a great sense of humor. We would not hesitate to recommend them or book them again.”
“I cannot recommend Leah enough! My dog, Sisa, is reactive, and I’m always nervous about how she’ll handle walks with someone new. [Sitter's Name] navigated her reactivity with total confidence and skill, keeping her safe and calm throughout the week. More importantly, she was incredibly sweet and loving toward Sisa, sending me the best photo updates of her looking happy and relaxed. It provided such immense peace of mind while I was away. Truly a rare find!”
“Odette kept our pups safe and happy during a heatwave and was so respectful of our house while we were away. She was easy to reach throughout the week. She went above and beyond to take care of the pups and house.”
“Sarah was wonderful! She was communicative, offered to do a pre-sit visit to meet my dog and tour the home. I received photos, daily updates, and I never once felt worried while I was away. If you’re looking for a professional, tidy, pet-loving sitter, she’s IT! We hope to have her back soon.”
About: I always lived in a house with dogs or cats. I’ve taken care of dogs large and small. I worked as a volunteer with therapy horses in middle school as a sidewalker and groomer. Additionally have taken care of chickens and rats from a young age. I am often times pet sitting a special needs (blind) greyhound. I currently am working a part time jobs where I build my own schedule. I am a dance teacher who leaves early in the morning for morning classes and then am usually free in the afternoons for the rest of the day. I am often able to add extra tasks in my day with this flexibility. I treat other people’s space with respect. Will clean up any mess/debris right away. I will keep your fur baby company and can provide much enrichment and love.
“Romy took great care of our dogs, Luna and Zuri, during a housesitting booking. Her communication is great and she is always thinking ahead, so she was well prepared for our booking. Luna takes medication several times per day and Zuri is a pandemic pup who loves attention, and Romy met their needs extremely well. Our dogs absolutely love her and we are so grateful to have found her. Don’t hesitate to book with Romy! She is thorough, organized, and very responsive.”

Jeana takes such great care of our pups! We have 3 dogs who range in age from a puppy to a senior, who each have their own quirky personalities, and who collectively can be a bit of a handful. Jeana is attentive to their unique needs and is thoughtful in the care she provides. She is reliable; shares regular updates and great photos; and leaves the house tidy. We know our pups are safe and happy when with Jeana. We can't say enough good things about her!
McKenna is amazing. I almost don't want to write this review because I don't want others to get in the way of me having access to her when I need her! She's amazing with my dog and so attentive to keeping my house just like she found it. Sometimes cleaner! I will always attempt to book her first whenever I have needs for dog sitting.
Outstanding care for our two boys. Dana took care to make sure our dog’s schedules were not disrupted and made sure they had plenty of love and cuddles. Dana was very communicative and kept me updated on walks, scheduled activities and if there was anything she wanted to double check on she asked. I would highly recommend here for pet sitting and for walks.
Auston and Kaitlyn our lifesavers. They were able to take care of our lovely cats and dogs complete with a lot of special care needed for a couple of our four legged friends. They were able to juggle our needs with everything going on in their life and we were just blessed to find them. I would highly recommend them for your daily pet care or overnight.
Miranda is the BEST! I used her for in home care to give my pup a little bit more of a stable environment while I was on some travel for work. She gave him the best care and he was clearly very happy during her stay. Although I had a hectic schedule, she kept me super informed, and I would happily have her back again. Huge thanks and highly recommend!

FAQs for House Sitting - Woodlawn
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Woodlawn on Rover is $54.39 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 9,594 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.

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.
