“Zamiya was absolutely outstanding, very communicative and took wonderful care of my fur baby. I will definitely book with her again!!! I never had to wonder how my baby was doing because she kept me updated with pics and videos which I loved because I didn't have to reach out to see how he was doing. I already knew!!”
“Shaun did an amazing job! He followed all of our directions, kept us updated, and took great care of Lex while we were away. Lex was very happy, comfortable, and clearly well cared for when we got home. We really appreciated the attention and care he gave our dog and home. We would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!”
“Five stars is not enough for the incredible care our two fur babies received from Catherine K.! From start to finish, Catherine was exceptionally professional and made the entire experience completely stress-free. Her communication was outstanding, providing us with regular updates and wonderful photos that kept our minds at total ease while we were away. It was clear from the moment she took over that our cats were in safe, highly capable, and loving hands. Catherine went above and beyond to maintain their daily routines and allowed them their space to become comfortable with her. If you want absolute peace of mind and a sitter who treats your pets like family, look no further than Catherine K. We will absolutely be booking her again!”
“Audrey did a wonderful job caring for my two pups, Ferrari and Aston! She exceeded my expectations, and I genuinely appreciated the care, attention, and thoughtfulness she showed throughout their stay. One of the things I appreciated most was her excellent communication. She kept me informed of any issues that came up and consistently shared pictures and videos so I could see how my babies were doing. Knowing that she was keeping a close eye on them and communicating with me gave me tremendous peace of mind while I was away. What really impressed me was Audrey’s willingness to go the extra mile. When Ferrari didn’t poop during his initial potty break, she took him out again to give him another opportunity rather than simply leaving it at that. That extra effort showed that she was attentive to his needs and genuinely wanted to make sure he was taken care of. She also graciously stayed additional time to accommodate my late arrival. She was completely understanding and didn’t make me feel bad about needing the extra time. Her flexibility and willingness to help were greatly appreciated! These thoughtful gestures speak volumes about Audrey’s character and the kind of care she provides. She didn’t just show up to fulfill her responsibilities; she paid attention to the little things that matter when someone is caring for your fur babies. Her communication, patience, flexibility, and willingness to go above and beyond made a real difference. If you’re looking for a pet sitter who is attentive, dependable, communicative, and willing to go the extra mile, I highly recommend Audrey! It’s such a relief to find someone who understands that our pets are family and treats their care with that level of importance. Thank you, Audrey, for taking such great care of Ferrari and Aston! ❤️🐶🐶 I truly appreciate everything you did, including the extra potty trip for Ferrari and your flexibility with my arrival time. Those things did not go unnoticed! I would absolutely recommend you to other pet parents and would be happy to have you care for my pups again. You were a blessing to us! 🐾💕”
“Tiffany was absolutely amazing with my two puppies! She handled them with so much patience and care, keeping me completely at ease while I was away. I really appreciated the regular updates and photos she sent — it made me feel confident they were in great hands. Tiffany went above and beyond, and I’ll definitely be booking with her again in the future!”
“We loved having Jade watch all of our critters! She house/pet-sat over a weekend, and then a second time over the Christmas holidays, and our dog absolutely loved her! We even learned some new tricks to keep him mentally stimulated from her, which is always a blessing with an active husky. She took great care of the house, washed all the sheets and towels she used before she left, and left us the sweetest little Christmas card with a picture of our sleeping pup! She’s great with all animals, and was very easy to communicate with from start to finish. If you book her, you won’t be disappointed!”
“I cannot say enough about how great Dominique is!! My cat is normally very mad when I get home from trips. However, when I get back after Dominique has been watching him, he is calm and happy. Thank you for taking such good care of him!!”
“Natalie was absolutely wonderful! We had never used Rover or had a pet sitter before, so we were a little nervous about leaving our dogs and having someone stay in our home. From the very beginning, Natalie made us feel completely comfortable and at ease. She took amazing care of our dogs, as well as my son’s dog. She was respectful of our home, and we had absolutely no issues while she was here. It was such a relief knowing our dogs were happy, safe, and well cared for. We are so grateful to Natalie and would definitely use her again. She was kind, trustworthy, caring, and dependable. We highly recommend Natalie to anyone looking for someone they can truly feel comfortable leaving their pets and home with!”
“Hannah managed to coax our three shy cats out of their hiding places and eventually even got kisses from the boy cat. She kept us informed of her progress along the way to feline acceptance with emails, photos and new toys from them. As a house sitter, Hannah dealt with Verizon FiOS when our wifi went down by troubleshooting and meeting with the technician who was able to fix the problem. And she left the house cleaner than we left it! We (both humans and felines) look forward to calling on Hannah for our next vacation.”
“Andrea was absolutely wonderful with my dog, Ivy, while I was away for a family memorial. She kept me updated every day with pictures and messages, took Ivy on walks, helped with her grooming needs, and made sure she was comfortable and cared for. Ivy was so relaxed with her, which gave me total peace of mind. On top of that, Andrea left my home in great condition. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter truly attentive, kind, and reliable. Highly recommend!”
“Hatley was awesome and super communicative! She went above and beyond! she left our house spotless, brought in our mail, washed her towels and sheets, and the pups were extra well cared for! Would definitely recommend her and will be using her again for sure!”
“William was fantastic! He was super responsive, communicative, and immediately put us at ease during our first experience using an overnight sitter. Our dogs can be pretty standoffish with new people, but they took to him right away — which says a lot. Even our cat loved him! It was clear our pets were comfortable, well cared for, and happy while we were away. We’ll absolutely be reaching out to William again in the future”
“Toni was a lifesaver! We have an extremely shy/nervous chihuahua that barks and runs from pretty much everyone. Toni was patient and worked with us to build up a familiarity with our skittish little girl. It took some time, but we were successfully able to go on vacation without having the constant worry of our little girl being comfortable in the back of our minds. We highly recommend working with Toni, especially for a challenging pup.”
About: I have two dogs of my own, and they are such a big part of my life! I've always had a love for animals, and taking care of my dogs has taught me how important it is to give them plenty of love, patience, and attention. I love going on walks, playing with them, and spending time with them. I know how hard it can be to leave your pets with someone else, so I want you to feel comfortable knowing your dogs are in good hands. I'll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved just like they would at home! Hopefully, able to do it on weekends. When I’m back from college. Winter break would be when I can do the most. Then I can do more. Safety and trust are extremely important to me because I know pets are one of the most precious parts of our lives. As a pet owner myself, I understand how much love and care goes into keeping our furry friends happy and healthy. I always want pets to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they are in my care. I will make sure they have a clean, safe environment, plenty of attention, and everything they need.
About: My passion for animals drives me to provide you with a service of safety and security for your pets but, most importantly, the love I provide. My journey of fostering animals started in 2019. Without a doubt, I knew I would love to continue helping people and pets in my free time. I love meeting new pets, and my outgoing personality helps your pets feel energized and safe. I am a very well-experienced sitter as I am very detailed with pet behavior and know how to handle animal care, like giving medication. I am currently a full-time college student with a part-time job. My schedule will be open for the afternoon and evening. My weekend schedule will be available for the evening as well. I have added a well plan schedule below. Monday - after 1:40 pm Tuesday- after 3:00 pm Wednesday - after 5:00 pm Thursday - after 3:00 pm Friday - after 2:00 pm Saturday early morning and evening Sunday evening only In-home care will be safe for your pets as I myself don't have any pets. This will allow me to give your pet my full attention to care for them. I have a fenced backyard, which will give your pet space to roam around. As for client home care, I follow all given guidelines to make you feel comfortable, and your pets will receive all their needs met.
About: Hey everyone! I’m Melanie, a recent Environmental Science grad from George Mason University. I absolutely love taking morning and afternoon strolls at the nearby parks as it’s a nice way to unwind and enjoy nature! When it comes to pet’s, I've been a dog lover since I was a kid! My family has always had furry companions around, and caring for them truly brings me so much joy. I’m a morning person, so I love getting my errands done early in the day! It gives me a sense of accomplishment to kick off my day. I'm also flexible with my time and can easily adjust to fit your needs! As a pet sitter, I truly believe in being respectful and caring while I’m in your home. You can count on me to take great care of your pet with plenty of love and gentleness.
“Telma took care of my sweet Hank and treated him as if he was her own. She provided updates and photos and even put hit sweatshirt on him when it was cold out. He had a blast on his walks and she was very quick to Respond and provide updates on Hank. She did a great job and I would strongly recommend her to family and friends. Thank you, Telma!”
About: I love dogs! I’ve had a dog my entire life, currently a five year old black lab. I love taking my pup on adventures such as walks, the ball fields, or even a drive around town. I have a big back yard, with lots of grass and a shaded/wooded area for walks. I do use cameras when I’m not home to monitor the house. I do have rooms available if the doggies need some personal time or space when not home. I have a dog myself, so I have an established routine of waking up and taking care of my pup. When I go to work my dog is crated and monitored with a camera. When we have guest they can be crated or roam as appropriate. I am home by 3/4pm to continue monitoring, feeding, and playing with the pups! I have a big yard, I live near a public park where I take dogs to walk, and am a frequent visitor to the dog park (with guest dog parent permission). I follow all feeding procedures as directed.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Woodlea
Audrey was wonderful with Ferrari and Aston! ❤️ She was reliable, followed my instructions, and kept me informed every step of the way. I especially appreciated her daily updates, photos, and prompt communication about any changes or incidents. Knowing I could count on her to follow their feeding and walking routines gave me such peace of mind while I was away. I highly recommend Audrey and would gladly trust her with my babies again! 🐾💕
she was so good with her. she sent me so many photos and even kept me informed on her movements if she was leaving her alone. I have always hated leaving because Ali is very particular. this was my first time having her stay at home with a sitter and it was the best decision i have made. i have 2’more trips coming up and I will definitely be using her for the next trips.
Megan did a great job of house sitting our dog! She followed the care instructions and routine schedule. She sent pictures of our dog by text everyday. A few household items came up that were resolved quickly. We were able to enjoy our time away knowing that Megan was providing very good care of our sweet girl. Highly recommend.
Our Husky can be particular about who she trusts, but she took to Kevin right away. Kevin took great personalized care of our home and our dog while we were away for a week. He checked in with us often, sending photos of our happy dog. We would use him again for sure, and highly recommend him.
Cathy did a great job sitting for our 3 year old bolognese puppy, Fair Lady Belle, for an afternoon/early evening. Belle just LOVES Cathy, and runs to the window when we tell her "Cathy is coming to play with you!" She is polite and loves animals - she and Belle have a great time playing together! Cathy is our " go-to" Rover sitter - most highly recommended!
William did a great job house sitting for our pup Willie and our family bunny for a week. He was attentive and responsive, periodically sharing updates. He was flexible too. He came back the evening and night after the scheduled services ended due to a mistake on my part. Super appreciative of that.
We will always have Xiomara watch our dog and cat as long as she’s available, she is incredible. She sends constant updates, pictures, videos, and my dog LOVES her. So does our cat. She is such a wonderful person and she leaves our place sparkling clean. Having peace of mind about our precious animals makes traveling a thousand times more enjoyable. Thank you so much Xiomara ❤️

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Woodlea is $43 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $29 and $73 per night. 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 7,821 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Woodlea. 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 Woodlea 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 Woodlea 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 Woodlea 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Woodlea. On Rover:
- 86% 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.
