“Caitlin was awesome! She helped us out last minute with a drop-in for Holly and gave her so much love. She is reliable, caring and definitely our go-to sitter. We Highly recommend her! 🐾”

“Brenda is very easy to schedule and work with and very punctual (which I value). She also takes good care of the dogs making sure they eat their respective foods (they both eat different foods) and get their exercise. The dogs approve! 🐶👍”


About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs, including overnight stays where I have looked after up to 6 dogs at once! I am responsible, patient, and great at following specific instructions to make sure each dog gets the care they need. I understand that every dog has a different personality and routine, and I always do my best to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I enjoy spending time with dogs, playing with them, and making sure they are happy and well taken care of while their owners are away. 🐾❤️ I’m currently a college student at George Mason University, and I don’t have a part-time job, so my schedule is pretty flexible! I have plenty of free time to dedicate to caring for pets, whether that includes walks, feeding, playtime, or overnight stays. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and make sure they receive the love, attention, and care they deserve while you’re away! 🐾❤️ I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their own homes! I’m responsible, respectful of others’ homes, and great at following instructions. I’ll stick to your pet’s normal routine and give them plenty of love and attention while you’re away! 🐾❤️
About: My experience comes from years of being around and caring for pets belonging to family and close friends. I’ve helped with feeding, walks, playtime, companionship, and keeping pets on their normal routines. I’m naturally patient, attentive, and nurturing so I definitely understand how important it is for your fur babies to feel loved, safe, and cared for while their favorite people are away. Pets are family too and I’ll treat yours with that same level of care and attention. I also have close family and friends connected to the military, so I understand how unpredictable and demanding military life can be. Long workdays and changing schedules can make having reliable pet care especially important. I want to be someone you can count on when life gets busy or plans change. Whether you’re fur baby needs a walk, playtime, feeding, companionship, or simply someone trustworthy to check in on them, I’m happy to help. I’m great at following instructions and paying attention to the little things that make each pet unique. My goal is to give every pet plenty of attention, affection, and quality care while making your time away easier and giving you complete peace of mind. 🐾 I recently moved to the area and have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pet care. My main daily commitment is making sure my two kids get on and off the school bus safely and on time, which means I have flexibility throughout the day to provide walks, drop ins, playtime, and companionship. I treat every pet as an individual and take the time to learn their routine, personality, and specific needs. In your home, I’ll follow your instructions closely, keep their space clean and comfortable, and make sure they receive plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, fresh food and water, and companionship. I’ll also provide regular updates so you know how your fur baby is doing while you’re away. For walks and drop ins, I focus on making each visit fun, safe, and engaging while keeping your pet’s normal routine as consistent as possible. I understand that leaving your pets with someone new can be stressful, so my goal is to make the experience comfortable for both you and your fur babies and give you peace of mind knowing they’re being well cared for.
About: I've always been a natural caregiver. I've had pets since I was born, took care of my grandmother in her final years, and I take care of patients of all ages everyday as a healthcare worker. My goal is always to look out for the underdog (pun intended). I work at a dental clinic nearby with nights, weekends, and every other Friday off. My 15 minute commute allows me to pop home if I need to let our pup out. I have plenty of time before and after work for walks and snuggles too! I have a fenced in backyard, a super laid back 9 year old lab mix, and two chill cats who pretty much keep to themselves. We have plenty of extra space for crating if need be! And if for some reason your furry friend needs and entirely secluded area, we can provide that as well.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Woodlea
Traveling and being away from my cats has always been so hard on me but for the first time ever, I was able to truly relax and enjoy a long trip, and that is all thanks to Mrs. Pamela! She is genuinely one of the best, if not THE best, pet sitters I've ever had. She is incredibly thorough and attentive in her care. She follows and respects every instruction, no matter how detailed or particular. She is quick to respond to messages and not only provides plenty of photos but also the most thoughtful and detailed summaries of each visit. They gave me so much comfort and peace of mind while I was away. My usually shy cats warmed up to her well and it was so reassuring to know they were in such loving and capable hands. Overall, I can't express how grateful I am. She went above and beyond, not just in caring for my cats but in making the entire experience so much easier for me as a pet parent. I truly cannot recommend her enough!!!!

Lydia dropped in to care for Teddy & Tomi over multiple days, and she was wonderful throughout. She was very communicative and kept me updated, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I truly trust her with my fur babies and appreciate the care, attention, and reliability she showed them. It’s such a comfort knowing Teddy & Tomi are in kind, capable hands with Lydia.

Sandra did a phenomenal job caring for Yema while we were away! She treated her with so much care, kindness, and attention, which gave us great peace of mind during our time away. We especially appreciated the photos she provided with each visit—they allowed us to see how happy and well cared for Yema was. Sandra was dependable, thoughtful, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!

We cannot thank Megan enough for the great care she gave to our pets for 6 days so we could Enjoy our time at the beach - and these weren't normal pets! She loved on our bearded dragon, fed him bugs, gave him Showers (which makes him go to the bathroom haha). She also cared for our aquatic frog. She brought in mail. She sent photos. She was on time every day. We will definitely always hire Megan to care for our family pets. We didn't worry about them one second. Thank you so much Megan!

We had an amazing experience! She took such wonderful care of our dog, Georgia, and kept us updated throughout our trip with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear that Georgia was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. She is kind, reliable, and truly loves animals. We are so grateful for everything she did and would absolutely trust her with Georgia again. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable pet sitter!

Cathy took wonderful care of my cat, Sky, and I couldn’t be more grateful. From the very beginning, Sky made a great connection with her and was incredibly affectionate, which says so much about the care and warmth she provides. She truly went above and beyond, giving Sky extra love and attention and making sure he felt comfortable and happy at all times. Cathy was kind, helpful, supportive, and very proactive, always keeping me updated and anticipating anything Sky might need. She was also extremely responsive and easy to reach, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. I would absolutely trust Cathy again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. If Sky could type, he’d probably give her 5 paws and a head boop 🐾😄

If I could leave more than 5 stars, I would. This was our first time requesting pet care from a service and Ivor patiently walked us through it. From the initial meet and greet our pets were drawn to her, which doesn't often happen with new people. We felt so relaxed on our trip knowing our pets were in such safe and calming hands. Already planning to rebook with her!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Woodlea is $23 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $33 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 12,746 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Woodlea. 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 Woodlea. On Rover:
- 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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.
