“Laura did a great job with our dogs. She did a great job at communication and was very prompt in her replies. Our dogs loved her, and seemed very sad when we returned and she left. She administered pet medication well and Otto seems to be much better at bringing the ball back to us when playing fetch. Would positively hire again.”

About: I’ve always had an innate love for animals and have lucky to grow up caring for dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to sweet senior dogs. 🐾 I understand that every dog has their own personality, needs, and routine, and I strive to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I have experience working with puppies, helping them learn good habits, build confidence, and develop basic manners through patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement. I also understand that senior dogs often need extra attention, a gentler approach, and care tailored to their comfort and energy levels. Whether your pup needs playtime, help reinforcing training, daily walks, or your senior companion needs a slower-paced routine and extra cuddles, I’m happy to provide attentive, loving care. ❤️ I treat every dog as if they were my own and want every pet parent to feel confident knowing their furry family member is in caring, trustworthy hands. My goal is to make your time away easier by keeping your dog happy, comfortable, and well cared for! I’m currently in nursing school two days a week, but I’m available the other five days to give your pets plenty of love, attention, and care! My priority is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved, whether I’m caring for them in my home or yours. 🐾 I follow each pet’s usual routine, including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and any special instructions you provide. I tailor my care to each dog’s age, personality, and needs. For puppies, I provide patience, supervision, frequent potty breaks, and positive reinforcement to help encourage good habits. For senior dogs, I take a gentler approach, allowing plenty of rest, keeping walks at a comfortable pace, and giving them extra attention and affection. I make sure pets have access to fresh water, a clean and safe environment, and plenty of love and companionship. I’m happy to reinforce existing training and follow your preferred care routines to help your pet feel at home. I also love keeping pet parents updated with messages and photos so you can enjoy peace of mind while you’re away. ❤️ Every pet is family to me, and my goal is to make sure your furry friend feels happy, secure, and cared for every step of the way!

“We could not have asked for a better sitter! Stephanie took such wonderful care of Stanley and our cats, sent us sweet updates while we were away, and made it so easy for us to relax knowing everyone was happy and well cared for. She even brought them treats. We came home to happy pets and a spotless home, which was so incredibly thoughtful and far beyond anything we expected. She truly went above and beyond in every possible way. We will absolutely book her again and cannot recommend her highly enough!”

About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of different breeds and temperaments. I’ve had my own American Cocker Spaniel and also grew up with a Boxer, so I’m comfortable with both gentle companion dogs and more energetic breeds. I also have a grooming certificate and worked as a dog bather in Virginia for several months, where I gained practical experience handling dogs, keeping them calm during grooming, and ensuring their comfort and safety. In addition, I volunteered at dog adoption events, helping care for dogs in new and sometimes stressful environments. This experience taught me how to read dog behavior, build trust quickly, and support dogs as they adjust. I am patient, attentive, and always adjust my approach to each dog’s personality to make them feel safe and cared for. I currently work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide attentive pet care. I can easily fit dog walks, playtime, and visits into my daily routine, and I make sure each pet gets the time and attention they need. I’m also very comfortable maintaining a cat’s routine — including feeding, litter care, playtime, and quiet companionship. I provide care exclusively in my clients’ homes, where pets feel most comfortable and secure in their familiar environment. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning for cats, walks for dogs, and playtime or companionship based on their needs. I always take time to build trust with each pet, especially shy or sensitive ones, and I adjust my approach to match their personality. My goal is to keep them calm, safe, and cared for while their owners are away.

About: I have a long history of pet care, and have extensive experience with the Shar Pei breed. I have owned Shar Pei's for over 25yrs and have done some rescue work with them as well. I have owned cats and dogs my entire life. I have experience with dogs that may need extra care such as meds or extra attention. Can't imagine life without them they just bring such a joy into our lives. You can have confidence in knowing while I'm taking care of your pet I will treat, and love them as my own. I know how hard it is to find the right person to take care of your pets, and will take the best of care of your 🐾🐾babies. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine, and I intentionally structure my schedule to ensure each pet receives consistent attention, exercise, and care. I plan my day around feeding times, walks, playtime, and check-ins so pets are never left unattended for long periods. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday visits, or evening care, I maintain a reliable and flexible schedule to meet each pet’s needs. My goal is to provide dependable, routine-based care so pets feel comfortable and owners feel confident knowing their pets are a priority. I provide a safe, calm, and attentive environment tailored to each pet’s individual needs, whether in my home or my client’s home. I prioritize building trust by following the pet’s normal routine, maintaining a clean and secure space, and ensuring constant supervision and care. I’m mindful of each pet’s temperament, dietary needs, and any special instructions, and I take precautions such as secure doors, leash use, and hazard-free surroundings to keep them safe at all times. My goal is to create a comfortable, low-stress environment where pets feel cared for, protected, and at ease while their owners are away.

About: I grew up caring for all kinds of animals, from dogs and cats to rabbits, turtles, guinea pigs, and even rescued squirrels! My dad was a certified animal rescuer, so animals have always been a huge part of my life. 🐾 I’ve been professionally dog sitting for about 5 years and have experience with dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I’ve cared for everything from Great Danes to small dogs, as well as puppies still potty training and senior dogs needing medications or special diets. My own pup, Mary, is an 8 lb Pomeranian! I love taking dogs on walks, keeping them active, and giving them lots of love and attention. I’ll treat your pets like my own and make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. ❤️ I currently work full-time in Sarasota, typically 8–9 hours a day, so I would be away during my workday Monday–Friday. I’m able to take a lunch break for a midday potty break if the home is within about 20 minutes of my workplace, and depending on the pet’s needs and the situation, I may be able to adjust my schedule when planned in advance. I’m available to stay overnight and will be with your pets before and after work, and I’m much more flexible on weekends. I’m happy to work with you to make sure your pet’s routine and needs are well cared for while you’re away. 🐾 When caring for pets in their home, I focus on keeping their normal routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. I’ll follow their feeding schedule, provide fresh water, give medications if needed, and make sure they get plenty of walks, playtime, and attention. I also owned a cleaning business and regularly cared for the pets of my cleaning clients. This gave me years of experience being trusted in people’s homes. I’m respectful of your space, will clean up after myself and your pets, and will leave your home neat and the way I found it. Most importantly, I’ll treat your pets like my own and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands.

She sent many photos while we were gone the 3 days. We came home to a very happy dog and a very clean and neat home. Lisa will be the first I contact when I need a sitter again.”

I can’t say enough good things about marie. First of all, she was the last second high because the other Rover Sitter ghosted us. Marie was responsive communicated thoroughly sent pictures and from the very beginning we felt safe to leave our Aspen with her. She stayed for seven days in our house and the house was spotless, When we returned. I would highly recommend marie and the next time we travel, that’s the first person I’m gonna ask for.

We are so glad we found Carrie to stay with our Grady. She is caring and patient and we knew he was in good hands. We loved getting the photos and updates. She stayed at our home, and we would not have known she was here. It's hard to leave your pet, so having peace of mind that they are safe and cared for is huge for us. We hope Carrie is available for our next time away.

We can't say enough about how wonderful Tom was with our pups. Sasha and Reggie are 100 lb Bernese Mountain Dogs. Our vacation was planned for a year and Tom was booked for a month. Just before we left they developed pretty severe GI issues. Tom was OK with staying even with the issues. We started them on home cooked Bison and potato on the advise of their vet. Tom cooked potatoes and bison for each meal. Gave them their new meds and did the slow change to include the new kibble they were eventually started on. We were gone for 17 days and never could have enjoyed our European trip without knowing that Tom was taking such good care of our babies. Additionally each needed to be walked separately since they are too much to handle together. We don't have a fenced in yard so every 4 hour walks is their norm. Tom kept us updated regularly about the state of their poops and overall health, sent lots of pictures and loved our babies. I can't recommend him more highly. He is amazing.

FAQs for House Sitting - Woodmere

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Woodmere is $39 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 and $121 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 886 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Woodmere. 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 Woodmere 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 Woodmere 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 Woodmere 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 Woodmere. On Rover:

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.
