“again, Haley took wonderful care of our pup, Kizzie. We’re especially grateful for her flexibility, as our travel schedule can sometimes be a bit unpredictable . She keeps us updated with photos and always reaches out if she has any questions or needs clarification on care. Thanks Haley! You’re the best!”
“Nicole stayed at our place to watch our cat for almost two weeks and did a fantastic job! She was responsive and checked in regularly, and we came home to a happy cat. Our cat is very social and needs a lot of interaction and playtime, and it gave us peace of mind knowing Nicole was looking after him. Plus she took great care of our house and kept our plants alive. We’ll happily call on her again to take care of our cat when we’re out of town!”
“Amber was fantastic. She communicated and sent photos of my pups while I was away. When a couple of changes happened, she was adaptable and reliable. I will be using Amber again for sure!”
“Absolutely phenomenal dog sitter. Our dogs get separation anxiety easily and they really took to Joshua quickly and he was so great with them. We needed a sitter in a pinch and he not only pulled through for us, but was one of the best pet sitters we have found in the area. Will definitely book again and highly recommend!”
“5 stars per usual. John is always great at communication and follow ups while watching my two pups. The puppy has a LOT of energy and I always come home to a house better than I left it and two tired out and well taken care of pups. Thanks!”
“Very happy with Nia—very responsive and kept me supplied with pix so I could see my little buddy while I was away. Left house spotless and pup well cared for. Will definitely book again if available!”
“We try to make sure Marcus is free any time we leave town! Love how he loves our dogs like they’re his own. A great dog sitter and we never worry about our pups or our home when he is there.”
“Katherine is the best dog sitter we have ever had. She connected with our dog Peanut immediately. We felt very comfortable leaving Peanut with her. Katherine consistently updated us with pictures and information about our precious dog on a daily basis. It helped make our vacation special, knowing that our dog Peanut was in great hands. I will definitely use her again. She deserves a 5 star rating.”
About: I have been a lover of all animals for as far back as I can remember and have taken care of them both personally and professionally. I have been employed by zoos and aquariums, worked with tigers, made diets for birds of prey, and assisted Marine Biologists with shark tanks and coral reefs. My training has not just been in educating the public, but in positive reinforcements. Everything from dogs, cats, snakes, hedgehogs, frogs, and so many more have been in my care over the course of my life for one reason or another. I am my friends' go-to for anything they've ever been curious about when it comes to our natural world. And being a dog mom of two myself has been one of the most rewarding privileges I've been able to experience. Pet care for me is 24/7 for my own babies, but I am available Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, and some Wednesdays for any and all services. My pupperonies have been crate trained by me, but for the most part free roam. They have designated areas for when the hoomans are out of the house where they are allowed to nap and play with their toys or each other. Both have been socialized and are respectful of the other dog in the home. Both dogs get 3 walks per day, one in the morning, one in the afternoon, and one in the evening to ensure they are exercised as well as some off leash play in the yard. For clients, I am attentive to each animals’ needs and respectful of owner requests. It is important for me to get to know your fluffybutt as much as possible in order to provide optimal care.
“Bryan was a wonderful guest and communicator! His flexibility was much appreciated when we had a medical emergency with our youngest that required some last minute schedule changes. We will definitely be using him again!!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for more than 20 years and have hands-on experience with both dogs and cats. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, walks, potty breaks, playtime, companionship, and following detailed care instructions. I also have house-sitting experience caring for pets in their own homes, which has taught me how important it is to keep their normal routine consistent while their family is away. I’m dependable, attentive, and I love keeping pet parents updated with photos and messages so they can feel comfortable knowing their pets are being well cared for. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to make pet care a priority throughout the week. I’m available for house sitting, walks, drop-in visits, and weekend care. I enjoy keeping pets on their normal routines and can plan my schedule around feeding times, walks, playtime, and other care needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I carefully follow their normal routine and all instructions provided by their pet parent. I make sure doors, gates, leashes, and other areas are secure, and I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and comfort. I also keep the home tidy and provide regular photo and message updates so pet parents can feel comfortable while they’re away.
“I can’t say enough good things about Sabrina! From the moment we met, it was clear our dogs were in loving and capable hands. She went over and beyond in every possible way—sending regular updates, photos, and even taking extra time to make sure the house was spotless when we returned. Our pups were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for (they might have been a little disappointed to see us come home!). It’s such a relief to find someone so trustworthy and genuinely caring. We came back to a tidy home, extra tlc to our home and wagging tails. If you’re looking for someone who treats your pets and your home as if they were their own, I can’t recommend Sabrina highly enough. We’ll definitely be booking again!”
About: Well with 10+ years of veterinary experience, I’m comfortable caring for cats with special needs and medications, anxiety, medical conditions, and unique personalities with patience. Veterinary care is a big part of my daily life. I work as a veterinary technician, so caring for animals, monitoring their needs, and keeping them comfortable is already part of my routine. I provide loving, attentive care in my home or yours, following routines and medications, feeding schedules, exercise needs, and special instructions while keeping pets comfortable.
“Nasheia is such a caring and kind dog sitter and walker! She treats our dog like her own, pays special attention to instructions, and is highly communicative. Our dog loves her and we do too!”
About: I’ve been around and caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities my whole life. I’m especially comfortable with large, energetic dogs and have experience handling dogs with different temperaments and needs. I previously worked at a dog kennel, where I gained hands-on experience caring for multiple dogs, keeping them active, and making sure they were safe and comfortable. I’m confident with long walks, playtime, basic training, and keeping dogs engaged and exercised. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely love spending time with dogs, so I’ll treat your dog like my own and make sure they get the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. I am currently unemployed and struggling with mental health so i have all the time in the world to walk, or sit your pets. my cat is the only thing that helps me get out of bed every morning and hopefully your baby’s can help me too. I have a fenced-in backyard where dogs can safely get some outdoor time and play. I keep the area secure and supervised, and I’m committed to providing a clean, calm, and safe environment for every pet in my care. I’ll always follow your pet’s routine and specific needs.
About: Hi there! I’m a friendly, bubbly dog lover serving the Chesapeake, Norfolk, and Portsmouth areas. Whether I’m caring for a tiny puppy, a gentle senior, or a big goofy breed with lots of personality, I treat every dog like they’re part of my own family. Dogs bring so much joy into my life, and I love giving that same joy right back through reliable, attentive care. I am in the military, but my schedule is really flexible and im off every weekends, I go to work at 08am on weekdays so I have time to take the dogs out before work and at 2pm when I get back. I take safety seriously. I monitor all dogs closely, follow your instructions carefully, and make sure every walk, visit, or stay is secure and stress‑free. I’m comfortable with leashes, crates, feeding routines, and managing multiple dogs at once.
“Thalia is an amazing dog sitter! I had a last minute change of plans and she stepped in to help, kept me updated daily with pics/check ins, and left my apartment just as she found it. I’ll definitely be using her again!”

Stephanie was a wonderful sitter - she was quick to reply to us, even for a last-minute request, and provided us with frequent text/photo updates just how we like it. We came home to a clean apartment and a happy pup. We’d love to have her take care of our dog again!
Sarah was absolutely wonderful with Parker! From the very beginning, she made me feel comfortable and confident that Parker was in great hands. She was attentive, caring, dependable, and treated Parker like she was her own. Parker was happy and well cared for when I returned, which gave me so much peace of mind. It’s not always easy trusting someone new with your dog, but Sarah completely exceeded my expectations. I’m so glad we found her and will definitely be booking with her again. I highly recommend Sarah to anyone looking for a trustworthy, loving, and reliable sitter! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Woodmore is $58 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $52 and $72 per night.

As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 Woodmore 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 Woodmore 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 Woodmore 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
