“Lauren was great! We had an issue with one of our dogs while we were away (unrelated to Lauren) and she was super responsive and helpful to us while we were out of state. Highly recommend.”
“Heidi, was very polite and took care of my dog very well. She even waited up late one night when I came home late the other night. I would recommend her to anyone interested in someone that is reliable. Thanks again Heidi!”
“Nancy did a great job watching our dog Atticus! He normally gets very sad when we’re gone, but Nancy made sure he got enough love and attention and he was happy and relaxed. Atticus loved Nancy and even went into the room she stayed in a few times to check if she was still there. She sent frequent updates on his mood, whether he ate, and what they were up to, including sending pictures. We will definitely hire Nancy again!”
“Jessica was the absolute best!!! Our 2 cats did amazing with her and they were so so so well cared for and loved during our vacation. Jessica stayed 3 days and 3 nights at our place and did cat sitting and house sitting and made our vacation stress free knowing our babies were well taken care of! She was so respectful of our home and left everything as is and clean. She sent us daily photos and text updates as we requested. Our cats absolutely loved her and were so happy with her. We will definitely be rebooking and recommend Jessica to everyone!!!”
“Glen was great he met us before the booking and met my dog and we walked to get Scooby used to him. He asked a lot of questions about Scooby routine. He sent me a photo and update every day.”
“Evelyn was FANTASTIC! She ensured Nugget was not only comfortable and fed but also stimulated. She was also super respectful of my home and went above with leaving the space neat. Will definitely ask her to sit again.”
“Peggy was great with Maggie! We could tell Maggie felt comfortable the whole weekend. She was well taken care of and we received updates and pictures throughout the weekend as well. We will definitely rebook!”
“Leeann was wonderful with Mia and Pio! She came on time and cared for them as if they were her own. She sent photos through the day and communicated as requested. Both Mila and Pio were in great spirits when I came home. They took several walks and played puzzles. I’d highly recommend Lee to watch your pets!”
About: I have had a dog for most of my life. I would love to care for your dog like I care for my own dog ❤️ Currently, I work part time so I can be flexible for your dog needs. I have the summer off from work so can be available for you. I treat dogs with respect and want them to feel comfortable when I am around. I like to keep dogs active when they need it.
About: As a dedicated cat owner, I know that every cat has a unique personality and routine. I have experience caring for kittens, adult cats, and more timid or anxious cats, and I’m comfortable with feeding, medications (if needed), litter box maintenance, enrichment, and giving pets the patience they deserve. I’ll make sure your cat feels safe and cared for while keeping you updated with photos and messages throughout each visit. I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide dependable drop-in visits throughout the week. I understand that cats thrive on consistency, so I do my best to keep their routine as close to normal as possible. Whether your cat needs a quick check-in, feeding, litter box cleaning, playtime, or extra attention, I’ll make sure they receive personalized care and plenty of updates while you’re away. Your cat’s comfort and safety are my top priorities. During each visit, I’ll follow your care instructions carefully, make sure food and water are fresh, clean the litter box, and spend quality time playing or simply keeping your cat company (whatever they enjoy most.) I’ll also keep an eye out for any changes in behavior or health and send detailed updates with photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
About: I’m a passionate and reliable pet lover with years of hands on experience caring for dogs of all ages and needs. I’ve had four dogs of my own, including my current puppy, so I understand the energy, attention, and patience that younger dogs require. I’ve also cared for two senior dogs with health issues, which taught me how to provide gentle, attentive care and manage more complex needs. In addition to caring for my own pets, I've cared for pets of neighbors, friends and friends of friends. I’m comfortable following specific routines, administering basic care, and making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Whether your dog needs a fun walk, extra playtime, or calm, attentive care, I treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m dependable, communicative, and truly enjoy spending time with animals of all personalities and energy levels! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, especially during the summer when I’m home from college and able to make it my main focus. I have a very flexible schedule and can plan my day around each pet’s specific needs, whether that’s regular walks, feeding times, play sessions, or drop ins. Because this is my primary commitment over the summer, I’m able to give pets plenty of attention, stay consistent with their routines, and be available for a variety of times throughout the day. I prioritize reliability and communication, so you can feel confident your pet is getting the care and attention they deserve. I tailor my care to each pet’s routine and needs to make them feel as comfortable and stress free as possible. In a client’s home, I stick closely to your pet’s normal schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest, so they can stay in a familiar environment. I make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection, while also keeping their space clean and secure. Across all services, I focus on clear communication, dependability, and treating every pet like my own, whether that means energetic playtime for puppies or gentle, attentive care for senior dogs. I do prefer that all pet owners leave detailed care instructions for each pet, whether this be on paper or sent through Rover's messaging system. This helps me stay organized and ensures that your pet receives the best care possible!
“Honestly, Sam was amazing and one of the best sisters we had in the last ten years. We love the picture updates and could tell that our Chihuahuas and Corgi loved her. It sometimes take a little time for small dogs to feel secure with a new person. They warmed up to her so quickly. We definitely recommend her Sam to anyone. 🥰🥰🥰”

About: I have hands-on experience caring for my own three dogs, including two Mastiffs and one Maltese. Caring for dogs with such different sizes, personalities, and needs has taught me how to adapt to each pet’s unique routine and temperament. From daily walks, feeding, grooming, playtime, and basic training to providing lots of love and attention, I understand the responsibility that comes with caring for pets. Friends and family have also trusted me to watch their pets, and I always treat every animal as if they were my own. As a nursing student with a strict schedule, I plan my time carefully to ensure pets receive the attention and care they deserve.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Woodridge
Sarah took wonderful care of our 14 year old Lab, Wally, while we were away for a week. Leaving an older dog can be stressful, but Sarah gave us complete peace of mind from the start She was attentive, caring, and clearly treated Wally like one of her own. She kept us updated with messages and photos, and it was obvious he was comfortable, well cared for, and getting lots of love and attention\. We came home to a happy, relaxed dog, which says everything\. We are so grateful for the excellent care Sarah provided and would not hesitate to book with her again\. We highly recommend Sarah to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate pet sitter.
Fantastic sitter! Our cat took to Sandra immediately, which says a lot. She handled a challenging assignment that included administering multiple medications twice a day with great care and confidence. Communication was excellent throughout, she was always reliable and on time, and she has a genuinely wonderful personality. We would happily book Sandra again and highly recommend her!
Claudia made the whole process worry free. She sent me pictures of how my 2 fur babies were the whole time I was gone. She made it so I could enjoy my wedding weekend stress free. The animals just loved her. We would definitely recommend and rebook if ever needed with her.
Ella did a good job caring for our dog. She was communicative and kept me in the loop of what was happening. She didn’t send a lot of pictures but that’s not super important to us, I’m sure she would if requested. She left our house clean and picked up. I would recommend Ella for your pet sitting needs.
Natasha was great! We were able to book her last minute and she did such a great job with Elmer, meeting all of his needs and giving him exceptional care while we were gone. She was easy to communicate with and super reliable. Will definitely be using her again!
Sabrina has been the best Dog Sitter I have ever had and I have had a lot of Dog Sitter. She did two courtesy meet and greets and while I was on my trip, she kept me up-to-date multiple times a day with photos. She stayed in my home and took care of my two puppies and when I returned home, the house was immaculate. Everything was clean and almost better than what I left it before leaving on my trip. Both my puppies were very well taken care of. They almost seem sad that we are back and she is gone, lol. She even left me flowers and a handwritten note which was a very touching surprise. Also, I had a lot of instructions and she followed each and every one of them and I must say she was probably the most honest pet sitter I have ever had. I highly recommend Sabrina to take care of your babies, and will be using her multiple times myself.

FAQs for House Sitting - Woodridge
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Woodridge on Rover is $47.73 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 8,269 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Woodridge. 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 Woodridge 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 Woodridge 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 Woodridge 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Woodridge. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
