“Dakota was a wonderful sitter! Dakota came for a meet and greet a few days beforehand, and Wes was immediately relaxed. You can tell how much Dakota cares about taking care of your dog and their individual needs. We got several photos and updates throughout the time Dakota was watching Wes, which really put us at ease. We would absolutely recommend Dakota, and would be happy to have Dakota watch We anytime!”

“Bailey is awesome! She tended to our 8 week old puppy and 5 year old ferret within a weeks notice. She is very professional, understanding, attentive, and asks good questions. She also sent us pictures while on the job which made me feel at ease. With Bailey, you can be rest assured your fur babies are receiving the best care available! We will be continuing care with her.”


About: I have a large family dog that I have been responsible for since I was about 10 years old. She has since gotten older so I have experience with a senior dog and giving any sorts of medication (and the peanut butter necessary to get her to take it). I am no stranger to having to clean up any accidents in the house so that is a non-issue for me. I am also open to taking care of other animals like rodents or turtles or other cage creatures. I am a true and passionate animal lover! My schedule is very flexible at the moment. I am happy to give as much or little time needed for the pets. I can figure out any scheduling and details necessary with clients. I am never loud coming into a home. I always let the pets come to me unless they are hiding on purpose. I take care instructions very seriously and will follow everything exactly and will reach out if I have questions about the best way I can care for your fur friend.
“Danielle did an AMAZING job taking care of our kitties. One of them needs a lot of medication but that didn’t seem to phase her. They were well taken care of, got very comfortable with her in a short period of time, and we got a lot of adorable pictures. We will definitely be hiring her again.”


“Wow, Tracy was an amazing pet and house sitter! We received precise and regular updates on our doggie and felt super comfortable and confident having Tracy in our home. Tracy also gave him lots of walks and loads of attention. We felt like our dog was in excellent hands.”

“Anna was great and our puppy Dot loves her! Anna followed our instructions we left for Dot and was very attentive. She read into Dots needs very well. We are very grateful to have Anna in our lives and have already rebooked with her! Thank you Anna!”

“Always on time and ready to play! Nathan treats our active fur babies as his own! We never have to worry when Nathan is on the job! He is fine juggling 2 pups with different temperament’s/ keeping them safe and happy!”


“We had an outstanding experience with Star as our house and dog sitter. From start to finish, her professionalism, reliability, and genuine care gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Our dog, Millie, received exceptional attention, exercise, and affection, and it was clear upon our return that she had been very well cared for. In addition, our home was maintained impeccably. Everything was in excellent order, and we truly appreciated the level of respect and responsibility shown throughout. Communication was consistent and thoughtful, with regular updates that kept us reassured. We would highly recommend Star to anyone seeking a trustworthy and dedicated house and pet sitter. Her commitment to both our pet's well-being and our home's care was exemplary, and we would not hesitate to book her services again. Without a doubt, this was our very best house sitting and dog sitting experience in our 25 years of pet ownership.”

“Bertie and Lissette's family were amazing! They took great care of my puppy and were very responsive and easy to communicate with. I will definitely contact them again the next time I am in Charlottesville.”


About: I've been a pet caretaker since I was 12. Dogs quickly connect with me for play, walking and companionship- just like you were there too. I have a very flexible schedule with my JMU classes this semester so I have lots of available time to spend with your fur baby. I am currently home for summer! I am very comfortable using any style leash for walking and using crates. My time with your fur baby will focus on play, fun and comfort
“Danielle was wonderful! She was very communicative throughout the stay and sent regular pictures and updates, which gave me great peace of mind. My dogs were clearly happy and well cared for when I got home. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”


About: I have experience caring for all age ranges of cats and dogs. I have 3 years of animal welfare experience previously working in a shelter and i have always naturally been a huge animals lover. I have the ability to read animals body language really well. I connect quickly with every animal I meet! I have experience with different kinds of energy levels as well. If your dog needs a hike and does well in the car; I’m your gal!!, If they just need cuddles while we binge a tv show I can do that too! I have experience with bunnies, chickens and birds too!! I have a 3 year old dog named Ace who came to me as a puppy. I raised him and have trained him to be off leash, sit, stay, paw, and heel. (Basic commands) if you need assistance or would like for me to work with your dog in any training/ socializing way please reach out! Currently available anytime! Would love to have the ability to work with your animals and still have the time to give my animals the loving they deserve as well! I walk my dog every chance I get while working on any minor behavioral or fear based problems to insure my baby can live a full healthy happy life.
“Zach was a new sitter to our family and I am so glad we met him through Rover! He took the absolute best care of our dog and cats, and our house, while we were away for a few days. It was so nice knowing our furry family members were in great hands. He definitely treated them like his own and I have a feeling they're going to miss him now that we're home! We can't wait to have Zach back again!”


“Dieira has been amazing and our Izzy just adores her, she has stayed in our home do 2 plus weeks with no issues and checked in with sweet pictures regularly. We will definitely use her services again ☺️”

“Tiffanie was wonderful, helping us out on short notice, taking wonderful care of our home and dogs, and sending great updates throughout. We will definitely be working with her again.”

“Megan was spectacular, stepping in with very short notice to dog sit my puppy for a week when my original sitter canceled a few days before I left. She took very good care of my dog a provided some very cute photos of the fun they were having”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Woodridge
Highly recommend Abigail. Very communicative in both setting up a meet and greet and while caring for our dog while we were away. Provided regular updates and pictures and left our house just as we did, including with our happy and healthy pup. We will reach out to Abigail again without hesitation for any future dog watching/walking needs.

Abigail was instantly warm with our dog, seamlessly showing a ton of love and care from the meet and greet. We haven't felt as secure leaving our old pup with anyone—dear friends and family included—and this relieved a great deal of friction and stress so we could enjoy our time away. While we were away she sent regular photo updates, which were very well received, and text responsive updates. Our dog is a velcro dog, and quite particular in his old age, and she went above and beyond to care for him. Abigail was a perfect house guest, as well, and left detailed notes for debriefing. We, and our dog, can't wait to book with Abigail again!

FAQs for House Sitting - Woodridge
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Woodridge on Rover is $52.73 per night (as of June 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 June 2026, there are 324 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.

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.
