“Sara is awesome! Our dogs are so excited to see her when she arrives. She has house sat for our 2 beagles a couple of times and we would love for her to sit for us in the future. We feel so comfortable knowing she is home taking care of our babies. She sends great updates and takes care of anything needed/asked, including our multitude of supplements we give our dogs.”

About: I would love to take care of your babies while you are away. I will talk to them , cuddle them, feed and walk them. I’m am currently retired and looking forward to pet sitting. I have another friend that enjoys this so much, and I think I will like it just as much as she does. I will make sure there is always clean water, feed in the morning and evenings, or as often as you like. I wash the bowls about every other day. I have 3 beds for my chihuahua, one in the living room, bedroom and dining room where my computer sits. She sits in my lap when she wants, she lets me know when she needs to go out and I keep pee pads down for her just in case, and keep the area clean.
About: Hi there! My name is Lauren. Some helpful things to know about me is that I have 5+ years experience in animal care. I've worked at animal shelters and as a manager at a pet daycare/boarding facility, I also have done pet sitting and dog walking on my own in the past. I've recently moved to the area and want to continue working with animals. I am responsible, reliable and will treat your pets as if they were my own. I love to send lots of updates and pictures so you know your pets are well taken care of. I have just recently moved to Alvarado and left my job at Operation Kindness Humane Society because the commute would of been too long. So my schedule is very open as of right now while I look for another job. I have a large yard, however it is not fully fenced. If you'd like for your pup to come to my house I would walk them to go potty. I also have 2 dogs that are dog friendly so if your pup likes to play they will get along great. My dogs are fully vaccinated and up to date all all shots and preventions. For your baby to stay with me I would need to see vaccination records, just to make sure everyone is safe and healthy. If you'd prefer me to pet sit at your home I am more than happy to do that as well and stay consistent with the daily routine you have with your animals. This is usually my preferred way, as it is less stressful for your animals to be in a familiar environment.
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and know how to care for older dogs as well. I also know how to administer medication and such. I would want the best care for my dog. I have a lot of time to care for your fur baby. When the time comes, I have a very flexible schedule and will communicate. I’ve worked at a dog boarding/ day care facility and learned more about dog behavior and body language. I’m a very patient person and want the best care for your fur baby.
“Amber was absolutely fantastic! She took care of our dogs and cat while also house sitting, and the entire experience was incredibly smooth and stress-free. She kept us updated daily with photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. When we returned, our home was spotless, and our pets were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. It’s not always easy to leave your pets behind, but Amber made it effortless. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will absolutely be booking with her again. Highly recommend!”
About: I have hands-on experience caring for multiple dogs of different breeds and personalities, including my four dogs at home — two dachshunds, a yorkie, and a schnauzer. Over the years, I’ve been responsible for many aspects of their daily care, from feeding and walking to bathing, grooming, and administering medication when needed. Caring for several dogs at once has taught me patience, responsibility, and how to recognize each dog’s unique needs and behavior. I genuinely love animals and enjoy making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I also have experience helping family and friends with pet sitting, which has helped me become confident handling dogs in different environments and routines. My schedule is very flexible right now since I am home from college for the summer, so my availability is pretty wide open. I am available most days and can easily adjust to different pet care schedules, whether that’s daily visits, walks, feeding times, or overnight stays. The only times I am unavailable are Mondays and Wednesdays from 7:30–9:00 due to soccer practice. Outside of that, I have plenty of time and energy to dedicate to caring for pets and making sure they get the attention and care they need. Caring for animals has always been a big part of my everyday life. At home, I help take care of my four dogs and my cat by feeding them, walking them, bathing them, cleaning up after them, administering medication when needed, and making sure they always feel loved and comfortable. Having multiple pets has taught me how to manage different personalities, energy levels, and routines while still giving each pet the individual attention they deserve. I also have experience caring for other people’s pets in their homes through pet sitting for family and friends. I understand how important it is to keep pets comfortable in their own environment and to follow their normal routines as closely as possible. Whether it’s feeding schedules, playtime, walks, medication, or simply giving them company and affection, I make sure every pet feels safe, cared for, and happy while their owners are away
“Couldn't ask for a better sitter! Mackenzie treated Groot like a prince. Even though he's 125 lbs it was no problem for her. She was very attentive and extra kind. Im going to look forward to the next time she can dog sit for us!”
“Sarah agreed to watch our sweet pup last minute and did such a great job! She sent pics and updates and responded to all our inquiries promptly! She even complied with giving medications. Our dog came back healthy and happy (and tired from all the excitement)!”
About: I am new to professional pet sitting. I’ve always owned my own pets and care for them very well. I look forward to meeting you. I’m currently working full time from home. I’m more flexible at the end of the week during the day than the beginning of the week. I prefer specific instructions on how to properly care for your pet. Tell me what they need and I’ll get it done. Feel free to trust me.
About: I don’t just take care of the family furry paw members. I watch over the whole house. I make sure everything is taken care of while they are away. They are my first priority and my last when I’m helping someone else out. I take care of them before leaving for work and visit them when I return from work. It also depends if I’m staying at the house or just making stops in between the days. I have a fenced yard with a patio that is separate from the grass area. I have a doggy door so they can go in and out if they know how to use one. If not they learn while I have them in my care. My fur babies love playing with other dogs. If I’m at the clients home, they get lots of love and attention. I make sure they get their playing time in multiple times a day before bed time. If it’s not to hot I do try to squeeze a walk in even if it’s a small one.
About: I’ve loved and been surrounded by animals since I was born! I’ve been volunteering at my grandmother’s no-kill animal shelter since I could walk, and it’s given me the skills and compassion I need to take care of your furry friends! Whether they’re puppies or seniors- I’m here to help! I’m currently studying at Texas A&M University and I just finished up my Freshman year, so my schedule is decently packed. However, I’m here to help you, so let me know if you need me at least two days in advance and we can work out a date that works for both of us! Gig ‘em 👍! I cannot keep your furry friends in my home, as I have two very large dogs that aren’t super fond of strangers! However, I am more than happy to take a trip wherever you need me to keep your pet company while you can’t!
About: I’ve had had family dogs and taken care of others dogs off and on. Willing to work around your dogs needs! If you have any concerns don’t hesitate to reach out. I do work part-time and go to college full-time. I pet sit in my free time to pay for tuition. I will be graduating with my associates this fall. I have a fenced in back yard. My neighborhood has sidewalks and safe pathways. This also includes a dog park. There are no cats or dogs inside my current home.
About: I’m a retired educator and animal lover with the time and flexibility to give pets plenty of attention, companionship, and care. While I’m newer to professional pet sitting, I’ve cared for my own animals for years, completed two long-distance puppy transports from DFW to Charlotte and Los Angeles, and have repeat sitting experience with my cousin’s two dogs. I understand how important it is to have someone dependable and patient caring for your pets and home. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, whether that means walks, playtime, quiet companionship, or extra cuddles. I’m also comfortable giving basic medications if needed. What sets me apart is that I have the time to truly focus on your pets and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I also believe good communication matters, so I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind. I’m retired, so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to devote to caring for your pets. Because I’m home most of the day, your pet would receive lots of attention, companionship, and supervision rather than being left alone for long periods. I can easily work around your pet’s normal routine for feeding, walks, potty breaks, medications, playtime, or quiet time. My goal is to help pets feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed by keeping their routine as consistent as possible while you’re away. I understand that trusting someone with both your pets and your home is a big decision. I will always treat your home with respect and care while making your pet’s safety and comfort my top priority. I pay close attention to routines, instructions, and any special needs to help pets feel secure and stress-free in their familiar environment. I’m dependable, calm, and attentive, and I believe in keeping owners updated with regular communication and photos so you can feel confident and at ease while you’re away.
“Destini was so great! She took good care of our pups while we were out and stayed in touch with us. No doubt they were a bit trying at times but she handled it like a pro! Definitely recommend!”
About: I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and ages, I’m comfortable with puppies to senior dogs and love catering to their every need I can work any time, I am very flexible and would love to be your dependable go to person to take care of your doggie! I take care of pets in their environment (home) and will follow all instructions from the pet parent as well as do any extra duties needed for a wonderful experience
“Candace stayed at my house while I was gone for 4-5 days and took excellent care of my dog and my cat! Both of them are on meds and she was very willing & able to give them. My dog has anxiety, and she was so patient and good with him. He loved her! I highly recommend Candace and will definitely be booking her again in the future!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Woodrow
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 481 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Woodrow. 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 Woodrow 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 Woodrow 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 Woodrow 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.
