“Briley was amazing. She was conscientious with our senior dog and coaxed him into taking his many pills. Our little rescue who doesn’t like most people let her guard down with Briley and made a new friend! She followed all our instructions to a T and we will hopefully be having her back soon!”
“We are so lucky to have Emily as a sitter! She protected my Sheltie by picking him up and running with him when a loose dog started charging toward them. Grateful beyond words. I highly recommend her!”
“Thanks so much for accommodating my last minute booking and taking good care of the pups while I was out of town! So nice getting pics and knowing pups are well cared for while being gone.”
“We wanted someone to watch our dogs on the 4th of July because our dog gets scared of fireworks. We had never left him before for the 4th, but Alyssa did such an amazing job being there for our doggos!! She kept us updated with pictures and did a tremendous job!”
“Lily was absolutely fantastic! She kept us updated with photos and texts and made sure that all of our animals felt comfortable the whole time she stayed. I will absolutely be using her next time we go out of town!”
“Lilia was amazing with our rescue pup, Berkley! She is super calm and kind - we could tell our Berkley already felt comfortable around her the first time she met her! She sent us many photos throughout the weekend. She was very communicative and professional. We would recommend her to any friend or family member!”
About: I have cared for and owned animals of all shapes and sizes for my entire life, including dogs, cats, horses, gerbils, guinea pigs, hamsters, rats, mice, pigs, and goats! I am very experienced in feeding, watering, cleaning up after them, administering medication and supplements, playing, and snuggling. I am also very active, so I would love to take your dog of any size on a walk or run! I'm currently working part-time and my schedule is very flexible, so I can easily work around your and your pet's needs! I will always treat your animals like they are my own, so their care and happiness is my number one priority, no matter what else is going on in my schedule. I am extremely clean, organized, and reliable. I used to work for the government with a Classified clearance, and I have been certified in CPR and First Aid. I am also very tech savvy and handy, so rest assured I will close and lock every gate, door, and alarm with ease.
“Erika is awesome with our puppy Lola. She has been timely, reliable and trustworthy. We feel comfortable and happy knowing our puppy is in safe hands! We have enjoyed getting to know and working with Erika and we would recommend her to other pet owners!”
About: I always insure that pets are comfortable! I’ve taken care of old cats and dogs, and I when they are old like that it’s important to meet their needs first, as most of the time they need a lot of guidance and help. I am currently going into online college, so most of my day is free! I often sit down and watch TV or play video games, but I mostly enjoy writing and drawing in my free time I personally like to ask owners how there pets are in the company of others, as well as if any weather bugs them! The comfort of my pets, and owners is always my number 1 priority! I want to make sure that they are comfortable around me, and I never approach any animal until I’ve let them sniff me, it’s important that they trust me to be around them.

“Daniel was GREAT while house sitting my golden! Very attentive and sent daily photos and even daily logs. I have already booked Daniel for another stay and will continue to book him in the future.”

About: I’ve taken care of pets for as long as I can remember. I’ve taken care of friends, family, and neighbors’ pets since I was about 15 doing drop in visits, going on walks and much more! I currently have a dog, two cats and 4 fish. I love taking care of animals! I work at my family’s business and have pretty flexible work hours. I can leave if needed to take care of pets during the day. With a schedule there should be no problem any day of the week. I take great pride in making sure each pet is loved, safe, and well taken care of. Cats and dogs are safe under my watch and will be well loved.
“Omar is really a very good dog sitter, he is sweet, calm, knowledgeable, he is a natural! Our two labs Floki and Raven loved him, they are big energetic dogs and he was able to handle them both with no problems, he even walked them together!! I will definitely book him again and recommend him as responsible and respectful.”
“Sean was amazing! He pulled thru at 10ish pm after my other sitter up and left without warning or explanation. He saved my vacation and even better he gave the dogs a great time. Everything was clean and in its place when I got back. Animals seemed content also, great pics that added to them seeming very comfortable with him. Great communication also. ? Definitely hiring him again for my pups. Amazing experience.”
“Olivia was absolutely fantastic while we were on a family vacation! She took care of Stevie and loved her as her own while we were gone. She also took great care of our house and left it cleaner than when we left for vacation. We will absolutely book services again with Olivia and highly recommend her.”
“Our dogs seemed so happy bin the pictures and they sent daily pictures of all 4 of our fur babies! They came a day early to meet our dogs so they would be more familiar to them. Definitely recommend!!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Woodruff
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 995 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Woodruff. 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 Woodruff 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 Woodruff 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 Woodruff 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.
