“100% book Bella! I wanted to cancel our planned trip because our typical friends/family couldn’t watch our animals, but I decided to give Rover a chance and I found Bella. It was so last minute that I contacted her, but she found time in her schedule to visit beforehand. She was enthusiastic and respectful, on top of giving the best love and care to our animals/house. I felt at ease while I was away with her responsiveness in communication and could trully enjoy our vacation. I never wanted to hug a stranger as much as I do her and I cannot thank her enough. Book Bella!”

“Mikayla was wonderful with our 3 fur babies. She is very comfortable and familiar with animals. You can just tell she is an animal lover and our dogs felt it. We have already scheduled an overnight visit with her and looking forward to many stays in the future! Definitely recommend ❤️🐾”

“Daniela was very friendly and communicative, and took fantastic care of our dogs. She’s asks questions proactively and goes the extra mile to ensure she’s prepared for any emergency that might be thrown her way. 10/10”

“Shannon is fantastic! The meet and greet was exceptional and her response to a last minute booking was very quick. She is so attentive to our dog’s needs related to medication (scheduled every 6 hours, 3 times a day and a fourth dose of meds at bedtime.) She communicated during the stay with pictures and texts. If I could give her a million stars I would. I HIGHLY recommend her to care for your pet.”

“It was a pleasure to work with Christine. This was my first time using Rover and I was so nervous.. Christine made the process easy and comfortable. Typically I bring Apollo with me where ever I go but let’s face it, that can be a lot of extra work. I needed to leave out of town unexpectedly and it was so nice to know Apollo was home in his own environment. Extra huge perk coming home to my house looking clean! Thanks Christine!”

About: I have over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for animals, beginning with early exposure to veterinary clinics where I spent time shadowing and learning animal handling and care from a young age. This foundation grew into professional veterinary technician experience, where I worked with dogs and cats of all ages, temperaments, and medical needs, including senior pets, puppies, and animals requiring daily medications or specialized care. In addition to my veterinary background, I volunteered with a service dog organization where I raised and trained future guide dogs. This experience strengthened my skills in leash training, socialization, crate training, and positive reinforcement methods while working with high-expectation working dogs in real-world environments. I also actively continue dog training as a personal passion and have earned three AKC Trick Dog titles with my own dog. Because of this, I’m very comfortable working with energetic dogs, reinforcing basic obedience, and providing structured enrichment during walks and visits. I currently share my home with two dogs and a cat, so I understand day-to-day pet care, multi-pet dynamics, and the importance of consistency and routine. As a pet owner myself, I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pets in someone else’s care, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. My goal is always to provide safe, reliable, and attentive care whether that means a structured walk, a drop-in visit, medication administration, or simply making sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away. Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine because I structure my day around consistency and flexibility. I am able to accommodate morning, midday, and afternoon visits, as well as regular walking schedules and drop-in care throughout the week. Because I have a flexible schedule, I can prioritize pet care visits and ensure pets receive attention, exercise, feeding, and companionship on time. I’m used to building my day around routines, whether that’s scheduled walks, feeding times, or medication needs. I value clear communication and reliability, and I make it a priority to be punctual and consistent with every visit so pets feel comfortable and cared for. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize maintaining their normal routine so they feel safe, comfortable, and secure while their owners are away. I follow all instructions closely regarding feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any specific care needs. During drop-in visits, I make sure pets receive attention, fresh water, feeding if needed, potty breaks, playtime, and any required medication. I also take time to provide companionship and help pets feel calm and comfortable before leaving. For dog walking, I focus on safe, structured walks that match the dog’s energy level and needs. I pay close attention to leash manners, surroundings, and each dog’s comfort level to ensure a positive experience. I always treat each home with respect, keep things clean and organized, and provide updates so owners feel informed and confident while they are away.
About: I have three pups and two kitties. They are my world! I have had a pet since I was a child. I have plenty of experience with animals. I am working a part time job and can be available for pet sitting needs whenever you need me to be. I can change my schedule at any time. I love walking and playing with dogs. We can travel if needed to a dog park or a fun walk. I have pup friends I can bring along if needed.
“Mark did an incredible job while housesitting our pets. He was very communicative throughout the entire process from first meeting until he left the house. We got plenty of pictures/videos from the stay. He even made us aware of an issue going on with the house and worked with us to resolve it. When we returned home the pets looked well taken care of and the house may have cleaner than when we left. We will absolutely be using Mark again and you can ensure that your pets will be in good hands with him.”

“Liv arrived on time, communicated throughout the time she was with our pets and left the house clean. Our pets were healthy & happy upon our return. I'd recommend Liv to others that need pet care.”


About: I’ve taken care of my family’s animals since a toddler. In high school I created a pet walking/sitting business in my area and have a cat of my own. You can rely on me for all things pets! As a remote freelancer, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide care throughout the day. Being able to create my own schedule allows me to adjust my routine according to your babies needs. I’m naturally active, so daily walks and playtime are already part of my routine. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for. Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, my goal is to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while sticking to their normal routine. As a freelancer I am able to adjust my schedule based on your pets needs/personality and I can provide your pet company as I work.
“Ted was absolutely awesome! We always feel so comfortable leaving Waylon at home when we are out of town because we know Ted has him in the best of care! He is super responsive and always sends pictures each day of the adventures that they had. We are so thankful to have him!”

About: My goal for when taking care of others animals is to make sure they’re comfortable and feel like they’re part of the family while their family is away. I’ve been surrounded by dogs and animals my entire life. Ive had many dogs as well and trained them myself. I’m now a certified trainer as I love the challenge it brings. If there is another animal such as, bunnies, rats, lizards, ferrets, etc… I’ve taken care of them all and more! Provide me with the info as to what animal needs to be cared for and I’m sure I can take them in. ***( All animals I have at home are use to different types of animals. You can rest easy knowing they will not be bothered by my animals if they’re not use to them)*** Je parle aussi français For the most part I’m at home Monday through Sunday. Friday, Saturday & Sunday I’m out for three hours in the morning working. Potty breaks are always available:) I have a puppy and a cat. Treats and love are always available. If there are any food allergies I’m use to this, it’s not a problem. If they need a bath I’m happy to do so ☺️ I make homemade treats but I always ask when I meet with you if they can have them.
“Mia is THE BEST of THE BEST!!!! I would give her a million stars if I could! She took the best care of my babies and you could tell they really loved her! I would recommend her to anybody and everybody! Thank you, Mia for taking care of my babies!”


About: At the height of my career, I have taken care of four rescue dogs all at once for an entire week straight! None of the dogs fought and they all felt comfortable around me. I am available to let dogs out all day and provide them with belly rubs and entertainment. I am currently unemployed and would like to take this up full time if possible. I have a cat at home, but he’s low maintenance and I am able to juggle that with dog-sitting. I can comfortably allow a cat and a small or medium dog into my apartment if they would prefer boarding. I am good to travel to sit more so, because I do not have a yard. But I do live in a dog-friendly complex.
“We had a great visit with Aniston! She was super communicative during her stay with photos and messages about our pups. She left the house in perfect condition as well! Would highly recommend her and hope to use her again in the near future!”

“Kathryn did an amazing job taking care of my two dogs. She was very thoughtful and communicated well while I was away. She kept the house tidy and the dogs seemed happy when I returned. I would highly recommend her services!”

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.
