“Laura was great. Our dog adjusted to her super quickly and she gave us updates throughout the week. The house was clean and well taken care of which capped off a worry-free dog sitting experience. We will definitely be booking with Laura again in the future.”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs ever since I was 5 years old. Family and friends have relied on me to watch their dogs and let them out when there weren’t home. I have had all types of dogs ranging from aggressive rescues to seniors. I’m currently working part time so I have weekends and at least 3 weekdays off but sometimes get off early. I can stop by anytime when I’m not working. I will be coming to your house to feed, play, and let your dog out and if need be sleep over. If need be I will put them on a leash and walk them, but if you have a fenced yard that’s great.
“Courtney showed up on time and was present for my pups while I was out of town. My pups were well taken care of and happy! I appreciated that Courtney stayed in touch with me while I was gone and made sure I made it home. Not only would I recommend her but would gladly hire her again!”
“Jayne is a jewel! We were a little nervous about being away for so many days because our pup is older and a little quirky. After meeting Jayne and seeing how comfortable Lexi was with her, we knew we were leaving her in good hands. She sent messages and pictures and made it possible to have a worry free vacation. The daily log she did was very sweet. She has the experience and a good sense of humor and I am confident that she is able to handle any situation that would come up. Extremely happy with the care she gave our pup (and the flowers!)”
About: I have taken care of my pets my whole life and now I’ve got a pittie of my own so I will love and care for your pet like they are my own. I work full time at Wildwood Wildlife Park and Zoo as a zookeeper. I get two days off during the week but they are random unless I take off. I am able to move my schedule around to be fully available for your pet if needed, you would have to give me at least a week in advance. Otherwise I am free after work and overnight at anytime I am completely comfortable taking your dog for walks or the park. Anything you would like me to do. I have a car hammock in my car to keep them comfortable and safe.
“Hannah was so good with my fur babies!! Spending the weekend with them in their own home means so much to us. We were able to totally relax knowing our 3 dogs were comfortable at home in their own surroundings and being loved on. Such a great experience I may actually go places now!!!”
“Katie watched our two pitties for three nights in our home, and she was absolutely fantastic to work with!! She came over a few weeks before the scheduled weekend to meet with us, and within a few minutes I knew she was going to love our pups as much as we do! Some people might have been hesitant to stay with bully breed type dogs, but Katie was confident and saw no issues after getting to know them. Her communication kept my nerves at bay, and she provided many cute pictures and updates throughout the weekend. Based on her pictures, I think she got plenty of snuggles! I felt very trusting of Katie and will absolutely book with her again!!”
“Melissa was AMAZING! She watched our mini golden doodle for 6 days and took such good care of her. She sent tons of pictures and kept us notified. Not to mention, she went above and beyond whenever there was an issue. We look forward to booking her again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Woodruff
Laura did a great job taking care of our two dogs! Our larger rescue dog has anxiety when we leave and she seemed very at home with Laura almost right away. Both dogs seemed very happy and calm when we returned. Laura even took them on a walk and played ball with them. I can highly recommend her!

FAQs for House Sitting - Woodruff
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Woodruff on Rover is $44.4 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 30 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
