“We used Bonnie for the first time this week for an in home stay! We have 5 dogs and farm animals. It was so refreshing to leave town and not have to worry about their care. Bonnie was sure to to send updates and pictures throughout the day. On our return, the dogs were happy and the house was in order just how we left it and then some. I would recommend her to anyone looking for pet care, and look forward to using her in the future. Thank you, Bonnie!!!”
“She did an amazing job watching our dogs and cat! She was very kind, caring, and thorough, and our animals took to her right away. She met with us beforehand to go over everything, which made me feel very comfortable leaving them in her care. I really appreciated how detailed she was with her updates, especially letting me know when the animals had been fed and keeping me informed of anything that came up. There really weren’t any issues, but on the occasions when something did come up, I appreciated that she communicated it with me rather than leaving me wondering. She was absolutely lovely to work with, and I could tell she genuinely cared about our pets. I would definitely hire her again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and dependable to care for their animals!”
“Terry was great! We were visiting Florida from out of town and needed a sitter for 8+ hours with fairly short notice. Our sweet pup isn't always a fan of strangers - especially when we're leaving him with them. Terry was able to win him over - and even sent me a video of her giving him a belly rub! Not only was she willing to stay with him the entire time, but she brought him two toys - one being a stuffed alligator which has become his favorite since we've returned home! Terry clearly loves animals and I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone to spoil their pet while they're away - she's Dudley approved!”
“Leaving your furry family members for an extended period of time is never easy. Hailey helped to make the situation as good as it could have been. She was conscientious of our needs and very respectful of our home. We loved receiving updates and pictures during her stay and she was always quick to respond whenever we would reach out. We found Hailey to be diligent, trustworthy and prompt. We have already scheduled her next stay.”
About: I have cared for domestic pets of all kinds - cats, dogs (all sizes), birds, turtles, lizards, etc - as a sitter and for fun. My aunt (whom my mother lives with) is a dog trainer as well as a breeder (Cavalier King Charles Spaniel) 25+ yrs. I grew up volunteering my time doing puppy evaluations, crate-training, potty-training, etc. I frequently babysit my friends pets while they are away, and have cats of my own at the house! I recently resigned my job as a firefighter, and have extra time in my schedule to have a side gig I care about. Walks, hikes, runs and swims if the dog is active! I understand each pet as it’s own needs and individual personalities. I care for other pets as they were my own, and I hope to make a great fit as a sitter for you! I am available 24/7 for pet care (overnight or drop-ins) as I recently resigned from my job to move to FL with my partner. I am currently looking for a full-time job. So call me! I live in an apartment complex with a large, fenced in dog park. It’s location is safe, next to a middle school. We have plenty of empty space to watch pets over night in separate rooms, or let them roam free depending on their personal needs. Additionally, the complex is located next to an outdoor recreation area with walking trails and sidewalks.
About: I currently take care of two dogs and one cat in my house. I've taken care of my house pets since I was a kid (three dogs, three cats) Out of school for the summer and don't have class unit August. Even if I can't stay over we can still discuss arrangements for me to come over when I'm out of class. Feed them in the morning and late afternoon (or if client had a requested feeding time), take them for a nice walk, and play with the animals to keep them active
“Our 2 girls love Jadine. She took great care of them. She sent pictures and kept us informed. ALSO While away I was sick and hospitalized. Jadine was able to work it out to stay longer. Our minds and hearts were at ease with Jadine! HIGHLY RECCOMEND.”
“Second time having Angela come watch my fur babies. She stays in our home for a few days and nights… keeps the place tidy, sends photos and she has done fantastic with my dogs and two cats. I’ll be booking her again, and again.”

“Shaya was absolutely wonderful! She took such great care of our pups and our home. She followed all of our home and dog instructions perfectly, had the house super clean when we returned, towels cleaned and folded, sheets washed, bed made, floors cleaned, dishwasher ran. Most importantly the dogs were perfectly fine, fed, watered, and happy! We are so happy to have found a trustworthy dog and home sitter we can use moving forward because that can be difficult and inhibit people from taking trips. Highly recommend Shaya. We will absolutely use her again in the future if she will allow us! Thank you, Shaya! Drax and Lilu look forward to seeing you again for our next trip!”
About: Im in my 50's but Ive always loved animals since i was very young.. i was in 4-H as a teenager & thats when I started petsitting. When I was 28 i started my petsitting/housesitting business. I had that business for 20 years in Ohio. We moved here in 2019. I have continued my petsitting here & love what I do! My visits are about 30 minutes. I do feeding, watering, litter boxes, medications, insulin is okay also. I will bring in the mail and newspaper and water plants & fill birdfeeders. I enjoy walking dogs as well as playing with them in their yard. I am comfortable with many other pets including cats, Birds, fish ()I have a 40 gallon aquarium, & a 10 gallon) hamsters, gerbils (& other rodents) guinea pigs, ferrets, rabbits, iguanas and other lizards. Thank you so much! I also have experience with horses, ducks, goats & a few cows lol! Petsitting is my career so thats my priority. Visits are tailored to your pets needs. I like to schedule as far in advance as possible so I work my days off around what I have in the book. I tailor my visits according to your pet's needs. I can do as many visits per day as you would like. I can also stay longer if you need. When I do "housesitting " , its a bedtime visit, sleepover & morning visit before I head out for other clients. I will do as many drop-in visits as you would like during the day before I return for the overnight (housesit).
“Lynne is exceptionally kind and thorough with her care. She was patient in getting to know Viva and provided lots of pictures and updates. She stayed at my home and left it in the exact order it was when she arrived. I highly recommend her and will be utilizing her services again.”
“Our pups love Lindsay and we’ve been so grateful for her flexibility this most recent booking. Our house needed some repairs while she was dog sitting and she was so patient with the requests related to that.”
“Christian was absolutely amazing! From the moment we left, we knew our dog was in great hands. He went far above and beyond anything we expected—not only giving our dog plenty of love, attention, and excellent care, but also taking wonderful care of our home, plants, and everything else while we were away. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our dog was being treated like family. Christian was reliable, thoughtful, communicative, and genuinely cared about making sure everything was taken care of. We came home to a happy dog, a well-kept house, and thriving plants. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would recommend Christian without hesitation to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring. Five stars isn’t enough!”
“Amazing house/pet sitter 10/10 experience. Jessica was very good with communicating and taking care of all of my pets needs. She treated my babies like family and provided amazing updates during our vacation. I highly recommend.”
“Courtney did a great job taking care of our pups. We came had some fun updates while we were gone and the dogs respond well to her. Our home was in great condition and it was obvious our pets were taken great care of…. We felt bad our cable was out all weekend and she just made due…bless her heart! We would highly recommend Courtney We will definitely use her again.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Woods and Lakes
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Woods and Lakes on Rover is $77.7 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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 Woods and Lakes 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 Woods and Lakes 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 Woods and Lakes 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.
