About: I have a BS in Animal Science and have 5 years direct experience working with animals. I’ve also worked with a 2 month old puppy, volunteered at my local animal shelter, as well as received Volunteer of the Year award during that time. I've walked dogs, changed cats litter, fed rabbits, and made sure all animals in the shelter had fresh food and water, as well as clean spaces. I’ve always had a caring heart for animals, and am looking forward to taking care of you and your beloved pets! Tambien hablo español! My regular full time job is an accountant. M/F I am free in the mornings and evenings, and weekends I am available as well. Having a consistent work schedule for my regular job gives me more flexibility to do what I want in my free time. I adopted a bird a few years ago and have loved taking care of her. She is a cockatiel, and takes certain weekly/monthly maintenance requirements, which shows I'm careful in what I do. Myself being also a fit athletic person makes me a good fit for all size dogs and cats, which I have experience working with at my local animal shelter.
“Caroline was fantastic with our Golden Retriever and Border Collie this weekend! She clearly has a great way with dogs both of ours came home happy, relaxed, and well cared for. She kept us updated throughout the stay, which gave us total peace of mind. We’d absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, dog loving sitter!””
“The dogs, and cats, absolutely loved Cameron. Which is quite impressive for my babies! And he sent updates by photo and messages letting us know what fun activities they were doing. Will definitely book with Cameron next time we leave town!!”
“Julie is Fantastic! She took great care of my senior terrier, and my old girl who only really likes me warmed up to Julie quickly. Communication was Reliable and always quick, and I received great photos. I will be booking again!”
“Amber was a great puppy sitter for 9 week old Ace. She was very respectful of our apartment and provided great updates throughout the day about Ace! Would recommend Amber to anyone looking for someone to walk or house sit with a puppy!”
“Catrine “Cat” was everything I could have asked for. My regular sitter cancelled a month before my vacation and I found Cat on here. We did a meet and greet and my boys were comfortable with her, which isn’t always the case. They can be selective. Leading up to the booking Cat reached out to offer to come over the morning before I left to make sure she had all the information she needed, which I appreciated. While away she kept in daily contact with text and pictures assuring me the boys were safe, well taken care of and having a great time. She was concerned my one dog was looking a bit skinny because I had changed his food and asked if take could feed him more, for her to notice and ask was a great feeling knowing she was paying attention to them. My other boys takes medication and she had no problem giving him his “pill pocket” twice a day. My dogs have a walker and she texted me commenting on how happy the boys seemed to be with Cat. She was respectful of my home and it was neat and tidy and the bed sheets and towels were washed and folded, above and beyond. If you want to leave your animals in caring, loving hands then Cat is your person. She will definitely be my go to for future sitting during my vacations.”
About: I've been caring for pets my whole life! They're my world! I can wash, play, feed, administer medication and keep them safe and happy. I treat all animals like close family members. I'm available most weekdays after 6 and all weekends and holidays, and if there's bad weather, I'll have work off so I'm available then too! I treat your pets like very close family, safety, health, and happiness is above all else. You can expect a very happy fur baby when you get home.
“Christine was a fantastic sitter for us! We appreciated her great communication, all the attention she gave our pup, and how well she took care of our place. We will be sure to check if she is available next time we are out of town 😄”
“Landon took great care of our 2 Goldens while we were away for almost a week! He stayed in our home and every thing was clean when we got home. He checked in with consistent updates and I know the girls had the best time. Thank you Landon!”
“Nathalia is the best! This is my first experience on Rover and she did not disappoint! She kept my 2 month old puppy entertained which can be tough so i’m so grateful for that! She made sure to update me on how my puppy was doing and did everything I asked perfectly. So nice and would definetly have her house sit again!”
“We have had Lindsay house sit for us many times and she always takes such good care of our dogs and home. She is provides frequent updates, treats our home and dogs as her own, and has become our go-to for when we are out of town. Couldn’t recommend Lindsay more.”
“I am a new tender hearted dog owner who was so nervous to leave my pup. Nichole put me at ease and took wonderful care of Red. Daily updates and pics were great and kept me from worrying. She took great care of my house too. I will be asking Nichole again anytime I need a dog sitter!”
“Catherine was a wonderful care taker for ours pups! She was so attentive and communicative with us as well. She spoiled our fur babies and we can’t wait to have her back next time we travel.”
“Our dog loved Devin immediately during the meet & greet, which made us feel super comfortable with him taking care of our boy! Devin’s communication was excellent and we appreciated all of the updates and pics during his stay. We will definitely be requesting Devin’s services again!”
About: I have taken care of cats, dogs, and many other small pets since since 10 years old. I also currently pet sit for my sister's dog and cat regularly. I have always loved animals and put lots of effort into giving them the best care possible. I am very responsible and great at independent work. I will make sure your pets are taken care of well every time! I am currently a full-time student. I usually have the most time in the afternoons/evenings for walking or check-ins. I’m also available all day on Saturdays and Sundays. I am not able to care for pets in my own home, as I already have two cats that don't do well with other animals. However, I have a reliable car and driver's license, so I am willing to travel anywhere to take care of your pets. I can follow instructions well and will make sure to take great care of your pets and your home.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for 13 years and genuinely love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I understand how important it is for pet parents to know their furry family members are safe, happy, and well cared for while they’re away. I’m patient, dependable, and attentive to each dog’s individual needs, whether that means going for walks, playing, sticking to a feeding schedule, administering basic medications if needed, or simply providing companionship and plenty of affection. I also understand that some dogs need extra time to warm up, while others have lots of energy and love to play. My goal is to make every pet feel comfortable, loved, and cared for as if they were my own. I believe in keeping pet parents updated with photos and messages so they can have peace of mind while they’re away. I’m currently looking for job so my week is free for anyone who needs their furry little critters to look after them while you are away! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, exercise needs, medications (if applicable), and any special instructions you provide. When caring for pets in your home, I treat both your home and your pet with the utmost respect. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, keep your home clean and secure, make sure your pet has fresh water, regular potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and lots of attention. I’ll also provide updates with photos and messages so you can feel confident your pet is doing well. I understand that every pet is different, so I adapt my care to their personality and needs, whether they enjoy active play, quiet companionship, or extra patience while they settle in.

Pavel is out go-to anytime we go out of town! We have him stay out our house and it eliminates any anxiety that we would ever have about our home and our pets. He always does an great job and that gives us peace of mind when we need to be away. We would highly recommend!
Caroline was fantastic with our Golden Retriever and Border Collie this weekend! She clearly has a great way with dogs both of ours came home happy, relaxed, and well cared for. She kept us updated throughout the stay, which gave us total peace of mind. We’d absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, dog loving sitter!”
Nichole is a top notch dog sitter. She stayed with our older greyhound in our home for five nights. She provided updates and was excellent at communicating. Our dog was happy and well taken care of while we were away. We will definitely have Nichole stay with him again!
Alex did a wonderful job watching our two babies on a last minute request. He was clean and tidy, even went to the extent of removing his bed sheets (which was very thoughtful) and making sure the trash was taken out when he was finished with his stay. He made sure our pup got all of his medications and was a great house guest.
Tiffany was the best kitty babysitter! She sent us so many photos and videos of our babies while we were gone. One of my cats got scared of the fireworks and Tiffany sat in our unfinished basement with her to help her feel safe. She kept our home clean and did exactly as we asked. The cats were happy when we arrived back home. We will definitely work with Tiffany again in the future!

Thankful for the availability, communication and response time in finding a sitter for the dogs. The meet and greet was nice with Trista beforehand and for her to feel comfortable with the dogs/home. It looks like food got mixed up during the weekend and I also had to deep clean upon return home for some pet messes. I'd consider Trista for when we are in a pinch but with better written instructions.

The average cost of House Sitting in Woods Cross is $32 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $21 and $53 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 Cross 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 Cross 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Cross 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 , 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 .
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
