“This was the first time Allison took care if my dogs. The dates had to change- twice! Both times Allison was great about the changes. I returned to two very happy dogs! I’ve already requested her services for another weekend!”
“Skylar was phenomenal. She was extremely communicative and I was able to travel knowing my dogs were in excellent hands. I cannot recommend her enough if you’re looking for a sitter!”
“This was our second time using Katie. We got great photos every day, she brought mail and packages in. She even did our recycling cans for us. House looked amazing when we got home, and we knew our dog and cat were well loved.”
“Alyssa was wonderful. She was great with our grouchy, blind 15 year old toy poodle and she followed all instructions including medication. Easy going and trustworthy. Sent us notes and photo updates. Highly recommend her.”
“Samantha has cared for our dog (and home) twice now. Again we returned home to a happy pup and clean home. Samantha kept us informed and sent photos, and I wholeheartedly recommend her.”
“This was my second booking with Alise, and it went just as well as if not better than the first! She has charmed my very skittish dog, which is no small feat. Alise is communicative, courteous, and kind, and sends daily updates with photos! Forever grateful to have found such a wonderful sitter.”
“Angela was very prompt, responsible, and communicative. I booked her a few weeks in advance, she came over once to meet my dog and get an idea of her routine. She then came back the day before my trip for a refresher. She took care of my dog exactly as we had discussed and sent regular pictures and updates while I was gone. My home was exactly as I left it when I got back. Would definitely use Angela again!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities since I was young. I grew up with dogs in my home and currently have two dogs of my own, so I know how much our pets mean to us and how important it is to find someone you can trust with them. I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I truly love all fur babies and would be so excited to care for yours! 🐾❤️ I am currently a part time student at Anne Arundel community college. I also have a part time job. My weekends are available. Weekdays I have a lot of free time during the day between classes before I head to work at 2:30-5:30 (usual hours). Safety is my top priority when caring for your pets. I will always make sure they are supervised, secure, and comfortable, whether we are out on a walk, during a drop-in visit, or staying overnight. I follow each pet’s routine and any instructions you provide, including feeding schedules, medications, walks, and anything else that helps them feel at home.
“Emily was extremely professional, attentive, and caring with my cats while she house sat for me over the weekend during my trip to Maine. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing all four of my cats were accounted for, fed, and cared for, and I really appreciated the check-in photos and updates throughout the weekend. She let me know when they had breakfast, when she was heading out for the night, and kept their routine consistent while I was away. Emily was kind, friendly, and wonderful with my animals. I highly recommend her as a pet sitter — she did an amazing job!”
“Owen was fantastic. Not only was he responsive but the dogs were well taken care of. They were walked, fed, played with, and given a lot of love. While he was watching the pups he also kept the house clean. I got daily pictures ands updates which helped to put my mind at ease about my pups while I was on vacation. I will use Owen again”
“Jennifer did a great job watching our dogs and cat (and bunny). Even with rough weather and power outages, the animals were in good hands. Thank you for keeping them healthy, happy and entertained.”
“Outstanding! Erica house sat for us for 10 days while we were in Europe and cared for our two Portuguese Water Dogs. She came for a house visit and meet and greet before we left, was here when we departed and when we returned to ensure smooth transitions and she provided daily updates, photos and videos. We had never left our dogs for that long yet they exhibited no signs of stress upon our return. Erica left our home clean snd tidy and even brought in our mail. I highly recommend Erica and will definitely use her services again. Thank you Erica for your stellar care of our family!”
About: I moved away from my parents, but have been the primary care of my dog since she was a pup. I need more animal love! I've also dog sat for my grandmother and neighbors! I work as a teacher nearby, I get off work at 3:30 most days and can be over by 3:45. If it is summer time, it will be lots of time to spend! I care a lot about animals both in how I treat them, and how they are handled by me and others. Obviously you have your rules with your pets that I will follow, but I will never be aggressive, I will treat them with love and care like they are my own. I will also play a lot with them if they want, I will match the energy of your pet!
“When my other Rover cancelled on me last minute Julion happily stepped in and did an absolutely fantastic job watching my dog while I was away. Cannot say enough good things about his service and professionalism. From the pet care, daily updates, pictures, I would use him over and over and will recommend him to any and all.”
“Alina is amazing! She is attentive and provides frequent updates that are detailed. I highly recommend using her. One of my dogs had a vomit issue and she handled it so well! Alina is also very sweet. I will definitely be contacting her again for when I’m traveling.”
“Tabitha is WONDERFUL! My dog is very emotionally needy (has anxiety), and I needed a sitter very last minute. Tabitha came to the rescue and was so attentive with Franny and did such a good job with her! I really trust her and i can’t wait to use her again 🙂”
“Lindsey was amazing with my dogs who can be a lot at times. They immediately loved her and it’s wonderful to be able to travel and know your dogs are taken care of. I can’t enjoy my trips if I’m worried about the dogs and Lindsey provided constant updates so I knew they were in excellent hands.”

This is the second time I used Gabrielle and she was excellent again. She took great care of my golden - she was so loving to her and handled all her needs. She left my home is better condition than she found it, lol. Without being asked, the houseplants were watered, she took the trash out, cleaned the dog bowls and vaccuumed. I will definitely use her again and highly recommend her if you need a great pet sitter!
Keeara was honestly so great and gave me all the reassurance I needed for my two pups. It’s always hard for me to leave my dogs in the care of somebody else because I’m so particular and very paranoid about it overall but I definitely trust her and wouldn’t hesitate to let her watch my dogs again which says a lot. Her communication was a 10/10 even when an emergency in her own family came up she still prioritized the care of my dogs as well. Thank you so much again!! So grateful for her care.
Had an overall positive experience with Noor. There was good communication and both dogs seemed very comfortable with her and well cared for during her stay in our home. I appreciated the pictures of the pups each day as I am very protective of them and it eased my mind to see them relaxed in their own environment.
We couldn't be happier. From the moment we met Linda, we felt completely at ease leaving both our dog and our home in her care. She was warm, professional, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. While we were away, Linda kept us updated with regular messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear our dog was not only well cared for, but truly happy and comfortable. She also took amazing care of our home—everything was spotless and orderly. It’s not easy to find someone you fully trust with both your pet and your home, but Linda exceeded all expectations. We feel so lucky to have found her and will absolutely be using her again.
Camryn did a great job with our dogs! We will definitely try to work with her again in the future if her schedule allows. She was caring, provided photos during her time with them, and made us feel comfortable that our dogs were well taken care of in our absence. I would definitely recommend her to others.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Woods Edge on Rover is $48.84 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 8,463 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Woods Edge. 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 Woods Edge 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 Edge 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 Edge 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.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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.
