Hannah did such a wonderful job with our mini Aussie. He is very timid and anxious with strangers because he has been bounced from shelter to shelter before we adopted him. Benny warmed up to Hannah and allowed her to give him belly rubs!

Misty and Fiona were a dream team. From the first meet and greet we knew we had found the purr-fect sitters for our "girls". Misty provided daily personal notes assuring us everything was going well and photos to make us smile. 😊 Fiona was awesome getting our shy girl to trust her enough to cuddle and snuggle and play. Our older cat warmed up to them quickly and enjoyed all of the attention. As I told Misty, this is the first time I went away and felt comfortable that our two girls were in safe and loving hands. We are already rebooking them for our next trip in November. We'd highly recommend them if you are looking for more than someone to feed and clean up after your pets.

About: I have had dogs my entire life. I’ve had multiple dogs that I’ve raised from puppies into adulthood. So I have experience with every age of dog I can give medication like it’s nobody’s business. I can also handle a puppy. I’m currently working part-time at a restaurant so I either work in the morning or in the afternoon so it gives me plenty of time to be with your dog and give them lots of love I have been dog sitting since four years and have always stayed at a person‘s house. I am a bit of a neat freak so I always clean and can promise that you will come back to a clean house.

About: My family and friends have entrusted me to take care of their pets many times these last few years. The last 3 summers I have been lucky enough to do long-term stays with my friend's 4 dogs and cat to help build my experience with pets. Additionally, my family has 2 Rhodesian Ridgebacks of our own, so I am no stranger to larger dogs! I am currently working part-time on the weekends so my week is normally pretty free. Since I am an incoming college student, I have some commitments throughout the summer, but have no problem talking about those with clients! I will treat your pets as if they were my own and make them as comfortable as possible while you are away. I know it can be a stressful time for them while your gone, so I hope to be a calming presence where they can relax and have fun!

About: I’ve always loved to help out friends and family with pet care. Since high school, I’ve had the opportunity to take care of dogs of all ages and types, whether it be an elderly lab or a 9-month old whippet. I love making sure pups are loved and cared for! I am currently pet sitting as a full time gig. However, in August I will be transitioning to a full time job. Pet care would be a priority, stopping in and doing early mornings, checking in the evenings, or even staying the night is something I am more than happy to do to make sure your pet gets the care and attention they need! While I do not have a fenced in yard, my neighborhood is next to a park and full of beautiful walking paths. I have four wonderful kitties at home, all of which are used to being around dogs and other animals!

Well Ms. Mo did it again - she is a cat whisperer, we are convinced! Our two boys love her so much that they end up saying “Ms. Mo” instead of “Meow” when we return from a vacation. We schedule our trips around her schedule because we don’t want to have to think about having anyone else care for our fur children. Thank you Ms. Maureen for always going above and beyond, we are very grateful we found you. ❤️🐱

About: What sets me apart is the genuine compassionate care I bring to ensuring your pet feels completely safe, loved, and understood while you are away. I focus on creating a gentle, stress-free environment tailored entirely to your furry friends’ comforting daily routines. Beyond dogs and cats, I have specialized experience with the delicate needs of small animals like rabbits, and would be more than happy to care for pets of any size! I am a recent GW grad and I have a very flexible schedule. Aside from doing occasional tutoring sessions throughout the week, I am home for the majority of the day and have the time to dedicate myself to taking care of your furry friend! When caring for pets in their own space, my primary goal is to maintain their established routine exactly as they know it to minimize anxiety. When a pet stays with me, they are welcomed into a structured, highly supervised, and pet-safe environment designed to feel like a second home. I love all animals and want to make them feel safe in any environment!

About: I’m a teacher, so during the school year I can board any time and care for your pet as you would while you’re working and during the summer I can give them my attention and am more flexible to house sit as well! I had an Australian shepherd so I am used to keeping up with the energy of any dog. I have been a reliable dog-sitter and walked for neighbors and friends for years. I am in an apartment but am always excited to get out and walk, plus there is a typically vacant dog park that I could use for some play and more space while I am boarding! Feel free to give me ALL the info to make you feel comfortable leaving your baby in my care. (I’m was a crazy dog mom who made emergency contact lists for my dog-sitter before) no judgement here! I’m a teacher, so during the school year I can board any time and care for your pet as you would while you’re working. My typical hours are 7-5. During the summer I can give them a lot more of my attention working part time 8-2 and am more flexible to house sit as well! I will always move at your pets pace, even if they’re a little nervous and I know how nerve racking it can be to leave your pet with a stranger. I’m hoping to make you both comfortable!

About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was little. I can really connect with them easily! It makes me happy that your pets are taken care of! Anytime, just let me know! I take time in my schedule to go to the gym as well, but that can be moved around if anything pops up! I have a fenced yard, so for my dogs I usually get toys out and play with them for a good bit. Maybe throw in some training treats for new skills. I can walk your pets, and learn what they love doing in your home! Even if that means cuddle time too!

Jess was wonderful with my little Aussie — she was patient when taking her for a walk and made sure she could romp around our yard, but also made sure her paws were clean when she came in. She also made sure to check in on our other animals to make sure everyone had what they needed. Looking forward to continuing to work with Jess.

About: I have raised my own dog since she was ten weeks old, mentored by my father who has raised three litters of puppies throughout his life. I have also done pet-sitting for friends and family for dogs as small as beagle puppies to as large as a Labrador. I am currently on summer break from graduate school, but I take five- mile walks every morning year-round. As my classes are in the evening, I can fit dog-walking into my schedule in the mornings and early afternoons. I am attentive and responsible for my pets needs, and take pride in ensuring that the animals I care for are happy and healthy. I have a nine-year-old mixed breed dog who enjoys her daily walks and sunbathing on the deck, but does not enjoy the company of other dogs very much.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Woodsboro

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Woodsboro on Rover is $16.05 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog 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 Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 3,352 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Woodsboro. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Woodsboro stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

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 Woodsboro 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!

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 .

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Woodsboro with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Woodsboro. On Rover:

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 93% can help with daily exercise

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.

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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

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.
