“Sara was great! She kept us updated on how our pup was doing throughout our trip, was willing to take him to urgent care if it was needed (luckily it was not!), and even sewed up his favorite stuffy when it broke open! Thanks Sara!”

About: I have over 45 years of experience caring for dogs of all ages as well as many other types of animals that have honored me with living with me over the years (cats, horses, guinea pigs, gecko, Madagascar hissing cockroach, parrots, flying squirrel, rabbits). My original dream was to become a vet so I have a background interning with veterinarian, working multiple years in a grooming and boarding facility and had my own very successful animal care and sitting business as a teenager. I have great nail trimming skills as well! Animals are naturally drawn to me and sense my love and respect for them. I work remotely so am pretty flexible with schedules. I also have taken the pet CPR course! I work remotely from home so am flexible in what I can offer. I feed my own pets multiple times a day and am able to monitor what is consumed. I also live in a beautiful community near parks for nice walks. I have a fenced in yard and 2 friendly dogs who live next door who are always interested in playdates if desired. I work remotely so have flexibility in what I can offer clients. I do have a crate on premises if you do not have although I prefer (as do pets) for them to have their familiar one! There are friendly cats who live with me although I would likely gate off my kitchen / sunroom area where my office is so that I can supervise and ensure harmony with unknown pet if in my home.

About: I have cared for pets of my own since I was 7 years old. Dogs mostly, but also cats, birds, turtles, rabbits, and fish. Now I am a mature, reliable professional who loves pets as much as ever, but unfortunately my living situation is not ideal to have my own right now. I look forward to connecting with folks who need an assist in caring for their animals and loving them as if they were my own. My schedule is somewhat flexible with plenty of early morning and afternoon availability, as well as evenings opening up at 9 or 10 pm. This is true 7 days a week with 2 rotating days off each week. I typically have one 3-day weekend available each month. My place is not conducive to have your pets stay. But I am happy to come to you, whether for a walk, a feeding, playtime, some combination of all of the above. I also welcome the opportunity to stay over in your home if the need arises and trust has been established.

About: I’ve spent my entire life around animals! From growing up in a house full of all kinds of animals and currently being a proud dog mom of 3 and snake mom of 1, to pet sitting through my teen years, to volunteering at a special needs dog sanctuary for 3 years.. there is nothing I feel more comfortable doing than hanging out with and caring for furry, scaly, or feathered friends! I am available for care all hours of the day or night weekdays and weekends! I’m happy to do late night or early mornings 😊 I want more than anything to provide everyone that trusts me with their furry babies peace of mind knowing that with me, they are genuinely safe and will always be treated like they are my very own. To say I’m a helicopter dog mom is an understatement, and I understand more than anyone the fear of unknowns when leaving your pets with a new person and I hope I can alleviate that stress from both you and your pets. From the bottom of my heart, you can trust that when your pets are with me they are in a safe space and being treated with love, care, and consideration!

“First time using Rover and leaving my 10-week-old puppy, and Ava was absolutely fantastic. She sent pictures and videos throughout the day, and I could tell he was having so much fun. She kept him on his schedule and was clearly experienced with puppies. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such great hands- will definitely be using Ava again!”

About: Hey I’m Sean! I’ve always had a big heart for animals and love getting to know their different personalities. I grew up on a farm and have been around animals my whole life, and truly a huge animal lover. Whether they are playful, shy or a little quirky, I believe every animal deserves patience, love and dependable care. I know how nerve wracking it can be to leave your pet with a complete stranger in your home, but i promise to treat your pets like my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’ll make sure to give them all the attention, love and belly rubs they could ask for. I have over 10 years of pet care experience for family and friends, and more recently have helped my girlfriend with clients of hers when she is unable to. They are also happy to provide references :) I recently graduated from A & P school and am getting ready to start my new job in January! In the meantime, I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of free time to dedicate to caring for animals. I’ve always had a big heart for animals of all kinds and genuinely enjoy spending time with them, from guinea pigs, to cats, to dogs, to horses, to snakes, you name it. I’m responsible, respectful of other peoples homes, clean, patient, dependable and I’d love to use this time to use this time to give your pets extra attention, playtime, and care while you’re away. Whether your pet is energetic and adventurous or prefers to relax and have some company, I’m happy to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved! My goal is to make your time away and your pets time as stress free and comfortable as possible. I will follow instructions to a T, and follow their daily routines. I understand how important it is to respect both your pets and your home, so I’ll always be respectful, responsible, attentive, clean and very mindful of your space. I’ll also keep you updated during any visits or stays so you can have a peace of mind knowing your pets are in good hands.

About: I’m retired with lots of flexibility, and care for one dog at a time—so your pup gets my full attention! I specialize in skittish, senior, and special-needs dogs. A client once called me The Pet Whisperer, and I strive to live up to that every day. Each stay begins with a Meet & Greet to ensure a great fit. I stay current on pet safety, first aid, and behavior through professional training. Caring for animals has been my passion since childhood, and friends and family regularly trust me with their pets—from daily walks to extended stays. My schedule adapts to your pet’s needs. I care for one dog at a time, so your pup gets my full attention, affection, and cuddles. I never rush—each visit includes time to bond, play, and build trust. Walks and drop-ins are unhurried, with extra time for love and connection. Pets are welcome on the furniture—just please ensure their nails are trimmed. Currently accepting recurring walks only. I respect your pet’s routine and emotional needs, keeping a detailed log and sharing photos or videos for your peace of mind. A couple I’ve worked with for 3 years recently traveled to Europe, and my daily updates helped them feel confident their dog was happy, safe, and relaxed.

About: I’ve spent years caring for pets and homes for family, friends, and private clients, and I understand that both come with a real responsibility. When someone entrusts me with their home and animals, I take that trust seriously. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities, as well as cats, and I’m happy to follow established routines for feeding, walks, treats, medications, playtime, and plenty of attention. I’ve cared for pets who need extra patience and consistency, including a young puppy who was still being potty trained. I also understand that every animal has its own personality and routine, and I make an effort to keep their life as normal and comfortable as possible while their people are away. My house-sitting experience goes well beyond simply being present in the home. I’ve cared for plants and gardens, watered lawns and operated sprinklers, brought in mail and packages, handled basic outdoor chores, and kept an eye on the property. I’ve also handled unexpected responsibilities, including meeting contractors, photographing completed work before authorizing payment, arranging appointments, receiving deliveries, and taking care of errands for homeowners while they were away. Communication is an important part of my approach. I’m happy to provide regular updates, photos, and videos so homeowners can see that their pets and property are doing well. I know how reassuring it can be to see your dog happily lounging on the couch or your garden looking healthy when you're hundreds of miles away. As a freelance writer, I have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to build pet care naturally into my day. I can structure my work around a pet’s routine rather than expecting a pet to fit around a traditional 9-to-5 schedule. Whether a pet needs morning or evening walks, regular meals, medication, playtime, or simply some companionship during the day, I have the flexibility to be there. I’m also able to spend extra time with pets who need more attention or have specific routines. I enjoy the rhythm of pet care and the opportunity to give each animal the consistency, attention, and companionship they’re accustomed to while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as familiar and comfortable as possible. I follow their normal feeding, walking, playtime, medication, and bedtime routines, while giving them plenty of attention and companionship. Because I’m a freelance writer with a flexible schedule, I can devote time to pets who need more than a quick visit. I’m comfortable caring for multiple pets, following special instructions, and adjusting to each pet’s personality and needs. I also treat your home with the same care and respect I give your pets. I keep things clean and secure, communicate regularly, and provide updates with photos and videos so you know your pets are happy and well cared for while you’re away.

About: Hello and thanks for reading my profile! I’ve been caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities since I was a little girl, from energetic puppies to senior dogs. Currently, I have a Great Dane of my own (his name is Saint) and regularly babysit three wonderful dogs (two goofy Mastiffs and one sassy little Basset Hound. l’m comfortable with everything from high-energy playtime to gentle senior care, and I treat every pet like family. I currently work 7:30am - 4pm on the weekdays. My office is pet friendly, so I can bring your dog to work with me if you need me during the week. Otherwise I can be available for evenings during the week. My weekends are usually completely free though! I make sure all pets are comfortable, well fed and get play time in. Dogs aren’t meant to be idle all day, and as an active person I love to walk dogs and have some playtime in the backyard. My pets and my client’s pets always get spoiled rotten with cuddles and kisses. <3

“Hannah did a perfectly fine job watching our dog over the weekend. She handled his standard routine, followed our instructions, and kept him fed and let out on schedule. Communication was clear, she sent regular photo updates, and we came home to a happy, healthy pet. She is a reliable choice if you need someone to cover the core basics for a weekend trip.”

“5-Star Review for Hannah Hannah did an absolutely fantastic job babysitting my three dogs—Cooper, Cameron, and Anita! She was especially great with Anita, who has tons of energy and needs constant engagement. Hannah kept her entertained and active, which is no small feat! I came home to three happy, healthy dogs and a well-cared-for house, which gave me such peace of mind while I was away. I also really appreciated that Hannah stayed for the full agreed-upon time, even with our extended travel delays late into the evening. It’s clear she is responsible, reliable, and truly cares about the pets she watches. I’ll definitely be using Hannah’s services again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive pet sitter!”

About: My family got our first dog when I was four. Since then I have always had a dog. Right now I have a beagle mix, Maltese, and chocolate lab puppy. I have watched both dogs and cats. I am free on the weekends, but I can also pop in during the week in the afternoon around two or later. Occasionally before then. I pay close attention to the details of my instructions when I watch pets. I also like to send undated and pictures to the owners.

We usually leave a family member at home to care for the pets as we have very detailed care instructions. She and her family have experience with our rare breed of dog, Prague Ratters, and our boy Vozel loves her! Excellent communication and photos every day. Will definitely book Dominika again!”

About: I’ve always loved dogs and have lots of experience caring for them. I regularly dog sit for neighbors, family friends, and people I know, and I’m comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I have experience caring for multiple dogs at once, longer stays, and administering medication when needed. I’m reliable, patient, and attentive, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs—whether that means going for walks, playing, giving them plenty of attention, or simply keeping them company. I’ll treat your dog like my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I work as a teacher’s assistant at a middle school during the school year. I’m available for pet care in the mornings before work and am home around 4 PM, giving me plenty of time for walks, playtime, feeding, and attention in the afternoons and evenings. My weekends are generally free and give me additional flexibility for longer visits and overnight stays. I’m happy to follow each pet’s usual routine and make sure they receive the care, exercise, and companionship they need. Whether I’m caring for your dog in my home or yours, I want them to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I have a clean, tidy, and quiet one-bedroom apartment that’s welcoming to dogs, with plenty of space for them to relax! I’ll take the time to get to know your dog, follow their normal routine, and give them lots of attention and care. My goal is for them to feel comfortable with me and enjoy their time while you’re away!

FAQs for House Sitting - Woodsboro

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Woodsboro is $42 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $50 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.

As of October 2026, there are 1,954 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Woodsboro. 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 Woodsboro 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 Woodsboro 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 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!

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 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 Meet & Greet.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.

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

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.
