About: At Paws & Love, we believe every pet deserves love, attention, and exceptional care! Danielle brings her professional pet-sitting experience, while Abdullah brings a lifelong love of animals, having grown up around dogs and spent the past year helping Danielle care for pets. Together, we make the perfect team, providing reliable, personalized, and compassionate care for every furry friend. Whether it’s playtime, walks, cuddles, or extra attention, we treat every pet like our own and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved—just like family! 🐾❤️ I plan my schedule carefully to provide pets with reliable, attentive care. I am available on weekends and can arrange pet care around my work schedule. I will communicate clearly with pet parents about my availability and make sure every pet receives plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priorities. I have been around dogs and cats since I was 9 years old and understand the importance of patience, supervision, and responsible care. I will follow your instructions, maintain a clean and safe environment, and respect your pet’s routines. I will also keep you updated and contact you promptly if any concerns arise.
About: I have grown up around dogs my whole life. I am well-versed in walking large and stubborn dogs such as Newfoundlands and Great Pyrenees. I have been a parent to Wells, a very high-energy Vizsla, for 5 years now. We did all our training ourselves and successfully trained a great loose-leash walker. I am eager to help other dogs learn this skill as well! I am working locums, so I am gone for 4 days twice a month and otherwise home and available the rest of the month. Open for walks and visits all day! If your dog is open to a play date, I have a very friendly, high-energy dog that would love to get his zoomies out with your pup. Open to going for long walks or nearby fenced-in dog parks.
About: I’ve been a cat parent to my domestic shorthair and domestic longhair since they were kittens in 2022, so I have plenty of firsthand experience caring for cats through different stages of their lives. I’ve also frequently cared for my friend’s Ragdoll, so I’m comfortable getting to know different personalities, routines, and preferences. I’m also a big dog lover and will be welcoming a Miniature American Shepherd puppy of my own next spring! I’m so excited to meet and care for some of your pups in the meantime. Whether it’s keeping your cat company, dropping in for some playtime and cuddles, or taking your dog out for a walk, I’ll make sure your pets get plenty of attention and care while you’re away. 🐾 I’m currently working from home most of the time, and it’s very easy for me to step away for 30 minutes to an hour, so I can go visit your fur friend and make sure they are doing alright. When I drop in, I will follow your pet’s routine exactly like you instruct me to. I will use my best judgement if an emergency comes up.
“Dawn has been taking care of my 12-week-old energetic and velociraptor GSP puppy, Zara, for the past two weeks. From the start, Dawn impressed me by taking the time to schedule a meet-up beforehand to get to know Zara and me. This thoughtful gesture made me feel confident in her abilities and reassured me that Zara was in great hands. Over the past two weeks, Dawn has been punctual and caring during her visits to my home. I highly recommend Dawn to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate dog sitter.”
“Roy was great! He made sure our cats were doing while we were away. His communication was great as we tried to figure out timing that worked. We loved the updates and pics that he sent :)”
About: I would love to take care of your dog or cat! I am a foster parent with the Peninsula Humane Society/SPCA who was recently laid off from a tech job, so I now have time to spend loving and caring for animals. I love animals! I grew up with a dog (a Golden Retriever) and two cats, and I am now a foster parent for the Peninsula Humane Society, so your pet(s) would be in good, experienced hands. Through my foster work (and caring for my own animals over the years), I have developed lots of experience giving a variety of medications and treatments to animals with many different needs, should that be necessary. In fact, my previous cat required daily insulin shots and heart medication, so I am comfortable and used to giving injections and pills. Looking forward to hearing from you and giving your baby all the cuddles and play he or she wants! I was recently laid off from a tech job, so I am available full time to care for your animal while I look for another job. I have a fenced yard that a dog could run around in. I have a 3 year old cat who is very friendly and adaptable, but I can keep him separate if your animal is not a fan.
About: I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, plus a safe, comfortable home with yard space for walks and plenty of love to give. I'm a stay-at-home mom with a flexible schedule, and I love spending time outdoors with my daughter. Your dog would get plenty of attention, walks, and care. I prioritize keeping every pet safe, comfortable, and well cared for. In my home, I keep things clean, comfortable, and with space to play. I make sure pets have supervision, fresh water, regular feeding, exercise, and attention. In a client's home, I respect their space and follow the owner’s instructions to keep the pet’s routine consistent.
“We have hired many sitters from Rover over the years but Allison was absolutely the best! Wow! Our cat loved her so much, she sent fun photos every day, and kept us updated on how things were going at home. Highly recommend!!”
“Chelsea is AMAZING! She is so great with our cats—they love her and always come out to greet her despite being very shy. She also accommodated us over a holiday weekend last minute which we will forever be grateful for. She is very communicative, attentive, and considerate. Could not recommend more!”
“Nata was great! She listened to all of my instructions/advice about my cats, took things seriously and was very kind. One of my cats can be very territorial and he was calm near her. She followed what I said about giving him space and things went well!”
“Jonah took wonderful care of our cat, Nali, while we were gone for a month. They were caring, communicative, and responsible. We will definitely reach out to them the next time we are out of town!”

I cannot thank Yifan enough for their incredible responsiveness and care. I had an emergency come up and reached out to them last minute—Yifan made herself available and went straight to my house right after I contacted them. Knowing my cats were in such prompt, caring, and capable hands gave me total peace of mind during a stressful situation. I’m so grateful to have such a reliable cat sitter—I highly recommend Yifan to anyone looking for someone truly trustworthy!
Marilyn is the absolute best! We have a senior kitty named Zelda who is on a daily medication. Right before we left for an international trip we needed to find someone quickly who felt comfortable giving a senior kitty medication, but would also help give her the love and attention she needed while we were gone for an extra long trip. Marilyn had no fear and quickly picked up the task! Marilyn was very knowledgeable on the medication and found ways to help give Zelda the medication comfortably. She also sent us so many amazing photos and daily reports so I knew exactly how Zelda was doing. Marilyn is simply one of the best humans and we will definitely be booking again with her in the future!
Thien-Nha is absolutely wonderful and I’m so lucky to have found her. She’s reliable, responsive, and incredibly kind. Even my super shy kitty came out of hiding to say hello when Thien-Nha came over. I feel she really goes above and beyond for our pets and that is simply invaluable. Will definitely hire her again for our next trip.
Vanessa & Jeff are absolutely amazing! I was nervous leaving my pup alone for the first time but both of them are warm and friendly which put me at ease. Easy communication with them and they always sent photos and detailed updates which i appreciated. Very flexible and accomodating which helps me out alot since i work long hours. They were super patient and gentle with Coco and even got him to eat his kibble which sometimes can be tricky! Even if he made a mess, they made sure to keep his area clean. So thankful i found them..Coco loves their snuggles and was always left resting happily:) Will definitely be my trusted go-to's!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Woodside is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $29 per visit. 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 November 2026, there are 12,735 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Woodside. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Woodside. On Rover:
- 83% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 87% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 92% 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.
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.
