“Zaira was a lifesaver!! The day before she was scheduled to watch my dog, Darla (my dog) got super sick and had to go to the vet. Zaira was super flexible, helped pick her up from the vet for me along with her meds, and took great care of her while I was on a mandatory work trip!! She saved my butt and was so flexible and accomodating, turning a really anxious and scary situation around for me. Will totally book again, thank you Zaira for being awesome!!!”

About: Hi my name is Lorin and I'm the proud owner of my boy Erebus who's a 5 year old lab mix and Grim my 7 month old kitten. Erebus and I love going on nice hikes and playing in the water. If house sitting I do like to bring Erebus with me for consecutive nights. I've had dogs all my life and used to frequently volunteer at my neighbors old vet clinic. I am extreme animal lover and advocate. I will love and take care of your babies as if they were my own. If you have a pup with special needs I have experience dealing with several illnesses and disabilities that way your baby gets all the special care they may require. I work 7-4 Monday- Friday but on my lunch I can come walk or take care of your pets. Prefer to not do early morning walks as I have to be at work so early. I always take my time to let new pets get used to me especially when I’m in their space. I always want them to feel safe and comforted while their parents are away.

I would love to care for your pet like my own! I’m a stay at home mom, so i’m free any day of any week to keep your animals! I have plenty of time to play with your pets! I have a okay sized yard for your pet to run and play, I can create if needed. I’m more than happy to travel to you to care for them!
“Aly stayed at our house with our 2 pups for a week and we are so appreciative! She took them to the dog park, went on walks and sent us pictures of their adventures. The house and the dogs were in great shape when we returned. We highly recommend Aly for any of your pet sitting needs!!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every size and personality since I was 14, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. Neighbors, friends, and family rely on me because I’m patient, gentle, and really pay attention to what each dog needs. I’m great with shy or anxious pets, and I know how to keep energetic dogs active, happy, and safe. Whether it’s walking, feeding, playtime, or baths, I make sure every pet feels loved and cared for the entire time you’re away. Your fur baby will always be my priority. I’m a nursing student with a very flexible schedule, so it’s easy for me to fit pet care into my day. I plan my classes and study time around my bookings, which means your pet always gets my full attention. I love having animals as part of my daily routine, and I’m happy to adjust to whatever schedule your fur baby needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort mean everything to me. I take my time to learn what each fur baby needs so they always feel calm and cared for. I keep a clean, peaceful environment and follow your routines closely—feeding, walking, litter care, meds, anything they need. Whether I’m in your home or mine, you can trust that your pet will be loved, watched closely, and treated gently every moment they’re with me.

About: As a lifelong pet lover, I treat every animal with the same patience, attention, and affection that I give my own. I have years of experience caring for various breeds and personalities, from high-energy puppies who need plenty of playtime to gentle seniors who require a calmer touch. I understand that your pets are family, and my top priority is keeping them safe, happy, and comfortable while you are away. You can count on me for reliable updates, lots of photos, and total peace of mind! I am a dental Assistant Mon-thurs 8am-5pm On weekends I will go on walks with my dogs, sometimes I will when I get off work too! My cat gets plenty of attention before I leave for work and when I get home! I live in an apartment with my friend of 6 years. She is currently a vet tech and applying to vet school next year to be a veterinarian. The environment I live in is extremely safe and trustworthy. I am able to crate your pet if needed. My pets are amazing with other pets and are up to date on all medications.
“I would book Kamryn to watch Diggs a thousand times over! She took extra time and care to make sure he was comfortable with her (he’s scan be pretty anxious with new people). She updated me several times a day about potties and feedings and took her time to hang out and play with him. I felt so comfortable leaving Diggs in her care!! I cannot thank her enough for the extra steps and reassurance she provided me that he was in the best care while I way away!!”


About: I've always had a love for animals, and caring for pets has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I currently have two dogs of my own, so I understand firsthand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your pets when you can't be there. As a pet owner, I know that every animal has their own unique personality, routine, and needs. Some pets love playtime and lots of attention, while others prefer a calm companion and a familiar routine. My goal is to make every visit a positive experience by helping your pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own home. Whether your pet needs fresh food and water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medication, or simply some extra love and companionship, I'm happy to provide attentive care tailored to their needs. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they receive the same level of care and affection that I would want for my own pets. I understand that trusting someone with your furry family member can be stressful, which is why communication is very important to me. During each visit, I'll provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you're away.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my hands-on experience as a pet owner my whole life for cats and dogs (I have one Shih-tzu and one cat as of now!). I have also provided walks for other pets for 2 years for my family and friends, offering personalized care and a deep understanding of animal behavior and needs. My passion for pets ensures they receive the attention, love, and exercise they deserve! Since it's summer, I have a flexible schedule that gives me plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I'm looking to spend my summer doing something I genuinely enjoy, and caring for pets is a great fit. Whether it's walks, drop-in visits, or pet sitting, I can easily work them into my daily routine and make sure each pet gets the attention, exercise, and care they need. I treat every pet like they're my own! I make sure they have fresh water, regular meals, plenty of exercise, and lots of attention. I always follow the owner's instructions, whether that's sticking to a feeding schedule, giving medication, or keeping up with their normal routine. I keep the environment clean and safe, watch for anything that seems off, and send regular updates with photos so you know your pet is happy and well cared for. My goal is to help them feel comfortable, relaxed, and loved while you're away.
About: I've been caring for animals since I was 10 years old and currently have three rescue dogs of my own, ranging from two small dogs to my senior lab mix. Having dogs with different ages, personalities, and needs has given me plenty of firsthand experience providing individualized care and making sure each dog feels comfortable and safe. I have a special place in my heart for rescue dogs and understand that every dog comes with their own personality, routine, and comfort level. I'm patient with dogs who may need a little extra time to warm up, and I'm also comfortable caring for senior dogs and pets who need medication or a little extra attention. Whether your pet stays with me or I'm caring for them in their own home, I do my best to follow their normal routine and treat them just like I would want someone to treat my own dogs. My home also has a fenced yard for plenty of safe outdoor time. Most importantly, I want you to feel comfortable knowing your pet is being well cared for, loved, and treated like part of the family while you're away. I work a rotating 12-hour shift schedule that includes days, nights, weekends, and sometimes holidays, so my availability varies from week to week. I plan my Rover bookings around my schedule to make sure each pet receives the time and attention they need. My boyfriend, Josh, and I also work as a team when caring for pets in our home, and he's usually available to help with feeding, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship while I'm at work. Since I know my work schedule in advance, I'm always happy to discuss your pet's routine and make sure we're a good fit before booking. Whether I'm caring for your pet in my home or yours, I do my best to follow their normal routine and any instructions you provide. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family and have access to a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time and potty breaks. Josh and I supervise the pets in our care and make sure they have plenty of attention, playtime, and time to relax based on their individual needs. For drop-in visits and walks, I prioritize your pet's safety and comfort while respecting your home. I'll follow your instructions for feeding, medications, walks, and any other care they may need, while making sure your home is secure when I leave. I know how important it is to feel comfortable with the person caring for your pets, so I value clear communication and am always happy to provide updates and photos while you're away. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel comfortable and confident throughout their time in my care.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 522 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Woodstock. 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 Woodstock 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 Woodstock 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 Woodstock 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Woodstock. On Rover:
- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
