About: I've loved dogs my whole life and have owned three of my own, giving me firsthand experience with their daily care, exercise, and companionship. In addition to caring for my own pets, I've looked after dogs and cats for family members, friends, and neighbors. I also have cared for two mini doodles for several weeks over the past few summers, along with the families pet lizard and guinea pig. Additionally, I regularly volunteer at a local animal shelter, where I walk and play with dogs of all sizes and help feed and socialize cats. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and am committed to making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away. I am currently working part time, so I will have plenty of time to check in on your pets throughout the day! I can also take your dogs out for walks, multiple times a day if needed. I will follow instructions you leave to make sure I am giving your pets everything they need. I have no problem taking dogs to dog parks or for long walks depending on their needs.

About: I’ve had doggos my whole life and have been entrusted by friends/neighbors to take care of theirs since I was a kid! My family calls me Snow White because I’ve never met an animal that hasn’t liked me (it’s true). I’ve always loved animals of all kinds, but dogs hold a special place in my heart. I’d be honored with the trust of walking/checking in on your furry friend! *If weekends are needed, please ask upon booking!* I blocked due to my job, I’m a full-time real estate agent, but I’m able to have some flexibility. I’d be available earlier in the mornings and mid to late afternoon’s most days, but that could be subject to change depending on the day. When you book, I’ll be able to provide times with certainty, but I’d be able to walk and/or drop in up to twice a day during the week. I’ll treat your home and animal(s) as if they’re my own! I always make sure the animal(s) have enough fresh water, food (according to the feeding routine that’s given), and play time! If the animal(s) make a mess, I have no issue tidying/cleaning as needed. I’ll never leave without ensuring that the animal(s) are where they’re instructed to be, if applicable, and will always make sure your doors are closed/locked when I leave.

Natalie has been absolutely fantastic with my four dogs. She handles them all with no problem at all. She is responsible and flexible with schedule changes and that has been a big help as my work schedule does fluctuate. The dogs just love her and we feel very fortunate to have her as our daily pet sitter. I would strongly recommend Natalie if you are looking for peace of mind when it comes to having someone trustworthy to care for your pets.

Miranda was fantastic. She stopped to meet Zelda before the scheduled walks. She kept me updated and everything went perfectly. Zelda feels comfortable with her already and they get along great. Highly recommended!

About: I’ve cared for dogs all sizes, and would love to share love with yours also! I have a 1 year old pup, and he has been the greatest joy in my life as I do not have any children of my own. Only the best food and treats for him and I would do the exact same for your pup as well! I work from home from 9-5. I can come for an early walk or late walk on weekdays. Also I am available all day on weekends! I accept same-day bookings, and I can take your dog for a walk around your neighborhood or even to a dog park if there’s one close by. Or if you’re more comfortable with just having an at home visit, I’m fine with that too.

Chris came to our rescue with little notice, as we had a family event enter our lives, and I can’t thank Chris enough. Our introductory meeting with Tricksy, our Shar Pei, went very smoothly as Chris was confident and open around her. She also listened carefully to Tricksy’s personal habits and idiosyncrasies. Wee felt positive about having the drop-on visits and Chris kept us well informed with messages and photos. Can’t thank her enough for helping us through this time of grieving for my family.

About: I’ve had dogs in my household my whole life. I am friendly, reliable, and able to take care of dogs in need of some exercise or some belly rubs. I used to train horses so taking care of dogs is nothin! I am a college student home for the summer and am available most days except Saturdays. I am also pretty flexible so whatever you and your pet need I can help with. Just looking to walk dogs and house sit at your home so I don’t have much equipment, but whatever materials you provide I can work with and take great care of your pet!

About: I have been around all different types of pets since I was 5. They have always been a part of my family. I have experience with dogs, cats, reptiles, chickens and so many more. I can provide many references if needed. I currently work from home so I am very flexible with days and hours. I am also able to pick your pup up or drop off if you need me too. Since I work from home, I am able to take them on multiple walks throughout the day! Your fur baby will be treated as if they were my own.

About: I am experienced in administering medicinal injections, nail trimming and teeth brushing of larger breeds, lifting 60+ lbs, pad and potty training, and assisting senior and special needs dogs. I currently work remote and spend most of the day with my own pup by my side. We go to the nearby dog park at least weekly, go on two 20-25 minute walks (1mi+) daily, and play regularly throughout the day. He is very friendly and happy to tag along for any walks or play times, if the company is welcomed. I have a large crate available, if needed, and an in ground stake in the front and back yard with 30ft leads attached, allowing for plenty of time outside in shaded and unshaded areas. Food bowls are cleaned after every meal and pet waste is cleaned up after every trip outside.

About: I would take my dog out for walks everyday since I was 13 and would make sure she was cared for, played with, and properly groomed I am currently working two jobs part-time, but I am often available to walk dogs (morning, day or afternoon) or cat-sit in my free time. In my home, we make sure our cats are fed at least twice a day and we scoop their litter everyday. When we had my senior dog, we would let her outside often to get some exercise and would bathe her at least once a month when she got dirty.

About: I’ve grown up taking care of both cats and dogs, including small and large breeds. I currently have a chocolate lab who I walk, feed, and play with every day. I also have experience caring for senior dogs and cats, and I understand the extra patience, attention, and care they may need. I love cats and am comfortable feeding them, changing litter, playing with them, and giving them lots of attention. I’m reliable, caring, and truly enjoy being around animals! I’m home from college until August 10th. I’m available all day on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 8 AM–3PM for dog walking, pet sitting, and drop-in visits for both cats and dogs! I’m also available on weekends and am flexible with timing. I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine to make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and safe. I’m always mindful, respectful, and responsible when caring for pets in someone else’s home. I make sure to keep a clean and safe environment, follow instructions carefully, and handle everything with care. I understand how important trust is when someone is caring for your pets and home, and I’ll always do my best to make both you and your pets feel comfortable and secure.

Marcy has been great, we have used her services several times the last few months and have all good things to say. The biggest help is being able to work with the short notices due to my work schedule. Her flexibility has been awesome. My dogs seem to really enjoy her and Marcy has been wonderful to my pups.....

About: I’m a full-time higher education professional with years of experience in positions requiring trust, responsibility, and attention to detail. I provide calm, reliable care while keeping pets in their familiar environment. I’ll also treat your home with the same care and respect. I’ve been on a bit of a hiatus, taking care of only regular clients, but I’m back on the hunt for new furry friends! Please note that I did change my first name legally a few years back which you may observe in the reviews. I adore dogs but with my busy lifestyle, ownership is not in the cards for me. I believe they are a huge responsibility not to be taken lightly and I honor that by recognizing the limitations in my life. But that's where you come in! I get my snugs, and you get someone who will care for your fur baby as their own fur baby! I’m currently caring for animals in their home. As a military veteran, I understand how stressful it can be to travel often and worry about my little friends at home. Consistency and trust are deeply rooted in the work I do.

About: I’ve cared for dogs for over 5 years and truly love being around animals. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and check in on their pets while they’re away. I’m responsible, attentive, and make sure every dog feels comfortable and cared for. Whether your dog needs a walk, playtime, or just someone to keep them company, I treat every pet like my own and prioritize their safety and happiness. 🐶 💕 I’m currently in flight training, but other than flying for a few hours a week at the airport, I am available to care for your pets! With a lot of availability every day of the week, I have the flexibility to provide your pets with time and extra special care and attention! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. When taking care of a client’s pets, I always follow the owner’s normal schedule for feeding, walks, and playtime—routine and genuine care are key! I’m attentive and patient to ensure each pet feels comfortable and well cared for while you’re away. I’m happy to stay with your pet as long as you’d like during visits so they get plenty of attention and TLC! 🤗 I also love sharing regular photo updates so you can see how your pet is doing and feel happy and comfortable while you’re away :)

Such a good sitter. She even took my dog to run around multiple times which is something I can’t do. Cielo was very knowledgeable about Piccolos breed and did so good with him. I definitely will be booking again!

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Woodstock

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Woodstock on Rover is $17.12 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 2,360 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Woodstock. 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 Woodstock 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 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!

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 Woodstock 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 Woodstock. On Rover:

  • 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.
