“Janine was great! I loved that she shared updates and pictures. She came to check in on Magnus for me when I had to go to an all day training and my partner was out of town. I know Magnus loved breaking up his quiet day with Janine.”
About: I have ALWAYS loved dogs. I have experience providing in home/overnight care, visits and walks for a variety of breeds.

About: I’ve taken care of family members dogs along with my personal pet for multiple years! Having a connection with an animal is important. I am new on the app! I currently work from mid day to evenings so morning walks are something that would fit into my schedule perfectly. Most days of the week my mornings are free We don’t have a fence but I have experience crating dogs along with a background customer service so what’s best for you and your pet I can get done!

About: Cats and dogs have been part of my everyday life since childhood. Today my wife and I share our home with two cats and two dogs — so your pet is joining a household that already speaks their language. I've cared for family members' and friends' animals through house sitting, in-home drop-ins, feeding, walks, and play — at my place and at theirs. Laid-back, attentive, and genuinely passionate about animals. Pet care is my full-time focus right now. While I take cybersecurity courses and work toward a new career in tech, my days are built around home — which means your pet gets consistent, attentive care every single day of the week. I am available for both daycare and boarding seven days a week with no gaps in availability. A typical day looks like this: Meals Three feeding periods — morning, midday, and evening — keep pets on a consistent routine throughout the day. Walks Dogs go out 6 to 7 times a day, roughly every 3 hours, so there are no long stretches of waiting — they stay active and comfortable all day long. Cat play Cats enjoy one to two dedicated play sessions each day to keep them stimulated and engaged. My home is a pet-friendly, well-organized space designed with animal comfort and safety in mind. Here's what you can expect: Resident dogs Two friendly small dogs — a Pomeranian and a Chihuahua — live in the home and are great companions for visiting dogs. They've spent time at doggy daycare themselves and are comfortable and experienced around other dogs, which helps guests settle in faster. Cats in the home There are cats in the household. Baby gates are in place throughout the home to create separated zones as needed, keeping cats and dogs comfortable and giving everyone their own space to decompress. Yard & outdoor time My yard is not fenced, so all outdoor time is leashed. With 6 to 7 walks a day, dogs get more than enough fresh air and exercise — and they're never left unattended outside. Crating A small dog crate is available if a pet is crate-trained or needs a quiet retreat. I'm also happy to use a crate provided by the owner if your dog is more comfortable in their own space.
About: We’ve always had dogs and cats growing up, so pet have always been a regular part of my everyday life! I know that sometimes this little things like walks or consistent feeding schedules can be the hardest part of having a pet! Allow me to take that weight from your shoulders! I have extensive experience with large dogs and puppies as well! I regularly housesit for homes with multiple animals and multiple species; dogs, cats, fish, bunnies, gerbils, and hamsters too! I’m currently working part time, but planning and scheduling are important to me. I am more often available in the mornings any day of the week. I value being consistent and reliable so I will only post availability that I’m sure will work! I will make sure to bring your pet everywhere with me! Clingy pets are my bread and butter! I have no problem hanging out as long as needed to always have an eye on your pets when they are in my care.
“Magda is an amazing sitter. She watched our 4 cats for the first time over Christmas break. She is incredibly punctual and attentive to all of our cats special needs and even brought potential house issues to our attention. Her communication is on point, from the meet and greet throughout the actual sitting. Wouldn't hesitate to book her again.”
About: Hello! I'm a lifelong animal lover who will treat your pet like part of my family. From playful puppies to senior dogs, cats, and fish, I've had the pleasure of caring for a wide variety of pets over the years. I grew up with two cats and a blind dog with Addison’s disease, which gave me firsthand experience with special needs pets. I've also cared for a cat with a neurological disorder and seizures, which required administering medication orally via syringe at very specific times. This experience helped me develop a keen attention to detail when it comes to following routines and administering medications, so you can trust I’ll take care of your pet’s needs with precision and love. With over twelve years of dog and cat sitting experience, I’ve handled pets of all sizes, from small puppies to dogs over 100 lbs. Whether your pet is on a special diet, needs medication, or just loves extra cuddles, I’m here to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for in their own home. I’m reliable, punctual, and always ready to offer your pet the attention and care they deserve while you’re away. You can rest easy knowing they’re in good hands! I’m here to care for your beloved pets every day of the week! Whether you need support during your 9–5, in the evenings, or even over the holidays. I provide care in my clients’ homes to help keep pets comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow their usual routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication (if needed), and any specific instructions you provide. I make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you're away. My goal is to give both you and your pet peace of mind during my stay.
“Micah is awesome! Super keen, caring and responsive. She even kindly stayed an extra day last minute when we got sick and couldn’t come home on time. 10/10 would recommend her for your pet’s care.”
About: I’ve always been the go-to person for family and friends when it comes to caring for their pets, from energetic puppies to older dogs who need a gentler pace. I’m patient, attentive, and make sure each pet feels comfortable and cared for, whether that’s going for a long walk, playing, or just keeping them company. What sets me apart is the way I treat every pet like my own — I pay attention to their routines, personalities, and little quirks so they feel safe and happy while you’re away. As a student with a part-time job, I keep a balanced schedule that still gives me plenty of time for pet care. I’m usually available mornings, evenings, and weekends, which works great for walks, drop-ins, or just spending extra time with pets. I make sure to plan ahead so their care always comes first. I know how important it is to feel confident your pet is safe and cared for. Whether I’m in my home or yours, I keep their environment comfortable, clean, and secure. I follow your pet’s routine closely, from feeding schedules to walks, and I always pay attention to details like keeping doors and gates shut. Most importantly, I give each pet the same patience and love I give my own, so you can trust they’re in good hands.
About: I’m Chelsea, and I recently moved to the downtown Columbia area. I’ve taken care of an assortment of pets/ babies since I was a child. My family loved cats and as of recent I have started sitting dogs. Because I work from home several days a week and have a hybrid schedule it’s quite easy to me to watch my friends fur babies while you are out of town. I’m very detail oriented and willing to ensure your fur baby has a great time while you’re away. I know it is very stressful for the pet and parent. I work from home 3-5 times a week and my job is very flexible so I am able to work around my schedule very easily. I personally do not have any pets however, I have lots of room, furniture, and windows for their entertainment. The owner would need to provide food, crate, and other needed items for their pet if needed. I have an extra food bowl, blanket, and some toys
About: I went to college for Veterinary Technician for 4 years and have a bachelors degree. I worked in an animal hospital for 3 years as a veterinary technician. I have 3 wonderful dogs of my own. I love dogs and I know I will take the absolute best care of your dogs just like they’re my own! They will be loved and spoiled and have an amazing experience with me! I’m your girl! This is my full time job! I have a large fenced back yard where they can go to the bathroom and play. On my days off I like to bring them to the dog park to get some exercise. If your dogs stay with me they will be with me majority of the time and have a fun time at my house! I have 3 sweet pups that will keep your fur baby entertained. I make sure water is always available to the pups and feed them on a regular feeding schedule! I’m also able to administer any oral/injectable medications!
“Gabriella was absolutely fabulous with our cat, Penny! She was prompt, dependable, and clearly takes great pride in her work. Everything was left clean and tidy, and her consistent communication gave us such peace of mind while we were away. We received photos of Penny—which made our whole family so happy to see her looking comfortable, happy, and so well cared for. We would absolutely recommend Gabriella to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring pet sitter. 😻🐾”
About: I’ve cared for my own pets at home, dogs and cats, so I’m very used to their routines and daily needs. I also spent a year working at a boarding kennel, where I took care of dogs and cats by feeding them, taking them on walks, giving medication when needed, and making sure they felt safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m currently in college but I have a very flexible schedule with plenty of free time to provide consistent, reliable care for your pets! I do not provide in-home care on Rover due to other animals in my home, ensuring safety and comfort for all pets currently not available.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Woodstock
I’m not even sure where to start, Erin was AMAZING! We had an issue with the door handle that she took care of, the dogs had a rough day and she handled it, she got my mail, and even cleaned up some dog hair! One of our pups decided to go on a hunger strike and she got him eating again by hand feeding him! I would not hesitate for a second to have her back! She was the best and I highly recommend her!
We had an excellent experience with Jennifer. During the visit, several unexpected issues came up, and she handled everything calmly, professionally, and with great judgment. Communication was outstanding—she kept us informed, sent pictures of our dog looking very happy, and even followed up afterward to make sure everything was okay. It gave us real peace of mind knowing our dog was in such capable and caring hands. We would absolutely recommend Jennifer and will definitely use her again!

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Woodstock is $20 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $28 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 October 2026, there are 12,618 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Woodstock. 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.
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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
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.

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.

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.
