“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!”
“Bronte was FANTASTIC! She took great care of my boys, went above and beyond to give them special care and time, and did everything I asked of her. She was friendly and so kind and amazing to work with.”
About: Starting at the age of 11 up to today I have been trusted to take care, bathe and feed animals in my neighborhood, friends and family. I’m well at observing and giving medication if needed for older pets but also can be playful and help with the puppies/kittens as well! I currently work at an animal hospital which helps in my knowledge of feeding and taking care of pets. I work part time, mainly mornings but I’m willing to work around that if needed. I am available on weekends and holidays to take care of your pets needs. I can usually make something work around my schedule. At my house, there is acres of land and space. I have two very friendly dogs which I can either keep away or keep your pet company whichever is fine. For the clients home, I’m willing to work with whatever situation/care is needed
About: I have always been great with animals, I was raised on a Farm and I would enjoy working with animals on a daily basis ! Pet care is a natural part of my everyday life. I enjoy spending time with animals, making sure they feel safe, cared for, and loved. Whether it's going for walks, providing companionship, or paying attention to their needs, caring for pets brings me joy and fits perfectly with my active and compassionate lifestyle. I care for pets by following their regular routine and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. In both my home and a client's home, I provide fresh water, meals as directed, exercise, playtime, and plenty of attention. I also pay close attention to their behavior and well-being, ensuring they receive the care and companionship they need while their owners are away.
About: I have taken care of pets since I was six years old, starting with a few fish. Then it developed into lizards, birds, hermit crabs and dogs. I love and care for all and make careful research to provide the best care. I’m home from college so my weekly routine is very flexible until the end of summer! Just in time for vacation! Personal preference is for afternoons but happy to work with anything. I keep alarms set at home for when to feed my pets so everyone knows when it’s breakfast and dinner time! Three times a day I will take my dog out for 30-minute to an hour long walk. As a 75lbs husky, my dog loved to pull on the leash but I was able to slowly train him out of that habit. Now he walks beside me and makes walking around the neighborhood a breeze!
About: I’ve lived in in a household with multiple dogs and cats my whole life. Experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages/needs, including disabilities and special needs such as diabetes and paralysis. Trusted by neighbors and community members to care for dogs, cats, fish, and rabbits for 8+ years. I’d love to meet your furry family! I am a part-time student and worker, so I have plenty of time to stop by and cuddle up and go on adventures with your furry family! I am available to check in on your pet every 4 hours, and am easily able to stay at your home for 7 days plus if your furry family would love the extra company. I maintain a calm, relaxing environment for your pets, especially those who are shy and need some time to warm up. I am easily able to crate dogs of all sizes, and I create a comfortable and fun environment to to play with and cuddle all pets.
“Grace took care of our cats when we were away for couple of weeks. She is very professional and has attention to every detail during each visit. This was our first time hiring a pet sitter and we can say Grace has exceeded all expectations. She meticulously followed all instructions and was prompt in responding to any question. We will definitely work with her again in future.”
About: I’ve been taking care of animals for over 10 years. I have grown up with both cats and dogs, and I currently have a 3 year old cat of my own. I also volunteer with BARCS for their dogs day out program, so I have a lot of experience with big dogs. I currently work full time in logistics, and I work from home 3 days a week. I have free time throughout the day on my remote days and on the weekends as well. I always like to take care of animals as if they are my own. Your animals will always be safe and secure and I always go the extra mile to make sure they are as comfortable and safe as possible.
“Peyton was very reliable and did a wonderful job taking care of our 10 yr old lab, Bella. She put our minds at ease sending a picture. We would not hesitate using Peyton again. She is caring, reliable, and followed all instructions.”
About: I’ve had experience with all different breeds, sizes, and personalities. I am comfortable walking dogs, feeding, and giving medication if needed. I treat every dog as if they were my own, and feel that it is important to provide a safe and comfortable environment for them. I work part time at home through out the week with a flexible schedule, so I will be available when needed. During the summer I am available any day of the week. I am willing to take on last minute pet sitting jobs, but I would prefer to know ahead of time! Pets need safe and comfortable environments. Whether out on a walk or at home, I will make sure your dog is supervised and treated with patience and kindness.
“As a first time puppy owner, finding the right person to watch your fur baby is nerve wrecking. Riley was amazing!! She provided in-home daycare for our pup and kept up with his routine. She sent pics and videos of him and he seemed so happy. I’ll definitely be booking her again to watch or furry friend.”
About: I grew up with a highly energetic German Shepherd as a teen and have lived with and cared for multiple cats as an adult. Aside from that, I’ve done pet and house sitting for friends, neighbors, and acquaintances for several years. More than anything, I find animals fascinating, and I bring curiosity and a genuine interest in each pet’s unique personality. I’m currently taking a sabbatical from work so my schedule is very flexible. I can do house sitting any day of the week but walks and drop-ins are by arrangement only. When house sitting, I make it a priority to maintain your pet’s existing routine as closely as possible; same feeding times, same walks, same sleeping arrangements. Familiar schedules go a long way toward keeping pets calm and relaxed while their owners are away. I’ll follow your instructions carefully and ask clarifying questions upfront so there are no surprises. I’m also attentive to changes in behavior or health, and will reach out promptly if anything seems off
“Xin is beyond amazing. She cared for my 2 kittens as if they were her own. She’s wonderful with them, shared lots of pics and updates and they loved her. It was clear they were in good hands and I had nothing to worry about. Highly recommend ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️”
About: What sets me apart is that caring for dogs is more than a side hustle for me—it’s part of who I am. After years as a tax professional, I stepped away to slow down and live with more peace. In my walk with Christ, I’ve learned the value of patience, consistency, and unconditional love—qualities that shine through when I’m caring for dogs. I truly enjoy their company and treat them like family. As a child, my father bred American Akitas, and I've owned and cared for over 25 dogs between myself and my wife. I've been around dogs my whole life. I enjoy their company, whether it’s a quiet cuddle, an energetic walk, or simply sitting with them so they feel safe and cared for. I know how important it is to trust the person looking after your pet, so I provide reliable communication, regular updates, and the kind of attention that makes your dog feel at home. Every pup in my care is treated like family, because that’s what they deserve. After stepping away from the busyness of my old career, dogs are more a part of my everyday life, so pet care fits naturally into my routine. I spend time daily walking or playing, feeding, and caring for my own dogs, and I structure my schedule so I can give full attention to the pets I look after. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday drop-ins, or evening feedings, I build my days around making sure dogs are comfortable and cared for. I enjoy the consistency and companionship they bring—it’s part of what keeps me grounded and fulfilled. In my home, safety and comfort come first. We live on 1.5 acres of land where I’ve trained my own dogs to respect boundaries and stay on property, but all guest dogs remain on-leash when outside unless otherwise agreed. I offer multiple housing options depending on the size and personality of your dog—ranging from crates (14in, 28in, or 48in metal) to larger 6x6x10 indoor kennel enclosures in our spacious 1200 sq ft basement. For social dogs, I’m able to introduce them carefully to my own confident and balanced dogs, but if separation is needed, I can easily house them apart. Guest dogs also spend plenty of time with me upstairs so they don’t feel isolated. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routines closely—feeding, walk schedules, and house rules—while providing my own expertise where it benefits the dog. My only request is to use a slip lead leash, as it provides safer, more secure control, especially for larger or energetic breeds. I am comfortable administering medication, following special diets, and working with anxious dogs who need extra playtime or structure to relax. With years of experience handling XL American Bullies, combined with my calm demeanor and strong physical presence (6’4”, 275 lbs), I have yet to meet a dog I can’t handle safely. My goal is always to create a safe, trusting environment where your dog feels secure and cared for like family. During bookings, I personally supervise any minor children in my home to ensure all pets remain safe and comfortable. I understand Rover’s Guarantee applies to sitters and the booked pets, not to other family members.

Terry was phenomenal with our large dogs, truly treating them like his own. He provided good care, communicated us extensively, and was punctual for his visits. I couldn’t be more pleased with his service; we will absolutely ask him to care for our dogs again.
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!

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.

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 .

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.

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.

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.
