“We loved having Allie with our 2 small dogs while we were away for our 11 day vacation! We appreciated getting daily messages and photos of our pups having a great time. Our house and dogs were well cared for- it seems like they really miss having her here! She was able to work remotely and stay over with our dogs, which was perfect for their routine. They had their usual walks and play time, meal times, treats, etc. while she was staying with them. We had multiple deliveries, trash days and an interior painter visiting during our trip, and she managed all of that easily. We would definitely use her again!”
“David, we felt an immediate calm when we met you and saw you with Harry. Our snowboarding trip was a blast and we did not worry about our boy. We hope you will be willing for more stays…we want to snowboard more!”
About: I’ve had pets of all kind since the age of 4 and taken love for them since. I’ve had about 5 dogs, 4 birds 3 red ear slider turtles, multiple fishes and 1 cat throughout. I work full time as a properties manager. But in my spare time I would like to walk some dog as i truest enjoy walks, sitting and a fun time. I would care for your pest as if they were my own(of course respecting all your standards). Communication is key as I would like all expectations to be met and transparency across. To be trusted with a love one is a responsibility I take very seriously
About: I have a great, rambunctious 6-year-old Golden Retriever named Cobie, and previously had another wonderful, loving Golden Retriever named Max, who we cared for well into his old age--17! I have taken care of dogs for friends and family all throughout my life, and always shower them with all the love in the world! I am currently in graduate school, but I am available for late afternoons or evenings and nights during the week, and anytime during the weekend! I always ensure safety of the dog and the home, whether that be crates, blocking off parts of the house, and following set rules and routines. Just as important is love and gentleness, doing my best to build a dog's trust.
“Steve was fantastic! He was incredibly professional and communicative the entire time he watched our three (large) dogs for a week. Came home to happy dogs and a clean house. Will definitely book again!”
About: I’ve always had a close connection to animals since I was younger! I currently work at a dog daycare, handling anywhere from 40-60 dogs all in one group. I’ve been a dog daycare employee for the past five years and on top of that do pet sitting for the business as well. I currently work at a dog daycare, we’re only open during the week so I’m fully available on the weekends. I can still do pet sits, drop ins, etc. during the week, although there are some days I work from 7am-6pm, a morning shift for me would be 7-12 and afternoon 12-6. (The only way I would be able to bring your dog into daycare with me is if you signed them up for daycare and went through the interview process) or else I could bring them but they would be sitting in a crate the whole time:( When pet sitting a non daycare dog, if I’m working all day 7-6 I do get an hour lunch break at noon, where I then have the time to run back to the dog to let them out etc. When I stay at a clients house I make sure that before I leave for good everything looks exactly as it did before I got there. Depending on the age and abilities of the dog determines how our time is spent. If it’s an older or not very fit, energetic dog we may just relax in the house for the most part. For dogs with more energy that need to do something, we will do activities based on the clients/dogs preferences. As well as I am an active person and love going hiking on nice days, I’m happy to take dogs for hikes to get some exercise as long as the dog is fit to do so and the owner gives permission.
“Madeline took great care of my babies. She communicated every day, and asked questions when she was unsure of behaviors, which I appreciated. My pups were happy and calm when I came home telling me they were well taken care of and loved. I will definitely have Madeljne stay with my pups again.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats my whole life. I’ve always been relied on by family, friends, and neighbors to care for their pets in a loving manner. I am attentive, reliable, and careful. I am currently working on my Master’s degree online so I have plenty of free time to walk, check in on, or board your pets! I have a yard that is not fenced in, but it can but used with a leash. I live in a quiet neighborhood that is perfect for walks. I have 4 cats in my house as well as a small dog, but they will be closed off from where I stay.
“I recently went away for 4 days and Laura watched my cat Felipe for me. As a first time cat owner and adopting Felipe almost 3 months ago, I was very nervous about leaving Felipe alone especially over night. Laura kept me updated the whole time, sent me pictures at every drop in to ease my worries and even did some extra drop ins to give him a little company. This was my first time using Laura as my cat sitter and she was absolutely amazing with Felipe. Thank you for taking such good care of my baby”
“Having Hunter stay with our pets was a great decision. My dogs (pandemic puppies) get VERY excited when people come by so they were extra happy to have Hunter with them for a few days. I was at ease while she was staying with them and would book her again if the need arises.”
“Whitnee took great care of our 2 dogs. She sent us updates and pics. She was so reliable and responsive. She stayed in our home for 6 days and left our home neat and clean. Definitely recommend her.”
About: What sets me apart is my practical, real-world experience handling a wide variety of animal needs and environments. Working behind the scenes in a veterinary clinic taught me how to keep pet spaces clean and safe, while my time on a goat farm gave me the hands-on confidence to administer injections. Combined with giving oral medications to my own cat and senior dog, I am uniquely equipped to care for animals with specific health routines. Because I offer care exclusively in your home, I specialize in keeping independent pets safe, happy, and relaxed right in their own familiar surroundings. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine. Sunday through Thursday, I am available for overnight house sitting in your home. Please note that from Tuesday to Thursday, I do leave for a 6-hour work shift during the day, making me a perfect match for independent pets who don't mind some alone time. I utilize my mornings, late afternoons, and evenings on those days for dedicated care, walks, and drop-ins. On Fridays and Saturdays, I am available strictly for daytime walks and drop-in visits, as I stay out of town those nights. I provide pet care exclusively inside the client's home, keeping your pets safe and comfortable in their own familiar environment. When house sitting or dropping in, my priority is maintaining their exact daily routine. Thanks to my clinic helper and farm background, I am completely confident following complex instructions, keeping spaces clean, and administering oral medications or injections. You will receive regular updates, and you can rest assured your home and pets are cared for with a professional eye.
About: I've owned and cared for dogs ever since I was 12. I also have pet store experience, so I know about specific foods and treatments where they may be relevant. I am currently jobless, so I can head over for your dog pretty much any time. I take public transportation and Lyft to get around, hence the 3-day notice so I can plan for travel. I can walk and play with dogs for as short as 5 minutes, or as long as 60. I am willing to follow whatever guidelines the owners have for their pets.
About: Ever since I was a young child I've grown up around friends dogs always wanting a pet of my own to love and care for, 10 years ago my dream came true with a ball of kitty love named Oreo. I have taken care of dogs many times, when I would visit a house with a pet, I would always say hello to their pet and give them lots of pets. I've taken care of friend's dogs while they're on vacation and I would love to take care of yours! My experience with my own pets: I've grown up with cats, a total of 10 cats have been in this house with a max of 9 at a time! The first cat I had gotten was a ball of love named Oreo who grew up with many health issues but lived a long, happy 10 years of life. Next is Midnight, a loving black cat from the start of his life, lounging around the house to his hearts content. Holly was a scaredy cat from the start, though after years of treating her with gentle love now, she's comfortable around people and loves getting her long, luxurious coat brushed. Nermal, guess where her name came from, is a lazy cat who hates the vet and startles easily, but we make sure to keep an eye out for her to not scare her too bad. Loki came to us with his pregnant sister Mini, two kitties that were a handful! Loki was a being of chaos, attacking anyone who got close, unless you picked him up, now that he's calmed down I'm his favorite person in the world! Mini gave birth to a litter of 4 baby kittens, all of them grew up healthy and 3 of them were fostered off to loving families we trust dearly. Mini is living her best life lounging around on the floor, no idea why she loves the middle of walkways so much they've got to be super comfy. The baby we kept was the odd one out, a grey and white tuxedo we named Pipsqueak, the small squeaky girl who loves to play with anything that moves. I am a very free person without many major commitments at the moment and the ones I have are easily worked around with people at home who love and care for our house pets. I am very attentive to animal's needs, sometimes I worry a bit too much about them. Able to respond quickly to a bark to be let out or a cat hovering when it's time for food. Not only can I take care of pets I'm an expert at giving them all the love and attention they could ever ask for, so much that they'll get sick of me!
About: I have personally taken care of dogs and cats all throughout my life. Family and friends had me walk, feed, and bathe their pets. I have experience with puppies, dogs, kittens, and cats. I am available five to six days a week as I work from home. I am typically available and around during the weekend. I am willing to make adjustments if needed. I am very attentive and have to large dogs of my own so I am familiar with boundaries and typical needs. I will follow directions if left with me regarding particular rules or needs you may have.
“Gina did a great job with my cats, one of which has medical needs. She was very responsive whenever I checked in and she left my house exactly as I’d left it. I would definitely use her again for future vacations”
About: I've been taking care of my own pets for 6+ years. I make sure pets feel loved and well-cared for, whether it's playtime, feeding, or just giving them some extra snuggles. I understand that each pet has unique needs and preferences, so I adapt my approach to suit their individual personalities. Devoted and loving pet caretaker available around the clock. With a very flexible schedule, I can provide frequent walks, playtime, and feeding to keep your pets happy and healthy. I have a yard for your pet to play in with supervision. I have a small dog and cat that are friendly, But they can be moved to another part of the house if you prefer.
“Sowatey was excellent! He sent several photos and kept me informed the entire time I was away. He is super respectful and truly loves spending time with animals. I highly recommend Sowatey!”
“Katie did an absolutely phenomenal job taking care of my pup this past weekend!! It was a fairly last minute booking but I couldn't be happier. This was my first time using someone my {very anxious} dog Maverick wasn't familiar with and Katie won him over in record time! She provided excellent, timely updates with photos -- and dare I say Maverick even missed her as he was looking out the window all day yesterday! 10/10 recommend Katie and will absolutely be using her again! Thank you!!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Woodtick on Rover is $42 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 1,706 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Woodtick. 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 Woodtick 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 Woodtick 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 Woodtick 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.

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.
