“Kristen made me feel super at easy for Sauce's first sitter experience! She was on time, comfortable with Sauce, followed his typical routine, and knowledgable. She sent photos and videos, let me know what the two of them were up to, and gave updates on potty breaks and when she was leaving. Definitely reaching back out to her for future pup sitting! Thank you :)”

“Antonio was great with our nervous/reactive dog, Waylo, and knew not to push to create a relationship. Both Penny and Waylo were in great care, and updates were provided regularly. We felt confident that our dogs were in good hands. We definitely recommend Antonio, and would gladly use his services again.”

“We had such a great experience! Joy took wonderful care of our fur babies while we were away and gave us peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. She was reliable, communicative, and genuinely caring throughout the entire process. It’s always a little stressful leaving your pets behind, but she made everything so much easier. We’re so grateful for the care and attention she gave them and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dependable pet sitter!”


“If I could give Richard more than five stars, I would. Leaving our beloved Oliver and Stella for a week while we traveled to Colorado was much easier because of Richard. He was incredibly kind, patient, and thoughtful, but what really stood out was his communication. He kept us updated on everything, from eating habits and supplements to potty breaks and sleeping arrangements. We never had to wonder how they were doing because Richard always let us know. He paid attention to details that mattered and genuinely cared about their safety. When the weather was extremely hot, he adjusted their routine accordingly and made sure they stayed comfortable rather than risking walks in unsafe temperatures. It was also clear that Oliver and Stella adored him. They cuddled with him, sat on his lap, and settled in beautifully. Those little updates meant the world to us and showed just how much love and attention they were receiving. Richard is exactly the kind of person you hope to find when trusting someone with your pets: caring, responsible, attentive, and genuinely invested in their happiness. We would absolutely book with him again and honestly hope he becomes our permanent sitter whenever we're away. Oliver and Stella give him two paws way up!”

About: I grew up in a family that always had pets and working dogs mostly mixed breeds and some purebreds. I have had two dogs (one at a time) in the last thirty years. My first dog was a registered black Labrador. My wife gave her to me on our second Christmas together. Her name was Genoa - after the Italian city I studied in as a grad student. She passed away at nineteen years old. I now have a Maltese - Shih Tzu. He loves to play fetch even though he is eleven years old. I do DoorDash part-time, so I have a flexible schedule. I can work around your dog's routine to make sure they're fed and exercised regularly. In my experience, animals feel more comfortable and secure in their usual environment, so the only new element is my presence and how I interact with them. I have cared for dogs that need regular medications and exercise, and I maintain their schedule and activities as closely as possible. This is especially important to me when dealing with dogs who are crated or confined. I want to build a strong relationship with your pet based on trust and consistency.
About: I’ve always had a huge love for animals, especially dogs! I previously worked professionally as a dog handler and walker at Biscuits & Bath in New York City, where I gained hands-on experience caring for dogs with different personalities, sizes, energy levels, and individual needs. Through this experience, I learned how important patience, attentiveness, and consistency are when caring for someone’s pet. I’m comfortable managing multiple dogs, keeping them engaged and active, and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I understand that pets are family, and I take the responsibility of caring for them seriously. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or just having someone around to keep them company, I’ll make sure they receive the attention and affection they deserve. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in caring, experienced hands! I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to caring for pets! I’m happy to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, and other pet care needs throughout the week. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, so pet care is something I look forward to incorporating into my daily routine. I understand how important consistency is for pets, and I’ll always do my best to work around their usual feeding, walking, and playtime schedules. I’m also happy to discuss specific scheduling needs to find an arrangement that works best for you and your pet! Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priorities! My professional experience working with dogs has taught me how important it is to be attentive, patient, and aware of each animal’s behavior and individual needs. When caring for pets in their own homes, I make sure to respect their environment and maintain the routines they’re most comfortable with. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, and any special care requirements. I’m especially mindful of keeping doors and gates secure, using appropriate leashes and equipment, and ensuring pets are always supervised when necessary. I also understand that some animals may be nervous around new people, so I take a gentle approach and allow them to become comfortable at their own pace. I believe communication is an important part of building trust, and I’m always happy to send pictures and regular updates throughout each visit. My goal is to make sure both you and your pet feel safe, comfortable, and completely cared for!
About: I am a former teacher who left the profession. I am building my pet sitting business one sweet creature at a time. I have had my own dog that had to be put down at 8 for medical reasons and it was the worst day of my life. I have sat small and large dogs, cats, and have helped a friend with chickens. I am by no means a chicken expert though. I take pride in what I do. I also have my clearances from teaching, until they expire. I an currently a full time sitter, so I book sits ahead of time. I'm also available for check ins and walking at times as well. I want your pets to not miss a step just because you are not there. We'll do their routines and I would absolutely treat your pet and home with the respect as if they were my own.
“Hannah was able to eliminate most of the separation anxiety experienced by both my constant companion Luna and me. The videos and pics of her running at the dog park and doing "buttski" were priceless and made me smile and realize that she was in capable and competent hands. The phone communications and all the images and reassurance made the time away from my Luna manageable. Hannah has a sensitivity with animals that goes beyond "pet-sitting". I would highly recommend her. She is trustworthy and responsible with your home and your pet.”

“Christopher was a great sitter for our 4 month old lab, Hootie! He sent pictures and updates for us while we were away. When we watched our pet cam to check on our pup after he had left, Hootie was fast asleep- which never happens as he has some separation anxiety. We could tell that he had a great time and that Christopher took the time to have play time along with a structured visit! Thanks again!”

“We had a great experience with Madison. She took Luna on 2 nice long walks a day and respected our home. The house was very tidy when we returned from our trip. It was very nice to return to our home after a week away and feel like it was just the way we left it. Madison sent photos and gave me updates on Luna. We will use her again in the future. She is a super sweet young lady.”


“I have not left one of my pups to travel in over a year. She had her gall bladder removed June 2025 and was shortly thereafter diagnosed with Cushing's Disease, so I was scared to leave her, but I had a wedding in Charleston to go to, so I contacted Nikki. She came over and met the girls and I liked her a lot. She was on time the day I was leaving. She left the house just like she found it. She texted me frequesnt updates and pictures. She made my short trip to Charlestion much less stressful. I will definiotely reach out to Nikki the next time I need someone to stay at my house with the pups.”

“Leia is definitely a cat with a big personality. She usually doesn't let strangers get close to her, so I was honestly amazed that Alina managed to earn her trust. She was incredibly patient, never pushed Leia, and let her come around at her own pace. To my surprise, Leia even allowed Alina to pet her, which almost never happens. It's clear that Alina truly understands cats and knows how to make them feel safe. I couldn't have asked for better care for my little princess. Thank you so much! I would happily book with Alina again 🩷”

“Bria did a fabulous job of watching my boys! I have a special needs pup and she took great care of him!!! I could tell my boys were happy and well-loved while we were away. We will definitely use Bria in the future!”

About: I have had cats and dogs my whole life, haven’t yet met an animal that didn’t like me. I have experience with difficult dogs, nervous and overly excitable fur missiles. I’m willing to work with them as long as I feel safe to do so but im not a trainer, I don’t know how to make them unlearn bad behaviors and learn good ones. Right now I don’t have a regular full time job, I have been searching and applying but no offers as of yet. I have no kids or pets of my own so I’m available at nearly any time, from drop-in visits to overnight sitting. I understand letting a stranger into your home is unsettling, I don’t take it for granted and I’ll do my best to respect your home and pets. I don’t currently have my own home, I live with others so I’m unable to board pets. It tends to be less stress anyways for the pet to stay home where they are in a familiar environment. Unless they have a rigid routine involving sleeping in your bed with you, and won’t go to bed otherwise, I tend to stay on the couch.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Woodvale is $50

Christi was a gem! We loved having her stay with Beaux! She sent us the cutest messages (from Beaux) and really made us feel at ease when we were away. We noticied lastnight as we were watching tv that he was looking for her around the house and went into the guest room. We can't wait to use her again! Feel like I made a friend for life!

Cee was great, sent lots of photo updates (on my request) and communicated well during his stay. I couldn’t be happier we found him to watch our dogs. I felt confident my dogs were well taken care of while I was gone, we will definitely be booking with him again. Thanks Cee!

Kayla was absolutely amazing with Ninja! She always made sure he received the best care and regularly sent me updates, which gave me so much peace of mind. Ninja felt comfortable, safe, and loved with her. She is truly the best, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy, and dependable pet sitter!

Chelsea did a GREAT job! She house-sat with our dog and cat for a week while we were on vacation. She exercised the dog regularly, and sent us daily pics showing what the pets were up to. She also left our house in great shape. We really appreciated everything about our experience with Chelsea.

We had a great experience with Madison. She took Luna on 2 nice long walks a day and respected our home. The house was very tidy when we returned from our trip. It was very nice to return to our home after a week away and feel like it was just the way we left it. Madison sent photos and gave me updates on Luna. We will use her again in the future. She is a super sweet young lady.

When I have to travel and leave my babies I am comfortable leaving them with Greg. He is patient, loving, caring with them, plays with them and takes them for walks daily. He provides updates daily, sends pics and videos. Deff recommend him and super happy I found him.

The average cost of House Sitting in Woodvale is $34 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $56 per night.

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 Woodvale 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 Woodvale 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 Woodvale 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 , 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 .
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 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 .
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. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
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.
