“We are repeat customers and we just adore Allison! She is so prompt with responses and keeps us up to date with our pets! Our fur babies are always in good hands with her!”
“I highly recommend Sabrina! She watched my Great Dane, Banks, and stayed at my home for five days, and I couldn’t have been happier with the experience. This was my first time leaving Banks and my house with a pet sitter, so I was a little nervous, but Sabrina quickly put me at ease. She sent multiple pictures and updates every day, which was incredibly reassuring and allowed me to relax and enjoy my trip knowing Banks was happy and well cared for. She also took excellent care of my home—it looked exactly as I had left it when I returned. Banks was happy, the house was spotless, and everything went seamlessly. I would absolutely trust Sabrina with Banks and my home again and hope to rebook her for future trips. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life. My oldest fur baby (cat) will be turning 20 this year. I also have two small dogs that are 15 and 11 years old. I love animals. I’m currently a full time student. So I can come and love on your fur babies for you while you are away on a trip or at work. Pets are welcomed in my home and are treated with respect. All animals deserve love and attention. I can love on them for you while you are at work or on a trip.
“Meghan was such a pleasure to work with. She gave our senior dog the time and attention he deserved and brought out his playful inner puppy. She was great at communicating and we will definitely rebook with her soon!”
“Oli helped us out on really short notice and took fantastic care of our pup. It was such a relief to know our girl was getting love and attention while we were away. Thank you, Oli!”
“Mandy was wonderful! She was swift on all communication, arrived exactly on time and our little Sophie was immediately in love with her. It was clear that she was active playing with Sophie and followed meal plan and took superb care of her! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!”
“"I cannot recommend Crystal enough! She took wonderful care of our dog Rigby and our home while we were away — the house was spotless when we got back. Crystal provided regular updates, photos, and even videos so we never had to worry. Our flight got in late and she happily stayed later to make sure Rigby was taken care of. She's responsive, kind, and clearly loves what she does. We'll definitely be booking her again!”
“We are so grateful for Isaiah! We had to leave town last minute, and he worked with us every step of the way. He came by beforehand to meet our dogs and has a lot of experience. One of our dogs is a new adoption, and she really only likes me, but he was able to get her to a place where she was comfortable and not stressed around him. That alone says a lot about how good he is. He was accommodating to whatever we needed during the sit and was respectful of our home. When we got back, our pets were happy, relaxed, and acting completely like themselves. We’ve had experiences in the past where you could immediately tell the level of care they received, and this was the opposite. It truly felt like they had been cared for the way we would care for them. Isaiah was that person. We will definitely be reaching out to him again in the future.”
“Grateful for Hana’s continued service. She has a real rapport with my pup and is very kind and thoughtful with him. But also knows how to lovingly discipline him. Thanks!”
“Melanie was amazing! She watched our dog for the weekend, and saved us after another sitter had cancelled. She was communicative and kept us updated the whole time with photos and videos. She’s super sweet and reliable. We will definitely book her for future stays.”
“Jennifer was awesome! She took excellent care of our two dogs, Kona and Milo, while we were out of town. She was very friendly and sent frequent updates letting us know how the dogs were doing. We highly recommend her!”
“Lilliana was fantastic! She took care of our 4 wild pets while we were away and left everything just as clean as she found it. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter!”
About: I am very familiar with all types of dogs! I grew up with german shepherds and most recently have fostered a Great Pyrenees. I live a very active lifestyle and am looking to go on lots of walks with your fur baby! I love giving lots of attention and ensuring interactive time with the animals in my care. Use this link for $40 off your first Rover booking!!: https://www.rover.com/sit/nicolr34569 I'm currently working part-time and have a lot of time, especially during the day, to look after your pet(s). Just give me a heads up what your request is so I can take a look at my schedule. I can go on long or short walks (I prefer longer!) I will provide a safe environment and ensure your pet's needs are more than just met.
“Candice accommodated my reactive Aussie who is very distrusting of new people. She gave her space and let my doggo make all the moves which I really appreciate. She’s been communicative the whole time and sent pictures! I will definitely be using her again now that my dog has built some trust with her.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Woodvale on Rover is $31.08 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 1,525 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Woodvale. 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 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Woodvale. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
