Allison is amazing. She keeps to our schedule with our dogs, sends lots of updates and photos. It’s so nice to be able to take a vacation and know we have nothing to worry about at home.

Sabrina is such a fantastic pet sitter, a true God send! It was the first time we have ever left our boys alone with anyone and she was just fabulous!! She sent so many pictures, and kept us posted the entire time we were gone. She even took care of our lizards and fish for us. So reasonably priced and worth every penny. We will definitely be using her again and again and again!!!

Rebecca was an absolutely wonderful sitter for our pups! She was incredibly attentive, made sure all of their needs were met, and gave them so much love and care. Our dogs can be a bit high-energy and challenging at times, but she handled them with ease and confidence. From brushing them to bringing them toys and treats, Rebecca went above and beyond to make sure they felt happy, comfortable, and loved while we were away. It was clear that she genuinely cared for them and treated them like her own. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional pet care!

Sarah was absolutely amazing. We are so glad we found her. She sent lots of photos, stayed in touch with us the whole time and even washed the sheets and blankets from the guest room she stayed in! We look forward to her taking such good care of our pup again for our son’s wedding. It is such a relief to know your precious animals are in good hands. Judging from the way Zeus was looking at her in the photos he can’t wait either! 🐾

Lilliana has sat for my Winnie now twice. She is very communicative which leaves me assured winnie is in good hands. I always come back to a tidy place, as well as Winnie acting normal so I know she isn’t anxious with her. She is great with her schedule. She was also able to sit for us within a pinch when we found out we were leaving unexpectedly.

Samantha took AMAZING care of our babies and our home. She sent lots of updates and photos giving us peace of mind. Our very shy cat even came out to get cuddles with Samantha. She left our house so clean as well! She made us some special homemade popcorn as a coming home gift. A very thoughtful added touch.we will definitely use Samantha again when we travel.

"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 needed a pet sitter last minute due to our other option not working out. I found Aubrey and she was absolutely amazing! Our pups had a great time with her. She was respectful of our house and requirements and I can’t say more than great things about her. She even brought them treats and a toy! Thank you again and look forward to booking with you in the future.

About: I’ve cared for dogs my whole life and currently have two Cavalier King Charles Spaniels of my own, so I’m very familiar with the day-to-day responsibility that comes with looking after a pet. From feeding schedules and medication to exercise, playtime, and keeping to their routines, I understand how important consistency is. I also grew up with larger breeds including Labrador Retrievers, Rottweilers, and Golden Retrievers, so I’m confident and comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending quality time with animals rather than just “checking in” on them. Since I naturally spend a lot of time at home, I’m able to give dogs plenty of attention, companionship, and care while you’re away. My goal is always to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved until you’re back home. My schedule is very flexible, so I’m often available for walks, drop-in visits, or house sitting throughout the week. I also work as a personal trainer, so there are occasional times I’m with clients, but I’ll always communicate my availability clearly before accepting a booking. I enjoy spending time with dogs, so I’m happy to build my day around giving them the attention, exercise, and companionship they need. I’ve had dogs my whole life, from Cavaliers to larger breeds like Labs, Goldens, and Rottweilers, so I’m comfortable with a wide range of personalities and energy levels. I know every dog has their own routine, preferences, and sometimes medical or dietary needs, and I make it a priority to follow your instructions as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and secure. I’m naturally calm, patient, and attentive, so I’m happy working with shy, energetic, senior, or more nervous dogs. I keep a close eye on changes in behaviour, make sure they’re always safe, and give them plenty of affection, playtime, walks, or quiet company depending on what they enjoy most. If they’re ready for a nap, I’m equally happy to sit nearby and work on my laptop so they still have someone keeping them company.

Lauren was great. Super friendly and could tell she truely cared about taking care of our dog and 2 cats. She sent pictures and updates and asked questions to make sure she was doing everything right. She was accommodating with a more last minute booking to house sit for a weekend. Would definitely reccomend Lauren!

FAQs for House Sitting - Woodvale

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Woodvale on Rover is $31.08 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 1,517 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:

  • 93% 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.
