“We appreciate Brianna and her kind and caring spirit. This was the first time having her stay with our pups for a multiple overnight booking. They did wonderfully (Bri kept in touch consistently) and we had peace of mind throughout our time away.”
“Jessica was great! She accepted our booking last minute and still made time to do a meet and greet prior to watching our dog. She was very communicative and prompt! Would definitely book her again!”
About: I’ve always grown up with dogs in my home and have taken care of them since I can remember. I also frequently pet sit for my neighbors and have been for just about 5 years now! I have a couple families I regularly pet sit for now, so if you need someone to take care of your pups or kitties while your away, don’t hesitate to reach out! I’m currently a student and working part time. I work Mondays and Wednesdays 3-8pm, and babysit from 8am-2pm on Tuesday and Thursday. My weekends are totally free!! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness always come first. In my clients home, I strive to provide the best possible care for your Fur Babies. I follow all instructions carefully, whether that’s diet, medication, or house rules, so you can feel confident your pet is in caring, reliable hands!
“Sarah took our booking the week of and still made time to come do a meet and greet with us beforehand! She was very polite and took great care of our pets and home. I’m very pleased and would absolutely book her again.”
About: I have a long, sturdy fence that offers total peace of mind. Whether it's a puppy with zero recall or a senior who gets disoriented, they can enjoy the fresh air safely and off-leash under my constant supervision. I am happy to reinforce your consistency with house-training and basic manners. As a dedicated dog lover, pet care isn't a side task it’s my daily rhythm. I work from home, meaning your dog has constant companionship and immediate access to my secure, long-fenced yard for frequent "zoomies" or sunbathing. My long, secure fence is the backbone of my safety protocol. It allows for off-leash "zoomies" and exploration without the risk of bolting. I never leave dogs unattended in the yard; I am always out there with them.
“Jenny was hired for house sitting and watching 3 dogs for 4 days. She did a great job and made all the dogs feel comfortable, especially my fearful dog. Would definitely hire again.”
“Addie took wonderful care of our two cavapoos, as well as our house (and even my many plants) for the 9 days we were away! She sent us frequent updates and pictures, and we came home to 2 very happy dogs! She even stripped the bed and washed the sheets (which was so nice of her)! We hope Addie will come back and watch our dogs again soon!”
About: I have a strong passion for animal care, with experience working with a wide variety of pets, including puppies, senior dogs, and animals with special needs. What sets me apart from other sitters is my ability to customize care based on the unique needs of each pet. I’m skilled in basic puppy training, such as potty training and socialization, and have a keen understanding of how to support senior pets with mobility issues, dietary restrictions, and more. I also provide extra attention to pets that may be nervous or have anxiety, ensuring they feel comfortable and safe in my care. I take pride in treating each pet like family, ensuring they receive both the mental stimulation and physical care they need. I am currently working part time so I have plenty of time to care for pets of all kinds. I also have 2 children that love animals. In providing pet care, whether in my own home or a client’s, safety is always a top priority. I ensure pets are in secure environments by pet-proofing spaces, using non-toxic products, and closely supervising their activities to prevent accidents. Trust is fundamental in my relationship with both the pets and their owners; I take the time to understand the specific needs of each pet, maintain open communication, and follow through with the agreed-upon care routine. Creating a comfortable environment is equally important — I ensure pets feel at ease by maintaining familiar routines, providing cozy spaces, and offering plenty of stimulation and love. By focusing on safety, trust, and a pet-friendly environment, I ensure each pet receives the best care possible, tailored to their unique needs.
“Sierra was great with our dogs. We have 3 and they can be a lot. They vary in age from 3 to 12 and she kept up with all their different needs. She took wonderful care of them, and kept in great communication about how they were doing.”
“Casey did a great job taking care of our pups! She sent pics and they were very well taken care of and happy. We have her booked again for next month, so I’m sure our girls are looking forward to her staying with them again.”
About: Hi! I’m Jolene, an animal-loving, active, and experienced pet care professional who would love to care for your furry family members! 🐾 I have worked as a Licensed Veterinary Technician for the past 8 years, with years in both general practice and a surgical center. Caring for animals is not only something I love—it’s a big part of what I do every day. I’m comfortable with pets of all personalities and am especially attentive to their individual routines, behaviors, and needs. Outside of work, I’m very active and love running and spending time outdoors. I’m dependable, responsible, and genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet I care for. Whether your pet needs a long walk, some playtime, extra cuddles, or simply someone to keep them company while you’re away, I’ll treat them like they’re my own. I’m also comfortable following detailed care instructions and keeping you updated so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet you and your pets! 🐶🐱❤️ Due to my work schedule I am able to accommodate Friday evenings and weekend care. If you are needing in home care during the week we may be able to work something out. Please do not hesitate to reach out, I only want to provide the best care for your pet💛🐾 I am willing to provide care for your pet in the comfort of your home and I am also willing to bring your pet to my place as well. I will not pet sit more than on pet at a time at my place, if you have multiple fur babies then in home care will have to be provided. When I am watching a pet I want them to have my full attention. For pets that are staying with me I do not have a fenced in yard but I do live in a nice neighborhood and will take your dog on nice long walks - especially since that is something I enjoy doing anyways 😁
“Hayden was great taking care of our puppy and cat while we were away. Our puppy was still crate and potty training. Hayden managed it wonderfully and kept us in the loop while we were gone. They were in great hands!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs among friends and neighbors for years. I love getting to know each dog’s unique personality and making sure they feel comfortable, loved, and right at home while they’re in my care. Also, my schedule allows me to be home most of the day, which means frequent potty breaks, plenty of supervision, and lots of one-on-one attention! I have a flexible schedule and am home most of the day. Caring for pets is already a regular part of my life, so providing walks, playtime, feeding, medication administration, potty breaks, and plenty of attention throughout the day is easy to incorporate into my schedule. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I follow each pet’s routine carefully, maintain a clean, calm environment, and treat every dog like a member of my own family.
About: As a life-long animal lover, I've had the wonderful opportunity to take care of a variety of animals over the years. I personally have 2 shih tzus of my own, Archie and Chess; I formerly volunteered at adoption events walking dogs and caring for cats; and I have been trusted by friends & family to take care of their pets. I am currently a full-time student and work sparse hours. Consequentially, Tuesdays and Thursdays are my busiest days. Barring that, I surprisingly have very flexible availability! And no matter what, I will always prioritize your pet's care :) As a former house cleaner, I have years of experience taking care of others' homes! This has left a profound impact and, even in my personal life, I take the upmost care to ensure the spaces I inhabit are left a little better than I found it.
“Ariana was great with our dogs! She was patient with our dog who isn't great with new people, and did a great job of communicating how things were going. We would happily book her again!”
About: Dog walking was my first “official” job when i was 12 years old and ever since then I’ve loved meeting and caring for new pups! I have my own 2 dogs so i know how much yours means to you! I have experience with puppies as well as senior pups and also have experience administering medicine. I have a flexible work schedule so I’m able to accommodate most days and be there when you need me! Weekends may be busier than weekdays but if planned in advance i can make it work! I have 2 dogs of my owned who are crate trained. I am respectful of each individuals personal rules for their pets/ households and ensure to the best of my ability each pet will feel safe and comfortable in my care.
“Max saved us after multiple other sitters ghosted or even stood me up for a meet and greet! He did fantastic with our dog. He was immediate comfortable with him. He left our house spotless and is overall a great communicator. Highly recommend!”
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Woodville
Claire was an excellent sitter for our dog (and backyard chickens). Our pup was well taken care of. She followed the verbal and written instructions we left for her. She provided updates when asked and communicated in a timely manner. She left the house clean as well. I would highly recommend!
Very pleased with Taylor. Have you used her before. Will use her again in the future. Hershey seems to be very happy when I come home. I’m sure a lot of it to do on how well she treats Sam. She sent me pictures several times and gave me updates on how he was doing.
We had the best experience with Jenny S. We booked a weekend in house stay, for our daughter’s wedding. The animals were well taken care of, and very happy. She sent us daily photos, and we got to see how well they were doing. I highly recommend Jenny, it was wonderful.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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 Woodville 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 Woodville 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 Woodville 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
