“Karyna was wonderful with our two labs! She sent numerous update photos and texts to put our mind at ease and gave full attention and care to our girls. I would absolutely recommend using her for in home pet sitting or any services!”
“Susan was great and my dog immediately took to her. And then proceeded to follow her around like a little shadow for the rest of her visit. Thanks for you patience and cuddliness with my stage 5 clinger Susan!!”
About: Animals have always been a part of my life, so caring for them truly comes naturally to me. I’ve worked with rescues, fostered dogs, and recently rescued a pup of my own after moving to the Sacramento area. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, comfort level, and needs. I treat every pet in my care like they’re my own, with patience, love, attention, and plenty of affection. As a fellow animal mom, my goal is to make your loved one feel safe, happy, and loved while giving you peace of mind knowing they’re in caring hands. I currently work from home, which gives me the flexibility to make pet care a natural part of my daily routine. Since I have a dog of my own, my days already include regular walks, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of attention. I’m able to adjust my schedule based on each dog’s individual routine and needs, making sure they receive consistent care, companionship, and love throughout the day. Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, I always prioritize their safety, comfort, and individual routine. I follow feeding schedules, walk routines, medications or special instructions closely and make sure each pet gets plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. I have a flexible schedule, so pets are rarely left alone for long periods. I also have a friendly pup of my own and make sure any introductions are done thoughtfully so everyone feels safe and comfortable.
“Our dogs Brenda and Mickey were in great care with Maria. When they go to a boarding facility, they are stressed and lose weight. Luckily, they were able to stay home and Maria gave them the love and attention they need to feel comfortable and happy while we were gone. I definitely recommend Maria!”
“Cheryl was great with my two dogs and cat. Followed their routines, sent daily photos and updates and left my house cleaner than when I left! I would definitely book her again.”
“Joel looked after Loki for two weeks at our home. Loki is not the easiest dog to look after as he can't be left home alone yet. Joel did a sterling job caring for Loki, taking him for walks to places we haven't been! Loki had some real adventures. Loki loves Joel, we are grateful to have found him. Would highly recommend Joel for your house/pet sitting needs!”
“We had Brina stay with our pups for four days and she really bonded with them in that short time. She has maturity and is very responsible, paying attention to the details and our pups were very happy and quite calm upon our return. She has a gentle and mellow personality which mirrors that of our little cavaliers. Brina took great care of our babies as well as our home in our absence. We are quite pleased with Brina and we look forward to having her stay in our home for a longer, extended time. Thank you Brina.”
“Mehma has house sat my two dogs several times now (and hopefully many more times in the future). My dogs can be slow to warm up to new people, but it was love at first sight… although both have some separation anxiety, Mehma gives the calmest vibes and I think they really feel comfortable with her. She is also a great guest and always tidies up after herself. Mehma is trustworthy, flexible, dependable, and great with dogs, and I recommend her wholeheartedly!”
About: I live in the Sacramento Delta in a quiet neighborhood. Great neighborhood for walks and a nice fenced corner lot yard for your pup to run around in. I live with my elderly father who enjoys meeting new doggy friends. 24 hr supervision since I work remotely! I’m an early riser and enjoy morning walks. Your doggy will recieve a good amount of outdoor time and have an active and stimulating day. I’m comfortable with your dog sleeping in bed with me but respect if you prefer them to sleep in a crate. I work remotely so I have no issue staying at your house as well!
“We got introduced to Esmerilda through a mutual connection and from the moment we met her we knew she’d be a great fit for our felines! As an aspiring veterinarian, Esmerilda has great attention to detail and is confident in handling pets with special needs or complicated medical demands. We had her house/pet sit for us for 10 days while we were out of the country and never once did we have a worry about how things were going. It’s great that we have found our best friends’ new best friend!”
“I was extremely lucky to book such a qualified professional on such short notice. Communication and preparation was an easy process first of all. At the same time, while I was away from home for my military obligations, communication and updates stayed consistent. Aicha even double-checked to make sure I was receiving her messages. I was in a very isolated area doing mountain warfare training, and at the same time studying for tests to advance my career. Just saying, I could have been more responsive if I wasn't so busy. Aicha still went above and beyond to ensure I knew Chief was well taken care of. This fact was reinforced upon my arrival home. Chief actually seemed kind of sad that he wasn't seeing Aicha every day!! Aicha is amazing and will provide your pet with more than enough love, care, and affection. She is a TOP provider and I highly recommend her to others!!!!”
About: Around my neighborhood and with friends and family I’ve been trusted to care for cats and dogs. I’ve assisted in walks, feedings, play time, bathroom time and so on, as well as done each on my own. I love caring for all animals and because of my experience caring for pets from those in my neighborhood and with family and friends I’d like to do it more often as I enjoy the time I have with any animals. While caring for any beloved pet I pay attention to what they’re doing while giving them space to be themselves, making sure they’re well fed and taken on walks. If any concerns come up that I see from my time with any pet I make sure to reach out and inform you on what I’ve seen.
“We selected Ashley on short notice and she was awesome as both a dog and house sitter! Sent regular updates and pics of our dog. Was extremely flexible and stayed past our agreed upon end time due to an unexpected delay in our travel. Feel very comfortable with her as both a pet and house sitter. Will definitely use again.”
“Bari was great, she spent two nights with my dogs and I got updates on how they were doing along with pictures throughout her stay. I would definitely recommend her and would welcome her back to watch my dogs again. Thanks again Bari for everything and Emma and Buddy also say THANKS!”
“Kiet was a HUGE lifesaver, and came in to save the day last minute. Our older pup has been having some anxiety following the 4th of July festivities, and I couldn’t leave him alone while I went to work. That’s where Kiet comes in—he was able to hang out with my anxious senior pup while I was at work and I couldn’t be happier. Kiet was great with communication, and made sure all care notes for both pups were followed. Thank you Kiet for making sure Romeo (and Onyx) had some company these past few evenings.”
“Rachel was amazing. She met with us on short notice and stayed with our dogs. We received messages and pictures. First time using Rover.com, highly recommend, and will definetly use the service again.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 2,401 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Woodward. 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 Woodward 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 Woodward 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 Woodward 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.
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.
