“Jocelyn is an absolute gem! Our fur babies were so loved and well cared for, and we came home to a spotless house. She was incredibly communicative and gave us such peace of mind while we were away. We will definitely be using her again!”
“Sophia was wonderful to work with! She’s communicative and professional, our dog was very well taken care of, and our house was perfect after our trip! Highly recommend booking with Sophia.”
“My Zoey loved having Karen stay with her while I was on a trip. I got lots of pictures and texts about how she was doing. Zoey is a special little rescue pup and I felt so comfortable knowing she had Karen to take care of her while I was away. Great communication and will definitely be in touch in the future when I need a sitter.”
“Debra did a great job. She sent lots of videos and pictures. Both pups loved her. It’s always tough to be so far away from our 2 dogs, but we had nothing to worry about. She also came to our house before we left on vacation so we could relax and also staying till our follow up sitter came. So we were very happy with her.”
“Leigh was amazing with Duch yet again! I was updated without having to ask and had the peace of mind that Duch was in great care! Leigh goes above and beyond and I was so thankful to come back to a happy pup!”
“Stephen is very experienced and mature, not to mention friendly. We only needed to him to be a companion initially, but we will trust him with much more complex situations if one arises.”
“This was the first time our two older golden retrievers had stayed with a pet sitter that was not either part of the family or a close friend. Lori handled them very well, even though one was quite stubborn for her. She texted me daily pics and was great to work with. Highly recommend!”
About: My years of having and loving cats and dogs of different types has prepared me to be qualified to love and care for yours when you have a need. I am retired from the Army and Retail Distribution. I enjoy my travel time and socializing time, but want to be useful in a way that would absolutely bring me joy. Being with fur babies of the canine and feline variety would be fun. I can tailor my time to your needs. I can come to you so that your loved one does not need to be put in an environment they're not familiar with. Play time, cuddle time, walks, all no problem. I treat them as safely and lovingly as I do my own.
About: I’ll probably remember your dog’s name before I remember yours. It’s nothing personal. I’ve had animals most of my life and currently have three dogs and a cat. I’ve raised puppies, cared for senior pets, given medications, and I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and energy levels. One of my own dogs is dog reactive, so I’m also used to watching body language, managing triggers, and giving dogs the space they need. Mostly, I just really love animals. I go to the National Dog Show every year and visit local shelters in my free time. I’m not allowed to foster anymore because that’s how I kept ending up with more pets of my own. I have reliable transportation and a flexible schedule, so I’m often available for same-day or last-minute visits too. I know plans change, and I’m happy to help when I can. I work from home, which gives me a lot of flexibility throughout the day. It’s easy for me to step away for a walk or drop-in, and I’m often available on short notice. Whether you’re stuck in a late meeting, heading out for date night, or just need someone to check in during a long day away, I can usually work a visit into my schedule. Plus, I’m always happy for an excuse to get away from my desk and hang out with an animal for a while. I’m big on safety and following your pet’s normal routine. One of my own dogs is reactive, so I’m used to paying attention to body language, managing separate spaces, checking doors and gates, and being aware of our surroundings on walks. I’ll follow whatever instructions you leave, whether that’s feeding, medications, walks, crates, or just making sure a certain door stays closed. I know the little details matter, and I want your pet to feel comfortable while you’re away.
“Brady was fantastic. He communicated with us throughout our entire trip letting us know how Holly was doing and making she we knew she was happy and well cared for. He took care of and respected our home. We would not hesitate to have him back!”
“Even with heavy snow and bad weather, Terasa never missed a visit. Thank you so much for taking such great care of our cats — we really appreciate your dedication.”
“Abigail was a great sitter for my pups! She was super communicative during her stay and ensured they were well taken care of and happy. My girl dog is very hyperactive and she was able to handle her very well! I'd recommend her for your dog sitting needs :)”
About: I grew up pet sitting for several friends and family members. My family has owned Dobermans, Rottweilers, and huskies throughout the years. My own personal pets are a Belgian Malinois, a standard Poodle, and two cats. I am a certified dog groomer that has been grooming for 5 years, and was an assistant manager at a cat and dog boarding facility for 2 years. I have experience caring for all ages and sizes of pets, from newborns to seniors. I have experience working under and learning from a balanced trainer, however I am not an official dog trainer. I currently work 1-2 days a week, so I have plenty of availability to do drop in playtimes, potty breaks, and walks, multiple times per day if needed. My goal is to meet your pets' individual needs. If you have pets that are super high energy and want to go wild, I'm here for it! If you have pets that just want someone in the room to keep them company or cuddle for a bit, I'm here for it! The goal is to show your fur babies love and fun while I am with them, no matter what that looks like for them!
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and other pets for over 10 years, including my own dog, Chewie. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to feed, walk, play with, and care for their pets while they were away. I understand that every pet has a different personality and routine, and I take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I’m experienced with puppies, large breeds, senior dogs, administering oral medications when needed, and providing plenty of exercise, enrichment, and affection. I treat every pet as if they were my own. currently work, but I keep my schedule updated and make time for pet care. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting around my work schedule, including many mornings, evenings, and weekends. I’ll always communicate my availability clearly and make sure your pet gets the attention, exercise, and care they deserve while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow your pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, medications, walks, and any special instructions. I believe every pet deserves patience, kindness, and plenty of attention. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away.
“This is our second time having Annie watch our new(ish!) rescue pup who is still very shy. Annie was super gentle and patient with our shy girl, flexible, and diligent about giving us professional updates throughout our trip. There wasn’t a moment I felt unsure of how our fur baby was doing. Highly recommend Annie for her stellar service!”
“Meghan house/dog sat for us over the 4th of July holiday weekend. She was great with our energetic, large dog! She was flexible with our timing and gave us updates on how he was doing through fireworks and summer storms.”
“Alyssa did a great job spending the evening with my anxious little puppy. She was sensitive & patient with his anxiety and behavior and gave me some good feedback when I got back. I will definitely have Alyssa back.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Woodwards Corner is $55

Michaela is a dream. I’m an anxious dog parent and i had zero anxiety while away on my recent trip. She’s kind, caring and you can tell how much she loves dogs. Her communication level is exactly what you’re looking for when trusting someone with your four-legged family member. My doodle girls loved her and i know they’ll be excited whenever she comes back. Will book again and cannot say enough positive things.

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 Woodwards Corner 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 Woodwards Corner 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Woodwards Corner 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.
