“This was our first time leaving Mika with a pet sitter, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Mitchel was kind enough to accommodate a last-minute meet and greet, and from the beginning, he was very patient with Mika. Since she can be fearful and reactive, she needs time to feel comfortable with new people. Mitchel gave her all the time and space she needed to approach him at her own pace, and he kept her entertained with plenty of playtime while being patient during her more anxious moments. He also kept us updated throughout the stay, which meant a lot to us as first-time pet-sitting clients. We’re so grateful for his patience, kindness, and understanding of Mika’s needs. We would absolutely recommend Mitchel to anyone looking for a caring and attentive sitter!”
“Amazing experience! Jadyn was a great communicator and sent me lots of pictures. She was prompt, respectful and I could tell my Louie loved her. I will not hesitate to use Jadyn again!”
“Ida did a fantastic job taking care of our fur babies. We will definitely use her again. She sent us updates and pictures of our babies and they just love her! Thank You So Much!!”
About: Two of my friends recently have told me that I have a love for dogs that stands out - why I am apart of Rover now!:) I do not have a dog of my own (right now) but I have a huge desire to walk, play with, love on, any dog shape size whatever!!! I will ask to babysit my friends dog because they are essential to my life!:) I can come by before 7am, lunch time, or after 4pm. However, if I am needed to stay at a house to watch the pet I can because I work remote. My schedule is very flexible due to working remote. I care for them by making sure they are fed exercised loved on and as comfortable as possible. I love playing fetch walking and just loving on the pet!!
“Kim has become one of my FAVORITE people!! She absolutely cared for my pups just like we would (maybe better??!! Haha!!). We have a special pup that doesn’t care for new people too much, and she made her comfortable within minutes. Kim has a super sweet spirit, which is sensed by humans and animals alike. She also pays attention to detail better than most people I know, and never missed a beat on the instructions I left for her. You will not ever want anyone else to watch your fur babies again! I’m looking forward to the next time already!! ☺️”
“Colleen did a fabulous job staying with and keeping both our pups happy while we were away! She send photos and updates regularly which put us at ease. We definitely recommend her to anyone! 👍🏻👍🏻”
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was a child. I lived on a farm and took care of every kind of animal there was! My neighbors and friends have relied on me to care for their fur babies while they were out of town. This included walking, brushing, cuddling, feeding, cleaning up after them and making sure they were happy while their favorite people were away! I truly love animals in all shapes and sizes and would consider it a blessing to be able to watch yours! I took care of a very elderly dog in the last stages of his life and was so happy to be able to be there to comfort him as he passed on. The rate listed on my site is for a 24 hour stay. I would only leave for a few short breaks. I sell Avon so I make my own schedule. This leaves me plenty of time to take care of your precious animals. I am able to go to your home as many times a day that you think is needed. I have a very elderly cat so I am unable to care for pets in my home until she passes. Once she does, then I can watch animals in my home. I am able to care for pets in their own homes.
About: I have had multiple pets such as dogs, cats, and even chickens over the span of my life so far and have gained excellent knowledge and experience. I am fully capable of caring for animals and making sure they are fed, walked, and comfortable while their family is away. I have a very flexible schedule and am able to prioritize things that need to be completed. I am a recent college grad trying to keep myself busy until I get married in November. I am responsible and leave you thinking about weither your pets are being cared for or not! Although taking care of animals in my own home is not greatest fit, I am able to drive and take care of animals in the clients home. I will follow the clients instructions on how to best take care of their fur babies while they are away. I will feed them, play with them, and make sure they are as comfortable as possible.
“Kamille was wonderful! My 4 dogs loved her and she gave updates and the pictures throughout the stay. House was just as organized and clean as we left it. So happy we found her and that our dogs were taken care of so well! Will definitely be using her again!!”
“Jillian really came through for me in a crunch. My family surprised me with a mini cruise for my birthday and brought my sister's dog to play with mine...but they forgot I needed someone to look after them while we were away. Jillian came to the rescue and housesat Vixen (my lab shepherd mix with severe separation anxiety and fear aggression towards unfamiliar dogs) and Indy (my sister's ball-obsessed Border Collie who has NO 'off' switch). Both dogs are highly intelligent, mischievous problem solvers, neither is for novice handlers. Both dogs were charmed by her during our initial meet and greet, both cuddled with her before we headed out on vacation, and both were happy and healthy upon our return. I would trust Jillian with my family's furbabies anytime :)”
“Mona was beyond amazing! She communicated throughout the stay sending me pictures and videos, my dogs were very happy when I got home, I highly recommend her! And I have two big 70 pound boxers!”
About: I am a lifelong animal lover and experienced pet sitter who is new to Rover but not new to caring for dogs. I work from home, which allows me to provide plenty of attention, companionship, and supervision throughout the day. I also have experience administering medications and am comfortable following detailed feeding, medication, and care routines. My husband and I live on a farm with our 4-year-old female Standard Poodle, Maggie. She is friendly, well trained, and enjoys having other dogs around. Although our yard is not fenced, all dogs are closely supervised outdoors and taken on multiple leashed walks each day. Our property offers plenty of space for safe walks, exploring, and sniffing. I recently completed my PhD at Baylor University and bring responsibility, attention to detail, and reliability to everything I do. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I will treat your dog like part of our family while keeping you updated throughout their stay. I have cared for pets for friends, family, and others since high school, with more regular pet-sitting experience in recent years. Please note that dogs staying in our home must be comfortable using stairs. I work from home most days, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I am available throughout the day for regular potty breaks, companionship, feeding, medication, and plenty of attention. I already follow a consistent routine with my Standard Poodle, Maggie, including multiple leashed walks each day. Because we live on a farm, visiting dogs also have plenty of opportunities to walk, explore, and sniff while remaining safely supervised. I live in a cozy studio apartment above the garage on our farm, so the indoor space is modest, but dogs have plenty of opportunities for supervised outdoor time, walks, and exploring around the property. I follow each pet’s usual feeding, walking, medication, and sleep routine as closely as possible. I also provide regular photos and updates so you can feel confident your pet is safe, comfortable, and well cared for.
About: My name is Lacey and I've been a dog owner for over 30 years but a dog lover my whole life. I recently celebrated my seven year anniversary as a Rover sitter and small business owner! My husband and I have one college age and two teenage children and a ten year old Brittany named Greta. Greta is super social, friendly and loves to bird hunt. For clients looking for boarding or day care, we have a dog door that leads to a spacious, fenced back yard that allows for more freedom in and out of the house. It can also be closed off when necessary. Our home is accommodating to both higher energy pups but also older dogs that like to be lazy and lounge around. I also offer dog walking and local drop-in visits for both cats and dogs. I have a flexible schedule, am centrally located and provide service in Hewitt, Woodway, Lorena, Robinson, McGregor and Waco. I have a lot of flexibility for pet sitting in my weekly schedule. I’m typically away from home for 1-3 hours during the week for local walks and drop in visits. I have a secure, fenced in yard. I only board a small amount of dogs at one time in my home. I do several regular walks and drop ins throughout the week.

Angela loved on my babies so well while I was away. So grateful for all the help, flexibility and care. Definitely booking them again. It is a relief to leave my dogs with someone I can trust and who will always go the extra mile to make sure your fur babies are taken care of well.
Dena was great! She followed every single instruction, was prompt, reliable and communicated very well with us while we were away. She also left our home clean and in perfect order. Our dogs didn't even seem to mind that we were gone LOL! We will definitely use Dena again in the future. Thank you, Dena! :)

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Woodway is $67 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $34 and $80 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 196 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Woodway. 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 Woodway 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 Woodway 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 Woodway 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.

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.
