“My fur baby bonded with Lanae quickly – it made me feel relaxed and able to enjoy my vacation. She sent updates regularly—with lovely and fun photos always!—played with Cai and even took the initiative to replenish her doggie frozen treats when we ran out! Lanae was so patient and flexible with some variables that came up and I appreciated that. I had no doubt that my fur baby was in great hands. I will definitely have her over to spend time with Cai again! Thank you, Lanae, for loving on Cai!”
“We are so happy that we found Heather. ❤she sent lots of pics and updates on our dogs 🐕. They seem very happy. The house was cleaner than I left it.we will definitely use her next time we travel.”
“Jordan was absolutely wonderful with our fur baby, Sugar! She took the time to let Sugar warm up at her own pace, and by the end of the sitting, our girl was completely cuddled up with her. We received gorgeous picture updates and fantastic communication throughout, so we never had a single worry. Jordan was also incredibly respectful of our home. We will definitely try to book her every time we need care for our baby!”
“Sarah was perfect! It was a last minute booking and she was a godsend. She came to meet me and my dog Tegan before the trip, communicated and sent pictures and it was such a relief for me! She took amazing care of my dog, gave her her medicine and sent me updates. I will definitely use her again and again!”
“We could not have been more happy with Tammie taking care of our pups ! She did an amazing job. She always stayed in communication with us whether by sending updates via text or sending pictures and videos of our pups. It was also obvious that our pups developed a bond with Tammie. which is extra comforting. We truly knew that our pups were in the right hands and our pups knew also. We will definitely call on Tammie again. Thank you Tammie !”
“We had a great experience with Allyson watching our two dogs for a week! She was very responsive throughout the stay and was proactive in bringing up that our one dog may be getting an ear infection. She was more than willing to help with a couple of house chores as well. We came home to a clean house and happy dogs! Thank you, Allyson!”
“This was our first time using a pet sitting service and it was absolutely amazing! Aniyah is so sweet and kind and she treated our Kingston like her own from the very first time of meeting him. Aniyah sent us pictures and updates throughout the whole stay which made us feel so relieved and comfortable knowing our boy was being well looked after. If you're looking for a dog sitter we highly recommend Aniyah, she was the best!!”
“Amanda was great with our 2 dogs. Played inside and outside with them. Sent lots of great pics and keeping us updated on how they were doing, eating and sleeping. Will be using her again in the future for sure.”
“James is fantastic! He has watched our dog (and house) several times. It is obvious that he loves animals and he is very neat and conscientious staying at our house. It has been so helpful having someone we trust to take care of things while we are gone. Highly recommend!”
About: With 10+ years of experience caring for dogs and cats in their homes, I understand how important it is for your pets to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. I have experience caring for everything from young puppies to senior dogs, including multiple dogs in one household and high-energy dogs who need plenty of exercise and attention. I’m comfortable following individualized routines, including special diets and oral or topical medications/treatments. I’m also happy to learn and follow your pet’s specific care instructions to make sure their routine stays as consistent as possible while you’re away. For active dogs, I’m more than happy to match their energy—I’m willing to go on whatever length of walk is appropriate for their needs rather than treating exercise as a one-size-fits-all service. Whether your dog needs a long walk and lots of playtime or prefers a quiet, relaxed day at home, I’ll tailor their care to them. I know that house sitting is about more than just caring for your pets. I’ll treat your home with the same respect and care I would want someone to show my own, and I’ll make sure your pets receive plenty of attention, companionship, and affection while you’re away. I currently have a very flexible schedule and am available most days for pet care, including daytime visits, walks, and overnight house sitting. I have plenty of time to dedicate to your pets and can accommodate their individual routines and needs. My availability will become more limited when I begin my full-time position later this year, but I will keep my Rover calendar up to date and only accept bookings I can give my full attention to. When caring for your pets in your home, I treat both your pets and your home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I follow your instructions and your pets’ normal routines closely, including feeding, medications, exercise, and other special care needs. I’m attentive to safety and will make sure your pets are secure and comfortable throughout my stay or visit. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

I’m working a part time job mainly from 5 or 6 to 10 like 3 or 4 days a week I have open availability other then that I can feed and give medicine to pets, can also train to walk on leash and not pull. And other easier trainings. Can clean up after the pet as also
“We booked with Rachel for a 4 night trip to stay in our home and dog sit. Prior to booking, we had a meet and greet. From the beginning it was clear to us that she was passionate about animals. We were taken away at her previous experiences with rescues and fostering and could tell immediately that she would take great care of our baby. Rachel was very professional and respectful of our home. She was very considerate and informative, keeping us up to date throughout the day with her interactions with our baby. She was flexible and accommodating to any of our requests. We would absolutely trust her again to take care of our home and fur baby.”
“Carmen is a rock solid pro who took great care of our 2 girls. Our pit bull is somewhat aggressive with strangers but to her credit she stood her ground and soon won her over. We were gone for 10 days and came home to happy dogs, live plants and a clean home. What more can you ask? I will definitely be using Carmen again in the future and suggest you do also…except on the dates when I need her. ?”
About: I regularly sit for my Dad. I've also consistently sat for friends, family friends, or neighbors. All have been different ages, sizes, and needs. I've helped train my dad's dog from puppyhood. I'm currently working part time, so I'll have time to be play with pups! I'll have time to stay for longer times with your pups until my shift. I can also do my job while being with pups if needed. If you're home has a fence, then I'll let them out off leash. If there is no fence, I will use the leash to let them out. (My family dog tends to run off if we don't leash him in the front yard so I understand the struggles) I'm comfortable with crating your dog while I'm working or at night if that is what you do. I'm also comfortable if that isn't the case.
About: I've taken obedience classes with my dog. I've been a pet owner/lover for 45+ years. I'm older and am going to drink coffee and play with your pups/cats in your home. Watch TV and snooze. No more. No less. Taking care of your pets so you can go do your thing is my full-time job. I believe that just like people love their children, we pet owners love our fur babies. In order to enjoy our time away, we need peace of mind knowing oir fur babies are loved and cared for. That they are peacefully at home loving life! I will care for your pets in your home just like you tell me to. It is important that we keep normalcy and schedule in your absence.
“Great we have used her 2 times now. First for a day trip and then for a 4 day trip. I have 5 pets and she cared for them all and had great communication and sent pics throughout the days . I will be definitely using her for future trips .”
“Jhada was so sweet, the boys were so happy and the house was so clean, it doesn’t even look like the dogs were home all weekend much less a new person! Will definitely book again!”

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 Woolsey 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 Woolsey 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 Woolsey 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.
