About: I provide reliable, attentive pet care and understand how important it is to keep pets comfortable while their owners are away. Every booking includes morning and evening updates with photos, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. I have hands-on experience caring for multiple pets at once, including dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. My responsibilities have included feeding, walking, exercise, playtime, and ensuring each pet receives the individual attention they need. I've cared for family pets, friends' dogs, and pets with unique care requirements. In addition to dogs, I have experience caring for other animals such as lizards and fish, which has taught me the importance of following care instructions carefully and maintaining consistent routines. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to provide a safe, stress-free experience while keeping their normal schedule as consistent as possible. As a college student with a flexible schedule, I'm often available for daytime walks, drop-in visits, and extended companionship during house-sitting stays. I'm currently a full-time college student with a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide pet care throughout the week, including weekdays, weekends, and varying times of day. This flexibility helps me accommodate your pet's routine and provide consistent care while you're away. Because of my flexible schedule, I'm often able to spend more time with pets throughout the day than sitters who work traditional 9–5 jobs, helping them receive more companionship, exercise, and attention. I prioritize safety, trust, and a comfortable environment in every pet-sitting experience. Since I care for pets in their own home, I respect your space and maintain your pet's normal routine so they feel secure and comfortable while you're away. During walks, your pet's safety is my top priority. I use secure leashing, stay aware of our surroundings, and avoid potentially unsafe situations such as busy roads or unfamiliar dogs. I take the time to understand each pet's behavior, personality, and comfort level to ensure safe and enjoyable walks.

Abigail did a fantastic job!! She was on time, reliable, left our home in great condition, exceeded our expectations, and our fur-babies absolutely loved her! I came home briefly to grab an item, and found them all curled up on the sofa together. It was such a relief to know that my home and my animals were in good hands. We will definitely be using her again, and totally recommend her to anyone seeking quality pet care. Thank you, Abigail!

Chae did an outstanding job watching my dog in my home. She was kind and thoughtful, and followed my directions on the RX needs of my pet. I would def have Chae back in my home to watch my doggie for a few days or just having her stop by to let my dog out for a few mins. Very happy to have found Chae here.

Elizabeth stayed for two full weeks at our house taking care of all the pets, and even the plants. It was SO nice leaving without needed to do anything or stressing the animals with a different environment or prolonged loneliness while we were gone and returning with everyone and everything still in its place happy and healthy.

About: I love animals, especially dogs, and spend a lot of my free time volunteering at local shelters. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and disabilities. Currently I am caring for two dogs with disabilities long term: and elderly French Bulldog with partial paralysis, and a young pittie mix with three legs due to a car accident. These dogs require equal amounts of patience and love when being cared for, as well as extra attention and physical aid with mobility (ex. going up and down stairs) I'm someone who genuinely loves animals, and would do this for free if everything wasn't so expensive now. I will take the time to socialize and get to know your pet so they are comfortable, relaxed, and overjoyed when I arrive. I also have a medical background which makes me very comfortable dealing with pet medications and special needs. I currently work part time with a flexible schedule. This allows me to plan around my clients schedules and ensure I am free to care for your pet almost any day and time. I take care of two disabled dogs full time, they require extra care and attention but you can expect that same level from me when I care for any pet. You can expect me to tailor the experience to your specific doggos needs, to socialize and play with them, and to make sure they're always overjoyed when I stop by. I have good attention to detail and a medical background which allows me to handle any special needs or routines your pet has.

We are grateful to find Rebecca to watch Murphy, our English lab. Murph can be a bit of a diva, he demands a lot of attention and can be difficult to walk sometimes. He requires a lot of patience! Rebecca is great, she is very responsible and I trust her with my beloved pup. I appreciate the updates she gave and the level of care she provided. We will definitely be seeking Rebeccas’ services again soon!

Amy is absolutely, hands-down, the best pet sitter we have ever met in 30 years! Let me be clear: we have met some great dog sitters. However, Amy has raised the bar so high, I don't think we can ever go with anyone else. I mean, if Amy isn't available, then we probably won't travel. Amy showed up on time. She walked the dogs for hours and hours during the week we were gone. I would love to know the mile count for how many miles she walked the dogs because it has got to be up there! I was nervous about the heat/weather conditions for our senior Lab, and also for the big guy with a thick undercoat. Amy had so many solutions to work around the heat. On the days it was too hot (in the 90's), she entertained them in the shade of the backyard and with mental stimulation games, too. My dogs were so well-exercised and tended to, that they didn't even have time to miss us! This is coming from someone who is always on the verge of backing out of a vacation where the dogs aren't coming because I miss them so much. Our two pups were so loved in our absence that I spent nary a moment worrying about their well-being. This is a first! Amy also kept highly detailed notes (with a lighthearted, whimsical prose) that captured their daily adventures. The photos she sent matched the writing, so that I could see everything that they saw on their walks. I have no idea how Amy managed to walk two large dogs and keep record of everything through photos! Everything from their long strolls around the local trails, the sniffing, the squirrel hunts, the friends they saw along the path....it was clear my dogs were having the best staycation of their lives. Amy was quick to respond and always kept me abreast of everything going on back home while we were away. For instance, one night, our new dog was scared because someone had been shooting fireworks. We did not know (yet) that he was scared of fireworks, so this was news to us. Amy said that she kept him company, and kept a very close eye on him, until the fireworks ended. She also kept our senior dog safe from the big boy's zoomies and bursts of energy. There is so much more I could say, but this is already too long. If you are still reading, Amy is also super conscientious of your home. She kept the dog bowls cleaner than we ever do, and she wiped down counters and tidied up the dog toy space. This is so far above and beyond what we hired her to do. She is such a gem. Oh, and last thing: she is so sweet and so pleasant. I highly recommend this sitter. You will never go back to anyone else!

About: Hi there! I'm Emily and I can't wait to meet your furry family members! I know how important it is to find someone reliable who treats your pets like their own. Following an 8-year professional career as a public health and safety inspector, I have transitioned into providing premium pet care full time. I bring immaculate sanitation, escape prevention protocols, and expert attention to detail to every single visit. To provide you with total peace of mind, I am also fully covered by private commercial pet care insurance, making your pet’s health and safety my absolute highest priority 💕🐾 I’ve spent my entire life around animals of all shapes and sizes, a passion that started with my family’s decades long legacy of breeding and training Labrador Retrievers. Growing up in that environment gave me a deep, intuitive understanding of dog behavior and a special knack for working with puppies. Having also worked professionally in boarding kennels, I understand the language and temperaments of different breeds and the unique needs of animals while they are away from their families. I am an expert at reinforcing the structure and house rules you already have in place, ensuring your pet stays on the right track during our time together. To keep your pets safe from the intense summer heat, I specialize in premium, climate controlled drop-ins, dog walks, and cat care. Whether it’s tailored indoor enrichment, morning neighborhood strolls, shaded backyard potty breaks, or a cozy afternoon of belly rubs, I’m here to make sure your pet feels completely safe, loved, and entertained while you’re away ❤️ I am currently available all days of the week for drop-ins, dog walking, and house sitting. My availability for busy holiday weekends operates on a first-come, first-served basis, so it is best to book as soon as possible to ensure your preferred time slots! 🏠 HOUSE SITTING NOTE: I provide dedicated overnight care so your pets enjoy a consistent evening and morning routine while your home remains fully secure. Please note that I do step out in blocks of up to 4 hours during the day to service my routine local clients and check on my own home. Your pets will still receive midday check-ins, walks, and potty breaks in addition to overnight care. This setup is a perfect match for pets who are comfortable with some independent time during the day! 🌿 Complimentary Home & Plant Care: As part of my premium house sitting service, I am meticulous about home security, including managing mail, rotating lights, and operating alarm systems. Additionally, as an experienced plant enthusiast, I am more than happy to provide watering and care for your houseplant collection and yard plants while you are away! 🕣 SHORT-NOTICE POLICY: I pride myself on being reliable and am happy to accommodate requests on short notice to ensure your pets are well cared for. Because these requests require me to adjust my schedule, a convenience fee applies to all bookings made with less than 24 hours notice. Why Choose Me? Uncompromising Safety: Your home and pets are treated with the utmost respect. I meticulously follow all your specific instructions to the letter, from medication schedules and allergy restrictions to securing locks and gates. Smart & Safe Exercise: I am highly proactive about avoiding the hot pavement during the summer heat! For dogs who love to stroll, I happily offer early morning or late evening walks when the temperatures are safe. During the peak heat of the day, we stick to engaging indoor playtime and quick, shaded backyard potty breaks. Constant Connection: I know how hard it is to leave your fur babies behind! Expect thorough visit summaries and plenty of cute photos straight to your phone so you always know exactly how much fun we are having.

I was nervous to use Rover as i have had the same pet sitter for 10+ years. Eden put my worries to rest very quickly. She was extremely professional and very kind from the very first meet and greet visit. She sent pictures and updates throughout my trip. I will be using her in the future when we travel again.

FAQs for House Sitting - Woolsey

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Woolsey on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 8,656 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Woolsey. 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 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.

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 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 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Woolsey. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% can help with daily exercise

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.
