About: I’ve been a dog person for as long as I can remember. We got our first pup when I was 5, and I’ve been obsessed ever since. I’m always the person who finds the dog first at someone’s house, and my camera roll is probably 90% pictures of animals. I’ve lived with dogs for about 30 years and have been around all kinds of personalities, from high-energy pups to sleepy seniors. I’m especially comfortable caring for multiple pets at once and making sure each one gets the attention, routine, and care they need. I’m comfortable following your pets’ normal routines at home, including feeding schedules, medications, walks, enrichment, basic commands, and training. I’ve worked with professionally trained dogs and am familiar with e-collars and other owner-provided training tools when those are already part of your dog’s routine. I’m a remote designer and small business owner, so my schedule is very flexible and I can spend a lot of time with your pets while you’re away. I’m also naturally tidy and respectful of other people’s homes, and I’ll treat your house like it’s my own. Whether you have one pup or a whole little crew, my goal is for everyone to feel comfortable, happy, and cared for while you’re gone, and for you to be able to relax knowing your pets and home are in good hands. I work remotely and run my own small business, so my schedule is super flexible. I can work around your pet’s normal routine and I’m around a lot during the day. Walks, meals, potty breaks, playtime, or just hanging out while I work all fit pretty naturally into my day. I try to keep things as normal as possible for your pets while you’re gone. I’ll follow their usual routine, feeding schedule, house rules, and anything else you normally do with them. I’m also really respectful of people’s homes and always want you to feel comfortable knowing both your pets and your home are being taken care of.
About: I have personal life experience with all ages of animals. I will care for them all with love. I understand that patience is the best communication. I’m available full time for in home care/ visits/ walking. Any additional care upon request. I’m experienced/ available with overnight care as well as long hour days. I try to understand the animal first. I recognize patterns and see when an animal is uncomfortable. I try to aide in their comfort and provide whatever is needed at the time. If you have specific instructions, I can follow them precisely.
About: I’ve house sat and took care of a puppy Dachshund for about a month, as well as day visiting with friends’ dogs to give them play time and food! I love walking and playing with dogs, it’s a great way to spend time outside while learning their fun little personalities! I currently am working two part time jobs so I have some flexibility when it comes to helping out and caring for pets! Mornings are almost always open for me, along with evenings. I provide a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for pets in their own home. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and crate time if needed. I will always treat your home and pet with care and respect.
“Michaela was great with our gentle giants. They typically are timid and bark at new people for a while after entering the home, but when she came in, they took so quickly to her and my most fearful and timid dog did not bark at her nonstop. He actually went up to her quicker than any other dog sitter previously. Michaela sent updates throughout the visit and kept me up to date. The dogs really seemed to like her which was such a blessing. Having 3 large dogs can be intimidating, but Michaela was at ease and did a wonderful job. I definitely would recommend her and will use her again in the future.”
“Bear and Lulu love Courtney! Another fantastic stay, and sent us great pictures and notes. Excited to bring Courtney back next time. We highly recommend Courtney. She is amazing with our fur babies, and so kind and responsive.”
“Tahniiyah was AMAZING! She was so great with my dog who is typically very anxious around new people. She was on time, very communicative, respectful of our home, and all around amazing person. I will definitely be hiring her again.”
“Maci took great care of my sweet girl. She provided regular updates and photos and I feel my dog was well taken care of. I wound totally recommend Maci as a sitter. Thank you!”
“Erica is great and we highly recommend her. When first booking with her we did a meet and greet and explained the special handling Max our cranky 15 yr old ankle biter required along with our two other dogs and tortoises. She went out of her way to make several more visits to get Max accustomed to her, which wasn’t easy but she didn’t give up. She sent videos and pictures daily to keep us up on how things were going. I think the dogs enjoyed their time with her and she even managed to tame the beast in cranky Max. She also left the house straighten up, dishes washed and everything in order which is nice to find when you return home from a trip. She will certainly be our pet sitter of choice moving forward.”
About: I have always taken care for friends family and neighbors since a child. All animals are good even reptiles. Love all animals.Want to earn extra income. Empty nester with only one cat at home.Right now I sit for my grand dogs when my adult kids go out of town.m My son has 2 medium mixed dogs and my daughter has an Aussie doodle. I live with elderly Mom and work from home 9 to 5. I have extra time on my hands . My kids are grown and pets have aged out. Can work nights weekends and middle of day breaks if close enough. I can come for visits or stay over as I have someone at my house for my cat. I can give weekday morning noon and evening visits and open all weekends.
“I highly recommend Amanda for pet sitting in your home! She sent regular updates and pictures and followed instructions by keeping my Red well-fed and exercised, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. She also helped to keep my home tidy! Thanks Amanda!”
About: I’ve spent my whole life around pets, caring for them with love and dedication. After my own dog, Techa, passed away, I realized I still have so much love to give, even if I’m not quite ready to adopt again. That became part of my own journey with pets, and it’s why I opened my home to welcome and care for other families’ dogs. I don’t just stay home with them, I take them out, observe them closely, and tune into what they need and what makes them feel happy and safe. I have a natural intuition with dogs and pay close attention to their behavior and energy so they feel understood and comfortable. I also love sending lots of photos and videos so you can feel connected and at ease while you’re away, just like I would want for my own dog. . Be prepared for some cute photo bombing! Because I work remotely, your dog will have constant companionship, care, and lots of love throughout the day. I’m available for weekends and extended stays, and I always send daily photo and video updates for peace of mind. I have a fenced yard with a small garden, and there are no other animals in the house, so your pet will receive my full attention. I believe animals need daily outings to stay healthy and happy, so I offer at least two walks a day, either short or long depending on their needs. Playtime and affection are also essential parts of my care routine. If I care for your pet at their home, I make sure to follow their regular routine, so they feel comfortable and secure in their own environment. I also send daily photos and videos to owners so they can relax knowing their furry family member is safe, happy, and well cared for
“Sarah was so amazing!! We absolutely trusted her with our big ol baby of a Great Dane. She kept our house clean and even have a welcome home gift for us too!! Thank you so much Sarah!”
About: I’ve cared for animals since I was a child. I currently have 2 dogs and a cat. I’ll go above and beyond for animals. I’m patient, strong, caring, and I understand the attention that each animal needs. I’ll treat your pets like my own and my fur babies are family. I understand the stress of leaving your animals so I hope to gain the trust of you and your animals! I work from home so I have the flexibility of being with your pets for most of the day. I currently work from home and have the flexibility of caring for animals whether it’s a drop in visit, multiple walks, or day care. I’ll be there. I have two friendly dogs of my own and my cat is as sassy as a dog. I have a condo with a large grassy area for walks and I take my own dogs on a 3 mile walk around the house.
About: I have cared for dogs since I was about 7 years old. I’ve owned or have pet sat for all ages, sizes, and breeds. From puppies, to 15 year old doggos, I’ve got your back! I am currently a student, so making a couple of pup friends sounds like a great way to spend time outside, get active, and be helpful! I have a fenced yard and two cats. I always walk dogs on a leash, on the sidewalk, in well lit, pet-friendly/safe areas. I have multiple dog parks nearby that I would be open to taking your dog to (upon request only).

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 The Willows 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 The Willows 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 The Willows 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.
