“This is the second time we have booked Amy to watch our sweet dog. She was wonderful with our Mabel girl and went the extra mile with everyday spent, even the days mabel was stressing about her family not home and the thunder/tornadoes in the area. We will continue to book with Amy in the future.”
“Maddy stayed at my house for 3 nights with my two dogs while I was away on vacation, and she was an EXCELLENT pet sitter! Kept my home clean and in order, and my dogs absolutely love her - they were sad to see her go!! Maddy provided regular updates, including pictures and videos of my dogs, and she was super easy to contact. 5 stars!”
“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Hailey! From pre-booking all the way through the end of her stay, Hailey had excellent communication and took great care of our dog. She watched our senior rescue for over two weeks at our home while we were traveling out of the country. We came home to a very happy dog and a spotless house. Hailey was kind, professional, and mature in all our interactions with her, and we had such peace of mind knowing our dog (who takes multiple medications and has some mobility issues) was in great hands. Hailey was also extremely flexible when we had some last minute scheduling adjustments. We will definitely be reaching out to Hailey again for house and dog sitting when we go on future trips!”
“Alana was wonderful to work with! She was very responsive and communicative throughout the stay, sending daily updates and photos which gave us a lot of peace of mind. She took great care of our pets and helped them feel comfortable. She also left the house very clean, even doing more than we would’ve expected. She was also incredibly flexible when our travel plans changed due to flight issues. We’d definitely recommend her and would love to work with her again!”
About: I grew up on a farm and have always had pets. Cats, dogs and even a cow and chicken or two. I strongly believe our pets are family members just like our human family. I've had big and little dogs, and many different cats. My current little man is my best buddy he is spoiled and loved so much. He's 7 years old and loves other dogs to hang out with. He doesn't pay any attention to cats. I would love to care for your family member, giving you peace of mind that they will be well cared for and loved on while in my care. My availability is completely open, any day and time. I'm very flexible with dates and times, whether at your home or mine. Thank you for your time and I look forwars to hearing from you! I have a fenced in area for bathroom breaks and a large yard on a quiet country road to run and play in. I have space for a crate, I even have a very large one that can be used if necessary. Also have an almost two mile lane around our farm property to walk and run around. My home has plenty of space for exploring or just chilling out.
“Shannon has been with my dogs twice now. First time was as a drop in visit and second time was house sitting for 4 days. She kept me updated throughout the time I was away as well as kept my dogs very happy. They loved being with her and I was pleased with her care for my dogs. Shannon will now be my regular pet sitter as she is available and willing!”
About: I’ve had dogs as a big part of my family since I was extremely young. Having dogs has taught me so many new responsibilities, and struggles between figuring out what they need or what. I’m currently unemployed and looking into just taking college courses and having a part time job. With that I will have plenty of time to spend with your loving pets to ensure that they are properly cared for, and get all the attention they deserve while you’re gone. I will always ensure that they are fed when they need to be fed along with, making sure that they always have clean and drinkable water, lots of time outside to get out the zoomies during playtime, more than enough potty breaks, and clean litter boxes always.
About: I've taken care of dogs since for many years. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets. I also trained my parents dogs and my siberian husky. I enjoy taking care of your animals while you go on vacation or need someone to watch them for a day. I will make sure they get the attention while you're gone. I will also send you photos of your fur babies while you're having fun on your vacation. I know it can be quite nerve wracking to let someone else look after your pets, when they become family to you. I am always willing to do meet and greets prior to the time you need me, to make you and your animals feel more comfortable.
About: I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends and volunteering over the years. I currently am still in college and work a part time job until 6pm on the weekdays. However, I can make myself available before 6pm upon request! I do not work on the weekends so I am a available for your pet care needs! I would prefer to watch your pets in your home. I will keep an eye on each animal and care for your pet like it’s my own.
“We have used Cher a couple times to watch and feed our dog and she has been great to work with. I appreciate that she sent pictures of our dog Max and kept us in the loop of how he is doing. As long as she is available we will continue to have her help us. Thank you!”
About: I’ve taken care of animals for more than half my life. Which has grown into building my own passion serving animals in many ways. I care for animals locally, will travel up to 50 miles, can provide care inside your home, provide walks, give rides to the vet office or groomer, I can give medications, bathe your animal in your home, and I can provide fun fulfilling adventures and activities! With having a flexible schedule I can focus on providing quality care to your pet/pets. 7 days a week with flexible morning, afternoon and evening hours. I’m able to care for pets inside of your home. Rather this needs to be letting them out into a fenced in yard, walking them off property or on property, taking them out of or putting them into a crate/ kennel. Crate cleanup if needed and dog poo cleanup from your yard each time I have a visit.

The average cost of House Sitting in Willard is $51 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $56 per night.

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 Willard 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 Willard 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 Willard 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
