“I have booked with Ashley multiple times now. Having her as my go to dog sitter has been so amazing. I know when I am out of town everything is being very well taken care of. She is so amazing with my dog and sends the cutest pictures. I am so lucky I have her to be with Oliver while I am gone.”
“Caroline was great!! She took excellent care of my dogs! This was my first time with the house sitting service and I’m so glad it was with Caroline! She was great to communicate and send pics and my pups had a great time with her!!”
About: I have experience with various different types of animals including cats, and dogs. I love how special and unique each animal is and I love to get to know them and getting to know their personalities. I am working full time and going to school I typically don't work mornings and a couple days during the week I am off and I can stop by and check on them throughout the week. I do anything and everything I can do to take the best care of them, and I always make their health top priority. And treat them like royalty and babies
“Brittany did a fantastic job at keeping us informed about our fur babies day and sent pictures. The dogs seemed very happy and content. We will definitely be having Brittany back to help with the dogs.”
“Xion was amazing! They went above and beyond in home sitting our dog over our Thanksgiving vacation. From near-daily text and photo updates, to even shoveling snow from our driveway and sidewalk, they really took care of everything and more. So grateful and would absolutely book again!”
“Very nice young lady, dependable, on time and flexible enough to accomodate last minute. Biscuit loved playing with her and going for a walk! We are looking forward to having her again.”
“Very professional and polite and has as a wonderful way with dogs! Great communication on letting me know what was going on while we were away. Will definitely request Heidi again.”
“Dogs were well cared for and seemed happier and healthier than they were when I left. It was easy to get in touch, and we were regularly updated about about the the dogs.”
About: I have been in love with animals all of my life. I've cared for and owned cats, dogs, rodents, bearded dragons. I love them all. My hours are fairly flexible. Weekends are open to stayovers, if needed. I can day sit dogs outside at my home but not inside, unfortunately. I am open to whatever your pet's needs are. Walks, feeding, medication, cleanup. I don't mind multiple pets. I'll do multiple visits depending on proximity.
“Jayda and Echo were amazing dog sitters. They took great care of both our vizslas. Both our dogs have very different personalities and they were great with them! The house was left clean and the dogs were tired. They sent pictures throughout the day. We were so grateful we could leave the dogs without any worries!”
“This gal hit a home run caring for my pup. I didn’t worry a single minute with Bailey by my fur baby’s side! She walked her daily before the temps were too hot and tended to her every need. I appreciated the photo updates as well! Bailey is an ALLSTAR!”
“Maddison was amazing! She was super flexible on a last minute trip and made the accommodations needed. I even had run out of some food & she was kind enough to go pick some up for me. She was great with my farm - dogs, cats, livestock & I highly recommend her! She is super thorough & asks for further information in case of emergencies. She also is a vet tech which made me feel a lot more comfortable leaving my animals in her hands. Will be rebooking!”
About: I have had animals all my life ranging from dogs and cats to lizards, bunnies, and snakes. I have also worked in the petcare industry professionally as well for 7 years doing grooming, training, and vet tech work. Im available for long term care or even short daily visits whichever your schedule requires. I live on a 1/3 acre property with a large back yard as well as private space in my house for pets that prefer to be alone. I can provide home visits/walks, or I can do at home boarding. I have a large backyard that is fully privacy fenced, as well as a private space in my house that we use just for animals
About: I love dogs so much! I had my own dog named Chello for 8 years before he passed away. He was a shih tzu. I would love to help others take care of their dogs. I am a musician part time and a receptionist part time tuesdays and Thursday’s. That means I’m home most days of the week! Your pet would always have someone to keep it company. I have a fenced yard which is great for dogs. It is also pretty big with lots of room to run around and play in!
“Jada was amazing house sitting to take care of our pup blue! He needs special medicine in his food and needs a few more potty times than most and we came home to a happy guy! Thank you Jada!”
“Tamilyn has been the most caring and kind pet sitter we’ve ever had! She took exceptional care of our very large dog, our 3 needy kitties, and our home. She is super communicative and we’ll definitely have her sit for us again!”

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.
<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 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 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.
