“Allison is everyone's ideal dog sitter. She's responsive, updates you regularly, and clearly loves and takes care of your pet the same way you do. Would highly recommend, and plan to be rebooking her in the future!”
“Katrin was absolutely great with Daisy! We felt so much better knowing Daisy was being cared for, and we felt very lucky to have her watching Daisy in our home. Especially with Daisy still being a puppy, we didn’t want to move her around, so having someone stay with her made a huge difference. Katrin was wonderful about sharing updates and videos throughout the stay, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. Daisy loved playing with her and was genuinely sad to see her go. We would highly recommend Katrin to anyone looking for a caring, reliable pet sitter!”
“Ana is the BEST! Super responsive and sends photos throughout her stay. The weekend was a breeze knowing our dog was in such great hands. Would absolutely have her sit for us in the future!”
“Cameron is a gem and honestly we’ve never had a sitter care for our old lady like he did. He kept up updated with pictures and constant communication over the weekend with how she was doing. Our dog is elderly and has some sleep issues and he was just so patient and kind with her needs. We truly appreciated him and knew she was in good and safe hands. He’s our go to person now!”

I’m currently working on full-time with weekends and some holidays open. I used to travel frequently and understand last minute needs for the fur babies, I’m happy to accommodate as many as possible. Every dog has different needs (and wants) enrichment is key at my home. Playtime, nap time, or bed time. My dogs have structure and are well behaved.
“Molly was a great dog sitter! We were lucky we found her on Rover! She was very flexible with schedule and with some complications on our end. We will definitely use her again to help take care of our pup!”
“Paris was very responsive to my questions, comments, and requests. I appreciated the care she gave my dogs. They are pretty independent but having someone there to keep them company and watch the house while I am gone gives me peace of mind while I am traveling.”
“Daniel came and met with my dogs the day before. He seemed to have a good way around pets. Unfortunately, I had to cancel the day of but he was extremely gracious and understanding and provided a refund after rescheduling attempts failed.”
About: I’ve taken care of neighborhood and family friends’ dogs for 7+ years. I have walked, house sat, and stayed overnight. I am experienced with all dogs! I will be attending graduate school in the area and have a very flexible schedule. I can walk or house sit most afternoons, Fridays, and weekends! I am available to walk dogs at any trail or in neighborhoods close to you or where I live. I am available to feed, crate, or any other service as well.
About: I am currently in Law School, and I am pet-sitting to save for the NCBar exam costs. I have been pet-sitting since high school, and I grew up around dogs. My love for animals shows in the care I provide, and I'll make sure your cat/dog/other pet stays safe, comfortable, and well-fed. Here are a few fun facts about me: 1) I have two dogs back at my family home - a Yorkie and a Yorkiepoo (the Yorkie, named Sam, is 18 years old!!). 2) I volunteered at a Local Bunny Farm in Chapel Hill for three years during undergrad. 3) I bring my dogs from back home up to my apartment on occasion, and dog-watch for my law school friends! I am currently in law-school, and my classes occur during the morning and afternoon. However, my couse load is light, so I will be able to spend a good amount of time with your pup (or other pet!) inbetween and after classes! I will keep you updated via text or phone, everytime I enter your home, take ur pet outside, and feed them. I will also make sure to secure your home before leaving!
About: My name is Robb and I’m a Little Person who’s recently graduated California Vocational College and discovered a greater passion for pets of all sorts. I’ve had plenty of my own across different species in the past. Currently I I on 2 cats (boys) Tank and Sully. Recently I decided I’d begin by volunteering at my local animal shelter to accompany the animals in need. This is where I’d like to say that I hope I have encouraged you to reach out to me, Robb, to sit and walk to precious pets while you’re busy doing what you do. It’d be my pleasure. Thank you Pet care is something I’m happy to make a priority in my daily routine. I can plan my schedule around visits to ensure cats receive their meals on time, fresh water, clean litter boxes, playtime, and plenty of attention. I’m dependable, patient, and attentive to each pet’s needs, and I understand the importance of keeping their routine consistent while their owners are away. I’ll always do my best to provide loving, reliable care and keep you updated with messages and photos. I provide loving, attentive care for pets in their own homes, where they feel most comfortable and secure. I follow each pet’s usual routine, including feeding, providing fresh water, cleaning litter boxes, playtime, and giving them plenty of love and attention. I respect each cat’s unique personality and needs, whether they enjoy cuddles and play or prefer a little space. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they can feel confident their furry friends are happy and well cared for while they’re away.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Willardville
Hayley did such an amazing job with our dog Bernard who can be a little anxious sometimes. She was so sweet to him, and he really warmed up to her quickly. She was very responsive with texts and sent lots of pictures which made our long time away from him so much better. When our flight home got canceled, she immediately offered to change her schedule and stay with him for an extra night and day which we greatly appreciated. She left our home clean and took good care of it as well. She’s fantastic, and we would definitely book her again in the future!

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 Willardville 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 Willardville 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 Willardville 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.
