Hayley was great with my 3 dogs! She sent photos and communicated daily, which is great for peace of mind while im traveling. She watered my veggie garden as well, which was much appreciated! And I came back to a clean house! I will definitely be using her again in the future and recommend her to others!

Brian sent messages with pictures each day to let me know how my labradoodle Pio was doing. Brian took excellent care of Pio and gave him pets and play as well as the required bathroom walks.

Alekx has stayed with our puppy twice now and was amazing! Very patient with puppy energy. We also came home to a pup who had been taught a few new skills and Alekx even gave our pup many hand me down toys from her own dog, some of which are our pups new favorites! Our dog hasn’t been alone yet, and Alekx was great about staying with her and even took her out to a park.

Meredith was great staying with my cat and housesitting for 3 nights! I got regular updates, both pics and video, and I could tell she liked hanging out with him, which was nice. Came home to a clean house. Would definitely (and hope to!) book her again.

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!

Jake was a great pet sitter! He answered all my questions and was very patient with Yogi. He sent me pictures of Yogi while he was with him and even took him on two very long walks in addition to playing with him in our home. In fact, when he left, Yogi was whining and missing his new friend. I would definitely recommend him and his services and will book him in the future.

Brandon was wonderful house sitting with Maddie. He was friendly and sweet with Maddie. He followed my instructions for Maddie very well and sent plenty of updates with pictures. He was respectful of my home and belongings and responsive to texts. Maddie seemed to be well cared for after spending time with Maddie in my home. I would definitely invite Brandon to house sit or care for Maddie in the future!

We had an amazing experience with Caitlin! She stayed at our home for five nights to care for our two dogs, and everything went perfectly. The dogs were happy, well cared for, and clearly loved the extra attention. The house was spotless when we got back, just as we left it. Caitlin was reliable, communicative, and gave us great peace of mind while we were away. We would absolutely recommend her and hope to have her sit for us again in the future!

Cameron was amazing. My dog is very nervous and doesn't open up to anyone new, not even sitters I've had for years. As is her usual, I told Cameron she likely wouldn't even come out of her crate for him, but I got pictures of her playing tug, getting belly rubs, and lying by his side. I was astonished. Cameron checked in regularly and sent tons of pictures and videos. Highly recommended.

Mardi did an incredible job taking care of our cats and home while we were away for a week! She followed our instructions perfectly, sent regular updates and photos, and left our house in even better condition than when she arrived. I’m usually a little anxious about leaving the cats when we travel, but I was able to relax and enjoy our trip knowing everything was safe in her hands. I will absolutely book her again the next time we need a cat sitter!

Alexander was a terrific dogsitter for our high-energy 3-1/2 year old Black Lab. We appreciated his immediate response to our Rover request when we were called out of town on short notice. He set our minds at ease as we could see how quickly Zoey took to him. Alexander posted photos and videos for us while we were away, which was such a comfort. We will definitely plan to ask for him again!

If I could leave more than 5 stars, I would. I was super stressed about leaving our puppy here while on vacation, and she made it absolutely painless, anxiety free, and more. We received so many pictures and videos and there was constant communication. We came home to a clean house, a happy puppy, and she even helped us with puppyifying our place so she doesn’t get into things she’s not supposed to. Brittney will be our go to from now on.

About: I have 5 cats of my own as well as a small dog, and I cherish all animals. I have been petsitting for family and friends since I was about 10, and am flexibly available to take care of your babies when you need. I'm a high-school senior about to graduate, so during the summer I will have plenty of free time to devote to taking care of your animals! I will do anything requested of me regarding caring for your pets in your home, including keeping them company, going on walks, and giving them plenty of love.

Hayley was absolutely amazing and I couldn't have been more happy with her caring for my dogs ! This was the first time that I had anyone stay in my home and care for my dogs. Mia and Dot were in great hands while I was gone and I couldn't have asked for a better sitter. Thank you Hayley !!

FAQs for House Sitting - Willardville

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Willardville on Rover is $38.85 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 2,681 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Willardville. 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 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 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 Willardville. 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.
