“Rebecca communicated clearly with us throughout the process. Misty fell in love with her! I was worried she’d be crying at the door. Nope, she was asleep on Rebecca’s lap instead. What a relief. We look forward to return visits.”
“We could not have found a better house and pet sitter. Rhondee is the best. Our pups instantly fell in love with her and we enjoyed our time away even more knowing Rhondee was providing the best care possible for our pups and our home. ❤️??”
“I always feel so confident when I know Susan can watch my dog(s). She follows all instructions, keeps the house clean and leaves the dogs calm. I recommend her highly”
About: I've been a pet owner my entire life. From being raised on a dairy farm, to owning a small hobby farm, dogs, cats, chickens, goats, and horses have all been a huge part of my life. Transitioning to a "snowbird," lifestyle, I have more time to spend loving on my own Frenchies and other people's pets as well! I have a lot of experience with dogs that need special attention to diet, allergies, specific schedules etc. Would love to meet you and care for your animals treating them as if they were my own! I'm retired and have a flexible schedule. I'm active with several hobbies but also available most days unless otherwise noted. I exercise a lot so love to walk and play with pets as much as possible. I prefer to care for pets in your own home, keeping it simple for you and your dog to be comfortable in their own environment.
“Renee is a caring and conscientious sitter. My animals loved her and adjusted to her quickly. I found her very prompt, clear and communicative. Definitely will be booking with her again!”
“Tim was great! It was very nice to be able to get away for a few days and not have to worry that Dunkin was well cared for. He sent us pics of Dunkin enjoying a popcorn party. Dunkin loves his popcorn! Tim also let us know if there was anything going on at the house. There was an issue with a drain backing up (not Tim's fault). Tim contacted us and we were able to implement a work-around until we arrived home to fix the problem. Overall, it was a very relaxing mini get away to Orlando.”
“Amazing! 10/10 experience. Holly has a great attitude and seems very well versed in different dog behavior. She was very quick to respond to any of my messages and our 3 pups were super happy and well taken care of.”
About: I've had 2 dogs my whole life. Both which lived over 10 years each. I've also taken care of my daughters 3 labs since they were puppies. I am retired and live in a casita so I can give all my attention to your fur babies. I'm available most of the time since I'm retired. I love walking everyday everywhere . Please feel free to contact me anytime. Monday through Friday are the best days for me. I don't have any dogs so I don't have to worry about that. And your dog will be safe with me in my secured house.
About: Following many years of raising and caring for my own dogs, caring for other people’s pups has become something I truly love. I’m based in Seattle, where I offer boutique style boarding in my home year round. I also spend part of the winter near family in Palm Springs, where I welcome house sitting opportunities and keep my Rover calendar up to date. ENVIRONMENT My home is warm, comfortable, and dog friendly, with cozy blankets and soft pillows so they feel relaxed. I care for no more than two dogs at a time so each dog receives plenty of individual attention, playtime, walks, and, of course, lots of snuggles. I take care to pair easygoing dogs so each one feels safe, comfortable, and at home. **Please note: While I wish I could welcome every dog, I'm unable to accommodate dogs that mark or have indoor accidents. LOCATION I’m conveniently located between Maple Leaf and Green Lake, with beautiful parks and trails nearby for daily walks and outdoor adventures. SEASONAL PALM SPRINGS HOUSE SITTING: During select winter dates, I offer personalized overnight house sitting in Palm Springs. I coordinate travel dates in advance and welcome inquiries from families looking for a caring, dependable person to look after their pets and home. Whether boarding in Seattle or house sitting in Palm Springs, I provide attentive, thoughtful care and do my best to make every pet feel comfortable, loved, and at home. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule and spend a lot of time at home which means your dog will get plenty of attention, walks and breaks during the day. WALKS I tailor each walk to your dog’s energy and personality, whether that means a leisurely sniff filled stroll or a little extra adventure. We also often take fun field trips to fun dog friendly spots.
“Paula was amazing. She did a great job of pet sitting Biscuit at our home. We received regular updates on Biscuit. She was very kind and brought in our mail and packages while we were away. We would love to have her over for house/pet sitting in future.”
“First time using Rover. Extremely pleased with Joseph And his kindness with my guy! Nice not to have him in the kennel! Home where he is comfortable! Definitely will ask for his services again!”
“Johnathan saved our vacation! He’s very prompt and great with our pups. We have an older blind dog and a very energetic puppy who took to him right away. Johnathan sends updates and keeps us informed while we are away. Johnathan is a great communicator as well! Very easy going and friendly.”
“Molly is an incredible sitter! She was able to help out last minute and was very flexible with our ever changing schedule. She is very communicative with photos and sweet messages about the pups. I would recommend Molly to anyone. She left the house very clean too!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities for over 6 years. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to feed, walk, play with, and check in on their pets while they’re away. I’m patient, responsible, and love making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I also have experience with energetic dogs and keeping pets on their regular routines. I have a flexible schedule and make pet care a priority in my daily routine. I’m available for check-ins, walks, feeding, playtime, and overnight care depending on your pet’s needs. I always make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and care while their owners are away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any routines your pet is used to. I make sure pets feel safe, loved, and stress-free in their own environment while keeping owners updated with messages and photos.
About: With 6 years of experience caring for dogs, I understand that every dog has its own personality, routine, and needs. I’m also a proud owner of three dogs, so I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member. I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes and energy levels, including large breeds such as Rottweilers and Rhodesian Ridgebacks, as well as smaller dogs. I’m comfortable managing multiple-dog households, maintaining separate feeding areas to prevent resource guarding, and following medication schedules and special care instructions. I especially enjoy working with active dogs that love walks, outdoor adventures, and playtime. I also understand that senior dogs and smaller breeds may need a slower pace, additional breaks, and individualized attention. My home features a fully fenced property with separate backyard areas, allowing dogs to enjoy supervised outdoor time while providing separation when needed. My priority is always your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness. I treat every dog with patience, affection, and respect for their individual needs, and I strive to give owners peace of mind while they’re away. I currently work as an electrical designer engineer. I also run an Airbnb with my partner and we both do Rover together. I work from home Wednesday through Friday. Saturday and Sunday my schedule is flexible. I have a fully fenced home this includes the front of house as well. The outside of the house has cameras to ensure the property is safe. We also have outdoor lighting. We also have two separate backyards one for our pets and the other for your furry friends.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Willis Palms is $43 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $40 and $46 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

As of November 2026, there are 500 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Willis Palms. 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 Willis Palms 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 Willis Palms 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 Willis Palms 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.

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.
