“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.”
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.
“Robert was great with our elderly dog who is both a picky eater and refuser of his medications. He was very patient, sending us frequent updates and we felt very comfortable that he would be able to handle any unforeseen issues. Robert has a calming energy, and our dog was definitely beginning to warm up to him after a few days together. We look forward to booking with Robert again soon :)”
“Mackenzie was amazing with my beagles. My Lily is t friendly with most people and she immediately warmed up to Mackenzie. My home was in perfect condition and my babies were obviously lives and well taken care of for the 3 days I was away. Definitely rebooking her!”
“What a wonderful experience we had with Susan. I feel grateful to have found her! I don't have kids, I have pets :) So when our friends who run a pet sitting business was full during our week long vacation, I was weary of having someone I didn't know house sit and pet sit for us. When I met Susan, I was instantly relieved. She is a kind, connective person. She took great care of our home and our two dogs and kitty. She is an Amazing musician and played my piano in a way that brought me to tears... She is good people, and I trust her for future house/pet sits. Highly Recommend!”
“Jordan was a total delight. She is very warm, caring, and trustworthy. She took care of my two cats for five overnight stays. My cats are very shy but warmed up to her quickly. Jordan sent cute photos of them daily. She also took care of my house and left it spotless. I highly recommend Jordan and will definitely ask her take care of my cats and home again. Thank you, Jordan!”
“Ilina was great with our dog that has separation anxiety. For seven days, she stayed with her day and night and was quick to respond when we checked in with her. She even washed the linens she used during her stay. I would highly recommend her to take care of your pets!”
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: I’ve been a dog lover, owner and house sitter for 12 years. Your home and pets will always have my full attention, love and respect! I consider myself very fortunate to run my own small business and have the flexibility to work from my laptop. Furry friends and warm homes are an ideal environment for me to lightly work, and making sure your pets and home are loved, and safe while you are away. I treat pets and clients homes as if they were my own. Being a bit OCD, I pride myself in my ability to give animals the attention they need, and leaving clients homes in better conditions than I found them in!
“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 always felt drawn to animals, even as a toddler, and I’m grateful they have always been in my life one way or another. I grew up surrounded by dogs, cats, parrots, bunnies and I’m 200% comfortable around all types of animals, including yours! Most of my happiest memories of a child include being around dogs and I have continued to be involved in their care in professional as well as volunteer-based ways. I consistently donate my time to rescues by fostering them, setting up adoption events and volunteering at shelters. I’m also the kind of person who will stop to say hello to a dog walking past me in the street. I adopted my own five-year old rescue, Pippin, who LOVES other pups and is happy to keep them company with me when boarding a dog in our home. I’m an active individual…exercise is very important to me—both for myself and Pippin, and I am a great match for high-energy dogs. At a bare minimum (unless otherwise specified by the owner), I make sure we walk for at least an hour and if your pup needs more exercise, I am more than capable of exercising for multiple hours! I go above and beyond with communication by sending regular photo, video and text updates in real time so you know your pup is healthy, happy and secure when in my care. I also make sure I understand your pup’s usual schedule and then do my best to stick to their regular feeding times, activity times (and level) and play their favorite games. Does your pup like hiking? Great, because I do too! In short, I get to know my clients’ dogs’ favorite things to do and then make sure our time together is a healthy mix of the activities they enjoy. It can be difficult for a pup to trust a new person right off the bat so I take the time to earn their trust through belly rubs, ear scratches, cuddles and healthy treats. I have over two decades of experience caring for all types of breeds, temperaments and sizes, and I do whatever it takes to understand their quirks and then tailor my care to their specific needs. I work as a freelance copywriter but besides that my schedule is wide open for pet care during the evenings and on weekends. I have a student mindset and am always interested in learning as much as I can to provide your pup with the best care possible. Send me a message, I can’t wait to meet you!
About: I grew up in a home that adopted cats & dogs and was the prime caregiver since animal's lives and happiness are close my heart. I believe in SPOILING them, not giving them all of the treats, but in giving them tons of attention and activity. Zonking them out at night so they have the best night's sleep. I love all dogs, tiny to giants and long-haired too. I laugh at zoomies. My animal voice disarms them quickly so even the most nervous cats or dogs warm up to me in time. I respect boundaries and listen/watch body language so that neither of us are uncomfortable. I love to go on walks with them, letting them smell every flower along the way. I love playing tug of war or chasing each other or throwing a ball for hours. They are such special little beings and deserve the best care. With me, they would be loved on, scratched, belly rubbed, or brushed to their delight! I work from home and set my schedule. So, I would be available to watch your furbabies during the times that you need, overnights, or just daily drop-bys. All I need is wifi and if it's the summer, AC. I am happy to bring any cat-friendly dogs into my home. Both of my cats LOVE dogs. But your furbabies would have to have up-to-date vaccinations to do so. I'm happy to have them here. If they like walks, I go on one daily for about an hour. If I need to, I can split that walk in two, no worries. Spending time with them at a dog park. Throwing the ball or playing outside with their favorite toy is also something that I would enjoy doing. I am happy to find what each furbaby needs and to meet it. I love getting to know animals and their specific qualities/likes/dislikes and meeting their needs and having fun. The whole idea to me is that if their humans are out of town. having fun, they should have an equal amount of fun too!
About: I have had pets my entire life. Including both cats and dogs. I love all furbabies and will take care of your pets as if they were my own. I currently don't have any interferences in my schedule that will prevent me from caring for your pets. When working I work five days a week from 9am to 5pm. I am able to care for your pets however needed. If they need a walk, to be let out, or a medication I can care for them in anyway necessary.
“An absolute godsend - at the last minute we needed a pet sitter in our house and she said yes! The minute she walked in our normally growling grumpy little girl Doxie rolled over and let her rub her belly and we knew we could go to our event with no worries. When Andrea left, that same grumpy little dog followed her, barking and wagging her tail and offering her toy. Both dogs loved her so much. We are very happy and can’t wait to have her back.”
About: I’ve cared for all types of pets—cats, dogs, birds, fish, and even a chameleon! I love animals and currently own multiple pets, giving me hands-on experience with different personalities and needs. I provide attentive, reliable care for both young and senior animals. I can provide morning care, and depending on your needs, afternoon, late-night, or overnight stays. I’m flexible and prioritize keeping pets comfortable and on their routine! I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment for pets, whether in my home or yours. I care for cats, dogs, fish, and even a chameleon, following all instructions and supervising play to ensure every pet feels comfortable, loved, and secure. Fun fact! I also volunteer once or twice a week at pet smart with the cats and feed them and take care of them for an hour!

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.
<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 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!

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 .

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.
