About: I’ve always enjoyed being around dogs and understand how important it is to have someone reliable caring for your pet while you’re away. I’m responsible, patient, attentive, and comfortable following feeding, walking, playtime, and daily care instructions. I’ll treat your dog with care and respect, keep you updated, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable while they’re with me. I work from home, so my schedule is very flexible and allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m available for walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, and companionship, and I can follow your dog’s normal routine as closely as possible. I live in a comfortable apartment with a good-sized patio and access to a dog park inside my apartment community for walks, exercise, and playtime. I also have a very friendly and loving Golden Retriever who enjoys having other dogs around. I always supervise pets carefully, follow the owner’s instructions, and make sure each dog feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for.
About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was 8 years old. Friends, coworkers and neighbors have all called me to watch their pets and walk them reliably for years. I work a normal 9-5 job Monday through Friday but have all the time and attention to give your pets walks afterward and remain free on weekends! I have a spacious backyard that is fenced off for play time and potty use with two friendly pets of my own. I can crate your pet if needed.
“Kristin is the best! She took such good care of our puppy while we were out of the country. He also needed medication and handled that with no problems. Highly recommend her and will definitely use Kristin again to watch our dog!”
“Annabella did a great job of taking care of our little pup while we were traveling! She is very responsive and followed all the care instructions for our pup! We would highly recommend her and hope to use her again in the future! :)”
“We have used Megan several times this summer to watch our Golden Retriever puppy. She has stayed at our house for several days at a time twice this summer. Megan is a total dog lover and our boy gets totally spoilt when Megan watches him... She will bring him toys, give him baths, complete with a lavender massage! Also Megan has been available to come take him out for play time during the day when we have had full days and are out of the house and he is left alone. I have no hesitation in recommending Megan to watch your pup or your house. She is a thoughtful houseguest and will also send you pics and video of your beloved family member”
“Colette took fantastic care of our dog! We came home to a happy dog and a spotless house. She sent us pictures of our boy when we were away and he looked very content. We will be booking with Colette again very soon!”

“I couldn't ask for a better housesitter for my Alli. Ryan was kind and gentle with Alli and she got her to come out of the depression Alli goes into when I leave. I would recommend her to anyone.”
“Dorothy was amazing! My dogs were happy while we were gone and we got some pretty incredible photos of our girls. We asked Dorothy to do a little extra and she did. We will definitely be calling Dorothy soon! We cannot recommend her enough!”
About: I have had the pleasure of taking care of and being around pets my entire life! Since I was a child, I’ve cared for dogs, cats, birds, and fishes as well as other large animals! Over the years many friends, family members and neighbors have relied on me to care for their pets. I have over 6 years of experience with all dog breeds. I currently have a two-year-old Yellow Lab who is the sweetest pup I have ever had. She is extremely friendly and loving and is great with other dogs and cats. I currently have a pretty open schedule with my online classes, so I am home most of the time, dogs have access to the backyard at almost all times and are always being watched and monitored for safety. Dogs are taken on walks to nearby parks and around the neighborhood and rides around to the dog park. dogs are fed separately and are fed on a schedule and always have access to lots of fresh water. I have a fenced yard and a pool in the back yard. I am able to crate your dog if needed or per your preference. My lab is always ready to play or nap with your pup and will always keep them company!
About: I love spending time with animals and have experience with both walking and caring for them. I’m gentle, patient, and make sure every furry friend feels safe, happy, and loved.

I treat pets as part of our family. I live near many beautiful trails, perfect for long walks and there is a dog park nearby if they enjoy playing fetch. My home is very clean and tidy so they are welcome to roam and "chill" as they please.
“Logan was amazing! We had a last minute trip over thanksgiving and he had availability. He came over for a meet and greet and our two dogs automatically adored him. While we were gone he kept us up to date on the doggos. But when I really knew we would be using him again was when we returned. First, our dogs cried at the door for 20 minutes after he left. They have never done that for another dog sitter. Second, often when we come back from a trip it takes the dogs a couple days to readjust to our normal routine. Not this time! It was obvious that Logan had followed their daily routine to the letter. He’s professional and caring and I will be using him again! You can trust him with your fur babies!”
“Ashley is a fantastic, trustworthy, and detail-oriented pet sitter who will take excellent care of your home and pets. Moreover, my critters absolutely adored her! I will definitely be rebooking in the future. :)”
“This was our first time booking Eliana, and she was great! She sent us a few updates and photos each day which was perfect, and she left our house clean and tidy. Our dog can be a little tricky to walk and she handled him really well. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend her or hire her again! Thank you Eliana!!! 🙂”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 7 years old. I have experience with all breeds large & small ranging from Pitbulls, German Shepards, chihuahuas & more. I worked as an executive assistant for over 4 years to a family where I took care of a variety of animals, from training puppies to putting on diapers for senior dogs. My responsibilities included everything from feeding, bathing, training, cleaning & much more. I am currently a full-time Pre-Med student working online trying to save money for medical school. I have a class on Monday from 5:30-6:45pm and the rest of the week I am available for dog care. I am very open to anything! Working as an executive assistant for a family with over 10 cats and several dogs, I was responsible for cleaning their litters, picking up after the nets, washing bowls, providing the dogs with their snacks or medicine and changing the diaper of the elderly dog. I am very respectful of the homes of others, especially the ones that I work in. I clean up after myself along with the fur babies and will treat it as if it were my own too with the upmost respect.
“Dan and Haruka Did an amazing job I’m watching our two cocker spaniels over a full weekend staying at our house. Our doggies got along splendidly with them and they were reliable and efficient. Sending us photos each day.”
About: I've had dogs my whole life, usually two at a time, so walking a pair or keeping up with a high-energy pup feels pretty normal to me. In college I watched friends' dogs on the weekends, and honestly I still jump at any excuse to hang out with one. I'm active and spend a lot of my free time outside, so your dog will get real walks and plenty of playtime, plus some downtime when they're ready to crash. Puppies, big dogs, little dogs, they're all welcome. I'm dependable, I pay attention to the small stuff, and I'll send you photos and updates so you're never left wondering how things are going. I work a regular weekday job, so I'm free weekday evenings after 4:30 and pretty much all day on weekends. I'm also happy to squeeze in an early morning walk before work if your pup needs one. Evenings and weekends are when I'm out walking, hitting the park, and just hanging out. I come to you, so your dog gets to stay home with their own bed, their own smells, and their normal routine. I'll stick to your feeding schedule, meds, and house rules exactly, keep them leashed on walks, and lock up every time I leave. I never take on more than two dogs at once, so nobody gets ignored. You'll get photos and a quick update every visit, and if anything ever seems off, I'll reach out right away.
About: I have grown up around animals my entire life and have over 2 years of experience caring for cats and dogs. My experience ranges from caring for high energy foster puppies who require lots of play time and long walks to providing more patient gentle care to calm senior dogs who just want to be in your company. I am extremely reliable, passionate and trustworthy. I currently work full time in the wine industry and am off from work at around 4:00 pm daily. I am free any day of the week for afternoon walks and care! When caring for your pet in their own home, my top priority is maintaining their normal routine to keep them stress free. I follow your instructions carefully and diligently for feeding, watering, walking etc… Each visit includes a walk, potty break and dedicated play time. I also ensure your home remains tidy and secure while you’re away.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Willota
We are so grateful to have found Kristin to house sit/dog sit while we were on a five day trip. During our “Meet and Greet” she asked questions that showed her knowledge of dogs and her respect for their individual needs and personalities. She took such good care of our Bichon, Bodie! She read our notes carefully and followed his daily routine of walks, play, naps and medications, all while giving him plenty of affection and attention. She sent pictures and an overview each day. And…our outdoor potted plants were all in great shape when we got back! Thank you Kristin!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 3,996 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Willota. 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 Willota 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 Willota 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 Willota 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.
