About: I have taken care of pets for nearly 10 years. From Dogs to cat to even birds. I’m the person that will walk your dog in the snow and enjoy it. I am also the person that will play with your cat for an hour straight. Pets are family and that’s how they deserve to be treated. I’m currently a bartender and big time traveler. I’m looking to make extra cash on weekends by doing what I love which is taking care of your little furry ones. I have fenced in yard for my dogs as well as indoor cats. My pets eat twice a day on a cautious diet due to them being elderly. I walk my dogs everyday if I can and play with my cat every single day as he is old but he’s very playful.

Brittney was great. My normally shy cats instantly took a liking to her, and she took great care of them while I was out of town. Would definitely hire her again.

Respectful and Professional, got along great with my precious creature. Followed instructions perfectly, and reached out when needed. Could stand to be more assertive w/ dogs sometimes, but still a great sitter. 10/10 would book again :)

About: Hi! Thanks for stopping by my page :) Animals have always held a special place in my heart. Growing up I had two cats and even a fire-bellied toad! They gave me wonderful childhood memories while teaching me the value of responsibility and compassionate care. As I got older, friends and neighbors began asking me to care for their pets, and I was always happy to help. Looking after animals-big or small-has brought me so much joy. I’ve had the privilege of pet sitting dogs of all sizes, cats, and a guinea pig. I also have experience caring for senior dogs and cats as well as a kitten, and I understand that every pet has their own unique personality and needs. My goal is to provide your pet with the same love, attention, and care they receive at home while giving you peace of mind that they’re in responsible hands. Whether your pet loves cuddles, playtime, long walks or simply having a calm companion nearby, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and are well cared for while you’re away. I’m also willing to send pictures with updates on your pets for extra peace of mind. My schedule is pretty open right now so I’m very flexible and happy to stop by when you need. Just let me know what works best for you and I’ll do my best to accommodate with your schedule! When dropping in, I’m happy to stick to their daily routines and what makes them comfortable. I will always keep them leashed for walks and when going outdoors (unless the yard is fenced).

Christina was absolutely amazing! She made the time to come meet my dog prior to the drop in and she listened to all of my care details and was very thorough and enthusiastic! She sent a great note after the drop in and made sure to take photos for me so I could see he was doing well! Will be using her regularly!!!

About: In Kindergarten, my family got our first puppy. Her name was Daisy and she is my guardian angel. We grew up together, we played together, I learned the responsibilities, better yet I discovered my natural connection with animals. I nurtured her when we were scared of storms and picked her up going upstairs during her senior years. Years later our family got another puppy named Mowgli and he is my pal. Raising him was a different task and experience but he turned out to be a great partner. We run, fetch, catch and of course clean and bathe often. I have dog sit and walked for neighbors and family. It would be amazing to get to know your pup! Currently working part time so very flexible. Hoping to have more time to assist in pet needs and get to know some new furry friends. Backyard has a fence and house has a few floors to play. If preferred or allowed, sure don’t mind pets in the bed or couch.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 11 years old whether that be my own or someone elses, and I’ve had a passion for training and raising service dogs as well. I plan to do so through multiple programs in college. The nights on weekends could be a little difficult as I work another job however anytime during the week I will more likely than not be overjoyed to take care of your special boy/girl. I always make sure the dogs are more comfortable than I am. It’s their home, they are always fed, walked, and cared for as if they were humans.

About: I have grown up with animals my entire life. I love all animals. Cats and dogs are my favorite. But I have also dealt with sugar gliders as well. I love to cuddle and play with the dogs and cats. I do the feeding to the cleaning up after being feed. Letting the dogs out to go potty to the litter box cleaning. If you are looking for someone that loves animals I am the girl you are looking for. I am very reliable and trustworthy with your furry family member. I love animals and wish one day to possible have a shelter of my own to help all animals I need of help. If you need someone to help with baths I can do that too. I can do drop in after 6am -11am and then I can go back after 4pm till 9pm ! I work at ups in the early morning then take care of kids during the mid afternoon into early evening. I currently accept house sitting clients and or drop in visits. I am happy to complete any chores that are needed while you are away.

About: Hello! My name is Maria and I am very excited to meet your furry friend! I’ve raised 2 large dogs and 2 small dogs so I am comfortable with any size pet. I also worked at a doggie day care center where I worked with all size dogs for 8 plus hours at a time and facilitated friendly play so I am able to handle multiple dogs or cats at a time! I live in the mentor area but am willing to travel as well. Please let me know if this is the type of sitter you are looking for! I work as a nurse so my schedule is pretty flexible. I care for my own pets with walks, park visits, swimming, agility and lots of playing. I am always cautious when taking care of pets in my home or another persons home. I understand that allowing someone into your home can be nerve racking so I am always sure to communicate as much as I can with home owners and follow their specific instructions to ensure the visit goes as smooth as possible.

Christy did an amazing job! The dogs love her and she is so gentle and kind. I texted her asking if she could drop in a few hours early one day because our schedule changed. She immediately responded and dropped in on our dogs within minutes. We were feeding one of our dogs chicken and rice and we ran out and she offered to bring some on her next drop in! We couldn't ask for better service and care! We will book her again!

About: Hello! My name is Natalie. I have a history with walking, playing, and grooming my friends dogs when nobody is able to. Also if you would like I can take your dog on hikes or anywhere you feel is best for your dog. I am willing to put all of my love to your dog and treat him/her like my own pup. I currently do not work a regular 9-5 job due to newly moving to the area so I have an open schedule! I am willing to work around your schedule. I currently have a high maintenance puppy of my own at home right now. He gets treated like a prince and that’s how I will treat your dog no matter if it’s just a walk or it’s pet sitting for you.

About: Genuinely love spending time with animals of all personalities and energy levels. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to care for their dogs and cats for walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship. A teacher on summer break! Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine, allowing me to provide attention, exercise, and companionship. I make time for walks, feeding schedules, playtime, potty breaks, and any special care instructions. I prioritize reliability and have some wiggle room in my schedule when needed to ensure pets receive what they need. My top priority is making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I carefully follow each owner's instructions regarding feeding, exercise, medications, routines, and household rules. In a client's home, I strive to maintain the pet's normal routine to reduce stress and help them feel secure. I pay close attention during walks, monitor pets for any signs of discomfort or illness, and ensure they always have access to fresh water, a clean environment, and plenty of affection. I treat every pet as if they were my own and work to build trust with both pets and their owners.

About: Available for both walks and drop-in visits; early morning or after 3-4. I have a very sweet dog of my own (his name is Cooper and he gets along very well with other dogs, if your dog ever likes playing/walking with other dogs). He is full of energy, so I am used to long walks and lots of play time. I am also willing to run with your dog if you want / if they enjoy that! I have experience with puppies, special needs dogs, and older dogs. Feel free to leave special instructions so that your pup gets the best care possible. If you have any other questions, please do not hesitate to reach out and ask me! I’m happy to help however I can.

About: I very much enjoy engaging with and taking care of all types of animals and I have owned and cared for animals since childhood. I have the most experience with cats and dogs but have owned and looked after a range of other pets as well. I can provide the appropriate level of care and attention to your pets that you are looking for and am more than happy to provide as many photos or updates for you to feel good about being away. From puppies to elderly pets I have cared for all ages and types of pets! My goal is to get as many regular clients as possible, so I am very open to working through rates that work for both sides for ongoing or regular services. I have a large SUV so i can also do drop off and pickup if that would be helpful. Because I work from home full-time, I'm able to offer a level of flexibility. I can usually accommodate early mornings, evenings, last-minute requests, and everything in between — just ask! Punctuality and reliability are something I take seriously, so you can always count on me to be there when I say I will. My home is welcoming for all animals and there is an acre and a half in the back with plenty of room to play. I am active and engaged with animals and will make sure any routine or special care requirements are followed.

About: I love the clients I get to work with as a pet sitter. I love providing stress free and reliable pet care for people when they need the help. It's a big deal to let someone into your home and trust them with the care of your pets. I understand the responsibility and don't take it lightly. I am experienced with puppies and dogs, cats and farm animals, special needs, reactive and senior dogs. I treat others' pets as if they were my own. It brings me a lot of joy to make your pet feel loved, happy and safe. I'm comfortable crating, walking, giving medicine and other special needs. There's nothing I won't do for your pet - its a very important member of your family! I can provide any additional references upon request! Pet sitting fits into my routine perfectly because I work remotely, so I have the flexibility to be with your animal/s as much or as little as you prefer! I care for my clients pets based on their requests, preferences and routines. I am comfortable walking, crating, giving commands, and following each person's instructions for how they want their animals to be cared for.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Willoughby on Rover is $15.54 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog 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 Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 1,913 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Willoughby. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Willoughby stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

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 Willoughby 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!

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 .

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Willoughby with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Willoughby. On Rover:

  • 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 98% 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.

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.
