“Suzanne was wonderful! My pooches can be a little overwhelming & act a little scared. The female immediately loved her & the male warmed up quicker than he does with most. She was very courteous & professional. Her response time to messages was amazing. We will definitely be using her again!”
“Melanie was very responsive, kind and professional! She took great care of your two pups while we were out of town. Easy to coordinate with and look forward to working with her in the future!”
“I hadn't had to use Rover for cat-sitting since 2022 so I was thrilled to see that Katelyn was still on Rover and she was available. This saved me from starting over with someone new. Katelyn is reliable, efficient and spends time with our cat who does not like to be left alone. Thank you again Katelyn.”
“I booked Martin to check in on my 12 year old dog while I was away for 3 days. He did a great job and made sure to send photos during each visit. Thank you Marty!!”
“Matt was fantastic! He communicated with us, sent pictures and was flexible to add an extra visit the day we came home when our plans changed! Highly recommend him for anyone who needs dog/cat sitter!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 14 and also have lived with them my entire life(I have 3). I’ve trained, fed, and bathed dogs. I am available during the week I’m better during the days. Also weekends I can do all day. We can talk through times I have a flexible schedule. I take care of pets in their own home. I am use to a leash training as well as fenced in yards. I am unable to provide a place to take care of others pets.
“Annalise was great. Upon first meeting, our cat, Sedona took to Annalise immediately. Annalise provided daily updates on how Sedona ate, how playful she was, and other aspects of her drop-in visit. She also sent daily photos. We would highly recommend Annalise and will use her again.”
“Anthony is fantastic, brings treats, toys and a ton of love for your animals. He even made smalll adjustments, of course letting us know first, to ensure if there was poor weather that day he timed it within a window so he could let our pups out without it pouring rain. Absolutely will use him in the future and I am certain our dogs loved their time with him.”
“Everything went super smoothly! I would highly recommend Celine, she took the time to ask questions and get to know our pups and was very helpful. Looking forward to booking her again!”
“I have two cats, one being diabetic and Katie was able to help me last minute when my sitter fell through. She sent me multiple updates and took care of everything I needed! Would definitely recommend Katie again!”
About: I have experience with puppies and seniors alike. For the past 5 years I have been responsible for neighbors houses and their pets as well! I work part time at a restaurant about 5 minutes from my house. I have time during the week and weekends after 2 pm on days that I work, as well as 3-4 days a week that are entirely open. I have two dogs of my own who behave well in our unfenced yard but we have two leads as well. They have a regular meal schedule and get all kinds of love and attention between my mom and sister and me. In a clients home I will treat the dogs as the owner would best advise, I would love to be able to be with the animal if needed.
About: I have 3 dogs that I live with in different sizes. They all have different personalities and needs. I am comfortable with all kinds of dogs, big or small. I’m currently working part time so I have a lot of free time to walk and take care of your pets! Looking forward to it! I have a big backyard with lots of space and lots of treats and toys for the puppies. They will have the best time ever.
“Reese was very accommodating and able to squeeze us in last minute on a holiday weekend. She was great with communicating and sending pictures and were very happy with how well our two Rotties were taken care of!”
“Paula is my go-to for a while now and am so happy to have found her! I have had to run out of town a couple times now on short notice for sudden family matters and with Paula, the dogs are the one thing I don't have to stress about! I know they are taken care of and happy pups! She has bailed me out a couple of times now and I can't thank her enough! She even left me and the dogs a Christmas card the last time... so thoughtful of her! If you need someone for an upcoming weekend, I highly recommend her!”
About: I was a dog walker and sitter for several years after college, now that I work full-time from home, I really miss it! I've been certified for pet CPR, and I'm familiar with basic training techniques.. I loooove doggos, so if you need some help, reach out! I work from home full-time, so I'm available for walks whenever necessary. I can work around your dog's walking and feeding schedule. I have a fenced in yard and no pets of my own at the moment. A sliding door leads directly onto the yard so your dog will never be unsupervised.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet 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 Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 1,976 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.
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.
