“Having never used a pet sitter for our 3 cats we didn’t know what to expect. After chatting with Stephanie, our minds were set at ease. She did wonderfully with our 3, one of whom needs daily medication. She sent daily updates and pictures. If we need a pet sitter again she would definitely be our first choice!”

About: I’ve been a dog lover my entire life and have had the pleasure of raising and personally training three wonderful dogs. Most recently, I said goodbye to my beloved Springer Spaniel after 16 amazing years together, so I understand just how much our dogs mean to us. They’re not just pets — they’re family! I’m an active, outdoors-loving person who genuinely enjoys spending time with dogs. Whether it’s a leisurely neighborhood walk, a long hike through the woods, a run for a more energetic companion, or simply relaxing at home, I’m happiest with a four-legged friend by my side. Having cared for dogs throughout their lives, from energetic youngsters to senior companions, I understand that every dog has its own personality, needs, and routines. I’m patient, attentive, confident handling dogs, and a big believer in positive reinforcement, consistency, and plenty of affection. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your dog. My goal is to give every dog the same love, attention, exercise, and care I’ve always given my own — while making sure you have complete peace of mind while they’re with me. I currently have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I’m available throughout the week and on weekends for boarding, walks, and drop-in visits. I love being outdoors and staying active, so daily walks, playtime, and exercise are already a natural part of my routine. Whether your dog enjoys a relaxed stroll, a long hike, or an energetic run, I’m happy to tailor our activities to their needs. Your dog won’t just be another booking — they’ll have a dedicated companion who genuinely enjoys spending time with them! Having raised and personally trained three dogs, including my beloved Springer Spaniel who lived to 16, I understand how important it is to know your pet is safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I treat every dog as if they were my own, providing a calm, caring environment with plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and companionship. I’ll always follow your dog’s normal feeding schedule, walking routine, and any specific instructions to help them feel secure and settled. I’m experienced with dogs of different ages, personalities, and energy levels, from playful puppies to seniors who need a gentler pace. Safety is always my priority, whether we’re relaxing at home, exploring the neighborhood, or enjoying the outdoors. I’ll also provide regular photos and updates so you can relax knowing your four-legged family member is happy and well cared for.
About: I've owned animals my entire life, every size and age of dogs, cats, and exotics. I currently live with my mini husky Luci, and my three guinea pigs Skye, Raze, and Sage. I am currently a free-lance caretaker for both children and animals, meaning my schedule is completely flexible and will be predictable enough to quickly schedule tasks. My time will be dedicated to the tasks of the day or week completely. I cannot board due to the fragile bond between my mini husky and my guinea pigs living together, unfortunately other animals of either kind may be a danger to this dynamic. I have my own transportation to drop in anywhere, however.
About: I have many years of pet sitting experience. I've worked for a few pet sitting services around Baltimore. I volunteered at an animal shelter in Denver walking the dogs. I have always had pets of my own. I also have years of house sitting and child care experience. I am a very laid back person and your pet will feel at ease with me. I treat my pets as if they are little people. I talk to them and cuddle with them. I will treat your furry friends as if they were my own. I am mature, responsible and professional. I am available for daily visits or overnight stays. I can also board them at my place. I do not currently have any pets of my own. I work full time M-F in the office but have some flexibility to work from home. I will be sure to give your pet the attention required to make them happy. Upon taking on a new client, I make sure I am aware of any situations that may become an issue. I currently have a client whose dogs need to be separated during the day while they are alone. While I am at the house, I watch out for any signs between these dogs that there may be any problems with their behavior towards each other.

Stephanie was amazing. This was my first time using a service like this and she made the process incredibly easy. She was accommodating and professionally communicative from start to finish. We received detailed updates every visit and felt completely at ease with her caring for our pet. Most importantly, our dog Oliver took to her quickly and loved getting to meet a kind new friend. Thank you, Stephanie!
Damien took excellent care of my kitties while I was away. He was thorough, followed all of my care instructions, and sent detailed updates with plenty of photos, which gave me real peace of mind. He was respectful of my home, professional, and a pleasure to work with. My senior kitty absolutely loved him, and he took wonderful care of her as well. I wouldn't hesitate to book with him again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Willoughby Woods is $18 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $18 per visit. 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 long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 3,738 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Willoughby Woods. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 Woods. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 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.
