“We trusted our pup Bentley with a new sitter while we traveling for a few days over Christmas. Kelly was an absolute dream with our Bentley. She kept me apprised of the daily walks and went above and beyond while staying at our home. We plan to book her for any future trips. Thank you Kelly for house/pet sitting for us - The Marchetti’s”
“Lorianne did a wonderful job housesitting and caring for our two labradors. She was punctual and sent us photo updates the whole time. We highly recommend her as we will want her to care for our dogs in the future!”
About: Hi, I’m Nalisha! I’ve been taking care of dogs for as long as I can remember, and I treat every pet with the same love and respect I would my own. I’m a responsible and experienced caregiver, and I’ve even cared for a pregnant dog, so I understand the importance of patience, attention, and gentle care. As a full-time college student, I’m available most days except Sundays. My availability is always updated on my calendar, and if anything changes, I will communicate in advance so you have time to find a replacement. If a booking is made on an unavailable day but a spot opens up, I’ll be happy to take it. When caring for your pet in your home, I’ll ensure they’ve gone to the bathroom, received plenty of attention, and are in a good mood. If any accidents occur, I will notify you and clean them up to prevent further issues that could be unsafe for your pet or household.
“Glen was an excellent dog/house sitter! He kept us updated with messages and photos. Our dogs were happy and well taken care of. We are definitely using him again!”
About: Experienced in formal dog care since I was 15, including rescue, training and boarding. I am comfortable with all types of dogs and working from home allows me to care for your pet as if they were part of my own pack. I work from home Monday - Friday with a flexible schedule and availability to provide a wide variety of services to give your pet the premium care they deserve. I care for pets as if they’re my very own. All incoming animals have free range of furniture, toys, and sleeping in which ever bed they choose.
“Irene got along great iwht my dog Luna and attended to every need. She did a good job keeping me informed while I was gone. I would definitely recommend her for anyone looking for a great person to take care of their dog.”
“Lindsay was delightful. My dogs are not well trained. I admit it. Not proud but love them. She gave me updates daily with pictures. She left the house untouched as if she didn't stay, except for a load of sheets in the wash. The dogs were happy I was happy and anxiety free. Thanks Lindsay!!!!!!”
“Tamara house sat my cat Pip. Tamara and Pip clearly bonded during the five days I was away. My home was left spotless, I received many photos, videos and notes about Pip from Tamara. I highly recommend her and will definitely use her again.”
“Shayla was absolutely fantastic! She was very open and friendly during our meet and greet; was able to tell my dog loved her immediately! I felt comfortable and informed the whole time I was away. Lots of pictures sent to me of my dog was so sweet to receive! I will definitely be booking with Shayla again! Thanks for taking the BEST care of Sasha 💕”
“Samira is just amazing! My fur babies just love her, they even cried when she left. I did not have time to do my dishes before I left and when I came home they were all washed!”
“Rebecca was a delight. She arrived on time and sent many photos of our dog, Kita, during her stay. She frequently updated us on how Kita was doing while we were away and gave Kita lots of play time outside and I inside. Great experience. 10/10 Would book again with her!”
“Kaity and Sebastian were great with my cat and dog last week! We had to go out of town at the last minute and they helped us out by staying at our house and watching our babies. They kept in touch, sending lots of pix the whole time. They followed all instructions and left our house clean and tidy :) will be booking again!”
About: I have raised and cared for dogs my entire life, so anticipating a pup's needs is second nature to me. From managing daily feeding and exercise schedules to administering routines with patience and love, I treat every dog like family. Growing up with dogs means I understand their subtle body language and know how to keep them comfortable, safe, and happy while you’re away As a medical student with a mostly home based schedule, I offer near-constant companionship and flexible care. My campus is just 5 minutes away, and my in person classes top out at only 1 to 2 hours a day. The rest of my time is spent studying right from home, going on daily walks and runs, and relaxing outdoors, meaning your dog gets plenty of attention, frequent potty breaks, and an active, attentive companion all day. I live in a quiet apartment complex with an on-site fenced dog park, which gives pups a safe spot to run around off-leash right near home. Inside, I keep things clean, calm, and dog-proofed, with plenty of room for them to relax while I’m studying. Whether I'm hosting at my place or staying at yours, I take safety seriously and doors stay secured, routines are followed to a T, and I'm super attentive to how a dog is feeling. Plus, you can count on regular photo updates so you know everything is going smoothly.
“Ruth was amazing with our dog and cat. She was prompt and very communicative throughout the visit. Our dog required eye drops and medicine and she was able to administer them with no issues. She also cleaned up after the pets and ensured our sheets were clean and ready for us when we came back home on a late flight. Lastly, she even coaxed our very shy cat out from hiding! We appreciate her professionalism and taking such great care of our pets!”
“Pris stayed in constant contact through caring for our three senior dogs. She was great with them and truly cared for them like they were her own. We'll hire Pris again in a minute when needed. Very easy to work with and nearby so it was easy for all of us.”
“I’m honestly a little apprehensive about writing this review because I’d love to keep Victoria our little secret so she’s always available for my baby! From the moment we met her, it was obvious she genuinely loves animals, and that gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She did everything she said she would do, kept us updated with plenty of photos and videos, and made sure we always knew how our baby was doing. The updates weren’t just routine—they showed how much she truly cared, and it was easy to see that our baby was getting lots of love and attention. Knowing our pet was happy and well cared for made it so much easier to relax while we were gone. If you’re looking for someone dependable, caring, and who treats your pet like family, Victoria is exactly that. We’re incredibly grateful for the amazing care she provided, and while part of me hesitates to recommend her because I want to keep her all to ourselves, she absolutely deserves every bit of praise. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
““Aunt” Claudette and “Uncle” Will were amazing with Bella! Claudette took a chance on us very last minute, and I could not have been happier with the love and care Bella received! They got to know her personality very quickly, and treated her like one of their own! I would not hesitate to book Claudette again and hope future opportunities arise 😊”

Cira is wonderful. The boys love her. She’s very patient with their dachshund ways and she just loves on them. I loved getting all the updates from her. One of the boys was recovering from surgery and she took extra care with a few limitations he has I’m so glad we found Cira!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Willow on Rover is $51.62 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 3,679 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Willow. 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 Willow 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 Willow 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 Willow 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 Rover Guarantee , 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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 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.

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.
