“Kelly is amazing! We were out of town for such a short time but she took such great care of the dogs and kept us updated with texts and photos the entire time! Highly recommend and will definitely have over again in the future!”
About: I have had cats and dogs since I was a child and loved helping others to take care of their pets. I'm addition to that, I have been a dog foster for a local dog rescue in the past. Your pets and their safety is my first priority. I take care of them as they are my own. I will send frequent photo updates and detailed report cards during every visit. I'm currently not working so I can give your pet almost constant attention and care. Your pet will rarely be left alone, and I can easily stick to their feeding, walking and medication routines. I am available for frequent potty breaks, playtime, and supervision. I have a very flexible schedule and I will follow your instructions on keeping your pet safe and comfortable. I will provide fresh food and clean water on a strict daily schedule. I will wash food and water bowls regularly. I am available to walk dogs at least three times a day (or more) or let them out safely. I am available to clean indoor cat litter boxes during every visit. I will keep doors, windows, and gates securely locked to prevent escapes. I can also handle extra household tasks like bringing in mail, watering plants, and alternating lights, if requested.
“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.”
“This was our second time working with Rachel and she did an excellent job taking care of our dog while we were away. She is prompt, polite, and easy to communicate with.”
“Rebecca was wonderful with our anxious old pup and took the time to come meet him beforehand and learn about him. Hoping she’s available to book for our other upcoming travel dates!”
About: I’ve grown up around different breeds of dogs and cats. I truly have a love for animals which make the best person to babysit your babies. I specialize in socializing young pups to just comforting pups with separation anxiety. Gone all day and need someone to check on your baby? I’m there! Your baby needs a walk while you’re at work? You can count on me! With working part time, this gives me more flexibility to help you when needed! Mornings, afternoons, and weekends I can help! Walks, quick visits, boarding, etc. I have a home with plenty of space and a huge fenced in back yard! I also live near dog parks if your baby needs to go and stretch its legs!
“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!”
About: I’ve had a dog since I was 15. She’s now 11 years old and a healthy pup. I was a certified vet assistant a few years back but could not handle the emotional pain of watching dogs pass in the medical field. I still love dogs and cats and enjoy caring for them. I work full time overnight so I am able to spend daytime with your pet! Tuesday and Wednesday are my usual days off. I can typically spend 6-8 hours with your pet before I leave for work at 9:30pm. My pets are kept indoors and on our screened patio. They keep a strict routine and enjoy sunbathing on the patio. It’s a relatively new home so the screening is strong and has never been broken. We have two litter robots and my home is always in clean condition.
About: I have experience caring for pets and really enjoy spending time with animals. I’m responsible, patient, and caring, and I can help with feeding, walking, playing, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I have time each day for feeding, walks, playtime, and giving pets plenty of attention. I’m flexible with my schedule and can adjust to each pet’s needs and routine. I care for pets in my own home by providing a safe, clean, and comfortable environment. I follow their usual routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention. I also make sure they feel welcome and comfortable while they are staying with me.

When they are home, they are very gentle with pets we board and have learned to give them their space. 💬 Ready to Meet? I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend! Feel free to reach out with any questions or to schedule a meet-and-greet. I work from home full-time, which means your pet will have constant supervision, companionship, and regular mid-day breaks. Because I only host one family at a time, your pet's routine and needs will have my undivided attention all day long. I maintain a secure, pet-friendly home located in a gated community. With a fully fenced yard, I can safely let your dog out for frequent potty breaks in addition to regular walks on local trails.

About: Throughout the years, I have had the privilege of caring for a multitude of pets. From energetic and playful youngsters to wise and delicate seniors. I have gained valuable experience in tending to the needs of beloved animals. Rest assured, I am fully equipped to handle all the responsibilities that come with caring for your cherished pet! I currently work from home and am able to care for your pet as if you were home. The most I would be away is for an hour or so. I am fortunate to possess a dog-friendly haven, perfect for leisurely strolls and a large fenced in yard for play! My home is always clean for myself and my guests, regardless of how many legs.
“Jailene was great. Prompt and friendly with her communication. We were happy with our entire experience with her and as long as our needy pups didn't scare her away we will absolutely be having her stay for us again.”
About: Animal care has always been second nature to me. Whether it’s double-checking paw pads after a walk or simply giving a shy dog the time and space they need to settle in, I take their comfort and safety personally. Friends and family have trusted me with their pets for years because they know my standard of care: Attentive & Safe: I keep a watchful eye on small details—body language, hydration, and outdoor comfort. Undivided Attention: Without pets of my own, guest dogs receive dedicated companionship and tailored care. Clear Communication: Daily photo updates and prompt check-ins so you never have to wonder how your dog is doing. Your pet's safety and comfort always come first in my home. I am a stay-at-home mom working remotely, which gives me incredible daily flexibility to keep pet care front and center. Because I am home throughout the day, guest pets are rarely left unattended and enjoy a consistent, predictable routine. My schedule easily accommodates tailored meal schedules, timely potty breaks, mid-day walks, and prompt administration of any necessary medications. Whether it is boarding in my home or house sitting in yours, my availability allows me to adapt directly to your pet's normal rhythm rather than forcing them to adjust to mine. In my home, guest pets are welcomed as part of the family in a calm, cage-free environment. I do not believe in crating unless it is Requested by the client, part of your dog’s established home sleep routine, needed for undisturbed feeding, or required for safety. For outdoor time, every relief break and walk is conducted on-leash to ensure complete containment and security. Basic grooming—like baths, brushing, and nail trims—is also available upon request if your dog is comfortable with it. When house sitting in your home, my priority is keeping your pet entirely within their familiar comfort zone. I maintain their regular feeding rituals, walking routes, and household rules to prevent stress while keeping your space clean, secure, and respected. Across both settings, you receive daily photo updates and prompt communication so you always have total peace of mind.

I provide consistent walks, proper feeding, medication when needed, bathing, and basic obedience reinforcement. I treat every dog as if it were my own and prioritize safety, routine, and clear communication. I currently own a black golden doodle! My schedule is completely open at the moment as I would like to make this a full-time career and incorporate the experience/knowledge into my own future small business plans. I have a fully fenced yard in a quiet HOA neighborhood. Pets are always supervised, kept on routine, and never left unattended outside. I follow owner instructions exactly and provide regular updates.
“It was such a pleasure for us to know that Amy was at our home taking great care of Whiskey! When we met Amy for our meet and greet we had a feeling that they would get along great and they did! Thank you Amy for taking care of our home as well and for your kindness and professionalism throughout. We look forward to having you come over again and spend some time with our whiskey ;-)”
“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!”
“Francesca is exactly the person that you want to care for your furry family members! Stop looking at profiles, you’ve found the person that loves, understands, and respects animals and humans. Not only did Francesca care for my sons very large dogs, but when we had an unexpected change in our travel plans she took on a fourth puppy to watch with them from my husband and I. After a meet and greet we had no worries at all. She sent pictures very often, and we could tell she was genuinely enjoying our dogs. One of the dogs that can be standoffish with strangers became her buddy early on in the trip. It’s like a special power. She’s meant to do this job. And my only concern about telling everyone how fantastic she is, is that we will have competition for her time when we go to book her again! She even washed doggie linens! Seriously, she’s wonderful. Thank you Francesca 💕”
“Briseida is nothing short of amazing! She treated our pups and kitties as if they were her own, with love and caring. She communicates every day and sent us pics and updates, was responsive and very respectful of our home. Her friendly, warm demeanor put us at ease while being away. We absolutely will be calling her to care of our fur babies in the future!!”

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!

The average cost of House Sitting in Willow is $52 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $44 and $65 per night.

As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 , 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.
