““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 😊”

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: Humble greetings. My experice with animal care began when I was about 11 years old. I've been raised around and have cared for a plethora of dog breeds and sizes. I've also experienced, and cared for a range of different animals like reptiles, rodents, felines, fish and dogs. I enjoy many different pets/pet personalities and ensure that I can provide the care your paw-some pet requires ^u^. I'm currently working part-time and have a flexible schedule. Weekends, and Some holidays are great times for my availability. I'm willing to negotiate some weekdays depending on my schedule. Depending on the animal, I will provide the care that is requested of me by you(the owner). Since you know your pet better than I do, I would like to have a description of the pets personality, meal times, routines, healthcare needs and habits so I know how to accommodate them best( knowing whether they need space, like cuddles, have zoomies, need medicine throughout the day, need assistance walking etc.) If your pet is medicated I need to know HOW they are given their medication and when they are to recieve it. I also need to be notified of any disabilities they may have. This is all to ensure that my care is excellent for you and them.<3

About: Dogs have been part of my life for over 37 years, and I truly believe they’re family! I’ve cared for dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities, from energetic youngsters to sweet seniors who need a little extra patience and attention. As a longtime dog owner, I understand how important it is to know your furry family member is in loving, capable hands. I have personal experience caring for senior dogs with ongoing medical needs, so I understand the importance of routines, medication schedules, and recognizing changes in behavior. I’m dependable, attentive, patient, and happy to provide updates and photos while you’re away. Whether your dog needs a relaxing walk, a potty break, companionship, or some extra TLC, I’ll treat them with the same love and respect I give my own. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to offer pet care throughout the week, including mornings, evenings, and select weekends. I enjoy spending time outdoors and making sure dogs get the exercise, attention, and companionship they deserve. Whether your pup needs a morning walk, a midday potty break, or some extra love while you’re away, I’m happy to coordinate a schedule that works for both of us! Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priorities. As a longtime dog owner with experience caring for senior dogs and pets with special medical needs, I understand how important routines, patience, and attention to detail are. When caring for pets in your home, I respect your space and follow your instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special requirements. I’ll also provide updates and photos so you can feel confident knowing your furry family member is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: Willing to be trained, lol. But seriously paying attention to detail and keeping all pets healthy is key to caring for the pet and friend. Part time work now and care here is part time pay. It fits in quite naturally as pets keep ya healthy just walking around . I have them inside and take for long walks around the peaceful community at the Christian Retreat. Whatever activity that is needed can be achieved.

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!

FAQs for House Sitting - Willow

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Willow is $50 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $36 and $67 per night. 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 3,659 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 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.

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

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.
