“Meg is fantastic, our animals love her. She sends great update photos and get consistent updates on how everyone was when she drops in. I’d be happy to rebook her anytime we needed someone to watch our pets.”
About: I am a former teacher currently leaving the education field and pursuing other career options. Because of this transition, I am available full time and my schedule is pretty flexible. I have been a fur parent all my life. I have experience caring for senior dogs (I have cared for 3 of my own). I am patient and attentive to detail. I believe in giving 100% in everything I do, so I love to ensure your pet is getting the proper love and care they deserve. This is my full time job so I am pretty flexible. With the proper advance notices, I can do drop-ins and walks in mornings and afternoons. I can do boardings on weekends and weekdays after 3pm. My animals are on a routine feeding schedule. They have many potty breaks and have play time in our fenced backyard. My senior dogs get any medication they need while enjoying relaxing time in my home.
“What a fabulous experience. Excellent communication, pups loved her. She took great care of our home, extremely clean when we returned home. We look forward to booking her again.”
“Elizabeth took such great care of our dogs while we were away. She was diligent about their feeding schedule and kept in touch with pictures and updates. I’ll definitely use her again!”
“This was our first experience with Rover. Our senior boy Hobbes is pretty easy but does need attention. Abby was wonderful!! Our home was in great shape and Hobbes was happy. Thank you Abby!!!”
“Professional, reliable, and clearly loves dogs- even nervous little Yorkies who bark a lot :) I returned from vacation to find my house cleaner than I left it. Highly recommend!”
“Julie was amazing! We will definitely be using her again. She stayed at our home to make sure our pups were comfortable and happy. Julie was responsive in communication, respectful of our home and lovingly attentive to Bowie and Piper. Great overall experience!”
“Sherry was great! Very responsive, asked good questions, and answered promptly. Took good care of our two high-energy pups! Our home was neat and tidy, just like we left it. No problems or concerns. She was great to work with! Will use her again next time we’re headed out of town!”
“John was professional, easygoing, and communicative. He stayed in our home with our pups for a week and they are all healthy and happy. He was very respectful of our home as well. We will definitely rebook!”
About: I have 10+ years in caring for dogs, cats, reptiles, birds, and farm animals. Before I started my family, the animals I’ve cared for were treated as my own. I look forward to experiencing life with your furry friends. I currently work full time in management at a dog boarding / daycare facility. I specialize in dogs of all ages, temperament levels, and medical conditions. I have a full fenced back yard with a kiddie pool (weather permitting), water bowls, and my own three legged dog to keep your pup company.
About: What sets me apart is the extra love and attention I give every pup. I have experience with energetic puppies and everything in between. Whether it’s helping a little one learn new routines or making sure your dog sticks to their schedule, I always keep things fun, safe, and full of care. I treat every dog like they’re my own, with plenty of cuddles, walks, and playtime. Plus, I’ll keep you updated with photos and notes so you always know how your furry friend is doing. Pet care is the highlight of my weekends! Since I’m available Fridays through Sundays, I dedicate that time fully to walks, playtime, and making sure pups feel loved and cared for. During the week I focus on my own schedule, so when the weekend comes around, I’m all about giving your furry friend my full attention. Whether your pup is staying with me or I’m visiting their home, I make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I follow their usual routines—meals, walks, playtime, and cuddles—so everything feels familiar and comfortable. Pets get plenty of attention, fun, and care, and I treat every home with respect, keeping things clean and stress-free. My goal is to give both you and your furry friend peace of mind while you’re away.
“My Bandit loves Aiden! He is great with dogs and so dependable. After staying with my dog for 10 days, he left the house in perfect condition. I will use him often and highly recommend him.”
“Sandra took amazing care of our boys and our home! I didn’t have time to pick up a shredded toy (aka so much stuffing) in my office before leaving and came home to perfectly clean floors. So amazing and grateful we chose Sandra to care for our babies and our space!”
About: I have 2 years of experience caring for pets, and I’m reliable, patient, and good at keeping pets on their normal routine. I’m comfortable with puppies, seniors, and all energy levels. I have a flexible daily routine, so I’m able to spend a lot of time with pets, keep them on schedule, and make sure they get consistent care. Walks, feeding, and playtime all fit naturally into my day. I always follow the owner’s routine exactly and keep the home clean and secure. I make sure doors are locked, pets are supervised, and they get regular potty breaks, feeding, and attention. I treat every home with respect and every pet like my own.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Willow
Sophia was amazing! She went above and beyond to make sure our Frankie had the best time. She was kind, proactive, and always attentive to Frankie’s needs, whether it was playtime, potty breaks, walks, or snuggles. She also kept us updated throughout the stay, which made us feel so comfortable, especially since it was the first time leaving our puppy with her. We could tell right away that Frankie had an amazing time with her, and we’re already looking forward to having her pet sit again!
Monica was amazing! On our initial visit, we knew she would be great for our two beagles as she was interactive and appeared to have an ability to connect with our dogs in a positive way. The housesitting experience was dynamic and interactive with numerous daily check-ins and pics of our happy dogs. The house appeared to be left in better shape than how we left it. She even left us a framed pic of our two dogs sitting obediently next to each other, when typically, they are going at each other. I highly recommend Monica and team, for any dog care you may need. Thanks - and we will be connecting with you soon for additional services.
Meredith was an outstanding pet sitter! She clearly loves animals and her calm and caring demeanor let us vacation worry free knowing our pets were in great hands. Super flexible too-when our sneaky young Basset escaped his makeshift kennel she communicated right away and we were able to figure out a solution no problem. Highly recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Willow on Rover is $45.51 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 3,457 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.
