“Absolutely wonderful. This was my first occasion having a sitter. She was knowledgeable, courteous, friendly, prompt and followed all instructions to the letter. 5 STARS!”
“Shannon was incredible. I don’t know where to start. She sent me photos and videos of my pup the whole time and loved on her. It felt so nice to know that my dog was being treated with such love and care. Shannon not only took amazing care of my dog, but my home as well. She folded towels that I didn’t have time to get to, she put dishes away from the dishwasher so as to not leave dishes in the sink, and she stripped the bed before leaving. Cannot recommend her enough!! I will absolutely be using her again when we need a sitter!”
About: Living with four cats means I’m basically fluent in feline! From high speed kitten midnight crazies to grumpy senior side eye, I’ve seen it all. I’m an expert at reading cat moods, mastering the art of the perfect chin scratch, and making sure your kitty gets a safe, fun, and totally customized visit. I'm a stay at home dad with four kitties. They're all different age ranges, my 3 year old daughter included. It's both chaos and a lot of fun! I just looove pet cuddles so much. I love giving belly rubs (if they give their consent). I also just love playing with pets. If they have toys, i can definitely keep them entertained. I always love Tug of War with dogs :)

“Holly was absolutely wonderful with our sweet, very energetic golden retriever. She was a pleasure to talk to, and everything we discussed went so smooth. We are very grateful for her!”
About: I've had animals my entire life: dogs and cats both. I used to work at a pet store and learned a lot from my time there. I currently live in a house with two dogs (one small and one large) and a cat. I have ample experience with all breed types and dogs of all sizes, as well as animals with special needs. I work full time at a bookstore and can commit to dog walking in afternoons and mornings, as well as check ins! I am also open to pet sitting options in the future. I work at a bookstore close to full time (around 35 hours a week.) I am available in the mornings before I leave (before 8) as well as in the afternoons after 4! I do not work weekends, so I can commit to more long term hours and visits then. I do well to listen to all instructions given to me and never make any decisions before consulting with you. I kennel my own dog, and have him on a schedule that works best for him. I know that all animals are different and do my best to ensure your baby is well taken care of and isn't given any unnecessary stress.
About: I’ve always loved both cats and dogs. I understand just how special and significant furrbabies are to our lives! I have one 14 year old chihuahua mix, I helped raise and care for my mom’s two 5 year old cats , and I have a 1 year old kitty of my own (cats are all indoors only). I’m comfortable providing your pets with any needs and wants! walking, feeding, cleaning up after them, play, and giving them lots of love and attention! I’m comfortable with multiple pets at once. I love getting to know all of their personalities and I also love teaching them basic tricks, including cats! I currently have a pretty open and flexible schedule , so I have all of time to care for your pets! I’m available throughout the week and on weekends for drop ins and care in your home. I’m happy to follow whatever routine your furrbaby is used to and help them feel as comfy as possible while they’re in my care! :) I provide care in your pet’s own home, where they can stay comfy in an environment they already know. I’ll always follow any instructions and their normal routine, like feeding, playing, walks, litter boxes, and any other care they may need! :) I’ll make sure they’re safe, comfortable, and get plenty of love and attention while you’re away! <3
“Luke did an amazing job communicating while we were out of town. My girl is very shy and anxious so he spent a good bit of time with her when we did our meet and greet. I was very appreciative! I will absolutely use Luke again!”
“We had such a great experience with Kira! Our dogs absolutely loved her. It was clear from the start that she genuinely cared about them and made sure they were comfortable, happy, and well cared for while we were away. She kept our home just as we left it - clean, organized, and respected our space fully. She was also communicative throughout the stay, sending us updates and checking in as needed, which gave us great peace of mind. We’re so grateful for her help! We will surely be booking her services again, and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, responsible, and caring sitter!”
About: I know what it's like to leave your pets at home when having to work long hours and/or travel on business. I want to share my love for animals and my desire to help others that have to leave their pets due to work requirements or are taking a much needed vacation. Having a dependable person that you can trust coming into your home and taking care of your pet can be a tough decision but rest assured...I'm the one for you. I'm retired and have very flexible hours. I am available Monday thru Friday and on the weekends. I would love to take of your pet. I am able to provide love and companionship to your pet(s) while you are away from home. My goal is to provide you the peace you need to be productive at work or to truly enjoy your vacation.
“Adriana did a fantastic job caring for my dogs. This was a challenging assignment because my dogs are very high energy and it rained quite a bit while she was sitting. I came home to a spotless home and clean happy dogs. Towels to dry the dogs were washed and folded as were the bed sheets. I couldn't be happier with the service she provided. I will certainly use her again and recommend her to others.”
“Tanesha has been watching our pups for over two years now, and we’re so glad to have found her. She’s reliable, easy to communicate with, and our dogs absolutely love her. If you are in need of a pet sitter, you cannot go wrong with Tanesha!”
About: I’ve been caring for animals—including dogs, cats, and chickens—for nearly all of my 28 years. What started as a lifelong love for animals has naturally grown into a passion for caring for them. I also have experience caring for elderly animals and understand that senior pets may need a little extra patience, attention, and TLC. My background in healthcare has taught me the importance of being observant, dependable, and attentive to individual needs—qualities I bring to every pet in my care. I know how important it is to feel confident that your pets are safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I strive to give every animal the same patience, attention, and affection I give my own pets. My goal is to make our time together fun, comfortable, and stress-free while treating your pets like part of my family. 🐾❤️ I’m available for house sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking. I do work a full-time job, with three days in the office and two days working from home. My schedule is flexible, however, and I’m able to work around most pet care needs and schedules. I’m available full-time Thursday through Sunday, making me especially flexible for weekend stays, walks, and drop-in visits. I’m also happy to coordinate weekday care around my work schedule whenever possible. My goal is to make scheduling easy and convenient while providing reliable, consistent care for your pets. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family and take the time to understand their individual routines, personalities, and needs. When caring for your pets in your home, I respect their familiar environment and do my best to keep their routine as consistent as possible. I want you to feel confident knowing your pets are in caring, responsible hands and are receiving the same love and attention they would receive from you.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Willow
Emma was amazing! We felt completely at ease leaving her with our three dogs. Her communication was clear and while we were out of town she gave us morning and evening updates with pictures. We wouldn't hesitate to book Emma again for our house sitting/pet sitting needs. Highly recommend!
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Willow is $44 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $65 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 October 2026, there are 3,380 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 , 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.
