“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Avery took great care of our two dogs, Bosa and Murphy, while we were away. He was very reliable and communicative, and we really appreciated the updates and photos he sent during our trip. It gave us peace of mind knowing our dogs were in good hands. We came home to two happy pups, a clean house and everything was great shape. We would definitely book Avery again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive dog sitter! Thx Avery!”
“Elizabeth was fantastic! She followed all instructions and communicated well while we were gone. Highly recommend her services!! Our Bo said he had a great time while she was there!”
“Stacy took great care of my fur baby! She sent me daily updates and pictures of him, and made sure to spend so much time giving him attention. This was my first time leaving Bentley, and I felt so comfortable leaving him in such great hands! She even took him on extra walks, and I couldn’t be more grateful :)”
“Emma has house-sat my cats twice for extended periods. She keeps me updated with photos and asks questions if needed. She’s easy to communicate with and responds promptly. My cats always have a blast with her and are well cared for and loved. On top of that, she leaves my place in the same or even better condition than when I left. As an anxious person and loving pet parent, I usually stress about leaving my kitties. However, when Emma is watching my babies, I’m not even worried because I know they’re in excellent hands!”
“John was great very communicative, attentive, and punctual with Bella. This was my first experience using a sitter outside of my family, and I must say I was really happy to have found him. He made the entire process comfortable and stress-free, and I would absolutely recommend him as a sitter.”
About: I've been caring for animals of all shapes and sizes for as long as I can remember, and I'm the go-to pet sitter for friends, family, and just about everyone in my circle. My experience includes working in doggy daycare and animal shelters, where I cared for pets with a wide range of temperaments, energy levels, and needs. Because of that, I'm comfortable handling animals of any size and confident administering medications/taking care of any special needs. Beyond professional experience, I spend my time fostering both cats and dogs, helping them feel safe, loved, and cared for while they waited for their forever homes. Whether your pet is playful and energetic, shy and reserved, or requires a little extra attention, I strive to provide compassionate, reliable care and treat every animal as if they were my own. i'm currently working full time, i have a dog of my own who i take care of. most of my off the clock hours revolve around making sure she is happy and content! i plan to add your pets needs to that schedule! I have a dog park I use at my complex for some free roaming as well as walks at my nearest park. in home, i can crate if needed or your pet is welcome to hang out around the house with us!
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.
“We’re so grateful for Abby!! First time using Rover and we felt so comfortable leaving our pups behind with her to care for them. The photos and updates of them truly were the best! We hope to have Abby again next time we vacation,”
About: I started dog walking and pet sitting at 18 as a way to pay rent during COVID. Like anyone learning on the job, I made some mistakes in the beginning, but over the past 6 years, I’ve made a complete 180 — gaining valuable knowledge and refining my skills to care for animals the right way. Now at 24 and working toward becoming a veterinarian, this has grown from a job into a true passion. I combine experience, education, and genuine love for animals to provide the best care possible for your furry friends. My schedule varies weekly, so I update my calendar regularly to ensure you can easily book dog walking and sitting services whenever you need it. When walking dogs, I always bring a water dispenser and doggy bags, so you don’t have to worry about a thing. For dog boarding, your dog will feel right at home! Dogs are welcome on the furniture unless you prefer otherwise, following your training guidelines. I provide potty breaks every 2–4 hours and extra walks for energetic pups to burn off energy. Bedtime is at 8 PM, with the last walk of the day to help your dog settle in comfortably.
About: Dogs have been an important part of my life for many years, and caring for them is something I genuinely enjoy and take seriously. Over the years, I’ve cared for puppies, adult dogs, senior dogs, rescue dogs, and high-energy breeds, each with their own unique personalities and needs. My experience includes fostering puppies, helping rescue and rehabilitate abandoned dogs, administering oral medications, reinforcing training, potty training puppies, and providing attentive day-to-day care through walks, house sitting, and drop-in visits. I have also cared for senior dogs who required extra patience, accommodations, and medication management. One of the things I enjoy most is getting to know each dog’s individual personality. Some dogs need structure and exercise, while others need patience, reassurance, and time to build trust. I adapt my approach to each dog while maintaining the routines and expectations established by their family. I believe great pet care goes beyond feeding and walks. I focus on creating a safe, enriching, and positive experience through structured walks, mental stimulation, play, and plenty of attention. I also provide frequent updates and photos so owners can feel confident and connected while they’re away. My long-term goal is to continue expanding my knowledge of canine behavior and training. Every dog teaches me something new, and I love the opportunity to learn from them while providing the care, consistency, and companionship they deserve. I work from home, which allows me to be flexible and attentive when caring for pets. Because I spend much of my day at home, I’m able to provide regular potty breaks, exercise, playtime, companionship, and plenty of supervision. I want to make sure every pet feels comfortable, safe, and loved while maintaining the routine they’re used to at home. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow each pet parent’s instructions and do my best to maintain the routines that help dogs feel secure, comfortable, and relaxed. During walks, I stay fully attentive to the dog(s) and my surroundings. I avoid using my phone unless absolutely necessary, and if I need to check it for something important, we take a short break to ensure the dog’s safety remains my full focus. I also use safe handling practices at all times. For drop-in visits and house sitting, I make sure pets have fresh water, plenty of exercise, mental stimulation, affection, and any medications or special care they may require. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, so I provide regular updates and photos to help you feel connected and confident while you’re away.
“Sophia is amazing! She took excellent care of our Johnny boy and of our home. She has a fun personality and is so kind. Johnny loved her instantly! I loved all the pictures and videos she sent while we were away. Even some on the Ring doorbell camera. 😂 We will absolutely be hiring her again!”
“Marie was a wonderful dog/house sitter. She was very accommodating for a last minute weekend trip, able to meet my 3 furry babies / big dogs and learn their routine a few days before I had to leave. From the pictures she sent it seemed like my dogs were loving all the attention. I will definitely call upon Marie again in the near future.”
“Terri was great with my dog Bunny who has a history of abuse and has anxiety especially new people. She really took the time to spend time with her and make her more comfortable.”
“Julie is an amazing sitter — reliable, caring, and truly treats our pets like her own. She goes above and beyond to make sure they feel loved, safe, and comfortable while we’re away. We always come home to happy, relaxed cats! We’re so grateful to have found someone we trust completely!”
About: I’ve taken care of family dogs my entire life and have had my own dog for the past 5 years! I love being outside so anytime the option is available I’ll take advantage of it! I’m currently working full time for the state so I work 8-5 during the week and have every weekend off. I also have all county and state holidays off as well so can be available evenings, weekends, and holidays. I have a fenced in yard with locks/gates so the environment is protected! I typically don’t let my dog outside alone for too long and keep an eye out just in case.
“Kristen is absolutely amazing!! I have tried several other pet sitters and none compare! She was the most attentive to my dog and his needs which is really important to me because I'm a dog mom. She provided many pictures and videos everyday and took the time to make me feel totally at ease and I could focus on my work trip. I would highly recommend them :)”
“This was the first time I’ve ever left my sweet girl with someone other than a family member or friend! He is super kind and took amazing care of our girl Gracie and loved her like his own which was exactly what we were looking for. He sent us pictures and videos on our trip and communicated thoroughly! Will definitely use him again we loved having him!”

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!

FAQs for House Sitting - Willow
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Willow on Rover is $47.39 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 3,443 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.
