“Juliann was a pleasure to work with. Our dog is just a 4-month-old puppy, and this is her first time with a dog sitter. She sent us many photos and updates, and we returned to a happy dog. Thanks, Juliann we plan to use you again.”
“Betsy was fantastic with our 2 dogs and cat. She provided regular updates (with some humor as we have a goofy golden retriever) and photos. The dogs absolutely loved her. Thanks again Betsy for caring for our pets!”
About: My combined experience from growing up with pets as well as pet sitting for others, makes me comfortable and reliable when it comes to caring for them and satisfying their needs. I have strong sense of responsibility and the ability to follow instructions, while providing loving care for your pets. I do have a part time job, so my schedule/availability will change from week to week as I don't get my schedule for the job until the week of. If I stay overnight at a house, I make sure to be on high alert to listen and interpret what I think the animal needs. I also make sure to be respectful of the household's boundaries and rules as well as taking responsibility of the safety (locking doors and etc.) of the house.
“First time using Rover and we had the good luck of choosing Heather. She was AMAZING with our elderly blind & deaf pug, so patient, kind and loving. She stayed at our house including overnight for 2 1/2 days, our first vacation in 6 months. We would not hesitate to have her take care of our girl again- great job Heather!”
“Savanah was able to accommodate last minutes sitting for my Yuengling and she was wonderful. She sent constant updates and pictures. She even went beyond by extending the end time range to accommodate our delays. Would love to rebook with her again when we are in the area.”
“Itzia was amazing! She took great care of our pets (we have five ?????) and sent us lots of photos and videos. She even left our house cleaner than we left it. We will definitely be using her again to watch our zoo.”
“What a great experience. Mallory was great from the first contact. Throughout the sitting she was very communicative and you can tell she loves dogs and cats. She is definitely very knowledgeable on pet handling and my pets loved her. Thanks again.”
About: 25 years of heartfelt experience caring for dogs and cats of all sizes and ages, I bring genuine love and expert knowledge to every furry friend. Whether it’s a playful puppy, a wise senior cat, or anything in between, my deep understanding ensures compassionate, personalized care that nurtures their health and happiness. Every pet is treated like family, making their well-being and joy my top priority. Extremely flexible schedule, I am willing to travel, work remotely, willing to respond quickly, living on 1.5 acres, here to help with your pet needs. I have plenty of space to walk the dogs, a dog runner, crate, and one female cat named Bubbles. Bubbles will most likely stay in the basement where she thrives in her own space.
“Laura took such good care of my boys while we were away on a trip! I could tell my dogs were comfortable with her. She sent pictures and updates daily and I appreciate that she spent time with them; she wasn’t just coming in, taking care of their needs and then leaving again. I won’t hesitate to book her again when needed.”
“We highly recommend Kate! Our Lexi is still wondering where her new friend went :) Kate sent us lots of updates and pictures. Lexi was happy and healthy when we returned. This was the first time we left her home without us overnight, and we didn't have a moment of worry about her well-being. Lexi hopes to see Kate again soon!”
About: I've taken care of many dogs, cats, fish, and even the occasional bird. I had my own pet sitting side business while I was in college in Tampa and have missed I ever since I moved!! I am currently looking to switch careers so my appointment book will be pretty open in the near future. I'd love for this to develop into my full time job. I am currently renting so I'm not offering boarding services. But I'm offering drop in visits not only to walk, feed, and clean up after pets but to spend some time with them so they are not lonely
“Chloe did an amazing job with 5+ animals and our home! Her communication was consistent and everyone was happy and settled when we returned home! Will definitely try to get Chloe whenever we can!”
“Absolutely sweetheart!! I trusted her with my two polar opposite dogs and she did absolutely amazing!! Stayed with them all day so they didn’t have to be in a cage all day. She was very responsive and send updates throughout the day. 10/10 would recommend and rebook again!!”
About: I’ve been dog sitting for about 3 years, and I also worked at a doggy daycare for a year! During that time, I gained experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. Working at a daycare taught me how important patience and understanding are, especially when dogs miss their owners, feel anxious, or don’t want to eat. I know every dog is different, and I always take the time to understand their individual needs and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I truly enjoy spending time with dogs, and I treat every pet as if they were my own! I’m currently a college student, so my schedule and availability change each semester depending on my classes. I also work part-time on weekends, but I have free time during the week that I would love to spend caring for dogs! While weekdays are generally easier for me, I’m also open to weekend pet sitting and would be happy to discuss availability in advance. I think pet sitting fits perfectly into my college routine because it allows me to do something I genuinely enjoy while balancing school and work. I love spending time with dogs, and I truly believe their companionship would brighten my day just as much as I hope to brighten theirs! Since I currently live in a college dorm, I only offer pet care in the owner’s home. I understand how important it is for dogs to feel safe and comfortable, especially when their owners are away. I believe keeping them in a familiar environment and maintaining their usual routine can make a big difference! I’m very respectful of each owner’s home and always make sure to follow any instructions regarding feeding, walks, playtime, and any special needs their dog may have. With my previous dog sitting and daycare experience, I know how to be patient with dogs of different personalities and help them feel comfortable and loved while their owners are away. My goal is to give owners peace of mind knowing their pets are in caring and responsible hands!
“Amanda took exceptional care for my dog! She recommended me to buy a harness with a chip on the front so she could walk my dog and start training her to not pull!!! OMG I have a different dog!!! Amanda was clean and respectful to my house and spoiled my crazy dog!!! Highly recommend Amanda 🙏”
“WOW!!!! I can't say enough positive things about Lynsey's care of our dogs, cat, fish and house!!! She was wonderfully communicative, flexible, and obviously enjoyed hanging with our critters. We came back to a house cleaner than what we left, and felt so assured for the week that we were gone that our pets and house were well cared for!”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats in my life since I was a toddler. I’ve always been a big pet lover and currently have two dogs and three cats of my own. I understand every pet is unique and has their own personalities and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I have pet sat for neighbors and friends since I was a teenager! I am easy to work with and very responsible, I’m here for whatever you need! I currently work part time, so I have plenty of extra time on my hands! My schedule is very flexible so I can adjust to your needs! I can watch your pet in their own familiar environment to hopefully keep them from having the fear and anxiety of being in a new home, I’ll try to keep your usual routine! I will show them lots of love while engaging them in whatever playful activities they prefer!
“Susanna was wonderful with our pets. She sent a check in picture each day to keep us up to speed, and when we got back our dogs were calm and clearly had been loved and cared for while we were gone. They didn’t even seem super excited to see us which is a great sign that they had a good time with Susanna. ?”
“Ellie was so great with our puppy and our 3 cats. She stayed most of the day and evening while we were at a wedding. She made sure they all stayed on schedule & sent sweet photos and messages. Will definitely book her again!!”

Mallory took such good care of our doggies and our house while we were away! She was very kind and understanding about our crazy, cuddly poochies and managed to have a good time with them. She was great at communicating and sent lots of photos and updates throughout the week, which helped a lot with missing them. Definitely hoping to hire her again in the future!
Morisa did a stellar job caring for my doodle, Mandy, in my home! Morisa followed my instructions to a tee and spoiled my baby with attention. Mandy was completely comfortable with Morisa and, for the first time ever, wasn’t traumatized by my absence. Morisa’s mature presence and gentle / loving demeanor were just what we needed. Morisa was very respectful of my home and left everything in great shape. I’m so pleased and will definitely use her again!
Justin was great! Communication was clear from start to finish, he took great care of our pets, and left the house in excellent condition. His dog Finn joined our two dogs + cat and they all had a great time together. We would highly recommend Justin for anyone looking for care for dogs and cats.
We truly cannot say enough amazing things about Caitlyn! From the very first interaction, it was clear how much she genuinely loves and understands animals. Leaving your dogs behind is never easy, but she gave us complete peace of mind from start to finish. She was incredibly reliable, communicative, and thoughtful. We received regular updates, photos, and little notes about how our dogs were doing, which meant the world to us. It was obvious they were in the best care while we were away. Our dogs were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for when we returned home. She went above and beyond, keeping everything clean and organized and even handling the house during an unexpected blizzard. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and truly compassionate to care for your pets, look no further. We are beyond grateful and will absolutely be booking with her again!

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 Brook 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 Brook 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 Brook 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.
