Great sitter. On time, great communication. Kimberly stayed with our boy Buddy overnight. Buddy has separation anxiety and is very spoiled. He just needs company. Kimberly took great care of him. We'll definitely book her again in the future

About: Your pet will be treated like family with plenty of love, attention, playtime, and personalized care while you're away. I provide safe, attentive, and reliable care so you can have peace of mind knowing your pets are in good hands. Pet care fits very well into my routine because I have a flexible schedule and work in the gig economy. That allows me to plan my day around the pets I'm caring for, whether that means walks, drop in visits, feeding, playtime, or giving them extra attention and companionship. I enjoy spending time with animals, and I make it a priority to provide reliable, consistent care while keeping owners updated along the way. Because I'll be caring for pets in their own home, my priority is keeping them comfortable by maintaining their normal routine. I'll follow your instructions for feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and any special care they need. I also make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, and exercise while respecting your home and keeping everything clean and secure. I'll provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you're away.

About: I've been surrounded by animals my entire life and truly believe that pets are family. In my professional life, I am a social worker, and caring for others has always been at the heart of who I am. That same compassion extends to animals, and I recognize the important role they play in our lives as companions, sources of comfort, and beloved members of the family. As a dedicated and dependable house sitter, I provide loving, attentive care while ensuring your home is safe, secure, and well-maintained during your absence. My experience includes caring for dogs, cats, birds, and small animals, each with their own unique personalities and needs. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply maintaining their regular routine, I take the time to make them feel comfortable, loved, and secure while you're away. I understand how important it is to trust someone with both your pets and your home, and I pride myself on being responsible, communicative, and detail-oriented. I'll care for your pets as if they were my own and provide regular updates so you can have peace of mind knowing they are receiving exceptional care and attention. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. As a social worker, I have built my career around caring for others, and I enjoy providing the same level of attention and compassion to animals. I am organized, dependable, and able to plan my schedule around the needs of the pets in my care. Whether it's feeding, walks, playtime, administering medications, or simply providing companionship, I make sure each pet receives consistent attention and care. I also work well with established routines and will do my best to maintain your pet's normal schedule to help them feel comfortable and secure while you're away. My goal is always to keep things as normal and stress-free as possible for the pets in my care. Whether I am caring for pets in my home or in a client's home, I follow their established routines for feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and rest. I understand that pets thrive on consistency, so I take the time to learn their preferences, habits, and unique personalities. I provide plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and companionship while ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I also maintain open communication with pet owners and provide regular updates so they can have peace of mind while they are away.

Melanie is absolutely amazing! From the moment we met, I could tell my dog was in good hands. She took such loving care of him, sent me daily photos and updates, and made sure he stuck to his routine. It’s so hard to find someone you can truly trust, but Melanie went above and beyond. I’ll definitely be booking again — highly recommend her to anyone who wants their dog treated like family! 💕🐶

About: I’ve loved animals ever since i was young, I got my first cat at 7. He was my personal cat that I had to take care of on my own! Ever since then i’ve had 3 cats, and 4 dogs! I’ve loved them all equally as my own and rehoused all of them to very safe environments! I currently have a 9 month old female doberman who is so well trained and such a good girl! I’m currently at home 24/7 so I need something to occupy my mind. When I learned about Rover, I knew i needed to sign up and care for other animals as if they were my own. I love being around fur babys. I have a gate at the top of my stairs which would stop any accidents. I always have poop and pee pads in my home just in case we don’t make it outside on time!

We couldn’t have asked for a better overnight sitter than Evelyn. She took wonderful care of our fur babies while we were away, and it was clear from the moment we walked in they’d been well loved. She was attentive and responsive throughout the stay, always quick to answer messages and kept us updated. We came home to a tidy house and 3 relaxed pets. Thank you Evelyn!

About: Dogs are a gift from heaven. I have a gift of love for dogs. My dogs mean the world to me. They are everything. When ever I see someone walking their dog I say hi to the dog! I am patient and caring. I believe dogs need that because just like us they have feelings and triggers. I understand each dog is different and I will most certainly adapt to your dogs needs. And of course give plenty of snoot kisses. I am the type of dog lover to lay on the ground with your dog, have conversations and send plenty of pictures and updates to you 🧡 I work a part time job from 5am to 10am. And the rest of the day is for the dogs and whatever they need! Frequent potty breaks and long walks I have unfenced 3 acres and quiet streets and walking trails for exercise and a 7 year old boxer Shepard mix who loves to play. My dog and any dog are allowed on furniture unless you suggest otherwise. I love to walk or wven run long distance. My doggo baylee and I love to 8 miles most days.

About: I've lived with dogs and have four cats of my own! Also, I've fostered puppies and kittens since 2015 with my local animal shelter, and what I love about it is helping animals find their fur-ever homes. My experience includes taking care of high-needs pets with routine care (i.e. medical needs). I am currently available to care for your fur-babies during the week and on weekends, making my services flexible to your every need! Looking forward to providing the most comfortable experience. I will go to you for your needs, which include overnight stays and the ability to accommodate high-need pets. I am also bilingual should you need someone who provides bilingual care.

FAQs for House Sitting - Willow Creek

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Willow Creek on Rover is $38.85 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 2,042 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Willow Creek. 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 Creek 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 Creek 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 Creek 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.

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

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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.
