Kimberly took amazing care of our 2 dogs while we were away for 3 days. She sent pictures and updates daily. The dogs loved being with her and our house was very clean when we got home. I would highly recommend her.

Outstanding sitter! She took exceptional care of our dogs and treated them like her own. We were especially grateful for how calmly and confidently she handled Pearl during a low blood sugar episode — it gave us total peace of mind while we were away. She went above and beyond in every way. We came home to happy pups and would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend!

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.

About: I have 3 cats. All of them are aging (10, 11,and 12yrs old) and two are on meds. One gets daily meds, twice a day. One is an indoor/outdoor cat and keeping him safe is a full time job that I'm happy to do. Being a walker or sitter would be my full time job, so it would be my whole routine day to day. I will be 100% available. My entire house is setup for my pets. They have more furniture than I do! They will be happy and feel at home. Theybwill have tons of toys to play with as well.

Haley took wonderful care of our high energy dogs, Grace the Maverick! Grace is an 18-month old vocal German Shepherd (large dog), which can be intimidating. Maverick is an active Husky, full of attitude and personality, who takes a little bit to warm up to new people. They both loved Haley and got plenty of walks, backyard play sessions, and snuggles to keep them in their routine and happy while we were away! We got so many quality pictures and updates all week long. We felt confident they were in great hands!

This was the second time that Ace stayed at my house to look after my two dogs. He took wonderful care of them. Even when one of them seemed to have a dodgy stomach. He communicated all the time and let me know know the were doing. I also came back to a clean house! I already have Ace booked for my next trip!

About: Hi, I'm Rowan! I provide specialized pet care for cats and dogs based on their unique needs! I offer boarding, house sitting, drop in visits, daycare, and dog walking. Does your pet need a lot of attention? Cuddles? Quiet time? Medication or monitoring? Whether your pet is energetic, elderly, or has special needs, I'm trained and equipped to make sure they get exactly what they need. I guarantee personalized pet care exceeding industry standards, quick and clear communication, and a positive experience for you and your furry family. My experience: I have several years of professional experience working at luxury dog daycare and boarding facilities. In these roles, I provided around the clock animal care, administered medications, provided special services for senior and disabled dogs, and more. I've also volunteered hundreds of hours as an animal care attendant and dog walker at animal shelters and non-profits like Tails. In addition to this, I have a lifetime of personal experience caring for cats and dogs for friends, colleagues, and neighbors! About me: I'm currently finishing my final semester (virtually) as a graduate student in cultural anthropology. During my BA program in environmental studies, I took multiple classes on animal behavior and animal ethics, so caring for animals is a long term passion of mine! Outside of that, I love painting, doing ceramics, and reading sci-fi novels. :) I'm currently a graduate student in cultural anthropology finishing my final semester virtually. My schedule is extremely flexible and I'm able to respond quickly to whatever you or your pet need! For boarding: I live in a small apartment next to a big park where your pup can get plenty of outside time. I'm happy to play, cuddle, give space, go for walks, or provide anything else your pet needs. Due to the size of my apartment, quiet dogs are preferred. For House sitting: When in your home, I'll follow all your instructions exactly and provide prompt communication. I'm also happy to send regular updates with pictures of your pet. :)

About: I’ve taken care of many different kinds of dogs since I was 8 years old! I’m comfortable taking care of dogs (and cats) that require a LOT (mine needs 4 miles a day and lot’s of attention) but also appreciative of those that just want to cuddle :) I’m currently working full-time, but I have lots of free time in the mornings and early afternoons! I’m comfortable working within your dog’s daily schedule. I am comfortable doing whatever your dog needs to have a happy, safe time while you are away. I have taken care of dogs with dog-doors, dogs in condos, etc. Whatever you need, let me know and I’ll make sure to do it (and if I can’t I will communicate that clearly)!

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 August 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 August 2026, there are 2,093 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.
