“Louis was a lifesaver. I requested 3 last minute drop in visits. He came to my house to meet me and my dogs on the same day as the request, right before I left town. He was very attentive, asked me important questions that I hadn't even thought of, and made me feel completely at ease. He showed up for his visits right on time, like literally right on the hour, every time, stayed the entire 30 minutes, and followed all of my instructions. I could not have asked for a better sitter. I would not hesitate to book him again in the future.”

About: Even as a kid, I was the primary caregiver for my childhood dog, Zoey. I took responsibility for making sure she was fed and watered, taking her for long walks and playing with her in our backyard. I knew that when I grew up, I would adopt a dog as soon as I could. A few months before I was discharged from the Marine Corps, I reached out to my hometown's local animal shelter about Baron. Baron was a 2-year-old, Boxer/Pit mix and from the moment I saw his picture, I knew he was going to be my boy. I called the shelter regularly to see if he was still there and let them know the day I could pick him up. I drove from my base in California to my Mom's house in Florida, dropped my stuff off, and immediately went to the shelter to adopt Baron. For the first few months I took him everywhere I went. All my friends and family knew that if Dan was coming, so was Baron. A few years after adopting Baron, I shared pictures of him with a girl I was talking to, and she immediately wanted to meet him. I took him for a walk with her and, as they say, the rest is history, she’s my wife. She brought two cats to the relationship, Teyla and Cara, and I eventually adopted a third cat, Ahsoka, with her. I cared for Baron together for 10 years. In 2022, he was diagnosed with bone cancer in his jaw, and we decided to try surgery, chemo and radiation. My wife and I got another 3 years with him, when the vet had told us he had 6 months to live. In 2025, his cancer returned, and he passed away just a few months before I got married. I spread some of his ashes at our wedding ceremony at one of the purest lakes in New Zealand and his name is engraved on our wedding bands. Shortly after saying goodbye to Baron, my wife and I adopted our fourth cat, Leia. I like to say she is Baron reincarnated because she follows me everywhere and has taken his place begging for food at the dinner table. I love meeting new dogs and cats, and have never met a dog that doesn't like me (I think everyone knows that cats aren't always that easy to win over!). As the caregiver for your pet, I bring years of experience caring for dogs and cats. I have experience with puppies, kittens, and senior dogs and cats. I am experienced with delivering oral and topical medications, and hand feeding. I am experienced with obedience training and basic commands, crate training, walking on a lead, different types of dog collars, and off leash e-collar use. I understand how to safely have dogs meet, and what signs to look for to signal aggression, discomfort, fear, or playfulness when around other dogs. I understand that pets have routines and schedules, and I will adjust my day to make sure your pet can keep their routine. I know what it's like to have another person care for my pets, and I will make sure to send photos and messages with updates to let you know your pet is safe and happy. As a stay-at-home trophy husband and cat dad, my day is flexible and I can ensure your pet's care and comfort is my top priority. I am currently working part time so I have a flexible schedule to acommodate your pet's routine. Your pet will get a considerable amount of attention and care while I'm with them. I have used Rover in the past for my own dog so I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, whether it's reinforcing good behavior or just giving lots of care and love, your pet's well being is my top priority. I'm available when you need me. From checking in on your pets while you are on vacation, taking your dog for a nice stimulating walk, or staying the night with your pets, let me know what works best for you! I will care for your pet in your home so they feel safe and comfortable. I will always have your dog on a leash and check the immediate area for other people/animals before leaving the house. I will respect your home like it's my own house, and I will follow your pet's schedule and house rules.

About: Have had pets since I was a child. Always dogs, sometimes cats, reptiles, rodents, or fish... often combinations of more than one of the above I have a flexible work schedule that allows me to give your pets as much attention as they want. Can also take entire days of from work to focus on pets as needed. Our yard in a quiet neighborhood is not fenced, but we can & will take as many leashed walks as needed. In the house, we have a laid-back pug and an aloof cat who likes to hide in the bedroom (she has a lock that lets her in while keeping dogs out) when strangers are about.

About: Hi! My name is Alex, and I've been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. I've grown up with pets my entire life and have always had animals in my home, including dogs, cats, and even hamsters. Today, I'm the proud owner of a playful Maine Coon kitten and a sweet Miniature Schnauzer, so I understand that every pet has their own unique personality, routine, and needs. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, belly rubs, or simply relaxing with someone nearby, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet because that's exactly what I'd want for my own. I'll treat your furry family member like they're part of my own family and keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you always know how they're doing. By profession I'm a registered nurse, and I'm doing Rover because I genuinely love spending time with animals. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I genuinely enjoy spending my free time with animals. As a registered nurse, my schedule varies throughout the week, but I know my shifts well in advance and keep my Rover calendar updated. On my days off, I have plenty of time for walks, drop-in visits, playtime, and giving your pets the attention they deserve. My goal is to provide reliable, consistent care while working around your pet's normal routine Your pet's safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. I always follow each owner's instructions carefully, whether that's feeding schedules, medications, exercise, or favorite toys and routines. During walks, I'll keep dogs securely leashed and avoid unsafe situations, and during drop-in visits I'll make sure your pet has fresh water, food, attention, and plenty of affection. I'll also send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for while you're away.

About: I stand out as a sitter because I bring 35 years of devoted cat care, including confident medication handling and gentle senior‑cat support. I understand the routines, patience, and comfort older cats need to thrive. While I don’t have extensive dog experience, I’m comfortable with small‑dog care and follow instructions closely to ensure they feel safe and well‑looked‑after. I care for pets in a calm, reliable way that fits their routine, whether I’m in my home or yours. Because I’m newly retired, I have a flexible schedule that lets me give unhurried attention, follow feeding and medication needs closely, and keep cats and small dogs comfortable in a familiar, low‑stress environment. If you want, I can make it even more streamlined by focusing on your flexible availability or your care routine. I provide calm, reliable care in my home or yours, keeping pets on their normal routine. With a flexible retired schedule, I can give steady attention and make sure cats and small dogs stay comfortable and stress‑free. If you want, I can make it even tighter by focusing on your flexible availability or your care routine.

About: WALKING & DROP-INS ONLY I strive to give my pet parents the best photos of their babies! Check out my photos to see some of the results! 🫶🏻 I have experience with amputees, post-op, dogs with anxiety, puppies, and senior dogs (my 16 year old tripawd chihuahua passed away recently 💔). I have experience administering medication, feeding hard and soft food (refrigerated, heated up or at room temperature), managing a post-surgery cone, suture observation, providing assistance navigating the home, and easing fears when they arise. I have experience taking care of Dachshunds, English Bulldogs, French Bulldogs, Great Danes, Huskies, Labs, Golden Retrievers, Yorkies, Spaniels, Mixed Breed dogs in a variety of sizes, and cats. I’m available ☔️ or ☀️ maybe even ❄️ but not 🌪️. Although I’m no longer boarding, I predominantly work from home so Rover fits well into my schedule. I’m unavailable on Monday and Tuesdays but am flexible on other days. I would care for anyone’s pet the same way I would care for my own, with the most love, care, and respect for the animal as possible. If I’m in the client’s home, I would follow the client’s instructions on how to best serve the animal while I’m there.

About: I have been a pet sitter since I was 13 years old and then started working at an animal shelter in high school and loved it. I have experience with medication administration(including asthma treatments), reactive dogs, and dog training. I’m currently working full time as an EMT so I am available on my days off as well as after 7 pm when I get off work(I have a rotating schedule). I have two black cats at home named Jinx and Milo. I will make sure to take care of food, water, medication, and any other tasks needed to keep your babies happy. I also don’t mind grabbing the mail or taking in the trash.

About: I've loved dogs for as long as I can remember. Whether they need a nice long walk, some time playing fetch, casual company, or some pets. I'm your guy. I have experience with puppies all the way to senior dogs who need special care or administering medication. I'm currently working from home so I am free for dog walks throughout the day and even boarding on weeknights or weekends. Feel free to book with me and even set up a recurring visit. I currently live in an apartment with my cat, Squeak. I work from home so I'm free to take your pet on walks throughout the day as they need and I'll treat them like one of my own. I can crate them as-needed or let them relax in my home if they're house trained.

“We were so fortunate to have found John to care for our kitty girl Sonora on short notice! Now that we’ve found him, we will be using him for all of our future travels. His flexibility and communication was outstanding, and it was immediately evident how much Sonora loved him and felt comfortable in his care, as he sent frequent updates, photos and videos of her… many of which featured cuddles and purrs from Sonora who seems to have found a new BFF in John. Our kitty prefers extra attention during the day to keep her feeling happy and loved when we are away (especially as she is a covid kitty in a WFH house), and John provided just that and more. He has a way with cats, even those with some special needs like our girl, and also shared some helpful tips for us to try with our girl given his own cat expertise. Can’t recommend John enough! If you are considering using him to care for your critters, look no further. Expect peace of mind and lots of precious updates as you travel!”

We really appreciated the thoughtful photos and detailed updates after each visit—they made it easy to see that our dog was happy and well cared for.

Nhi took care of my baby, Leo, twice a day during 30 minute drop-in visits from July 17–19, and she did a great job! She made sure he had his wet/dry food, cleaned his litter box, gave him supervised balcony time, and spent time playing with him each visit. She followed all of my instructions perfectly and even checked in with me when Leo decided he wanted a little extra food. 😊 The photos she sent after every visit are screensaver worthy!

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Willow Creek

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Willow Creek is $24 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $39 per visit. 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 2,637 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Willow Creek. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.

House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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 .

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.

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 .

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

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.

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.
