About: Hello! My name is Marshall and I am a primary cat groomer as well as dog groomer. I am passionate about the care and comfort of pets and pet parents alike and I strive to create a welcoming, comfortable, and gentle environment. I am experienced in administering medications, senior care, as well as general basic training. Currently, I own 2 cats and 1 dog that I have raised since each were kittens/puppy! Pet care is incredibly important and I am passionate to work with pets! I currently work part time however, since I do create my own hours, I am incredibly flexible and can work with your needed care hours. My kitties have free rein of the house since they are older and are house broken. My puppy is only 9.5 months old and requires full supervision and is crated whenever she is unable to be supervised. We go out every 1-2 hours for walks, hikes multiple times a week, as well as designated training and play time daily. My goal is to create a strong bond with my babies as they are essentially my children. I treat all pet clients as if they were my own (very loved)

“Victoria stayed in our home to take care of our dog Mika. She was very conscientious and respectful of place and took great care of Mika. Victoria spent most of the day with Mika so she wasn’t alone. We returned to a very calm and relaxed pup. Victoria is a good communicator, anytime she had a question or concern she was quick to let me know. We won’t hesitate to use Victoria again.”

“Nelly was fantastic and took great care of my two dogs while I was away on vacation! Great communication -Nelly reached out the day she was to arrive to confirm the start time and the day I was returning to confirm when I’d be getting home. She also provided updates while I was away. The dogs definitely enjoyed her because they looked for her in the guest room for the next few days wondering where she was.”

“We can’t recommend Sara enough! She recently cared for our two dogs, Frankie and Lulu, as well as our fish, and went above and beyond by making sure the bird feeder was stocked for the wild birds. Her attentiveness and thoughtfulness were evident from day one. She sent us daily updates and plenty of pictures of Frankie and Lulu, which kept us reassured and connected while we were away. It was clear Sara treated our home and pets as if they were her own. Frankie and Lulu were happy and relaxed when we returned, and everything in the house was spotless. Knowing our pets were in such good hands made our time away completely stress-free. We’re so grateful for Sara and would absolutely trust her again in the future!”

“I can’t say enough great things about Elizabeth! From start to finish, she provided exceptional care for my dog, treating them like family. She was attentive, reliable, and went above and beyond to ensure my pup was happy, safe, and well-loved. Communication was excellent—I received regular updates, photos, and videos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that Elizabeth truly cares about animals and understands their unique needs. My dog came back happy, relaxed, and well-exercised, which is the best sign of a fantastic sitter! If you’re looking for a responsible, trustworthy, and loving person to care for your pet, look no further. I will definitely be booking with Elizabeth again in the future!”

About: I’ve had dogs of my own my whole life. I’ve been taking care of others’ dogs for many years. I have experience with various breeds and sizes. Willing to do occasional jobs or recurring ones. I had to put set prices into my profile, but willing to discuss. I’m currently working part time and have a very flexible schedule. I am available any weekday and, with notice, can be available on weekends as well. I do not provide care in my home, but would love to come to your home where your dogs are most comfortable. I will provide any care needed- letting out in a fenced yard, taking for walks, feeding, administering meds, etc.

About: Hello! My name is Kaylee, I am 23 years old and my biggest personality trait is my love for animals. If you were to ask someone who knows me, they may say “that girl with the zoo? I currently have 5 pets, who I consider my children, and that is the least amount of animals I have ever owned at once. (Only due to apartment living.) Caring for animals is my comfort and passion, it truly brings me joy. I have never lived a day without pets- and I don’t want to, so, I focused my career around them. However, I’m still in search of more! I am currently a manager at a dog boarding facility part time, and I love my job, but I would love to find more local work. At my facility, I am currently managing multiple groups of up to 20 free ranged dogs at a time. I have worked with nearly every dog breed out there, and I have loved them all. I have experience in handling many medical conditions in dogs, such as anxiety, allergies, seizures, joint issues, diabetes, asthma, and many more. I also have experience in administering a multitude of medications, including inhalers and insulin. I am currently working part time, and my work days are typically the same each week. I am unavailable on my work days during hours 4 AM- 3 PM, but I would love to work with you any other time! The approach I take to care for a pet depends on the pets temperament and needs. As I have probably met over 2,000 dogs at this point- I understand that each dog is different. Some may want constant affection, and I’m more than happy to give that! However, I know that some pets appreciate their space, or need to be taken slowly with.

“Laila was incredible! My boys had the best time with her. They went on so many walks, had so much play time, and received an abundance of attention. Both of them pull quite a bit on their walks, and she got them to relax and enjoy the scenery! Not only that, she managed to tire my super energetic 6 y/o out (which is basically impossible) Laila sent a bunch of pictures & videos & remained extremely responsive the entire time. If I could leave her more than 5 stars, I would!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 8 years, and it’s something I genuinely love. I’ve worked with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and care. I also have experience caring for dogs with medical needs, so I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions, administering medications, and paying close attention to any changes in behavior or comfort. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, and care for their pets, and I always treat every dog like they’re my own. I prioritize keeping their routine consistent so they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I also have volunteered in the past with being a temporary foster for shelter/rescue dogs. I also have volunteered with driving dogs in rescues to their medical appointments. I’m reliable, communicative, and respectful of your home and your pet’s needs. Whether your dog needs a long walk, extra attention, or more specialized care, I’m here to help. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give your dog the time, attention, and consistency they need. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and sitting throughout the week, with more open availability in the afternoons and evenings. I do my best to accommodate your pet’s routine and can provide reliable, timely care you can count on. Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I take the time to understand each dog’s routine, personality, and any specific needs including medical care or medications. I follow instructions closely and keep a watchful eye on behavior to ensure your dog feels secure and well cared for. In your home, I’m respectful of your space and maintain a calm, clean environment. On walks, I stay attentive, avoid unsafe situations, and ensure your dog is always secure. I’m also happy to provide updates so you feel at ease while you’re away.

About: Hi, I’m Tess! I live in Charles Town, WV with my two-year-old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Louie, and two cats, Tatiana and Rudy — so your pet is walking into a home that already loves animals. I take a slow, easy approach to dog care. I let dogs sniff, wander, and just be themselves, whether we’re doing a neighborhood walk, a quick potty break, or a longer trail outing. Every walk is just two dogs at most, so your pup gets real time and attention. I always send photo updates along the way so you can see how they’re doing. I welcome dogs of all sizes who are friendly with other dogs, cats, and people. For boarding, I have a large fenced backyard and keep things small and relaxed — more like a home than a kennel. I also offer occasional house sitting for dogs who are happiest in their own space. I’d love to meet your pup! Feel free to reach out to check availability or set up a meet-and-greet. Fridays are my day off, so walks are unhurried and get my full attention. For boarding, I'm home all weekend, so any dog staying with me has someone around rather than sitting alone in an empty house. Dogs staying with me have access to a large fenced backyard and are never left alone outside. Inside, I keep a calm, low-stimulation environment. My Cavalier Louie lives here full time, so any boarding dog will be introduced to him gradually and supervised until I'm confident they're comfortable together. I do a meet and greet with Louie before confirming any boarding stay. For house sitting, I follow the owner's routine as closely as possible so the dog's environment feels as normal as it can while they're away. Photo updates are sent throughout any service.

“Kim is awesome. She house sat and watched our dog for two weeks while we traveled around. She took out garbage, hung out with the dog and kept the house running while we celebrated the holidays with family out of state. She was awesome with the dog, frequently sending photos and keeping him happy. She walked him multiple times a day, played fetch with him the backyard so he could get out zoomies and snuggled with him at night. She also kept tabs on all of our packages and mail. Both the house and dog were in great hands while we were away!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Willow Lake

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 1,347 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Willow Lake. 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 Lake 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 Lake 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 Lake 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Willow Lake. 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.
