“This was my first experience using a house sitter. I was extremely apprehensive at first but upon meeting Teresa my apprehensions were put to rest. During her stay, Teresa kept an open line of communication and kept me informed of how everyone was doing. She gave me plenty of pics to reassure me that all was well. I am pleased with the quality of service Teresa provided.”
About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has always been something I truly enjoy. My family has always said that one of my best qualities is how naturally I connect with animals. I have a calm, patient, and loving personality, and I treat every pet with kindness and respect. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing outside, or just having someone to keep them company, I’m happy to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I know every pet has their own personality and routine, so I’ll follow your instructions carefully and give your furry friend the same care and attention I would give my own. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision, and my goal is to make both you and your pet feel comfortable. I’ll always provide dependable care, lots of affection, and updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Pet care fits well into my schedule because I currently work a part-time job, which gives me plenty of flexibility throughout the week. I’ll also be starting community college soon, but I’ll only be attending classes two days a week. This allows me to dedicate time to walking, playing with, and caring for pets while making sure they receive the attention and love they deserve. I’m dependable, organized, and committed to providing reliable care. Whether your pet needs a daily walk, drop-in visits, or extra attention while you’re away, I’ll make sure they’re safe, happy, and well cared for. I understand how important routines are for pets, and I’ll always do my best to accommodate your schedule and your pet’s individual needs. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I always make their safety, comfort, and happiness my top priorities. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, fresh water, medication if needed, and any special instructions provided by the owner. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection so they feel comfortable while their family is away. I also keep their environment clean, watch for any changes in their behavior, and provide regular updates so owners can have peace of mind. I treat every pet with the same love, patience, and care that I would give to my own.
“Karen is a superstar! The dogs loved her and so did we! Karen is extremely knowledgeable when it comes to dog behaviors and personalities. It was our pleasure to have her watch Temple and Bandit over the weekend.”
“Melissa and her family are great!! We have a challenging puppy and she can give anyone a run for their money. Melissa was up for the challenge and handled our girl in stride. She was great with communication before and during the stay. Melissa checked in daily with photos and reports of our girls behavior and progress. We brought her home tired out and thats pretty hard to do with a 9 month old bloodhound. We appreciate Melissa and will definitely be using her again. 100% Recommend!!”
About: I have been around dogs my whole life. Dogs seem to take to me well. I’ve worked as a junior groomer for a few months and trained my own dog. Not professionally, but he listens and understands. I’ve always loved dogs and been an animal person! I have an almost 4 month old baby so I have been a SAHM. I love to work and would like to help my family more. This way I can be at home loving on my son and also your fur babies! We just moved into our forever home due to my husband being retired Navy. We got married in Hawaii where he was stationed and I grew up. Our neighborhood was military and I would watch peoples dogs, board, check ins, walks. I worked at a doggie daycare and became close with a client who would bring her dog over to me to watch instead. Also, became very close with some people in the neighborhood whom I’ve take care of their dogs and now can say are friends like family!

“Mardi did an incredible job taking care of our cats and home while we were away for a week! She followed our instructions perfectly, sent regular updates and photos, and left our house in even better condition than when she arrived. I’m usually a little anxious about leaving the cats when we travel, but I was able to relax and enjoy our trip knowing everything was safe in her hands. I will absolutely book her again the next time we need a cat sitter!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Willow Oaks
We were so happy that Monica was available again to house sit! She is so good with animals and our dog Cadi loves her! Our new dog took to her almost immediately and was cuddling with her on the couch. She spends lots of time with our pets and shares photos. We have no concerns leaving our pets or our house in Monica's hands! This was the 5th time she's pet sit for us and every experience has been good, will definitely reach out to her in the future!

FAQs for House Sitting - Willow Oaks
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 426 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Willow Oaks. 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 Oaks 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 Oaks 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 Oaks 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.

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.
