“Brooke stayed with our dog while we were out of town for a few days and she was great! Brooke was super responsive to my messages and knowing she has experience working at a vet clinic put my mind at ease. We would love to have her care for our dog again!”
“Joy was fantastic! She did a wonderful job sending lots of pictures and keeping me updated. There was a winter storm while we were gone and she thought ahead to make sure we had flashlights set out as well as knew how to manually access the girls’ automatic feeders in case power was lost. It’s the first time I’ve bee able to travel without stressing about my kitties. The girls definitely have a new best friend….they may even like her more than me now lol.”
“Katrin was absolutely great with Daisy! We felt so much better knowing Daisy was being cared for, and we felt very lucky to have her watching Daisy in our home. Especially with Daisy still being a puppy, we didn’t want to move her around, so having someone stay with her made a huge difference. Katrin was wonderful about sharing updates and videos throughout the stay, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. Daisy loved playing with her and was genuinely sad to see her go. We would highly recommend Katrin to anyone looking for a caring, reliable pet sitter!”
“Winter was amazing and cared for all 3 of our pups. We received pictures while she was caring for them and had great communication with us. Thank you so much again for caring for our pups! I definitely recommend Winter and will likely book her again in future if she’s available.”
“Avery stayed with my pups while I was out of town. They can be a handful, and Avery handles them with ease! I’ve never come home to such calm dogs after a weekend away. Highly recommend!”
“Brandon was wonderful house sitting with Maddie. He was friendly and sweet with Maddie. He followed my instructions for Maddie very well and sent plenty of updates with pictures. He was respectful of my home and belongings and responsive to texts. Maddie seemed to be well cared for after spending time with Maddie in my home. I would definitely invite Brandon to house sit or care for Maddie in the future!”
“Alessandria did a great job keeping my dogs safe and happy. I appreciate that she was able to be flexible on times as I wasn't sure with the weather if we were going to make it back on time. The house was left neat and tidy, and she helped prepare for a bad winter storm coming.”

“Highly recommend Zachary for any pet sitting needs! Our regular dog sitter canceled on us last minute, and Zachary responded very quickly to help us out. He was great with the dogs, communicated well, followed any house and pet instructions perfectly and sent us updates throughout the stay. Most importantly, he kept our 2 crazy boxers entertained and cared for! We came home to 2 happy dogs. Needless to say, we’ve found our new regular dog sitter!”
“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!”
“Not that I'd suggest doing so but Nick was able to take care of my two dogs on a one day notice due to a last-minute change in an out-of-town doctor's appointment I had to go to. He visited with me the day I reached out to him to meet the dog's and determine how best to meet their needs. He texted me a couple of times while I was away to let me know how things were going, and I feel very comfortable in letting him care for them again when the need arises - hopefully next time with more advance notice! Thank you Nick”
“Carmack did an excellent job taking care of our cat Wesley and the house while we were out of town. He sent us updates & photos regularly, and he left the house clean and organized. We will definitely asked for his services again.”
“Hayley house sat for my pets for 5 days. I have four pets, one being a 5 month old GSD/Malinois puppy and Hayley did wonderfully. I got photo updates every meal time and little tidbits of their day and funny things they’d do. I know they all got one on one time, which I really appreciate as well. She took care of them like they were her own and she really took all of their little quirks/tricks/mealtimes in and followed them accordingly! I have a pretty shy cat that warmed up to Hayley within a day, which is rather impressive! She left our house clean and made sure all of our babies had water. Tina and Kai (our dogs) were tuckered out too (which is amazing). Overall 11/10 and will be rebooking if I go out of town again. All of my animals were rather happy and well taken care of!”
“Meredith took amazing care of our home, cat, and chickens and ducks! She was proactive and resolved issues that came up when baby chicks were escaping from their coop. She sent us photos everyday and gave a detailed daily update so we knew how everything was going. We came home to a spotless house and very happy animals!”
“Korrin was amazing! She went above and beyond when taking care of my animals. She left the apartment spotless and was super responsive and diligent about my animals care. 1000% recommend”
“This is the second time Salem has pet-sat for me. She's very good at communicating and sending updates. She keeps the house nice and tidy and is very trustworthy. My dog seems very happy when Salem's taking care of her.”
“I recently booked Jake for a last minute trip out of town, and he was fantastic with my two dogs. He quickly scheduled a meet and greet, and the dogs took to him immediately. One of my pups can get fairly rowdy, and Jake handled him very well. He sent consistent updates while I was gone, and the dogs were happy and tired when I got back. He was also very considerate while staying at my house- I could barely tell he had been there. I am usually nervous when leaving the dogs with a sitter, but I didn’t worry at all over my weekend away. I would absolutely re-book with Jake and definitely recommend him!”
“Nina watched our dog for four weeks while we were out of town. She did a great job. He can be weird with new people sometimes, and he took right to her when they met. When we got back from our trip, he was relaxed, happy and healthy. I would definitely recommend Nina if you want a good pet sitter.”
About: Hey dog pawmily! I’m Hadassah! I’ve honestly been caring for animals since I was a child and have experience with a wide variety of pets including multiple dogs, four cats, a bunny, fish, and three parakeets. Caring for so many different animals has truly taught me patience, responsibility, and truly how to meet each pet’s unique needs. I have and solely take care of my one dog, Diogee, who is a 3 year old Maltese-Shitzu mix and enjoys meeting new friends. Having my dog, Diogee, by my side throughout my transition as a transfer student in my senior year at UNC chapel hill has shown me just how important pets are to our lives. Hopefully your dog will either have the opportunity to meet/walk/play with me (yay!) or stay in my safe HOA home located in a quiet, dog-friendly neighborhood with great walking areas and a new dog park currently being built nearby. I, Hadassah, can assure you that when your dog is cared for by me, they’ll be treated with the same care and patience that I give my own. 🐾❤️ Pet care fits naturally into my routine since I care for my own dog, Diogee, every day. 🐶 I'm available for dog walks, drop-in visits, and boarding depending on availability. In my home, pets will receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, fresh cool water, meals according to their schedule, and a safe, pet-friendly environment. In a client’s home, I follow all care instructions to help pets stay comfortable in their familiar surroundings and maintain their normal routine.

Julie was great with our Katrina. She was very accommodating regarding scheduling and Katrina loved her. She gave us peace of mind as we were travelling and did not want to leave Katrina alone while we went out. We would absolutely use Julie again and highly recommend her as a sitter.

Especially with Daisy still being a puppy, we didn’t want to move her around, so having someone stay with her made a huge difference.

We would highly recommend Katrin to anyone looking for a caring, reliable pet sitter!
Adrienne took care of our 2 fur babies (puppies) while we took a very needed break to the beach with friends. Adrienne stayed in touch, sent us pics and seemed to handle both dogs with ease, when both dogs have their own idiosyncrasies! We were happy with Adrienne's care and would definitely book her again!

FAQs for House Sitting - Willow Ridge
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Willow Ridge on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 2,612 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Willow Ridge. 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 Ridge 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 Ridge 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 Ridge 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.
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.
