“Winter did a great job taking care of our 4 cats. I really appreciate how easy the whole process was and how well Winter communicated and kept us posted while we were away. Thanks so much!”
“Ruth was a wonderful sitter for our cats while we were away on vacation! She left us fun and detailed notes about the visits that were truly appreciated. She seemed to really understand our cats needs and personalities in order to offer exceptional care. She was kind, responsive, and sent adorable photos of the cats as well. She even brought in our mail and was attentive to clean the cat’s dishes. We will definitely be reaching out to her for future vacations!”
“Kelly was able to accommodate us last minute for a drop in visit for our pup. She was prompt and followed our instructions for our senior boy. We would highly recommend!”
“We needed last minute drop-in care for 3 7-week old puppies and Miyu was great. We could tell the puppies were well taken care of & everything was super clean, neat and tidy. Will definitely book with her again!”
About: I’ve pet sat my friends animals, and they’ve had so many! Senior dogs that have accidents and have behavioral issues. Exotic pets, of many kids. Every morning, I fill the cat and water bowl in my room, weekly I clean the bowls. For my dogs, whenever my parents don’t feed them cause they are out, I feed them and fill their water. I brush their coats, and try to give them baths every few weeks or so! However the pet parents would like, but I care for what is best for their health. I understand each pet is different and needs different things. I can bathe the animals depending on behavior, my right leg doesn't haven't as much feeling since surgery and cant handle a lot of big pressure.
About: All my life, I've had dogs and cats as part of my family. I have a lot of experience with caring for puppies and older dogs and cats as well as feeding, walking, bathing, and playing with other's pets. I'm currently working a part-time job which lets me keep my schedule open and flexible. I'm available mornings and evenings most week days and weekends. Typically, I do my best to keep the pet's routine the same (walking, playing, and feeding times) as well as keeping to special instructions, such as administering medicine or training methods. I'm neat and clean and make sure to keep people's homes tidy with both day visits and overnights. Also, I give people daily updates on their pets while they're away, including photos and daily check-in texts.
About: I've taken care of animals since I was 7 years old. What sets me apart is the genuine care I give to every pet. I focus on personalized attention, clear communication with owners, and creating a calm, loving environment so pets feel safe and happy while you're away. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I schedule my day around visits, walks, feeding times, and play so each pet gets reliable care and attention. I treat every pet like family. I follow their usual routine for meals, walks, and playtime so they feel comfortable while their owner is away. I also provide lots of attention, love, supervision and updates so both pets and owners feel safe and at ease.
“Kim is very friendly, courteous and polite. My dogs immediately took a liking to Kim and showed her how comfortable they were with her while holding them in her arms. As soon as my dogs were placed on Kim's lap, they stopped barking (usually a constant barkers) and became calm. Kim's secure, loving affection she conveys has a valuable impact to my dogs' temperaments.”
About: I have taken care of many dogs and cats, from high school to present, when friends and relatives have relied on me to walk dogs and change litter boxes. Now, I love to play with my friends' dogs and go for walks around the neighborhood! I am currently on research time in residency which means more flexibility, working partially from home, and more time to take care of your pets! My schedule varies week to week, and include time working from homes and gaps when I can take pets on walks. I have a fenced in back yard and fairly spacious one bedroom in a walkable neighborhood, centrally located, and perfect for a walk around the block, leisurely long stroll, or multiple night stay! For walks, I also like to go to Eno state park or other nearby trails to tire your pup (and myself) out. For pet sitting in your house, I am organized, respectful, and clean. Your pet will get lots of play time and belly rubs!
About: I can’t have a pup of my own so caring for other people’s dogs is what I love to do! I have boarded a dog for 8 months in the past and continue to house and dog sit whenever the opportunity arises. I have 5 years of dog handling experience and I take pride in giving owners solid peace of mind so they can go about their day knowing their 4 legged family member is well taken care of. I understand that every dog is different and you can rest assure I will go over each and every detail concerning your pup. When I care for dogs, I treat them as my own, providing lots of love and attention. I promise to treat your pup as you would, a day full of walks and belly rubs.
“Maisie absolutely loves Raquel, and she was able to come last minute with no issues! She goes above and beyond when hanging out with my dog, and I know Maisie is in good hands when Raquel is there!”
About: Dog mom to 4 dogs in my adulthood. Recently lost my soul dog who was a 13 year old collie-lab rescue. Dogs are family to me. 2 day minimum stay. I work part-time. Depending on the day care is needed, your dog may have to be left crated for 6-8 hours. Fully available on most weekends. Ask about availability during the week as my work schedule varies. Must be house broken and leash friendly. I do not have a fenced in yard. 2 day minimum stay Dog walking, boarding. We live in a neighborhood perfect for walking dogs- low traffic, quiet. Unusual to walk around the block without seeing neighbors walking their pups.
About: I rescued a dog at 5 years old and cared for him till he was 10 years old. He battled with an uncurable disease for the last four years of his life. I fought till the end to make him comfortable and happy. He had a lot of dietary restrictions and challenging personality traits including separation anxiety and selective dog aggression. I grew up with a dog that was my 5th grade birthday present. We rescued him and he had food aggression. I am willing and capable of watching other dogs with unique needs. I currently own two german shepherds! 1 is almost 2 years old and I have had the him since he was 8 weeks. I have survived potty training and teething. We are now in the teenage years. The other is 6 years old and I rescued him two years ago. He has epilepsy and is an alpha. I have done a lot of training with him as well. I also have a cat who is BFF with my dogs. I work from home and have typical office hours. I am available to watch pets while I work or board them over night. I have two dogs of my own so your dog will have a set routine still while they stay with me. I have a townhouse with a small fenced yard that my dogs love. My dogs are crate trained and have an extra crate if that is preferred. I can crate your dog at night / when I'm not home or they can roam freely. I will do whatever your dog and you are comfortable with. I treat your dog like they are mine and will follow any special instructions you may have. My goal is to make sure they are comfortable and safe while you are away. I believe in positive reinforcement and training and that these dogs are our babies.
About: I've had dogs for over 15 years and a cat for almost 10 years and love taking care of them. I currently have 1 older cat living with me and he is very kept to himself. He's a sweet little guy who isn't bothered by other animals as long as they don't bother him! My availability is any time between classes which are scattered throughout my week. This is a small part time job I've taken for fun while going through my medical school journey so I spend most of my time studying. However, I will happily take your pet to a nice study spot! I'd also love to spend my study breaks on walks or runs with your furry baby! I am very flexible with timing and cancellations. Though I don't have professional experience, I have been around animals all my life. I'm very good at following directions and love learning new things. If the dog has special necessities, I am willing to accommodate. Pet care fits naturally into my routine as a student. I often take dogs with me to quiet, dog‑friendly study spots, and I use my study breaks for walks, playtime, or runs. Because my class schedule is scattered, I’m very flexible throughout the week and can adjust care times as needed. Spending time with pets is a fun and refreshing part of my day. I care for pets by sticking closely to their regular routine and following all instructions for feeding, walks, meds, and special needs. I make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and comfort through walks, playtime, or relaxed hang‑out time. In my home, I have one older cat who mostly keeps to himself and does well around other animals as long as they don’t bother him. If needed, he can be comfortably kept separate in a bedroom he’s used to. I always aim to keep things calm, clean, and stress‑free for both pets and owners.
“Nina did a great job checking in on my cat, Socks! I was happy to find someone with such relevant experience - her own cat and Socks are similar in age and temperament. I left detailed instructions and Nina followed them well. When I returned from my trip, I was relieved to see that everything was in good order and that Socks had been in good hands. I am glad that things worked out on my first try with Rover and that I found a go-to cat sitter so quickly!”
About: Hi I’m Meg, I’ve been pet sitting and for over 5 years, and have done some fostering too! I LOVE animals and getting to know each individual personality. I also have a sweet little dog and indoor/outdoor cats who are very used to being around new dog friends (but mostly make themselves scarce when newcomers are around). I love to be active and outside, and prefer to take my long walks on the sand now that I live bt the coast! I understand pet ownership and the stress that can come with finding a trustworthy sitter who will be reliable and loving towards your pup, so I’m glad to provide some peace of mind to those looking for pet care. My husband and I tend to tag team our pet care jobs, as I work mornings and he works afternoons, so we are able to provide our clients with consistent, reliable care at any time of day. We both have extensive pet care experience and a big love for animals! Based on our clients home and preferences, we offer long walks or potty/playtime in their backyards. And if interested, we offer to bring our fun loving, dog friendly lab mix for extra play and enrichment!

Julie was absolutely wonderful with my cat! 🐱❤️ She was caring, responsible, and very attentive, and I felt completely comfortable knowing my cat was in such good hands. She kept me updated and treated my cat with so much love and patience. I truly appreciate all the care she provided and would definitely recommend Julie to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter. I would be very happy to have her care for my cat again!
Emeline was absolutely amazing with my two dogs. From the moment I hired her, I felt complete peace knowing they were in loving, attentive, and capable hands. She treated them with genuine care, patience, and warmth, like they were her own. I could tell my dogs were happy, calm, and well cared for when I returned, which speaks volumes about the trust and bond she created with them. Her communication was thoughtful, her presence reassuring, and her energy exactly what my dogs needed. I am beyond happy with Emeline and truly grateful for the care she provided. I would book her again without hesitation and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone exceptional to care for their pets.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Willow Ridge is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $19 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 November 2026, there are 4,678 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Willow Ridge. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Willow Ridge. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% 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.
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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
