“Once again, Yvonne was wonderful! She stayed at our house with 3 dogs for an extended weekend. Have lots of updates and doesn’t hesitate to reach out if she has a question. We could tell when we got home that the dogs were very comfortable with her all weekend. Will definitely book with her again!!”
About: From training four puppies from birth to senior citizenship, I've always loved dogs and they seem drawn to me. I want you to enjoy your vacation while your fur baby is being loved and having fun in their home away from home. Experienced with specialty diets, medication dispensing and senior dog care. SAHM with three dog-loving children who are at school on weekdays. School routine starts around 6:30-7 a.m. and kids are gone by 8:30. I will take your fur baby outside for supervised morning, mid day, afternoon, late afternoon and evenings multiple times for exercise, walks, play time and potty breaks. I have a full privacy fence on a 3/4 acre lot, plenty of yard to run and play and take walks. If requested, I can come to your home multiple times a day for services needed such as potty breaks, walks, play-time, etc.
“Bailey was fantastic. She was friendly, polite, and very communicative from start to finish. If there was ever anything she was unsure about, she asked right away, which I really appreciated. She kept me updated on her comings and goings and sent photos — the dogs were clearly very comfortable with her and sleeping peacefully. She was thoughtful and checked in during a thunderstorm to see if the dogs needed anything, which meant a lot. I came home to a neat, tidy house and very happy animals. She gave me complete peace of mind without me having to constantly check in. I would absolutely use her again and highly recommend her.”
About: For as long as I can remember I have always had a dog right next to me. Never my own but I would always be the first one to offer to watch a dog, play with a dog, or to just sit and pet the dog. All animals have a very huge part of my heart. And I can assure you all animals will definitely feel loved if they are with me! I am currently in my last few weeks living in Georgia before I make my next big move to the western side of USA. So as of right now I have a very flexible schedule. I have a cleaning job but that’s very so often and it’s only a maximum of 4 hours that day. If I would need to take your dog anywhere I have an area set up for my dog that I will be gladly to use for yours. Dog seat cover right next to the window with a seatbelt for the dog. I also have a very friendly young dog who would absolutely love a play partner for the day.
About: I have years of experience with taking care of dogs from pups to grown adult dogs. I display patience and love to each and every dog. I am enlisted in the Air Force. I do typically have a good amount of free time for the doggies. If my schedule shows available then definitely shoot me a message! My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I understand every pet has their own personality and routine, so I take the time to follow your instructions closely. I can guarantee that your pet will be provided plenty of affection, attention, and exercise while making sure your pet always has fresh water and a clean, safe environment. Trust between the pet owner and sitter is everything, and I intend to gain the owners approval through exceptional pet care.
About: Experience with cats, dogs, and fishes! Love to spend time making them feel loved and exercised. On my own, I love exploring nature and going on walks. I would love to take more fur babies on walking adventure with me! I also have done plenty of successful drop-in visits. I have made sure the home was good and ready for you to come home and enjoy your pets! I am ready to learn so I can best suit you and your pet's needs. I am currently a full-time student and spend most of my days studying. I am willing to take my study breaks at any point throughout the day to help care for your pets. I am available all seven days and able to work early morning, afternoon, and nighttime shifts. I currently do not have a pet at home, but I have worked with crate-trained and free-roaming pets, so I am prepared to help keep your pets safe and secure in their home environment. I will not be able to work overnight shifts, but I am able to stop by to check in on your pet(s) as many times as needed.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Willow Run
I honestly cannot say enough wonderful things about our pet Yvonne! Leaving Jameson and Bella in someone else’s care is not something I take lightly, but from the very beginning, I felt completely comfortable and confident that they were in great hands. Yvonne treated Jameson and Bella like her own—not just as pets, but as part of the family. I loved getting updates and knowing they were happy, comfortable, and well cared for while I was away. It gave me such peace of mind knowing someone was there who genuinely cared about them and their individual personalities. Jameson and Bella absolutely loved their time with her, and that says everything! 🐾❤️ You can tell when someone is simply doing a job versus when they truly LOVE animals, and this is definitely someone who has a heart for pets. Reliable, caring, trustworthy, attentive, and absolutely wonderful with my fur babies. I wouldn't hesitate for a second to recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their pets. Thank you for taking such amazing care of Jameson and Bella! We will definitely be using you again! 🐶🐾❤️
Erica was GREAT!! I was super worried about leaving my fur babies for a week. We did a meet and greet beforehand, and I was so surprised how well my pupper took to her. Erica got down on the floor with her and even brought her treats! She kept us informed while we were gone and sent pictures which put me at ease. I’ve already rebooked her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Willow Run is $56 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $56 and $56 per night. 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 158 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Willow Run. 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 Run 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 Run 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 Run 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Willow Run. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
