“Bailey was an available on last minute notice. I arrived to my destination out of town only to realize I had booked the wrong dates! What had me panicking, Bailey jumped in and took the stress away. It’s so reassuring not to have to worry about my puppies at home knowing they’re with Bailey.”
“We’ve needed a reliable pet sitter for years, especially now that our pups are getting older. Cynthia is the best pet sitter we’ve ever had. She took great care of our home and our old babies while we were away and went above and beyond our expectations. She was also incredibly kind about one of the dogs eating a toy that upset their stomach. We were able to enjoy our trip and not have to worry about our fur babies one bit!”
About: I’ve been an animal enthusiast my entire life—if I could, I’d adopt every animal at the shelter! Growing up, I cared for a variety of pets, from rabbits and fish to birds, cats, and dogs. This lifelong experience has given me a deep understanding of the unique needs of our furry (and feathered!) companions. In addition to my love for animals, I’ve spent over a decade as a caregiver for my mother, who has a traumatic brain injury, and worked professionally in the caregiving field. This experience has taught me patience, responsibility, and the importance of providing compassionate, reliable care. Whether it’s preparing meals, administering medications, or managing daily tasks, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your loved ones—including your pets. Caring for animals brings me so much joy, and I would love to offer you peace of mind while you’re away. Whether you’re at work or on vacation, your fur babies will be cared for like family. Let me help you by doing what I love most—providing top-notch care for your pets! I currently work from home right now so I have all day and night to spend time, love and play with your fur baby. 🥰 I care for your fur babies just like I would for my own fur baby. I am very alert, loving, caring and only provide the best care. I am a health and wellness coach so I only use the best DIY and holistic care and do not use any toxic chemical products or foods. My last pup passed from cancer so I have decided to have our whole house toxic free!
About: Hi, I'm Haley and I have over 10 years of experience as a veterinary technician. I have had the pleasure of working with a range of animals including cats and dogs. I am skilled in medication administration as well as animal behavior and handling. It would be a pleasure to be part of your pets care team. I currently have a flexible schedule and am available for walks, drop in visits and overnight stays. I look forward to working with your pet(s)! I will work with you to provide excellent care for your pet within your own home. I am willing to take dogs in my home as long as they get along well with my own dogs and cat. I am unable to watch cats within my home at this time.
About: Hi! My name is Libby, and caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I attended a technical school for Animal Science, where I gained valuable knowledge about animal care and handling. Growing up, I’ve had a wide variety of pets, including dogs, cats, guinea pigs, hamsters, rats, fish, hermit crabs, bearded dragons, geckos, and degus. Having experience with so many different animals has taught me that every pet has their own unique personality, needs, and routines. I understand how important it is to make pets feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m patient, responsible, and passionate about providing the best care possible for every animal. Whether your pet loves going on walks, playing, getting lots of attention, or simply relaxing with a little extra company, I’m happy to meet them where they are and make sure they feel at home. I know pets are family, and I would treat your furry (or scaly!) friend with the same love, kindness, and care I would give my own. I can’t wait to meet you and your pets! I work from home Monday through Friday, which allows me to offer your pets plenty of attention, care, and companionship throughout the day. I can easily fit in regular check-ins, feeding, playtime, walks, and potty breaks while maintaining a flexible schedule to meet your pet’s needs. I understand how important it is to feel confident that your furry family members are in loving, reliable hands, and I’ll treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, happy, comfortable, and loved while you’re away! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities! Since I work from home Monday through Friday, I can provide plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. When caring for pets in their own home, I do my best to maintain their normal routines, follow feeding and care instructions closely, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable in their familiar environment. I respect your home, keep things clean and secure, and provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind. I want every pet parent to feel confident knowing their furry family member is in caring, trustworthy hands!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends, and family have always relied on me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets, as well as provide plenty of love and attention. At home, I’ve cared for my own pets daily ensuring they’re happy, healthy, and well groomed. I also volunteer with the SMU feral cat community, helping feed, monitor, and care for stray cats on campus. My experience spans from puppies and kittens to senior pets, and I’m comfortable with all temperaments and sizes. Schedule: I’m currently working part time and have a flexible schedule that allows me plenty of time to care for cats throughout the day. I regularly help care for SMU’s feral cat community, so I’m used to feeding, socializing, and checking on cats at different times. I’m available for visits and drop ins most weekdays after 2 PM and weekends all day. I prioritize a safe, calm, and clean environment for every pet and always follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, and any specific care instructions. I make sure spaces are secure, remove hazards, and monitor pets for any changes in behavior. I currently have a puppy (a bichonpoo) and understand the importance of both love and structure. My motto is “life is too short let them sleep on the bed,” but I also believe discipline is key in shaping well behaved dogs. I’m happy to bring my puppy along for companionship if approved, but I always ask first since I respect that every pet and owner has different boundaries.
About: Growing up in me old neighborhood all my neighbors would come to me to take care of their pets when they went out on vacations because they saw how much I really loved to be around animals and how much I knew about how to care for them. I’ve come home from college and now I’m working part time usually in the morning meaning I have time throughout the day to watch over and care for new pets! I have a fenced yard outside a pretty spacious interior and younger siblings who love animals as much as I do that will keep your fur baby entertained!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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 Spring 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 Spring 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 Spring 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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
