“Miranda was very flexible with her schedule to accommodate our senior kitty’s needs. She posted detailed information about her visits and sent many photos. We felt very confidant that our cat was being well cared for. We would highly recommend Miranda for any pet sitting needs you may have and will definitely want to work with her again in the future!”
“Nicole is absolutely amazing to work with. She is so caring and dependable with both our cat & dog. Both pets love her and welcome her coming into the house to care for them. Thank you, Nicole.”
About: I’m a caring, patient, and responsible pet lover who understands that pets are part of the family. I know how important it is to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m happy to follow your pet’s usual routine, provide plenty of attention and playtime, and keep you updated with photos and messages. I’ll treat your pet with the same care and respect I’d want someone to give my own. I maintain a consistent weekly routine and value being dependable and organized. I work full-time during the week, but I plan my time carefully to make sure I can give pets the attention, exercise, and care they need. I’m happy to accommodate morning and evening walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and weekend care based on my availability. I understand that pets thrive on consistency, so I do my best to stick to their normal routines and keep owners updated while they’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are my top priorities. I take the time to understand each pet’s personality, routine, dietary needs, and any special instructions before providing care. I’m attentive, patient, and responsible, and I make sure pets are supervised appropriately and kept in a safe environment. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all care instructions carefully. I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is in good hands. I’ll treat your home with respect and care for your pet as if they were my own.
About: We lost our sweet Blue (11 year old labradoodle) 3 years ago of bone cancer, and have recently become empty nesters. We LOVE dogs, and our cat has missed his canine companion. Our yard is over an acre, and includes a wooded area. We are also located near beautiful trails that we can walk to. Both of us work from home the majority of the time, and we will only open our home up to furry house guests if we are sure that at least one of us is available to be home the majority of the day. Your dog will love the extra love and attention that they will receive, and we tend to be a bit lenient with letting dogs on furniture/beds. Most of our neighbors own dogs, and there are young children next door. That being said, a dog that is friendly with other dogs and not wary of children would LOVE a vacation with us. I am working part time, and my husband works at least 1/2 of the time from home. We are flexible with dog schedules, and have experience with "elderly" dogs with special needs. We have a large yard (over an acre), which is not fenced in. Our neighborhood connects to walking trails and parks, so your dog will have ample exercise opportunities. We are extremely flexible with our schedules, and can adapt to meet your dog's current routines.
“Paul did an excellent job caring for my dogs! He went above and beyond, even taking the time to clean up accidents and make sure everything was taken care of. He was incredibly patient, kind, and gentle with my elderly dogs, who have some special needs. I truly appreciated the care and attention he gave them. I highly recommend him and would absolutely have him care for my dogs again!”
“Olivia was great! My dog is a sweetheart to most everyone, but doesn't cuddle with anyone really other than me. Some of the photos Olivia shared showed my girl cuddling up to her and that was amazing! We have had many wonderful sitters on Rover, but none that my dog seemed this comfortable with. Olivia took great care of my dog and it was such a relief to have her help while we were away for the weekend. We will definitely be looking to use Olivia again in the future! Aside from the dog care itself, Olivia was just wonderful to work with. She was understanding when I lost our message history and just a very nice person.”
About: I had pets all through my childhood and live with multiple service dogs as an adult. I picked up a few tips and tricks from their owners/trainers. My family recently adopted a new dog, and we have been working on basic commands. As much as I love dogs, not even the biggest brightest puppy dog eyes will break me. I currently work 7-3 at a school so I have off all weekends and most holidays. So I will have plenty of free time during the holiday season. As I will only be caring for pets inside the owner’s home (and on walks) I will 100% defer to the rules of the house and any guidelines set by the owners. There will be plenty of walks, cuddles and playtime.
About: I am a life long animal lover with a rabbit of my own. I grew up with multiple dogs my entire life as well as taking care of pets of friends and family since i was in high school. I am a true animal lover and would give my upmost care to any animal under my care. If you want someone that will love your pets as if they are their own, I am the person for you! Currently I work full time but I am very flexible with scheduling care times within my morning, lunch, or afternoon. Fridays I work from home so my schedule is much more flexible end of week and on the weekends! I am comfortable with pets of all sizes including small animals such as rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs, if you have some extra friends :) working in a corporate setting I love to use my time with furry friends to be active, play, and help burn off energy for myself and your babies! That being said ill never say no to cuddles and just being a comforting presence.
About: I've owned a dog for ten years at home. I also have taken care of various neighbors' and friends' dogs as they relied on me to walk, feed, and play with the dog. I have boarded a dog for a month last summer. I now care for my own dog in my apartment. I currently have an easy schedule with one class a day where I would not be in the apartment. However, due to having three other roommates there is typically always somebody in my apartment. I have a very friendly dog who would love to play with others but she can also relax in her crate as needed. We have a fenced-in courtyard that dogs can run around in too!
About: I grew up in a house of 3 dogs and have been pet sitting for more than 15 years. I am comfortable and familiar caring for pets of all sizes, needs, and personalities. Should you need more personalized care, I am happy to provide overnight stays in your home as well. I like to keep my clients up to date with check ins and photos throughout the day so they know their pets are happy and well cared for while they’re away. Feel free to message me if you have any questions! When booking a sitting request I always want to make sure that I can give your pet my full attention to accommodate their needs. I typically wake up early and am able to be home for the majority of the day, if not full time. I care for each pet as if it were my own. There will be no shortage of love and attention when they are with me.
About: I’ve grown up with cats my whole life and have always loved animals! I recently graduated and am working as certified veterinary technician at an animal hospital. have a strong background in animal care and would love to give your pets the same love and attention I give my own! My schedule allows me to offer morning and afternoon availability on the days I work, with full availability on my days off. I’m flexible and able to work pet care into my daily routine, making sure each pet gets the time, attention, and care they deserve. Leaving your pet sometimes can be nerve wracking, but my number one priority is keeping your animal safe, comfortable and loved while you are away!
“Maddalena is very reliable and takes exceptional care of our two kitties! We appreciate knowing our cats are well cared for while we are away. Can’t say enough good things about her! Thank you Maddalena!”
About: I’ve been around animals ever since I was young! I’ve always wanted to take care of animals and now I want to do more than what there needs are. I work with animals about everyday, so I have worked with them more. I love getting to know each individual pet as I’m learning more! I’m willing to come check in on them every 4-8 hours and care for what they need done including feeding, potty breaks and walks if needed
About: I have loved dogs my whole life! I grew up always having dogs and have recently got my own dog; a miniature dachshund named Moose. I am familiar/comfortable with dogs of all ages including puppies with all of the energy that need constant attention and elderly dogs that may need more care and some extra snuggles. I will love your dog like my own and follow care instructions very closely. I am also comfortable with light training for younger dogs as I am working on training with my own puppy. I am familiar with administering medication including oral pills, sprays, topicals, etc. I am a full-time business owner. This means my schedule is generally flexible when necessary, but on a weekly basis I usually work during the day and would be most available after work. Monday through Friday I am available before 6am and after 3pm. On weekends, I am flexible. In your home, I will always follow your established rules for your pet. I am comfortable using harness and leash, overseeing pets in a fenced in area, walking dogs, administering medications, feeding dogs, playing, training, etc.
About: I grew up with cats all my life and have spent time taking care of them while dog sitting dogs of all ages for my neighbors. I have done walks, feeding, emptying litter boxes, given medications, and taking them to appointments! I’m currently applying to residency programs and have more time on my hands to spend taking care of animals! This allows me flexibility to take care of pets most days of the week where I don’t have an interview. My girlfriend and I do not currently have a pet at home, unfortunately. While caring for others’ pets, I enjoy ensuring that they don’t become lonely while their people are gone!
About: since the day I was born, I’ve been surrounded by all types of animals that you can imagine of I’ve own dogs, cats, etc., my neighbors my friends all rely on me to take care of their pets when they’re not home or in need of someone and I can say that I have a really good relationship with all types of animals because I’ve been surrounded by so many of them currently, I’m on summer break and my schedule is very flexible, but it can vary on the day because I work at a part-time job as well in the drop in service, I will check in with your pet take the dog out for a walk play with them spend time with them until you are back to your fur babies

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Willow Springs is $24 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $36 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 2,029 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Willow Springs. 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 Springs. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
