“Mikayla is the best! She took such good care of Abbi and Charlie while we were traveling out of state. We had no concerns entrusting our dogs in her care. I highly recommend Mikayla. Shelli”
“Mehlayne did a wonderful job of caring for our sweet old Roxy. Our pup is 16 years old, has medical needs such as breathing treatments and medication administration and she even took Roxy to the Vet 4 times for routine fluid administration. While we are away for our 13 day vacation to Alaska, she sent daily pictures of our sweet little girl and messages regarding her day. Considering that Roxy had never been apart from us for more than 3 days, we were very pleased when we returned and she was in excellent health and eating very well, which could be a challenge at times. I could tell from the beginning that they were a good fit, especially since Melanie has a very elderly dog herself. We will be happy to book her again if needed and recommend her to anyone that is looking for someone to care for their pup.”

Whether your pet needs extra cuddles, plenty of playtime, or a little extra TLC, I’m ready to handle it all! 🐶🐱💕 I currently work for the post office 6 days a week and with my route i’m able to get off between noon and 1pm every day.

I plan to follow every instruction and routine that the owners leave for me. It’s important for me to accommodate each pets specific needs.

I work every Monday-Thursday in the morning until 12:45, so I would be available in the afternoon, evening, and night. I’m available weekdays and weekends! I have pets myself so I could not house yours. I would go to your house and care for your family there:) if there are any questions please feel free to reach out! It would be my first priority to ensure your pets comfort and safety while they are in my care. Making them feel loved and at home is very important when their family is away:)
About: Hi! I’m a Doctor of Chiropractic who loves helping people and their pets. I’m a recent graduate and new business owner. I have been watching and walking dogs for neighbors and family members (and my own dogs) since I was in high school I currently work part-time while I’m getting my business off the ground so I’m free most days and times to care for your pets and their needs. I can easily accommodate anything that you do in your own house with your pets. I can crate or not, I can walk and check up on them often.
“We needed someone to house/dog sit while we were out of town for a week. Jonathan was great! We could tell the dogs got lots of long walks and plenty of attention. We would definitely rebook him!”
“I had a family emergency and had to go out of town very suddenly. Melanie stepped right in and came to my rescue to care for Tilly! She is so good and takes such good care of my baby! Tilly has really come to like her and they get along so good.”
“Alex was absolutely wonderful with Milo! She was so reliable, communicative, and took such great care of him while we were away! She sent us updates and pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was happy, comfortable, and getting plenty of love and attention. She also took great care of our house and left everything exactly as we left it. She even went above and beyond and stripped the bed she slept in while she was here and put it in the washer for us🥹 she is so sweet! When we got home, Milo was clearly very happy and well taken care of! We felt completely comfortable having Alex stay with him and would love to have her watch him again.”
“Kelley was wonderful! She played with our dogs and took great care of them for a whole week. She also took care of our cats and chickens. She was very reliable and very caring. I would highly recommend her!”
“I cannot say enough how happy I was with Blakey! It was our first time leaving them with someone in our home and my 2 dogs didn’t even act like I had been gone when I came back! I’m pretty sure they were happy being spoiled by Blakey! Will definitely book her in the future!”
About: I grew up taking care of my own dogs and all the responsibilities that come with that and also dog sitting throughout my high school years. I currently work part time so I have lots of time to work with you. I am always out and about so it would match up perfectly for me to be able to drop by and help. I am comfortable bringing dogs and walks, letting them run around, fenced in areas and crating them if that is their normal routine I think it’s the most important to do what the owners have made the normal, which is what I will follow if I’m the person taking care of your pet.
About: Hello! My name is Cindy. I'm so delighted to start my pet walking business; opening in March (Let's Walk). It's beyond belief that I'm able to finally display my deep love for dogs with helping busy owners, ensuring every furry family member gets adventure and the care they deserve. I learned so much caring for my beloved Winnie, who I sadly had to let go due to unexpected events that took place in my life many years ago. I understand the joy and responsibility of pet ownership firsthand. I am committed to providing exceptional care, safety, and companionship for your pet family member. My goal is to give you peace of mind, a tired dog and RELIABLE service. I offer a nurturing and stimulating environment for your furry family member's. I recently retired early from teaching preschool children to pursue a career in pet care. I offer flexible, full time availability and am able to provide constant supervision and care for your pet, ensuring they are happy and comfortable. I'm available seven days a week from 6am to 7pm. I will be adding boarding services April 2026. Your pets safety is of most PRIORITY. I will stay alert for cars, people and other dogs; avoid music, use proper equipment (secure harness/collar), stick to safe routes (sidewalks, avoid heavy traffic), manage interactions ( ask permission for greetings) watch for broken glass or hot pavement (using the 5-second rule), carry water, use reflective gear at night, while managing their health and observing their body language.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Willow Wood is $56 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $62 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.

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 Wood 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 Wood 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 Wood 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.

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.
