“I recently visited from out-of-town and Marci stayed in my hotel room with my cannot-be-alone French bulldog, Teddy, while I was out at work events. Marci is friendly, responsible, easy to communicate with, and gave Teddy everything he needed (including cuddles). I know he was comfortable with her because he usually refuses to eat while I'm gone but he ate his dinner with her! She made sure he got his energy out and tinkled too. Marci made my life so much easier-- you can tell she "gets" dogs.”
“Hayley did a great job with our two Bulldogs. They can definitely be high-maintenance, but she handled them very well. Overall, it was a great experience, and we were very happy with her care.”
“Holly took really good care of my puppies and the house. Excellent communication in every aspect. Definitely will be my pet-sitter from now on if she’s available. Thank you so much Holly!”
“Amazing experience having Samira house and pet sit! My dogs loved her right away and I was able to travel knowing everything was well looked after! Samira sent regular updates and pictures. Communication was great. I could not have asked for a better experience and will hope to have Samira come again next time we need pet sitting!”
About: I've had 6 dogs throughout my life along with 2 cats. We raised beagle puppies when I was a child. I have cared for a great dane and two cats for nearly ten years that I truly loved like they were my own. I also cared for a lab mix and two cats for a dear friend on several occasions. I'm retired and available most week days and am flexible on the times that I'm available. Also, I am available to work weekends when given enough notice. I will follow the instructions of the pet owner when it comes to feeding, caring for and exercising the pets. I will walk them based on their schedule and I will gladly socialize with the pets and make certain the maintain a safe and loving environment.
About: I've owned, trained, been around, worked with animals for over 25 years. I would absolutely love to help love on and care for your pet! I work full time from home with a very flexible schedule that I manage myself. I am often found walking the neighborhood while listening to a podcast! I have a secure fenced in back yard and also have an XL dog kennel as well as a Small size kennel available, if needed.
“Excellent communication. Cameron send me a lot of updates, puppies were happy when I got home, I can see that they had a good time 🥰. Definitely will let her take care of my furry babies again.”
About: Been around dogs since I was little and offically took care of them when I was 8. Animals all around have been welcomed into my life whether they have four legs or not. Currently I am not working so it gives me more time to take care and play with your furry friends! I am available almost all hours of the day and can be contacted at anytime if in need of anything! I can easily bathe, clean, feed, brush, refill water for cats along with taking the time to play with them to ensure their daily enrichment for the day. For dogs I can easily help by simply brush, feeding, playing, being put into their crates, or even walking when needed to get their exercise and let them use the bathroom.
“This was the first time leaving my babies with someone I didn’t know and I have to say it was a great experience. Valerie was amazing with them she sent pics and communicated with me. I will definitely be using her again.”
“Jessica was great! She made sure everything went smoothly and my dog seemed to have a good time while I was away. Thankful for her quick response at the last minute to come stay at the house with my puppy.”
“Alejandra was amazing, our dogs olly and isla loved her!! She was very patient with them and she cuddled and played with them alot (they’re puppies) + isla really warmed up to her which is rare because she is usually very picky about the people she’s around with. thank you so much alejandra for taking care of our kids! ◡̈ they loved you alot!! til next time!”
“Brittany was a great sitter while we were away for a few days! Highly recommend her for anyone looking for a reliable and communicative sitter. We felt comfortable leaving our dog and home in her care. Thank you Brittany!”
“I can’t even find words for how grateful I am for the care my dog Mazzy received from Alexandra. I came home to a completely relaxed dog who was clearly loved and cuddled and cared for while I was away. Alexandra left my home in beautiful condition and it was so nice to come home to everything neat and tidy. It is maybe even a little more tidy than I had left it. I had put locks on my closet doors because this was my first time using a stay-in rover and I didn’t know how I would feel. But I could have left the locks off. I feel like my dog and my space were truly cared for and respected. I trust her completely and would recommend her to all other pupper parents. She’s a true gem of a human. I’ll feel lucky if we get to use her services again. 10/10 experience!”
“Abby was so down to earth and friendly. Was so attentive and playful with Roxy, I could tell they got along well. Always responsive and attentive to our needs and Roxy’s safety.”
“Caleigh was absolutely wonderful with our three animals. One of them is older and requires extra care and medication, and she handled everything with so much patience and attention. She sent daily updates and pictures, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. You can tell she genuinely cares and treats pets like her own. We would not hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful, reliable sitter!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Willowbend is $45

Amazing experience having Samira house and pet sit! My dogs loved her right away and I was able to travel knowing everything was well looked after! Samira sent regular updates and pictures. Communication was great. I could not have asked for a better experience and will hope to have Samira come again next time we need pet sitting!
Hailey is one of the best pet sitters we’ve ever had! She kept us updated both day and night on how our babies were doing while we were out of the country. I’ve never felt more peaceful on a trip, and that was all due to Hailey being the one staying with our pets. She is very thoughtful, and truly goes above and beyond in caring for your animals. I would not hesitate to book her again!
Aubrey was fantastic!!! She took care of my German Shepard..sofie for 5days. I was so nervous about leaving her because I haven’t left her side for almost 6 years. Aubrey sent me pictures and she kept in touch everyday. She was so professional and loving and there is absolutely no way I would ever have anyone else be with my baby. She is like family now!!!
I was nervous to leave our dog with someone I didn’t know, but Skylar put me at ease from our first interaction. Skylar did a fantastic job taking care of our dog. She took care of all his needs (including medication), communicated daily, and really went above and beyond. Highly recommend!

The average cost of House Sitting in Willowbend is $44 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $34 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.

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 Willowbend 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 Willowbend 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 Willowbend 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.

- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
