“Kendall was super responsive and helped watch Jasper and house sit with short notice. He is a bit shy but Kendall was sensitive to his needs. Thanks for taking care of my sweet little guy!”
“My 2 senior dogs loved Maggie and Travis! We are grateful to have such a nice couple close to our home. They also responded quickly after my first inquiry on Rover and showed up short notice the next day. Very happy for our connection and will use them often.”
“First time with Taylor for an overnight house and dog sitting. Taylor had great communication, and excellent care of my two pups! She contacted me promptly when she had a question about giving meds to one of my dogs. I came home to happy beasts, and that's the best.”
“Mark was amazing with our two dogs. Our dogs went on several long walks, enjoyed playing in the back yard with their Mark’s dog and loved all the lap time and belly rubs that Mark gave them. Mark was great with sending pictures and videos of our puppies while we were gone, too. We’ll definitely pick Mark again and we’d highly recommend Mark to you.”
“Jennifer was wonderful with our dogs. She went above and beyond with walks and play time and communicated regularly. We didn't have one minute of worry while we were gone. We couldn't have asked for better care!!”
“Bobbie went over and above with all my pets. Oliver is blind and still acts like a puppy so he can be a handful but Bobbie and her family treated him like one i or f their own. I could tell that he was super comfortable in their care. She took the best possible care of Dottie and Toby as well. Bobbie was awesome with the daily pics and updates and was very flexible with our vacation schedule. We’ll be using her on our next vacation for sure.”
“Our two Labradors LOVE Evie!!! We have booked with Evie several times, and we just got back from a 5 day trip to Jamacia. It is so nice being able to go out of the country, knowing that our dogs are in great hands and being well taken care of, while we enjoy our vacation. Our house is always left spotless, and our dogs are always so happy. Evie is reliable and a great communicator! We will continue to book with her for all of our pet sitting needs.”
“Sydney is amazing with my two dogs! She always makes sure they get plenty of exercise and snuggles, and sends multiple daily updates and pictures when I’m out of town! I plan on continuing to book with Sydney in the future, and I definitely recommend her to take great care of your pets!!”
“Hallejia was an amazing dog sitter. She and Willow got along great. I attribute that to her coming and meeting Willow ahead of time and taking her time to get to know her. Hallejia is very attentive, caring and kind. I loved her the moment I met her which made me feel comfortable leaving Willow. She familiarized herself with Willow’s routine and habits. And Halleija is so flexible. I had to change some things at the last minute and she was so accommodating. I will definitely be reaching out to her again to sit for Willow!”
“Kami was great. My dogs looked so happy with her. She stayed at my house and I felt so comfortable knowing our dogs were in good hands. She even put our trash out on trash day! Highly recommend!!”

About: Hello! My name is Sarah. I live in Perrysburg, OH with my ten year old son. While I love my career, I also have a love for animals and am thrilled to be able to share my time caring for and spoiling your pups while you are away! Thank you so much for considering us to be a part of your pup's life! I work outside of the home during the week with open availability during the weekend! Frequent walks and play time would be in the AM and PM daily 🙂 I primarily offer boarding in my home. I have bowls, leashes and some toys, but I do ask that you please bring their crate if they are crate trained and any toys/items that will make them feel more at home.
About: Hi! My name is McKenna! I have always had a passion for animals, specifically dogs. I’ve always grown up around at least one dog if not more. I have been dog sitting for about 7 years now, starting with neighbors and building a network around that. I don’t limit myself to just dog sitting, I also do drop ins frequently for family members dogs when my availability allows such. I currently work at a doggy daycare and boarding facility so dogs are truly my everyday life and passion. I’d love to meet you and your pup(s) (Or kitties 😊) and love them my like my own! If you think I’d be a good fit for you and your furry friend, please feel free to message me!! I look forward to hearing from you!! I currently live with 4 dogs, all requiring different adjustments to their needs and lifestyles, so I’m well experienced in different skills needed for your dog. Skills such aa (but not limited to): administering medicine, bathing and brushing, walking, playing fetch/helping burn their energy off, and of course feeding them! As stated earlier I do work at a doggy daycare and boarding facility, which is full time, but I’m willing to workaround such if needed- all I ask is you reach out the month before your booking so I can adjust my schedule. I have experience with puppy training as well as cleaning up pet messes. I am willing to adjust my skills to what is needed for your pet.

Margaret and Travis were very patient and kind to our Rescue Scooby. It was his first time being without us and we were really nervous. They took good care of Scooby and sent us updates and pics. We did not have service most of the time but we’re confident he was being loved. Thank you!
Madalyn did a wonderful job with Piper!! It was her first time she watched Piper and it was for a weekend. Madalyn was at our house at the time we asked her to be and let us know when she was leaving. She kept in contact, sent a picture of how happy Piper was, and our was clean when we got home. We will definitely be in touch with her when we need a sitter for Piper again!! Thank you again Madalyn! 🐶😍

FAQs for House Sitting - Willowbend
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Willowbend on Rover is $34.29 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 330 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Willowbend. 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 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.

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.
