“Daylin was fantastic! I cannot say enough great things about her. It's always nerve racking getting a new Rover person to watch your dog and stay in your home. She updated me with pictures all the time. I came home and the house was spotless. She is very respectful and quick to respond. I had to extend my trip 1 day and she was able to accommodate. I think Gypsy found a new best friend. Daylin woke up with Gypsy on the bed next to her and she never goes on the bed...Haha! If I could I would use Daylin every time I had to go out of town.”
“I had such an amazing experience having my Luna cared for over the weekend by Audry! From the very beginning, I felt completely at ease knowing she was in such great hands. Communication was wonderful, and I really appreciated all the photos and updates throughout her care. It made being away from her so much easier knowing I could see how she was doing and that she was happy and comfortable. Overall, it was such a great experience from start to finish. I’m so grateful for the care and attention Luna received, and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring for their pets. I’ll definitely be booking with Audry again in the future! 🐾”
“Mia was lovely to work with and took excellent care of our girl! It helped a lot knowing she was in good hands. I got lots of updates on playtime and meals and walks, which was wonderful.”
“If possible I will use Allen again! This is the first time I've left my dogs with a stranger and it was a great experience for them and me. Allen sent videos and pictures every day. We were gone for a week and when we returned he'd washed the sheets and vacuumed the house. It was a joy to return home!”
About: I have had dogs my whole life both big and small. I am currently a dog groomer of 5 years, starting my own business soon! I have been dog sitting for about 6 years on and off through rover also worked at a doggy daycare for a bit! I’m currently working part time and also not in school at the moment so I have lots of spare time on my hands to play with your pup! I have a fenced yard and a park very close nearby. I skateboard which is great experience for the both of us! I have 2 dog friendly dogs of my own who loves making new playmates!
“Indra is phenomenal! She did a meet and greet before staying overnight. The pups loved her. She asked great questions and was very open to all of our instructions. She sent plenty of pictures and updates throughout the day and night. We came home to happy, healthy dogs. Highly recommend.”
About: I’ve taken care of high energy, friendly, shy, and quiet pets.

About: I’ve taken care of a few dogs for the past few years. I have taken care of my family’s and friends dogs for them when they were out of town. I have some dogs of my own that I taken care of. I’m currently looking for part time work so I am available relatively anytime. I am available on the weekends. I can walk your dog anytime during the day. I am very good with dogs. I have three of my own who are a bit friendly. I am willing to look after your pet in their home if they are more comfortable.
About: I’ve cared for family and friends’ pets for years, loving them like my own. I’ve welcomed many animals into my life and even helped find safe, happy homes for those in need. “I provide reliable, loving care with daily photo updates and flexible scheduling. I’m active, patient, and experienced with energetic and senior dogs. Your dog will get safe walks, playtime, and lots of attention. I have plenty of time, patience, and love to give to your fur baby and the attention they deserve and need having a flexible job means I have more than enough time to make time I can care for your pet exactly how you prefer. As someone who had a pet , I understand how stressful it can be to trust someone with your baby — I’m very cautious and protective with my own pets, so yours will be treated the same way.
“Rebecca is a fantastic sitter who took great care of both our house and our new cat Baby Lizard. She sent us lots of photos, did face time calls when asked, stuck to our vet's dietary instructions, and gave Blizzard lots of cuddles but also just chill time and space. She also helped out with managing our home, taking out trash, cleaning litter boxes and making sure the house stayed safe while we were on our trip. We will DEFINITELY be booking Rebecca again to watch our Baby Lizzy!”
About: I make sure every walk was filled with fun, fresh air, and lots of tail wags! Ensured dogs got the exercise and attention they needed while keeping them safe and happy. Send updates and cute pictures to owners to keep them connected. I’m more open during the week ( especially the mornings!) than the weekends. I have múltiple dogs on my own so I’m used to the routines. I maintain a structured feeding schedules, plenty of activity, and lots of mental stimulation through toys, enrichment games, and training. Keep a clean living space and monitor their behavior closely to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for every day.
“If I had to summarize Zakiya - PEACE OF MIND. She took care of our dog for 2 weeks in our home and we truly didn’t have to worry about our dog’s well being AT ALL. She’s an excellent communicator, attentive to details (left us a log of our dog’s business), caring and professional. We’d definitely use Zakiya’s services again.”
“Brenda was great with my pets as always! She looked after my pets while I was traveling for the holidays and did an amazing job. She not only cared for them, including carrying out treatments for my sick kitten, but also left my apartment in better shape than I left it! highly recommend her to take care of your pets - you will not regret it!”
“Brooke was amazing from the first time she entered my house to meet my dog Lily. Lily took a liking to her right away which is not normal for my little girl. Brooke provided feedback on to how the stay was progressing and sent pictures with updates. Brooke just seemed so natural with my animals and she was beyond professional , arriving on time , asking appropriate questions and leaving my house very clean. I will definitely be booking Brooke again!”
“Another wonderful experience. Don is so great with our furry family members. He takes lots of pictures and is very active with the dogs and on the app to make sure we know what is going on. Thank you Don”
About: For the better part of the past decade I’ve been the go to pet sitter for friends and family. Ranging from overnight stays to month long care for both little and large breeds. Currently in between jobs so I’m home during the day so our guests will always have someone to supervise and play. Also have two little dogs to play with Our back yard is quite large so the new and returning friends will have plenty of space to roam around and play. The back door is always open to allow them to come and go from the house or outside. The feeding schedule is based on the preference of the owner and if allowed treats they can get them throughout the visit. Always open to playtime and lovings. Day trips to the park or beach are also a fun time if they like to socialize.
“Maria was great when she watched our baby! She sent a ton of pictures and checked in a lot. She was even extremely flexible when we were running a little behind schedule. She’s watched our girl multiple times and would definitely have her pet sit again!”
“Allen was a pleasure to work with. He was super flexible and was willing to work with whatever I needed. He sent lots of updates and pictures to reassure me my baby was well cared for. He definitely gave me great peace of mind while I was away.”
“Jami was so wonderful staying in our home taking care of our cat and dog! She was friendly and communicative, sending cute photos of the animals and updates regularly on how everyone was doing. She left our home in beautiful condition! I would highly recommend her :)”

I cannot recommend Anahis enough! I felt completely at ease knowing Molly was in such caring hands. She went above and beyond to ensure Molly felt comfortable, safe, and loved throughout her stay. The communication was perfect and I received regular updates and photos of Molly. Molly can be a bit nervous around new people, but she immediately felt calm with Anahis. She was relaxed, happy, and content. She truly treats each pet as if it were her own. If you're looking for someone trustworthy and caring to watch your pet, I’d highly recommend Anahis. Thank you for taking care of Molly!
Daylin was a fantastic sitter in our home for our doggie. Communicates well and sends pics through out her stay with our dog. Follows instructions we left for her to make her stay smooth. Would definitely recommend her for your sitting needs. Will use her again! Thanks Daylin!
Camille was absolutely wonderful while caring for our two fur babies. She is incredibly trustworthy, kind, and communicative. She sent us photos and updates throughout the weekend, which really put our minds at ease. Our pets were very comfortable around her, and she even took the time to take our dog to his favorite park, and provided constant play and engagement to both fur babies. Camille also took excellent care of our home and left everything spotless. I can’t recommend her enough! If you’re looking for someone who will truly care for your home and pets, you’ll be in great hands with her.
Moriah is AMAZING. We’ve been wanting to go on overnight trips but haven’t since one of our little guys has quite an involved medical routine. We have been so worried we wouldn’t find anyone that would be patient or communicative enough to learn his ways. Moriah turned that thought around *completely* and went above and beyond! Moriah was so attentive to our boys’ routine, asked the right questions, gave us the best updates with pics, and honestly the boys fell even more in love with their buddy! We’re so grateful to Moriah for helping our family, so in Moriah we Trust! :)

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 Willowbrook 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 Willowbrook 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Willowbrook 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!

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 .

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.
