“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.”
“Scarlett is outstanding! We booked her for 10-days housesitting. She took great care of our 2 large dogs. One is a mellow senior with medical issues, the other a hyper 1yo. Juggling the 2 so different dogs is not an easy task, but Scarlett did it well and attended to all their needs. The dogs loved her! Scarlett is by far the best sitter we booked through Rover, and we had many fine ones. I trust her 100%.”
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.
“Audrey was great! Very responsible and communicative the whole time watching my dog! It was great to have a peace of mind with her being proactive on communication and following the rules of how to care for my dog. 10/10 and will be using her again!”
About: The personalized schedule I keep for pets I’m sitting will always be unique to their personality. I have adapted and taken dogs to the gym with me, runs on the beach, driven to hike trails and will always go above and beyond for our furry companions. I will absolutely read to your pets if they are used to having you speak to them constantly. (I love talking out loud to our furry friends) I’m pretty flexible on the weekends and during the week standard availability is 5p and on. I am available for morning drop ins as I make my schedule in my Corp. job. Yes I will absolutely also chat up your house plants too. I constantly send photo updates and will always answer a text within 5-10 minutes. I try to honor any established schedule your pets might have and try to enhance their activities to distract them from your absence whether that be from long days at work or even an out of town trip.
“Marianna was such a great sitter! She took care of my house, leaving it more put together than before I left. She took out my trash, figured out the high tech litter situation, sent me cute pictures and even left me with a little card and Polaroids of my kitties. My cats were so mellow and happy when I came home. Seeing pictures of them piled on top of her left me feeling so secure that they were comfortable. I would highly recommend Marianna.”
About: Pet care is already built into my everyday life. Three times a week I walk two 60-lb puppy Rhodesian Ridgebacks that I’ve successfully trained to walk calmly side by side. Every day I also take my own Black Mouth Cur on social outings to the dog park or dog beaches at Rosie’s Beach and Huntington Beach — over the last two years I’ve successfully socialized him to stop being aggressive. Mornings and late afternoons are set aside for client walks and drop-ins, while evenings and weekends open easily for longer visits or overnights. Because this is my regular rhythm, your pets receive consistent, focused attention every time. Pet care is fully integrated into my daily and weekly schedule. I maintain open availability throughout the week for walking both small and large dogs, with consistent morning and evening time slots reserved for clients. This structured yet flexible routine allows me to provide reliable, focused care without conflict. How do you care for pets in your home or your client’s home for the different services you offer? I provide care both in my home and in the client’s home, depending on the service requested. For walks and drop-in visits, I come to the client’s home and follow their exact routines, house rules, and any special instructions. For boarding or extended stays, pets are welcomed into my clean, calm, and fully pet-friendly home environment, where they receive individual attention tailored to their size, age, and needs. In both settings, I prioritize safety, clear communication, and consistent care so every pet feels comfortable and every client feels confident.
“Zakiya took such good care of our dog Georgia and our home! We got daily pictures and updates, which helped put our minds at ease while traveling! Our dog Georgia seemed happy and well taken care of the whole time :) We came home to a clean house, and detailed notes on the stay! Will definitely be booking Zakiya again she did a wonderful job!”
“Allen is an awesome dog sitter! We have two high energy doodles, one of whom is blind, and he took really good care of them while we were away. He sent plenty of pictures and videos which gave us peace of mind and when he left, they were standing at the guest bedroom door looking for him. We highly recommend Allen!”
About: I grew up with dogs my whole life. I am currently a bunny mom to 2 bunnies! So any time spent with dogs makes me so happy. I am currently helping two families for the past 4 years when they go on vacations or work trips. Me and my husband Michael are looking for a new babies to love and care for! I am off weekends. I work Full time Monday thru Friday. 10-5:30pm. I can do morning walks before work and after work. Me and my husband usually do the jobs together so if I am at work he can assist as well. Open availability during the weekends. I can house sit if you ever go on Vacation or work trips. I own a car so destination isn’t a problem. I can drive them to a local Dog park on request as well. I love taking dogs out for walks or having fun play time indoors or outdoors. I can travel to your home to care for your pets. I can do feedings as well.
“Anne was fantastic! She stayed at our place to watch our pup while we had to travel. Our dog is reactive and can be aggressive and Anne handled her so well. She was very communicative. Which we sooooo appreciate! She also washes our linens which was so nice!! I would recommend her to watch anyones animal.”
About: Hey there! I’m really looking forward to meeting you and your pets. You can relax knowing your furry friends will be in great hands—I’ve got plenty of experience and truly love spending time with animals. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just some chill time together, I’ll make sure they feel right at home. I know how important your pets are to you, and I’ll treat them like they’re my own. Can’t wait to get started and build a good relationship with you and your pets! Pet care is a big part of my daily and weekly routine, especially with four dogs! Every day starts with letting them in the backyard and feeding time, followed by some playtime to get their energy out. I make sure each dog gets individual attention, whether it’s grooming, cuddles, or some one-on-one time. Cleaning, organizing their things, and keeping up with vet or grooming appointments are just part of the routine—it’s busy, but I wouldn’t have it any other way! I make sure to ask the owners for any special instructions to ensure they receive the same care they would if the owner was there. I treat the animals as my own and look for signs to make sure they are comfortable. Before I leave I make sure the animals are safe, secure and comfortable in their designated area.
“Aileen did a fantastic job house sitting at our home with our 3 dogs for a week. She met with us prior to our trip for a meet and greet and right away we felt at ease. We were so delighted to have regular updates and photos. She even tended to some of our plants and flowers:-) The thing that sets Aileen apart is her excellent communication skills, her attention to detail, and her love for animals. We will always try to book with Aileen whenever possible.”
About: What sets me apart is my hands-on, daily experience raising and caring for my own dogs through every stage of their lives. Having managed everything from strict medication schedules to comforting aging pets, I am highly attentive to senior care and changing health needs. I know how to read canine body language, respect boundaries, and provide a low-stress, comforting environment. Your pup will get the exact same dedicated, intuitive care I give my own family. Pet care fits perfectly into my week because my school and part-time job hours are highly flexible. Even though my work shift schedule changes daily, my part-time hours mean I have an abundance of free time throughout the week. Because my days are mostly clear, I can easily adapt to and strictly follow your pet's specific feeding, walking, and care routines without any hassle. I provide pet care exclusively within the client’s home because I believe keeping pets in their own familiar environment is the best way to reduce separation anxiety. My approach is centered on strictly maintaining your pup's established daily routine. During my stay, I follow your exact feeding schedules, walk routes, and potty break intervals. I treat your home with the utmost respect—keeping everything secure, clean, and exactly as I found it. You will receive regular photo updates and transparent communication so you can have complete peace of mind while you are away.
“Elle did a great job watching our two pups while we were out of town for 12 days! She sent plenty of pics and communicated frequently. She also proactively took one of them to the vet when an issue occurred, and we were unreachable.”

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! :)

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Willowbrook on Rover is $34.24 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 14,995 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Willowbrook. 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 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.
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 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!
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.

- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
