“Sarah spoiled Sullivan in the best way! He got walks, play time & cuddles. When we returned we could tell that he was well taken care of during our travels. She provided multiple updates with photos of Sullivan & she was easy to communicate with & flexible with schedule changes. We would hire Sarah to watch Sullivan again!”
“Shayna had great communication. She sent pictures of my baby as requested. She was very kind and respectful of the house. I could tell that my pup was comfortable in her care. Would definitely book again.”
“Kira took great care of our home and our pets while we were away! She was very communicative, shared lots of pictures, and even watered our plants in the summer heat! We will definitely be reaching out to Kira again in the future”
About: I am recently separated from active duty in the Air Force, and looking for ways to help out the community during my transition. I have day to day experience with our needy cat, and experience when I was younger and our family owned dogs! I do not have any training experience, but I do have a 1 year old daughter, so I am patient and willing to learn and assist! During my time in the military, I learned skills of task management and attention to detail, so I will follow instructions diligently! I am transitioning into the reserves but currently have a lot of free time so I am very flexible until I start my full time job later this winter. For care in the clients home, I will follow any instructions. I am also very active, so if you have an active dog, I would be able to go for runs with them or take them to dog parks if requested.
“I highly recommend Chloe to watch your pets. She kept me updated the entire time, sent me plenty of photos and videos - and I could tell she genuinely enjoyed my dog's company. She is reliable and trustworthy. We can't wait to have her watch our dog again.”
“Suzanne was awesome!! She provided updates & communicated well. Sullivan was very well taken care of while we were gone & I would absolutely hire her to watch Sullivan again. She provided him with consistent walks, lots of play time & a lot of attention & care.”
“Abigail was absolutely amazing!!! She stayed at my home overnight, for 4 days, with my two dogs and two cats. She was on time. Updated me every day with my puppers routines and sent photos. One of my dogs has kidney disease and she provided meds, food and treats at the exact times requested. She took them on daily walks and played with them both. It gives me peace of mind knowing that they are well taken care of while I’m away. I have already booked our next trip away with Abigail ❤️”
“Julie was wonderful. I am sure it was a rough start with my extremely anxious dog yet she managed to win his love and I felt confident he was taken great care of during my travels.”
About: I’m dependable, loving, and attentive, treating every pet like my own. I’m patient with puppies, gentle with seniors, and dedicated to keeping every pet happy, comfortable, safe, and cared for. I work mostly nights so I will be able to walk or take care of animals all throughout the day! I can do anything before 3! I take my cats very seriously, if there is any sign of anything I’m immediately take them to the vet, I feed them twice a day with a mixture of wet and dry food and some probiotics! And I play with them for at least an hour a day!
“Jen was very detailed, accommodating, and sent loads of pictures and updates. She did great with the dogs, they seemed happy and got plenty of exercise. Would definitely recommend her and will use her again in the future.”
About: I’ve taken care of my friend’s dog while out of town. I love doggos and hope to adopt my own in the future! I used to be a teacher for many years. Right now my schedule is very flexible! I’m a homebody and love going for daily walks. I’m a very clean and organized person. This makes it easy for pets to roam around freely and safely! My husband unfortunately is allergic to cats so I will not be hosting cats in our home. If your cat is hypoallergenic (short haired and bathed beforehand) we can discuss overnight stays!
“Claire was awesome with our dogs. We have two senior dogs and Claire was so attentive and sensitive to their needs. I have never trusted anyone more with our pups. We have already booked her again for our next trip. Claire will definitely give you peace of mind while you are away that your fur babies are being well cared for.”
About: I have plenty of pet care experience with many different animals. I grew up around birds, rabbits, dogs and cats. Even reptiles! I do have special training with seniors and doggies with allergies and sensitivity. I am a full time healthcare worker. I am currently available for pet services on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Sundays with my current schedule. I am flexible on my availability. I am glad to care for your pet in your home and do drop ins. I strive to respect your property and you can trust I will get the job done.
About: Hey! I’m Hunter! I’ve always loved animals, and I’ve spent the last 3 years working at a humane society, as well as some time working at a doggy daycare. So I’ve gotten to meet (and clean up after) just about every kind of dog/cat personality. I’m pretty laid-back, reliable, and I genuinely enjoy hanging out with animals. Whether your dog wants to run around and play, go for a walk, or just chill on the couch, I’m happy to do whatever they’re comfortable with. I know how hard it can be to leave your pets with someone, so I’ll treat them like they’re my own and keep you updated while you’re away! 🐶🐱 I have completely open availability. I am able to work with any schedule. Whatever your pet needs, I can provide it. I enjoy making animals my priority! I want every pet to feel comfortable and safe while they’re with me. I’ll take the time to get to know their personality, routine, and any specific needs before I start caring for them. I’m also happy to follow your usual routines as closely as possible, whether that means walks, feeding schedules, medications, playtime, or just giving them some extra attention.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 15 years and truly love spending time with them. I’m comfortable providing walks, baths, playtime, and lots of love and attention I work full-time during the week, but I’m typically available after 6 PM and have more flexibility on weekends. I’m happy to provide regular, reliable care for cats during the week, including evening visits. For dogs, I’m primarily available on weekends when I can give them the time and attention they need. I live in a spacious 3-bedroom home where it’s just me, so your pet will have plenty of room to feel comfortable and relaxed. I have space for all their necessities, and there’s plenty of room to play. I also have a fenced-in backyard where your dog can safely run and play, and I live in a quiet residential neighborhood that’s perfect for walks.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Willowbrook
Donna was an awesome fit for Lucy and our new puppy Matilda. She sent pics and she also cleaned up the house before she left. She washed the sheets and made the bed so we didn't have to do it when we got home. She also prepped Lucy's food which helped as well. Would definitely recommend her for your fur babies and we will be using her again. They were very well taken care of.
Sarah spoiled Sullivan in the best way! He got walks, play time & cuddles. When we returned we could tell that he was well taken care of during our travels. She provided multiple updates with photos of Sullivan & she was easy to communicate with & flexible with schedule changes. We would hire Sarah to watch Sullivan again!
Since our normal sitter was not available we had to find another which is stressful. Aaron was amazing with our pups and cat! One of our dogs had developed a small hot spot on his foot a few days before our vacation and Aaron went out of his way to bandage it up to make sure he would not continue to lick it when he noticed him doing it more and irritating it. Will definitely use him again! It is nice to now know we have several options when one doesn’t work out.
This is the second time we've used Kira for our house and pet sitting and she's awesome! Our animals just love her and she just does an overall really great job. We consider ourselves fortunate to have found her and we look forward to using Kira in the future. Thank you so much Kira!
Aubrea was absolutely amazing. Always kept us updated on how they were and sent tons of photos while we were away. This was our first time leaving the dogs with someone other than family so we were a little nervous, but very thankful we found Aubrea. We will definitely be booking with her again when we need a dog sitter
Tristan did an amazing job caring for our four pups! It was clear they were happy, relaxed, and well cared for while we were away. He kept us updated with plenty of photos and thoughtful stories about our fur babies, which gave us so much peace of mind and made us feel connected to them the entire time. We returned to a clean home and four very happy dogs. We would gladly trust Tristan with our pups again!
Rylee did a great job taking care of our animals. Everything was done just as we asked. She kept my house clean while staying here I was nervous about letting someone stay in my home for 5 days. Rylee communicated with me the whole time she was here. I will use her again. She is a sweet girl! Thank you Rover for this website and thank you Rylee, you are pure gold

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Willowbrook is $44 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $39 and $67 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.
As of October 2026, there are 1,592 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
