About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life. I also have my own fun baby, her names is Maple. She has problem with your affections and sensitive skin. So I can clean ears and can apply medicine. I currently have an part-time a job, I will sit and play with your for babies for as long as I can, as often as I can. Even though my fur baby would love it if I was with her twenty 24/7. But I know she loves have her treats more. I let the Fur babies decide what they want. If they want me to sit on the couch and pet them for an hour, I'll indulge them if they have no interest in me being around. I'll leave the room and let them have their space.
“Jeanette was so good with our dogs!! She left our house spotless and even washed the sheets she used. She was amazing at keeping us updated and sent us cute pictures of our girls. I would definitely recommend having Jeanette (Donna) keep your pups company while out of town.”
“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.”
“Emmeline a was very flexible with scheduling and I was pleased to see how much she enjoyed my dogs. They all have their quirks and she was very cool with their personalities. I got lots of updates and photos, but best of all if anything weird happened in the house (like a gate breaking outside or packages arriving) she was quick to communicate and try to make things work. Thank you so much Emmeline!”
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.
“Kaitlyn did a wonderful job with my dog, Chevron! She was very patient with him and let him engage and interact with her at his own speed. She was also great at providing updates and communicating how things were going throughout the day.”
“Jasmyn was so wonderful! She sent daily updates and went above and beyond to make sure my dog and myself were comfortable. I will 100% be using her as my go to dog sitter from now on!”
“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.”
About: I have six years of animal experience with my own, family, and friends pets. I love to make sure the fur babies are getting the care and love they need while the owners are gone. I'm available throughout the week at flexible times. My schedule is posted so you can see when I'm booked or unavailable. Please reach out at least 2 days in advance to discuss your fur babies and arrange a meet-and-greet for you and your pets! I make sure the show the fur babies love and attention that they deserve to take care of them while the owners are gone by feeding, walking, playing, and watching them!
“Marisa was great with my boys! I felt totally at ease with her watching them in my home. She was great at communication and sending pictures. I was looking for someone to spend most of thier time in the home with my babies and she was able to do just that. Even went so far as to let me know when she was leaving and when to expect her back. Marisa made being out of town for the holidays stress-free. I would recommend her services to anyone and plan to book with her again!”
About: I have had multiple dogs, cats, & small pets my entire life. (48 years) I did boarding with Rover in my home for several years with great reviews, however my current doggo does not love other dogs, so I strictly do check-ins and house sitting at client’s homes. I have a flexible work schedule, so I am able to house/pet sit during the week, as well as weekends. I’d love to spend time with your fur children and give them all the loving!! Available for pet sitting 7 days a week! I work 2nd shift M-Th, but have some flexibility for pop-in visits during that time and can do mornings and overnights any day of the week. Can care for dogs, cats, and small pets. I will follow your pet care instructions and make sure all their needs are met. Snuggles and play time guaranteed! I have been caring for animals for many years. I currently have 4 pets myself!
“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.”
“She went above and beyond for my pets. She communicated well and followed all of my requests. I definitely felt good leaving them in her hands for a few days and will be sure to hire her again! :)”
“Julie was excellent! Our girl Moxie suffers from separation anxiety and Julie knew how to support her while we were gone. In addition, our house was so clean you wouldn’t have known anyone else had been there. Thank you, Julie!”
About: I grew up on a farm in Kingstree, SC. I have worked and volunteered in many positions. I have experience with dogs of many breeds, cats, horses, ponies, chickens, pet birds, and cattle. I also will be looking to adopt my own rabbits soon. I volunteered in an animal clinic and I have experience handling animals from shelters. Walking dogs, bathing animals, and grooming pets from guinea pigs to cats to horses has never been a difficult feat for me! I've done some of these things since I was six years old. I'm available to do pet care for three days out of the week at varying times in the afternoon. I'm between jobs and between moves right now so any work is good work! I've been aspiring to become a veterinarian for many years now and as college has come around, it's been really nice to start reaching for those goals more and more! I'm excited to work with other pet lovers. I currently am offering to take animals for walks and do drop ins. I love playing with dogs and grooming cats so you can be sure that your pets will get a lot of attention from me! I'm very thorough when it comes to cleaning and I monitor my actions in other places and towards other people very well. You can rest assured that your home will be just how you left it and your pet will be happier than ever when you return!
About: Pets are family. I want you to feel comfortable and your family to feel comfortable. I will text you with updates and send the cutest pictures. I recently graduated college and moved back to the Summerville area. I do work about five days a week, but I never work more than an eight hour shift. In my free time, I am completely free and all of my attention goes to the pet I am sitting. I will make your pet feel as comfortable as possible. Hang out with them and play as much as they want. Give them the rubs and scratches they want!

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.
