“Sabrina was wonderful and the dogs loved her! She picked up our mail and pulled the trash can inside. We're very picky who watches are pups and we will definitely ask Sabrina back.”
“Aaron was wonderful and truly loved spending time with Gracie and Roxie! Aaron sent pictures and updates daily, which was greatly appreciated! He let me know that Roxie took a little bit of time to warm up but then was herself with being a big snuggler, and that Gracie did great on her walks. Last time we had made this trip we had an 8 hour delay, and asked Aaron ahead of time if something like this happened again could he stay, and he said he could. Luckily all went well and we were able to arrive home on time to two very happy and very well cared for pups! Will definitely use Aaron again!!”
“Kevin was great! he made sure to ask plenty of questions so that he could take full care of my 11 month old Rottweiler and made sure I was informed at all times while I was away. he even sent me the cutest pictures of her every day! I will definitely use Kevin for as long as he has dog sitting!!”
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.”
“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 ❤️”
“We are so incredibly grateful to have found Kira (and Jake) to stay with our two Great Danes while we were away for the weekend. Our boys are VERY spoiled, and not used to being alone, so it was so reassuring to know they were getting all of the love and attention from Kira and Jake. In addition to coming home to two happy and well cared for pups, we found our home spotless and in perfect shape. If there was an option for a sixth star, it would be added to this review. Thank you Kira and Jake so much for your incredible care of our boys!”
“Susan took great care of Sullivan while out of town for one night. She successfully administered his medication, gave him lots of cuddles & outside time & provided pictures as well as updates. She was also very willing to help out with a last-minute request. We definitely plan to use Susan again in the future!”
About: I have two years of dog sitting experience. I have provided care for many different breeds, ages, and sizes of dogs. I also have experience giving eyedrops and medicine. I’m currently a college student doing classes on weekdays (mostly online) I would be available for sitting any day of the week. I’m also flexible with extending a sitting date aswell. If I were to have a in person class one of the days I would be gone for 2 hours then be there the rest of the day. I would be there the almost the entire day and night and if you were to have any specific requests to make your canine companions feel more comfortable and safe while you are away I would be happy to fulfill them.
“This is our 2nd time booking with ZaNayah and once again She's been such a pleasure to have around and the love and care she gives to our kiddos is amazing. Such great energy, we totally recommend ZaNayah you will not be disappointed. Will definitely book with her 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.”
About: I've been working in the pet care industry since I was 20. Ive been a dog groomer for over 5 years and I focus a lot of my free time on dog sports and training classes with my own poodle. I'm currently self employed and have full availability to care for animals. I work as a fiber artist and I'm looking for more reasons to get outside. I care for pets the way I hope mine are cared for. I'm huge on taking photos and videos to send to you for reassurance. I'm very strict on following rules, medication guidelines, and feeding. Ive been handling animals professionally for many years and I deeply understand the importance of following the guidelines set out by an animals primary caregiver.
“Rowan did a great job caring for my Boston Terrier and yearling kitty! Both are rescue pets that have been part of the family for 7 months, so they needed reassurance when we were gone. Rowan did everything just right for them.”
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!
“Kenzie is awesome! We have an older dog on multiple medications and she managed her perfectly. She is kind, loves dogs and communicated well with us while we were away. We felt super comfortable leaving our girl with Kenzie.”
“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!”
“Angie was such a lifesaver in a tight time, and I’m so glad she was available! Coco got very anxious with us gone and she went above and beyond to make sure she was cared for and had plenty of snuggles and play time to distract her. Would have her take care of my crew any time.”
“Samantha has been reliable and very responsive before, during, and after dog sitting for our sweet Willow! She has shown patience while Willow warmed up to her, which was very comforting to know she was well taken care of while we're away. I highly recommend Samantha and am excited we've found a great dog sitter for our girl!”

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.
Abigail was amazing! She took care of our 7 month old puppy wonderfully. She gave us updates throughout the day and made sure that he got plenty of attention. When we got home to our puppy he was relaxed and on his best behavior. We will definitely be booking her again.
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!
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.
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!
We had Staci stay with our Pittie, Jax, in our home, for 15 days. She came over for a meet and greet before we departed and Jax took to her immediately. Staci was dependable, neat, and trustworthy. She took such great care of Jax, even let him sleep with her. She sent us regular updates and pictures while we were gone. We came home to find not only a happy dog, but a clean house too. I would definitely rebook with Staci and would recommend her to anyone.
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

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!
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 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 Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
