Top rated Willowick house sitters

“Tony was super communicated and kept us updated about how our fur children were through out our time away. He was very good at handling our dog (who needs medication twice a day) and was pleasant to meet! 10/10 would recommend! Will definitely book with him again!”


“Anytime we will be away from home we are always happy to see when Martin is available. He is so good with our little girl and she always looks forward to him being here as well. If you want to make sure your pet is well cared for when you are away Martin is the right guy for the job.”


“Christine is very communicative and consistently updated me on my 3 cats! She sent me pictures every time she came over to care for them. She also left my apartment clean which I'm very grateful for. It's nice to come home to a clean place after a long and grueling flight. Definitely would book her again!”


“Dana is an amazing pet sitter! Awesome communication and cute photos of my dog🫶 they handled my garden, house plants, and chickens too! Everything was amazing. I couldn't recommend them to pet sit more!”


“Abigail took care of our cat and dog for a week while we were out of town. It’s always nerve-wracking to leave your pets with someone new, but I felt much more at ease after meeting her and seeing how quickly both of our girls flocked to her. She’s not able to spend the night because she has to take care of her own fur baby at home, but she still spent several hours with our girls each day. During that time, she gave them both lots of attention, cuddles, playtime, and exercise. She was very communicative about what was going on with them, and she sent tons of pictures. She did a fantastic job, and I highly recommend her!”


“Courtney arrived 15-min early before we needed to leave. She did an outstanding job with our puppies while we were away. No accidents in the house! She occasionally sent us photos of the puppies while we were away. Courtney is a person of good character and work ethic you can trust.”


“We would absolutely recommend having Shari care for any of your pets while you are away. We went overseas for 15 days and hired Shari to stay at our house to care for our 4 cats and 2 huskies. She was amazing. The dogs had a ton of walks, all animals were well taken care of. Shari was also an excellent house sitter. I will absolutely be reaching out to Shari again for our future pet sitting needs. Thank you so much Shari!!”


“Devaney was amazing with our high energy/high anxiety pitty mix. We were so nervous to leave because last time when we didn’t have a sitter (just intermittent walker/feeder) she tore up the place with anxiety. Devaney sent me frequent updates and pictures all weekend and we even came home to a very clean apartment. She gave my cat lots of loving as well! 10/10 recommend and will be booking with her again!”


“Whitney watched our older dog for about a week when we were on a family vacation. We were very nervous due to Millie's age and health. Whitney was amazing, checked in regularly, gave Millie her medicine, and accommodated our less then ideal flight schedule. We would absolutely ask Whitney to watch our home and Millie again.”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a kid, and now I have my own 2 adopted mutts (and my 2 fur nephews). I grew up on a farm, so I’m pretty confident with animals, but if you have any concerns or special needs I’m happy to discuss or schedule a meet and greet! I work full time remotely, but have primary duties in the afternoon and evenings, so I’m almost always free for a midday stroll or potty break! At our house there are 4 dogs and lots of kids running in and out, but if your pup is okay with that there’s a huge back yard with a tether, or a neighborhood with sidewalks for walks if that’s more their speed. At your house, I follow your rules! I love to know your dogs favorite spots and which houses are “behind enemy lines.” I’m 6’4 and my hound is quite the rhinoceros, so I can walk the best of them!

About: I have taken care of pets since I was a kid. From my own pets, to family members' and neighbors' pets. I do have an AS degree in Animal Health and before college I was a dog groomer. I enjoy making furry friends. I am currently work remotely for myself. Therefore, I have plenty of time to play with and care for your pets. I am available anytime. When caring for your pets in your home, I will stick to their regular routines and schedules, while providing them some extra time and attention.

About: Growing up, I've always had animals in my life. At one point my family had four cats and three dogs! I absolutely adore animals and the comfort, joy, and love they provide to us humans. What better way to spend my free time than to spend it with fur babies! I'm currently employed full time as a licensed social worker, and would love to dedicate some of my free time to caring for animals. My work schedule is pretty flexible which would allow me to shift things around. If you're considering booking with me during the week and availabililty listed doesn't match, i recommend reaching out because i may just be able to accommodate it. Weekends are available as well. I offer a good balance of fun and energetic, and calm, relaxed, and secure environment for your animal friends. Communication is extremely important to me, and will ensure that this is the top priority to ensure that you feel at ease allowing your pets to be in my hands.

“THE PERFECT PET SITTER! Katy is trustworthy, communicative, flexible, and caring—I swear she took better care of Penny than we do! Katy followed every one of my psychotic instructions, sent us so many great videos and photos, and kept us informed at all times. She was proactive in confirming appointment times and asking questions, and most of all—she kept our pup entertained the entire time with walks, toys, outdoor play, runs, and lots of extra affection. I couldn’t ask for better. Thank you Katy!!”


“Lee was a fantastic caretaker for our 2 Labradors. One of our dogs is very shy and Lee took the time to connect with her. She was very dependable and was in constant communication with us about how they were doing. She stayed in our home and when we returned, Lee had taken the time to tidy up before we returned with some light cleaning. I would highly recommend Lee.”


About: I offer comprehensive pet care services backed by a lifetime of experience with diverse animals, from small rodents to large breeds like my Irish wolfhound. Having had cats since I was 10, I'm skilled in managing multiple pets, including reptiles like my tortoise and various birds. I'm comfortable walking dogs of all sizes and have a proven record of reliable pet-sitting, ensuring their animals are well-fed, cared for, and happy. As a pet sitter with a weekday job from 6:30 AM to 2:30 PM, I ensure your pets are well-cared for by providing a morning visit before work for feeding, fresh water, and a quick walk or playtime. During my workday, I can arrange a midday visit. After work, I dedicate my time to your pets, offering walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of cuddles. Weekends are fully devoted to providing extra care, including longer walks, park visits, and any specific grooming or playtime activities your pets enjoy. When caring for pets in a client's home, safety, trust, and a comfortable environment are my top priorities. I begin by thoroughly understanding each pet's specific needs, routines, and any medical conditions. I ensure the home is pet-proofed and free of hazards, and I strictly adhere to the owner's instructions regarding feeding, medication, and exercise. Building trust involves gentle interactions, consistent routines, and positive reinforcement. For overnight stays, I maintain a calm and secure atmosphere, respecting the pet's usual sleeping arrangements and providing companionship. During dog walks, I use a secure leash, remain vigilant of the surroundings, and follow the owner's preferred walking routes and commands, always prioritizing the pets safety and well-being.

About: As a prior dog owner, I have a big soft spot for them and would love to help take care of them. No problem at all with playing the day away. With a big park and beach to explore my routine consists of enjoying the natural beauty of the neighborhood and learning about the pet owners in the area. I like to provide quality care when I see the needs arise. From claw trims to brushing I love seeing a happy & healthy pet!


“Grace was wonderful with my French Bulldog puppy (4 months), Mousse. She stayed with him for four days and 3 nights. She was professional in every aspect of the assignment. She communicated with me regularly, followed the plan and most of all she gave Mousse lots to of love and attention. That includes keeping the training going on basic commands and Mousse sleeping in his crate. Thanks, Grace, for the 10/10 performance.i hope you’ll come back the next time.”


About: Hello,my name is Liz and I’ve been taking care of animals ever since I was 10. I’ve helped Neighbors,friends, family and coworkers take care of their cat,dog or small animals when they needed it. I’ve done things such as walks,baths, cleaning up after animals and giving them medication,and of course lots of love and attention. I also have lots of experience with small animals and reptiles, and even have volunteered at reptile and small animal rescues in the past. As of right now I can only offer Housesitting and drop in visits and walks outside of my home. I do work 35 hours a week, but I can work it into in my schedule I will make sure pets get walked, fed ,cleaned up after and receive lots of love and attention. I will also do things like bring in your mail and packages, tack out trash on trash day

About: I have been caring for cats and dogs since I was 19 and have grown up with pets my entire life. Over the years, I’ve become the trusted pet sitter for several households, with friends often recommending me to their families for both short and long-term care. My lifelong experience with having pets growing up gives me a deep understanding of the care and attention they need from when they are puppies to seniors. I know how important it is for pet owners to have peace of mind, and I’m committed to ensuring your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I work remotely for Mayo Clinic, allowing me the flexibility to provide dedicated and reliable care. I work remotely for Mayo Clinic, where I’ve been for over 1 year. I’m available most weekends. I prefer to plan house sitting at least 1-2 weeks in advance, but I’m flexible and can accommodate last-minute requests when needed! I am happy to take your dog outside for bathroom breaks and can stay with them if you prefer. I understand the challenges of not having a fenced yard, so I’m comfortable using a leash or yard chain as needed. I’m adaptable to your dog’s individual needs—whether they require extra attention or prefer their space. I’m also experienced in walking dogs and can provide any specific care they might need, including following detailed feeding schedules, administering medication, and more.


“Paula did a great job caring for our 2 dogs while we were away. She kept us informed of her drop ins and included pictures of our 2 guys. Our dogs were happy and content with Paula and we will certainly hire her again.”

Willowick pet parents share their Rover experiences
Tony was super communicated and kept us updated about how our fur children were through out our time away. He was very good at handling our dog (who needs medication twice a day) and was pleasant to meet! 10/10 would recommend! Will definitely book with him again!

Bethany did a wonderful job! She watched my two Bernese mountain dogs at my house and I returned to it cleaner than I left it. Our one dog is a puppy so I wanted to make sure his schedule was kept up since he’s nearly potty trained. Our older dog has been having some ear issues and takes medications. I know Bethany took great care of their special needs and that made vacation relaxing!
