“Debra was AMAZING! She was so thoughtful and really gave the best care to our babies. She gave us great peace of mind while we were away. We are so thankful to have found our new babysitter!🥰”

About: I am attentive, dependable, and experienced in providing compassionate care while closely monitoring health and behavior. I have cared for dogs and cats of various ages, sizes, and temperaments, including energetic puppies, senior pets, and those requiring medication. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I strive to keep their routine consistent, reduce stress, and provide plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while you're away.

“Came home to a happy, healthy cat! Laura was great, she took care of my high maintenance, wild child while I was away even though he's a handful. Came home to a clean house, and she was nice enough to bring in my package from outside. Loved that Laura kept me updated daily, as it was my first time leaving my cat after recently getting him and the fact that he's an escape artist (she had no issues with him on that front though!), so I was a nervous cat mom. I'll definitely be in touch next time I need a cat sitter. Highly recommend!”

About: I have been dogsitting for over 5 years. The clients I have worked for I have done overnight stays, dog walks, and day sitting for up to 8-10 hours. I do have one dog I sit for that doesn’t do walks so I adjust to what the clients needs. On overnight stays, I do clean up and bring in mail/ newspaper if the clients ask. I am a big animal lover so your dog/ cat will get lots of love. I do have a clients that likes to receive pictures during my stay. The dog will get plenty of exercise and playtime. Also I am flexible and very reliable. I can provide references of my regulars if needed and their type of dog. I enjoy providing lots of fun and love. I am flexible and reliable. I am able to meet to whatever the client might need. I am available whatever day and time. I do my best to meet the needs of the client. I haven’t cared for other animals in my home besides my own. When I go to someone’s residence, I follow what the owner normally does. I am usually left instructions to follow.
About: Families book with me for loving, family-style care, frequent photo updates (if desired), and the peace of mind that comes from working with a sitter trusted by repeat clients since 2021. 🐶 I simply love dogs. They are truly my passion. 🐾 Caring for them isn’t just something I do, it’s something that fills my heart. 💚 I have a special love and deep experience with breeds such as English Bulldogs, French Bulldogs, Lhasa Apsos, Shih Tzus, Shorkies, Greyhounds, Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, and Bernedoodles, but I genuinely enjoy caring for all breeds and personalities. Every pup deserves to feel safe, adored, and understood. Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. While I can’t be a full-time fur mama to them all, dog sitting allows me to pour love into as many pups as possible and I wouldn’t trade that for anything. It has been such a blessing to learn and care for new breeds through my bookings. Each dog I welcome into my home deepens my knowledge, strengthens my skills, and grows my love for dogs even more. What truly sets me apart is the family experience I provide. When your dog stays with me, they aren’t just “watched”—they become part of our home. While your family is away, your fur baby enjoys a warm, loving, family-style environment filled with cuddles, attention, and genuine connection. I happily send plenty of photo updates (if desired) so you can relax knowing your pup is safe, happy, and well-loved. My family loves dogs too, and on occasion, trusted family members may stop by simply to meet my furry clients and share a few extra cuddles (not to assist with care), but purely because they enjoy loving on dogs. 🐶 Some of my favorite repeat clients even get to travel with me, including family visits and store outings (photos available!). Your dog gets real-life experiences, companionship, and enrichment—not just a place to stay. Over the years, I have lovingly been a full-time fur mom to up to three dogs at the same time, gaining daily, hands-on experience managing multiple dogs under one roof. Currently, my home includes Khaleesi, my sweet English Bulldog girl. I also carry deep love for my Lhasa Apso, who crossed the rainbow bridge in August 2023 🌈. My Shorkie was lovingly rehomed with an older family member to provide emotional support, and while she no longer lives in my home, she remains part of my extended family story. I’m also what I proudly call a “Mid-Woof” 🐶—I have independently and successfully delivered 4 litters of puppies in my home and have personally whelped, nursed, and raised two litters until 4–8 weeks of age before helping them find their forever homes. I understand canine behavior, comfort, and care on a deeper level than most. I will love on your fur baby as if they were my own. Bulldogs, in particular, require a special level of patience, knowledge, and care and if you’re a bulldog parent, I’m absolutely your girl. (Bulldog hugs are always welcome 😉) I’m proud to share that I have 10+ repeat clients, including several families who have trusted me with their fur babies consistently since 2021—relationships built on love, reliability, and peace of mind. I look forward to being your dog’s Bonus Mom while you’re away. Let’s get your pup booked, loved, and spoiled! 🐾💕 I work in an office Monday–Friday but return home on lunch breaks for potty breaks and check-ins. After working from home for seven years, I’ve adjusted my availability while remaining intentional and reliable. I’m a mom to young children under 10 who are gentle, respectful, and great with dogs 🥰. I’m available for daytime drop-in visits, and on weekends (when in town) I’m fully available for dog sitting in your home, my home, or for additional check-ins. I have plenty of grassy space where I live in a dog friendly neighborhood. I also have a fur baby to keep your dogs company if needed for service in my home. I have a dog area set up in my home. We also travel to dog parks when weather permits, if your dog needs activities, we will go on walks and even to our favorite dog park!
“I recently moved from NY to KY and was in need of someone to help care for my four dogs. I had spoken to many people and wasn’t comfortable with anyone as I had my prior dog walker in Ny for over 10 years. I found Tanika and she and I hit it off right away: she was super accommodating to my ever changing schedule. I was nervous to have my one rescue dog meet anyone because he could be unpredictable. Tanika came armed with treats and was relaxed and so easy going with all the dogs that he took to her first!!!! Tanika had been above and beyond amazing . She helps with my dogs that have medical issues and she is always there when and if I need her. She takes care of my dogs as if they were her own and I’ve never had to worry about them when I’m away. She is an absolute god send and I highly recommend her!”
About: I am a huge animal person! I have a special interest in feline care, and currently working with a bunch of feral community cats, as well as volunteering at animal shelters with both cats and dogs. I have grown up around all kinds of animals, and currently have 2 dogs and a cat. I’m currently a college student looking for employment, so my schedule is pretty open! I’m free to hang out with your pets any time right now! I have a fenced in yard, and multiple rooms to seperate and rotate if needed. My dogs are friendly, and my cat will keep her distance, likely staying in my room.
“Kristen did a great job for us. We contacted her at the last moment, she came to our house without a pre-booking visit, and our dog adjusted very quickly to her without ever meeting her. Kristen was punctual and followed our instructions. Overall, a great experience with Kristen.”


“Joseph was wonderful and I highly recommend him! He took such great care of my cat and made sure that Kodak felt comfortable around him. He always included pictures with his check-ins which I really appreciated. I will definitely book him again if I get the chance!”

“Casey was great watching my two cats while I was gone for over a week! Very easy communication and she sent me so many photos which was great for my peace of mind. My cats warmed up to her so quickly and the photos she was sending me cuddling with the boys made me know my cats were well taken care of while I was away. I’d recommend Casey to anyone looking for someone to watch their pet while they are away, thanks Casey!”


About: I have had animals in the house my entire life. I have always had at least four growing up to sometimes six ranging from cats, dogs and guinea pigs. I currently have a cat of my own here at college who i adore. I am a college student at ETSU. This summer I am spending it in Kentucky where I do work part-time. Schedule does vary but I can make sure your animal is fit in and taken care of properly. I have a cat who has her own litter box, fun little toys, food that she loves, and always my company. With other people’s animals I consider myself to be very caring and loving towards them.

We cannot recommend Laura enough! She took such wonderful care of our cat, Phineas, while we were away. Laura is incredibly kind, caring, and trustworthy, and it was obvious from the start that she truly loves the animals she cares for. She kept us updated with pictures and messages throughout our trip, which gave us so much peace of mind. We came home to a happy, relaxed, well-loved cat, and that means everything to us. We will absolutely be booking with her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Winchester on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 746 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Winchester. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Winchester stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Winchester. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
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.
