About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up surrounded by dogs, cats, birds, fish, turtles, hamsters, gerbils, and even chickens, and each one taught me something different about patience, joy, and unconditional love. Over the years, I’ve rescued dogs, helped others find their forever homes, and volunteered at shelters and adoption events. I have a soft spot for senior pets and pups with special needs. My dog Dumba is turning 16 this February, and supporting her through her golden years has taught me how to be gentle, attentive, and adaptable. Before Dumba, my dog Cookies bravely fought cancer for many months, and I cared for him through two surgeries and ongoing treatment. Because of experiences like these, I’m comfortable administering medication, monitoring health changes, and giving extra support to pets who need a little more care. I also love working with cats! Since rescuing Zoro when he was only 8 weeks old, I have developed experience with basic grooming, brushing, and keeping litter areas clean and comfortable. Your pets are family, and I’ll care for them with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. My schedule is flexible, and I’m happy to accommodate your pet’s routine. I'm currently offering daily walks and drop‑in services. I live in Winchester and know the area well, so your dog can enjoy peaceful walks around Horn Pond or fun playtime at Sheepfold Dog Park. I share my home with my senior dog, Dumba, and my goofy cat, Zoro. They’re both used to being around other animals, but my space isn’t large enough to comfortably or safely host additional pets. Because of that, I offer care exclusively in your home, where your pet feels most secure and where their routine stays consistent. When I’m caring for your pet, I follow your house rules and make sure your pet’s environment stays familiar and stress free. My goal is to respect your home, maintain your pet’s routine, and give them attentive, loving care while you’re away.
“Cheryl did an excellent job of looking after Bobo, our 11 year old cat. It is obvious that she is passionate about her work and is a skilled pet sitter. Bobo is usually skittish with strangers but it was clear from the photos and texts she sent us that they have become fast friends. We will certainly use her again!”
“Angela has watched my cat Mason twice while I've been out of the country and she put my mind at ease! She sends lovely pictures and updates about him and when I get home, he's very calm and relaxed, rather than stressed from my being away. I'd recommend Angela to any cat parents!”
“James dropped in on our cat for us while we were away for a weekend and did an amazing job! From sending hilarious pictures and videos while spending quality play time with her to going above and beyond by dealing with some house issues that arose, we could not have felt that she was better taken care of. And I think she found a new best friend!”
“Caroline was very friendly. She did a great job taking care of our cat Leo while we were away. Would highly recommend and rebook with her again the next time we go away! Thank you Caroline”
“Sanela was lovely! She became cuddle buddies immediately with our cats. Great with communication. Her check in comments, pictures, and punctuality immediately calmed any anxiety we had about leaving our boys.”
“Yesika is an outstanding sitter. Trustworthy and consistent, she took care of my cat for several weeks during a long vacation. She is able to communicate well and I trust her to take care of any issues that may arise. I would highly recommend her for future pet visits and would definitely be interested in employing her again!”
“Thank you, Jolene, for checking in on my two cats over a holiday weekend with a last minute booking! Jolene’s communication and timing was excellent. While checking on the cats, she filled their bowls, gave them treats, and brushed them. I appreciated her time and attention!”
“Noila took amazing care of my two kitties for two full weeks! She sent daily pictures and videos of them playing, and included any other information about her check ins with them. She made leaving town so much less stressful! Fantastic experience.”
“Angela took great care of our dog during a weekend away. She is an excellent communicator and sent lots of pictures too keep us posted of drop ins and walks. Would definitely ask her to help us out next time we need to go out of town.”
“I really cant say enough about how amazing Shawn was! She was so helpful as we were leaving our dog home alone overnight for the first time and also using Rover for the first time. She was super communicative, had so many great suggestions for how to arrange visits, and answered all our questions in detail. She is very professional and you can tell she cares a lot about the dogs she watches. Would book with her again in a heartbeat!”
“Natalie is incredible! She not only spends time with my kitties but makes sure they are healthy and happy! She is so helpful with my Socket’s medical needs and makes me feel comfortable knowing they are well cared for while I’m away. Thank you again for another wonderful visit!”
“Nina stepped in on short notice and took great care of Remi. It was pouring rain and Nina went above and beyond to make sure Remi got dried off and settled in. Highly recommend!”
“Page was an AMAZING pet sitter for our two cats. She was so prompt and helpful when we first established service, and even came over once before our trip to get acquainted with our cats and see our supplies. She always texted before she came over, took awesome photos, followed our care instructions exactly, and even went above and beyond! Since we were away for a while, she swept up and wiped down surfaces occasionally to keep our cats comfortable. We will absolutely be booking with her again and wish we had found her sooner! Thank you so much again Page for your stellar work :)”
“Elisangela was great with watching my two cats while I was away on vacation. She dropped in on the dates and times as discussed, sent plenty of updates and pictures. Would highly recommend!”
“Yuting was super easy to communicate with and extremely prompt on her reply (especially with myself needing the check-in about 40 minutes ahead of schedule). On top of that, I had complete peace of mind that she was the one checking in on my old man (cat), especially after reading her profile and a brief chat with her. Extremely happy she had availability for me, and definitely will be booking again!”
About: I adopted my first dog in second grade. He was my responsibility and as I got older, I learned that I loved going for walks outside as much as my dog. Now that I'm older, I love taking friends' dogs for hikes in new locations. I have even managed to train one of my friend's reactive dog so she pulls on the leash less. I also briefly fostered animals when I was in graduate school. I am a teacher on summer break, so I have plenty of hours to devote to your pet and look forward to enjoying plenty of summer outside time with your dog. I have walked a wide range of dogs, including a couple of reactive pit bull mixes. I have experienced triggering situations with dogs and know how to either handle them or avoid them.
“Sophia did a great job taking care of Oreo and giving her lots of playtime and cuddles! She also kept a consistent schedule and was on top of all the daily responsibilities, will definitely book again :)”

Bonnie did an excellent job of taking care of our two cats while we were away for two weeks. We greatly appreciated how communicative she was about each visit, and everything she did for the cats. I also appreciated how she was able to accommodate us on very short notice, which removed a lot of the stress of getting a sitter in time (our travel was at the last minute, so we were kind of scrambling).
Blane did a phenomenal job taking care of my cat, Auggie! The level of detail and care that Blane put into Auggie’s Rover cards was awesome—lots of photos, details about what they did together, and info about Auggie’s behavior. Blane was always responsive, showed attention to detail, and got along so well with Auggie despite this sit being their first time meeting each other. I booked Blane as a last minute, fill-in sitter, but I will definitely be rebooking. Highly recommend!
This was my third time booking Anneke for drop-in visits to take care of my two cats while I'm out of town. She is fantastic! She is very reliable and clearly cares about the happiness of my pets. She always checks in to make sure my travel home isn't delayed so the cats don't go too long without food. I feel very confident leaving my fur babies at home knowing Anneke will visit them.
This was our first time booking a petsitting request with Natalie, and she did an excellent job taking care of our cat! She provided great photos that showed how she performed all the care tasks we asked her to do. Our cat, who is normally skittish around strangers, took a liking to her! We recommend Natalie :)
Anneliese was a great sitter who was able to jump in after I found her with minimal notice. She was communicative about the visits and she was prompt with her timing. She did a great job with the pets, administering medicine for one of the cats and doing the food and litter box as needed. She sent photos and the cats seemed to love her! Would definitely connect with Anneliese for any subsequent pet care needs. Thanks again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Winchester on Rover is $32.75 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 Cat 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 4,875 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Winchester. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

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.
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.
