“Cheryl was very kind and accommodating! I was having phone service issues while traveling and in addition to logging reports in Rover she took extra time to text me as well. I felt comfortable leaving our old, skittish, newly adopted cat with her and would definitely recommend!”
“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!”
“James is the best!!! Very communicative, provides full run through of activities and behaviors during the visit. He is very loving to the dogs and takes lots of photos and videos! Will 100% book again.”
“This is the second time Bonnie has watched my two cats while we were out of town, and I can't recommend her enough! I feel so comfortable knowing she is checking in on them. She is sweet and patient with them and provides great updates. I know they are in great hands while we are away.”
“Caroline did a great job checking in on my cat while I was away on vacation. She kept everything neat and tidy, paid attention to detail, and was fast/prompt with any communication. Would definitely recommend and will rebook if needed in the future.”
“Sanela did an amazing job caring for our two boy cats! She provided many photos and videos during her visits with them and that was so nice to see while we were away. She was very communicative throughout the entire process and also let me set up a FaceTime call with her prior to the visits to show her around our home. Right off the bat I could tell that she loves caring for animals, and that our boys would be in great hands. We came home to a clean apartment and happy and healthy kitties, and we are excited to use Sanela again for future visits!”
“Angela has been wonderful with our new puppy. She is well organized and able to give us an accurate sense of her availability. Angela also clearly has a love and knowledge for animals and is quite responsible which leaves us feeling comfortable with her watching after our puppy. She is great with communication and we look forward to continuing to work with her!”
“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 :)”
“We have been using Shawn for over 6 months for weekday drop-in visits with a very elderly dog. Shawn has been 100% reliable and a total pro the one time that the dog became very ill while home alone in the morning. Shawn invented a new outside game for our 13-yr-old pup, and now the dog wants to play the Shawn game anytime we are in the yard. We feel extremely fortunate to have found Shawn on Rover…she gives us total peace of mind that our wonderful dog is well-cared for. Shawn is completely trustworthy and totally dedicated to the well-being of our pet.”
“Yuzhou was great! She was very attentive and sent lots of photos throughout the stay. Luna is usually shy with sitters, but she warmed up to her right away — a rare sign of trust. We also came home to a sweet handwritten card. Truly grateful, and I’d definitely book her again!”
“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.”
“It was my third time working with Yesika. She accommodated my last minute booking request. As always, Yesika was very punctual, responsive and communicative. My cat seemed to like her and feel comfortable around her, which was a big relief for me 🥰”
“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!”
About: Ive taken care of dogs most of my life and owned one for 6 years. I’ve walked dogs big and small and my own has given me great experience with reactive dogs. I once worked as a kennel attendant for a local animal hospital which gave me experience with lots of different breeds and special feeding needs. I work full time so I am available evenings during the week, and anytime on the weekends when I’m not with my own furry friend I wont be offering any in home pet care services at this time. I live in a small apartment unit with a medium size dog
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my deep compassion, patience, and experience with dogs who need extra attention—especially those with anxiety or special routines. I have hands-on experience caring for senior dogs, puppies, and pets who struggle with separation anxiety. My own dog, Sasha, has anxiety, so I understand the importance of gentle care, consistency, and emotional support. I treat every pet like family, and I’m committed to creating a calm, safe, and loving environment while you’re away. Whether your pup needs long walks, slow introductions, or just a cozy lap to nap on—I’ve got you covered! Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I have Mondays and Tuesdays off, which gives me plenty of time for daytime walks and drop-ins. On other days, I’m able to fit in visits between school and work—and I don’t mind doing late-night drop-ins if your pet needs evening attention. Caring for animals is something I truly enjoy, so I’m happy to make it a priority in my schedule. I’m dependable, flexible, and always focused on making pets feel safe and loved while you’re away. I only offer pet care in the client’s home because I believe pets are happiest and most comfortable in their own familiar environment. I follow your pet’s routine closely—whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, or administering medication. I respect your space, keep things tidy, and make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away. My goal is always to provide reliable, stress-free care that gives both you and your pet peace of mind.
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.
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Winchester is $25

We all love Shawn! She's been caring for our puppy 4x/week for the last month. She's consistent, thoughtful, and he's so happy to see her each morning. Communication has been super easy and she's very attentive to the daily, ever-changing needs of a new puppy. Thanks Shawn!
Sanela was such a wonderful caretaker of not only my beloved cats but also my garden during an insane heatwave while she was cat seating. She was communicative, shared a lot of information about how my cats were doing and she played with them so much I know they were happy and taken care of during my time away.
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!
Olivia was an amazing sitter for the cats! Sent lots of pictures and videos, and I appreciated how thoughtful Olivia was with giving the cats the care, attention, and playtime that they needed! Olivia is personable and a great communicator. We would totally rebook again!

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Winchester on Rover is $32.1 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 10,791 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:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
