“Perri is a fantastic house/dog sitter!!! We received countless photos every day of our dog Murph looking very content, happy, and well taken care of. We would highly recommend Perri!!”
“Ryan was a wonderful companion for our dog Bailey. She played Frisbee and tug with her daily. She communicated with us every day with pictures. I felt very confident that Bailey was well cared for while we were gone. I'm so happy to have found her!”
“Melissa was my first dogsitter and I couldn’t be happier. She met with Charli a few times before we left until she gained her trust. She kept us updated with pictures of their walks and played with her downstairs. Our home was exactly as we left as Melissa was very tidy. When we arrived home, Charli was very happy but she kept running to Melissa in her excitement. I love that I can ask Melissa to watch Charli again without hesitation. You can tell she loves the time she spends with her. Thank you, Melissa!”
“Sarah was very responsive and took great care of Ellie and Charlotte. The updates she sent us really showed me that our two girls became really comfortable with her quickly.”
“Katie is nothing short of amazing. There is always a little anxiety when leaving your pets to go away but I have never felt more comfortable with any other dog sitter than I did with Katie. She gave constant updates and pics to show us our little guy was be well cared for and having a blast! Katie is so sweet and kind and you can tell she has a true love for animals. We are so thankful we found her and will definitely be using her again!!!!”
“Lindsey did a great job taking care of our 3 fur babies while we were gone. She kept in contact with us everyday when she was leaving and returning as well as some adorable pictures of them all snuggling together while watching a movie. Lindsey left everything the way she found it and took great care of everything in our home as well. The pups were very happy when we returned home and were not stressed out at all. We will definitely use Lindsey again and highly recommend her.❤️”
“Words cannot explain how at peace we were with Gabriella being at our house for 2 weeks and taking care of our fur babies! The boys were well loved and taken care of, the house was spotless and the communication was top notch! Don't hesitate for a single second, she is the best one out there!!”
“I have had Stephanie watch my dogs twice now, and she is amazing with them! The second round, my senior dog had some unexpected GI issues that Stephanie handled perfectly. Clear communication, very responsive. I will definitely book again!”
“Total peace of mind! It’s hard to find someone you trust with your home and your pets, but Samantha exceeded all expectations. Our dogs were happy and calm when we returned.”
“Alex was amazing. She took care of our dog and cat, both can by a little challenging, and did everything we asked. We would definitely recommend her to anyone needing care for their pets.”
“Alex & his wife took care of my 3 pups over a long weekend. I had them stay at my home as 2 are foster dogs & more comfortable here now. Everything was great & the pups were well taken care of.”
“Latasha was wonderful! From the beginning she came for a meet and greet and got down on the floor with my Percy! She asked very specific questions about his routine and wanted to ensure he was as comfortable as possible. During her stay she was very interactive with Percy. Took him on outings and walks and made sure he had plenty of play time and attention. On a night of a storm she let Percy sleep in bed with her to help comfort him!! Any concerns she had she messaged me immediately. She was great about sending updates and pictures to make sure I felt he was in good hands which definitely decreased my worries. Latasha treated my home with respect and left my home just as she found it. She even helped me with my newly planted garden to ensure it stayed watered while I was away. I will definitely use Latasha again in the future.”
“Claudia was great as always! She communicated well the entire time, sent updates and photos, and loved on our two dogs like they were her own. Our boys love spending time with her and we love that we can trust Claudia. We will book again with her in the future!”

Perri took very good care of our active 1 1/2year old dog Clare. Our house was well taken care of and she sent updates with pictures twice a day which was appreciated. She went above and beyond walking, monitoring (deer), taking her to training and playing with her. We came home to a happy puppy. Thank you Perri! You did everything we asked and more!
Lori was fantastic and we will definitely use her again if possible. Our Ollie is a rescue and very skidish around strangers. While he never warmed up to her enough to be petted, he did get close enough to take treats when offered. Lori never forced the situation with him. She sent us messages with updates and pictures throughout the weekend. You can tell that Lori is a real dog lover and your pet is safe with her.
I didn't have to worry one second. Cynthia did more than I expected for my Lucky. The pictures were great and I think she should be a photographer to add to her many activities. This was especially good because it was last minute and she wasn't the least bothered by it. I plan to ask her again very soon.
Kelsey is fabulous! She watched my 4 pups and my son’s pup for a week. She sent pictures and updates. We were in communication throughout our trip. We came home and the pups were happy, the house was clean and laundry done! It was so wonderful to come in and not have to instantly start cleaning! She loves the dogs and I will definitely book with her again whenever she is available. Cannot recommend her enough!!
Lindsey did a great job sitting for my 2 dogs. She even took them for walks together which I have never done since I have a large fenced in yard. I believe they both warmed up to her and loved the walks. She was always quick to respond and kept me informed on how things were going. I came home to happy dogs which is always a good sign. I would highly recommend Lindsey to anyone looking for a dog sitter.
This is the second time Tarah has taken care of our pups and our house, and once again she did an outstanding job. This visit was a little more challenging because we left her with our 10-month-old, 100+ lb puppy who is recovering from elbow surgery. He required extra attention, careful activity restrictions, and medication, and we felt completely confident knowing he was in her care. Tarah kept us updated with messages and photos, and it was clear our dogs were happy, comfortable, and well loved while we were away. She also took great care of our home, leaving everything just as we left it. It's such a relief to have someone we trust with both our dogs and our house. We wouldn't hesitate to book Tarah again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable, caring, and responsible pet sitter.
Lawton took wonderful care of our dogs and our home while we were away for more than two weeks. From the very beginning, she was thoughtful, attentive, and communicative, sending us daily updates that gave us great peace of mind. One of our dogs is extremely shy and takes a long time to warm up to new people, but Lawton was incredibly patient and gentle with her. She clearly put in the extra effort to build trust and help her feel comfortable, which meant a lot to us. She also made sure both dogs got plenty of exercise through long walks and kept them engaged and stimulated throughout our trip. We are so grateful for the care she provided and would happily trust her with our pets again. Thank you, Lawton!
One of the best Dog Sitter I have ever had, willing to work with us in every capacity, and very, very, very good with elderly dogs. They absolutely adored him and took to him instantly I would recommend this gentleman to anyone that comes across my path 100%.
Wow! This was our first experience with Rover and we were very fortunate to find Jeremy. Everything about the experience was first class. I highly recommend Jeremy, but I selfishly do so with caution. Everyone will want to hire him and he won’t be available for us next time. Definitely a 5 star experience. Jeremy was prompt, communicative, respectful, attentive to our requests, also to the animals, and flexible in his schedule. Thank you Jeremy.
Shruti was absolutely wonderful! She took excellent care of my dog and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. She sent frequent updates, photos, and videos, which I really appreciated- it was clear my dog was happy, comfortable, and having a great time. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving caregiver for their pet!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Winchester on Rover is $44.12 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 1,610 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Winchester. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Winchester 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 Winchester 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.
Tip: 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 Winchester 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 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.

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.
