“Hannah was very compassionate and understanding of my anxiety about leaving my precious tiny senior chihuahua in a hotel in Vegas. She FaceTimed me Before and assured me she was in good hands. She sent me pictures throughout her stay with Coco. Took her for a walk my baby was peacefully sleeping when I got back to the hotel after the concert. I highly recommend trusting Hannah to care for your beloved pet!”
“I highly recommend Jill as a pet sitter. She took exceptional care of my two Maine Coon cats while I was away and gave me complete peace of mind. She spent quality time playing with them, making sure they received plenty of attention, affection, and exercise. Jill also went above and beyond by keeping my home clean and tidy throughout her stay. It was wonderful to return to a well-maintained house and two happy, relaxed cats. One thing I especially appreciated was the regular updates and photos she sent. Seeing my cats comfortable and well cared for made being away from them much easier.”
“Megan was an absolute sweetheart! She was attentive and aware of his needs even as they changed throughout the week. She sent daily updates and photos. Frankie was her best friend and I felt totally at ease. Wonderful sitter! Thank you again.”
“Shando was an excellent sitter. He was wonderful with Diego, who quickly warmed up to him, and kept our home safe & clean! Shando went above and beyond to accommodate our needs. He is our go to sitter in Las Vegas.”
“Andwele has watched our home and 3 pets many times over the last year and we are so happy we found him. He’s great with the furbabies. Keeps us up to date and in touch while we are gone.”
About: My experience with animals, especially dogs, started early. I grew up having many dogs and have been around them my whole life, from chihuahuas to German shepherds. I have cared for dogs of all sizes and ages. I also volunteer weekly at my local humane society, where I help with cats, kittens, dogs, and puppies. My responsibilities include walking, feeding, cleaning, socializing animals, and monitoring their health and behavior. Animals are a huge part of my life, and I always treat them with the same love, patience, and care I give my own pets. As a college student, I have a very open and flexible schedule. I occasionally babysit and dog-sit for families in my area, but my time is mostly free and I’m able to adjust my availability as needed. I’m happy to help during weekdays, weekends, and even holidays if needed. I'm dependable, punctual, and always willing to work around your schedule to make sure your pets get the best care possible. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or a client’s, I always prioritize the animal’s comfort, safety, and routine. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions carefully to maintain their pet’s usual schedule—this includes feeding times, walk routines, playtime, medication, and any specific care needs. I make sure the pet feels calm and secure by giving them plenty of attention, love, and positive interaction. If I’m caring for pets in my own home, I create a safe and pet-friendly environment where they have space to play, rest, and feel at ease. I introduce them slowly to my own pets if needed and make sure everyone is supervised and comfortable. I always keep things clean, organized, and stress-free so that every pet feels like part of the family while they’re with me. No matter the setting, I treat every animal with patience, kindness, and respect—just like I do with my own.
“Olivia did an amazing job! She took wonderful care of my pup and kept him excellent company, kept me in the loop, and sent a lot of pictures. My dog had a great time with her and I would absolutely hire her again!”
“We’re so glad we found Jorie! She was responsive and set up a meet and greet for us. Our pup Madden felt comfortable right away. Jorie kept us updated and was in communication our entire trip and sent photos of our pup a couple times each day which we loved!!! We felt at ease and our pup had a great time! We highly recommend! Thank you Jorie!”
About: I’ve cared for animals for my entire life. I absolutely adore taking care of all of them, and have 2 kitties of my own! I can handle anything from the most energetic of puppies to the laziest of seniors! Currently, I work part-time and am available anytime to come care for your pet! I can also drop by in early mornings to come feed, let out, and love on your fur baby. I can do drop-in visits and give your baby a buddy to hang out with for a while. Let them out, lounge around, whatever’s needed from me. I always make sure that my cats feel comfortable and well-loved. I will ensure your pups & kitties feel the same!
“Redmond was the first sitter I had stay in my home to watch my pets. He made me feel comfortable with knowing he will follow all instructions left to care for my two pets. He went above and beyond just pet sitting. He made sure he left the space he was in better than when he arrived. Thank you, Redmond. I truly appreciate the check in with photos.”
“The best! Our dog is quite anxious, but the moment Joy walked in, I knew Smooch would have an amazing day with someone who really cares about dogs, their personality and knows what he’s doing. Besides Joy’s dog sitting gig started at 6am on a Sunday for a full long day! Super grateful to have found Joy.”
“Olivia took excellent care of my dog, my cat, and my sister's dog as well! She stayed in my home for a three day, two night petsitting request, and she took great care of my house & belongings as well. Olivia is very pleasant to be around, and the animals loved her. She'll provide plenty of cuddle time as well as play time, and she follows detailed instructions without issue. I'd certainly hire her again. Thank you!”
“Kris was fantastic and so supportive. She communicated clearly and made sure Cleo had everything she needed. She left the house super clean, I am so thankful for her time. I will gladly hire her again.”
“MeiLing responded to texts, sent pics of our dogs, and we returned home to 2 happy dogs and a clean house. Was friendly and the dogs seemed to really take to her. Would definitely use her again in the future!”
“Nadine was absolutely wonderful with our dogs! One of them has special needs, and she handled everything with care and attention. She was a great communicator from start to finish—asking thoughtful questions, keeping us updated, and sending plenty of videos so we could see how happy and comfortable the dogs were. It’s clear she truly loves what she does, and our pups loved her right back. I plan on booking with her often in the future. Highly recommend!”
“Mandi was fantastic! We have a very large, reactive and anxiety ridden dog and she was very patient with him and got him to like her within a few minutes. Something he doesn’t do easily with new people. She sent pictures and videos of him playing while she stayed at our house. Will absolutely be using her to watch our big guy again!”

Mariana was fantastic! We were in a time crunch and wanted to do a meet & greet asap. She came the same night. After the meet & greet my husband Will & I felt very comfortable leaving town & trusting her with our babies & house. She is great with communication & following directions. We came back to happy pups & a clean house. Thank you Mariana! Can’t wait to book with you again.
Jeter loves spending time with Jessica! She takes such great care and has amazing attention to detail. She ensured that he had a lot of enrichment, providing play, giving him his lick mat & puzzle toy, and taking him for a long walk. We look forward to booking her again!
Stephanie was absolutely incredible, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. We have a multi-pet household with several cats, multiple who require daily medication, and a rabbit, so our daily needs are complicated! Stephanie handled everything flawlessly and went above and beyond in every way. She was extremely reliable, communicative, and thoughtful. She sent daily updates with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It made such a difference being able to fully relax and enjoy our trip knowing our pets were in such capable and caring hands. When we got home, the house looked amazing—all the litter boxes were clean and everything was exactly how we left it. Most importantly, our pets were happy and comfortable, and it genuinely seemed like they bonded with her while we were gone. We felt complete trust and confidence in Stephanie from start to finish. She truly exceeded our expectations, and we would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for a dependable, attentive, and compassionate sitter.
We’re so glad we found Jorie! She was responsive and set up a meet and greet for us. Our pup Madden felt comfortable right away. Jorie kept us updated and was in communication our entire trip and sent photos of our pup a couple times each day which we loved!!! We felt at ease and our pup had a great time! We highly recommend! Thank you Jorie!
Yuliya was absolutely amazing! Our 3 pups took to her immediately and loved her. One of our dogs was coming off an eye infection and she was great with keeping up his eye drops regimen. She was by far the best sitter we've had when it comes to sending us regular pics and videos! She took some of the best pics/vids of the dogs that we have. They never pose like that for us...! It was very clear that they dogs were very happy with her and had an absolute blast. She is very communicative and one of the nicest people. My husband and I also became very friendly with her, as did our neighbors. She is very considerate and left our condo clean. The dogs clearly missed her after she left. We would absolutely rebook her for every trip of ours if she's available! Very highly recommended!

FAQs for House Sitting - Winchester
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Winchester on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of June 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 June 2026, there are 1,636 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.
