“Hannah did an amazing job taking care of my German Shepherd. My dog loved her, she has strong communication, and I will hopefully book her again. Thank you Hannah for taking such great care of my boy.”
“Mackenzie was the absolute best sitter for my fiancée and I. Our dog Moonie can be a bit skittish and takes some time warming up to people but she loved being around Mackenzie. She took the time to come and meet Moonie a couple times before so that Moonie could be used to being around her. Mackenzie took great care of our home and of Moonie. She was very responsive and sent plenty of photos and updates on our girl. I couldn’t recommend Mackenzie enough. She is great!!”
“Elsie was fantastic and my fur babies loved having her taking care of them. She sent plenty of pictures and updates and I was completely at ease while I was away traveling. I’d highly recommend her to anyone that is needing any type of pet sitting services and I’ll definitely use her services again.”
“Jill was a life saver! I needed someone to take care of my husky the very next day and luckily Jill was available and willing to help us out on very short notice! Jill did a meet and greet and my dog, Kane, fell in love with her immediately. Animals can definitely tell when someone is an animal lover and Jill definitely is! We needed someone to house sit Kane early in the morning, like 6 am early! And Jill was right on time. I love her pleasant attitude and positive energy. When we were leaving Jill was very smart to think it would be easier to give Kane a walk while we left the house, which it was. Jill comes prepared with an eager, energetic outlook. She is so friendly, kind, and easy to talk to. We were completely confident that Kane was in safe hands. We love Jill and recommend her to anyone and everyone that could use her services. We will definitely be reaching to Jill again for our next service needs. Thank you Jill!”
“Elena was amazing with my puppy, she is super sweet, kind and knowledgeable which made it 100% more comfortable leaving my puppy in her care. Elena was very accommodating with scheduling, she watched Jake for three days during my stay in Vegas. I received plenty of updates and photos of Jake throughout visits. I will definitely book Elena in the future! 🐾”
“Faith did amazing! She was so sweet with all of my babies. I have 2 dogs (one came out of town with me), 3 cats, 2 turtles, and a gecko, so I have quite the crew! She checked on my reptiles, cuddled with my dog all day, and continuously checked in on both my kittens and my older cat. Her communication was amazing, and she sent me tons of photos and updates throughout my trip. When I got home, the house was picked up and everything and everyone looked great. She truly went above and beyond! I 100% recommend Faith and will definitely continue using her in the future!”
About: I have worked with 2 rescues in the Las Vegas area for several years, volunteering and fostering. I currently have my 33rd foster. My home has been inspected and approved by both rescues for all dogs, small to large. I primarily do medical rehabs and I am comfortable administering any medications or working with any pet who might have specific needs that require a little extra care. Having worked with so many, I am able to quickly read each pup and adjust for their comfort. My home is quiet and serene for animals that are not used to noise and total access to the backyard thru the doggie door. I will keep your baby on the schedule they are used to. Not only will your baby be safe, we will have a lot of fun. I keep them engaged with various activities throughout their time in my care and will send consistent updates so you can have peace of mind. I currently work from home so I will be able to keep a close eye on your baby. I do daily walks and we visit the dog park often. All my animals have the freedom to enjoy the entire home. I will not crate your pet unless specifically asked to. I have a doggy door for easy access and my dogs sleep in the bed with me. I do not have children and I live alone so my home is very quiet.
“Megan was amazing. She was extra caring for our old pup and even gave baths to our rescued Frenchie skin issues. She kept the house clean, even watered my mom‘s plants. She communicated well and we would absolutely book her again.”
“Mandi is a great sitter—my little one can be a bit nervous and she takes amazing care of her. She always lets me know what’s going on and if she’s going to be at the house or out for a bit. I have 100% confidence that my baby is well-looked after and loved on when I am gone!”
“Natalya was excellent. She communicated. She was friendly, followed directions and attentive to Koa. I know he enjoyed her company, companionship and time with Natalya. She has a great love for animals.💥”
“Katie spent time walking playing and petting my three Extra large babies each visit! She was comfortable walking my muscular Staffordshire pit bull and loving towards all. My two 9 month old Golden Doodles got plenty of attention and playtime in! I will hire her again!”
“Nina is the best! She loves on our dogs, one of which can sometimes not be loveable to others. She is loving & caring and truly makes me feel they are totally safe so we can travel. And always communicates daily along with sending pictures! ❤️”
“Hilda did a wonderful job watching Rocky. Lots of picture and play time. She was very respectful of our home and our dog. Would highly recommend using Hilda. We will for sure!”
“Jorie has been my go to babysitter without fail every single time I travel, which is quite frequently. I don’t trust a lot of people with Vicki but she loves Jorie (likely more than she loves me). She’s always a text away and super responsive. Since moving to Chicago, she’s been an enormous source of support.”
“Shando did a wonderful job. I came home to a clean house and a very happy dog. He stayed in touch with me while I was gone, sent me pictures and let me know how Crixus was doing. He is responsible and very kind. My dog has a new best friend! I should be jealous, but I'm not. I'm glad I found him !”
“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.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Winchester
Cally is the best cat sitter I’ve ever had! My Lucy is usually a little shy at first, but she took to Cally immediately. Cally is conscientious, attentive, and sent so many adorable photos every day, along with consistent updates throughout her stay. We felt completely at ease knowing Lucy was in the best possible care. Cally truly goes above and beyond, and we will absolutely be hiring her again!
Faith is an excellent and caring dog sitter. She goes above and beyond, sending photos and videos daily. Faith had her work cut out for her as she watched my newly acquired shelter chihuahua. She has a history with high-risk shelter dogs, which made her a perfect fit. I highly recommend her and will be using her services again in the future.
Melissa was amazing! It was our first time leaving our dogs alone and she made every step of the way a comfortable and enjoyable experience. She gave updates throughout the day and my dogs loved her. Will definitely be rebooking next time we need a dog sitter!
Jorie was an easy choice as a sitter for Carlos and Walt. She came over twice before our vacation to meet the cats and become familiar with their routines. Walt requires medication twice a day and Jorie gave us updates when he received his doses. She was great with staying in communication and sent lots of videos and photos. Cats were settled and stayed in their routines after we arrived home. Superstar cat sitter!
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.
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Winchester on Rover is $38.85 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 1,697 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.
