“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.

I highly recommend trusting Hannah to care for your beloved pet!”

She not only loved on them and cared for them but she went above and beyond to make sure our house was taken care of as well. She took out our trash and cleaned up after our pets. Chanel is reliable and easy to communicate with, we appreciate her!”
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!
“We had Kris stay at our home last weekend and watch our pup Dilly. We were extremely impressed with her care for Dilly and thankful that she could be with her overnight. She kept in touch with me over the weekend and had a good stay. We will absolutely be happy to have Kris in our home again and trust her immensely with Dilly. It's great to be able to leave town and have zero worries about our fur baby. Thanks Kris!”
About: Cleaning, feeding, and petting, are my specialities when it comes to dogs. I haven't really trained dogs, besides the basics, but I love spending time with them. I'm currently unemployed (looking for a source of steady income), so I'm available to watch your furry members of the family any time starting in December. Most anything that you need for your pet, I can do. I love learning what my clients expect from me and will do the best of my ability.
“Sierra did amazing with her sitting of my two girls. She was communicative and respectful of my home. She sent photos of my girls throughout the sitting, and updated me with any needed information. I will definitely be booking with her in the future.”

“Ellisa was an AWESOME sitter, she came to the house to meet all the animals, asked questions and kept me updated over the 3 days. Even though she didn’t have to, she still kept an eye on the cats and their food, and didn’t mind having all the animals in her room while she was working at the desk…and peaches right in her way too! All the animals were obviously very taken with Ellisa, especially my big boy and we came back to a clean house and happy animals!❤️❤️”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Winchester
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.

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.
