“Reed did a great job taking care of our older German Shepherds and house sitting for us. He took the dogs on walks and played fetch with them. I loved the pics he sent. Will definitely use him again!”
“Jennifer sent me pictures of my dogs while we were gone and told me how they were doing which I really appreciated. Her communication was very professional and timely. She kept my home very clean while we were gone. I would recommend Jennifer to watch your dogs.”
“Addie was exceptional in every way. She asked questions, followed my instructions and constantly kept me updated on Bella. I would highly recommend her and will definitely use her again!”
“Rose was AMAZING with our pets! Like many people, our pets are like our babies and I have so much anxiety about leaving them. Rose sent tons of updates and pictures and made the process so easy and un-stressful. She left our home so tidy and took great care of everything. We will absolutely book Rose again to take care of our babies!”
About: I have grown up around pets my whole life. I was always the go to for my friends and family when it came to them needing a dog sitter. I would like to share my experience with you and your pets! I am not a beginner dog sitter as I have worked for Rover in the past. Please feel free to read my reviews! Rover is my only source of income, so I am always available! All I ask is that you give me a 2 hour heads up please. I live in Broken Arrow and so I can care for anyone's pet within Tulsa county. I have a reliable vehicle and I do not mind doing light cleaning while I'm watching after a clients pet.
“We have booked house sitting with Rosalie twice and she is a great sitter to work with. We get regular updates and our dog and cat are happy when we get back. I would def recommend Rosalie for Rover bookings”
“Stacy took exceptional care of my dog and cat for 4 days while I was on vacation. She went above and beyond by taking my dog on extra walks, hikes, and spent a lot of time with her. I’m very happy with her care and would recommend Stacy to anyone that wants a very happy puppy to come home to!”
“Amy is the best! So caring and loving to our dogs. Takes care of all of the animals needs and goes out of her way to make them happy/comfortable. The best updates and pictures. Highly recommend booking!”
About: I am disabled so this is my primary source of income and your fur babies will have my full attention! Ive taken care of many cats and dogs since I was 9 years old and since ive grown up ive petsit for friends and family. I dont have any professional experience yet but id love to get some! I will treat your baby like I would treat my own :) Im home all the time helping watch my younger sisters, so Im available almost always! I love taking care of animals but dont have any of my own so there are no other animals in the house. I have a fenced in yard that they could run around in with supervision, because I couldnt handle losing someone elses pet :( I can take them outside as often as I need and I can take them on walks Every 3-4 hours.
“Dubai was amazing! She came to meet our pups and get a feel for the place a few days before, and asked all the right questions. I felt very comfortable leaving our 3 pups and 8 ducks in her hands. She communicated regularly and sent pictures, which I loved. She was very easy to work with, loved our animals, and left our home in amazing shape. We can’t wait to use Dubai again!”
“Austin took great care of our high maintenance seniors. He hardly left them alone and took them on way more walks than we asked. He was super communicative and sent plenty of pics. He was also very respectful of our house.”
About: My name is Morgan and I’ve been pet sitting for many years now. I love spending time with dogs and cats. I’m very active and enjoy going for walks with your pet! My schedule is flexible and I can adjust to accommodate what works best for you. I work remotely which means I have flexibility in the morning, afternoon, and evening. While I’m flexible, I also love sticking to a schedule. I’m open to whatever makes your pet the happiest and most comfortable. Your home will be well taken care of as I am a tidy person. My main goal is to keep your pets safe, loved, and healthy!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 415 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Winchester. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
