“Jennifer did amazing. I had a family emergency and need to leave town she responded quickly and jumped right in to house/puppy sit. Within the first few hours, I could tell Winnie was in good hands. I had so much going on I didn’t have time to check on her, but I didn’t even worry. I knew she was taking care of. Jennifer went above and beyond she took care of my puppy and was respectful of my place. I highly recommend her and I definitely will be choosing her again.”
“She updated me everyday about my dog Cara about how she was doing and sent me pictures which made me feel very comfortable and secure as I was out of town will definitely be using her again in the future and my dog loved her”
“Kelsie did a great job with our fur babies. She was very attentive and sent specific and detailed information about each of our three dogs. She seemed to have no problem handling our puppy and two adult dogs. She also brought our packages in from the porch.”
“Liz is AMAZING. My sweet rescue pup is a little anxious and jumpy, but Liz was so patient and gentle with her and gave her time to feel comfortable. And things went great! Liz sent photos and updates and left my house better than I left it. I could not be happier.”
“Matthew did a great job! It was his first time watching my kitties and they seemed to take to him pretty quickly. Came back to a clean house and happy cats :)”
About: I’ve taken care of animals including dogs cats rabbits for friends throughout my military career. From kittens and puppies to senior animals. I’ve helped break bad habits such as jumping and potty accidents in the house. I’m currently a stay at home mom so I can take care of your fur baby anytime of the week. I’ll show them the love and care the fur babies babies deserve. I have a big fenced in backyard with dogs that can play or not with yours. I also have two cats that do their own things. I can crate as well if wanted.
“We’ve used Rover now a dozen times and never felt less worried than when Taryn was at our house with our pups! She was extremely professional, personable, and just overall wonderful!! We loved the questions she asked and her attention to detail in looking after our fellas. She was able to administer medication for our one dog, gave us plenty of updates (with fun pics), and even kept our house just as we left it somehow! Taryn is absolutely our go-to sitter now and we couldn’t recommend her more!!”
“Absolutely phenomenal lady!! My dogs are a bit of a handful sometimes (two Dobies) and she rocked it!! Sent me pix and updates throughout her stay and even worked with me since I was getting back late due to my daughter’s birthday. HIGHLY recommend!!!”
“Gessika did a great job taking care of Baxter and Mia. Especially since Mia needs so much encouragemen. She was a trooper when my alarm system went off at 1 AM due to a low battery. It was scary. All of us think Gessika is a a star sitter!”
“Melody was incredible! She stepped to care for our golden retriever and dachshund while we were away for a wedding, and we couldn’t have asked for better. She was kind, attentive, and kept us updated throughout the day with potty and feeding check ins plus tons of pictures throughout the day. We felt at ease knowing our pups were in good hands. Highly recommend her to anyone!”
About: I have been an ongoing volunteer at the Animal Defense League of San Antonio since I was about 9 y/o, taking the dogs on walks and socializing the cats and kittens. I have thorough knowledge and experience with raising and fostering kittens, as well as dogs just under 1y/o. I've owned and fostered cats and dogs at varying life stages, throughout my entire life as well. I am well experienced and knowledgeable in animal care and the handling of a myriad of pets and wildlife. While currently also shadowing a very experienced and accredited dog trainer, I am definitely confident in my ability to provide extra care and love for your sweet, fur-babies. Currently, I am in-between jobs, so I as long as I have about a day's heads-up, I'm usually free pretty much any day to care for you furry friend. I perfer to start my work day around afternoon to late afternoon, though morning time isn't a deal-breaker. I want your pet to experience the least amount of stress possible (especially during the first couple visits), so I try to stick to their daily routine as much as I can. For walks, I am quite comfortable walking bigger dogs that may come across as a lot to handle, despite being of a smaller stature. I have experience with training arduous or physically demanding dogs to walk beautifully on the leash also. As for drop-in visits and sitting, I will always stick to the schedule you provide and the safety and well-being of your pet will always be my top priority.
About: I have always taken care of friends’ pets (mostly dogs) since college. At most, there have been 3 dogs in my care but have the capacity to have more of needed. Cats are welcomed. I’m a gentle soul when it comes to animals. They have feelings just like humans do and want cared. Walking bigger dogs is speciality but I have experience with all size dogs. I am a full time personal trainer & CrossFit coach, so I more flexibility for pet care. I can spend time with them and walk them throughout the dad I care for clients with upmost respect. Chatting with clients on behaviors of the pets is important to me. Helps understand how each pet should be cared for. I want make sure they are comfortable at all times and continue to get the same love that their owners give them. I cannot have pets in my own due my partner allergies. With that being said, clients’ home are sacred and I respect that, so I would not break trust with owners and make their home is the way they left it.
“I am new to the area and was super nervous about finding a new dog sitter. My pups instantly LOVED Z’ie. She was so kind and friendly and always sent me updates with pictures and videos. I was so at ease while I was gone and was able to enjoy my vacation worry free. I highly recommend her!”
“My fur baby was in the best hands while I was out of town. He loved Laura! And she loved him! She gave me many updates with photos that put me at ease while I was away. Would love to have her sit when I need her again!”
“William is awesome. He took great care of Brooklyn, was super responsive and communicative, and respectful of the house. Very professional. Also took amazing pics of Brooklyn and should consider a second career as a pet photographer”

Morgan is such a gem! It's usually hard as a dog (and home) owner to trust someone new to look after them when you need to leave town for travels but Morgan put my mind fully at ease when she came over for a meet and greet with my pup. We chatted for a while when she was over and she's very personable, caring, knowledgeable, and very well prepared to look after your animals and space. Thanks again Morgan for all of the updates and taking care of the place too when you were here! I would love to have you back next time I'm in need of a sitter. In fact, I'm already planning another trip now that we're super comfortable Waffle has a good person to look after her and she'd be in good hands. Will keep in touch, hope to see you again soon. Thanks for everything!!
Love love love! Jasmine was an angel! She came to sit for us while we were already out of town. We unfortunately did not get to meet her, but our dogs loved her right away. She was sweet to them, sent lots of pics, and went above and beyond the call to make sure our poochies were taken care of. Do not hesitate to hire her.
This was the first time that I book with Rover and Megan set the bar high! She was incredible with my senior dog, Gailey. She managed her daily walks and her medications faithfully. Her communication and pictures throughout the week were so appreciated. Megan, thank you so much for all the good care and love you gave my Gailey. It gave me peace of mind, knowing she was well cared for. I came home to a happy dog and a super clean house! I would highly recommend Megan to anyone looking for a sitter.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We couldn’t be happier with the care Mora and Raylan received! From the moment we met, it was clear Dawn truly loves and understands dogs. Mora and Raylan were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for when we returned, which says everything. We received great updates and photos, and it gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such capable, loving hands. Reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring — we would absolutely trust them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for an amazing dog sitter!
Valentina was amazing with our five dogs. She kept in touch the whole time and sent updates that actually made me feel relaxed. When I got home the dogs barely cared that I walked in, which tells you everything. They were happy, calm, and clearly loved. I’d book her again without hesitation.
Juilanna did great with all of our pups and they loved her! Communication was great throughout the whole visit and she included plenty of pictures to keep us updated. She did an excellent job of making sure all of our pups needs were met especially for our biggest boy who was recently sick with pneumonia! She followed the rules given and kept the house clean, no issues. She was great! We will definitely be reaching out for future visits!

FAQs for House Sitting - Windcrest
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Windcrest on Rover is $44.4 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 1,773 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Windcrest. 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 Windcrest 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 Windcrest 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 Windcrest 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.
