“I booked Angela last minute. She was quick to respond and scheduled a visit with my babies. She was attentive and wrote down their individual needs. She was asked to house sit and she provided multiple picture updates and messages throughout the day. She truly was a gem and they were well taken care of. I will be booking with her again! Thanks Angela!”
About: Going on vacation, need a getaway, or just take a break? Trustworthy and reliable house and pet sitter can help. Need a companion to supervise your kids, pets, and elderly family? Caring for your loved ones at home, while they do their normal routine and activities, to be cozy and comfortable. I love being around people, kids, and pets doing activities, conversing, or just quietly keeping them company, if preferred. My experience includes property management, substituting in public schools, volunteer at animal shelters and rescues, helped with community cats, and also watch my own critters along with friends and family. I do have a part-time property management career during the day but can schedule you early mornings and late afternoon evenings, as well as weekends, and holidays. Visits and tasks are personalized with your instructions, to meet your needs. Let me know if I can assist you with anything and get some spare time on your hands to do more!

“Niki did an incredible job house-sitting for our shih tzu puppy, Douglas! From the moment we left, we felt completely at ease knowing he was in such caring and capable hands. Niki kept us updated with adorable pictures and messages, and it was clear that Douglas was having a great time. She followed all of our care instructions perfectly and even went the extra mile to ensure Douglas felt loved and entertained. We came home to a happy, healthy puppy and a spotless house. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience – thank you so much, Niki! Highly recommend her to anyone in need of a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter.”
“Kelsie was super friendly, and is a great communicator! She sent me consistent updates and pictures of Stormy and I was confident that Stormy was in great hands! I will definitely be reaching back out to Kelsie next time I travel out of town.”

Jill kept us updated with photos and messages, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. We highly recommend her and will definitely reach out next time we need a sitter!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Windcrest
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.
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 July 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 July 2026, there are 1,764 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Windcrest. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
