“Leandra took such good care of our two cats! I was so happy to see pictures and videos of our cats getting all the cuddles they wanted over the three weeks she was with them. We were able to enjoy our holiday knowing the cats were getting excellent and thoughtful care. ❤️”
“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!”
“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.”
“Olivia was so amazing! Seniors last minute to help me out with my dogs. She asked for a meet and greet first which was lovely. She took her time to get to know my dogs and spend good quality time with them; they really enjoyed their time with her!”
“AnnaMaria is an excellent and exceptional dog caregiver. Not only is she caring but she understands dog behavior and knows how to respond to each dogs personality. Send me photos and a video each day. The senior Bull Terrier had to be taken to our vet for a checkup due to surgery a week before and AnnaMaria took care of this for us. Gave our senior dog her meds and played fetch with our 18 month old Bull Terrier. AnnaMaria is the best and I highly recommend her as a caregiver for any dog.”
“Ruth did an excellent job caring for our fur babies. We had a dog that recently had surgery and we were concerned about leaving him alone. Ruth was able to also administer his medication. Our babies really enjoyed having her. You could tell how caring and attentive she was to them the moment she walked in the door.”
“We are so grateful for Jill! She stepped in last minute to care for our two dogs and cat over the holidays, and she did an absolutely wonderful job. From the moment we met her, we could tell she was kind, professional, and truly passionate about animals. Our pets were well cared for, happy, and relaxed when we returned. 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!”
“Miguel was great! My dogs got lots of love and attention, plenty of walks and were well taken care of. It’s so nice not worrying about my dogs while on vacation, knowing they are in good hands. I will definitely book with Miguel in the future!”
“Michael did an excellent job caring for our dogs while we were away for the weekend. She is very professional and we will definitely be calling her again nest time we need to leave our dogs at home. I highly recommend her services!”
“We had to book Pamela as an emergency because the sitter we had booked wasn’t going in to see our dogs. My dogs hadn’t used the restroom in over 19 hours. As soon as we found out I contacted Pamela and she responded almost immediately and less than 10 minutes later she was at my house taking care of my dogs. She sent me pictures of them every day and kept me updated with everything. I am so grateful to her for helping me out in such short notice and she will be my dog sitter from now on ❤️”
About: I love all animals I have experience walking, bathing and playing with all kinds of fur babies. I am a high energy person and enjoy playful pups and taking walks. I am currently available every day of the week and I am flexible with last min booking and cancellations. I am also able to stay at clients places if needed. I will be caring for pets at my clients homes however they indicate me to do so. I am able to assist with training and will take extra precaution with any special needs. I will ensure your baby’s needs are met! I done believe in the just feed and water to their bowl I want to make sure they get to play and not feel so lonely. I will prioritize gaining your and your pets trust.
“Patty is wonderful dog sitter. She takes incredible care of my 15 year old bichon that requires extra effort. He's on meds and needs a little more attention. Patty gives him that. She also is wonderful with my 3 year old mini poodle. I highly recommend Patty!”
“Eric was a great dog sitter! He was prompt with his communication… He sent pictures and updated us regularly on our dogs. We have three large breed dogs, with one of them being a puppy… And he was great with them!! we came home to an orderly home… and happy pups!”
“We’ve been working with Amber for years at this point and I’m so beyond grateful for her! My home and animals are always well taken care of (even though I basically have a zoo and a fussy cat that needs meds 3x daily so it’s no easy feat!) and we are consistently impressed. Thanks so much, Amber!!!”
“Jennifer went above and beyond our expectations. This is the first time we've used someone we didn't know to watch our dog. Nervous about being gone for a week. Jennifer sent pictures, went on walks, played with our dog and much more. Jennifer was texting us each day with updates. Would highly recommend Jennifer and Rover service if you need someone to watch your dog.”
“Alex was great! The dogs were certainly well taken care of and he was great at providing updates throughout. The house was clean when we came back as well and all asks completely followed. Thanks!”
“Samuel was fantastic!! We have never left our girls with anyone but family before, so Samuel came for a meet and greet before we booked and he put us at ease. Both dogs really liked him from the start. He stayed at our house for 3 nights and sent multiple pictures and updates every day! It really helped us to enjoy our vacation knowing the girls were in good hands!! Thanks Sam!! A+++++”

I cannot recommend Gessika highly enough! I had a last-minute emergency while my husband was in brain surgery and couldn't make it home to care for our golden retriever, Sailor. Gessika jumped in without missing a beat. She kept us updated with frequent photos and texts, giving us complete peace of mind during a critical moment. She is reliable, compassionate, and truly amazing. Thank you, Gessika!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Windcrest is $44 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $25 and $78 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 1,759 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Windcrest. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
