“Tori is the absolute best! We have no worries at all when she is taking care of the dogs. She takes them out regularly, plays with them, and treats them like her own. We love her!”
“Sara was an amazing dog sitter to my 2 Labradors. She followed all food and medication instructions, took them on walks when it was cool, and sent me pictures! I loved getting pictures of my girls. She stayed overnight at my house, and she also collected my mail, put the trash containers at the end of the driveway on trash day, and brought any packages into the house. None of these were part of her dog sitting duties. I was very grateful to Sara for all of her help. I will definitely use her again in the future, and I highly recommend her as a responsible dog sitter.”

About: I'm a master's degree student and work fulltime but love to help pets on my freetime! While I don't have special skills, i can help with basics and have cared for little to extra large dogs! I've cared for pets my entire life and my family owns a farm so I spend a lot of time caring for animals! I will not be able to provide constant care on weekdays due to my job! I hope to help you and your pets soon! I work full time 8:30-5:00 with children! I'm in school for a master's program but it is virtual so as long as you offer WIFI, it will not be a barrier! My weekends are open but due to my fulltime job, I cannot provide constant care on weekdays! I can help with any pet related needs in home within my experience! This would include cleaning litter boxes, refilling food and water, brushing, letting pets out, and other daily maintenance! I also love to snuggle and play with them!
“Chantell is probably the best Rover experience I’ve had. I’ve never had a more responsive, caring, or attentive individual watch my fur baby before and I am so appreciative of her. She went above and beyond during the house visit and I will absolutely be using her again in the future!”
“Angelica was amazing with Missy, as always! She stayed at my house for almost a week and left it clean (she even took out my trash bins without me asking!). She also gave daily updates on Missy.”
“Ryan was awesome! He was willing to come out same day for me to watch my dog for an unexpected change of plans, on a holiday weekend too! He took care of my doggo and was respectful and responsive to messages the whole time. I will definitely be rebooking Ryan again in the future.”
About: I have owned 3 dogs over the past 20 years. I have watched, walked, and cared for the dogs, cats, birds, turtles, and reptiles. I have trained my own pets and I’m very comfortable meeting new animals. I’m a part-time remotely working licensed realtor so I’ve been fingerprinted and FBI background checked for your safety and peace of mind. I’m currently working part-time from home, mostly on my computer so I have plenty of time to play, walk, and care for your pets. I will carefully adhere to your pets’ schedule, routine, and instructions to make sure your pet has a safe and happy experience in my care.
“We loved Ryan so much the first time, we used him again. He takes the dogs on 2 daily walks, gives medications and medicated baths to our older dog, and spends time with them. Highly recommend.”
“Averie was amazing at taking care of our pups and home. The dogs immediately loved her and her energy and she was very responsible and trustworthy right off the bat. Super easy to communicate with and accommodated us for last minute help. We are very grateful for her help and ability to be resourceful when something unexpected came up.”

Alexa was absolutely amazing with my dog, Harley! She stepped in to help me at the last minute when I needed a sitter for my vacation, and I couldn’t be more grateful. From the very beginning, Alexa was incredibly communicative and sent me regular updates and lots of pictures of Harley, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that she genuinely cared about Harley and treated her like one of her own. When I came home, Harley was happy, relaxed, and clearly had been well loved and cared for. Knowing she was in such great hands made it so much easier to enjoy my trip. I would absolutely book with Alexa again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, dependable, and caring pet sitter. Thank you so much, Alexa, for stepping in on such short notice and taking such wonderful care of Harley!
Delaney is amazing! She is so personable and cared for our house and Dog like she was part of our family. She is mature, aware, and I would trust her with our beautiful pup at any time. Cannot wait to book her again and glad to have her part of our circle. Thank you, Delaney.
Kaitlan was absolutely amazing! She sent us photos and checked in every single day, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We had never used a dog sitter before, and she made it such a wonderful first experience. She also left our house absolutely spotless, which we appreciated so much. We truly couldn’t thank her enough for taking such great care of our home and our pups. Highly recommend!
Chantell was amazing. Our two boys love her. She consistently updated us on how things were at home and with Oak and WInnie, as well as took amazing photos and videos on a multi-times a day basis. We always looked forward to seeing how they were and got lots of pictures of them playing and cuddling and relaxing. Chantell communicated thoroughly about her schedule so we never worried about a thing and our house was left in spotless condition.We know they received the best possible care and I cannot recommend Chantell highly enough.
Ashley was fantastic as a both a home and pet sitter. She takes the cutest little photos, my dogs looked happy and comfortable the entire stay, and she was super response to messages. I have an active dog and a senior dog and she was able to handle all of their needs. I was so relieved when I got home and my dogs seemed to have had a great time and didn't show any signs of anxiety or discomfort. Ashley was such a blessing.
Teresa took wonderful care of our two kitties! They are indoor/outdoor so we needed someone to put in some extra work and she really stepped up! Teresa is super friendly and a great communicator as well. I received daily updates (often more than once a day) that put my mind at ease while we were away. We will definitely use her services again and would highly recommend her to other cat owners.
Elisa did a wonderful job watching our 2 dogs who can take some time to warm up to strangers. She was very kind and patient with them. She kept our house organized and communicated well with us so we felt confident with her care while we were out of town. Will definitely have Elisa again!

FAQs for House Sitting - Windemere
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Windemere 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 4,423 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Windemere. 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 Windemere 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 Windemere 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 Windemere 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.

- 96% 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.
