She updated us a lot throughout the stay with written updates along with tons of pictures so we were never worried and loved knowing our dogs were in good hands and having a great. It was especially nice with our elderly dog who were anxious to leave and needs special care.”

“Kayly was wonderful! She took the time to do a meet and greet beforehand so she could meet my dog, see where she would be staying, and go over his routine and everything he would need during the stay. I really appreciated having that time with her ahead of time. On the day of the stay, Kayly arrived early, which gave me a chance to see her interact with my dog before I left. He can be pretty picky about people, so seeing how comfortable he was with her gave me so much peace of mind. Throughout the stay, she kept me updated and followed all of the instructions I left for him, which I really appreciated. She also let me know when he wasn’t eating and went above and beyond to make sure he eventually ate something. That meant a lot to me because it showed that she was genuinely paying attention to him and his needs. I came home to a clean home and, most importantly, a happy dog. I’m incredibly thankful for Kayly and the care she gave him. It was clear that she made him a priority while I was away, and that was exactly what I needed.”

“Maddie was great! She stayed at our house with our 14 year old, blind fur baby, Liz. She kept us well informed throughout the weekend. It was so nice to have a trustworthy sitter and return to a happy, relaxed dog. Liz was in excellent hands, and we could tell she felt completely comfortable and safe with Maddie. We wouldn't hesitate to book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a compassionate and reliable sitter!”

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something that comes naturally to me. I’m a lifelong animal lover with 37 years of experience owning cats, and my family currently has three cats of our own. I love dogs, cats, snakes, and all kinds of reptiles! I’m patient, dependable, attentive, and compassionate. I understand that every animal has its own unique personality, needs, and quirks. I enjoy getting to know each pet and helping them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether your pet enjoys walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having someone nearby, I’m happy to give them the attention they need. I know how important it is to trust someone with your beloved pets. I’ll treat your animals with the same care and affection I give my own, follow their usual routines, and respect their individual needs. My goal is to give pet parents peace of mind and make sure their pets feel happy, comfortable, and cared for while their favorite people are away. Every animal deserves kindness, patience, and love! As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to plan my day around the needs of the pets in my care. I can coordinate visits, drop-ins, and dog walks with pet parents to help maintain their pets’ regular routines. I understand how important consistency is for animals, whether that means morning visits, afternoon walks, mealtimes, or evening check-ins. I do my best to be dependable, communicate clearly, and give each pet my full attention during our time together. My flexible routine allows me to make caring for your pets a priority while helping them feel comfortable, safe, and loved when you can’t be there. Safety, trust, and your pet’s comfort are always my priorities. I understand that inviting someone into your home to care for your beloved animals requires trust, and I take that responsibility seriously. When caring for pets in your home, I follow your instructions closely, maintain your pet’s usual routine, and make sure food, water, litter boxes, and living areas are kept clean and comfortable. I’m careful about doors, gates, leashes, and anything that could pose a safety risk. I also respect your home and your privacy. During walks and visits, I pay close attention to your pet’s behavior and surroundings to help keep them safe. I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you can enjoy peace of mind while you’re away. As a lifelong animal lover with decades of experience caring for cats and a love for dogs and reptiles, I understand that every animal has different needs. I approach each pet with patience, kindness, and respect, and I always strive to make them feel secure and cared for. Your pets are family, and I’ll treat them with the same love and attention I would want for my own.

“Suzanna is the best! She took such great care of our sweet pup who has bone cancer. Her care required medications twice per day and lots of patience and love. She gives frequent updates and photos and gives you such peace of mind knowing that your dog is being cared for by someone who truly loves animals. She stayed in our home and left in cleaner than when we left! We are so grateful to have found Suzanna on Rover!”

“Corina stayed with my senior dog and cat while I was at a work meeting. My request was a little last minute but she was great to schedule and meet/greet quickly. She took great care of my fur babies and was patient with the senior needs of the dog, who is 17 years old. She has past experience with senior dogs so that was a plus. She responded quickly when I checked on them and sent photos. The house was clean and in order when I got home and the animals were not stressed. I would book Corina again.”

She was incredibly attentive, kept us updated with plenty of photos, and truly went above and beyond. Not only did she take them on walks, but she also gave them so much love and attention—it was clear she genuinely cared. We felt completely at ease knowing our dogs were in such great hands.”

About: Hello, I'm a dog lover, of all breeds, big and small and everything in between. I truly believe that your precious canine/feline will be truly at home with me. Animals off all sizes and breeds are special to me and also to God. I know I have a couple less than desirable reviews, but they were total misunderstandings. Unfortunately they stay on my page which makes me so sad because it gives me great joy to be there and stand in the gap for these precious animals. I also watch caged pets. I am very flexible, available at a moments notice. I love all animals and do everything in my power to accommodate. I'm not perfect but I love all animals perfectly. Another chance appreciated!!

About: Animals have always been at the center of my life. I grew up on a farm, caring for dogs, cats, goats, sheep, and chickens, so reading animal behavior, staying calm under pressure and knowing when somethings off comes naturally to me. Over the years, I’ve trained my own dogs, worked with rescue animals, and volunteered with KARE, where I help rehabilitate, both wild and domestic animals. That experience has taught me how to handle pets of all temperament and backgrounds, including those who were shy, anxious, or still learning the ropes. I personally cared for dogs, cats, ferrets, chinchillas, sugar, gliders, hedgehogs, snakes, fish, turtles, parrots, and a wide variety of reptiles, so chances are, I’ve worked with a pet like yours before! I bring patience and consistency to every interaction, whether it’s a quick drop in or a longer house sit. What sets me apart is that I don’t just love animals, I understand them. Your pet isn’t just a booking to me, they’re a living creature who deserves calm, attentive care from someone who genuinely knows what they’re doing. i’m generally available weekday mornings, weekday evenings, and weekends. My schedule varies week to week, so I keep my calendar updated in real time. If you don’t see any availability that works, feel free to reach out as my schedule sometimes opens up with short notice! when I’m in your home, my priority is keeping your pet safe and as close to their normal routine as possible. I follow your KARE instructions closely, do a quick safety check on arrival, and reach out immediately if anything seems off. You’ll get photo updates every visit so you can see your pet is happy and well cared for.

About: I have always had a deep love for all animals but especially for dogs. There’s never been a time in my life when I haven’t owned and cared for a dog. From my experience having dogs I’ve learned how to read them from signs of distress, anxiety, aggression to signs of happiness and playfulness and due to my knowledge I am able to address there needs properly. As a dog owner I understand how precious our furry friends are and that it is an absolute privilege to be trusted with their care. I will treat your dog with the utmost care and respect as I know they are not just animals but family. I am a student so my availability is limited on weekdays, I am always available 6am-10am Mondays and Wednesdays and 6am-2pm Tuesday and Thursdays. I am also available any time Friday-Sunday! :) In your home I will ensure that your dog has everything it needs while also being professional and respect your household. I love long walks in nature and having a pup by my side always make walks 10x better!

FAQs for House Sitting - Windenoak

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Windenoak is $67 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $58 and $75 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 2,357 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Windenoak. 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 Windenoak 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 Windenoak 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 Windenoak 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 Windenoak. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.
