House Sitting in Winder

“Emalee is amazing. Our trip was extended 3 days due to the ice storm and cancelled flights. She worked with us to get our pups cared for. She was a lifesaver! The pups love her.”

About: With over 13 years of experience, I provide a safe, adaptive, and nurturing environment for pets of all ages and energy levels. For senior, shy, and low-energy pets, I offer gentle, slower-paced routines. For puppies and high-energy pets, I provide the engagement and play they need to stay happy. I understand that every pet is unique, and I take pride in adapting to their specific needs. Whether they need long nature walks, cuddles, or simply some alone time, they will receive exactly that. To ensure your complete peace of mind while away, I will also provide frequent photo and video updates! As a university student with in-person classes only twice a week, I have a highly flexible schedule. I'm available almost any day of the week for boarding and dog/cat sitting. While my weekly schedule changes based on my studies and schoolwork, any pet care can be placed between them all. If there is a day or time you need me to be available that is not on my availability, I am always happy to negotiate! In my home, I adapt the pets' schedule to the way my home is. I have plenty of roaming space inside, but also outside for pets (leashed) that enjoy being outside and exploring. If your dog is crate-trained and needs to be in theirs, I can easily crate them. I also have 4 friendly cats that can keep your pet company, but if your pet does not like other animals, I also have the layout to keep them safely separated. In my client's home, I simply follow the schedule and rules they have for their pets. If you still feel unsure or your pet needs specific accommodation, please don't hesitate to reach out to me. I would like your pet to experience only the highest quality stay/care!

“Preston was great! He communicated with us through the whole stay, sent pictures, and took great care of our 4 dogs! We will definitely be using him again.”

“Jody takes great care of my 3 babies! Absolutely fantastic pet sitter—dependable, caring, and communicative. Our pets were well cared for and they clearly enjoyed their time with Jody! Will definitely book again!”

“I had a great experience with this pet sitter. She cared for my dog and cat for 10 days and was very accommodating throughout. I came home to dishes neatly placed in the dishwasher and towels left in the washer, which I really appreciated. She even offered to remove and wash the used bedsheets. Everything was handled thoughtfully and with care—no complaints at all. I would definitely recommend her services.”

“Sarah did a wonderful job with my baby.. she kept me informed with pictures and updates daily and when I returned Patch was a happy camper! Sarah's Love for animals is evident she left my house very clean and I would highly recommend her”

“Michelle was amazing! Let me start by saying, this is my first experience with Rover and with hiring a dog sitter in general so I was extremely nervous! Our dog sitter ended up getting sick while we were on our trip and I needed someone in a hurry. I was looking through the Rover app after midnight trying to find someone local, and I came across Michelle and someone else's profile. Michelle didn't have any reviews at all, so that made me a bit weary but after looking at her profile I thought she seemed sweet and I needed someone ASAP, so I decided to contact her. She responded in less than 15min saying she was available for that night. Great! Then in the morning around 9am the person who was supposed to come at lunchtime to feed my doggies and take them out had a family emergency they had to tend to so they would not be available, so I reached out to Michelle hoping she would be available for a drop in (mind you it was only a few hours notice) and she was quick to respond and tell me it was no problem. I was very grateful, though still nervous because I wasn't sure how my doggies would react to her, especially being my oldest is usually very grumpy and barks at EVERYONE and takes a while to warm up to anyone. I looked on the camera when she arrived and was so surprised to see that my oldest dog was not barking and he warmed up to Michelle immediately! That alone was enough to let me know I made the right choice!! She was extremely sweet with my pups, she was in contact with me throughout every visit, and very thorough in asking questions and making sure she followed every instruction I gave her. She sent me pictures and videos and I could tell my dogs absolutely love her!! I'm so so grateful to have found Michelle, it is obvious she truly loves and cares for your fur babies! I will definitely use her any time we travel or need a quick drop in visit for our doggies. If you're looking for someone you can trust, who your fur babies will love and feel safe with, reach out to Michelle!!! 🫶”

“Daniel is a rock star dog and house sitter! He took great care of our two dogs over the Christmas holiday and sent us updates with photos twice a day. When we returned, the house looked just like we left it and our dogs were happy and looked well cared for. We definitely plan to contact him for any future dog sitting needs.”

Julie K.

“Great communication and I could tell from what they were saying about Roger that he was well taken care of and they were truly spending time with him. Will definitely book them again!”

Anastasia B.

“Charlotte was wonderful with our pets! Our normally skittish small dog took to her right away. The cats and the big dog love her too. We will booking with her again in the future. She was great with communicating, quick to text back or call if there was an issue. The house was very tidy when she left. Everyday, she would walk the dogs on their usual schedule. At the end of the day she would send an updated with a daily summary of activities and pictures. We were very happy knowing our pets were in her loving care while we were away.”

Shelly T.

“Maria is the best! She house sat Christian while I was away on a trip for a week. She attended to him & his special needs while providing updates. Videos, and photos. Not only was Christian well taken care of but upon returning my home was nice & clean how I left it! Highly Highly Recommend”

“Jenn was wonderful with my babies! She is very reliable and dependable. She treated my pups as they were her own and I love love loved the daily checkins and pics. I will definitely call Jenn again!”

“There aren't enough wonderful things to say about Edith and my experience with her when she recently took care of my two dogs and my house for five days. From the minute I reached out to her she responded almost immediately and made me feel that she was open to help in any way. She was punctual for our 'meet and greets', and my dogs loved her the minute she came through the door. While I was out of town I was totally comfortable knowing that my dogs and everything they needed was taken care of. Edith is extremely knowledgeable about animals. Since one of my dogs is a senior, she needs extra care with meds and slower walks. Edith handled her with so much tenderness and understanding. I knew that my home and dogs were in the best hands with Edith. I cannot recommend her enough! She is exceptional. Thank you, Edith!”

Andrea P.

“Bri did a great job following all instructions for our old man Bo. He was happy and healthy and well cared for. She gave updates and sent photos each day. Our home was well taken care of as well with no messes left behind. She was very sweet to get to know us at the meet and greet. Very sweet person and will definitely contact her again to watch Bo!!!! Thank you so much Bri!!!”

“Molly was amazing with my dog Maple. She took her for walks around the neighborhood and stayed overnight at our house. I would recommend Molly to anyone!”

About: I’m a longtime cat owner and have hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs. I’ve cared for my own cats (Willow and Forest) and also helped care for a family’s dog while babysitting — feeding, walks/potty breaks, playtime, and keeping routines consistent. I’m detail-oriented, respectful of your home, and I communicate clearly with updates so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing. Hello! I’m currently attending university and majoring in mass communication and marketing with a minor in psychology. I work part-time as a receptionist. My current schedule is that I’m free weekdays, with classes Mon/Wed 12:30–1:45 and Thurs 2:00–6:15, and you usually work Fri/Sat/Sun daytime, so weekend evenings are your best bet :) My care style is routine-based and body-language focused. I don’t force interaction; I let pets settle in and I build trust first, especially with cats. I provide attention and affection when they want it, and I watch closely for cues (hunger, stress, overstimulation, fatigue). I follow all instructions precisely such as feeding, fresh water, litter maintenance, walks/potty breaks, play/enrichment, and any special notes. I keep things calm, clean, and consistent, and I send updates/photos so you’re never guessing.

“Rebecca was hands-down the best dog sitter we’ve ever had. From our very first communication through the end of our week away, she was professional, reliable, and incredibly attentive. She gave us complete peace of mind knowing our three babies were genuinely well cared for. We’ll absolutely be rebooking her for our next trip.”
