About: I have had dogs since I was little and love playing with them and taking care of them. I’m an athletic person so if the dog is in the mood to play, I can certainly be a great playmate! I have experience with dog sitting overnight, dog walking, and drop-in visits. I work at a nursing home, but I get to choose the shifts I pick up, so my schedule can be very flexible. I am looking for more pups to help out! I can provide overnight care at the owners home. While I am there, I make sure to take your dog for walks, play outside, and give lots of rubs and cuddles. As a person, I am very low maintenance, so you won’t have to provide hardly anything if come care for your pups overnight.
“Allie was an excellent sitter for my 2 year old German Shepherd Dog Hero! She was attentive to his needs, took him on regular walks multiple times a day, walked him to the Dog park down the road and let him run and play, and sent me regular updates and photos of their time together. Allie is detail oriented and will follow instructions to the letter. Her and Hero played so hard while she dog/house sat with one of his favorite toys that the squeaker broke out of it and she went out of her way to buy him a close replacement for it as well as a bag of treats which she absolutely didnt have to do but Hero and I appreciated very much! I would highly recommend Allie's services to anyone looking for a pet sitter. I was uneasy at first having a stranger stay at my home to watch my dog, but after seeing how comfortable Hero was around her within minutes of meeting her it gave me some peace of mind and Allie is absolutely worthy of trust and your business. Thanks for all you did for Hero and I Allie and I wish you nothing but the best I'll definitely be in contact next time I need someone to help with Hero!”
“Lori was fantastic! We felt good leaving our 3 large dogs with her for a weekend in our home. She kept us updated and informed on their eating, potty, and medication schedule. We also came home to a clean house and the sheets where she slept were already washed. We absolutely recommend Lori!!”
About: I treat every pet like family, not just a client. Early mornings, late nights, weekends— I work around your schedule. You’ll always know how your pet is doing with fun photos! I work part time at an assisted living facility here in Lakewood (20 hours at most) so I’ve got lots of time for play and snuggles Before any booking, I schedule a meet and greet to make sure the fit is right for everybody involved. I stick to routines and give one on ones with each pet in the home!
“Han did a wonderful job! So happy we found them! Our furry family was well taken care of, and so was our home. Looking forward to working with them again in the future!”
“Kyla was awesome and my dogs absolutely loved her! She spoiled the heck out of them - in the best way, and made sure they were well taken care of while I was out of town. Would 100% recommend and use her again.”
“Katherine did such a great job with our 3 dogs. She communicated so well and sent lots of pictures and videos! I am always a little anxious leaving them with someone new but she put my mind at ease!”
“Chloe was phenomenal with our dogs - she watched them for a long weekend when we were out of town. Not only did she tax excellent care of our fur babies, she left the house in pristine condition - she went above and beyond what I requested - what a superstar!!!”
About: I have grown up with my own dog my whole life. Besides my own pup, I have experience watching serval different breeds of dogs (often very energetic). As well as, I have taken good care of a few very cute kitties I work a part time job where I may be away for 4-5 hours max but have a flexible schedule and will make sure to find time to help your pet feel well loved! As well as my evenings are ways free. I have good awareness of surrounding and can take good care of your pup while on plenty of walks and make sure they get the care they need.
About: What sets me apart is my hands-on experience with dogs of all ages and needs. I helped train service dogs, which taught me patience, consistency, and how to read behavior closely. I’ve also raised three puppies, so I’m confident with training, routines, and high-energy dogs. On top of that, I volunteered at the Parma Animal Shelter throughout high school, working with a wide range of temperaments. I’m comfortable with everything from playful puppies to more sensitive or older dogs, and I make sure each pet gets attentive, personalized care I’m currently working part-time, but I’m a college student home for the summer, so I have a very flexible and open schedule. I’m available most days for walks, drop-ins, or extended care, and I can easily adjust my availability to fit your pet’s routine. Whether you need consistent daily visits or last-minute help, I’m able to be reliable and accommodating. I care for pets in the client’s home so they stay in a familiar, low-stress environment. I stick closely to their normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions or medications. I make sure they get plenty of attention and care, keep their space clean, and adjust to their personality and energy level. I also provide updates so owners know their pet is safe and well cared for.
“Cheryl came to my house to watch Duke and Stella. They loved her! She was so kind and loving with them, and was very interested in knowing their favorite toys, games, snacks, etc. I had no hesitation in leaving my precious puppies in her care. I can absolutely give Cheryl a 5 star recommendation to anyone!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Marisa as our cat and house sitter. She took excellent care of our home and left everything clean and well cared for. When Kitty broke a potted plant, she let us know right away and cleaned it up with no fuss at all, which we really appreciated. Our cat was clearly happy, relaxed, and well looked after when we returned, and we loved receiving so many photos and updates while we were away. We felt completely at ease knowing our home and cat were in such capable, thoughtful hands. We wouldn’t hesitate to book her again and highly recommend her to others.”
About: I have three cats of my own that I take care of. My family has always had a dog or cat in the home, so have been taking care of dogs and cats since I was a child. I am currently working full time from home, so I am flexible when it comes to my daily and weekly routine. We can find a schedule that works for us both! I currently have three cats that.. run our household 😅 they are well tended to and have many toys. Under my care, I will be able to keep your pet happy, healthy and safe
“Michelle is such a calm and reassuring presence around dogs. She can read their body language and reacts exactly how the dog needs. I would be thrilled to have her watch my dog again.”
“Our dog loved Zoe! He was so happy to see her that he’d cry and lean on her. This speaks volumes to what a great job she did with him! I’d have her sit with him again and again! So lucky we found her!”
“Cassandra was a great cat and house sitter. She was communicative, sent us great pictures and videos, kept the house clean and tidy, and followed instructions for Kitty’s care. Kitty seemed well taken care of and happy. We will definitely reach out to Cassandra for our future travels. Thank you, Cassandra!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Windfall
Alexandra was amazing with our two dogs. Seriously I don’t trust anyone with my babies unless they’re family but we were in a pinch and found her on rover and she went above and beyond. My puppy also had an accident and she even went as far as giving him a bath because she wanted him comfortable. I cannot recommend her enough. She’s amazing!!
Cheryl is a joy to welcome into our home for both drop-in visits and overnight pet sitting. She is truly passionate about what she does and treats our animals with kindness, love, and respect. Our pets are always happy and well cared for in her hands, and we especially appreciate how much she enjoys taking our dog on walks. We have complete peace of mind knowing our animals are with someone so caring and dependable.
Ashlyn was super!!! I have 3 senior dogs and a cockatoo. The 2 little dogs are 16 and 18, the medium size dog is 11, cockatoo about 23 years old. The little dogs need a really good routine and support, Ashlyn came through with flying colors for them and the other 2. Everyone was happy healthy and clean, including the house upon my return!!! Ashlyn kept me updated and asked questions as needed, i feel she exhibited good judgment and a sincere dedication to the care of my pets. I have already recommended her to my friends with pets who travel, they will not be disappointed.THANK YOU ASHLYN!!! We will rebook!!!

FAQs for House Sitting - Windfall
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Windfall on Rover is $42.18 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 1,314 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Windfall. 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 Windfall 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 Windfall 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 Windfall 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.

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.
