“OMG we went on vacation for three weeks and left our cat and our home in the care of Lilian, who was a rockstar. She took care of everything, followed all of our instructions and when we came home this time our cat was completely at ease. Usually when we return home from vacation, whether it's a week or longer and we have somebody stop in, we hear it from the cat for a good two weeks waking us up early in the morning rauling, but this time Bella just showed love and has been 100% normal. We would hire her again in our heartbeat. Best decision we ever made!”
“I had a last-minute adjustment to my vacation schedule and needed a sitter and found Shayna. She was super flexible and accommodating, and came to meet my dogs and learn their routine the same day! Shayna provided excellent care for my dogs who are anxious and can sometimes be difficult to care for. I would absolutely use her again for overnight services or walking anytime that we are traveling and she is available! Thank you for taking such good care of my girls💙🐶”
“Mikayla stayed with our active Jack Russell for 2 weeks while we were away. I never worried about our pup, knowing that she was being taken care of and played with. Mikayla shared updates and pictures, and answered promptly when I checked in with her. I recommend her without hesitation, we have never been so at ease while away.”
“Theo took care of my four dogs, guinea pig, and chickens in my home for four days. My senior dog has health issues and he tended to him with care. All my pets were well taken care of, given plenty of attention, and happy when we returned. Theo informed me when he needed to leave for a short time and made sure the dogs were all secure in the home in their places of comfort. Theo kept me updated several times during the day and provided photos. He cleaned up after himself and my home was left as he found it. We look forward to having Theo care for our pets in the near future.”
“We highly recommend Jenna. She was the perfect sitter for our dog and cat. Phenomenal communication and what’s more, we came home to an immaculate home! We couldn’t have asked for more.”
“We love Juliet! She was respectful of our home, paid attention to instructions, she clearly loves our dog(s) and was communicative. We felt very comfortable with her and we are so grateful to have found her!”
“Jennifer was fabulous while home sitting and watching our dog for 12 days while we were Florida! She provided daily multiple updates along with pictures of our precious dog. She watered our flowers, gathered all our mail and deliveries, and left everything organized. We never worried once while we were gone, and would highly recommend Jennifer to anyone!”
“I felt very at ease leaving my dog with Christopher. He sent all kinds of great updates, snuggling, and playing. My dog is high energy and reactive, and they got along great. My dog also had a Minor injury and Chris went above and beyond to stay with him and keep an eye on things making sure he couldn’t make it worse.”
About: Hi! My name is Bella, and I’m a dedicated animal lover with experience caring for both dogs and cats for family members, friends, and neighbors. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I always strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I work during the day, typically for about eight hours, but outside of work I am available to provide plenty of attention, companionship, walks, playtime, feeding, medication administration (if needed), and lots of affection. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, belly rubs, play sessions, or simply having someone nearby to keep them company, I’m happy to accommodate their routine. I know how important it is to trust someone with a beloved pet, and I treat every animal in my care as if they were my own. My goal is to provide reliable, attentive care that gives both pets and their owners peace of mind. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I work during the day, typically from about 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, but outside of those hours I have plenty of time to dedicate to your pets. Before and after work, I can provide walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, medication administration if needed, and lots of love and attention. On weekends and days off, I have even more flexibility to spend quality time with your pets and ensure they stay happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m also more than happy to help with small household tasks such as watering plants, bringing in mail or packages, and keeping an eye on your home so you can enjoy peace of mind while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, preferences, and any special care instructions so they can feel as relaxed as possible while you’re away. Whether caring for pets in your home or during visits, I provide attentive supervision, plenty of affection, regular exercise, and consistent care. I understand how much pets mean to their families, and I treat every dog and cat as if they were my own—with patience, kindness, and lots of love.
“I highly recommend April! We booked with her for 3 nights of house sitting in our home and our pup had a blast!! April sent regular photos, videos and updates, and our girl got lots of walks, playtime and snuggles. We were so glad to have her and can’t wait to work with her again the next time we go away!”
“Allison was truly a blessing and if I ever need this service again, I will absolutely contact her! This was my first time ever leaving for multiple days and our planned sitter (a friend of ours) fell through shortly before our trip. Allison gave us the peace of mind that our dog's would be taken care of. She stayed with them for more time than I had even dared hope for and sent us regular updates. She was transparent, responsible, respectful and kind. Upon our return it was obvious that our dogs missed us but it was also obvious that they had been well cared for and treated with nothing but love and kindness. I can't possibly be even more thankful than I am.”
“Andrea watched our dog and cat for a week and we were so happy with her care for them! She provided regular updates each day and we knew our pets were getting lots of attention and love. She went above and beyond treating them like her own! We will be booking with Andrea again!”
About: I have been helping care for pets since I was a young child. I grew up with pets and pet responsibilities. The love that I have for my pets crosses over to the love that I will bring for your pet. Pet sitting is currently my primary focus. This allows me to have greater flexibility in my schedule and more time to take care of your pets. Great care and concern for your pet is emphasized as well as open communication with you while your pet is in my care. Your concerns are my concerns when it comes to the safety and care of your pets.
About: Hello & welcome to my profile! I have been blessed by growing up around animals my entire life! My older brother has had dogs as small as a Poodle/Chihuahua mix (Ari) and as large as a Newfoundland (Armand - which I was able to help leash train)! My brother has relied on me multiple times to take care of them, and I do so lovingly! In Ari’s later years, he trusted me to give him his medication, special diet food, and assist him walk around. Additionally, I grew up around cats for as long as I can remember and currently have two of my very own. Not only cats & dogs, but bunnies, gerbils, and guinea pigs are all animals I have taken care of under my own roof! I know that each pet has their own personality and therefore needs specialized care. I know how much I think about my own when I am away from them, and I would be honored to lovingly take care of them so you don’t have to stress it! I currently work full time M-F, but am consistently done with work by 3:00/4:00 pm. This gives me plenty of time to stop by and care for your animals during the week part time, or full time on the weekends! Within my own home, I make sure to be proactive with making sure my cats have fresh water and food in their bowls at consistent times. I do not currently own any pet supplies for a dog and I live in a one bedroom apartment with limited space. I am happy to house smaller animals when need be and take care of all other pets within their own furever home!
“We loved working with Alana! She was very communicative throughout the sitting and sent plenty of pictures of our dog. Our dog Louie warmed up to Alana right away which speaks volumes about her presence. We look forward to working with Alana again in the future!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Windham
Sarah did a wonderful job taking care of Kali & Zoe. Sarah sent plenty of updates and pictures so we were confident all was well while we were gone. She was super patient with Kali when she was afraid of fireworks and needed extra love, and we came back to 2 happy pets. We’d be happy to have Sarah back again. Thank you!
We feel so fortunate to have found Gina. She came by our house initially to meet our 70 pound black lab mix, Darla, and agreed to come back again closer to our travel date to go through the house and get acquainted with Darla again. Gina picked up on my nervousness about leaving Darla with a stranger. She is only the 2nd person besides family/close friends we have left Darla with but Gina was easy going and put me at ease about it all. Darla was super happy having Gina’s company while we were away, even more so because she works remotely so she was here for Darla all day! We came home to a clean house, including clean bedding, which wasn’t necessary but appreciated! We will not hesitate to contact Gina again for upcoming travel! She’s great and Darla approved :)

FAQs for House Sitting - Windham
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Windham on Rover is $48.84 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 4,320 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Windham. 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 Windham 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 Windham 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 Windham 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.
