“Abby did an amazing job! She is prompt with her responses and is an excellent communicator. She kept us updated with our dogs and our home and even helped troubleshoot our AC after a brief power outage. She was patient and understanding through it all! She took excellent care of our home and left it cleaner than we left it haha. I would highly recommend her and will be using her again!”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care of our dog and cat received while we were away. Serenidy went above and beyond, showering them with love and attention. Not only did they feel comfortable and loved, but our home was also in great hands!”
“Cindy was so great with Kelsey. He’s very anxious and skittish with people he’s not familiar with, but he took to Cindy right away and she was very patient with him. Before we knew it, he was going to her first snuggles, which is very rare with someone he doesn’t know. And she treated my home as her own, very respectful. I would not hesitate to use Cindy again. And hopefully when she has her grooming business going, I can start sending people to her.”
About: I am currently going to school to become a veterinarian, which has given me a strong foundation in animal health and behavior. I have been trusted by friends, family, neighbors, and mutual connections to care for their animals since I was young. In addition, I have pet-sat for many furry friends and worked in veterinary clinics for the past two years, gaining hands-on experience caring for puppies/kittens and senior pets. I am currently working full time at a veterinary clinic, but I have breaks throughout the day and a flexible schedule. This allows me to make pet care a priority, with plenty of time for visits, play, feeding, and attentive care throughout the day. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home. I currently have a dog who is crate trained when I am not present, helping maintain a calm and safe environment. I carefully follow each pet’s routine and any specific instructions or precautions provided by the owner. I treat every animal as if they were my own, providing plenty of love, patience, and attentive care. I also take time to build trust with both pets and their owners and communicate regularly with updates and photos, so you always feel confident while your pet is in my care.
“Rocky, Luna and Mocha are loved beyond and my home is exactly as I had left it. My chickens are happy! The communication while we were away was outstanding. I have never had a more relaxed trip away knowing my home and animal family is cared for.”
“James did a great job taking care of my two cats while I was on vacation. He sent me pics and videos every day so I could see how my boys were doing. The house was spotless and so was the litter box. Highly recommend! And I would definitely re-hire.”
“Jessica is an exceptional petsitter. This was her first stay with our dog and 2 cats, and our first booking through Rover. In the past we've always used petsitters that had been recommended to us by friends, but when our regular sitter had to be out of town for a funeral unexpectedly, we decided to give Rover a try. I was drawn to Jessica's description of her approach with cats, stating that she "connects with each cat on their terms." Our cats have extremely different personalities, and one has a tendency to be anxious and very slow to warm up to people. It was important to me that a petsitter respect this cat's boundaries and take their time earning my cat's trust. Jessica blew us away in this regard. By the end of her weeklong stay, not only was our cautious cat seeking out Jessica, sitting near her, and allowing pets... our cat even slept in the bed snuggled up with Jessica on the last night of her stay. This far exceeded our expectations and is direct evidence that Jessica honored our cat's boundaries and allowed the building of trust to happen at our cat's pace. Our dog had been ill in the days leading up to Jessica's visit, and though giving him meds and cleaning up after him when he'd had loose stools wasn't a part of her originally expected duties, she never missed a beat. She kept us updated on his improving condition while we were away and went out of her way to make sure our boy was recovering well. He clearly bonded with her as many photos featured him cuddling up with her. Jessica's communication was superb. I greatly appreciated that she texted me early on the morning of the first day of the stay, confirming she was looking forward to being with our furbabies and that she would notify us that she had arrived. We got daily pictures and updates on all three of our furbabies without having to prompt her for them. She responded very quickly to every message we exchanged, both leading up to the stay and throughout the course of the stay. Our home was well cared for during her stay as well. She took care of making sure the trash/recycling was put out on the correct day, left things as neat as they were when she arrived, and even cleaned up after our messy eater of a cat, leaving the feeding space nice and clean for our return. Best of all, when we returned home, though our pets were excited to see us, it was clear that they weren't stressed by us being away. They clearly received lots of affection and Jessica had followed our care instructions completely. We couldn't be more pleased and look forward to booking with her again in the future.”
About: Hi my name is Chyna. I have six years of pet care experience, and I know how much it matters to feel comfortable with the person caring for your pet. My goal is to help your dog feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Whether we’re taking a walk or spending time together during a drop-in, I’ll follow your care instructions, respect your home, and keep you updated with photos and messages. I’d love to learn about your dog’s personality, favorite activities, and daily routine! I work during the day and attend school, so I arrange pet care around those commitments. I’m primarily offering walks and drop-in visits during my available afternoons, evenings, and weekends. I’m also open to occasional overnight stays with advance planning. Before accepting a booking, I’ll confirm the care times you need and how long your pet would be alone so we can make sure it’s a good fit. For the past six years, I’ve cared for my parents’ animals when they’re out of town and watched many of my friends’ dogs, too. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pets with someone, and I want you to feel comfortable knowing they’re getting care and attention while you’re away. I’ll follow your pet’s routine, take time to learn their personality, and send photos and updates so you don’t have to wonder how they’re doing. I’m excited to meet some new furry friends through walks, drop-ins, and occasional overnight stays!
“Valeria was amazing! Truly had the best experience with her. She was so communicative and had great attention to detail. Cannot recommend her enough! We will definitely book with her again ❤️”
“Mariah was absolutely wonderful! She loved our pups as if they were her own. Loved the daily picture updates. She took wonderful care them and our home. Highly, highly recommend her!! Will definitely rebook.”
“Great with my dogs, cats, and lizards!! Yes, lizards! Alicia sent photos and videos every day several times a day while we took our kids to Chicago for the long weekend. We booked house sitting, and boy, she really did house sit! She even vacuumed, did dishes, and took out the trash for us. Really appreciate her and WILL be booking again.”
“Cheney did a great job caring for our puppy! She has such a sweet, understanding, fun demeanor and our dog loved her! She kept us updated throughout the time she watched our pup and she was extremely timely with her communication before the visit. We will definitely book with Cheney again!”
“Dixie was fantastic! We have used a lot of different sitter, but Dixie was by far the best. She communicated regularly and clearly. She sent updates and made sure to ask all the right questions anytime something happens with our pets. Great house guest, everything was just how we left it. Will book again!”
“Sara is wonderful! Easy to communicate with, sent me plenty of pictures that showed not only that my baby was doing well, but that she was being her normal self and doing her normal routines. If your pet is your family you can trust Sara will treat them that way!”
“Destiny was so amazing!!! She waited longer than the booking so Cassidy wouldn’t be alone at home until I could get there. Would highly recommend her to watch your loved pets anytime!!”

About: As a dedicated pet sitter and proud owner of two wonderful dogs, I understand the importance of trust and care when it comes to your furry friends. With years of personal experience in pet care, I offer a loving and reliable service, ensuring your pets are happy, healthy, and well-cared for in your absence. Whether it’s dog walking, feeding, or just keeping them company, I treat every pet as if they were my own. Let me provide the care your pets deserve! During the summers I have a part time job which causes me to be busy between the hours of 3pm and 8pm, other than that i am usually free or can free up my schedule with AT LEAST 3 days notice. Before my first official meeting with your pet, I do require a prior meet and greet to get to know your fur baby and to make sure they aren't startled or alarmed by a stranger coming into their home, this also helps me begin to better understand their needs and routines. Instructions on your pets care are strongly encouraged due to some pets having additional needs or medical problems. I also ask that you leave your pets veterinarian information in case of any incident. Communication is key!! I love to keep clients updated with pictures and videos of their pets to highlight how they're doing.
“We’ve used Genna a couple of times for housesitting our dogs and she has been great. Good communication and photos/updates which help make us feel more at ease while we are away knowing that the dogs are in good hands. Our dogs can be a handful around strangers, but both took to her quickly and she was very good with them. We would definitely use Genna’s services again.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Windmill Creek
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 2,656 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Windmill Creek. 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 Windmill Creek 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 Windmill Creek 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 Windmill Creek 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.

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.
