“We had Ryan stay with our 2 dogs, Jade and Sienna and we are so happy we chose him. He took great care of them! They can be timid around new people and Jade takes a bit to trust, but Ryan got them to warm up and be best buddies right away. They were cuddle buddies from then on. He sent some pics too and we could see they were very comfortable with him. Ryan was always very good with communication too. He's a really great guy. Don't hesitate to book him as we certainly will be booking him again.”
“Jessie did wonderful watching our crew of animals. She is very experienced with a variety of different dog personalities and our animals immediately were comfortable with her(even our quirky one). She kept us updated on them throughout the days. She came and did a meet and great with them to make sure everyone was comfortable with her staying at our house. Thank you Jessie for making sure our minds weren’t stuck on if the animals were ok as we were fully confident they were in great hands.”
“We had a very last minute trip that Nina was amazing in accommodating! She is so sweet and communicative, always making sure we knew our dog was safe and having fun while we were gone. We will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Nafisa is such a wonderful sitter for our finicky pup! She is communicative, caring, and detail oriented. We love Nafisa and will always ask her to watch our guy.”
“Alyssa went above and beyond! Alyssa was great and was in contact when our one dog had an upset tummy. Took such great care of the boys and had the house looking better than when we left it. Will definitely book with Alyssa again!”
“Judith treated our pup, Rayne, with all the attention she has been craving since our son was born! She also treated our elusive outdoor cat and many plants with the utmost care. We will definitely rebook Judith if she is available the next time we need a house sitter for our fur and plant babies!!”
About: My mother had a boarding company so I spent a lot of my childhood helping care for all the doggos. I have also volunteered at numerous shelters & farm sanctuaries & have helped care for even more than just cats & dogs. I also have an 8 year old chocolate lab & 2 five year old kitties myself that I love & care for every day. I am currently working part time, with availability anytime after 4 pm Monday through Thursday! In the next 3 weeks my availability will open up a little bit more! I was raised around both cats & dogs & have a very good understanding of how to read both animals. I have a very soft calm aura as well as a lot of love & patience to build trust with the fur babies.
About: I’ve taken care of many different dogs over the years and have worked at PetSmart as a pets hotel associate. I have two dogs (10 and 3 years old). I’ve also owned four cats and babysat family and friends pets before! I am home all day so I am fully available to provide care to pets. I live in an apartment with two dogs and live in walking distance to a park where my dogs love to walk. I have two friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your pet if desired. I am home all day and take my dogs for at least three walks a day and we usually visit a park daily.
About: I've been taking care of dogs since i was a kid. I had my first pet when I was 8 and been a dog lover ever since. Now I have my own two little troublemakers Tobi and Canela, who I've had for 6 years and 2 years respectively. I've had them both since they were small puppies so I have a lot of experience with puppy care. I live a pretty active lifestyle so I love to go for long walks with my dogs and I would definitely be providing the same for your pets. I love to play with dogs and I've definitely been guilty of buying far too many toys for my pups to play with. I provide house sitting, overnight stays, dog walking services, and puppy care. I love to take pictures of animals so you'd also be receiving lots of playtime pictures! Your pets will be my passion and I'm ready to provide any and all services at a good affordable rate! I work full time M-F 9-5 so I can usually accommodate any care around those hours. I typically have very free weekends allowing me to take care of your pets whenever it's needed. I work by the Buffalo Niagara airport so depending on the location I can even provide a quick check-in during my lunch breaks at work. I have a lot of experience with crate training as my younger dog needed it to curb her destructive tendencies when she was left alone at home. I also have plenty of experience with potty training as I've trained both my dogs to be potty trained to go on their pads when they need to potty while I'm away. For any drop in visits I would make sure your pet has had a good amount of enrichment play and gotten plenty of love and affection before my visit with them ends
“Sara was amazing watching our dog. We were given updates and pictures while we were on our trip to put our minds at ease. Our dog loved her and was well taken care of. She left our house super clean after staying there for a week. It can be hard to put faith and trust into someone to watch your house and pet that you love, but we are so glad we found Sara to take care of our dog. Would highly recommend”
“Katy has watched our boys multiple times and every time she shows how caring, attentive, and kind she is. She goes above and beyond and is ALWAYS communicating so you feel at ease. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!”
“Professional and talented house sitter! We had to leave town last minute and Elisabeth was here on schedule to meet and care for our dogs. She made record progress with our one who can be reactive to strangers, and kept them on their routine while we were away. Thanks and we will definitely rebook in the future.”
“Another great booking! It is so nice to enjoy sometime away and know our senior pugs are being well taken care of. Haley leaves our home spotless and is so patient with our pups.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Windom
Cari is wonderful!! My dog is much better at home than elsewhere so I was looking for someone trustworthy to come stay at my house while I traveled, and also take care of our guinea pig. My dog seemed so content when I got home! I can tell he was really happy with her. She kept me updated with pictures and was willing to help take out garbage and bring and mail and kept my house spotless for when I got home. Couldn’t recommend her more!

FAQs for House Sitting - Windom
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Windom on Rover is $45 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 576 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Windom. 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 Windom 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 Windom 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 Windom 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Windom. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 87% 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.
