“Mikayla did a great job caring for our pups overnight. She even kept up with their medicine regime and reminded me when pills were out. I appreciated that she left our place clean and was respectful. Would definitely reach out again.”
“Really appreciated Kayla taking care of our Greg. It was certainly comforting to have videos and photos taken of our doggo, it made it a whole look easier to leave him in Kayla’s care. Would certainly recommend her. She was able to recreate his routine without any trouble!”
“Kelsey was great to work with! She watched my dog for the weekend and did drop in visits during the week. I felt totally confident leaving my pup in her care. Her updates were encouraging and I’m super grateful and delighted with the genuine attention and love that she gave to my dog. Definitely recommend!!”
“Elizabeth was fabulous and I would give 10 stars if I could! She was amazing with our two rambunctious Goldens. I didn’t have a worry while we were away because I knew she was taking care of them just like her own. Will be using her again and again!”
“Emily was respectful of our house and left it exactly how it was found. It was so nice knowing the dogs were in good hands and well taken care of. Hopefully Emily is available every time we need a dog sitter b/c I’d welcome her back each and every time! Thank you, Emily, for taking care of Tyson and Lilly while we enjoyed our last camping trip of the season.”
“Billie is definitely one of my favorite rover sitters to date! She was highly responsive during the booking/meet and greet process and very communicative throughout the duration of the stay. We received multiple updates a day with multiple photos which definitely put us at ease since one of our dogs can sometimes shut down a little while we are away. Billie did great with both of our dogs and even the one who typically hides while we are gone was a big fan - he was out and social most of the stay. Billie also left our house immaculate. Cannot give her enough praise, will definitely look to book more of our sittings with Billie in the future.”
“Kianna was a wonderful caregiver for our Fiona! She asked all the right questions about Fiona’s care and gave us regular updates during our out-of-town stay. I’d recommend Kianna to everyone! The best!”
“Michael was great with my husky Jameson!! I was in town for a friends wedding and he watched my pup at the hotel I was staying at when I was at the ceremony and reception. Super friendly, communicative and lots of pics, my pup had a big smile in every single one so I know he was well taken cared of and having fun!”
About: I’m a compassionate and caring individual, a dog doesn’t get by me without a tickle under the chin and a rub of the ears. I just love all fur babies. I’m looking for a new career, I’ve been working with the elderly for the past 14 years. Now I would love to give my love and compassion to my four legged friends. I will care for your pet as if it were my own. I will make sure we follow your guidelines for walks and play dates. You will get updates when we are together and we will keep a log or journal of all our day’s activities.
“Adam is wonderful!!! Sent pictures and updates daily throughout the 12 days we were away. He made us feel very comfortable and I know that the animals loves having him stay with them!! Left the house in pristine condition too! We will definitely use Adam again!!!”
About: Are you and your fur baby looking for a relaxed, safe and fun place to board him/her? That’s what I offer in my home. I treat all pets as if they were my own. I have experience w/senior dogs & puppies. I have been taking care of dogs for over 38 years. My dog Lizzy welcomes your fur baby. I’ll be sure to keep your fur babies tail wagging. Are you ready for your walk? Pet care is full time here. I keep a routine to get the doggies up early for potty breaks and feeding. We play outside, visit the park. We often hit Starbucks for a “Pup Cup” I have a large enough space so if caring for multiple doggies, I can separate all of them if needed. We love to go on walks and get the fur babies plenty of outdoor exercise. Your fur baby will love it here😊🐶 I care for your pets as of they were my own. I try to provide a fun and safe environment. I try to respect the owners wishes as far as food they can or cannot eat, and exercise time. In their home, I treat it with respect & don’t allow the fur baby to eat or chew on furniture.
About: I have a small dog of my own and we’re very excited to meet some new friends! I can understand how overwhelming it can be for you and your pup, but I promise they’ll be in good hands! I will provide plenty of photos and videos during their stay. I currently work full-time, available for dog walking and drop in visits. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me and I’ll get back to you. I live in an apartment, but I am close to a few parks in the area. I have a small dog that is friendly and excited to play.
About: What sets us apart is our dynamic as a dedicated sitters duo. With two pairs of hands, your pet gets double the attention, playtime, and walks. Because we don't have our own pets yet, your furry family member receives 100% of our focus and undivided love. We treat your home and pets with the ultimate care, ensuring a safe, personalized, and incredibly fun stay every single time. I currently work in a pet friendly office or have the flexibility to work from home if needed. I typically get home from in office work days around 5:30-6pm but that can be flexible if needed. I’m home most weekends and can care for your furry friends throughout the duration of the weekend. I live within a community that is within half a mile of a very large park! I also can travel to your home and have a ton of flexibility with whatever care your pet(s) need!
“Katie-Marie was wonderful! We entrusted her to not only care for our dogs but our house as well. She did an excellent job - taking care of our dogs, getting our mail, watering my plants. We were so happy to see pics of the dogs and we allowed her to bring her doggie as well, who played and played with our golden. We are going on vacation again and will be requesting her return again.”

Linette was awesome! Our cat, Naamah, often hides when company comes. Linette was able to win over her friendship, and they hung out a lot! She took great care of the house. She communicated with us while away and sent pics/videos. She is very professional. I highly recommend her! Steve

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Windom is $27 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $26 and $31 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 1,052 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Windom. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
