“Mia is so sweet! She has a calming presence and she loves animals. She took good care of our pets and our house. She even was so kind and helpful when our dogs wouldn’t eat for her, she made scrambled eggs for them! We’d definitely book with Mia again❤️”
“Hannah was awesome! It was so nice being able to leave our dog at our home vs boarding. He was very well cared for and was his happy typical self when we got home. We’d definitely request Hannah’s pet sitting again!”
“We are SO glad we found Tyler… couldn’t be happier! He stayed with our sometimes over reactive dog for a week and it went well . Tyler is very attentive and kind. Sent updates and could easily be reached. Kept house clean and neat. Was great before our trip coming over to let our dog get used to him. So appreciated… will definitely use him again! Feel like we can go away and our dog is in caring hands. Thanks Tyler!!”
“Brooke was wonderful with our dog, Sage. She took great care of him and of our home, and was very communicative so we knew everything was going well the whole time we were away.”
“We loved having Sarah care for Clyde. We came home from an extended trip to a happy and well cared for pup! 🐶 💕 We look forward to having her back to help in the future.”
“Katie was absolutely wonderful! From the very beginning, she was warm, personable, communicative, and incredibly kind. She took the time to set up a meet and greet, came prepared, and was so patient in letting Shep warm up to her at his own pace. It was immediately clear how much she genuinely loves and understands dogs. She kept me updated throughout her stay, was flexible, thoughtful, and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. I trusted her completely, even though we had just met, which says a lot. I couldn’t recommend Katie more highly and will absolutely be booking with her again!”
“Zania was absolutely fantastic with our pit bull & cats. Our pittie is calm & lovey inside, but when he gets outside, he’s a crazy man. Zania handled him with great ease and is very knowledgeable with dogs and training. We had 1 night away and we were updated about walks, feedings, pictures, and given a bedtime pup-date ( update at the end of the day) We could not have asked for more. We are thrilled to welcome her to our house for more pet sitting.”
“Ashley was amazing! She notified us and sent a picture of our pups soon after she arrived. She kept us updated by emails and photos throughout her stay. Because our return was tentative because of driving back from a wedding, she stopped by in the afternoon to let the pups out prior to our return. I highly recommend her and will be using her again!”
“Caylin was very kind and patient with our pup who is fearful of people. She let him have his space and warm up in his own time. We received photos and updates each day. Thank you, Caylin!”
“Amanda was excellent with our pretty large crew of 5 animals. She provides frequent updates with photos and videos and was able to accommodate our multiple cats and their different feeding needs. She worked with her husband to make sure our dog was taken out regularly when she had to work long shifts. Would love to have her pet sit for us again!”
“Melissa was wonderful. This was our first experience using Rover and she helped us better understand the process. Our dog is a puppy and we were nervous about leaving her but we came home to a very happy and relaxed puppy!”
About: Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has never felt like a job—it’s something I genuinely love. Growing up with a high-energy Blue Heeler taught me how important exercise, attention, and consistency are, while helping raise our Standard Poodle gave me experience with daily routines, training, walks, and plenty of playtime. I’ve also spent years caring for family members’ dogs, including multiple Chihuahuas and other breeds, each with their own unique personality and needs. When your dog is with me, they’ll get more than just basic care—they’ll get patience, attention, and someone who truly enjoys spending time with them. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, and I treat every dog as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy and make a priority in my weekly routine. I currently work part-time as a Supervisor at Urban Air and a Sales Associate at Vineyard Vines, which gives me the flexibility to plan my schedule around the pets I care for. I’m usually available most afternoons after 3:30 PM, as well as before 4:00 PM on some Fridays and Saturdays. Even when I have work commitments, I put in the effort to coordinate my time so I can provide dependable care both before and after my shifts whenever possible. While my Sundays can be a bit busier, I always make sure I can provide reliable, attentive care when I accept a booking. Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop-in visit, or just some extra companionship, I’ll treat them with the same care and attention I’d want for my own pet! When caring for pets, I focus on maintaining a safe, consistent, and engaging routine. With my own Standard Poodle, I make sure she is well-fed, has access to fresh water, gets regular potty breaks, and receives plenty of attention throughout the day. Because our yard requires close supervision during outdoor time, I’m accustomed to actively monitoring dogs while they’re outside to ensure their safety. I also make it a priority to provide exercise and mental stimulation through walks, games of fetch, playtime with toys, and one-on-one interaction. When caring for a client’s pet, I follow their established routine as closely as possible to help their dog feel comfortable, secure, and well cared for while they’re away.
About: I have been pet sitting for friends and family for about 10 years. I am dedicated to caring for your pet as if they were my own! Willing and able to follow any personalized or unique instructions as well. I am currently working part-time and have plenty of open availability. That may be subject to change on a weekly basis but advanced notice will be provided. I hold myself to a very high standard of trust and integrity in all aspects of life. I am dedicated to providing an excellent client experience and caring for pets and the home as if they were my own.
“We highly recommend Phillip and cannot fully express how grateful we are for his excellent care of our pup Bennie. Phillip was truly one of the best sitters we’ve ever had ! We booked for house sitting just a couple weeks ago when we planned to bring both our disabled senior dog Max and Bennie . At the time we asked for help with taking special care of Max, repositioning and taking him out every couple hours during our time at Church Retreat. Sadly Max passed before our trip, Phillip was kind enough to still be willing to hang out with Bennie as we were staying at an Airbnb that normally doesn’t allow pets and had given us permission since we have a sitter and a crate for him. Philip was so thoughtful and kind to our Bennie making sure he felt secure and loved. He kept us informed on how Bennie was doing throughout the 2 days and was even willing to drive 30 min to the church we attended, so that he could hang out with Bennie in a shady spot for a couple hours ! We look forward to booking Phillip the next time we come to PA👏🐶”
“Kianna was fantastic!! This was our first time using Rover and Kianna was very helpful with the process and was amazing with our 2 dogs for the entire week. She sent daily updates (pictures and texts) of our dogs. I would highly recommend Kianna for anyone who’s looking for someone to housesit/dog sit your pet(s).”

We booked Brooke last minute as our previous services fell through while we were away. Brooke was very thorough and understanding, and got to our dogs within the hour of booking! She took our dog to the vet and communicated his care until we were able to get home. She gave us a sense of relief. Definitely would recommend Brooke!
Sydney was great with Chloe. She was super communicative. And did way more than she signed up for. Chloe was on a Medicine by the time of the visit, and helped with our pool maintenance, flower watering, etc. I would have her again in a heartbeat. Chloe was in great hands.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Windom on Rover is $27.25 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 1,139 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.

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.
