About: I love animals and have always loved taking care of them. I have had 3 cats in my life. All of which had different needs, like administering medication and after surgery care. One of my first jobs was regularly walking an American Bulldog, Elvis. He was the sweetest! I’ve dog sat multiple times for a variety of breeds, from golden doodles to bull terriers. I work from home, so my schedule is pretty flexible. I am able to make visits earlier in the morning, during lunch hours, and late afternoon. I plan to keep in communication with you in order to maintain safety & trust while I care for your pets! Maintaining a safe environment is important to me, I plan to make sure my care mimics yours to reduce stress on you pets!
“We absolutely loved having Ava watch our pups while we were gone for the day. She arrived on time (even with a last minute ask from us), sent lots of pictures and spoiled our pups with lots of love. 100% recommend Ava and we will use her pet sitting services again! Thanks Ava! :)”
“Debra was great- communicated frequently while she took care of our fur babies. Sent pictures and left the house cleaner then when we left! I’ve already asked her to help us out again in the future. Highly recommend.”
“Desiree was awesome. Berty and Otter love her. They had a blast. Desiree did a great job communicating how the dogs were doing. Dogs were chill and happy when we got home. We really enjoyed all the photos she sent of our furbabies :). We will definitely use Desiree again”
About: Your pet won't just be supervised—they will be completely folded into my daily routine, receiving constant affection, belly rubs, and inclusion in family life. My experience with animals isn't just a job; it’s a lifelong calling. For over a decade, I have cared for a diverse family of pets, mastering the art of reading their subtle body language and anticipating their needs. I understand that every dog has a unique personality—from the high-energy pup who needs an exhausting game of fetch to the quiet senior who wants a gentle hand on their head. My hands-on experience has taught me how to establish instant trust, calm anxious minds, and provide a nurturing environment where pets don't just stay, but truly thrive. As a work-from-home entrepreneur, my schedule is entirely my own—which means your pet is never an afterthought, but a central part of my day. Because I control my hours, I don’t leave for a 9-to-5. Instead, my workspace is shared with your pet, offering them a constant, comforting human presence that drastically reduces separation anxiety. My daily routine is intentionally built around natural breaks that perfectly mirror a dog's need for stimulation, affection, and rest. I transform my home into a peaceful, tail-wagging sanctuary where your pet is treated as an honored family member, not a guest. Because I work from home, my environment is calm, highly predictable, and entirely secure.
About: With experience as a former veterinary technician, I have a strong background in providing safe, attentive, and compassionate care for dogs and cats. I’m experienced with administering medications, maintaining daily routines, and providing general pet care while paying close attention to each animal’s individual needs. I’ve worked in a variety of animal shelters and kennels, giving me experience with pets of different ages, personalities, and behavioral needs. I have a particular understanding of dog behavior and am comfortable working with shy, nervous, or anxious dogs and cats. My goal is always to help each pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own environment. I also previously fostered puppies through the Brandywine SPCA, where I helped prepare them for adoption by teaching basic commands, manners, and foundational training. Before each pet-sitting stay, I like to meet with you and your pets so I can learn their routines, preferences, personalities, and specific needs. Building trust with both pets and their owners is very important to me. I look forward to meeting your pets and providing them with the same patience, attention, and care I would give my own. Your pets’ safety and well-being are always my top priorities I currently work full-time at a kennel with a consistent schedule, including the same days off each week. My typical shifts are six hours, with occasional 10-hour weekend shifts. I receive my schedule two weeks in advance, allowing me to plan ahead and maintain flexibility for additional work commitments While I’m currently unable to have pets in my own home, I’m happy to travel to your home to provide pet-sitting services. I like to meet both you and your pets beforehand so they can get comfortable with me in their own environment. This also gives me the opportunity to learn about their routines, personalities, and individual needs while getting to know you and building a trusting relationship. I love spending quality time with pets, whether that means playing with dogs and cats, giving them attention and companionship, or simply making sure they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. :::
About: I have three dogs of my own back at home, all boys, two small and one big, and they truly are my babies. I have always loved being around dogs and giving them the attention, care, and affection they deserve. What sets me apart is how much I genuinely enjoy spending time with them. I will make sure your dog gets plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and company instead of just being left alone. I treat every dog like they are my own and want them to feel comfortable, happy, and cared for while you’re away. Honestly, I have always said I love dogs more than people! I’m currently a second-year business marketing student at West Chester University. My class schedule gives me plenty of flexibility to care for your dog throughout the week. I have classes Monday through Thursday. Outside of class, I’m flexible and happy to work around your dog’s routine and needs! I’ve always loved caring for dogs and currently have three of my own, two small boys and one big boy who are truly my babies! I’m comfortable caring for dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I have experience with their everyday needs, including walks, feeding, potty breaks, playtime, and giving plenty of love and attention. I really enjoy getting to know each dog and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while they’re in my care. I’ll treat your dog with the same patience, care, and love that I give my own.
“Sam was the best!! She watched our Ella girl for us while we went out for the evening and sent pictures throughout the night and stayed in touch! Ella definitely enjoyed her company while we were away 🥰 very communicative & professional and we will be in touch for the future!😊”
“Heather was amazing and took great care of our babies, you can tell she loves animals! I also received beautiful pictures from her throughout my vacation and felt relaxed knowing they were in good hands!”
“Amelie truly came in clutch when another dog sitter canceled 5 days before my trip. I couldn't have asked for a better person! She was amazing with my HUGE grumpy older dog and my HYPER younger 2 year old...and did I mention they are Rotties?!! She was amazing from start to finish. This is truly the first time I came home from a trip and the dogs seemed well loved and taken care of, no anxiety from them at all. Thanks, Amelie! Rover friends, look no further and book her now...just not when I need her ; )”
“Laura took care of our fur babies (dog and cat) like they were her own! She was extra attentive and extremely communicative especially related to some potential health issues with one of our pets. She stayed at our house and left it in excellent condition!”
“June stayed in our home. Ike was well cared for, happy and relaxed when we got home. Communication was clear, and everything went smoothly. We’d definitely hire her again.”
“We are so thankful to have found Mackenzie! She took care of our dog in our home while we were away and kept us updated throughout the trip with how he was doing to ease our minds while away! We feel so fortunate to have found her and will definitely be using her again!!”
About: I have been working with dogs for many years; I often worked with the needy dogs at my local shelter when they needed someone to keep them company with. I’m currently working part-time, so I can stop in most times of the day or night to check on your furry friend. I am happy to accommodate your schedule needs in order to take the best care of your pet. I will make sure that your pet feels safe and at ease when I am over to watch them. I pride myself on being a safe space for them to coexist with me.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Windon
Abby was incredible from the moment we first met. She took care of our baby like her own, which is super important to us because we don’t trust many people to care for our dog. She sent us plenty of updates and pictures each day. I highly recommend Abby for any dog sitting needs. She is truly great!
Alec has watched my dog, Trace, at my house twice and has been a great sitter both times. He was able to show up 3 times a day to let Trace out and feed him. He took him on walks every time and provided timely updates with pictures. I would recommend Alec for any dogsitting needs and will definitely look to him in the future!
Hailey was great! She was very responsive and kept us updated on our pup throughout the entire stay. We felt comfortable knowing our pup was in good hands while we were away. We highly recommend Hailey and will definitely be booking with her again in the future!
Claudia was great. She stayed with our Westie over a long weekend when we were away. She has a lovely personality and was a pleasure to work with from the initial contact through a meet-and-greet and then the weekend. She was punctual, paid close attention to information about our dog's routine, asked good questions, and kept us informed. We returned to a tidy house and a happy pup. Highly recommend.
Gabrielle went above and beyond to take care of our senior dog, who needs a little extra t.l.c. due to illness and anxiety. She was very responsive and responsible and kept us updated and reassured while we were away. She not only took excellent care of our dog, but also kept our home clean and neat and left everything better than she found it. We highly recommend Gabrielle and will not hesitate to hire her again!
Lila was great! She stayed at our house with our 3 dogs for about a week while we were away. The dogs were well taken care of. We have an elderly dog with mobility issues and Lila was able to help her get up. She left the house very tidy and even offered to do drop in visits after our flight was unexpectedly cancelled. Will use again!
Gabby is a delight! This is the second time we've had her over to dog sit for us. Our pup loves her and she's so sweet. We appreciate that she's willing to hang out with Evie for a couple hours while we are out so she doesn't get into any trouble. Thanks again, Gabby!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Windon is $50 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $61 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 October 2026, there are 5,100 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Windon. 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 Windon 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 Windon 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 Windon 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
