“Lyn was absolutely wonderful with our Dozer. He was well cared for and I loved all the pictures of him. Our home was clean and tidy when we returned home which we greatly appreciated after a long work trip. We will absolutely use her again in the future.”
“Mason was very professional! She was on time, sent picture updates of our boy, checked in to make sure things he did were okay, overall asked good questions and was very kind! She didn't leave a mess, was respectful of our home and rules, and overall we felt very comfortable turning our parents brains off for a nice date night knowing our boy was not in any danger and having a nice time. 5-star experience! Time: one night Location: our home Pets: one small active dog Price: fair for services rendered”
“Excellent, excellent, excellent. Our dogs adore Miss Elly, and our home is always tidy and clean when we get back! We feel so safe traveling knowing that our babies are being well looked after!”
“What a great experience! She took great care of my dogs and my house on last minute notice when another sitter backed out 2 days before my vacation. Will be my go to from now on without hesitation. She is fabulous!!!!”
“Megan goes above and beyond! From cleaning up a mess, to staying extra time if the dogs were playing outside, she truly cares about our pets. Our dogs are family to us, and I fully trust Megan to care for them!”
“Shaela was great! She was able to spend the night with my new puppy and definitely made me feel better knowing someone was with him. She’s prompt and a great communicator. Would definitely use her again!”
“SO happy we booked with Layla and will 100% be booking her for all sittings in the future. She stayed at our house (which she left extremely tidy!), watered my plant while we were gone, sent pictures of our baby without us asking. She was extremely communicative about her schedule and met all of our expectations and more. I had a a bad experience with a different sitter and was hesitant to book again, but SO grateful we chose Layla. 10/10 recommend. :)”
“Nathan is the best! This is the second time we have booked with him and he takes such good care of our pups. He sends pictures often and communicates with us frequently. Our house is also well taken care of! I would recommend him to anyone :)”
“I needed a dog sitter last minute after a cancellation. She was on time, caring, responsive. Sent me several pictures and kept me updated. It was a great experience. Will definitely book again!”
“Crystal was fantastic. Zoe loved her and might have been disappointed that I came home. Crystal sent loads of pictures of Zoe playing, all of my flowers and plants survived and she was respectful of my home. I will use Crystal again.”
“We had a great experience with Diana. I would say it was one of our best using the app! She helped us out with just two week notice for a four-night stay watching our two cats. I'm not going to lie, we have some pretty specific instructions (e.g. opening windows at certain times and feeding our outdoor cat) but not only did she do them, she also communicated when she did. We always knew she would send photos and never had to ask! It really put us at ease as we were on our trip. We would love to make her our go-to sitter!”
“Carol was great! She sent pictures and updates of our girl. She left our house in great shape and even washed our sheets! We’re so grateful, having just moved here, to have a trusted Dogsitter! Thanks again, Carol! You’ll be our go to from now on!”
“Elizabeth was an ABSOLUTELY AMAZING in-home sitter! She was so attentive to our two sweet boys and super communicative during our trip. She gave me peace of mind so I could actually enjoy my trip without any worry. She was also very respectful of our home and even washed the sheets/towels before she left which was so kind. We will definitely be rebooking her for our next trip!!!”
“First time leaving my dog alone but Leilani made me not worry about it and focus on my work instead. She sends pictures and feedback about the pet(s) and cares for them as her own, you can tell.”
“Katie did a great job with caring for my 2 male cats for a week. One of my cats had been recently diagnosed with a medical issue. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing that Katie was staying at my house & frequently checking up on him.”
“Antonella did a wonderful job with my baby Bella. I had never left her before and I felt very comfortable leaving her with Antonella. She was great at sending pics and updates. I came home to a happy girl. Definitely will use her again. Thanks so much Antonella!”
“Matt was awesome! He was on time, provided regular updates, and left the house very clean. Not to mention, the pups were well taken care of! I will definitely use him again.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Windrow on Rover is $61.95 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 2,445 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Windrow. 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 Windrow 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 Windrow 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 Windrow 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 Windrow. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
