“We have had Mark sit at our house twice now and couldn’t be more happy. We have a high energy, large, 1 year old golden retriever and Mark is excellent with him! He leaves our house as clean as we left it and it’s like he wasn’t even here when we get home (the only clue is our dog is more well behaved once we get home). He sends us pictures of our pup and is a trustworthy person to have at our home.”
“Autumn is so great! She took excellent care of our two dogs and our house while we were away. She sent updates every morning with pictures which made us feel so much better about leaving our pups. We have already booked our second stay and will continue to have Autumn as long as she’s available!”
“Dales care and concern for my 16 year old Maltese is impeccable. It is as if our Callie is his own. He has had to deal with some unpleasant situations and has handled them well. I could not have done any better. I never worry about her when in Dale's care.”
“Manoela was great! She was able to watch our dog Max fairly last minute. She was punctual, quick to respond, and sent us photos - I could tell Max was comfortable with her! Thank you!”
“I really don’t want to tell you how awesome Elizabeth, Scott and Amanda are, because I want them available next time I need house and puppy sitters. 😊 They were fantastic. Extremely communicative and friendly and put our minds as ease for two weeks whilst overseas. The photos and updates were wonderful. Thank you”
“I wish we could rate George higher! He took wonderful care of our rambunctious young dog and cat for the last week. They were clearly loved when we were gone and it seemed like they didn’t even notice our absence, so cheers to George. The man clearly has a way with animals!”
About: I have always loved all kinds of animals. I grew up befriending and taking care of multiple neighborhood pets. I ran a pet sitting business for most of my childhood. I recently worked at a vets office and have experience with all kinds of animals in all kinds of conditions. This also means that I have experience taking care of sick pets or being able to medicate when instructed. I have been a long time cat lover, now having three live with me in my home. Each have their own unique personalities and traits, no cat is "just a cat" to me. I have my older scaredy cat, my middle aged "annoying" brother cat, and our sweet rambunctious younger girl cat. I think I have a good personality for meeting new cats and usually can get them to warm up to me in time. I am quiet, calm, and clean, content to spend time with the smallest of your family. I am looking to do more and more cat sitting, I will be available all summer! I would love to spend more time with your pet. In my own home I do daily litter box cleanings, food and water bowl swaps, and play multiple times a day. Generally pet's worlds are our homes and I believe it is important their world is clean and stimulating.
About: I’m a huge animal lover and enjoy every opportunity to meet and care for new pets, whether they’re big or small, young or old! While I’m just getting started on Rover, I’ve been pet sitting for years and even worked as a dog walker in college. I have a black Lab named Theo, who I adopted from the Guide Dog Foundation after he was released for health reasons. Through my experience as a puppy raiser, as well as caring for other guide dog puppies when their raisers were out of town, I gained extensive experience with dog behavior, training, and safety. Because of that background, I feel confident handling a wide variety of pets and situations. Your pet’s safety and well-being will always be my top priority, so I make sure to discuss things like heat precautions, bloat, and other common dangers before we move forward so that I’m completely aware of your pets needs and quirks! I also know how important updates are when you’re away from your furry family members, so you can expect plenty of photos, communication, and detailed updates throughout my time with your pet. I’m here to connect, care for, and love your pet like my own! I am currently home full time and am available for drop ins or house sittings when needed! I am also flexible and can accept last minute bookings! When in your home, I would love to take your fur babies on walks, to dog parks, and anything else you already do with them to make them the most comfortable!
“Tristan was great. He arrived on time and was very polite. He took very good care of my baby and provided constant updates. I will definitely contact Tristan for any future needs.”
“Amazing dog sitter! The first time I ever felt comfortable leaving my dogs while on vacation. My dogs lover her! She sent pictures, kept the house in order, and most importantly spoiled our dogs. Will definitely use Summer in the future!”
About: I've had dogs and cats in my home since the day I was born. I've grown up taking care of our pets, as well as pets of family and friends. I will always give your pets tons of attention and love! I'm a college student with a very flexible schedule. I can largely work around your needs and be available accordingly, AM or PM and overnight if needed. My dogs sleep in my room, I feed them first thing in the morning, take them out for a morning stroll and bathroom time, walk them in the afternoon, and feed and take them out at night before bed. I also play with the dogs regularly (inside and outside), give ear rubs and belly rubs, and make sure they have water always.
“Tempest was fantastic when she watched our cat and dog. She was professional, great with communication and updates, and most importantly, gave the pets lots of attention and snuggles.”
“This is the second time we have booked with Leanna, and we couldn’t be happier! Came home to a clean home and very happy pup. We really appreciated the daily photo updates as well.”
“Madelena was amazing watching our pups! She was easy to work with, responsible and sent us fun pictures of the pups while we were. She took the dogs on walks individually and comforted them during some bad storms! 10/10 would recommend and rebook!”
“Cassidy took such great care of our dog, Teddy! She was friendly, communicative, and clearly loves animals. We got regular updates and photos, and it was obvious Teddy was happy and well-cared for. Highly recommend Cassidy—she’s the best!”
“This is the second time Susane has watched our three. We feel completely comfortable while away. She meets the needs of a senior dog and some rambunctious puppies. She is a good communicator. Kind and reliable. We will use again!”
“Tracy was great. She came to meet pets, was thoughtful to review and follow my notes, arrived on time, communicated very well during her time here and sent photos. She left our home neat and tidy. We have already booked her again.”
About: I have taken care of many different types of animals, and I have over ten years of experience with pet sitting. My specialty is with cats as I own three of my own! I strive to make sure each of my clients receive dedicated, specialized care. I am comfortable with administering certain medicines and can follow instructions exactly - even the wild requests! I will provide pictures and updates with each visit and will help your fur baby receive the best care while you are away! I am working full time on week days, but I am always available after four to go visit your pets! I also have free availability on the weekends and will even stay overnight if needed! I will dedicate quality time with your pet and make sure they striving in their environment. I follow any instructions left and make sure they are engaged and happy when I leave!

I cannot say enough good things about Zack! He was incredibly kind, patient, and caring with my Great Dane, treating him like one of his own. During our time away, my dog developed some stomach issues and ended up with diarrhea, and Zack went above and beyond by administering medication and making sure he was comfortable, cared for, and closely monitored. Zack kept me updated throughout the stay, was attentive to my dog's needs, and handled everything with such professionalism and compassion. Knowing my pup was in such capable hands gave me complete peace of mind. It is clear that he genuinely loves animals and takes great pride in the care he provides. If you're looking for someone trustworthy, dependable, and truly dedicated to the well-being of your pets, I highly recommend Zack. We will absolutely be booking with him again
Our dog had an unexpected trip to the vet the night before we went out of town and was sent home with several medications and eye gel to take. Leanna made us feel so reassured as she handled the new medication request SO well. Especially with our dog who doesn’t like to take medications. We’re so grateful for Leanna!!
Manoela was friendly, communicative, and provided regular updates throughout the stay. My pets were well cared for, and I appreciated receiving photos and videos while I was away. She was responsive to messages and easy to work with. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter.
We have had Mark sit at our house twice now and couldn’t be more happy. We have a high energy, large, 1 year old golden retriever and Mark is excellent with him! He leaves our house as clean as we left it and it’s like he wasn’t even here when we get home (the only clue is our dog is more well behaved once we get home). He sends us pictures of our pup and is a trustworthy person to have at our home.
Claire did a wonderful job with our pup Miles! We greatly appreciated the consistent communication & various pictures throughout her stay. Claire made sure to ask questions in order to be consistent with our pups routine. We were overall very happy with Claire & the excellent care she provided!
Willow was a gift to leave our pups with! She was so reliable, always on time and very communicative! She brought in mail and left our home spotless! She was available at a moments notice and even offered to stay longer depending on our commute back home! We (and our pups) loved having Willow pup sit for us! 🤍🐶
Kotryna was great! She watched my 4 month old Swissy Mitch. For starters she arrived on time. She took Mitch out regularly throughout the day. The weather was nice so she let him explore the backyard and gave him plenty of playtime in the front. I got plenty of updates during the day and a full update when she left. I am super happy with the care she provided Mitch and look forward to having her help in the future!!
Jenna stayed with our boys for a week and gave constant updates and lots of play time for our puppy. She always leaves the house better than she found it and our pets are satisfied when we get home. She always makes us feel comfortable leaving our pets with her while we enjoy our vacations!

FAQs for House Sitting - Windrush
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Windrush on Rover is $44.4 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 4,762 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Windrush. 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 Windrush 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 Windrush 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 Windrush 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 Windrush. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
