“I am so grateful I found Erin on Rover to stay with my dogs while we were away. I could tell within the first 5 minutes of the dogs meeting her that they would love her and would be in such good hands. Any time I travel I worry about my dogs and I can honestly say on this trip I had zero concerns. She sent a nightly update with multiple photos to give me a recap of their day. I appreciated it SO much. I would recommend her to anyone and will definitely be booking with her again when we have future travel plans.”
“We are very thankful for Kate’s help! We received many kitty pictures and updates while we were away and the house was spotless when we returned. It was our first time using Rover and are super happy with the whole experience.”
“Grace did a great job watching our sweet Charley for the weekend. I think it’s always hard having someone new stay over and take care of your “baby” but Greece was exactly what we needed. She was easy to reach if needed and I know Charley had a great time. she kept the house in order and sent us fun videos of Charley having fun. I will definitely want to rebook Grace in the future.”
“We had Mackenzie watch Jasmine and Rudy for a day, as a trial for a longer stay later on. We are super happy with both Mackenzie's care for the doggos and also her responsiveness and communication with us. She followed our instructions thoroughly, kept us updated, and responded promptly when we reached out. Thank Mackenzie!”
About: I’m a mom to 4 rambunctious children and 1 kid friendly chihuahua(14) and 1 loving husky pit mix(1). When most people meet my dog they are surprised at how friendly he is and how good he is with our young children. We used to have two dogs but we had to put older one down due to seizures and brain issues. In high school I worked in an army veterinary clinic as a veterinary assistant for a cooperative work experience program. My original plan in life was to be a veterinarian but after having to assist with some tough cases I decided just being a good pet owner and caregiver was more my speed. I’m a full time stay at home mom and love playing with my dogs and kids in my spare time. I’d love to help you care for your fur baby as well. I’m pretty flexible. I’m home days once I get my kids get off to school during the day. In the evenings and on weekends I take them to their respective practices or games but that doesn’t mean I don’t have time to care for and give your fur baby some love as well. I like to take my fur babies for about a mile walk in the morning and then my younger pup will go on another half mile walk with me in the after noon. My older guys stays home and chills but he gets lots of love and snuggles at home.
About: I have been taken care of pets for many years im a dog owner in past had golden and beagle. I love to have a long walk, play with furrys I have time on a weekends to walk with your dog twice a day, and also boarding for couple of hours during week day when you most needed I only offer pet sitting in the owner's home, so I check the space before I start: whether the yard is fenced, where things are kept, and what the pet's routine looks like. I take them out for potty breaks as needed and follow the owner's instructions for feeding, walks, and anything specific to their pet.
“Brenda was fantastic!!! She took excellent care of my four dogs spending lots of time with them. It’s such a relief to find someone I don’t worry about leaving the dogs with! The house and yard were also clean as well.”
About: I started walking dogs for neighbors as a way to get in extra exercise on the weekends and ended up loving it! Other neighbors saw and soon after inquired for weekend walks! I’ve dog sit for friends and family members whenever they’d go off on vacation or away for work trips. I have experience with dogs with anxiety, blindness, medication administration, and puppies! I’m a tattoo artist searching for a fun, outdoorsy, active side gig to get me out of the house and into fun shenanigans with sweet pups! I treat all pets as if they’re apart of my own family, because they are -woof-! I’ve cared for elderly pets, special needs pets, and puppies and understand that not all pets are the same, some require more time to gain trust while others are more outgoing; some need a 5 minute break to relax mid walk, while others are high energy the entire time through! I’ve experienced it all and look forward to working with you and your pet!
About: I’ve taken care of my neighborhood dogs for the past 5 years and have a keen skill of making the dogs satisfied and the owners happy with the service. I’m currently working part-time so pet care will be my main priority as my live for animals transcends my other responsibilities in my life and schedule Throughout my past experiences, I’ve helped to maintain the safety and security of pets, made meals for them and helped with the yard fencing related to pets.
“Ayanna was amazing! Our zoo of furbabies absolutely love her. She sent pictures of the pups throughout our vacation and we came home to a happy house! Will definitely be calling her for our next vacation!”
“We couldn’t have asked for better care for our dogs! Rebekah and her daughter Sadie were absolutely wonderful- kind, attentive, and clearly passionate about animals. From the moment we met them, we felt completely at east leaving our dogs in their care. They kept us updated with photos and messages, which meant so much to us while we were away. Our dogs were happy, relaxed, and clearly well loved when we returned. We are so grateful and would not hesitate to book with them again. Highy recommend to anyone looking for responsible, loving, and trustworthy dog sitters!”
“Jamie was awesome and Tucker had a great weekend without us. She took care of my very spoiled baby and kept me updated with pics and videos the whole time. I highly recommend and definitely will use her again!”
“10/10 would recommend Cassidy for house sitting your pet! She was great with our Australian Shepherd who has some nuanced social anxieties, and Cassidy helped his worried mama feel comfortable leaving him home. She gave our dog lots of love, attention, and exercise, even a super cute bandana! She also took great care of our home and sent frequent updates and pictures. Cassidy is professional, knowledgeable, responsible, and sweet. We look forward to requesting her services again!”
“Lily was fantastic and we would absolutely book her again in the future. She was a superb communicator, kept us updated throughout the day, and sent lots of pictures. She ensured that our pups stayed on their normal schedules and provided lots of love to each of them. Lily even provided attentive care to our senior pup who was on the mend with a paw infection while we were away. Our younger pup thoroughly enjoyed his multiple walks a day as well. She also left our home spotless upon our return as well. My husband and I highly recommend Lily for your booking!”
“Jessica was amazing with my dogs. They were well take care of and she took the time to play with them and give them love and attention. I will definitely ask her to watch them again if I need a sitter and I highly recommend her”
“Mariangely did an amazing job watching my home and my cat / dog. I received updates and pictures every day. I know they were both in good hands while I was away. Would highly recommend her to anyone!”
“Amazing sitter! Communication is always quick and gave updates and photos of our pets and spent quality time with them! She truly cares about your pets and giving them the best care possible while you are gone! Would recommend again and again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Windrush
Zachary did a fantastic job keeping our Eevee company. She does not fair well at the kennel, and is most comfortable staying in our home. We were nervous at first with having a stranger at the house, but Zachary quickly put our mind at ease. We will definitely book again.
Katherine was a very attentive sitter with regular communication. We got updates and pictures daily. She always responded to my outreach in a timely manner. She followed instructions well and left the house clean. Everything you could ask for when leaving our precious pups with a sitter!
Lorelei stayed at our home for a week and took wonderful care of our two dogs while we were away. She kept us updated, left the house clean, and made sure our pups were happy and well cared for. It was such a relief knowing they were in good hands. We would definitely book with Lorelei again!
Samantha did an amazing job taking care of Ari and Cholula! Since they’re senior dogs, they sometimes need a little extra love and attention, and Samantha was wonderful with them. She kept us updated with multiple messages and photos throughout her stay, which we really appreciated. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such caring hands. We’re so grateful for the care she gave our dogs and would absolutely recommend her to anyone. We would happily hire her again!
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! 🤍🐶

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 , 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.
