About: I've been taking care of cats, dogs, and koi since I was a kid. I am very knowledgeable about giving animals medication, walks, affection, playtime, and wet/dry food. I have always had love and compassion for all animals big or small. Whether it's an injured animal stuck in the middle of the road or a dog without it's owner, I always try my best to care for animals even if they aren't mine. I am available for daily drop-ins and overnights. I am always happy to discuss your specific needs and to make accommodations in accordance to your schedule. I always ensure my pets and the animals I care for get fresh food and water on a regular schedule. I regularly clean after my pets whether it's the litterbox or the backyard. Even when accidents happen I always make sure to keep their environment safe and clean. When it comes to exercise and play, walking my dog is no sweat and playing with my cats is always fun even for me. Finally, there is no shortage of affection when it comes to me. I love giving animals pets or gentle scritches. I can also read an animals body language when it comes to wanting space as well.

“Of course! Here’s a personalized and thoughtful Rover review for Amanda, using the names Boomer, Brian, and Roxy — assuming those are your dog(s) and/or people related to your dog: ⸻ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Wonderful Experience with Amanda – Our Pack Loved Her! We had such a great experience with Amanda! From the moment we met her, we knew Boomer, Brian, and Roxy would be in excellent hands. Amanda was warm, professional, and clearly has a real love for dogs. Throughout the stay, she kept us updated with messages, photos, and little notes that gave us total peace of mind. It was easy to see how happy and comfortable our dogs were with her—Boomer couldn’t stop following her around , Roxy got her attention, and even Brian (our picky one!) warmed up quickly. We’re so grateful to have found Amanda and will absolutely be booking with her again. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, reliable, and genuinely caring dog sitter!”
About: I have been an animal lover my whole life, my mom would baby sit neighbor’s dog all throughout my childhood, so I learned how to care for them from an early age. I’ve had an xl yellow lab for 8 years named Hiro. He is my whole world. I am especially skilled in taking care of large and xl dogs. Big dogs do not phase me, in fact I love them! I am a college student, but I have a ton of free time. I am free almost every weekend and most week days. My time is very flexible. I feel the best way to care for animals is to show them tons of love and attention. With my dog I usually walk him twice a day and make sure he gets a lot of time outside. I am very accustomed to the lifestyle of a high energy dog.

“Chris ( Chappy) is amazing. We have two giant (120 and 150 lbs), complicated dogs—one of whom can be aggressive. Plus seizures. This is not an easy situation and we have rejected most sitters. Chappy had the right experience and feel to handle them both. He is also extremely conscientious. He is an experienced dog handler and we are relieved to have found him.”
“Melissa is the best! She has watched my cats twice now and takes such great care of them. My cats are high energy and she spends lots of time playing with them and making sure they never get bored. I also appreciate her level of communication and updates that she sends! Melissa is my first choice when booking a Rover!”
“Leaving a pet behind while traveling is never easy, but Josephine made the experience completely stress-free. She was a fantastic house sitter who took wonderful care of my dog, Emma, and kept me updated with regular messages while I was in Germany. Beyond being great with pets, she also tended to my garden during my two-week absence. If you are looking for someone reliable and attentive, I cannot recommend Josephine highly enough!”
“Wendy was amazing! She was so good with my bully mix who can be wary of others! She took such great care of Luna, and took things at her speed which is exactly what I needed when finding a sitter for my girl! Will definitely recommend and be using Wendy again! Thank you!”
“Michele is awesome! She is extremely pleasant and very responsive, her calendar is up to date, and she provided ongoing updates throughout her stay with our dog Bebe. We felt extremely comfortable leaving our home and dog with her and we plan to utilize Michele for ongoing trips.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Windsor
Noemi was absolutely wonderful! I was nervous about leaving my dog because she can be anxious and has some behavioral quirks, but Noemi put me at ease almost immediately. She was patient, kind, attentive, and clearly took the time to get to know her. What I appreciated most was how great Noemi was about communicating with me. She sent regular updates and photos and told me how my dog was eating, sleeping, behaving, and settling in. I never had to wonder how things were going, and it was such a relief to see how comfortable and happy my dog was with her. Noemi also followed all of my care instructions and wasn’t afraid to ask a question when something came up, which I really appreciated. By the end of the stay, it was obvious that my dog had become very comfortable and attached to her. I came home to a happy, well-cared-for dog and felt incredibly fortunate to have found Noemi. I would absolutely trust her to care for my dog again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible, caring, and communicative pet sitter. ❤️
We could not have asked for a better house and pet sitter! From the moment we left, we felt completely at ease knowing our home and pets were in such caring, capable hands. Communication was excellent — we received regular updates, photos, and thoughtful check-ins that made us feel connected while away. We came home to a spotless house and happy animals. Natasha’s level of professionalism, reliability, kindness, and genuine care was truly exceptional. She really went above and beyond for us and managed everything so well. We would absolutely recommend Natasha to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to care for their home and pets. Five stars is not enough — she exceeded every expectation, and we will happily book her again in a heartbeat.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Windsor on Rover is $48.15 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 700 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Windsor. 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 Windsor 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 Windsor 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 Windsor 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.
