About: I have dogs in my life since childhood. I seem to have a draw and ease for dogs to come to me easily. I'm the one at the party talking to the animals. I can do over nights at your house. I have a 55 lbs gentle dog that can or cannot come with me to sit. I drop a grandchild off at school each morning around 8 a.m., i can be at your house until then, and return after dropping off. I do go to the rec center usually in a.m. a few days a week, but can work that schedule around your dog's. Dog walks happen when the air is warm enough for both dog and myself, aka warm enough on their feet. currently I live with my daughter and her family, so i am unable to do care for additional pets at our house. We do have a fenced in yard and doggie door for our dogs. Our dogs are walked daily at least once.
“Shannon was awesome and my Lucy loved her taking good care of her. She followed all instructions given and I really appreciate that she did that. I would highly recommend her and definitely will use her again.”
About: I provide more than pet sitting, I offer loving companionship, personalized attention, and peace of mind. I treat every pet like a cherished member of the family and every home with the utmost respect. I take pride in being dependable, attentive, and thoughtful about the little details that make a big difference. I specialize in overnight care, allowing pets to remain comfortable in their familiar surroundings while maintaining their daily routines. I also provide compassionate, senior pet care, including assistance with mobility, special feeding schedules, and administering prescribed medications according to instructions. Whether your pet needs extra cuddles, playtime, patience, or simply a calming presence, I adapt my care to their unique personality and needs. My goal is simple, happy, comfortable pets, a well cared for home and complete peace of mind for you while you’re away. Because your pets deserve more than a sitter they deserve someone who truly cares. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I enjoy providing companionship, comfort and attentive care to animals. My schedule offers flexibility allowing me to prioritize feeding times, walks, playtime, medication schedules, and plenty of affection. As an overnight, pet and house sitter, I thoughtfully plan my day around each pet‘s individual needs and establish routines whether it’s morning cuddles, afternoon potty breaks, or a relaxing evening together. I strive to make every pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I also balanced my professional commitments with my pet sitting responsibilities, communicating clearly about my availability and the time your pets will have my company. Your pets happiness, well-being, and comfort are always a priority while they’re in my care. I believe pets are happiest and most comfortable in their familiar surroundings. As an overnight pet and house sitter., I provide loving, attentive care, while maintaining your pets daily routines, helping them feel safe, secure, and relaxed while you’re away. I carefully follow your instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, litter box cleaning, bedtime routines, and administrating prescribed medications. I also provide gentle, compassionate care for senior pets, who may need extra patience, mobility, assistance, or special attention. I treat your home with the utmost respect, keeping pet areas clean, bringing in mail, watering plants, and maintaining a tidy environment as agreed upon. Communication is important to me. I provide regular updates and photos so you can enjoy your time away knowing your furry family members are happy and well cared for. My goal is simple, to provide the same love, attention, and comfort your pets receive when you’re home, while giving you complete peace of mind. Your pets are family, your home is your sanctuary and your trust matters to me.
“Mallie was excellent! Our pup LOVED her and was so well cared for while we were away. She sent daily updates, lots of photos, and left our house spotless. We 100% recommend her!”
“This is our second time having BreyAnna watch our dogs and she was wonderful again! She remembered all of the details and sent us photos and updates while we were away! We love BreyAnna!”
“Jamie is super kind, flexible and very dependable. Our dogs are well taken care of and super happy. It’s very comforting to know we don’t have to worry about our pets and our home.”
“Meghan is conscientious and dependable, and her care made our trip so much more relaxing. I have an 18 YO cat that needed pilled once a day and Meghan had no problems.) We will definitely be using her again as our kitty sitter.”
“Jasmine did a great job pet sitting my dog, Bowie! She went out of her way to send me photos and updates and was overall great with communication. She made me feel very at ease and took good care of my dog and my house while staying here. Bowie really likes her as well. I would definitely use her again for pet sitting and would recommend her to others as well.”
“Becca was very responsible. She arrived and leave on time all the time. Our dog had a wonderful time! She was caring, reliable, and kept us updated throughout the stay. She was in such good hands. Highly recommend!”
“Kayla took such good care of our kitties! She sent update photos every day and kept us updated with how they were doing. She left our house just as we left it. I would definitely recommended Kayla!!”
“Aaron was an absolutely STELLAR friend to our animals for what was actually quite a hectic time in our lives. Between a recent move, starting new jobs, getting married in 7 days - she was an excellent communicator, retained information about our pups and their routine like a pro, and even left our home better than she found it. My (very large, young, high energy, anxious) dogs have been through a lot of transitions in the past couple of months and when we came home they were more relaxed, happier than I’ve ever seen them after a weekend away. HIRE HER NOW!!!”
“Daniel was amazing! Our girl Arya loved him and I felt so happy that there was someone there while I was gone that loved her as much as we do. He was always responsive and sent updates and pictures each day. He was really adaptable to her changing energy levels and made sure she was engaged! She can play rough sometimes and will use all 50lbs to her advantage and I felt safe knowing she was in good hands! He even tidied up our space while here, which was an unexpectedly thoughtful gesture. Absolutely recommend!”
About: I have grown up around dogs my whole life, particularly larger breeds like Pitbulls, Vizslas, and German Shepherds. I have also volunteered at All Aboard Animal Rescue here in Fort Collins, specifically in their adoption events, and have fostered for them a handful of times, primarily puppies. My mom's most recent pup went fully blind within a week which helped me gain skills in aiding that significant change and adaptability, as well as encouraged me to practice patience. Another one of our Vizslas developed osteosarcoma and ended up losing a front leg, which was a major adjustment, but nonetheless he lived happily for the last few years of his life. Overall, I am very comfortable with caring for animals and have comfortability in both puppies and senior dogs that may require more care. I work part time in the service industry, meaning I have lots of flexibility, especially during the day, to take pets for walks and play with pups. My shifts are typically 6 hours at most, so I can let dogs out regularly. With that being said, I am available both weekdays and weekends. I currently live in a smaller apartment as opposed to a house, so I would prefer to come to your home when pet sitting to ensure your pups' comfort. Cats are a little easier in terms of the space I have, but again, I am more than happy to either commute multiple times a day or stay in the home to ensure your pets' comfort.
About: I have always loved taking care of animals since I was young- from dogs, cats, chickens, and fish I have always been surrounded by animals. I have a particular interest in animal behavior and training- I always want to ensure animals feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed when they are in my care. Before moving to Boston, I attended Colorado State University seeking my degree in veterinary medicine- the classes I attended focused on animal behavior, animal environment, and specifically handling large animals such as cattle. During my time there, I acquired my IACUC training for animal handling (can provide if needed, however it technically expired last year) and successfully performed medication administration, vaccine/medication injections, bovine castration, proper animal handling, and more. Unfortunately due to a family emergency I could not finish my degree, however I am looking to complete my animal training certification, as I still love working with animals! While I, myself, do not currently have any pets, my roommate has a cat that I help care for- his name is Boog and he's incredibly cute! I currently work part time Saturday-Monday mornings- after 3pm I am completely free! If your pets can be left alone for about 8-9 hours (travel time depending), I can house sit on these days while working. The rest of the week, I spend time on my hobbies and doing research on animal behavior, meaning I will have plenty of time for walks, playtime, cuddles, and whatever else your pet may desire. I like to set up a trial run before any official appointment just to make sure your animal is comfortable with me and vice versa! This gives a great time where your animal has a familiar person (you!) to reassure them that I (a stranger) am no threat, as well as going over care instructions, any medical concerns, and your typical routine for your pet(s).
“Amelia did an absolutely amazing job! This was my first time leaving my puppy and I was very nervous but she did great! She constantly sent pictures and updates and assured me everything was fine! She did a great job at following everything I asked of her as well! I would definitely recommend using her and you can trust that your pup is in the best of hands! I will absolutely use her in the future!!”
“Rory was fantastic! 11ish days with my temperamental chi and his 4 kitties... I will definitely be keeping her on my shortlist for future trips! Rory sent pics and videos during my trip to help ease my anxiety of being away from the babies. I can tell my brood had a good experience!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Windsor
I couldn't be happier with the care Dana provided for my kitty, Rice! Rice is a sweet but spicy little girl with a big personality, and she definitely has a mind of her own. She also has sensitive digestion, so it's especially important to have someone who understands her needs and pays attention to the little details. Having someone I can trust to stay in my home and care for Rice during extended trips is incredibly important to me. Dana provides overnight and long-term pet sitting, which allows Rice to remain in the comfort of her own home, surrounded by familiar routines and everything she loves. Dana took the time to get to know Rice, understand her personality, and make sure she felt comfortable, loved, and cared for. It's clear that Dana has a genuine connection with animals and treats them as if they were her own. Knowing Rice was in such loving and capable hands gave me tremendous peace of mind while I was away. Not only did I feel confident that Rice was receiving wonderful care, but I also appreciated knowing my home was being looked after. Dana is kind, dependable, attentive, and genuinely passionate about what she does. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for trustworthy overnight or extended-stay pet and home care. There's something truly special about being able to travel knowing your beloved pet is happy, safe, and loved right where she belongs. Rice and I are already looking forward to having Dana back for the upcoming holidays! Knowing she'll be here to care for my little girl makes being away from home so much easier.
Shannon was awesome. Just what we needed and just what our dog Finley needed. She communicated with us every day which gave us the peace to enjoy our extended weekend adventure. Plenty of photos and couldn’t even tell somebody was in our house. Except in might have been a little neater than when we left. Will definitely use her again.
I hired Tiffany for pet and house sitting for 4 nights, and I could not have been more pleased with her care and attentiveness. I knew at our initial meeting that she would be reliable. She kept me posted while I was away, and when I returned my pets were emotionally in a great place. Clearly they had been well-loved. I highly recommend Tiffany and will use her in the future.
Haley was amazing with our two babies! She kept us up to date with everything that she was doing with them and sent us pictures as well! My beagle is very anxious and gets nervous and scared easily, Haley did an awesome job making sure she was comfortable! Thank you again!

The average cost of House Sitting in Windsor is $49 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $29 and $81 per night.

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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Windsor. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
