“Rachel provided care for our two dogs in our home for 3 days and 2 nights. She went above and beyond to befriend and bond with our shy pups. Rachel was a considerate and responsible houseguest as well. We highly recommend her and will definitely ask for her the next time we need a sitter for our dogs. -Nancy V”
“Daniel was amazing! We have a newly adopted puppy and had to leave town for a night shortly after adopting him. Daniel gave us peace of mind while we were away and took great care of our crazy pup!”
“Jordana did a fantastic job with all of my pets. She went above and beyond to make sure she knew their needs. I have two older pets with medical issues and a crazy puppy; she managed them all like a super star.”
“We really appreciate everything that Allison does for our Louie! She’s very punctual and arrives when she says she will and she does a wonderful job of staying in contact with us and filing us in on how things are going. We really appreciate the photos she sends us as well. She brings her own bedding and food and always leaves our home in great shape. We are always confident that our doggie will receive kind and loving care. We highly recommend Allison! 5 Stars!!”
“Jessica was great! We were out of town 4 nights, and then our flight got delayed and she was able to adjust her schedule to stay a 5th night to take care of our dog. She sent photos and updates at least twice a day and I felt better knowing I had someone here at our house to care for our dog (instead of boarding him). Our dog has some anxiety and allergy issues and she took care of all his meds and gave him lots of love and cuddles. She also washed all the bedding, towels and took the trash out (which she didn't need to do but did it anyhow). Highly recommend! Thanks again, Jessica.”
“Nadine watched Bodhi for me while we were out of state, she was amazing! I got daily updates and pictures and was not worried about him at all while we were gone. She took such great care of him!”
“Lori was excellent to work with! During the meet and greet she was very patient with our dogs, and with us, as we covered the things we thought she needed to know while our dogs warmed up to a new person in the house. By the end of the meet and greet, all three dogs were wagging tails and happy! Lori arrived a little early the day we left and departed right on time the day we returned which told us she follows the times indicated on request, not her own schedule. She sent pictures of our fur babies throughout our absence which made us smile! Lori was very respectful and professional and we would love to have her watch our pups again!”
“This was our first experience with Rover. Jenna kept us updated with sending us pictures of Sophie, and was quick to respond to our messages. She also left the house picked up, with the garbage taken out, and the bed sheets in the wash!”
“Zaira was wonderful with my pups! She stopped by earlier in the day to meet the pups and get the lay of the land and I really appreciated that. She was very professional and courteous and cared for my pups in a very loving way. Making them relaxed and comfortable. Zaira has great communication skills and kept my piece of mind with pictures and kept me informed while I was away. I would re-book with her without hesitation.”
About: Ive dog sit for friends and family at their home. Taking care of them in their own personal environment. Clients home care would to be following their rules/routines for their pet. Rather that be a walk or playing with their toys, feeding schedule..etc. ive sat older dogs, younger dogs and even taken a blind pup out for a day from the shelter! I work a full time job but i am able to leave once or twice during my shift to take care of the animals in your home! I will stop by and let them outside and play with them for a bit during my shift. I would stop by before my shift and immediately after, i always make sure they have enough time to play and go to the bathroom before i leave. I have dogs at home that arent dog friendly so i do have experience with reactive dogs! I cant keep other pets in my own home while you are not home but i am more than happy to hangout at your home and care for them!
“Monica was great. Very professional, communicated well, and took great care of the house and our dog. Will definitely be on my list for future sitter or dog walker needs.”
“Yasmin is amazing! We are from out of town and needed care for our two dogs while we attended a family wedding. Yasmin patiently stayed for 8 hours at our rental walking, feeding, playing, and babying our fur babies. Our Sr. Lab has a multitude of phobias and can be challenging but Yasmin was patient and kind. All while dealing with our 1 year old Mini Aussi. I can’t wait to visit again and have her back. She is a life saver!”
“Meghan was amazing with our boy. Followed instructions very well and made our baby so happy! Worked with us on a missed connecting flight, I appreciate her so much! Will be booking again next time we travel!”
“Katherine did a great job watching all of our animals. She was able to handle multiple days and nights with multiple pets and could handle complex instructions and gave them the best care. Would definately use again”
“Christina did a fantastic job watching the house and dogs! The dogs were well taken care of, all the instructions were followed, and she was very conscientious with respect to watching the house. Highly recommend!”
“Abby was fabulous! Our pup was well cared for and we had updates and pictures through our time away. I was thrilled with the amount of time she spent with her so she was not alone in the house much... we recently lost her sister and she's still adjusting. I can't say enough about the great care. Thank you Abby!”
“Claire was amazing with our two (somewhat high-maintenance) French Bulldogs, one of which is still a puppy. She cared for them and our home and sent us several updates and pictures each day. We’ll definitely be having her dog sit again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Windsor Heights
Rachel and Leigh are truly a gift to me and my pets. I was able to take the longest vacation I ever have, and was completely stress-free, knowing that they were in such great hands. Excellent, consistent communication, and tons of photos. They understand the quirky personalities of my cat and dog and are always attentive to meeting their specific needs.
Words cannot express the appreciation I have for Eric. I have high needs animals, and I am pretty sensitive about the way they are worked with. Eric took the time to come and make sure my dogs were comfortable with him and that I was comfortable. He recommended setting up a google drive file for he and I to communicate as the days approached. I will continue to use him as I need support and I would recommend him to anyone!
Sophia was wonderful! She understood our older dog and took wonderful care of her and the house. She even placed her used towel in our laundry area which was such a thoughtful move. Couldn’t be happier with care Sophia took or our little dog and house. Will welcome her back again!
Amethyst was a huge help for us - stepping up when our other sitter had to cancel on short notice. She took great care of the pups while we were gone. We got several updates throughout the day, along with several pictures of the kiddos. We will definitely keep her in mind for the next time!

FAQs for House Sitting - Windsor Heights
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Windsor Heights 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 641 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Windsor Heights. 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 Heights 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 Heights 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 Heights 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.

- 94% 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.
