“Chris was awesome. Very responsive and very kind to the puppies! He did everything just as he said he would and I would definitely recommend him to a friend.”
“Sophie took great care of our animals and home. She is very responsive, provides detailed updates and our animals looked like they had a great time with her. We will absolutely be booking Sophie again, she was a delight to work with.”
“Haley is AMAZING. She just stayed at our place and watched our 6 month old pup for a week while we were gone on vacation. Our puppy is super active and Haley was phenomenal with her. She communicated so well with us, gave us updates and kept Maisie on her routine. When we got home, Maisie was so happy and we could tell she was loved while we were gone. We will definitely use Haley again and recommend you hire her too!”
“Aiden was amazing at taking care of our babies while we were away for a wedding. She was great at giving us updates and left our apartment in immaculate condition. We could tell our pets were well loved and give the best treatment. Would recommend Aiden 10/10 times.”
“Kayla did a wonderful job taking care of our dog and our home while we were away. She was very responsive to my inquiries both before our booking and while we were away. We will definitely contact her for future needs.”

“Jessica was lovely to work with. She sent pictures of our dogs to me every day that we were away. She also cared for our chickens. She was respectful of our home and communicated what times she would be there. Will use again in the future!”
“Shea is a very nice respectful and polite girl. Her communication is always timely. She was punctual with her arrival time, allowing us to leave a few minutes earlier than planned for our trip. She wasn’t afraid to send a text later in the evening when our dog was having trouble settling down. She sent a couple updates and photos during her stay with our dog and everything went well. We will definitely keep her in the rotation for when we need care for our dog!”
“Ayana was professional, accommodating, and did amazing with our two (anxious) dogs! Our house was left clean and tidy and our dogs were very well cared for. Will absolutely recommend and book again!”
“Once again Carol helped us out with Cody and we couldn’t be happier! She is even sharing a few resources to help Cody with her separation anxiety. Carol goes above and beyond!”
“Sarah is amazing! My dogs are both anxious weirdos and my elderly cat is on two different medications, and Sarah was great with all of them. She’s very professional, a great communicator, and left the house super clean. Definitely recommend her!”
“Tashani was literally the best -- she was super communicative and sent through daily updates about Libby & Cinder! We got back from a week-long trip to a clean house, happy animals, and a flourishing garden. We'll definitely work with Tashani for future trips!!”
About: I've taken care of every kind of animal. Dogs, cats, chickens, hamsters. I've also administered medication of many kinds and I am certified in Domestic cat + dog first Aid and CPR. All animals deserve love and care no matter how big or small! I am currently working part-time during the weekdays and on weekends in the late evening. My weekend available will change to be fully available after October. Either way, your pets are my first priority! Not all of my animals get along- I have an intricate schedule of alternating my cats and dog to make sure there are no fights or stressing factors. But there is always playtime for all the animals!
About: Hey, I’m Anthony—18 years old with 11 years of hands-on pet care experience. I’ve lived with over 40 animals, fostered 6, and grew up in a family that was big on training, so structure, patience, and consistency have always been part of how I care for pets.” It sounds perfect i could make a schedule around the client and would be able to clear up my schedule as long as i have the ability to I would keep the client updated at all times. To the absolute best with proper love care and kindness fed water keep them active and put my attention towards them more so that’s it be diverted anywhere else the animal is the most important as well as what the client requests is to the most important above all
About: As a person whose significant other is terribly allergic to dogs it breaks my heart that I can't have one for my own. But that makes me the perfect "Doggy Auntie". The amount of friends and family that ask me to take care of their dogs while they are away is more than I can count of both hands. I love going for walks and hikes and having a dog with me is the best way to do it. I have a very set schedule but my job is very dog friendly so bringing them into the office with me is very easy, plus they get more snuggles from my coworkers. I understand that your pet is your family and they deserve to be treated as such. I want you to be able to enjoy vacation or your work day without having to worry about your family back home. I know every house hold is different so I'd rather have too much information than not enough information in regards to how you would like your pet's routine maintained.
“Molly did a great job watching Maggie and Gracie and was flexible when our flight got delayed due to weather. Would recommend Molly for overnights. She is gentle with dogs and they get to know her they are looking for pets constantly!”
“Iryna was excellent with my dog Bailey. She kept me up to date throughout her stay and sent pictures and updates frequently. Bailey was recently diagnosed with seizures and I was very comfortable leaving him in her care. Bailey was happy and content and I will definitely use her again in the future. I would highly recommend her. Christine”
About: I’ve taken care of various animals since I was young. Friends and family depended on me to feed, walk, and take care of their pets. I know the importance of pet care and how to have close and fun relationships with all animals, especially cats and dogs! I’m an animal lover at heart and grew up surrounded by dogs, cats, and various farm animals. I am extremely patient with animals and making sure they are taken care of, nurtured, and treated well are my top priorities as well as having fun with them! Pet care fits into my daily routine very easily! I currently take care of two cats at home and have grown up around animals so I am comfortable around them ! I am fairly available and my schedule is the following: Monday: 9 am - 10/11 pm Tuesday : 9 am - 10/11 pm Wednesday: 9 am - 10/11 pm Thursday: 9 am - 10/11 pm Friday : 9 am - 10/11 pm Saturday: 9 am - 10/11 pm Sunday : 9 am - 10/11 pm I live in a very safe area where there are many parks and fields of land surrounding it making it a prime location to have animals. I have no problem walking great distances and being patient with animals especially dogs when it comes to bathroom time. I always have a great time with very lovable, friendly, and energetic dogs and cats and enjoy spending time with them and making sure they are happy and having fun! I can always give them treats, play with them and encourage them to play with their toys, and stay with them for as long as needed! Moreover bonding with them is a process that is individual to every animal, it is not something I can rush and I will take the time to get to know every pet. If anything were to happen during my time with them I will always be available to connect with!

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 Locks 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 Locks 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Locks 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.
