“Laura was absolutely amazing. She was so good with Rocco, she was so accommodating and was able to work around a difficult delay in my flight as well. She was very communicative, always answered when I texted, sent me lots of photos and just took great care of my dog overall. She is extremely trustworthy and I can’t wait to have her watch Rocco again!”
About: I am a local college student with a focus on Early Childhood Education. Animals have been my safe space for as long as I can remember. I have two dogs and a bearded dragon that I consider my family. We love to go for walks and play outside in the sunshine! I am happy to assist with any of your pet needs as my schedule is very flexible! I am a full-time college student and currently only have classes on Tuesday and Thursday. Even with classes two days out of the week, my days/evenings are flexible. I have a fenced in yard and the dogs and I enjoy getting outside to sit in the sun and throw the ball. I also enjoy taking my bearded dragon outside for some natural basking. The dogs and I go for daily walks and we have our daily routine feedings. Baths are given every one to two weeks (depending on how stinky they are).
About: I am a lifelong animal lover with extensive hands-on experience caring for both traditional and exotic pets. I currently share my home with two wonderful cats and a pet snake, so I completely understand the unique daily routines, body language, and specialized care that different species require. I am deeply responsible and detail-oriented. I know how important it is to strictly follow feeding schedules, maintain clean environments, and provide the exact type of attention your pet prefers—whether that is high-energy play, patient socialization, or just peaceful company. I treat every animal with the same high level of safety and love that I give my own creatures at home. As a small business owner, I work from home and manage my own schedule. This gives me incredible daytime flexibility to provide frequent potty breaks, administer timely medications, and give your pet the dedicated attention they deserve throughout the day. As a business owner, safety and trust are my top priorities. I treat your home with total respect, closely follow your security routines, and strictly adhere to all specific pet feeding and safety instructions. I provide a calm, highly organized, and safe environment. My own experience with sensitive cats and a reptile means I am hyper-aware of keeping spaces clean, temperature-controlled, and completely hazard-free for animals. Your pet’s safety is my absolute priority. As a responsible business owner, I am detail-oriented, highly dependable, and respectful of your home. I maintain a calm, clean, and hazard-free environment, ensuring your traditional or exotic pets remain safe, comfortable, and properly cared for while you are away.
“Eva was amazing!! She not only took great care of our pets… Which included a cat that had multiple issues going on but our dogs as well. She cleaned my house spotless probably be better than before we left! She kept me closely involved in what was going on at the house with the animals and sent several great pictures. I would definitely recommend Eva and use her again.”
About: I’m young and fit and can walk dogs all day and happy to do it. I have had large dogs like golden retrievers and small dogs such as my Jack Russell. I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life. I have a two bedroom townhouse with a large living room and plenty of rooms for pets. My neighborhood has sidewalks great for walking. I have a pet proof car with a cover on the backseat. I am also on the wag application and have accomplished over 80 dog walks and have a perfect five star rating. I’m happy to go above and beyond for you and your pet. I work at a seasonal business and am in the off season now so I have extra time now for pets.
About: With my own dog and two cats at home, I am an animal lover to all pets! I find so much enjoyment in playing with animals! I have open availability most of my days so I can take care of your pet as often as needed. Whether it be a short stop in or a few hours play time and care! I have my own transportation and will give many updates about the pets as needed! Please feel free to reach out and message me regarding any jobs/questions! I am currently working part time so I have an open availability to take care of pets as often as needed whether it be a quick walk or play time. I have done dog walking for many years with my own dog and friend’s dogs. I care for animals as if they are my own so you can be stress-free in knowing your fur baby is being taken care of!
About: I’ve taken care of horses for the last 5 years and they are pretty much like big dogs lol. Your fur baby’s will be spoiled;) I’m free Monday through Friday all day, then on weekends I’m free after 11:00. Can always drop in and check on them, I always have time to clean up after your pup I can stay overnight if needed, i do drop in visit to just to check on your pup, i can walk them on a leash or play with them in the backyard.
About: What sets me apart is my deep, hands-on experience with pets who need extra care and attention. I cared for my dog Maya, who was blind and diabetic, and I was responsible for administering her insulin and making sure she stayed safe, comfortable, and happy. I also cared for my soul dog Marcello, who developed anxiety in his later years and needed patience, consistency, and a calm environment. Both of my dogs were seniors who lived long, full lives (15 and 17), so I’m very comfortable with senior care, medication routines, and recognizing subtle changes in behavior or health. I’ve also fostered multiple dogs over the years, including a puppy, so I’m familiar with different temperaments, energy levels, and basic training needs. Because I work from home, your pet will get plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day—not just quick check-ins. I’ve had animals my entire life, and while I can’t have one of my own right now, caring for others’ pets truly brings me joy. I treat every animal like family and aim to create a calm, loving, and reliable environment while you’re away. I’m currently working remotely with a great deal of flexibility! I have no set meetings or calls that would conflict with a pet care schedule and can plan accordingly to accomodate your pets needs. I am unable to take your pets to my home due to lease regulations but can come watch your animals in the comfort of your own home. I would defer yo you as the pet owner to guide me on your pets personality, likes and dislikes and get to know them to ensure top notch care!
“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter than Mona! She was on time, attentive, and professional, and she made us feel completely comfortable knowing our fur babies, Ziggy and Rooster, were in such good hands. Mona kept us updated throughout her time with them, which we really appreciated. The best part is that Ziggy and Rooster absolutely loved her! It’s such a relief to find someone who genuinely cares for our dogs, and we would highly recommend Mona to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring sitter. We will definitely be booking with her again! ❤️”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Windward Acres
I can't say enough about their care for my dog Coco. Coco responded so openly and joyfully to them that I immediately felt a sense of relief and that Coco will be well taken care of. Whenever I return to Brunswick, I will definitely use Ashley and Amber's services. I highly recommend them.
I interviewed a couple people for drop-in services for my cat, Keesa and decided to book Landry because Keesa didn't hide from her! They were comfortable with each other, and as a cat mom, that's important because it means Keesa wouldn't be stressed. Landry was good with her. She texted me every time she came in and sent pictures. I recommend Landry, and would request again if needed.
Ava was awesome! She took great care of our pets and kept us updated while we were away. She also sent some really great photos, which we loved getting. It was such a relief knowing our pets were in good hands, and we came home to happy animals. We’d definitely book with Ava again! 🐾💕

The average cost of House Sitting in Windward Acres is $33 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $29 and $33 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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 Windward Acres 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 Windward Acres 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 Windward Acres 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.
