“My Loki Bear caught a cold right before I was headed out of town. I was fortunate enough to find the Grossman’s to come and house sit with Loki. They were so nice and thoughtful and loved looking after Loki. And Loki enjoyed their company. They gave him his medicine on time and on schedule. He is feeling much better now that he got to stay home and rest up. I am definitely going to be using them to watch Loki again and again.”
“Can’t thank Julie enough for taking care of our household full of pets! Our dogs can be a bit high maintenance (and crazy) but she showed no intimidation at all! She kept me posted throughout the week with cute photos and little updates about how they were behaving. We had never left our dogs with a sitter they didn’t know before, but she took care of them like they were her own. My mind was totally at ease. It’s not easy to take care of two dogs and two cats all by yourself for a few days, but she handled it like a champ. Julie even left my house cleaner than when I left it, I was impressed! Highly recommend her. Thank you Julie!”
“Lauren has watched River several times and she’s the best: quick to respond, so kind and caring with my pup and always reliable. I can’t say enough good stuff!!”
“Natalie was awesome! She was auper communicative with us while we were away. Keeping us updated on our Driggsy while we were away. Was very respectful of our home and she tooke great care of our big girl!”
About: I have 3 cats of my own; Thumper, Cow, and Muffin. I have one dog named Oso, as well. One bearded dragon named Avery and two goldfish, Olivia and Elliot. I currently work a part time job until about 3pm, Monday through Thursday. Friday though Sunday I am available anytime to come visit your babies or stop in and care for. I can come play, feed, walk, or just visit and love your fur babies anytime after 3pm during the week and anytime on weekends! I will follow your directions carefully and exactly as you instruct me to care for your animal. I very much want them and you and myself to be comfortable and happy.
“Addison did a great job. When we got home from our trip Nala & Heidi seemed very happy and tail wagging dogs. Thank you for keeping our dogs happy and comfortable while we were away”
“Susan took great care of Sullivan while out of town for one night. She successfully administered his medication, gave him lots of cuddles & outside time & provided pictures as well as updates. She was also very willing to help out with a last-minute request. We definitely plan to use Susan again in the future!”
“Emmeline a was very flexible with scheduling and I was pleased to see how much she enjoyed my dogs. They all have their quirks and she was very cool with their personalities. I got lots of updates and photos, but best of all if anything weird happened in the house (like a gate breaking outside or packages arriving) she was quick to communicate and try to make things work. Thank you so much Emmeline!”
“We were very thrilled with the Care that Makayla provided to our three large bozo dogs. When we came home, all dogs were fine, mail on the counter, space was clean, and we immediately made her another offer for another opportunity! And one of our dogs is not as easy going, and chewed herself out of the kennel again, but Makayla was able to manage her benignly!”
“This is our 2nd time booking with ZaNayah and once again She's been such a pleasure to have around and the love and care she gives to our kiddos is amazing. Such great energy, we totally recommend ZaNayah you will not be disappointed. Will definitely book with her again!!!”
“Jeanette was so good with our dogs!! She left our house spotless and even washed the sheets she used. She was amazing at keeping us updated and sent us cute pictures of our girls. I would definitely recommend having Jeanette (Donna) keep your pups company while out of town.”
“We are so incredibly grateful to have found Kira (and Jake) to stay with our two Great Danes while we were away for the weekend. Our boys are VERY spoiled, and not used to being alone, so it was so reassuring to know they were getting all of the love and attention from Kira and Jake. In addition to coming home to two happy and well cared for pups, we found our home spotless and in perfect shape. If there was an option for a sixth star, it would be added to this review. Thank you Kira and Jake so much for your incredible care of our boys!”
About: I have taken care of animals since i was a child! I personally had 4+ dogs/cats at a time growing up since I was 5 years old and even now! As a stay-at-home mom, I’m home the majority of the day and night, which allows me to give consistent attention and supervision. I only step out briefly for school drop-off/pick-up or short errands, typically no more than a few hours total. Your dog will not be left alone for long stretches and will be treated like part of our daily routine, with regular potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of interaction throughout the day. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. We live on 2 fully fenced acres, providing plenty of secure space to run and explore while always supervised. When indoors, pets are part of our family environment — relaxing, playing, or cuddling in a calm and clean home. I carefully follow each dog’s routine, feeding schedule, and any special instructions to ensure they feel safe and at ease. My goal is to create a structured but loving environment where your pup feels right at home.
About: I am very young and have been a competitive dancer since the age of 3 and i go to college now in Los Angeles for dance and walking dogs, hiking, being active is my favorite thing to do and id do all of those things with an animal before a person lol. I promise you are in the best hands when your animal is with me. I am home from school for break and have so much free time on my hands! I could walk or watch your dog for as long as you need and more! I will have them with me at all times and make sure they are never out of sight. I have their entire schedule on my phone so that nothing is forgotten and of course i give them all my love.
“Jos is great! Very knowledgeable and makes sure your pet gets the best experience while you are gone. She took our dog out on excursions (with permission) and kept us updated every day we were gone. Highly recommend!”
About: I have a husky who is my child. I love to play with him in the yard and take him to the dog park. I have always gotten along great with animals. They have always been first in my life because they put such a big smile on my face. I have always enjoyed pet sitting because I know how much they miss their owners. I just hope I can be the next best thing and make their stay-cation as stressful and as fun as possible.When the owner leaves dogs don't know if you are coming back or not . I think pet-sitting is such a wonderful idea for them to have. I am currently not working have a lot of free time on my plate so I am very flexible with scheduling. I will work with what’s best for the client. I do have a husky who is very friendly . I am very flexible to the situation. I am open to all services that the client needs.

Cassie was so wonderful with our dog Piper!! I was so grateful to have her with us this past week, I don’t know what I would have done without her. She took great care of Piper, walked her, played with her, cuddled up with her and gave her all the love. So grateful to have met Cassie!
We recently moved to Summerville and one of our first tasks was to find a dog sitter but everywhere I looked, I didn’t feel confident or comfortable- my gut never lies. Finally ran across Rover and Julie’s profile and immediately had this ease of comfort just based on her profile and reviews. We did two meet’n’ greets and our first overnight with her and we couldn’t be happier with Julie! She’s so professional, respectful and carries an overall gentle demeanor that is so welcoming! Our fur baby took to her so well and I highly recommend Julie!! But we also want her all to ourselves 😂 thank you, Julie, for having such a compassionate heart for animals! You are the very best!!
Rhonie was amazing!! She keeps you updated throughout her visits and makes sure my pups were well loved. One of our pups got out her crate accidentally and without hesitation Rhonie went back over there to put her back in! I would recommend Rhonie to anyone I know and would use her again!
Julie house sat for us this past weekend for the first time. Everything was perfect and seamless, starting from the interview process, booking and the entire stay. Julie gave immediate responses and was direct in communication which I appreciate so much. I’m a bit anxious when away from my fur kids and immediately felt at ease with the first update. All the pictures and I knew she got to know each of their personalities and quirks on the first night. Highly recommend Julie for the anxious dog mama like myself! 10/10 will rebook.

The average cost of House Sitting in Windwood is $42 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $97 per night.

As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 Windwood 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 Windwood 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 Windwood 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
