“Carol and Jim came to meet Bora and me before actually sitting for Bora. That made me feel so much more comfortable knowing they cared enough to let Bora know them but for me too! Jim was very excited to help. He arrived on time. He sent pictures and updates. We will definitely be asking them to sit for us always!”
“Abriana agreed to watch our dogs super last minute when another sitter cancelled on us. The day I reached out, she came to meet them, and stayed in our house the following day. She saved our trip! My dogs loved her and the house looked better than we left it. Would highly recommend her! Will definitely be reaching out again when we need someone to watch our dogs.”
“Yet again, Lauren took great care of my pup: I had to be gone an extended time : almost of a full month, and Lauren did everything I asked, took care of my house and gave River all the love and attention. So grateful💚”
“We are so happy with the experience we had with Jennifer. She came to our home to meet with us and our Boxer Kash before we booked. She treated Kash and our home with loving care! She communicates frequently and sent us lots of pictures. She updated us and checked in when our dog had not eaten one day which is typical for him when his stomach acts up. She did all his favorite things; walks, sunning, play time, cuddles and belly rubs. All while being a great house guest! Highly recommend!!”

Thank you so much Emmeline!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Windwood
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.

FAQs for House Sitting - Windwood
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Windwood is $42 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $100 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 1,590 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Windwood. 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 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 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 Windwood. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
