“Danielle is simply the best! She took amazing care of our dogs, Charlie and Macy. The initial meet and greet was a great way to start, and we loved the regular photo updates while we were away. We came home to happy, relaxed dogs and a spotless home. We highly recommend Danielle and will definitely be booking her again!”

About: I have been taking care of animals since I was a little girl. I am currently a full-time student at Appalachian State University studying Veterinary Technology. I am going to be entering my third year in the fall. I am looking to spend time with fur babies while I am completing school! I am currently a full-time student studying veterinary technology to become a licensed veterinary technician. My schedule is generally very flexible; on occasion I will have some classes where we meet online. I treat all animals as if they are my own. My animals are my children, and I will take care of yours the same way. I will have to say taking care of animals of all kinds is a true passion of mine. Which is why I have chosen this path for my career! I may have started a little later in life but better late than never I always say!

About: What sets me apart from other dog sitters is the healing touch that I bring to all animals that I care for. I am a Reiki Master (energy healing) with many years of experience with shelter and sanctuary animals. I will take the time to learn and connect to each beautiful animal to learn what makes them feel comfortable, happy, and secure. I believe pet parents deserve peace of mind while they're away, so I focus on dependable care, clear communication, and making sure every animal feels safe, loved, and well cared for. I am currently on summer break from college. When I am not doing healing sessions on people, I have a lot of time on my hands and would love the opportunity to take care of your fur-babies. I can care for your fur-babies in your home. I am also an active person and would love to walk your dog on their favorite trail. My care will be tailored to your fur-babies individual needs. I also have experience with farm animals. I love chickens! They each have their own personality, and I have even broken up a rooster fight. I love to care for all animals.

“I was kind of in between a rock and a hard place.. I had to go out of town in a week, and didn’t want to leave my dog in a kennel again.. he has special needs and kennels have too many dogs to pay special attention to him so I tried Rover... My request for assistance was accepted right away. I was always able to reach the sitters and they sent me updates and statuses ... definitely recommend Cheyannes assistance if you need a sitter”

“We couldn’t be happier with our pet sitter! She was incredibly attentive, caring, and sweet with all of our pets. From the beginning, she made us feel completely comfortable knowing that our animals were in such loving and capable hands. Charlie was our biggest concern because she can be a little sensitive and needs extra patience and attention, but our sitter went above and beyond to make sure she felt safe, comfortable, and loved. She took the time to understand Charlie’s personality and needs, gave her so much care and affection, and kept us updated, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She was also wonderful with our cats, making sure they were cared for, comfortable, and getting the attention they needed. It was clear that she truly loves animals and treats them like family. She was reliable, thoughtful, communicative, and genuinely kind. We are so grateful for the care she gave Charlie, our cats, and our home. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate to care for their pets!”

About: I’m someone who has been caring for animals my entire life, and I truly believe pets deserve the same love, attention, and patience they receive from their own families. I’ve cared for dogs, farm animals, and other pets for friends and family throughout the years, including caring for animals while their owners are away. I’m attentive to the little things—your pet’s routines, personalities, quirks, comfort, and the things that make them feel safe and happy. When you’re away, I want you to have peace of mind knowing your pets aren’t simply being “watched”—they’re being genuinely cared for. I’m happy to provide plenty of attention, playtime, walks, companionship, feeding, and whatever your pets need to stay comfortable in their normal routine. I also understand that leaving your home and your animals in someone else’s care requires trust. I take that responsibility seriously. My goal is for you to come home to happy, well-loved pets and a home that has been treated with the same care and respect I would want for my own. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, elderly, spoiled, goofy, or somewhere in between, I’m happy to meet them where they are and give them the individual attention they deserve. ❤️ I currently have a very flexible schedule and full availability, which allows me to give the pets in my care my full attention. I’m able to accommodate extended stays, overnight care, walks, playtime, and their individual routines. I’m happy to work around your pet’s needs and schedule rather than rushing them around my own. I take caring for someone’s pets and home very seriously. I’m attentive to their routines, personalities, comfort, and safety, and I make sure they receive plenty of companionship, exercise, playtime, and affection. I’m also respectful of your home and will care for it as if it were my own. My goal is for you to feel completely comfortable and confident while you’re away, knowing your pets are safe, happy, and genuinely cared for.

About: I have prior experience in taking care of all different types of animals for many years. I have had puppies, kittens, rabbits, hamsters, smaller lizards, small and large animals, along with elderly dogs and cats.

I currently have open availability for whatever need may arise or for anything you may need I would care for your babies as I would for mine with all the love and attention they could possibly want. They would either be in a fenced in yard or on a leash for outside time and monitored while they are inside with plenty of snuggles and attention.

About: Over the years, I've taken care of a few different animals. I've watched chickens, horses, dogs, and cats for my grandparents while they were away. I've also had experience with dogs with disabilities. I have two German Shepherds; one is blind, and the other has joint issues. My love for my pets is infinite, and I promise I'll share that love with your pets. My future pursuit is to study veterinary medicine. I work at an animal hospital from 8am to 5:30pm. My weekends annd evenings after work are free giving me an opportunity to spend all day with your fur babies. Your pet safety is a priority. In no way will I put your pet in any danger, I’ll do as you instruct, I’ll follow your food guidelines, medicine, etc. as for your home I do not plan on doing anything other than what you tell me to do, I won’t go in places I’m not allowed and if I make a mess somewhere I’ll immediately clean it up. In conclusion I will treat your home like it’s my own and I will most definitely love your dog and care for them the way I love and care for mine.

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have cared for four dogs of different ages, breeds, and sizes. I currently have an 8-year-old mutt named Tucker who is incredibly sweet. Tucker previously went through heartworm treatment, so I have experience following medication schedules and giving medication as directed. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playing, basic grooming, and giving pets plenty of attention. I’ve also owned and cared for parrots, iguanas, lizards, hamsters, and many other animals. I genuinely love animals and will treat every pet like one of my own. I’m currently in college and only have about three hours of class on Tuesdays and Thursdays, so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of free time to give your pets the attention they deserve. I’m available throughout most of the week for walks, drop-ins, playtime, feeding, and spending quality time with your pets. My apartment is very pet-friendly and comfortable, with plenty of places for dogs to relax. I even have a couch specifically for dogs, along with a dog bed and other cozy spots throughout the apartment. I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and at home while they’re with me, and I’m happy to follow any routines or special instructions you provide.

About: Hi! I’ve been pet sitting for about 5 years, starting with walking neighborhood dogs and growing into house sitting and boarding. I’ve also had dogs my whole life, so caring for them comes naturally to me. I’m experienced with different sizes, personalities, and energy levels, and I always make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or sticking to their routine, I treat every pet like my own and give them plenty of attention and care! I’m a college student with mostly online coursework, so I have a flexible schedule and am home often. I also care for my two fur babies daily, so pet care is already a big part of my routine! I’m available most days, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a clean, calm, and loving environment where pets can feel at home. I have two friendly dogs of my own and always make sure introductions are done safely and at a pace that’s comfortable for everyone. Since I don’t have a fenced yard, I keep dogs active and engaged with regular walks around my neighborhood and supervised time outside. I always follow your instructions closely, stick to your pet’s routine, and provide updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away!

FAQs for House Sitting - Windy Gap

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 336 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Windy Gap. 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 Windy Gap 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 Windy Gap 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 Windy Gap 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 Windy Gap. On Rover:

  • 97% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.
