“Amanda was absolutely the best walker we ever encountered! She was very punctual responding to our last minute request as we had a complication with our original dog sitting arrangement, she was at our house within one hr of initial response to meet our babies! She watched our 2 large dogs for 1 full week and did a wonderful job doing it! Daily pics of the dogs and summary of the days events came with her service which calmed our nerves as to how they were doing each day! I would trust Amanda 100% with our babies again no questions asked! Thank you again Amanda for accepting our request you really helped us out in a pinch! It’s really hard to find someone that’s trustworthy and responsible like yourself! Thank you again!”

“Katy seemed very sweet, trustworthy, and great with animals from the time I first met her, so I felt totally comfortable leaving my animals in her care while I was out of town! My place was clean and tidy when I got home, and I enjoyed the videos of my animals Katy sent to me while I was gone.”

“Alekx has stayed with our puppy twice now and was amazing! Very patient with puppy energy. We also came home to a pup who had been taught a few new skills and Alekx even gave our pup many hand me down toys from her own dog, some of which are our pups new favorites! Our dog hasn’t been alone yet, and Alekx was great about staying with her and even took her out to a park.”

“Alphine took such incredible care of our dog, Luna, and our cat, Dullahan! She was clearly comfortable with larger dogs and even went above and beyond to walk Luna despite our complicated requests around her leash reactivity. It was easy to communicate with Alphine throughout our trip and we felt confident our pets were in good hands because of it. Alphine also took incredible care of our home. We can’t recommend her enough!!”

About: I know how stressful it can be leaving your pet with someone new. My goal is to give you peace of mind by treating your pet like they're apart of my own family. Over the years, I've cared for and watched pets for neighbors, family and friends, everything from drop-in visits to extended stays and I genuinely enjoy giving each animal the same care I'd want for my own. I currently own two senior cats (my babies), so I'm especially comfortable with older pets who may need a little extra patience, medication, or a gentler routine. I also frequently care for my sister's dog and cat when she's traveling, so I'm experienced juggling different personalities and needs under one roof. Whether it's sticking to a feeding schedule, giving playtime and snuggles, or just making sure your pet feels safe while you're away I treat every animal like family. I have a pretty open schedule, so I'm flexible and can usually accommodate what works best for you. I'm available for: Weekday visits and walks: morning, afternoon, or evening Weekend care: both Saturday and Sunday Recurring bookings: happy to set up a regular schedule if that's what you need Last-minute requests: if something comes up, just ask Whether you need daily check-ins for your cat, a midday dog walk, or someone to stop by while you're out of town, I can likely make it work. Don't hesitate to reach out and ask about a specific time, I'm happy to figure something out! I know how hard it is to leave your pet in someone else's hands, I feel the same way about my own. That's why I treat every animal I care for as if they were my own. Safety first: I'm always alert to potential hazards, things like open doors, toxic plants, small objects that could be swallowed, or escape routes. I follow any instructions you leave to the letter, and I'll check in if anything seems off. Trust & communication: I'll send regular updates with photos so you always know how your pet is doing. Whether it's a quick text after a drop-in or a full report after a walk, you'll never be left wondering. I respect your home, your space, and your pet's routine. A calm, loving environment: I meet every animal where they are, shy cats get patience and quiet company, energetic dogs get walks and playtime, seniors get gentle care and extra comfort. My goal is to keep their day as stress-free and happy as possible, so you can relax knowing they're in good hands.

About: I've cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments over the past decade. My experience ranges from the two extra small, now senior terriers in my family home to my two young, giant German Shepherds, who weigh a combined 200 pounds. I understand the importance of patience, adaptability, and understanding each dog's individual needs. I'm an empathetic and attentive caregiver who prioritizes safety, trust, and authentic connections with every dog in my care. I want every dog to feel comfortable, secure, and loved. Pet care is an important part of my daily routine, and I make time to provide attentive, dependable care. I'm happy to work with your babies established schedule for meals, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and rest. I understand how important consistency is for animals, especially those who experience separation anxiety or feel nervous around new people. I'll communicate with you about scheduling and your pet's needs to ensure they receive thoughtful, reliable care. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for your pets. As the owner of two large German Shepherds, I understand the importance of secure handling, awareness, and respecting each dog's individual temperament. I take time to help animals feel comfortable with me and follow their owners' instructions closely. I respect your home, maintain a clean and calm environment, and never assume two pets have the same needs. I'm happy to follow feeding instructions, medication routines as directed, leash and crate preferences, and any other safety precautions you provide. Your fur babies comfort and well being will always come first.

“Lauren is our regular dog walked but she just house/dog-sat for us for the first time (5 days) and, as expected, it went amazingly well. She took good care of my pooch in my apartment. She followed all of the (very tedious/helicopter dogmom) instructions with no hesitation. I would 100% recommend her to anyone.”

About: I’ve had pets all my life. My family currently has 3 dogs and 2 cats on our farm! I’m a responsible owner who has had experience breaking up dog fights and aggression as well as pet sat many times for neighbors. I’ve been around big (energetic GSPs) and small dogs and I am good with puppies. I have experience taking care of my brothers cats for weekends at a time. I volunteer at the animal shelter weekly walking dogs and have no pets in the home currently as I will move home next year to my family’s farm! I work part time (about 36 hrs a week) at the hospital. I am soon going to lower my hours (Around December) to mainly focus on pet sitting to enjoy my gap year before PA school! I know how to make a dog comfortable and never cross their boundaries! I have experience walking dogs who are jumpy/mouthy at the shelter as well as dog reactive. At the farm, I have a senior dog who moves slow and 2 crazy GSPs who love to exercise.

This was our first time using Sheila and we knew after the first time meeting her that she was the perfect person to stay with our dog, Milo while we went on a cruise. She sent us daily pictures and I felt completely relaxed knowing that Milo was in good hands. After staying in our house for almost two weeks, we could barely tell she had been here. Everything was in perfect order when we came home. My only concern with recommending Sheila is that she won't be available the next time we need her!

ShiLi was wonderful with our two babies. We waited until the last minute to find a pet sitter for Christmas, and I was really afraid we wouldn't have luck. But ShiLi came to our rescue. Our yorkie and malshi can be nervous when we leave them. ShiLi made them feel safe, and she was a professional all around. We highly recommend ShiLi!

We are grateful to David, who, as always, was terrific with our 11 year old Border Collie and in taking care of our home. We couldn't be more satisfied with his 11 days stay while we were on the other side of the country and will invite him again when we next go out of town.

FAQs for House Sitting - Windy Hill Farm

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Windy Hill Farm is $32 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 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. 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 October 2026, there are 2,636 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Windy Hill Farm. 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 Hill Farm 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 Hill Farm 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 Windy Hill Farm 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Windy Hill Farm. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.
