“Caelyn is the best! She cared for our dog with so much love and attention! She went above and beyond to make sure everything was okay, even when our return was delayed. I very much recommend Caelyn and she will be our first choice if we ever need dog sitting again!”
“Brady doesn’t warm up to new people easily, so Amy had quite a challenge from the start. She was incredibly patient, and kept us updated with frequent pictures, which gave us peace of mind. She took Brady on several walks to help calm his nerves. I felt comfortable knowing Brady was in her care, and I’ve already booked Amy again in November. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and experienced pet sitter.”
About: I have personally grew up with dogs and find myself very passionate about care and respect for animals! My years of internships experience at a rescue center has allowed me to learn rehab skills, spread owner-responsibility awareness and tips, and have hands-on field work with all different kinds of animals, especially dogs, and cater to all their specialized needs! I additionally have fostered a couple of dogs from my local shelter! We call them staycations. This is where, as fosters, we take a dog from out of the shelter for maybe a week or so to give them some fresh air and some at-home loving! All dogs I have fostered have been happily adopted by their forever-owners! I currently work a part time job so I evidently have plenty of time on my hands to take care of your dogs! With that being said, I don’t have a set schedule that I usually work but I only work 2-3 days a week. During the week, afternoons are best for me, and weekends I have full availability if I’m not working! Please inquire to get more details about my schedule! :) I have interned at a animal care and control center so I find myself pretty well and familiar with all kinds of personalities dogs may have! I am very attentive and well follow any set instructions given for the best care of your pup!
“Dom did such a great job with my crew...even when my cat brought in a surprise rabbit! All of my animals adored her and had a great time. Communication and response time was fantastic. Will definitely rehire for future sitting needs”
About: I have worked both with puppies and older dogs and I know how important it is to spend quality time with the dogs. As someone who has a dog with anxiety and as a pet owner I know no one wants their pet or “fur-baby” to feel they’ve been abandoned when you are out of the house, which is why I prioritize taking time to just sit or play with them. I am college student with a flexible schedule, currently, most of my availability is anytime before noon during the week and anytime on the weekends! My yard has a fence and there are several playful and sweet dogs in surrounding homes. There are also parks near by allowing my dog and others the ability to run.
“Heather was wonderful. She took great care of Charlie. She went above and beyond expectations. She sent pictures and videos, took him for walks and gave him lots of love and attention. We will definitely be booking Heather for all of our dog sitting needs.”
“Hannah stayed in my home with my dog and cat while my husband and I were on vacation for a week. I have nothing but good things to say! Hannah was so sweet and took excellent care of my babies and my home! She was very communicative and sent me several updates per day. I trusted her with my babies and I could tell they were so happy and relaxed in her care! We will definitely work with her again in the future!”
About: When it comes to taking care of your pet, my aim is to provide them the same love and care they would receive from you. I have extensive pet care experience, caring for over 25 pets repeatedly over the past 10 years. My love for animals led me to pet sit and dog walk for close friends and family, and now I want to expand that care to the Greenville area! Working part time, I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to work within you and your pets needs. I am currently applying to medical school as well so most of my responsibilities can be taken care of virtually, allowing me to maximize my time with your pet. In your home, I skillfully adapt to you and your pets environment. Without the stress of taking your pet to a new environment, I respectfully provide care that fits you and your pets needs!
About: I’ve had a cat for as long as I can remember. I frequently watch my sister’s cats as needed while taking care of my own. I currently only work part-time, so I will have plenty of time to take care of your pets each week as needed for your schedule! I will be an attentive pet sitter for your pet and make sure all of their needs are taken care of and that they are enjoying themselves!
About: I had dogs of my own for a few years and loved them whole heartedly. I also watched dogs daily in one of my home health cases. I am capable of feeding, playing, walking and taking them outside regularly. If you have pets with special or silly needs, I can absolutely meet those as well! I am a college student. I will have plenty of time to play with and walk your animals in between classes and studying. Some fresh air and animal time will be a nice break for me. In my client's home, I respect any rules that they have with their pet (ie. If they are not allowed on the couch or in certain areas, food restrictions, etc.). I will make sure to be outside with them watching them, just in case. I will follow feeding schedules and make sure they always have water. I will play with them and brush them if needed.
“Morgan was amazing! She watched Monte for a long weekend and was super easy to communicate with. She sent lots of pictures and updates and Monte clearly had a great time with her. I’d definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a great sitter and I hope to book with her again in the future!”
About: I’m a dependable and caring animal lover who treats every pet like my own. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, so I focus on giving them individualized attention, plenty of love, playtime, and care. I’ll make sure your furry family member feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away, while keeping you updated for extra peace of mind. 🐾 I attend school three times per week, but I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable pet care. On my available days and around my class schedule, I can give your pets plenty of attention, playtime, care, and love while keeping their usual routine in mind. When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I make sure to follow their normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure in their familiar environment. I provide feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of love and attention while carefully following any special instructions. I also respect your home and will keep you updated so you can have peace of mind!
“I'm struggling with writing this review. I want to be fair while also giving an accurate review of how I felt this weekend when I was 5 hours away and worried. I really liked Anna when I met her, I think she is a good person, and my dog really likes her, so that is definitely positive. I've already talked to Anna about how communication could have been better when she was going to be significantly later than I expected starting out the weekend house/pet sitting due to her other job. I ended up calling another friend that night to come take care of Cassie because it was 11:30pm and I had no idea when Anna would arrive, even after texting her to ask and not getting a response. Anna was here house and pet sitting for the weekend, and it looked like she didn't spend much time with my dog. The doorbell camera gave me notifications when there was motion at the door, and it looked like she was gone most of the day only coming in for about 30 minutes in the afternoon and 30 min in the evening to let my dog out before coming back to stay at my house overnight. It might be my fault if I wasn't clear enough in my expectations, but my dog was left alone more this weekend than she ever has been, including weekends that she has been with other sitters.”
About: There’s always at least 2 dogs in my house. I’ve taken care of multiple puppies and love the outdoors! I can’t wait to meet your dog! I’m currently taking time off from work to spend time with family. I have flexible hours and I’m very punctual. I have dogs of my own so I will have to keep their schedules in mind. I have a small fenced in areas and a large back yard where I walk my own three dogs. I have multiple leashes and treats if needed.
“Courtney recently watched our elderly cat, who can be a bit difficult with new people, over the holidays. She handled him, and our home, with the utmost care. We are so grateful and will gladly book again next time!”
About: I genuinely love animals and treat every pet like royalty, even the dachshunds who judge from across the room! I’m big on play time, cuddles, walks and making sure your pet is comfortable while you’re away! I do currently work full time, but am remote 3 out of the 5 days a week making it easy to check in on your beloved pets at any time! My 7 year old lab, and 4 year old dachshund are treated not as pets, but as my children. They are literal humans if you ask me!
About: For as long as I could remember I’ve been my family’s go-to pet sitter. Anytime my Grandmother had a doctors appointment or my Aunt and Uncle left town, I would be their first choice. I love animals and caring for them, making them comfortable when their families are gone is not an easy task but easing their anxiety and keeping them comfortable is a very rewarding job. I’ve worked with rover in the past when I was in high school and it was a great experience. I am currently working part time but my schedule is relatively flexible. As far as boarding goes there is and will always be someone at the house caring for the dogs 24/7. I have a large plot of land adjacent to my house for the puppies to play in. I currently have three very friendly small dogs who love to play and make friends.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Windy Ridge
Caelyn is the best! She cared for our dog with so much love and attention! She went above and beyond to make sure everything was okay, even when our return was delayed. I very much recommend Caelyn and she will be our first choice if we ever need dog sitting again!
Kensey was awesome!!! It was our first time leaving our sweet boy and thankfully we came home to a happy and content kitty. He and Kensey adjusted well to each other and in no time she was understanding his kitty language and habits. She was very conscientious and really wanted to make sure she was keeping him to his normal routine as much as possible. He seemed very relaxed and comfortable with her. She administered his gabapentin at night with no problem. She sent us pictures and communicated very well. The house looked great when we returned. She is very sweet and it was obvious she has a love for animals and is very comfortable with them.
My 6 month old, active puppy & I love Jane! She was always on time, great communication, very respectful and an awesome person. I will be having her stay with my puppy any time I need to travel. Knowing my baby was in good hands allowed me to really relax & enjoy my vacation. Thank you, Jane!!!
We had a dog sitter booked for our pup over the weekend. Weekend arrives and dog sitter unresponsive! We scramble for help same day and out flies Kiley like a superhero in an over-produced Marvel film. Saved the day clutch, on top of being professional and friendly. Thanks again, Kiley!
Timely communication, knowledgeable and accommodating! Brooklyn saved the day caring for my terriers while I had a family engagement. I was in from out of town and she made sure that my boys were well cared for in a city where I didn’t know anyone. She let me know what was happening, was flexible and kind. I can’t recommend her more highly!
Grace watched our French bulldog Otis for a week while we were on a family vacation. She provided exceptional care of Otis and our home. She followed our directions for Otis’s schedule and went above and beyond to make sure he was happy. They became best friends by the end of the week! I would recommend Grace to anyone who wants a responsible, kind and caring dog sitter!

The average cost of House Sitting in Windy Ridge is $37 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $45 per night.

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 Ridge 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 Ridge 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 Ridge 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.
