“Jennifer was amazing with our pups! She sent pictures throughout the weekend and they got plenty of outdoors time each day. She was very thorough and communication was clear from the very start of the meet and greet. Thank you so much Jennifer!”

“We had River care for our senior Labrador while we were away for the weekend. She was great to work with -- conscientious in her preparations, very communicative throughout the stay giving us updates multiple times each day . She was able to accomodate all of our dog's idiosyncracies. At the end of the weekend everyone was happy! Will definitely work with River again.”

“Amanda helped me out last minute when I got stuck at work for two days in the blizzard. When my dogs met her they took to her right away. I felt comfortable knowing they were in good hands. Amanda kept me updated throughout the stay w texts and pictures. 10/10 would need use her again.”

“Rachel was great! Professional, punctual, great communication, and most importantly, great with Frappe. Even my neighbor commented that she was great from what he observed. She’s the first person I’m going to next time I did someone!”

About: I'm a pet-loving mother of four with three children in college—and enjoying the wonderful pets I have met through this site. I have lived in Scotch Plains for almost 15 years. I watch several dogs regularly on a private basis and am excited to be part of the Rover community. I grew up with a beloved menagerie that included three cats, two beloved dachshunds and a poodle and have enjoyed watching a variety of dogs, including a bulldog, a French bulldog, a Bernese, a labradoodle, and, of course, mixed breeds. I love walking and daily yoga and look forward to helping your pets get the fresh air, activity and affection they need when you are working or otherwise busy. I am a freelance writer with a flexible schedule and have time for walks and visits before or after work and at lunchtime. Having raised a family, I know how important it is to have a pet sitter who is mature and reliable and understands how deeply you love your pets--and am honored to assist you in keeping them happy and healthy. While I would love to help every pet, I am petite, so my ideal sized pets are under 50 pounds. I am a freelance writer with a flexible schedule and my own car. I rise early every day, and I am often available on weekends. I am often available at lunch time to clients who need their dogs walked mid day. I am a mature, reliable and organized mother of four and will treat your beloved and adorable pet like a member of my own family.

About: I have always been around dogs and have had dogs of my own. I currently have 2 dogs, a bishon havanesse and a pitbull. They are fun, silly and definitely worth the chaos. I will take care of your babies like they were my own. This is currently the only thing im doing. I love to hang out with dogs, see their individual personalities and get to play with them. I have a fenced in yard and will make sure to keep my dogs in a separate part of the house if your dog isnt comfortable around other dogs. Any dogs comfort and safety is my main concern. I will take care of your dog like if they were my own.

“I can’t say enough good things about Shannon. I came to her with a little bit of an odd request—more like an evening of babysitting our pup than a traditional dog sit. Happy is 5 months old and full of energy. And also still learning how to behave in someone else’s house. We were staying with our daughter and her family so we could attend a family wedding in a different city than where we live. I looked on Rover and found this woman with years of experience as a certified dog sitter, who seemed very knowledgeable and friendly. I thought she would not be overwhelmed by a 5-month-old golden retriever pup. So I reached out to Shannon long distance and she was right there with all the good questions and suggestions about how to make my plan work. We chatted for about an hour to make sure we both felt comfortable and then I booked the appointment. Shannon even came to my daughter’s house the day before the wedding just to meet Happy and give me a chance to share any additional details. Then on the day of the wedding, she came right on time and gracefully managed our pup (walks, potty breaks, dinner, playing with our very young grandkids , settling for the night), which enabled our son-in-law to manage our two grandchildren without any additional complications. Her skill and kindness with Happy made the whole evening stress-free for all of us. It was a dream dog sit. When it came time for Shannon to leave, Happy just walked over and sat down right at her heels and nuzzled her hand. Thank you Shannon!”

“I couldn’t be happier with the care our dog received from Brittiany. She was kind, reliable, and resposible. She sent frequent updates and asked questions, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. The house was left spotless, and our dog seemed relaxed, happy, and extremely well-cared-for when we returned. It’s such a relief to know we have someone we can fully trust with both our home and Maia. We will absolutely be booking again!”

About: We absolutely love pets and animals in general. Our service is personalized & exclusive for every pup as we only accept 1 client at a time and don’t have pets of our own nor children currently. We’ve cared for our own pets previously as well as our friends & family’s, including feeding, walks, playtime, vet visits, cuddling, providing love & affection etc. We have experienced applying insulin to diabetic dogs as we had a diabetic yorkie, Luna, in our family whom we lost at 9 years old due to the condition. We sadly also lost our beloved cockapoo Pilar of 11 years to lymphoma however spared no vet & hospitalization cost during that time. We find it fulfilling spending quality time with pets. We also speak Spanish / se habla Español. I work a hybrid schedule with flexible work conditions, my schedule is updated on the Rover app. If any needed week day(s) appears unavailable, please reach out to us either way for possible accommodation. I’m free on weekends therefore have additional time. My wife Katherine works at the school district during school hours Monday to Friday and is free on weekends as well. We live in a townhouse complex, our home has 2015 square feet therefore plenty of room for your pets to play and lounge. The complex has endless green areas for walks, the streets are not opened to public traffic as we have gated private security therefore very safe for pets. We live in a very pet friendly community.
About: Hi, I’m Danielle! I’ve been the proud owner of a chocolate cockapoo, Hershey, for 11+ years now. Although I’m very familiar with mixed breeds as a result of owning one myself, I adore dogs of all breeds and sizes. I can’t wait to meet and play with your dog soon! I’m currently working at home with a flexible schedule. I’ve always been a dog-lover and hope to integrate more dog walking and pet sitting into my weekly routine. I’m very familiar with all sorts of pet care, from dog walking to pet sitting. I frequently take my own dog on long walks/hikes, to vet/grooming visits, and more!
“Brittany came through for us and Kodi by housesitting with him for Thanksgiving. She treated our home as her own and Kodi loved every minute of time with her. He was so much more comfortable being in his own house. We absolutely will continue to book with Brittany. She's awesome!”

About: Growing up with many pets, I always enjoyed spending time with and caring for my furry family members. While in college and into present day, I continued to work with animals through dog walking as well as pet and house sitting. Past clients, friends, and neighbors rely on me to care for and spoil their furry family members while away from home on trips or simply for a quick gaunt to the park. In the past, I worked with cats, dogs, and other mammals, but I am more than happy to learn how to care for other pets, such as amphibians, birds, and reptiles. I have a flexible job full time job. I am available most days of the week except Thursday to relocate for pet and house sitting. I’m flexible to swing by to check on your pet or take for a walk throughout the day if overnights are of less interest. I am available throughout the day for quick let outs and check-ins with your pets. I can easily crate your dog in my apartment while boarding them. I also live 5 minutes from a great dog parks for your pup to get socialization. For cats and other furry friends, there is plenty of room for them to roam and play. FYI: I do have one cat, named Sedona. She is very chill around other pets and does her own thing.
“Travian took great care of our dog and cat while we were away for the weekend. It was clear they both got a lot of attention and he also left the house spotless. Would definitely ask Travian to housesit again!”

“Taylor was great from start to finish. She was super responsive and took great care of our anxious pup while we were away. She stayed at our house throughout since our dog does not do well with other dogs. She updated us throughout her stay with her and was very flexible and accommodating when our travel plans changed last minute. Highly recommend Taylor!”

The median cost per night for house sitting in Winfield is $60

Christina took such wonderful care of my two pups! She gave updates on how they were doing through video and pictures, which made me feel very comfortable! Anytime I saw them, they were wagging their tails, so I know they were very comfortable with Christina. She’s very reliable and was always at my house promptly when she said she would be. She truly went beyond what I expected, and she also kept my house so clean, I felt very comfortable leaving my pups with her, as well as leaving my home with her. I highly recommend Christina. She’s absolutely so sweet and she’s wonderful with the dogs

Talia was absolutely wonderful with Tommy! He was recovering from surgery, so I was especially nervous about leaving him, but she made me feel completely comfortable and reassured. She was patient, attentive, responsible, and followed all of his care instructions carefully. She kept me updated and treated Tommy with so much love and kindness. I could tell he felt safe and comfortable with her. I’m very grateful and would absolutely book with Talia again. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring for their pet!

Emma is an incredible and I can’t recommend her highly enough! She is responsive, responsible and genuinely loves animals (and they love her!). I will hire her again without reservation and have recommended her to several friends. She will absolutely treat your pet like it’s her own, and I had such peace of mind leaving my sweet girl in Emma’s care.

Sofia was the BEST! Our pups loved spending time with her while we were away! We recieved daily updates and photos which brought us peace of mind! She took care of our home as well...she treated it as if it was her own! We feel very lucky to have gotten to know her, and we will for sure want her to sit for our dogs again!

Sara was fantastic! We’ve never left our boy with someone other than family before so we were very anxious, but Sara quickly put our concerns to rest. She was extremely communicative and sent us a bunch of pics every day. I’m so glad we found her and will happily use her again in the future!!

Sandra was absolutely amazing with our 3 dogs and our home while we were away. Our pups all have unique personalities - she handled them all with ease and they all seemed very comfortable with her the moment she walked through the door. She updated us thoroughly during her stay and sent many pictures which was extremely appreciated. We will absolutely use her again!

Amanda helped me out last minute when I got stuck at work for two days in the blizzard. When my dogs met her they took to her right away. I felt comfortable knowing they were in good hands. Amanda kept me updated throughout the stay w texts and pictures. 10/10 would need use her again.

Emma has been an amazing pet sitter for our puppy. From the very beginning, she’s shown so much care, patience, and reliability. Our puppy is always so excited to see her, which says everything about the bond they’ve built. Our puppy is happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for with Emma, giving us total peace of mind. Emma does a great job following instructions, keeping us updated, and truly treating our puppy like her own. We’re incredibly grateful for everything she does and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter.

if I can leave 10 stars I would! Talk about a consistent amount of changes to our schedule we had to go through due to one of our fur babies getting sick post spay and Marlee was wonderful for every step of the way! flexible and understanding. We can’t thank her enough for her compassion and care for our cats and she will definitely be our go to going forward!!

Desire went above and beyond! She regularly updated about the pets, kept the house tidy, and when we returned from our trip the house was cleaner than when we left! We will absolutely be having Desire house sit more! Two large dogs and a cat can be a lot but she crushed it!
Nathalia house sat for two days, taking care of our cat Toccata. She sent videos and photos to let us know our baby was doing well while we were away. Nathalia was friendly, energetic, and we felt like our fur baby was happily taken care of during our trip.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Winfield is $105 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $132 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 18,591 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Winfield. 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 Winfield 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 Winfield 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 Winfield 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.
