“Kory was absolutely fantastic! She kept in touch with us the whole time, which really put us at ease while we were away. Our dog was well taken care of, and she did a great job looking after our house too. When Hurricane Helene messed with our travel plans, Kory was super flexible and understanding, which we really appreciated. We came home to a happy pup and a clean house—couldn’t ask for more! Highly recommend Kory for anyone needing a reliable, communicative, and all-around awesome pet sitter!”
“Emma took wonderful care of Matteo, Niko, and Marcello while my mom and I were away! She kept us updated, followed their care instructions, and made sure everyone had food, fresh water, and attention. Matteo got his walk, and the cats’ litter box was kept clean. She was also flexible when our return time changed, which I really appreciated! It was reassuring to hear that all three were comfortable and following her around, even Marcello was showing off his zoomies! 😂 I would happily book Emma again and recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable pet sitter! 🐾”
“Dixie was fantastic! We have used a lot of different sitter, but Dixie was by far the best. She communicated regularly and clearly. She sent updates and made sure to ask all the right questions anytime something happens with our pets. Great house guest, everything was just how we left it. Will book again!”
“Ashley did a fantastic job taking care of my dog. She kept me informed daily of their activities and Sam’s reaction to having someone else taking care of her. This was my first time to use a sitter and I couldn’t be more pleased. She’s a wonderful communicator and treated my pet as if she were her own. I’ll definitely use her again.”
“Sydney did a PHENOMENAL job of staying with our babies when we were gone for a week. She updated us and sent us pictures everyday and she had amazing attention to detail! When we got back home, we could tell how happy our animals were and the house looked like we never left. It is so hard to find someone, who you trust, to take care of your animals, but I felt comfortable with Sydney as soon as I met her. This allowed us to truly enjoy our vacation without worry. I would recommend her to everyone and we will only be using her in the future!! 100/10!”
About: My Personal Approach & Passion for Pets My genuine love for animals is what drives my pet care style. I am patient, trustworthy, and naturally observant, making it easy for me to connect with pets of all temperaments. For me, pet sitting isn’t just a task; it is about providing a warm, low-stress environment where your animals feel entirely safe, happy, and treated like family while you are away. What Sets Me Apart:I offer a highly adaptive environment for all pets and life stages, including dogs, cats, and puppies. I easily handle the high energy and training support needed for playful youngsters, as well as the gentle comfort, slow pace, and strict medication schedules required for senior companion animals. I customize my daily routine to mirror yours, ensuring your pet enjoys a seamless transition with plenty of interactive play, cozy naps, and affection. Pet care is the main focus of my daily routine because I work from home full-time. This flexibility allows me to provide constant supervision, frequent potty breaks every 2 to 3 hours, and interactive playtime throughout the day. My weekly schedule is highly consistent, meaning your dogs, cats, or puppies will enjoy a reliable routine with plenty of companionship and zero long periods spent alone. I create a safe, pet-proofed environment where your dogs, cats, or puppies are treated like family. They have full access to comfortable resting spots, fresh water, and supervised play. I follow your exact feeding schedules, crate routines, and potty windows to keep their days consistent and stress-free. In Your Home (Drop-Ins/Sitting): I respect your space while prioritizing your pet's comfort. During visits, I handle feeding, refreshing water bowls, cleaning litter boxes, and administering any required medications. I make sure to include plenty of quality playtime or belly rubs, and I always send you photo updates so you know they are safe and happy.
About: I have grown up with dogs so I’m used to all kinds of dogs. From puppies to seniors. I also used to volunteer at animal shelters. I’m currently working part time and do most of college online. So I have plenty of time for your pets! I also have a very flexible schedule. I’m committed to providing quality care in the environment your pet is used too. My goal is make your pet feel well taken care of.
“Valeria was amazing! Truly had the best experience with her. She was so communicative and had great attention to detail. Cannot recommend her enough! We will definitely book with her again ❤️”
“Rocky, Luna and Mocha are loved beyond and my home is exactly as I had left it. My chickens are happy! The communication while we were away was outstanding. I have never had a more relaxed trip away knowing my home and animal family is cared for.”
About: Hello! My name is Cooper and I’m currently residing in the Villa Rica area. I will travel a maximum of an hour away. However long or frequent a client may need me to be, as I’ll always be there in demand. I’ve always had a knack of caring for others and being there when needed. I have experience in Assisted Living & Memory Care. Patient and Compassionate are the two words that describe me best. I will work around your schedule because I know how important our babies mean to us. I have experience in caring for special needs animals, for example, my baby Winston who is now 4 years old has had eye removal surgery and I have cared for him throughout and after surgery. At the moment; this is my Full-time job, so that gives me flexibility to work around your schedule and your needs. I’m available to do light housework to make sure your home stays nice and cozy while you’re away. I have experience with elderly animals and animals with injuries. I personally will give you daily updates and pictures on how your baby is doing. I’m looking forward to taking care of your little love! Right now, this is my full-time job, so I’m available when you need me. No need to look any further. I’ll be there when you need me. I offer dog walking, companionship, and care.Whether it’s watching your baby’s favorite TV show or playing with their favorite toys… I’ll make sure their day is full of love and care. ❤️
“Lauren was very communicative with my Maltipoo, Blaise. I requested she stay in my home because Blaise has high anxiety levels when boarded. Blaise immediately took to Lauren from the initial meeting. She allowed him to cuddle with her and followed the directive’s I left. If she had to run out, she didn’t leave him unattended for more than three hours at a time. She even took Blaise out for walks. She was very respectful of my home and left it in neat condition and emptied any trash she had accumulated. I definitely will continue to request her because Blaise was very happy with Lauren. Thank you so much Lauren!”
“Stephanie was great with my two dogs! She communicated clearly and I never once had to worry that they were in goods while I was away. I have a high strung working line GSD who insist on lots of play and Stephanie picked up on all her games to keep her entertained inside while it’s too hot outside. Already have another stay planned!”
“Ken is amazing!! He took great care of Dixie (and my home) while I was away, and will definitely book him again!!! He's greatly professional and his love of dogs shines through!”
“Jayne stayed at our home and took great care of our cats and dog. We received lots of updates, including pictures and videos while we were away. We also came home to a vacuumed house, which we appreciated after a long day of travel. We will be using her again and highly recommend her services!”
“Great with my dogs, cats, and lizards!! Yes, lizards! Alicia sent photos and videos every day several times a day while we took our kids to Chicago for the long weekend. We booked house sitting, and boy, she really did house sit! She even vacuumed, did dishes, and took out the trash for us. Really appreciate her and WILL be booking again.”
About: I have been around dogs my entire life and wouldn’t have it any other way. Growing up, we always had at least two dogs in the family. At an early age I learned a lot from my uncle who trained dogs to assist the disabled and blind. I previously worked at a boarding/daycare facility for 3 years which gave me experience with a variety of dog breeds, sizes, ages, medications, health conditions and grooming. At the daycare/boarding facility we were trained to pick up behavioral cues from dogs. We were taught positive ways to enforce good behavior and correct unwanted behavior. I am very familiar with how to handle dogs with food and/or leash aggression. Prior to working at the daycare/boarding facility, I worked with rescue groups and helped foster dogs. I’m the type of person that can’t ignore a pup in need of love and care. I currently have 5 dogs: a Jack Russell/Chihuahua mix, miniature Dachshund, Yorkie, Morkie and Border Collie/Terrier mix. I am very experienced with dogs with special needs. In the past I’ve owned a dog that went blind, another one that had seizures and currently our Yorkie is losing her hearing and sight. I treat my dogs as if they are my kids. Be rest assured, I’ll treat your pup(s) the same! I currently work from home so I’ll be available to spend lots of time with your fur babies. This will allow them to have lots of steady potty breaks and be able to stick to any routines they’re used to. I have a fenced yard and my fur babies are friendly with other dogs so they’re sure to keep your dog company. I never leaves dogs together while unattended; they would be crated (if that’s what they’re used to) or separated just to be safe if I ever needed to step away for a moment. Your pet’s safety is my utmost concern and priority.
About: What sets me apart is that I truly care about getting to know each pet as an individual. I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. every animal has their own personality, routine, and little quirks, and I want them to feel comfortable, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’m dependable, attentive, and happy to give your pets the extra attention they deserve. Whether it’s a walk, a drop-in visit, playtime, cuddles, or simply keeping them company, I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own. I also love keeping pet parents updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind. My goal is simple: for your pets to have a fun, comfortable experience and for you to feel completely confident knowing they’re being cared for. 🐾❤️ Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I’m dependable, organized, and enjoy making time to give pets the attention and care they need. I’m happy to work walks, drop-in visits, playtime, feeding, and cuddles into my schedule while following each pet’s usual routine as closely as possible. I plan ahead so I can be consistent and present during each visit, rather than rushing through care. I also make time to send pet parents updates and photos, helping you feel connected and reassured while you’re away. I like to think of pet sitting as stepping into a pet’s world without disrupting it. I pay attention to the small details—their favorite spot to nap, the sound they make when they want attention, the toys they ignore, and the routines that help them feel at ease. My goal is to make your absence feel as uneventful as possible for them. During each visit, I’ll follow your instructions carefully while adding plenty of patience, playtime, affection, walks, meals, fresh water, litter box care, and whatever else your pet needs. I won’t treat the visit like a quick checklist; I’ll take the time to notice how your pet is doing and respond to their personality and mood. I’ll also leave your home even better than I found it and keep you updated with thoughtful messages and photos—not just proof that I stopped by, but little glimpses of how your pet is spending their day.

Lexi did a great job watching our pets and home while we were away. She was very communicative, kind, and made sure both animals were well taken care of. Everything went smoothly and we felt comfortable knowing our pets were in good hands. We’d definitely trust her to watch them again!

As of October 2026, there are 3,733 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Winndale. 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 Winndale 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 Winndale 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 Winndale 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.
