“Sam is absolutely amazing!! Such a good guy!! My doggos were treated the absolute best. Sam came and stayed at my home to watch our babies. He checked in every day, and sent us pictures and videos. He took extra care of the frenchies as they are puppies (9months) and can be a handful. He went above and beyond when he stripped the bed before he left and started the laundry!! Totally unexpected!! We HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM!!! Thanks Sam! You are welcome any time and know we will be calling you in the future to watch the babies!!”
“Atlantis did a fantastic job! She kept us up to date with pics of our pets while we were away and treated our pets as if they were her own. We intend on booking with her again!”
“Very communicative and kind while watching my beloved pup! Sent pictures and updates when asked, brought in packages that were delivered while I was away, and even came over ahead of time to meet my dog and see my place.”
“Lindsay was absolutely fabulous! She was incredibly thoughtful, conscientious, and went above and beyond while house and dog sitting for us. She spent so much time with our dogs, taking them on walks and giving them tons of love and attention. They were noticeably happier when we returned. Along with that the house was clean and everything was just as we had left it. We will definitely use Lindsay again. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their home and pets!”
“Sierra is a wonderful young lady. She sent me several pictures of my dogs, followed the instructions, and left my house exactly the way she found it. I would happily recommend Sierra for your dog sitting needs.”
About: As someone who has taken care of my own and other people’s pets I know how important it is for someone to be reliable and trustworthy with your pets. I constantly seek to be someone you can count on to provide your pets with the best service I can offer I am currently a student at NAU with a schedule that keeps my weekends and evenings free. I am very flexible to accommodate your preferences for your pets! I am very good at maintaining routines for your pets! I can easily crate or ensure that outside gates are shut when I leave. My goal is to ensure that your pet is comfortable at home and following what instructions are left for me.
“Marni took amazing care of my two dogs for the weekend! They are recently adopted and often scared of new people, but they loved her immediately. They also have health issues, and Marni was prepared to handle those, too. I highly recommend Marni to take care of your fur babies!”
“Alissa is so communicative and caring! She sent multiple pictures of my animals while I was gone, and she was sure to ask questions about anything she was unsure of. Alissa’s care and attentiveness was SO appreciated :)”
“Jada took great care of my cat and senior dog while I was traveling. I came home to calm and happy pets and a clean house. She was super easy to communicate with, and I will definitely book with her again!”
About: I have had pets all 18 years of my life! Dogs, cats, rodents, birds, and fish! I am experienced in cleaning up, walking, and playing with furry friends. I work remotely, and will be going to NAU for college. Most of my availability will be in the afternoon, but at this moment in time I'm free any time a day until the end of August. My apartment doesn't allow pets, but I am willing to pet sit at the owner's home. I will follow any and all rules the pet owner has for their home. I will clean any messes made, and inform the owner of anything the pet or I have done in and outside the home.

“Rebecca is our #1 choice for dog and house sitting. We left for a 5 day trip just as the monsoon storms hit. She went above and beyond to make our two big dogs were safe and happy!”
About: I love caring for and spending time with both cats and dogs alike! I love their zest for life and how caring for them can remind us of important values. I don’t currently have pets of my own, but most of my friends and family members have pets that I’ve helped take care of. I just moved to the Flagstaff area so I have plenty of availability for pet care right now. I’d love to meet your fur babies! My old cat liked to pretend to be an escape artist and also liked trying to eat random things, so I’m really good about making sure they don’t run off and keeping the environment safe for them. I also will give lots of pets and talk to them.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Winona on Rover is $42.8 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

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 Winona 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 Winona 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 Winona 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.

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.
