“Emma was sweet as heck and we loved having her watching over our babies while we were away. Super thankful to have found such a kind kitty sitter who made our girls feel loved and comforted. She was very communicative. We could not have asked for a better experience with her.”
“Bianca was kind and came by beforehand for a rundown, which was much appreciated! She is clearly a cat person who is dedicated to her pet sitting commitments. I removed a star because she had a last minute mix up with her work schedule and texted us the morning we were leaving to let us know she could not come within the agreed upon time window, which left us scrambling calling neighbors and friends asking for backup. She ended up getting her work schedule moved around to make it work, which we really appreciated, but she was not able to stay the full 30 minutes at that time. This delayed us leaving on our trip by about two hours, which was a challenging start for us. With that being said, we really appreciated Bianca going above and beyond to get her work schedule moved around when things went awry.”
“Ella is amazing! She did some drop in visits to walk my dog and keep him company during the day when I had a busy week at work. My dog LOVED her, and had so much fun on their walks. Ella is very thorough and professional, providing detailed summaries of each visit along with pictures. I would definitely recommend her to looking for pet care!”
“Ashley did a fine job watching our car for a few days around Thanksgiving 2025. She sent daily pictures and kept us updated on the house and the cat. We will definitely book with her again! Ashley is a real pro!”
“Charlotte did a great job checking in on my cat Ash over a weekend. She provided frequent updates and communication was easy. Would definitely recommend her and will keep her in mind for the future!”
About: I am a dog lover and have owned dogs for 15 years. I have experience with puppies and senior dogs. I can help with puppy training and can administer any medications if necessary. I would love the opportunity to walk your dogs! Can do local early morning walks, afternoon breaks, after work walks, or evening/night time potty breaks! I have open availability. I would really enjoy the opportunity to get to know you and your fur babies. I'm open for all types of visits. I do work fulltime but can do early morning walks, lunch time breaks, evenings and weekends. My puppy is on a harness and leash. She is always contained or in my home. I have a yard but unfenced. I live down the street from a dog park.
“Daniel's been training Clea (and me) as well as walking her, he's attentive and kind and loving. She's a very sweet dog who means well and learns quickly, but she can get carried away - his presence in her life has made a big, calming difference. Thank you Daniel.”
“So thankful I found Lianna! She goes above and beyond for drop in visits with my pup a couple times each week - not just making sure she gets dinner water and potty breaks, but taking time to reinforce good habits and work on some training with her. It’s so nice knowing she is in caring and thoughtful care. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a pet sitter that is responsible, punctual and genuinely cares!”
About: I will devote my time to giving your beloved pet the best experience I can provide for them! I love both cats and dogs, and am always excited to meet new animals. I have worked for Camp Bow Wow for a year, and Paws and Unwind for 6 months. I have also been training dogs of and on for 10 years now. I love the chance to work and spend my days with new, happy dogs! It is one of the greatest enjoyments in my life! Thank you for your time, and I look forward to meeting you and your fur baby! I live with my little brother in an apartment, we have 2 cats, and I devote my time to them and the care of the house. Your pet will fit right in for as long as they need to! I have an upstairs apartment, and sadly no yard, but I live right downtown, near multiple dog parks and trails, so your pup will have ample opportunities for exercise!
“Kasey is our go-to sitter to watch out cat. She’s always so great at communicating with usa sn keeping us updated with everything going on at home, and I also know our cat adores her, so I’m always comfortable going on vacation knowing Zoey will have a friend to hang out with and watch the birds.”
About: I have experience caring for all kinds of animals with different needs, personalities, and routines. I also work at a veterinary clinic, where I’ve gained hands-on experience with animal care, including administering medications. My veterinary experience helps me provide attentive, knowledgeable care for puppies, seniors, and pets requiring extra support. I work during the week, but I love spending my weekends caring for pets. Pet sitting fits naturally into my schedule and gives me the opportunity to spend my free time doing something I genuinely enjoy while providing pets with loving, attentive care. I tailor my care to each pet’s individual needs and routine. Before starting, I like to meet the pet and visit the client’s home to learn their schedule, habits, feeding instructions, and preferences. I then make a specific plan to fit their routine and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for.
About: I’ve had my own dogs all my life and have sat and walked pets professionally for around 2 years, so I am equipped with the skills necessary to keep pets safe and happy. I’ve had one-time clients or recurring clients — whatever the owner needs! I love pets and have always gotten along well when I meet a friend’s pet, hence my interest in expanding this passion. I am currently in medical school and my schedule is relatively flexible - I am able to walk your pets, drop in to make sure they’re okay, or stay with them all day! I generally have classes in the mornings and afternoons mostly off. I am available for walks or overnight stays depending on the pet parent’s request. I am happy to work with clients and figure out a schedule that works for them! I abide by all rules the owner set. I will inquire ahead of time of any special needs the pet has or certain routines from the owner. I am not there to intrude - just offer the same level of care and love as the dog would normally get! I also understand some pets may be anxious with a new person in the house, so I will do my best to ease into my position and offer a lot of comfort to the pets before trying to play with them or feed them.
“Lucy was such a great sitter! Our dogs took an immediate liking to her and she was able to manage our high-energy boys. She with attentive and patient with them. Lucy was very responsive and took great pictures! 10/10 recommend”
About: As a lifelong animal lover with years of experience, I have had the pleasure of caring for a wide range of pets, including dogs, cats, and small animals. My experience spans from handling playful puppies to providing tender care for senior pets from friends and family for over five years. I am free this July until August and otherwise I will be going to UVM this fall so my availability will vary based on my schedule. I’m not planning on taking any pets to my house since it is not pet safe. I will gladly though pet sit in your house.
“This is the second time Zoe has watched my two cats and she does such a great job. Whenever I go on trips I know I’m leaving them in good hands in Zoe’s care. She always sends pictures and I come home to two well-fed and happy cats.”
“Anna was so great caring for my little Ollie with same day service! She was so thoughtful with her notes and time she spent with him. I am so happy as this is my first time using Rover and being a new dog mama!”

Kristy has taken care of my two cats twice now. Feeding has been a little chaotic lately because my older cat has been a super picky eater lately and the younger one always wants his leftovers. She was great with communication to let me know she was able to get him to eat and what worked and what didn't. She also has won over the shy guy and sent several pictures of both cats hanging out and looking completely chill. I definitely recommend her and plan to rebook in the future.
We have three cats, one of which is a tiny old one-eyed man named Minion who is scared of everything and everybody. He only comes out at night or at dinner time. Charlotte not only saw our little guy, but got him to sit on the sofa next to her! If that's not an indication of her trustworthiness, I don't know what is. We've used Charlotte several times, most recently for a two week stretch. She updated us regularly with photos and notes. The cats were well fed and given plenty of attention. She even washed the towel in the laundry room when one of the cats had an accident! Definitely hiring her again and highly recommend her.
Felipe C. is the best. I haven't left town in 3 years due to having to provide medication to my senior cat twice/day. Finding Felipe was a god send. I will continue to use him and feel very confident that my cats are in good hands. I truly appreciated his daily notes and photos. Do not hesitate to connect w/Felipe and put your mind at ease.
Clare was absolutely amazing! We've never used Rover.com before and were a bit hesitant. When we reached out to Clare a few weeks before vacation, she was very responsive and asked great questions during our initial meet-and-greet phone call. Even while on vacation, receiving updates and pictures of how our kitties were doing really helped ease the uncertainty. Clare went the extra mile all around - from being consistent with feedings to providing play time when the kitties were receptive and monitoring the amount of food they were eating, given we had just changed over to a new hard food for our senior boy! Thank you so much! We're so appreciative of you, Clare, and will definitely be using your services in the future.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 630 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Winooski. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Winooski stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.

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.
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.
