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!

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. ❤️
“Sam is the absolute best dog sitter we have ever had the pleasure of having stay in our home. While we are not there to see how she interacts with our dogs and cat, they seem relaxed when we arrive home which was never the case if we left before having a sitter. Today, while the sit was close to ended (or maybe already had ended), our home lost power and Sam STAYED with them and made decisions for their safety while we were not easily reachable. Thankfully it only lasted an hour but I appreciate her not quickly leaving knowing how dangerous that can be during GA summers. Sam also takes the BEST pet pictures while we're gone. She captures their personalities and what they did during the day perfectly. I cannot recommend this sitter enough. She will always been my go to person for pet sitting.”
“Lori did a wonderful job caring for our two dogs while we were away. One of our dogs, Daisy, is easily anxious, and Lori spent plenty of time with both pups and was there to comfort Daisy when a power flicker upset her. Our senior dog, Chico, requires insulin injections twice a day on a strict schedule, so having someone we can trust to manage his care is extremely important to us. Lori sent us documentation each time she gave Chico his insulin, along with regular updates on the dogs throughout her stay. Those updates gave us tremendous peace of mind and allowed us to relax and enjoy our time away knowing our pups were being well cared for. We came home to two happy, well-cared-for dogs and would absolutely be happy to have Lori stay with them again”
“I really wanted to keep Brianna, but she communicates well when securing the job but her communication is hit or miss when sitting. Also, the last visit she was late and I asked for her to modify the visit to a drop in since she came late even after me asking for a cancelation. I still have not gotten half of my money back even after contacting Rover, which Brianna has nothing to do with. She was great with my pet and I appreciate that, but as a traveling fur mommy, communication is non negotiable and I still want my refund from Rover.”
“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!”
About: As a lifelong pet owner, I understand that our pets are more than just animals—they’re family. I’m attentive, responsible, and committed to providing the same care, love, and consistency I would want for my own pets. I understand how important it is to maintain your pet’s routine, from feeding and walks to playtime, medications, rest, and plenty of companionship. I have experience caring for senior pets, special-needs pets, and puppies, each with their own unique needs and personalities. I truly believe that time spent with an animal is a privilege. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. 🐾❤️ I have open availability so frequency of visits will not be an issue. Tell me the time and place and I will make it happen. When caring for someone else’s pet, I treat them with the same love, patience, and attention that I give my own. I understand that every pet has unique needs, personalities, and routines, and I take the time to learn what makes them comfortable and happy. I am respectful of their established routines and will do my best to keep their day-to-day schedule consistent while you’re away. I also have no problem administering medications as needed and will follow all instructions carefully. My goal is to provide dependable, compassionate care so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. * No problem administering medications as directed * Respectful of your pet’s routines and daily schedule * Patient, attentive, and dependable in every aspect of care
“Mya was a wonderful sitter while we were out of town. She communicated with periodic check ins complete with pictures of our fur babies. She followed all of our instructions to the letter and even left us a thoughtful keepsake. Will definitely book her again.”
“Kelly did a great job caring for Mila. Mila was very comfortable with Kelly. Kelly left our place clean and like we left it. Thank you Kelly. I would certainly use Kelly again in the future.”
“Amanda was great! I was worried about my dog because she’s older. But she was very well taken care of and Amanda made sure Reese’s was in good hands! I will definitely rebook with her.”
“Janelle was an absolute blessing to our family! She took exceptional care of our three rambunctious mini dachshunds, giving us complete peace of mind so we could fully relax and enjoy our 30th anniversary trip to Mexico. Throughout our time away, she kept us updated with thoughtful communication and plenty of photos of our fur babies, which meant so much to us. When we returned home, we were amazed to find the house not only spotless but actually cleaner than when we left. She had even organized my disaster of a pantry—something I had been putting off for far too long! Her attention to detail and willingness to help in every way are truly remarkable. And as if that weren't enough, she welcomed us home with a delicious pasta dish and a loaf of homemade bread. That level of thoughtfulness and generosity is rare and speaks volumes about the kind of person she is. Janelle went far beyond anything we could have expected. She served our family with such kindness, care, and grace, and was truly the hands and feet of Jesus during a time when we needed it most. We are incredibly grateful for her and cannot recommend her highly enough. ❤️”
About: When I was a child, I dreamed of becoming a vet. Nature, animals, and being active have always been a part of my life. I became a Fitness Professional who believes health & well-being are fundamental for humans AND for animals. I'm grateful for all LIFE and that shows in the way I embrace energy , the way I love to run & play myself, and that's what I provide to those that are under my care!! Security is a priority, water, food, a warm & comfortable shelter, a place to expand energy & many ways to stimulate interests are all I have to offer to your dog. I'm also patient - which I think is important because we all need time to learn & be understood.
About: I used to be a dog mom to a mini poodle, unfortunately he passed away at 17 years 🥹. I have experience managing reactive dogs. My fur baby was a rescue. I love my time with dogs because they are just pure joy! I work from home 4 days out of the week (7am-4pm). I typically commute to work on Wednesdays. My job is pretty relaxed and allows me to tend to any additional needs. I’m pretty flexible overall just need notice ahead of time. I am very trustworthy and customer service oriented. I like to ensure I know everything about the household I’m going to and any details about the fur baby that I should be aware of. My goal is to keep the fur baby safe and the owner happy.
About: I have been around animal care since I was born. I have six dogs of my own, ranging from a Husky all the way down to a Maltese. I have a real passion for animals and love to take care of them. I often help out with neighbors and friends to pet sit while out of town or for a quick potty break if needed. I’m currently starting my Master’s program in August with university of west Georgia. Outside of my classes, I have free time that does not always allow for a full time job, but just enough for pet sitting. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding, medications, walks, and daily routines to help your pet feel secure while you’re away. I treat every home with respect, keep doors and gates securely closed, use leashes on all walks unless you’ve instructed otherwise in a secure area, and provide regular updates with photos so you can have peace of mind.
“Finding her husband a blessing to our family! her vibe is so grounding and the dogs feed off of that. I don't think I have felt this comfortable with someone taking care of my fur babies in many years. She builds bonds with them she doesn't just babysit them or check off a list. there is a relationship there and I love it. Our little guy noodle goes through a depression when she leaves. I'm glad I found Rover.”
About: I am a respectful and caring sitter waiting to assist! 🩷 I currently have two dogs, a rescue named Kali and a mini golden doddle, Bentley! Over the years, I’ve taken care of my own dogs and friends/families whenever needed! I promise to be gentle, caring and responsible when watching or walking your baby 🦮 I work full time, remotely from 9-5pm. My day to day schedule is not busy and I am open to be more flexible if needed. I have an unfenced large backyard where I usually leash my dogs to walk or play. Inside my home, there is space in my basement, where my office is, to allow any dog of any size to play.
“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 ❤️”
“From the very first day Jessica displayed an exemplary level of trust, care and individual attention with our two cats. My husband and I have done some traveling over the past year. The most stressful aspects by far have been finding a pet sitter for our two cats and being able to trust the sitter to carry out the somewhat nuanced aspects of care they require. If you are anything like us, you view your furry loved ones as nuanced snowflakes which can lead to constant worrying about whether the individual watching them really cares for them the way that you do. Jessica’s adherence to instructions and open communication allowed us to relax and know our cats were in good hands from the very first day. She provided great pictures and updates in a timely matter. It was clear that Jessica’s energy was nurturing and attentive as every single picture showed our two cats looking beyond content. They even seemed to be getting along in a way that surprised us! This was surely due to her calming demeanor and loving attention which we felt from the moment we met her. When we returned home after about 10 days it was like our cats didn’t even realize we were gone, which while somewhat annoying to us(🤭), was such an incredible sign! They were loved and cared for in our absence and that is all we could want. Our home was left clean and organized with nothing out of place. Awesome. With Jessica, we feel like we can travel with peace of mind knowing that our precious pets are in the best of hands as well as our home which is truly special. We could not recommend her more highly. Thank you Jessica!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 3,440 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Winston. 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 Winston 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 Winston 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 Winston 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.
