“Antonio was great with our nervous/reactive dog, Waylo, and knew not to push to create a relationship. Both Penny and Waylo were in great care, and updates were provided regularly. We felt confident that our dogs were in good hands. We definitely recommend Antonio, and would gladly use his services again.”
“Chandler was great with our 4 yr old Luka - could not have found a better match! She stayed at our house while we had to travel out of the country and we came back to our home just as it was left. Lots of pictures were sent to us while we were away showing Luka was in good hands. While he was excited to see us when we got home, he also kept looking at the front door waiting for Chandler to come back. I've already told him she'll be back next time we go on a trip 😁 Highly recommend Chandler for any pet care needed whether its for drop in visits or overnight stays. She will be just as kind and caring for your animal as she was with ours!”
About: I have four years of hands-on experience caring for my own dog and understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pet. I'm experienced with feeding, bathing, daily grooming, administering medications, training commands, playtime, and of course, walks! I'm patient and attentive to each dog's individual personality and needs. I'd also be happy to help with light housekeeping while caring for your pet. My schedule is very flexible, so I'm available for pet care throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends! My only regular commitments are class from 12-1:30 p.m. on Mondays and Tuesdays and church from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. on Sundays. Outside of those times, I have plenty of availability to give your pets the time, attention, and care they need. I provide pet care in your home, where your pet can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. I'm happy to follow any specific instructions you provide for feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and other daily care. I'll always be respectful of your home and attentive to your pet's individuals needs, safety, and comfort. I'm also happy to provide updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is safe and well cared for while you're away!
About: I grew up in a family that always had pets and working dogs mostly mixed breeds and some purebreds. I have had two dogs (one at a time) in the last thirty years. My first dog was a registered black Labrador. My wife gave her to me on our second Christmas together. Her name was Genoa - after the Italian city I studied in as a grad student. She passed away at nineteen years old. I now have a Maltese - Shih Tzu. He loves to play fetch even though he is eleven years old. I do DoorDash part-time, so I have a flexible schedule. I can work around your dog's routine to make sure they're fed and exercised regularly. In my experience, animals feel more comfortable and secure in their usual environment, so the only new element is my presence and how I interact with them. I have cared for dogs that need regular medications and exercise, and I maintain their schedule and activities as closely as possible. This is especially important to me when dealing with dogs who are crated or confined. I want to build a strong relationship with your pet based on trust and consistency.
“Angela was wonderful. We will definitely book with her again. She was on time, courteous, very kind to our pups and responded to all my texts. She sent pics and updates. I was very at ease leaving my guys with her.”
“C was the BEST! He came for a meet and greet and we immediately felt comfortable that our pets would be in good hands. He was extremely communicative beforehand and then each day he sent photos and updates, but did not spam us while we were on vacation. He was also extremely detail oriented- when the written instructions I left different from what was noted on a medication bottle, he checked before following one or the other. He was also extremely clean and tidy- he left the house in better shape than he found it and even remade the bed with fresh sheets so it would be one less thing when we got back!”
“Nikki was great! We gave her a tough task of 3 dogs to watch, 1 being a puppy but she took the time to get to know our boys and stuck to the schedule. We got lots of updates and photos which is always appreciated. Would absolutely recommend her to anyone who is looking for a trusted sitter.”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats in my household for as long as I can remember. Friends and family have trusted me to check in on and care for the pets for years now and I always love getting to know the inside personalities of your furry friends! I’m currently living with my parents while I’m on break from college and working a few odd jobs here and there to make extra money, so I have a very adjustable schedule that allows for plenty of time to care for your pets! I have a fenced in back yard and a pretty spacious house. I do have a dog who loves other dogs so they can certainly play together if applicable. My two cats would largely just ignore/avoid animals they aren’t familiar with. In your home I can adjust to whatever your pet’s individual needs are.
About: I've grown up with dogs my entire life and currently have both a dog and a cat who mean the world to me. 🐶🐱 Over the years, I've cared for pets for neighbors, friends, and repeat clients through drop-in visits, walks, and house sitting. I love getting to know each pet's unique personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. I'm comfortable administering oral medications when needed and always do my best to follow each pet's normal routine so they feel as happy and stress-free as possible. I currently have flexible availability for drop-in visits, dog walks, and house sitting. Once my fall semester begins on August 25 and I start my weekday nanny position on August 31, my availability will become more limited, but I'll still be accepting bookings that fit my schedule. I do my best to respond quickly to messages and keep my calendar up to date so you'll always know when I'm available. I know it's a big deal to trust someone with both your pet and your home, and I don't take that responsibility lightly. I'll follow your pet's routine as closely as possible, keep their environment clean and comfortable, and provide updates and photos so you can relax while you're away. During our meet and greet, I'll ask plenty of questions to learn your pet's routines, preferences, and any special instructions so I can provide the best care possible.
“Laura did a fantastic job watching our pups and home while we’re were away. She communicated well, sending photos so we could see our fur babies in our absence. We’ll definitely have her help us again!”
About: With over 30 years of experience caring for my own dogs and cats, I have provided potty and crate training, daily companionship, medication support, and compassionate senior dog care for pets with hip dysplasia and other age-related needs. As a retired teacher with an open schedule, I can easily fit pet care into my daily routine. I have plenty of time for walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, and attentive care, ensuring every pet feels comfortable, happy, and loved. I provide personalized care in your home, including feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, dispensing medication, companionship, and plenty of affection. I will follow your instructions carefully, respect your home, and ensure your pets feel safe, comfortable, happy, and loved while you are away.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my professional experience working at a dog boarding facility for two years, where I cared for dogs of all ages and temperaments. This experience has given me the skills to handle various situations, from managing energetic pups to providing special attention for senior dogs. Additionally, I've been a dog owner since 2012, which has allowed me to develop a strong understanding of dog behavior, training, and the everyday care needed to keep a pet happy and healthy. I am dedicated to providing your pet with the best possible experience. I’m currently working part-time so I have plenty of extra time to care and love for your pet. I am free mornings and early afternoon as well as late nights. But I can be flexible. Whatever you and your pet need. Unfortunately, my childhood dog recently passed away but now I have extra space and time for your pets! I have all the necessary things to care for your pet as well as a crate for smaller dogs if needed. But every dog is different so the routine I had for my dog is different than the routine your pet is used to, so whatever your pet needs while you are away, I will be happy to provide that for you both.
“Bria did a fabulous job of watching my boys! I have a special needs pup and she took great care of him!!! I could tell my boys were happy and well-loved while we were away. We will definitely use Bria in the future!”
“Marcus was great! He was flexible with a change in my needs! He sent several pictures and video to let me know how the dogs were doing. Will definitely schedule with him again.”

It was her first time with us and she made every effort to learn about the pets routines and their care in our home. She is reliable, caring, friendly and communicated well. We are grateful to have met her and the care she provided for our pets for two nights.

The average cost of House Sitting in Wintercrest is $55 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $78 per night.

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 Wintercrest 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 Wintercrest 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 Wintercrest 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.
