About: What sets me apart is the genuine love, patience, and attention I give every pet. I treat each animal like a member of my own family and take the time to learn their unique personality, routine, and needs. My goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you're away. I have experience caring for puppies, adult dogs, senior pets, and cats. I'm comfortable following detailed care instructions, administering medications when needed, maintaining feeding schedules, and providing gentle care for older pets. I'm also reliable, communicative, and send regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. You can count on me to care for both your pets and your home with the highest level of respect, responsibility, and compassion. This position will be my full-time job, and I have a very flexible schedule. I am available to work mornings, evenings, nights, weekends, and holidays as needed. I can accommodate any schedule with at least three days' advance notice and am committed to being dependable, reliable, and available whenever the team needs me. I provide loving, dependable, and attentive care tailored to each pet's individual needs. In my home or a client's home, I follow the pet's regular routine as closely as possible, including feeding, providing fresh water, administering medications if instructed, exercising, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of affection. I also monitor each pet for any changes in behavior, appetite, or health and communicate updates promptly with the owner. I respect my clients' homes by keeping them clean, secure, and following all care instructions exactly. My goal is to ensure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owner is away.

About: Pet Care has always been a huge part of my life. From growing up with dogs of all sizes to being a pet parent myself. It's part of my everyday life. Everything from bathing them to playing with them. Whether it's a dog, cat or reptile, I can handle it. When an animal is in my care, I assure that their physical and social needs are met, while providing them with a safe environment to comfortably explore. I take time to assess my space or your space to assure that any potential dangers or risks are removed.
About: I’ve fostered dogs since I was in fourth grade, sometimes multiple at a time. Varying in size and age, sometimes cats as well as dogs. I am currently a junior at UWL and work an on campus job. I am going to school full time and my job does block off some of my time but I am willing to work my schedule around the fur babies. I live in the dorms so I will not be able to take the dogs into my home but I can easily take care of them in your home and easily crate if necessary. They will be provided with plenty of love and attention.
“Shylynn did a wonderful job looking after our sweet dog. It was a drop-in visit situation. Shylynn checked on our pup at the designated times, she walked her once, gave her treats, made sure she had food and water, and provided photos of our dog while we were away. Shylynn is a lovely young lady who loves animals and I would highly recommend her for your pet care needs.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Winterhaven
Melissa was wonderful! She came over ahead of time for a meet and greet, and our generally nervous, high-anxiety Golden Retriever immediately took to her. She kept us updated throughout her stay with detailed report cards and lots of sweet pictures, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away. We’re so thankful to have found someone we trust completely with our girl. Melissa is so kind, caring, and dependable. Absolutely recommend her!
Lana was awesome! She is very easy to communicate with and responds promptly. We set up the meet and greet and key exchange easily. She shared photos of my doggies the whole time we were away. We came home to a tidy home and happy dogs! Highly recommend, and will definitely be booking again!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Winterhaven
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 109 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Winterhaven. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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.

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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
