“Amy did an amazing job house sitting for our two dogs! They can be pretty energetic and always enjoy their walks, and Amy handled them with patience, care, and confidence. It was clear they were happy, well exercised, and well loved while we were away. She kept us updated throughout our trip, which gave us great peace of mind. We also came home to a house that was in excellent condition, which we really appreciated. Amy was reliable, thoughtful, and easy to communicate with. We wouldn’t hesitate to book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!”
“Jenna was perfect. After a long bout with kitten health care issues, it was very relieving to hear someone use the familiar language of a health care professional. She knew what to look out for and how best to manage the several potential issues she might face. We were fortunate - no issues surfaced - but we slept well on our trip knowing the cats would be okay had something happened. She treated our cats, our house, and our quirky needs as cat owners with respect - which is all you can ask.”
“We just completed our first booking with Nianna and she was wonderful. Our pup Runner took to her right away and she is a tough sell. Our sweet pup had recent surgery and Nianna handled her situation with great care. We love Nianna and looking forward to another booking as it allows us to leave home with peace of mind.”
“Hayley is the best pet and house sitter ever! We hired Hayley to take care of our emotionally sensitive Pomeranian and friendly cat for three weeks while we were traveling in Thailand, Vietnam, and Korea. We were very impressed with Hayley's overall care, attention to detail, and consistent communication during our trip. We relaxed SO much because of her awesome updates, photos, and videos of Ninja and Puddy. Our home was clean, organized, and the pets were happy and healthy upon our return. She even created a gorgeous portrait of Ninja in charcoal pencil which is so amazing that we’re going to have it framed and hang it in 'her room' of our house for next time! Hayley is honest, trustworthy, and very sweet. We will be requesting Hayley every time we go on a trip... she is outstanding!”
“Jaquan did an amazing job with our two frenchies and left the home cleaner than when we left, with two happy puppies. We will definitely reach out to him again for our needs.”
“I absolutely adore Christina. She took such great care of my 4 fur babies (3 dogs, 1 cat) while I was gone this month. They loved her too! Even the youngest dog, Simone, who barks at EVERYONE, warmed up to her quickly and let Christina place the collar and leash on so that she could go on a walk, which she had not done for any previous sitter! She gave amazing care to my senior dog, Sophie, who has a weak bladder now. Christina followed my instructions better than I follow them myself and thus Sophie not only had no accidents in the house, but also never soiled a diaper! I came home to a clean house and happy babies-I could not recommend Christina more strongly!”
“Oriana took care of our home, 2 dogs, 2 cats, 2 rabbits, and ball python for 11 nights. She is a life saver. She sent frequent pictures and updates. We arrived home to a clean house and happy animals. She was responsive to text messages immediately. I would definitely recommend Oriana and we will certainly ask her to house/pet sit again.”
“Kiet did an amazing job watching my fur babies!! He kept me updated the whole trip and I knew they were in great hands allowing me to actually enjoy my time away. Definitely recommend booking with him!”
“Ellen was great!! We came back home to a very happy Peaky and a spotless apartment (dishes and linen all cleaned too!). Peaky can sometimes be a shy cat but he became friends with Ellen very quickly. We also appreciated the regular communication/updates and pics. Would love to have her sit Peaky again!”
“Mariella is an excellent pet sitter, we could not have asked for a better first time experience. She is very attentive to both the pet's and the owner's needs; from the meet and greet to the when we got home after our trip. I would highly recommend the use of her services for any future trips. Thanks again Mariella, you are the best.”
“Morgan is so friendly, accommodating and very obviously loves animals- I felt so comfortable asking her to take care of our pup! She sent us updates and photos during the Rover booking which h we really appreciated. Would definitely book with her again if we needed help!”
“Mehma was patient and understanding. The bridge was closed on our way home when she was babysitting Luca. So we were late. Mehma was great about it. Always a smile and a positive attitude.”
“Dorothy was amazing! She took such good care of our new puppy. Our puppy is still house training and Dorothy was very attentive and helped support her learning. She was also a great houseguest- leaving the place spotless. I’ll definitely be calling her again.”
About: I’ve always loved animals and have several years of experience caring for pets of all sizes and personalities. I’m patient, attentive, and make sure every pet feels safe and comfortable while their owner is away. I’m currently living at home with my parents for the summer so I have all week to play with, love and be with your pets I have 2 friendly dogs with a fenced yard to keep your pet active. I also love playing/cuddling with the dogs so they will be comfy and loved.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Winters
I knew from the moment that Christina came over to meet our dogs that they would be in good hands- she is so calm and unflappable, and clearly understands how important it is to have someone who is reliable and communicative when leaving your pet babies with someone else. Our house was in impeccable condition and our dogs seemed to relaxed- given that they are slow to trust, this is about as high of praise as I can give. We will absolutely be asking Christina back as often as she can to watch our girls ❤️
Nianna was beyond efficient, caring and communicative. We have an older pet who needed much attention and medications. Nianna provided tender care. We also have a lab and he fell in love with Nianna. Nianna left our home spotless when she left, as well. I can't recommend her more and will definitely be using her services again!!!

FAQs for House Sitting - Winters
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Winters on Rover is $49.4 per night (as of August 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 .
As of August 2026, there are 2,211 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Winters. 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 Winters 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 Winters 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 Winters 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Winters. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
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.
