“Virginia was great/ she kept me informed the whole time, sent me plenty of pictures and videos. Our pups are not high maintenance by any means but I like for them to stay active and not just lay around and she did a good job of keeping them entertained through out the day. Will be using her for drop ins that how much we enjoyed her !”
About: I’m very well around with pets, not only am I good in pet care I’m also a dog groomer (8 years) so I know a lot about animals and what they need. I’m doing this full time so I have so much time on my hands to spend with your furry babies. Plus I love walking and doing play dates or just going on a hike. I have two wonderful playful dogs who would love to make friends and join us on our hiking or long walk days. Even to just come to the dog park with us.
“Drii was wonderful from the moment we setup a meet and greet with our dogs. She was super communicative and sent lots of pics and updates and most importantly, we came home to happy pups after 8 days away! Drii also carried out the non dog requests we had and we could not recommend Drii enough!!!”
About: Hello, I have had dogs my whole life , grew up with them. Around the age of 10 yrs. old I really took an interest I took vet classes during school , I am able to administer medication, notice when something is wrong immediately. I have a job that allows me to be flexible , my pups and I go on 2 walks a day and play in the back yard all day! I have a fenced in yard that is 7 ft tall & turf . On warmer days I break out the kitty pool for them to swim and get the zoomies out. I have 2 extra spare bedrooms your dogs crate can go in , or they are open to sleep on any bed or couch! There is no where in my house that’s pets aren’t allowed they’re family!
“Absolutely amazing dog sitter! Rachel took such great care of our dogs and kept us updated the whole time with photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind. We would absolutely book with Rachel again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!”
About: As an experienced dog trainer and devoted dog lover, I have trained three dogs, including my current therapy dog. I have worked with all breeds, both large and small, and I understand the unique needs of each. I enjoy being active and spending time outdoors, often hiking and walking with dogs. I prioritize their well-being and am committed to providing attentive care and encouragement. As a teacher, I am organized and reliable, with multiple references available upon request. I look forward to ensuring your dog receives the care and exercise they deserve. As a part-time teacher, I have a flexible schedule that allows me ample time to check in on your pets. Whether it's for daily walks, playtime, or feeding, I can accommodate your pet's needs throughout the week. Rest assured that your furry family members will receive the attention and care they deserve while you are away. Let me know how I can assist you in keeping your pets happy and healthy! Welcome to my home, where your furry friends will feel right at home! I have a spacious, fenced-in yard featuring a safe, grassy turf area for plenty of playtime. There’s also a pool that is securely fenced off, providing peace of mind while your pets enjoy the outdoors. The large play area includes agility tools for those who want to engage in some fun training sessions, as well as a variety of dog toys for endless entertainment. Additionally, there’s a designated sniffing area where dogs can explore their natural instincts. It's a well-equipped space for dogs to play, explore, and relax!
“Makayla was fantastic! She was attentive, reliable, and always arrived early. She stayed overnight in our home while we were out of town, caring for our two dogs, and gave us complete peace of mind. Our dogs were well cared for, happy, and comfortable throughout our trip. She also took great care of our home, leaving everything clean, organized, and exactly as we left it. We truly appreciated her professionalism and communication, and we would gladly have her watch our dogs again. Highly recommend!”
About: I stand out because I genuinely treat every pet like my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I’m attentive, patient, and active, so I can keep up with energetic pets while also providing gentle care for seniors who need a slower pace. I’m experienced with basic training for younger pets, including reinforcing routines and good behavior, and I’m always mindful of each pet’s unique personality and needs. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pet is in caring, reliable hands. I currently work form and run my business from my house , so pet sitting will just be another great addition to my around the house activities. I have a 1300 sq ft back yard that is fenced safe and pet secured , once I meet each pet I learn their personality and traits and then we work on building a routine that works for them .
About: I’ve taken care of animals all my life. I’m used to being around several types of animals but I’ve always loved dogs. My family and I enjoy taking walks and we enjoy taking fur babies out for a walk. I’m pretty flexible with my schedule. I am also able to make adjustments when needed. If there is anything specifically your fur baby is use to as far as routine, please share. I will make adjustments as needed to best adjust to the routine the client already has with their dog. For boarding, dogs will be allowed to be running around the backyard. Also, they are able to freely be around the house.
“Kailyn did a great job house sitting. Phoebe’s eating schedule was followed, and Kailyn stayed in consistent communication with me. Thank you Kailyn, I came home to a happy dog🤗 Will definitely use Kailyn again in the future.”
About: Since I was a little girl I have always loved animals and wanted to be a veterinarian. Growing up I have raised and fostered over 20+ dogs, cats/kittens. I have also had the blessing of being able to raise a couple of ducks, geese, chickens, rabbits, and some reptiles. Had my mother let me, I would have requested a whole farm, however there were other important teachings in my adolescent years. Pet care easily fits into my flexible schedule as I am completely remote. My company is based out of Ohio and is mostly administration work which allows me the blessing to travel with my laptop and work from anywhere. I have a large backyard and a doggy door. I have three lynx point siamese kittens. All of my pets are fully vaccinated. I have three loving kids and a vast 5 bedroom home. I ask that we are completely open about your furbabys needs, so I can prepare at making them feel like they are on a vacation. And that you have peace of mind while they are here being cared for. If you’re on vacation, your babies should be too. Pet care fits into my schedule 24:7. I am completely remote and can assure you that your fur baby will receive top notch hospitality, love and attention. You should feel safe leaving your furbaby here when traveling. I always prefer a tour of our home with your pet so they feel at ease when the time comes for drop off. Furbabys can sense their owners emotions when entering a new place.
“Jessica was absolutely wonderful staying with our cats for the week. She followed all care instructions closely, kept everything clean (especially around the litter boxes and any accidents), and was very attentive to their needs. One thing that really stood out was how comfortable the cats were with her. She has a calm, steady presence that they really responded to—even our most shy cat, who usually hides from new people, came out during meals, which says a lot. She was also a great communicator—anytime she needed to step out, she kept me informed, although it was rare. I really appreciated how present she was in the home overall. She took great care of Kiki, including handling her urinary accidents with patience and consistency, which gave me a lot of peace of mind while I was away. Overall, Jessica was reliable, respectful of our home, and clearly cares about the animals she looks after. I would absolutely book with her again.”
About: I have pet sat cats, dogs, fish, and hamsters! I get most of my jobs off facebook or instagram outside of this pet sitting app. I work part time so I would still have to able to leave for work if pet sitting and if walking or visiting I would be able to visit outside of my work schedule. I follow whatever instructions are left for me and follow them as close as possible. I personally don’t own any pets because my roommates are allergic.
“Isiah was great. He has a wonderful knowledge of dogs. He brings his own training toys and works with them on walks. He sent lots of photos which I love. The house was clean and nice when we returned home. He is a must hire. He was very prompt at returning text.”
About: What sets me apart is that I’ve had hands-on experience caring for multiple dogs with different needs and sizes. When I was younger, I helped my mom care for her boss’s four dogs, and once I got my driver’s license, I took over caring for them on my own. That included two small dogs and two extra-large dogs, so I’m comfortable handling dogs of all sizes. I’m dependable, patient, and make sure every dog gets the attention, exercise, and care they need. I’m confident following feeding schedules, giving medications if instructions are provided, cleaning up after pets, and making sure they feel safe and loved while their owners are away. Pet care fits very well into my routine right now. I recently graduated from cosmetology school and am currently studying for my state licensing exam, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to caring for pets. Because I’m home most of the day, I can provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of attention. I’m reliable, responsive, and happy to work around each pet’s normal routine to make sure they feel comfortable while their owner is away. My top priority is making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions for feeding, potty breaks, walks, medications (if needed), and routines to keep things as normal as possible. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and make sure they always have fresh water, plenty of attention, and a clean environment. I also keep doors and gates securely closed, avoid unsafe situations, and send regular photo and text updates so owners know their pets are happy and well cared for. I treat every pet and home with the same respect and care I would my own.
About: I have had multiple pets of my own! I have trained all of my own animals from when they were super young puppies/ kittens! Neighbors, friends and family have all relied on me for care of their fur babies! I’m currently working part time so I have all the time to care for your fur babies! I am available all day on the weekends and most day during the week! You should care for animals the way I do with my own! All animals will be loved, cared, walked (if needed), and cleaned up after!
About: Jade- My family has always had a dog since before I was born, so my experience in caring for dogs is lifelong. We’ve always had them indoors so I understand the patience needed with potty training, crate training, jumping, biting, and many other puppy tendencies. Additionally, having senior dogs in the past I understand the patience and understanding needed when it comes to caring for a senior dog, whether it be their slow pace or their natural body functions. I also have a 6 year old female bearded dragon, and I have roughly 10 years experience with them between myself and pet sitting. Jade/Jose- We got our dog Kortez in 2020 and he had extreme separation anxiety from us. Over the years we have learned the extra love that these types of dogs need and now our buddy is able to be home alone, free roaming the house and can nap calmly and comfortably until we return. We’ve been cat owners for nearly 6 years now, and have no experience with senior cats. One of our cats we have had since we had to nurse him as a kitten. I currently work full time for 3 days a week on the weekends. I have pretty flexible availability and have an easier time being able to fit the schedule of others. I have confidence in my experience with pets that I can accommodate to the pets needs in a way that makes you and your fur baby feel comfortable. I firmly believe in building a trusting and friendly relationship with the animal, because without their trust you are hurting more than helping. I have stayed over at many friends and family’s houses to pet sit, as the animal’s home environment is the place it feels safest.
“This is the second time I’ve used sierra to watch my dogs. She is incredibly attentive and very communicative. She did a great job taking care of them and is also very trustworthy for house sitting. Will definitely continue to use her when I need to.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Wintersburg
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 440 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Wintersburg. 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 Wintersburg 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 Wintersburg 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 Wintersburg 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 Wintersburg. On Rover:
- 97% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 100% 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.
