“Lanae did amazing with my two pups! I have an older greyhound and young golden retriever who have the exact opposite personalities haha. She did wonderful with both! She kept me updating throughout the day and sent wonderful pictures to let me know my pups were doing well. I am so grateful for the time she spent with them while we were away. I would recommend her to anyone Loki g for a wonderful dog/house sitter.”
“Amanda was awesome with our two pups! We were gone for five days and arrived home to happy dogs and a perfect house. She was also really thorough communicating with us and you can tell she is full of love for animals!”
“This was our first time using a pet sitting service and it was absolutely amazing! Aniyah is so sweet and kind and she treated our Kingston like her own from the very first time of meeting him. Aniyah sent us pictures and updates throughout the whole stay which made us feel so relieved and comfortable knowing our boy was being well looked after. If you're looking for a dog sitter we highly recommend Aniyah, she was the best!!”
About: I worked at a boarding facility for 4½ years, where I gained hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. I supervised group play, giving me a strong understanding of dog body language and behavior, and I also cared for dogs by feeding them and maintaining clean, comfortable spaces. In addition, I’m a certified dog bather, so bathing services are available if needed. I’ve also been house sitting and caring for dogs for many years, and I truly enjoy getting to know every pet I meet. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family members!🫶🏼 I currently have a flexible schedule with open availability for overnight house sitting for both dogs and cats, dog walking, and drop-in visits. I’m committed to providing reliable, loving care and keeping your pets happy, safe, and comfortable while you’re away I make sure every pet gets the care and attention they deserve. Dogs enjoy plenty of exercise, outdoor time, play, and lots of love, while cats receive patient, attentive care in the comfort of their own home. Whether I’m walking your dog, staying overnight, or caring for your cat, my goal is to keep your pets happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away
“This is the second time we book Blythe (first was just drop-ins). Recently, My husband and I went out of town for work, and Blythe stayed all 5 days at our house to take care of our furry babies. The peace of mind knowing our three kitties (one is a kitten with some health issues) stayed in the comfort of their environment/home was priceless! She not only ensured they were fed, but Blythe also gave the kitten his meds several times a day, every single day. She played with them, sent a bunch of pictures of their sillyness, and communicated everyday. She is truly the best! We’re blessed to have found Blythe, and we recommend her 100%. She’s now my official go-to sitter. She’s also an amazing, lovely woman. Her positive and jovial personality is just what we need more of in this world! Thank you, Blythe!!”
“Tiana was absolutely incredible. I definitely plan to book with her again and very soon. She took care of my dog and took care of my home while I was gone. I had no worries no concerns. She stayed in contact with me continuously throughout the time book with her if you have an opportunity to.”
About: Raised and cared for many dogs of all sizes, personalities, and ages. I am a calm individual with emergency training. I am comfortable with dogs that’s may have certain behavioral issues. we all need love and guidance!!!! I have owned a dog in all stages of my life and believe that their presence make this world a little easier.

“Emily is absolutely amazing! She will treat your pets as her own and gives them so much love and attention! She is a great communicator, responsible and flexible to your schedule. Our 2 dogs had a great time with her! Highly recommend Emily for you fur babies!!”
About: I’ve been around dogs and cats my entire life and have experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities! 🐾 I’ve looked after energetic puppies and kittens, adult pets, and senior pets, as well as dogs and cats recovering from illness or surgery who needed extra patience, attention, and gentle care. I’m comfortable caring for multiple pets at once and can keep up with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, litter box care, medication routines if needed, and plenty of love and attention. If your dog enjoys long walks and fetch or your cat prefers quiet companionship and cozy naps, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. 🦴🧶 I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family and will keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind. 🐶🐱❤️ Pet sitting is my primary focus, which allows me to have open availability and provide your pets with the time, attention, and care they need. 🗓️ I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment for every pet I care for. I follow each owner’s instructions, maintain their routines, and provide plenty of attention, affection, and updates so you can have peace of mind.
“Jhada is AMAZING!!! She loved on my little munchkin very well was very attentive and communicative when there was any concern. I’m so glad I was able to travel for work without having to stress. Jhada thank you so much.”
“James is fantastic! He has watched our dog (and house) several times. It is obvious that he loves animals and he is very neat and conscientious staying at our house. It has been so helpful having someone we trust to take care of things while we are gone. Highly recommend!”
About: Hi!! As a lifelong dog owner, caring for animals isn’t just something I do — it’s part of who I am. I have experience with dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to gentle senior dogs who need a slower pace and extra attention. I understand that each dog has their own personality and needs, and I’m committed to treating every pet like they’re my own. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or simply keeping them company, I always bring patience, love, and reliability. What sets me apart is my personal connection to pet care — I’m not just a sitter, I’m someone who truly understands the trust it takes to leave your furry family member in someone else’s hands. You won’t just get someone to look after your pet—you’ll get someone who genuinely cares. Pet care fits easily into my lifestyle. I play basketball regularly and have scheduled workouts or weight training during certain parts of the day, but once that’s done, my schedule is wide open. I use that free time to focus on what I enjoy most — spending time with animals. Whether it’s walking, feeding, or just hanging out with your dog, I’m flexible and reliable. Caring for pets blends perfectly into my routine, and I have plenty of time and energy to give them the attention they deserve. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priority. I have a large front yard for supervised play and a long walking trail in my neighborhood that’s perfect for daily exercise. My home is calm, dog-friendly, and a great place for dogs of all ages — whether they’re energetic puppies or mellow seniors. I also have one friendly, playful female dog who loves having company. You can trust that I’ll treat your pup like family, follow your care instructions closely, and make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for at all times.
“JMark was absolutely wonderful. He kept us updated throughout each day he watched our babies with pictures and videos. We were worried that our Malinois would not accept him and she took to him right away. She was attached to him so much so that when we came back it felt like she wanted him instead of us.🤣 JMark is definitely our man for next bookings.”
“Our pets were well taken care of and we didn't have to worry about anything while we were away on vacation! We came home to happy pets and a clean well cared for home. Thank you so much Ariel!”
“Sydney was great! It was my dog’s first pet sitter experience and she was patient with him getting used to her, and had good communication throughout the day. He looked like he was having a great time with her. We definitely will book with her again in the future!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Winterthur Woods
Lanae spent this past weekend with my two fur babies and I was so very impressed with her. She bonded with my pups like nobody ever has. She cuddled with them, played with them and loved on them like they were her own. I felt completely comfortable with her in my home, she kept it clean, communicated regularly and sent photos of my babies every day. She is now a new member of our family! Book her!!! Thank you for everything, Lanae!
Sarah was perfect! It was a last minute booking and she was a godsend. She came to meet me and my dog Tegan before the trip, communicated and sent pictures and it was such a relief for me! She took amazing care of my dog, gave her her medicine and sent me updates. I will definitely use her again and again!
I couldn't be happier with Lori! She took excellent care of my kitty while I was out of town. Not only did she go above and beyond by messaging me with daily updates with photos and videos, but she was also extremely responsive and kind, as well as accommodating when my trip got extended unexpectedly. I will definitely be booking Lori again and again!

FAQs for House Sitting - Winterthur Woods
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Winterthur Woods on Rover is $33.3 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 3,366 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Winterthur Woods. 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 Winterthur Woods 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 Winterthur Woods 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 Winterthur Woods 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.
