“Amanda did a great job with both our babies. We really appreciated her coming by for the initial meet and greet so they would be receptive to her after we left, it made all the difference. She will most certainly be our choice for future stays, we were lucky to have found her. Thank you Amanda for being such a wonderful option in our babies lives.”
“This was our second time booking with Kasianay and it won't be our last! Our dog, Mable, loves spending time with her. She is an excellent house sitter and did a fantastic job communicating with us while we were away.”
About: I have cared for many dogs of all sizes, personalities, and ages. I am a very calm individual with emergency training and you can guarantee your pet will be in good hands. I have owned a pet in all stages of my life and believe their presence makes this world a little easier. The owning and watching of pets has greatly improved my lifestyle helping me to stay active and in nature. Your dog will not be left unsupervised in any situation and crated if 100% necessary. Potty breaks, play, and mental stimulation will be often and fun. I am sure to follow any special instructions and learn your pets.
“Naya did a wonderful job taking care of our two rambunctious boys while we were out of the country for a week. She sent regular updates and pictures while we were gone and was very responsive when we reached out. We came home to happy dogs and a clean house - nothing better than that!!”
“Lanae was beyond kind to our two mini dachshunds. They have anxiety and are less than a year old, so they can be a hand full. She also stayed at our house and left everything as is. She was communicative and sent pictures often. Our two little dogs were sad to see her go. 💜 There was a small billing issue with Rover and she was quick to call and work it out. I’d 100% recommend Lanae. I could not say enough good things about her!”
“Highly recommend Olivia and we will definitely use her again!! So caring and really spent some quality time with our dog. He is older and she gave him so much attention and really cared for him. Sent lots of photos and videos. Very communicative… and just such a sweet young lady.”
“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.”
“Coleman is a phenomenal human. I was incredibly comfortable leaving my pets in their care. Very personable and a comfortable person to be around. I wasn't even concerned with checking in, Coleman has a very trusting energy. I got plenty of updates and everything was taken care and then some! Coleman is very helpful and capable of any task thrown their way, Thank you for being so awesome Coleman!”
“Tiana was the absolute best. This was our first time hiring a house sitter for our three babies and Tiana put at us ease during our vacation. She was the best at and our dogs enjoyed her like family. Will look forward to booking her again very soon. ❤️”
“Rachel was fantastic! We went out of town for a week and she made sure that all 5 of our fur babies were safe and well taken care of. She checked in with us frequently and sent us pictures of all of our babies. We also came home to a clean house, which was a great way to end a vacation. We highly recommend her, it’s great knowing your kids are with someone who enjoys our pets as if they were her own.”
“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!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs through every stage of life, from raising puppies to supporting senior dogs with medical needs. My last dog was with me for 15 years and eventually became blind-she was also epileptic, so I’m very comfortable with patience, medication routines, senior care, and providing calm, attentive support to anxious or aging pets. I currently have a well-socialized 2-year-old Mini Schnauzer that I raised from 8 weeks old, so I understand the importance of structure, consistency, exercise, and positive interaction. As a retired military veteran, I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and home full time, which means pets in my care receive a lot of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. I genuinely enjoy creating a calm, safe environment where pets feel comfortable and loved while their owners are away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I’m retired and home full time. I have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, feeding, medication support if needed, and lots of supervision throughout the day. Because I don’t have children or a demanding work schedule, I’m able to give pets consistent attention and maintain a calm, low-stress environment. In my home, pets have access to a safe, calm environment with a fenced yard for supervised outdoor time, exercise, and potty breaks. I also have a friendly 2-year-old Mini Schnauzer who enjoys the company of other dogs. I follow each pet owner’s instructions closely regarding feeding schedules, walks, routines, medications, crate preferences, and exercise needs. I understand how important consistency is for pets, especially when they’re away from their owners. In a client’s home, I focus on keeping pets comfortable by maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible while also making sure they receive attention, affection, exercise, and attentive care.
“Amanda is great! She is a great communicator, both during the stay and leading up to the stay. She left the house in immaculate condition and sent photos or our pup every day. We will definitely be booking her in the future!”
“Ashley was such a help when we had to change our Labor Day plans at the last minute! Our pups loved snuggling with her and she even managed medications and walking the two of them.”
“Gabby is fantastic!!!! She sent multiple photos and videos every single day! She was so professional and sweet! Let our home looking beautiful! My pup is happy healthy and looks like he had a blast! Thank you!!”
“Jasmine has taken care of our animals several times and has done a great job each time. I like having consistency when it comes to our animals caregiver and Jasmine is who we use exclusively.”
“I needed a last minute dog sitter and Kendall was kind enough to agree to help. She was great and did such a good job taking care of my Ellie and provided photos and updates throughout her stay. She even left a sweet gift for me upon my return. Would definitely have her take care of Ellie again!”
“Eric was a great dog and house sitter, he took care of everything as we discussed. He was on time and quick to respond with any questions we had. He even took care of the laundry for the sheets and towels he used! Highly recommend him!”

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 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 3,394 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Winterthur Woods. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
