“We are so thankful for Amanda! She took such great care of our elderly dog over the weekend and went above and beyond to make sure she was comfortable and well cared for. Her communication was excellent, she showed up early, and he even went the extra mile by cleaning the sheets afterwards. Truly wonderful experience. We felt completely at ease knowing our pup was in such caring hands. Highly recommend!”
“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!”
“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 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: Hi, I’m Tia! As a lifelong animal lover, a mom, and a proud pet parent to three fur babies of my own, I know exactly how much trust it takes to leave your four-legged family member in someone else's care. That’s why my promise to you is simple: I will treat your pet exactly like my own. I am incredibly blessed to live on over a full acre of land, giving your dog plenty of room to safely run, explore, and play to their heart's content. With over 10 years of experience as both a pet owner and a dedicated dog sitter, I am well-versed in managing different personalities, energy levels, and routines. Whether your pup wants to spend the day fetching in the big backyard or curling up on the couch for some family snuggle time, they’ll find a safe, loving, and attentive environment here. I work from home with a flexible working schedule. I am an early birds, and I love to get out and about taking walks with my kids and just spending time as a family. I typically like to meet your animals energy needs where they are. I have two dogs both super sweet and friendly. One senior and one middle aged. Both of girls will gladly keep your pups company and play with them. Or give them space as needed. It's definitely an adjustment coming to a new home even for a few days so we give your animals space if needed or time to adjust.
“Blythe was fantastic! She did everything I asked to T. The dogs were happy, the communication was great, and I came home to a clean house! She didn’t need to take my dogs on walks every day, but she still did. If you need someone very trustworthy and responsible, I highly recommend her!”
“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. ❤️”
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.
“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!”
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. The owning n 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.
“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.”
About: I have taken care of dogs of all sizes. From a Pug to a Great Dane. I’ve been professionally doing this for about 6 years. I’ve taken care of young pups who require extensive play time and old pups who just want to snuggle and be loved. I just moved to GA and I’m awaiting approval of my OT license which is taking longer than expected. So I have lots of free time and I’m looking for some extra cash while caring for animals that I love! I have a genuine love for animals and always strive to keep them happy by playing and snuggling with them while their family is away.
About: I started caring for pets in school by looking after classmates pets and later helping neighbors. I’ve been around animals my whole life and currently have four French Bulldogs who are like my sons. I love treating pets as family, celebrating their lives, and including them in my daily routine whenever possible. I have experience with both puppies and senior pets. I am patient, reliable, and attentive, and I always make sure pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. I am currently on vacation, which allows me to have a flexible schedule to play with, walk, and fully care for your pet. I am available from 10:00 AM to 9:00 PM, both weekdays and weekends. I provide reliable and attentive care in the client’s home. I always follow instructions carefully, respect the home, and ensure pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I give them exercise, attention, and affection to keep them happy and relaxed.
“I had such a great experience! From the moment we met, she was kind, reliable, and clearly cared so much about our dogs. She kept me updated with photos and messages, followed our dogs’ routine, and made sure they felt comfortable and loved while I was away. We came home to happy, well cared for pups and a clean home, which gave us so much peace of mind. I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone”
“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: Hey guys! I’m an Army Veteran with 20 years of dog care experience. I have two dogs myself and trained my Cane Corso puppy to be a Service Dog. I understand that our dogs are our family. I am very friendly and accommodating and I will do anything I can to take good care of your pets. I look forward to speaking with you about how I can provide excellent service to you and your pets! I am currently in school and have plenty of time to care for your pets. I can accommodate any schedule and facilitate whatever you or your pet needs. I am very dependable and trustworthy. Whether I have your pets in my home or yours, you will receive adequate communication and pictures so you can rest easy knowing that your pet is in good hands. Your pet will be treated as if they were my own.
“Diana was great! She did a fantastic job. She kept us informed of how things were going and sent us photos throughout her stay. Would definitely recommend her to anyone and hope to book her again!”
“Ashley was so wonderful with our pup! She came when we needed a last minute dog sitter and sent the best photo updates while we were out! We would definitely call Ashley again—she’s great and will take good care of your pup!”
About: What sets me apart is the level of care, patience, and empathy I bring to every pet I look after. As a pet parent myself, I understand that pets are family—not just animals. Recently, I experienced the loss of my own beloved fur baby, which deepened my appreciation for the trust pet owners place in someone caring for their pets. That experience reinforced how important it is for pets to feel safe, loved, and comfortable when their owners are away. I pay close attention to each pet's personality, routine, and individual needs, whether that means extra playtime, a slower pace for a senior pet, or simply providing companionship and reassurance. I pride myself on being dependable, communicative, and detail-oriented. Pet parents can expect regular updates, photos, and the peace of mind that comes from knowing their pet is receiving genuine care and attention. My goal is not just to watch your pet—it's to make them feel cared for, understood, and loved while you're away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work a structured schedule that allows me to plan dedicated time for walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I enjoy being active and spending time with animals, so providing consistent care, attention, and updates to pet parents is something I genuinely look forward to. Whether it's maintaining a pet's regular routine, administering medications if needed, or simply providing extra affection and exercise, I make sure each pet receives personalized care and attention. I believe every pet is happiest when their routine is respected, so I take the time to learn each pet's feeding schedule, exercise needs, preferences, and any special instructions. In both my home and a client's home, I prioritize safety, comfort, and consistency. When caring for pets in a client's home, I strive to maintain their normal routine as closely as possible through regular walks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of affection. I also provide updates and photos so pet parents can feel confident and connected while they're away. When caring for pets in my home, I create a calm, pet-friendly environment where they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and supervision. I monitor pets closely, ensure they have access to fresh water, comfortable resting areas, and opportunities for play and enrichment throughout the day. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for while giving owners peace of mind knowing their furry family member is in good hands.
“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!”

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.
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.
