“As always, Destinee does a great job of taking care of our "Kids"!! They love the way she pampers them with pets, belly rubs and having their pictures taken. She is just excellent with watching over them, you could not ask for a better person to take care of your "kids" ( the furry ones)”

About: grew up surrounded by pets, so caring for them comes naturally. My experience looking after children makes me patient, responsible, and loving — the same way I care for every dog or cat, as if they were part of my own family. I am available for pet care from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM, as I work with children in the afternoons. During this time, I can provide feeding, playtime, walks, medication administration, and lots of attention to ensure pets feel safe and happy. I’m flexible with occasional early mornings or later pickups if needed I ensure pets feel safe and comfortable whether in my home or theirs. I create a calm and clean environment, provide fresh food and water, and supervise them at all times. I follow any specific instructions from the owner, including medication or special care, and make sure pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, and affection.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and absolutely love all types of dogs! I’ve grown up caring for and walking my own dogs from a young age, and I’ve trained them to be happy, well-behaved pups. I had my black Lab from the time I was 6, along with four other dogs throughout my life, so I’m very comfortable caring for dogs with all different personalities, ages, and needs. I’m also comfortable with senior dogs, puppies, and dogs who need a little extra care or attention. I have a comfortable home where your dog can feel safe and relaxed. I’m very flexible and happy to work with your schedule and your dog’s normal routine. My goal is to care for your pup exactly as you would and make sure they get plenty of love, attention, playtime, and cuddles! 🐶❤️ I’m friendly and comfortable around all types of dogs and would love the opportunity to meet your furry friend. I can’t wait to help give you peace of mind while you’re away! 🐾 I have a flexible schedule and can work with different routines and care needs. I’m happy to plan walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays around your pet’s normal schedule and make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and care. I always prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness. In my home, I have plenty of space, toys, and crates if needed. I will also follow your instructions closely and keep your pet’s normal routine as consistent as possible. When caring for pets in their home, I treat their space with the same respect and care I would my own.

About: I’ve had my own dog since early on in my childhood until adulthood. I started rover, when I still had my 11 year old golden retriever, he has recently passed away but I loved our daily walks and understand the need for a dog walker sometimes! I understand the needs of a dog and how dogs need attention. I’ve dog sat other dogs for my friends and have always been a dog lover since early on and love meeting new dogs! I am currently a full time registered nurse working nights. I will try to update my schedule on a regular basis as pet care would be worked into my days off & my schedule does vary every month! I care for other pets as if they were my own. I understand being a pet owner how I would want someone else to treat my dog with the same love.

“Daniella was the best person I have chosen to look after my dog when I was away for 7 days. I have a small dog ,he is scared with strangers but she knows how exactly to handle him. She built the trust and they became friends. She did a lot during the 7 days drop-in-visit, such as cleaning the dog’s pee pads, walking him, playing with him,giving treats, changing water and food. My dog loves her company and even make friends with her cute little chihuahua. Absolutely amazing!! Definitely will book again in the future .”

About: I’ve been an owner and cared for pets from a very young age. My first ‘jobs’ as a young kid were walking family members’ dogs and pet sitting for them. Since then I’ve loved doing this for friends and hoping to do more! I am looking to house sit and do drop-in care, but not currently looking to host pets in my space as I have 3 cats and my landlord does not allow dogs in the apartment. I'm currently working full time on a hybrid schedule. I go to the office 3 days a week and the other two days are spent at home when I am remote. On the weekends, my schedule is mostly flexible unless I have plans to attend to. I am a loving pet owner who is very attentive to my pets’ needs. I am happy to meet all of your pet care needs, as dictated by you. I am looking to house sit and do drop-in care, but not currently looking to host pets in my space as I have 3 cats and my landlord does not allow dogs in the apartment.

“Samantha has been amazing. From our initial meet and greet to multiple visits with my kitten, she has been thoroughly communicative, polite, and professional. She has great attention to detail and went above and beyond in providing updates. She even put the cat food away neater than I had left it for her. As a first time pet parent, I felt very comforted that my cat was in kind and safe hands. Beyond feeding, I mainly wanted a companion for my kitten as she is young, and Samantha played with all her favorite toys with her. I’d trust her with anyone’s pet, and I can’t wait to use her services again. Thank you Samantha!”

About: I have had one dog in the past. Her name is Gigi and she is a golden doodle. She is an extremely active dog who keeps me active 24/7. She loves to cuddle and play and is so caring with people and other animals. The most unique characteristic about Gigi is that she has been obedient since the day we got her. Her training was so simple and easy to do. Training her was so easygoing that I learned enough to train my best friends dog Mia. I think having such a sweet puppy like Gigi made it even more fun to care and train for dogs. I trained Gigi and Mia to be able to remain calm in stressful/overstimulating moments, they are both well skilled in recognizing hand and verbal signals. Both are well behaved when hey are not wearing a leash and also very well in controlling impulsive behavior. I currently work full time so I am available in the afternoons. I am off by 5pm. I am available every weekend, all day. I do plan on having a more flexible schedule in the next 2 months. I personally do not have any pets at the moment. I have had 1 pet in the past and have been trusted by a few friends to care after their pets. I always ask the owner the basic information I need regarding their pets and do my best to ensure a fun and safe environment for all animals!

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Winthrop

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Winthrop is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $39 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 9,767 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Winthrop. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

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 Winthrop 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!

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 .

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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Winthrop with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Winthrop. On Rover:

  • 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 89% 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.

sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
