“As all other pet owners have written, Christie does not disappoint! Super attentive to the animals and their needs, and going above and beyond the call of duty. Christie braved walking our crazy bark at everything that moves outside dog twice daily, Wow! Our home was well taken care of and we really appreciate everything Christie did to ensure our pets were safe and well cared for! Thank you so much, Christie! You are greatly appreciated 😻⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Danielle was absolutely wonderful! From the moment she arrived we received updates on our 2 pups. She sent photos and let us know when they had eaten, done their business, gone for walks, etc. She handled our senior dogs medication flawlessly, and their special feeding instructions were carried out perfectly. Both our dogs truly enjoyed their time with her, she was a blessing to our family while we were away. 10/10 would recommend Danielle, and will use her again in the future.”
“Vivien did an excellent job caring for my aging feline on the 4th of July when I had to be away from her. Throughout the evening of fireworks explosions, Vivien kept my Kitty calm and soothed her so that she felt safe. She stayed with her overnight and left when all was well the next morning. The peace of mind this gave me was tremendous. Her communication with me was excellent and she left my home in the same great condition that she found it. I definitely recommend Vivien for you Feline or Canine pet sitting needs and for overnight stays if necessary. I will definitely be calling on Vivian again for her pet care services.”
“Updated me frequently and sent plenty of pictures. She even took the time to give our dog lengthy brushing sessions and had playtime that allowed him to run multiple times a day”
“Jenna was an exceptional House Sitter. She went above and beyond to make sure that our fur babies were well taken care of. She was punctual and attentive. The house was nice and clean when I returned. She’s very communicative and sent photos often. We will definitely be using her again.”
About: I’ve taken care of all types of animals pretty much since I could walk. My family has had chickens, quail, pigs, horses, goats, guinea pigs, and of course dogs and cats! I’ve also worked as a ranch hand at a goat farm for 2+ years. Currently the only doggie I can call my own is my sweet Nala. She is a mini schnauzer who loves people and is quick to play with other pups. I currently work part time and attend college on Mondays and Wednesdays. So I can almost always sit or board Thursday-Saturday. I love walking and jogging so I’m always up for that. I’m currently in the midst of moving into an apartment with my best friend who also owns a friendly collie named Josie. And I have my sweet Nala. I will be able to board in the future but it will probably not be till September-October.
About: With years of hands-on experience caring for both energetic puppies and aging senior pets, I bring patience, attention to detail, and genuine love for animals. I’ve administered medications, handled special dietary needs, and trained basic commands. My goal is to create a safe, loving environment while you’re away, so your pets feel calm, happy, and well-cared for. I treat every animal as if they were my own, ensuring consistent routines and lots of affection. Whether it’s long walks, belly rubs, or managing health needs, I’m here to help your pet thrive. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I structure my day around feeding times, potty breaks, walks, and play sessions. Whether I’m working remotely or running errands, I make sure pets receive consistent attention and companionship throughout the day. I’m flexible and can easily adjust my schedule to meet the specific needs of each pet, including early mornings, evenings, or multiple check-ins per day. I prioritize safety and comfort above all. In my home or yours, I create a calm, pet-friendly environment free from hazards. I follow all care instructions closely—whether it’s administering medication, monitoring food intake, or reinforcing training. I build trust through gentle, consistent interaction, always respecting each pet’s personality and boundaries. If I’m in your home, I treat it with the utmost respect and keep your pet’s routine as normal as possible to reduce stress.
About: I’ve cared for birds, chickens, ducks, and dogs—there’s nothing I can’t handle! I’ve wanted to be a vet since Kindergarten, and pet sitting is the closest I’ve gotten so far. I am a college student so I might be out of your house for 2 hours or so but I’ll always let you know. I’m always available to watch the babies. I make sure to take the dogs out frequently and mostly love on the pups if I can’t cuddle your dog/dogs please don’t book me.
About: I’ve had a pet dog since I was 12. One of my favorite things is greeting an animal. Walking and litter boxes do not intimidate me! I work part time for a golf course and attend Athens State. My schedule is flexible. I don’t mind staying overnight if I am given a day to prepare. I like to tend to their restroom needs first, whether that is letting them out or cleaning the litter box first. Playing with animals is fun and good to get some energy out.
About: I have years of experience dog sitting through TrustedHousesitters, where I’ve cared for pets with different personalities, sizes, and needs. I also spent a summer volunteering at a local animal shelter, which gave me experience working with animals of all shapes and sizes. I have dogs and a cat of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your pets. I will treat your pets with the same love, patience, and care that I give my own animals. Whether your pet loves playtime, cuddles, walks, or just someone to keep them company, I’m happy to make them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’m currently working part-time at a restaurant. I only work MIDS on Fridays (normally 12:30-8:30) and Sunday mornings. Any other days I have full flexibility. I always try to make pets feel as comfortable and stress-free as possible. I follow their normal routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and any special instructions provided by the owner. I know every pet has a different personality and comfort level, so I adjust my care to fit their needs. Some pets want lots of playtime and attention, while others prefer a calmer environment and space. I also make sure owners stay updated with pictures and messages so they can feel confident their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for while they’re away. I also tend to stay very close to the house. I like to stay with the animals.

FAQs for House Sitting - Winton
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 370 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Winton. 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 Winton 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 Winton 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 Winton 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
