“They were wonderful, would highly recommend!! They took the time to get to know my dog, and were so thoughtful and sweet with her. They also sent lots of photo and video updates, which was lovely to receive. Great dog and housesitters, will be booking again :)”
“Lydia took amazing care of our two dogs! Our older husky was suffering from anxiety before we left and he made a miraculous recovery under Lydia's care. She is an effective communicator, she picked us up at the airport, our house was clean and our dogs are happy. We are very happy clients and strongly recommend her, she is a professional!”
About: From Calgary to Costa Rica to the Yukon, I have taken care of dogs, cats and rabbits. I have tons of experience pet sitting and treat all animals like they are my own. I also have experience with senior dogs and cats. I currently work an hybrid job and have a time during the day and in the evening to take care of your pet! Is your pet used to you working from home? I can help! I am unable to board any pets but I am more than willing to visit your home. I always try to make sure I leave any place I visit better than I found it.
“Finn was such a STELLAR sitter. The pics were great and showed how happy and well walked and cared for my trio of dogs were. They’re not easy: two seniors (one with dementia) and all 3 on meds. Finn was perfect with care instructions and even solved my girl’s reluctance to eat by adding water to her food (which I hadn’t thought of). I’m grateful for the excellent care, I could see how much the dogs liked Finn right away. A highly recommended sitter!”
“Krista did a great job cat-sitting and staying at our house while we were away. She was very responsive, took good care of our kitties, and left the house clean and tidy when we returned. I would definitely recommend her and hope to hire her again for our next trip!”
“Reanna was super responsive to texts and sent lots of pics which was much appreciated! Our dog seems to have loved her and everything went smooth and without a hitch. Nothing but good things to say!”
About: Experience taking care of various animals with a variety of needs including senior dogs and behaviourally challenged dogs. Have lived with dogs and cats my entire life! I am currently on maternity leave and plan to return to work part time. This leaves me with a flexible schedule to meet your pets needs! I would love to babysit your furry friends! I have a small fenced area in our yard and 2.5 acres of property. Comfortable taking dogs on walks around the area or playing with them in the yard to tire them out! Have done long term house sits as well, taking care of dogs, cats, and chickens. Pets must be okay with children as we have one child in the home 🙂

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Whitehorse on Rover is $53.95 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Whitehorse 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!
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.
- Garbage & recycling: Taking garbage bins 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 Whitehorse walking routes, the location of your favourite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
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 Whitehorse 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!
You can find what you need to review a sitter on their profile before booking with them. Each sitters’s profile on Rover shows verified reviews, identity check, and ratings to give a glimpse of how their previous visits went. You can also use the Meet & Greet to walk through your home, identifying which areas, like your bedroom, are off-limits or not. Requesting details of your home security through the app can also be a good way to have your sitter keep you updated about your home.
If you have security cameras or doorbells, Rover asks that you disclose them to sitters before you book.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they do not have any disqualifying offences.
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 .
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.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a veterinary professional or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means Rover Support will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
