While she is a relatively new Rover and is still learning all the intricacies when it comes to navigating this line of work, her transparency and openness makes me believe that she will go far in the animal care field.”
“Amber P. provided the most wonderful care for our cat, Prissy. Amber is very communicative and worked with me on the schedule to meet both of our needs.

I am so very grateful for Amber's care of our cat.”

About: Hi! My name is Whitley and I have been pet sitting since I was in high school. Now at nearly 25, I still have a profound love for pets big or small. I have a feisty senior Australian Shepherd with medical issues and two cats. I know how difficult leaving your pet behind can be. Rest assured that when you leave your fur baby with me, they receive the utmost care and are treated like my own. I am currently a part-time student and have a small job working at daycares in the community. With that being said, I have plenty of time to care for your pets! I try to be available for any last minute bookings, including weekends. Due to my senior dog's medical issues, I unfortunately cannot house sit at this time. However, I am available most hours of the day. I care for every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I follow your pet's normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, fresh water, potty breaks or litter box cleaning, and playtime. I provide plenty of love for your pet, and if your pet is shy, plenty of space. With my high energy australian shepherd, I have become accustomed to long play sessions indoors and outdoors. I provide photo updates and communicate regularly.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

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 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.
