Safety, trust & environment

I respect my clients and their pets just like I would my own!! I spend quality time either in the yard, on walks, or in the comfort of your home. I love to give very detailed notes for you on our visits to ensure you know exactly how your pets are doing while you’re away. As a Rover client myself, this is the most important piece of petsitting… communication and trust!!

Information Whitney G. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet needs special medication or has any allergies to anything so we are all safe together. I’d also like to know whether your dogs have any aggression towards other dogs as we may encounter them on walks!

A typical day

Our typical days involve snuggles, long walks, park visits, and puppucinos (with permission) :) no matter what physical demand your dog wants, we will make it happen.

Pet care experience

Hey! My name is Whitney, I work remotely Monday -Friday 9-6. I’m a culinary graduate, sport enthusiast, and co-parent of three pups & two cats! You can typically find me snowboarding in the winter, spending too much money on fancy coffee,, or relaxing at home with my partner, and extremely unique pets 😆. I grew up with Doberman’s, Great Danes (Go Danes!), and of course CATS!! I love to cuddle, play fetch, go to the park and hit the neighborhood for a long walk, and this is totally up to my client and pets heart desires!! I have experience with administering Medicine with dogs and cats (this includes my own, and my clients). I’m very detail oriented and love getting the full scope on your pets routines, this ensures consistency with your pets! My pets are like velcro attached to me at all times, so I know I’ll love your pet no matter what size! :) I can’t wait to meet your best friend!

Great first Rover house sitting experience! Whitney was reliable, communicative, and took excellent care of our senior dog while we were away. We really appreciated the updates and felt completely at ease knowing she was in good hands. Whitney also left our house nearly spotless — it barely looked like anyone had been there for four days. Highly recommend!

When a trip we couldn’t reschedule coincided with our cat’s illness, we were very nervous about leaving home. We hired Whitney to house-sit and we’re so glad we did. She took excellent, attentive care of our senior cat, including giving him eyedrops which I’m sure wasn’t always easy. She also took time to send us pictures, videos and updates multiple times a day which gave us peace of mind. She is a true animal lover and a total professional. We’d hire her again any day.

Whitney has always treated our cat Poppy with a great amount of care and respect! Poppy has also warmed up to Whitney in a beautiful way which we have rarely seen with others. We trust her in our home and with our sweet kitty and are so happy to have her nearby to help out :)

Whitney stayed at my house and watched my four pets. She did an amazing job. My dogs can be shy but they warmed right up to her! I will definitely be using her again!
