Safety, trust & environment

I do not have pets of my own so I love the opportunity to meet & hang out with new pets 💕 Growing up, we always had cats, dogs, rabbits, snakes & even an iguana to care for. As a teenager, my family and I owned a couple American Bull Dogs. 🐶 They were the best & most lovey couch potatoes but were gone far too soon….my parents then came across a tiny stray dog who they adopted. He is a small Chihuahua named Detective Benny Smalls. He’s been with the family for 10years now & he is still howling as the ambulances/firetrucks drive by. He’s the best little guy around. Unfortunately, he is my mom’s dog & I only get to see him when I visit my hometown.

Information Whitney S. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has a special diet, allergies and/or medications before the stay. Please provide your pet’s veterinarian office in the unlikely event of an emergency (better be safe than sorry). Thank you! 🙏

A typical day

I love giving all my attention to your animals & try to help alleviate their separation anxiety. I play fetch in the backyard and/or go on walks around the neighborhood/park to help get their wiggles out & try to distract them from missing their owners.

The sitter we normally get was booked so had to find a new sitter last minute. We found Whitney and are so happy we did! She did an amazing job with my dogs (one senior - with complicated sitting instructions) and 1 young energetic 2 year old pup. She kept our house incredibly clean and was a great communicator (pictures and updates everyday).

Whitney was exceptional! We left for over a week and received updates and photos twice a day. Our boy was well cared for and we are so grateful! Thank you Whitney for everything!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass an identity verification. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
