Pet care experience

Hi, I'm Whitney. My husband, Ryan, and I have long used Rover to book sitters while we travel, but years ago decided to return the favor and help pup parents in need. I am a full time pharmacist, but in my free time I'd love to give a helping hand! I'm a lover of all animals and would bend over backwards to take care of a sweet pup. We'd love for your pup to join our girls, Tuna and Willow, for walks and plenty of playtime! I'm comfortable with dogs of all sizes and energy. Please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions. I ask that you message me prior to any bookings because of my ever changing schedule. Thank you! **Must be potty trained as we have toddlers**

Whitney and her family were wonderful with my pup! She’s an older dog and walks slow and snores loud and Whitney and her family showed he lots of love and attention, I felt like my pup was on vacation too! It was such good peace of mind to know my pup was being treated so well and cared for and was spoiled with lots of love and cuddles and attention. Thank you so much Whitney!

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