Highlights
Pet care experience
Your on call pet person
I've grown up and lived with animals my whole life (Dalmatian-Terrier mix, Siberian Husky, Shih Tzu, Chihuahua, Yellow Canary, hamsters) and reinforce training with my sister's dog when I dogsit for her. I have experience with heel and leash-pulling, as well as using repetition and positive reinforcement for commands. I love animals of all sizes, and am well-versed in walking reactive dogs too! I am also fluent in French and Chinese, so if your pet knows commands in those languages, I've got you covered 🐾 🐶 🐱 🐹 🐭 🐰 🐻 🦖. PRICING As Rover won’t let me make price customisations, I want to clarify my house sitting rates (1 adult pet) so that it is as fair as possible: - Base rate (day sitting): £40 - Unsociable hours (sit lasts more than 12 hours and starts or finishes between 12am–7am): additional £20 supplement Before booking, I will finalise the price with you and modify it in Rover accordingly. Thank you!

Ratings and reviews
Whitney is a wonderful sitter. She took perfect care of my dog, sent me regular photo updates, and did an even better job than I could have hoped for. I’m incredibly grateful to her for everything she did!
It was the first time leaving my anxious dog with a pet sitter - but everything went very smoothly with Whittney. Great communication and wonderful care for Daisy - thank you!!!
Helped us out with a very last minute cat sitting request! Couldn’t have been more professional- highly recommended. Thanks again Whittney 🤗
Whittney is a responsive sitter with a lot of dog experience! She looked after Penelope, my 3 month old English Setter puppy and reinforced a lot of her training during. Very experienced and a pleasure!
Whittney was professional and reliable throughout the 6-day period she looked after our 2 cats. She kept in touch and sent photos, which I appreciated. I will definitely ask Whittney to cat-sit us again 🤗
Whittney is a fantastic cat-sitter and we’d rebook her in a heartbeat! We needed cat-sitting during the Christmas period and, having never before used Rover, we were comforted by Whittney’s proactiveness and organisation. From sending us pics of our two cats daily, to looking after our apartment and of course tending to our beloved kitties, everything went smoothly. Whittney is very communicative and quick to answer questions - an absolute must from the perspective of a pet owner. We can’t recommend Whittney highly enough!

Schedule
I am available on the west side mainly (mostly Upper West Side but can travel down to Tribeca) for walks, drop-ins, daycare/boarding in the owner's home. I love spending time outdoors and am a huge walker. And I love seeing dogs enjoy sniffaris on our walks! In addition to physical stimulation, mental enrichment is very important. On walks, basic training is always incorporated into walks so your dog is able to exercise its mind as well. For indoor enrichment, using the "find it" command is one of my favorite sniffing exercises to do with dogs. I also love spending quality purring time with cats.

- Let me know if your pet has any special needs, allergies, favorite places to go, things to avoid. Are there any commands you would like me to work on or reinforce with your dog? Is there anything I can do for your cat to make them feel more comfortable?
