About: Hi! I’m a professional dog trainer with 6 years of hands-on animal experience. I’ve worked with dogs of different breeds, ages, and personalities, and I always focus on making each pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Animals have always been my passion, and I treat every pet like part of my own family. Whether I’m walking, training, or spending time with your dog, I bring patience, responsibility, and lots of love to every visit. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I structure my work schedule around my Rover bookings so I have dedicated time for walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship. I always make sure pets are let out, walked, and fed on a consistent schedule, and I don’t accept more bookings than I can safely handle. When I’m at work or school, I plan check‑ins before and after, and I’m available early mornings, evenings, and weekends to give your pet plenty of attention. Your pet’s needs come first, and I build my day around keeping them happy, safe, and comfortable. I have a fenced yard and your pet’s safety is my top priority. As a dog trainer with 6 years of animal experience, I’m confident handling different breeds, energy levels, and behaviors, and I always use secure leashes, harnesses, and crates when needed. In my home, your dog will be in a clean, pet‑friendly environment with plenty of space to relax and play. I also have a very friendly golden retriever who loves company and can be a great, gentle playmate for social dogs. I supervise pets at all times, introduce them slowly, and never put them in situations that feel unsafe or overwhelming. I’m reliable, communicative, and respectful of your pet’s routine, and I’ll send updates and photos so you always know how your dog or cat is doing.
“Geneva was assumed with Pepper and beans. Being very tentative with them when it came to feeding and being let out. Also spending some social time with them. Ill def recommend and hire again for future vacations.!!!”
“Keliann was absolutely fantastic while petsitting for us! She was very thorough and professional during our meet-and-greet and did great as well when following our senior pups very specific feeding instructions! Our pups both immediately took to her and we just know they all had a very fun time together, plus our very finicky cat even started to warm up a little bit to her! She gave us frequent updates and photos on all three fur-babies and left our house spic and span! She even took out the trash and did some extra cleaning that we didn’t expect her to do! Definitely will be using her for petsitting again in the future and 10/10 would highly recommend her services!”
“Allison was amazing with our girls Milli and Maxi. She was responsive with all her replies, our special requests and we felt at ease with Allison taling care of our girls at home. The babies always had big smiles and were always very relaxed. Thanks for all the updates and a great job all around. The girls look forward to her next visit.”
“Jairo took great care of my girls and my home. He was a great communicator, sent picture updates, took them on lots of fun walks and made sure they were happy and tucked in at night. It was very nice coming home to happy dogs and and a clean home, and made my trip much more enjoyable having peace of mind with regular updates.”
About: Growing up in the country, I cared for pets and farm animals. My experience and love for all creatures began there! Interacting with them has always been the highlight of my day. From cats, dogs, small animals, aquatic life and reptiles, to horses, dairy goats, birds, pigs and chickens, I have you covered! I've owned most, and cared for the rest. No matter what, I keep critters close! As a child was rarely seen without an animal or flock in tow. I raised pigs, chickens, dove, rabbits. As well as trained dogs and horses. Later on In Edna, I was a ranch hand on a small dairy farm. Now living in the city, I care mostly for cats and dogs, but I still love them all! I wouldn't imagine my life any other way! I have a very open and movable schedule. I can pretty much work with anything. The safety and care of your pup is always at the top of my list. I have a fenced yard with a large shaded area. Indoor and crate training is also great. I will make sure they are comfortable and safe.
“Sherine was absolutely amazing with my boys! From the very beginning, communication was excellent — I received daily check-ins, photos, and thoughtful updates that kept me reassured the entire time I was away. It’s always nerve-wracking trusting someone new with your pets and your home, but Sherine exceeded my expectations on every level. My dogs clearly adored her and looked completely relaxed and happy in every photo she sent. She followed all instructions, respected my home, and left everything clean and in order when I returned. Her calm, reliable energy and genuine love for animals was clear from day one. I’m so grateful to have found her and will absolutely be booking again. Highly recommended!”
“Monic was great with my kids! She sent constant updates with pictures. And left little snapshot pictures. Asuna and Kurro are my shy kitties and took some time to warm up but Monic won them over.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for basically my whole life. There has never been a time in my life where I wasn’t surrounded by dogs! I have all the time in the world to take care of your pets! I can help you at any time of the day any day of the week! I have a fenced off yard and 3 friendly dogs including 2 Shih Tzu’s and a Pomeranian. I have multiple crates if needed and let them out and in when needed.
“Kyla is truly the best! She has been watching my dog since she was 3 and I never have to worry about how she’s doing when I’m gone. Kyla really goes out of her way to make her feel comfortable and happy while i am gone. 10/10 high recommend!”
About: I’ve had pets or all sorts since I was a small child. I grew up around cats, dogs, and all sorts of animals. I’m patient and also have experience in wildlife rehab— which means I can easily handle basic triage and medication/supplement application. Geriatric or special needs? My childhood dog was blind and diabetic. Fearful or anxious pet? I get it, I’m patient and understand animals need their space and time to gain your trust. I have a degree in wildlife biology, am a licensed falconer, and worked in retail pet care all through college. Now? I have plenty of pets of my own, reptiles, birds, mammals, and an amphibian too. I’m currently between jobs, so my schedule will hopefully change soon— but for now I’m happy to help take care of your pets as I’m free. Which is often. I’m willing and able to do drop ins on the weekends or late at night with fair warning or advance notice! Not the best early morning person, but I have plenty of my own animals that need am care— so I’m plenty capable of that too. I will care for your pets as I care for my own. Observant and patient, empathetic and gentle. I’m more than comfortable cleaning messes, handling high stress situations, and will do my best to keep your pets loved and comfortable in my care.
About: I helped raise a labradoodle puppy with my roommate last year & was it an adventure! I am also thinking about getting my own furry friend sometime as well! I work from home, so I have a good schedule & routine! I will be able to give undecided attention to your dog! I also have the flexibility to take the dogs on frequent potty breaks and walks. I will send constant updates about the experience as well as follow the instructions from the owner. I will send pictures & texts to the owners for updates. I respect everyone & everything.
“Jennifer was great! She kept me updated with photos and messages the whole time I was away. She was very friendly and reliable. Seeing her interact with my dog at the meet and greet made it very clear that she enjoys what she does!”
“Journey did an incredible job house sitting for us, sending us tons of updates and pictures. She is diligent and took great care of our dog and our cat. Will definitely be reaching out to her again!”
About: I work with all types of pets all day. I’ve taken care of my 2 dogs back home since I was 8 years old and pet sat in high school for my neighbors every holiday break. I currently volunteer with St. Joseph’s hospital for 3 hours a day on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Fridays, so if your pet is okay being alone for three hours on those days I’d be happy to look after them. However, I can dedicate my undivided attention to your pet on all other days and guarantee that you’ll be satisfied with my service either way. If possible, I would love to know beforehand if your pet has any conditions you know about like ADHD, anxiety, etc. My apartment has a fenced-in dog park where I’d be happy to bring your pet. I’ll do my best to make sure tails keep wagging and cats keep purring.
“Mona went above and beyond watching our pup Luna! She made sure to keep me updated and Luna busy! She is a very sweet and thoughtful person. Mona will be our trusted caregiver for Luna when we need a sitter! Thanks again!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs for several years, including my own and those of friends and family. I’m experienced with feeding, walking, playtime, and following each dog’s individual routine.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 2,825 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Whaley Corner. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Whaley Corner walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Whaley Corner maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Whaley Corner choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
