About: I've taken care of a wide variety of animals my whole life. While I love all types of pets, dogs are my favorite. I have lots of experience. One of my dogs was a therapy dog within the public school system as part of a literacy program for elementary children. I have a nice fenced in backyard and live close to two pet friendly parks. My schedule is very flexible. There is always someone at home 24/7 so your furry friend will never be lonely. I can board, sit, or walk almost anytime. I have a nice fenced in backyard and live very close to two pet friendly parks. I have a very friendly corgi named Rocco to keep your fur babies company.
“Brooke is a wonderful pet sitter! Amigo is a rescue and had a sad beginning so he is sometimes withdrawn around strangers but he immediately loved Brooke! She is so reliable and shows up on time and lets you know her schedule in advance. She is great with animals and a very sweet person. She is very smart and catches on quickly. Reluctantly highly recommend her because if everyone uses her she might be too busy when we need her next and I definitely want her the next time we need a sitter!”
“I wish I could give Yasmine a million stars! She is so attentive. When one of our dogs was having tummy issues, she offered to make her a plain meal to help. She is so responsive and sends so many pictures and updates. We were so nervous leaving our babies but she is a pro. 100% recommend her and we will be using her again in the future!”
About: I have had family dogs most of my life, all were rescues. Each had their own challenges. I’m observant and will take attentive care of your pet. I am starting my masters program in the fall and have a lot of free time during the day. Usually available throughout the day including evenings. I care for them by making sure their bowls have been cleaned and filled with fresh water and food if needed. Give them attention and play with them.
“Amber took excellent care of our pack and provided us with peace of mind while we were gone. She was especially attentive to their health/diet needs and we look forward to having her stay again.”
About: Rover takes so much of the income - high prices can be negotiated down! I do this regularly and have been for many years! Contact me ! Dog trainer/ care giver 🖤 At home I have two large breed dogs, and one cat who are my absolutely life! In my spare time I am always walking in our local town and doing training sessions as training is my passion! Throughout the week I am nanny- however I was previously for the past 3 years a full time dog trainer at Shore Dog training and a vet tech at Berlin Animal Hospital 🖤 I work consistently 8:30 -5:30 MON - FRI my schedule is incredibly flexible so 3 walks and let outs are always easy to do! As I do not have a fenced in yard, I do heavily rely on taking animals out and about. I do have a crate in my vehicle, because safety is my upmost importance! When we do go out and about, I tend to walk around town and well-known areas! I do not allow off leash dogs or on leash dogs to meet client dogs as It could be a safety concern. However, if the owner is not comfortable with field trips, I do offer different types of enrichment throughout the day kongs, lick Mats, ect as well as a large play area for both cats and dogs at my residence. For more info contact me ! Along side field trips/ outings and enrichment opportunities I offer structured play sessions and LOTS of belly rubs ! I will also do some grooming if you would like!
About: I’ve had various pets my entire life (mainly cats) and have always loved caring for all animals. I grew up around families with dogs, so I’m extremely comfortable caring for dogs as well and have pet-sat many dogs over the years. At one point, I had 12 cats, so I’m able to care for multiple pets and keep up with their individual needs. I’ve also cared for two senior cats and understand the extra patience and attention older pets may need. I’ve rescued and cared for kittens, including helping them feel safe and comfortable in a new environment. I also have experience caring for a cat who needed medication and experienced seizures, which taught me the importance of following care instructions carefully, paying close attention to changes in behavior, and staying calm when a pet needs extra care. I truly enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I currently work from home, so I’ll have plenty of time to care for and keep an eye on your pet. I’m usually available throughout the day for walks and other services. If my availability ever changes, I’ll make sure to communicate that ahead of time. I currently offer dog walking and house sitting services. When house sitting, I’ll make sure your pet stays comfortable, safe, and cared for in their own home. I’ll follow your instructions closely and keep you updated while you’re away. I will also treat your property as if it were my own!

“Susan stayed at our house for 10 days to take care of our dog. She sent us pictures and updates every day. when she left my dog was crying. I was so comfortable going away knowing that I did not have to worry about my dog being taken care of. He was treated very well and he was loved. I give Susan a 10+star rating. I will definitely use her on our next trip. She treated my house like it was her own and my house was in the same condition as when I left it it was clean and orderly. Thank you Susan for all that you did for Willie.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Whaleyville
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 283 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Whaleyville. 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 Whaleyville 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 Whaleyville 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Whaleyville 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.
