“We are so happy that we found Becky. She is wonderful and takes great care of Colonel and walks him everyday - even brushed him every day. Coco and Cinnamon don’t hide anymore and play a lot. We have no worries when we are gone with Becky here at our home. We will use her services whenever we go on a trip as long as she’s available!”
“Annette was amazing! It was obvious that she took good care of my pup! She took great photos and snuggled with him! He is an anxious pup but he loved her from the start. Would highly recommend and will definitely be reaching out for her to watch him again!”
“Sara did a fantastic job watching our 11 year old Golden Retriever for a week at our home. Our dog loved Sara. Sara sent pictures every day of Lady to help my mind about our fur-baby. She was on time. I highly recommend Sara for your fur-babies care!!!”
“Alexandra was great! I felt very comfortable leaving my 3 dogs with her in my home. I couldn’t even tell she had been there except that my toilet had been freshly cleaned! My mom is booking her vacation in October and I would definitely use her again!”
“Charli took care of my. 14 year old Yorkie with health problems. She had to give him 3 pills twice daily and treat him with care. She did a great job and returned him to me in great shape.”
“Sharon is a very warm, down-to-earth person. My 16 yo rescue dog, Fawn was very well taken care of. I was happy & lucky to find someone willing to stay in my home with my dog. Fawn has lost some vision and hearing so she does better in a familiar place. I appreciated getting photos and updates on my pup. I could completely relax and enjoy my 2-week vacation with family and friends, knowing my old girl was safe and loved. Sharon has a lot of experience with dogs from the years she had a business taking care of people’s dogs in her own home when her clients were away. I highly recommend Sharon!”
“Maisie was wonderful to work with from the very beginning. Our goldendoodle has quite the personality and can sometimes be intimidating when you first meet him but she was extremely patient and kind. When we returned from our trip, the house was spotless and dogs were very happy and well taken care of. Maisie communicated well each day and sent a ton of photos of the dogs doing various things throughout the day. I’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone safe and loving to take care of your fur babies while you’re away!”
“Lauren did a great job taking care of Stitch and Blu! She was a great communicator and kept me updated. I would definitely recommend Lauren and would be happy to have her take care of Stitch and Blu again! 🐾💕”
“Amy was super attentive and caring towards our sweet boy. Great communicator as well as fantastic at sending a few photos and updates while we were gone…that gave us peace of mind knowing he was in good hands and we could fully enjoy our time away. We fully trust her and will book again in the future. Thank you so much, Amy!”
“Mercedes did a great job and went above and beyond to care for our dogs. Even going as far as making sure we had a clean home to come home to after traveling. We will definitely book with her in the future!”
“Joanna was amazing! My typically shy dog loved her immediately which made it easier for this nervous momma leave without worrying. I will definitely book with her again in the future!”
About: I've been around animals since I was 5! I connect with animals so well that they feel they can be comfortable around me so quick! I am a full time student at the University of Arizona I am a cheer coach on tuesdays and thursdays! I also enjoy the gym! On a daily I let the dogs run around the home till they need to go out! I'll put the dogs in kennels if needed!
“Susannah was more than patient with Milo and Murphy. Milo isn’t the easiest to navigate through as he doesn’t do well with new people. The meet and greet went well so I decided to book. Milo threw some challengers her way and she navigated through with grace and patience. I left them in great hands and would definitely book again. Thank you Susannah for everything!”
“Kelly came for a meet and greet, and was engaging with both of our pups within minutes. We are new to the area, and so for our first sit just had a day out in town. She kept us up to date with pictures and notes about what the pups were doing, and was good about asking questions when needed. We will be happy to have Kelly sit for us again!”
About: Hello, I’m Yari. I have 3 years of experience with house and pet sitting. I absolutely love looking after pets while their humans are out of town.

About: I have been a pet parent to lots of different types of furry, scaly, and feathered kids. We had a guinea pig that died at 8yo. I had a pot belly pig who thought he was an alligator, I got his thought he was a dog who had to go on the walks with the dogs twice a day. Twice a day sometimes three times a day I would take four dogs a goat and a pig for a walk. I work on an as needed basis and right now I am not needed so I am home. So when ever you need your fur baby checked on. Or need someone to either stay with them or somewhere for them to stay I am available. Do you not see pets as pets pets are family members. And because of this I will treat them as family members. My cats right now have beds at every room in the house. I make sure that they get some outside time to get sunshine I am growing them fresh grass every day inside along with fresh catnip they get new water three times a day. And when they start meowing at me I am literally stopping everything I am doing to go see what they need or want. And one cat likes to play the jealous game so she likes to be picked up and held like a baby trying to get my son her kid to pay attention to her.
“What can I say about Bentley other than she was very punctual while taking exceptional care of my animals. She is a great communicator with pictures sent everyday. She really eased my mind about leaving my animal for a week. I would recommend her and use her again.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Whetstone
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 157 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Whetstone. 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 Whetstone 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 Whetstone 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 Whetstone 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
