“Bella is wonderful! We have a complicated household, with multiple cats of varying ages and a dog. She was great with all of them, and our dog is especially fond of her. When we returned from our trip, everything was in great condition, including our plants outside in 95 degree heat.”
“I always trust Julia to help me with my Teo fur babies. She sends me pictures and videos. I know my babies are in good hands with her. I have know. Her for 15 years.”
“My girls had a fantastic time with Dixie! From the first communication, Dixie was spectacular. She was easy to talk to, listened to my concerns, and made me feel very at ease leaving my house and dogs in her care. She provided pictures and videos all throughout her time with my girls. I never had to wonder how they were doing. I have one that is needing special attention and she provided great care for her. She left my house in perfect condition, even changed my sheets and towels. I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for the perfect sitter.”
“Our first booking having someone come stay with our fur babies and we couldn’t be happier with our sitter. When I saw Tanya had experience with large dogs and especially GSD I knew she’d be perfect. From our first meet and greet this feeling only grew. Each day there were lots of pics where I could see how happy and relaxed my babies were. I 100% recommend having Tanya watch your pets and I without a doubt will be booking her for all future trips we plan. 💜🐾”
“Jesse did an amazing job at caring for our lab. He let us know when she began having a health issue and proactively addressed it so it didn’t get out of hand. We felt confident that our pet and home would be well cared for during our vacation. Thank you Jesse!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember. My own dogs, my neighbors have asked me to drop in while they were on vacation, and my parents friends have had me dog and house sit while they were away. I take the time to get to know what the pets need instead of taking a one size fits all approach. I’m available all week, whatever time. I’m not working any other jobs so I’m available whenever pets need it or pet parents want an extra check in or reassurance. I make sure they’re comfortable, whether that’s in a crate or just on a bed, constantly check their food and water, and make sure they’re good and tired before I stop playing with them.
“Lillie is so awesome! I think my pup wanted to go home with her she treated her so well! She took such good care of all our animals and our home as well! Left everyone and everything better than we left it! We’ll definitely use her next time!”
“Sketcher did great housesitting our anxious 2 yr old dog and 11 yr old indoor cat. She was good at communicating promptly during booking and during the stay. We came home to happy pets and everything was as expected.”
“It was great having Tyler watch our two chocolate labs in our home. Everything went smoothly and the dogs were happy! Will definitely use Tyler again and hope he will become our regular fur baby sitter!”
About: All my life I was raised to care for animals. I developed a love for them like no other at a very young age. So, when I decided to leave a normal 9-5 job I stumbled across Rover and found my passion. I absolutely adore caring for animals and when I care for yours I will make sure that they are loved and cared for as I would love and care for my own. After my children moved out my schedule became open. I am available at any time to care for your fur babies and am more than happy to do so. When it comes to having a stranger in your home I can understand the uncertainty that comes with. I am here to ensure that you feel comfortable when you need to leave not only your house but your animals. We will have complete open communication at all times and I will make sure to follow all rules set.
About: I’ve had lifelong experience caring for pets of my own and have spent the past 6 years pet sitting for others. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I truly treat every pet in my care like family. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels, as well as cats and other small pets. From playful puppies to senior pets who need a gentler pace, I’m comfortable adapting to each pet’s unique routine and needs. I’m confident with: • Feeding schedules and special diets • Daily walks and exercise • Basic medication administration • Maintaining routines and house rules • Sending regular photo and video updates My goal is always to provide loving, reliable care so you can feel completely at ease while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are my top priorities. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life. I build my schedule around the pets I’m caring for to ensure they receive consistent attention, exercise, and companionship. Whether it’s morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening feedings, I prioritize maintaining each pet’s normal routine. I make time every day for walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and lots of affection. I’m very mindful about not overbooking so that each pet gets the focused care and attention they deserve. Because animals have always been a big part of my life, caring for them doesn’t feel like an extra task — it’s something I genuinely enjoy and plan my week around. When caring for pets in their own home, my top priority is keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special preferences to ensure consistency and comfort. I provide: • Fresh food and water at each visit • Clean litter boxes or yard clean-up as needed • Walks and exercise based on your pet’s energy level • Playtime, enrichment, and companionship • Plenty of affection (if they enjoy it!) • Detailed updates with photos after each visit I also treat every client’s home with the utmost respect — keeping things tidy, secure, and exactly as you left them. My goal is for you to return to a happy pet and a well-cared-for home.
About: I’ve grown up in a household of dogs my whole life and have dog sat fellow neighbors dogs along the way! I would love to meet and help take care of your dogs! I am able to come by on weekends almost any time and will be available to help around lunch time and later in the evening! I make sure to give my pets lots of loving and pets while also making sure they get the exercise they need throughout the day!
“Yolanda did an excellent job keeping Evan at the very last moment’s notice. I felt assured and comfortable with her and knew she would take great care of my fur baby. She was wonderful and I will definitely use her services again.”
“Stephanie was an AMAZING sitter! She took perfect care of our two dogs, Ares & Ariel. She went above and beyond expectations, gained their trust, and quickly became one of their favorite people (and mine, too!). She is trustworthy, down to earth, and so helpful. I will definitely book with her again!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Whetstone
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 269 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.
