About: I’m a 30 year old female who is social, outgoing, and expressive when it comes to showering dogs with love and care. As a kid I was unable to adopt a dog. Since I didn’t have my own, I often spent time with friends’ dogs to fulfill my longing for one. Eventually, I got my own best friend Zico who’s a cute cuddly pup at 60 lbs. He’s a great listener and an active boy. We go on walks 3 times a day and occasionally hikes. Sometimes, we just play fetch at a soccer field nearby. Therefore, walking dogs frequently isn’t overbearing, plus it’s great exercise for both of us. I also have experience helping a dog give birth last year and assisted with the puppies’ care for weeks after birth. I am temporarily unemployed which allows me to keep an eye on my dog. Since I have a dog of my own, pet care is something I do daily. I try to visit the dog park often for Zico’s social interaction. I have a house with lots of indoor space allowing dogs large and small to roam freely. There are dog gates around in case I need to separate dogs as well. I also have a quiet neighborhood and live in a low traffic area. I have one dog who loves other dogs allowing your pup to receive plenty of playtime. I take dogs out 2-3 times (can do more) daily based on your pet’s needs. We can go on nice long walks to expend their pent up energy
“Samantha was absolutely fantastic with our dogs, Lila and Cash. From the moment we met her, we felt comfortable leaving them with her. She’s reliable, communicative, and clearly loves animals. Lila can be particular and Cash is still a puppy with plenty of energy, but she handled both of them so well. We came home to two happy dogs and had total peace of mind while we were away. We wouldn't hesitate to book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring dog sitter 💕”
“Thanks to Vanessa, we had one less thing to worry about during our recent trip. She took great care of the boys and a few things around the house. Logistically, her work place being close to our house, gave us the assurance that she is closeby if needed during her working hours. The boys loved her so much, they went crazy when she had dropped by later to collect a few stuff she had left behind.”
“Last minute trip and Erinn responded quickly. We were delayed getting home and she came back to take care of our animals . Very responsive. Communicates regularly. Will be using her again.”
“Jessica and Guillermo were wonderful dog sitters!! They took amazing care of Duke while we were away. Sent lots of updates and tons of pictures. We’ll def be reaching out to them to sit for Duke in the future.”
About: Hello everybody! I am an animal lover with professional and personal experience caring for ALL animals. Ive worked in various animal hospitals over the course of 5 years with veterinary technician experience caring for cats, dogs, birds, rodents, and reptiles. I have experience bathing dogs as well as administering medication, subcutaneous fluids, injections, and syringe / tube feeding. If your pet requires any of this special care I would be a great caregiver for them! Outside of work I also have pet sat in my own home as well as clients homes. I work from home, so I'll have plenty of time to spend with your pets and they will have constant attention and company. They will not be left alone for longer than 3 hrs. I am a single mother to a well behaved 2 year old boy, who understands how to respect animal boundaries :) we are very active and enjoy the outdoors. I'm sure your dog would love to accompany us on my outdoor adventures (Hiking, running, walking, park and beach visits, ect.) ! I do not own any cages/crates as I prefer to allow pets free roam. If you would like your pet to be crated or know that he/she chews things please provide one for their stay!
“HIGHLY RECOMMEND KATE! She was such a pleasure to work with. We had a peace of mind while away of her caring for our cats. She would reach out with any questions, yet more importantly would send photos and videos of her interactions with the cats. <3 <3 <3 She was extra helpful with watering plants, too. Need to figure out our next time away to use her again! :)”
About: I have been a dog walker and pet sitter for a year so far! I've also had dogs ever since I was a kid and have had cats the last few years. People have entrusted me to stay in their homes to take care of their pets and also do daily visits and walks! Currently for me I have been working with animals as my main job while I have the time to do it and figure out more permanent work plans. I will do daily visits at my clients homes and can spend time playing or taking them on walks. I can also do overnights so they won't be alone! Since I have pets of my own at home I won't be able to care for them there.
“Nicole did such an amazing job taking care of Ruby, our young puppy, and home while we were out of town. While it was tough for us to leave her for the first time, we felt very comfortable having her in Nicole's care. She sent us frequent updates and pics and Ruby had a blast playing and hanging with her. Would highly recommend Nicole for any of your pet care needs!”
“Antonia was outstanding! We knew ahead of time our fur babies were in great hands and we were not disappointed. Antonia was in contact with us, sending photos and updating us along the way. Vacation was much more relaxing knowing our dogs were happily in their home being loved on. Such a great find for our family!”
“Alex was wonderful! Such a capable and caring house sitter. Both dogs absolutely loved her immediately and she was very responsive. Would love to have her watch them again. Highly recommend.”
“Grace watched our senior pup for a week. He is very boring to watch - he just likes to sleep and hang out (no walks or play - too old for that nonsense anymore lol) Jett is very particular who he likes and he was lying next to Grace by the end of the week! WOW! We are so happy with Grace - always kept us updated on our little guy and was reliable and took care of Jett perfectly! Highly recommend, Grace to watch your babies!”
About: I have sitter for mores than 20 years to family and friends little ones. I like to walk and cuddle with them. Playing and fetches at the park.

About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was 11 years old and currently have seven cats and a Yorkie of my own, so caring for pets has truly been a lifelong part of my everyday life. Having a multi-pet household has given me extensive hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs with different personalities, temperaments, energy levels, and routines. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, litter box care, maintaining daily routines, and giving each pet the individual attention they need. I especially understand cats and how different their personalities can be—from the super affectionate and playful ones to the shy or independent ones who need a little more patience and space to feel comfortable. As a pet parent myself, I know how important it is to feel confident about who you’re leaving your pets with. I’ll treat every pet in my care with the same love, patience, attention, and respect I give my own, and I’m always happy to provide plenty of photos and updates while you’re away! :) Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine as a pet parent myself. I’m available all day on Saturdays and Sundays, making weekends especially flexible for walks, drop-ins, house sitting, or other pet care needs. During the week, I’m typically available in the evenings starting around 6 PM. I can also be flexible outside of my normal availability as needed, so feel free to reach out and I’ll do my best to accommodate your pet’s schedule and care needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my priority. I carefully follow each pet parent’s instructions, including feeding schedules, walking routines, household rules, and any special preferences your pet may have. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of both their space and their pet’s established routine, and I make sure doors, gates, leashes, and other potential escape points are secure. For pets staying with me, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable environment and giving them time to adjust at their own pace. Because I have pets of my own, I take introductions and interactions seriously and would never force unfamiliar animals together. I’m attentive to behavior and body language and will always prioritize what makes each pet feel safe and comfortable.
“Savita was incredibly caring and communicative watching my kitties. She provided regular check-ins, asked questions when necessary, and I know the boys were happy to have her. I would recommend Savita to any pet owner who is looking for peace of mind while they’re out of town!”

About: We are a small family with extra space (yard space included!) and time living in a very safe neighborhood. I have a small son who Loves animals is outgoing and social, and needs a furry friend! My fiancé is home 24/7 to be with the dog. His mom comes down several days a week to watch our son, allowing more doggie time. To put it simply: we moved here less than a year ago, miss being around dogs, and want to share our resources in order to provide ourselves and our son with the love that only dogs can. It's essential for me to show him the loyalty, caring spirit and safety dogs provide. We're hoping to gain fur and people friendly relationships as new Delawareans! Thank you very much for your time.

I’ve worked with Kayla twice now and have had a great experience both times! She’s extremely reliable, thorough, and always follows all care instructions. She’s also great at communicating and always keeps me updated, which gives me so much peace of mind while we’re away. Most importantly, she’s so kind and caring with Mischa and makes sure she gets plenty of attention and companionship. I always feel comfortable knowing Mischa is in good hands with Kayla, and I’ll definitely continue to work with her!
Allie took very good care of our cat while we were away. We got regular updates and could tell when we got home that he was happy and healthy. As well as that she took great care of the house keeping it clean and tidy. I would definitely recommend Allie to look after your pets and will book her ahain in the future, Thank You Allie
Emily took care of my 2 dogs for a long weekend. She was so great, responsible, and trustworthy! She stayed at our house and took such great care of our dogs. She hung out with them A LOT, which I really appreciated. She kept me updated with messages and photos as well. I loved not having to worry about my dogs while away on vacation because I knew they were in great hands. She also left my house exactly like it was when we left! Would DEF use Emily again!
Shannon did a really good job caring for our two dogs, one elderly and one young adult. Both dogs had special needs - either a lot of attention and exercise or some medication, and she was very attentive and caring for our pets She is a very responsible person and we are very happy to have found her!
Natalie took great care of our dog while we were away! Our dog is very shy and she was so good with him. She sent updates often that made me feel at ease. She left our house very clean and just as we left it. I can tell he really enjoyed spending time with Natalie. We will definitely book with her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Whippany is $91 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $69 and $112 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 18,241 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Whippany. 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 Whippany 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 Whippany 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 Whippany 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Whippany. On Rover:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 89% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
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.
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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
