About: I'm an animal lover, and I have been pet sitting for many years through friends and referrals, as well as through TrustedHousesitters. I've had animals most of my life, but none currently. I've also volunteered at shelters for many years, and I have trained and worked in animal rescue. I also volunteered doing animal rescue after Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans, for which I received an honorary award from the Humane Society. I'm comfortable with all types of animals, including dogs, cats, and other small animals. I have specialized experience with dogs, including dog behavior and dog rescue. I will take pride in providing excellent care for your animals, plants and home. I have many excellent reviews on TrustedHousesitters and Airbnb, and I can provide those links for reference. I work remotely on a flexible, part-time schedule, and I can tailor my schedule around my pet sitting commitments. My weekends often include hiking or trail running, and I'm also happy to take your dogs on hikes or runs if you'd like. Let's chat! I'm flexible with arrangements depending on the service I'm providing. - For pet sitting in your home while you're away, I would like a clean and comfortable space for me to settle in while caring for your animals. - For dog walks and/or drop-in visits, I'm very flexible. - Please just reach out to discuss details on these and other possible pet services. - Contact me for special pricing on long pet sits.
“August did an incredible job taking care of Zula and my house while I was away! He sent a ton of pictures, made sure she got lots of walks, and left my house absolutely spotless. August has been the most communicative dog sitter I’ve ever had and I would 100% use him again in the future. Thanks again!!”
“Once again we return home to a contented pup and a very clean home! Santi leaves everything in perfect condition! He is an excellent communicator and his photos of our Daisy are heartwarming! Highly recommend! Will certainly use Santi in the fiuture!”
“Joy did a great job caring for our cat Gomez. She sent us photos of him, which we appreciated, and was a great communicator throughout. We highly recommend Joy and we’ll be reaching out to her in the future. Cheers!”
“Taylor took great care of our house and two cats - followed instructions to a T, sent daily photos and updates, made sure the boys’ needs were met, and left the house clean and in great condition.”
“Madison was amazing with our 4 month old lab retriever. She worked on all the skills he’s been working on, and we came home to a very happy pup! Highly recommend!!!”
About: Hi! I’m Olivia — an energetic and caring sitter who truly enjoys keeping homes and animals safe, calm, and well cared for while their humans are away. I have experience caring for a wide range of animals, from dogs and cats to rodents and reptiles, and I’m comfortable adapting to each animal’s unique needs and routines. I also have experience tending houseplants and gardens, ensuring plants are watered, healthy, and thriving while you’re away. Whether it’s daily walks, administering medications, maintaining routines, or offering companionship, I treat every home, animal, and plant as if they were my own. I’m excited to provide you with peace of mind and a truly cared-for home while you’re away. Pet care fits really well into my life right now—I'm a seasonal worker, so winter months give me a lot of open time and flexibility. If I'm petsitting for your loved ones and your home, I can provide them lots of affection, care, and quality time doing their favorite things, whether that's lounging in the house or hiking in the sun and the snow. Whatever their pace, I'm happy to match it and make sure they feel comfortable and loved the whole time. I get to know each pet's routine and personality before jumping in, so they feel comfortable with me quickly. Whether it's walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays, I stick to their normal schedule for feeding, potty breaks, and any meds, and I pay close attention to their energy and mood so I can adjust as needed—extra patience for the nervous ones, extra playtime for the energetic ones! I send photo updates so owners can relax, and I always leave the house just as tidy as I found it.
“Awesome! Couldn’t be happier. She was even able to stay an extra day when our flight was canceled. She took fantastic care of our dog and our home and I would hire her again anytime. So fortunate we found her.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, so I have plenty of experience caring for them and understanding their different personalities and needs. I absolutely love dogs of all breeds and sizes and enjoy spending time playing, walking, and giving them lots of attention. I’m currently studying Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at CU Boulder with hopes of becoming a veterinarian. I’m responsible, patient, and loving, and I’ll always treat your dog like my own! As a college student at CU Boulder, I have a flexible schedule outside of my classes that allows me to dedicate time to pet care. I love spending time with animals, so incorporating walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention into my daily routine is something I genuinely enjoy. I’m great at managing my time and making sure every pet gets the love and care they deserve! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owner is away. I follow their usual routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I understand that every pet has different needs and personalities, so I make sure to give them plenty of attention and patience. I also keep their space clean and provide regular updates and pictures so owners can feel confident their pets are in good hands!
“We love Rikku! He brings us peace and security knowing our furbabies are well cared for while we are away. He responds quickly and sends frequent updates about them. It makes our trips so much more enjoyable not having to worry about them.”
About: I love pets of all kind & have many years of experience with them! It brings me great joy to care for pets as though they are my own. I am able to commit to likely a weekly or semi-weekly visit. I look forward to creating rapport with animals & humans alike! I am flexible with my schedule. I care for pets with love, affection, and keen attention to their usual behaviors- and I am always on the watch for anything out of the ordinary. I like to help animals feel safe & comfortable & loved!
“We are SO happy we booked with Katie. She was responsive, sent loadddss of pictures, and our dogs LOVED her. Also, our house was in the same condition we left it in. We will definitely be asking Katie to house and dog sit for us again.”

I have been caring for pets for a few years and enjoy it very much and am also happy to take care of plants inside and out or other house management tasks.

I am not just walking your dogs, I am engaging them and will treat them like they are my own! I can offer them tons of love, play-time, walks and attention! I'm also a very neat person, I will not only clean-up after your dogs, but also keep your home tidy!

“Absolutely Fantastic!! Sophia is a TREASURE and I would recommend her to anyone. She was able to accommodate a last-minute request - within hours of the weekend - and did so with extreme professionalism and genuine care for our pups. Really, I can't say enough good things about her.”
“Fantastic and flexible dog walker, and overall pet sitter. Nika is easy to talk to and communicate with. Our pets loved her. She went above and beyond to take our dog to Marymoor Dog Park, one of his favorites for some fun. Also flexible - when our return flight was delayed a day, she was willing to pick up an extra day.”
“Sarah was very professional and a clear communicator. She sent us really nice pictures of our fur babies and it was obvious how much fun they were having with her. She adjusted her schedule due to the high temperatures to make sure walks happened when it was cooler. Sarah is a very kind and caring person. We would definitely highly recommend her. Thanks Sarah!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Whispering Pine is $74 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $68 and $85 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.

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 Whispering Pine 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 Whispering Pine 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 Whispering Pine 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.
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.
