“Britney was the best sitter I could ever ask for! She was on top of any issues that came up acting promptly when my pup wasn’t eating while I was away. She gave me peace of mind while on vacation which was exactly what I needed! Thank you, Britney!!”

About: I am comfortable caring for any dog - no matter the age, breed, disability, or size. I have 3 years of experience at various doggy daycares, and my responsibilities have ranged from watching 1 dog to a group of 60+ dogs; from small dogs to big dogs; from puppies with lots of energy to senior dogs who need specialized care and medication. I’m currently working full time, but I would love to spend my extra time in the day caring for your pup! I would be available in the evenings most days. I have had experience with injuries and other medical needs for dogs. I also have experience with different feeding routines, so no matter how complicated your dog’s meals are, I can figure them out. With my own dog, I typically enjoy a laid-back day full of cuddles, fetch, and playtime. But I can adapt to any dog’s lifestyle!

“Sara took excellent care of our pets! She is a pleasure to work with and we highly recommend her. She spent lots of time getting to know our anxious dog and this greatly increased his comfort. Sara also was so flexible and accommodating when our travel plans unexpectedly changed.”

“Payton was good at communicating and was able to give our 100lb dog medication 2x a day. He stayed the night with our babies and took great care of them. I would recommend him and use his services again.”

Olivia did absolutely amazing taking care of my baby while I was out of town! I have a very elderly dog that requires a lot of special attention when it comes to his meds & he can’t be left alone too long. Olivia followed all of my detailed instructions exactly & took great care of Louis. I can tell he received all the love & attention he would have gotten if I’d been the one taking care of him & that’s exactly what I’d hoped for. Also, when I got home I could barely tell Olivia had been staying at my apartment so she did a great job leaving my place just as she’d found it which I really appreciated coming home to after being gone! I can’t recommend her enough & I will definitely be rebooking Olivia!

This is the second time Alexis has watched our three dogs and won’t be the last. She sends constant updates and photos and makes you feel really comfortable the whole time you’re away. So thankful to have her!

Allison was absolutely great with my dog Cooper! He loves her, and when I got home, he was excited to see me, but I could tell you had been loved on and played with while I was gone! She is a great communicator and provided me with updates along the way. She is my go to dog sitter!!

Olivia was absolutely wonderful caring for our two 1 year old labs who have way too much energy! Very consistent communication with photo updates, absolutely no change to their normal routines. We were apprehensive using Rover for the first time but Olivia explained the process thoroughly and we had no doubt the dogs would be in amazing hands! Will definitely be booking with Olivia again if we need to, she is wonderful!

Destiny was wonderful with my fur babies! She was very understanding & patient with my shy girl, they ended up becoming best friends by the end! She also helped me with some household things that I could not attend to at the time which was very helpful!! Would have her sit for me again (:

We've used Chloe multiple times; she communicates easily, plays with our dog, and keeps both our cat and dog happy while we're gone.

FAQs for House Sitting - Whispering Pines

Frequently asked questions about Rover

Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.

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 Pines 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 Pines 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 Whispering Pines 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 , 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 .

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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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 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.
