I wanted to extend my heartfelt gratitude for taking care of my K & A. Your dedication, care, and attention to detail made my time away much easier knowing they were in such good hands. It was clear that Annie treated them with care and affection as if they were her own. The updates and photos were reassuring and made me smile and feel at ease. Annie went above and beyond facilitating a smooth process while me being in the hospital. Outstanding communication. She is a reliable and caring dog sitter. You truly made a difference, and I'm so thankful for your help. My babies certainly chose you! ☺️

Jennifer has done drop ins for my cats during two periods of time for me now. She is very thoughtful with the updates she leaves me on the report cards and makes sure I know my girls are safe and well taken care of. I also love when she brings her kids along to give my social butterfly of a cat a little extra attention! I will definitely continue booking with Jennifer.

About: I've had dogs and cats (and everything else in between) for as long as I can remember! I've walked, boarded, and house-sat for cats and dogs of all kinds. I'm in an in-between phase of life and have a very flexible schedule. Let me know how I can help you with your furry friends! Walks/Runs/Drop-ins: I'm currently not working so I am VERY flexible! With that being said, I still like keeping a schedule of some sort. If you are looking for something consistent throughout the week, I'd love to discuss how I can help with a routine that works for you. House-sitting: I've watched up to three dogs for 8 days. I'm open to pretty much anything but would like to meet your pups/cats/other beforehand. I can board but that is dependent on the dog since I have a cat at home. Open to discussion! My home has a fenced in yard for those pups that want to roam.

About: I'm familiar with puppies, kittens, and senior care, and I take care to follow pet-care instructions to the letter! I look forward to opportunities to care for any and all pets with specific needs! I work part time, so I have plenty of time in my day to play with your pets! I'm typically most available in the mornings and the evenings, but my schedule is flexible! I'm used to navigating clients homes! I keep fences closed, water bowls filled, and I make a lot of use of backyards/surrounding neighborhoods for walking and playing!

About: I have 2 high energy dogs (Basenjis, Cleo and Quincy - hounds). I love to walk and I am good with walking difficult high energy dogs. I am semi-retired and have a flexible schedule. I am a morning person and I have lots of time to visit or walk your dog(s). My dogs are not always good with other dogs, so I would come to you to walk and/or take care of or feed your dog.

About: When I was a baby I had a dog making sure I didn’t fall over, and I have grown up with dogs ever since. My family currently has a golden retriever and a Bernese mountain dog that I only get to see over winter and summer break. And I have experience with puppies (and their shark teeth) as young as 10 weeks old. I am a recent graduate who is working part time as a delivery driver from 3 to 8 on Wednesday Thursday and Friday, so I have plenty of free time to look after your pups and take them on walks! Otherwise, I am a volunteer coach for the Bloomsburg Men’s soccer team from 8 am to 10 am a couple days a week. I have plenty of experience when it comes to letting dogs out and taking care of them. I am the youngest of 3 kids and was the only one home over CoVid with my families two dogs and took care of them. I have a vehicle so I am able to travel to your house to play with and take care of your furry child!

About: My background spans everything from energetic puppies to sweet seniors. I do not just monitor pets, I actively engage them. I focus on positive reinforcement, structure, and maintaining your exact home routine. Owners trust me because I treat their pets like my own. You will receive consistent updates, clear communication, and total peace of mind while you are away. Because I work from home, your pet receives my full attention. My flexible routine ensures consistent neighborhood walks, frequent potty breaks, and dedicated companionship all day long. Whether you need overnight boarding, interactive playdates, daily walking, or quick potty breaks, I easily accommodate your schedule. I offer a safe home environment with one friendly dog for constant companionship. Our routine includes daily leashed neighborhood walks and optional off-leash socialization trips to Martin Dog Park. I also provide secure crating at night for a safe, restful sleep.

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me time and time again to look after their pets (and even their plants), and it’s something I genuinely enjoy. I share my home with my sweet lab mix, Congo, and my newly adopted cat, Mayo, who bring so much joy into my life. I’ve also spent years house‑sitting and pet‑sitting, and my time working in the local restaurant industry has taught me to be dependable, patient, and attentive. I treat every pet with the same love and comfort I give my own! I’m a local college student with a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to give your pets attention, playtime, and consistent care. I follow safe walking practices with secure leash handling and close awareness of my surroundings. I also stick to your dog’s usual training and routine to keep them comfortable.

About: I love dogs so much that my doormat says, “Dogs Welcome, People Tolerated.” (Ha!) I’m a responsible, trustworthy professional who grew up surrounded by dogs, horses, and all sorts of farm critters. I’ve worked as a vet tech and trained hunting and scent-detection dogs, so I know how to handle everything from high-energy pups to sugar-faced seniors. I also have decades of experience training and competing horses, which makes me equally comfortable doing barn chores. During the work week I take care of pets both early mornings and evenings and provide mid-day potty breaks. On weekends and holidays I am flexible and offer longer walks or hikes and different enrichment activities.I enjoy taking boarders to local SniffSpots to run and play. I care for pets where they are most comfortable, whether that is in their own home or with me. I live in a bottom floor apartment (no stairs for senior dogs) and do not have a fenced-in yard, but take lots of leashed walks (rain or shine) and also have access to a private dog park for off-leash playtime. One adult dog lives in the home, he is neutered and plays well with other dogs. Due to insurance restrictions, I cannot take dogs that are aggressive, dominant, chewers/destroy furniture or bark a lot (or refuse to stop barking when asked).

Hannah is the best! This is the second time she has taken care of our dogs for us and she was amazing. She took care of all their needs and really made them feel loved. We were gone for a few days and she was great at communicating with us and letting us know how everything was going and we could tell our two little buddies were so happy. She is definitely at the top of the list when we need someone on Rover!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Whispering Pines on Rover is $16.65 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 910 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Whispering Pines. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Whispering Pines stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

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!

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 .

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Whispering Pines with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Whispering Pines. On Rover:

  • 98% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.

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.
