“Did amazing at last moments notice. Treated our puppies so well and gave them lots of love while we were away. Very communicative and sent updates and left our house and dogs clean and happy.”
“Savannah is an absolute gem! She recently took care of our 3 pups and our home while we spent a week at the beach, and she went above and beyond! She made sure we were updated on how the pups were doing and actively looked for ways to help us around our home to make our return so much easier. Our pups were so happy when we came home, we could tell they received so much TLC. Highly recommend!”
“We can’t say enough good things about Charlotte! She watched our dog Ollie while we were out of town for a few days and we have never felt more comfortable leaving him with anyone else. Charlotte sent pictures and updates each day and was easy to communicate with. We could tell Ollie felt very comfortable with her and it made our trip that much better knowing he was well taken care of. On top of that, she took such good care of our home and left everything better than she found it. We already have her booked again for our next trip!”
“She arrived exactly on time, and took great care of the dogs. She seems very kind and gentle, and was respectful of our home. We will definitely book with her again!”
“There aren't enough wonderful things to say about Edith and my experience with her when she recently took care of my two dogs and my house for five days. From the minute I reached out to her she responded almost immediately and made me feel that she was open to help in any way. She was punctual for our 'meet and greets', and my dogs loved her the minute she came through the door. While I was out of town I was totally comfortable knowing that my dogs and everything they needed was taken care of. Edith is extremely knowledgeable about animals. Since one of my dogs is a senior, she needs extra care with meds and slower walks. Edith handled her with so much tenderness and understanding. I knew that my home and dogs were in the best hands with Edith. I cannot recommend her enough! She is exceptional. Thank you, Edith!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs and other pets of different ages, sizes, and personalities. My entire life ive been a huge animal lover and ive owned all sorts of pets! I’m patient, dependable, and focused on making pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I have experience with puppies, senior pets, feeding routines, walks, playtime, and giving pets lots of attention and care. I always pay close attention to each pet’s needs and make sure they stay happy, active, and well cared for. im currently working part time as a nursing assistant, so I’ll have plenty of time to take care of your pups! (I can rearrange times for you as well ;)) Honestly I would rather hang out with pets than humans, I have a very big yard with 3 younger brothers and my own dog to keep the pets happy and playful!
“Mila stayed at our house for 5 nights to care for our 2 dogs and 2 cats. I was nervous because it was the first time that they had been cared for by anyone other than family. Mila did a wonderful job and kept us updated throughout our trip with texts and pictures. When we arrived home, our babies were happy and everything in the house was as we had left it. We will definitely be using her services again in the future!”
“Perfect! Our sweet fur babies were cared for so wonderfully, Yi sent many updates and pictures of our 3 boys and they seemed to enjoy her company as well. This was our first time using rover and we were so glad with who we allowed in our home and around our fur babies!!”
“Cindy was absolutely fantastic! From the moment we met her, we knew our dog was in great hands. She was caring, reliable, and kept us updated with photos and messages throughout the stay, which gave us complete peace of mind. It was obvious that she genuinely loves animals, and our dog came home happy, relaxed, and well cared for. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We will definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an exceptional pet sitter! We will call her again definitely..!!!! Thank you again and again. 🙏🏼”
About: I have 3 dogs of my own that I take care of on a daily basis ranging from 2 months old to 2 years old. I have an American Eskimo, Border Collie/Shih Tzu Mix, and Miniature Goldendoodle. I love playing with my dogs as well as taking them on walks throughout the neighborhood! I currently work in office and am available to drop by twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening. I am typically at home enjoying my evening if I’m not at work! I can take your dog(s) on walks and/or dog parks. I can visit often to let them out to play in the backyard and to feed him/her.
About: Hi! My name is Iyah, and animals have always been a huge part of my life. While I am new to Rover, I'm not new to caring for fur-babies!! I have loved animals of all kinds since I arrived on this earth! I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, personalities, and energy levels through previous and current professional work experience at a dog and cat care/boarding business, along with caring for pets in my personal life as well. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, walks, playtime, basic grooming care, administering medications when needed, and making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I also understand that every dog is different, so I always try to pay attention to their personality, routines, boundaries, body language and needs. I have experience with dogs and cats of all ages, including anxious pets. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, so I always aim to provide reliable care, consistent communication, and lots of updates/photos for peace of mind. Whether your dog is energetic and playful or more shy and relaxed, I’ll make sure they receive patience, attention, love and genuine care. Your baby will be cared for and loved on as if they were my own. For me to be even more successful in what I do, I love all my clients to give me as much details about their babies as possible, I'm here to accommodate, support and make you and your pet-parent life as comfortable as possible. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family members! 🐾 ⚠️DISCLAIMER⚠️ 🐾 Meet My Pet-Care Partner! For transparency and safety, I want all pet parents to know that my fiancé, Robert, may accompany me for certain bookings—particularly overnight house-sitting stays or bookings farther away from home. Robert and I both work professionally with animals full-time and have hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats with different personalities, routines, and needs. We genuinely love what we do, and your pets’ safety, comfort, and happiness will always come first. 🐶🐱💕 For house-sitting bookings, I may request that Robert accompany me, as I am a young woman staying overnight in an unfamiliar home and area. I completely understand that this is your home, so this will always be discussed with you beforehand—there will never be an unexpected additional guest in your home. You’re also more than welcome to meet both of us during our Meet & Greet so you can feel completely comfortable with who will be caring for your pets and staying in your home. My goal is for everyone to feel safe and comfortable—your pets, you, and us! 🐾🤍 I work two jobs, but my schedules aren't consistent. I'm open to taking care of your babies whenever I am off and whenever I do have free time. I would prefer coming to your home to care for your babies as I do still stay with family who are not as dog crazy and loving as me.
About: I’ve always had a love for animals and have been surrounded by them for most of my life! Growing up around my grandmother’s farm gave me plenty of experience being around different animals. I also have 6 years of pet care experience, including caring for my grandmother’s three dogs whenever she travels. I’m comfortable feeding, walking, playing with, and looking after multiple dogs at once. I understand how important it is to know your pets are in good hands, and I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I treat every dog like they’re part of my own family! I’m currently a full-time online college student, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your furry friends! I’m also a very active person, so I love going on walks, spending time outdoors, and keeping dogs entertained. Since I’m not currently working, I’m able to dedicate plenty of time and attention to making sure your pets are happy, comfortable, and well cared for! Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priorities! Whether I’m caring for your dog in my home or yours, I always do my best to make them feel safe and loved. I understand that every dog has its own personality and routine, so I make sure to follow any specific instructions you provide. I’m attentive, patient, and love giving dogs plenty of attention, playtime, and exercise. I also understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, so I’m always happy to send pictures and updates while you’re away!
About: I want your pet to feel like it’s another home when they have to leave theirs! There’s always at least one person at home so they’ll never be by themselves, also available any holiday you need me to watch your pet. I love all dogs, will take them fork walks and can also administer medication if needed I work from home so I will be home at all times so it’s really their schedule that’s I’m working with just tell me their schedule I can dog sit, dog board, dog walk. I live in a 2 story home so they have more than enough room. I also have a playpen if you prefer
“Taryn was really sweet throughout the whole process and our two dogs seemed to respond well to her. Her photos of the dogs during her stay were endearing and showed that she formed a great relationship with them.”
“Kathy was a dream come true. I have two cats. A young and feisty female and an elderly male cat (18 years old). She took care of them like a rock star getting them both to warm up to her in the 7 days we were away. She spent time with them and nurtured them like I would. The older cat is in diapers and she handled that like a charm. When we got home our house was in order and very clean. She brought in the mail and put out the trash and generally treated our home as if it was hers. I highly recommend Kathy and will definitely use her again.”
“The first I noticed about Grace is that she notes of everything we said. She is responsible, caring and warm, and is diligent in sending updates (which is something we asked for). The extra touch was coming home to a hand written card and a frame with a paw print and nose print. I highly recommend booking with her, she she is available.”
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats my entire life! I have also taken care of neighbors pets for several years now and just looking to do so in my new home. I care for horses in my day to day and I love them and wish I could board them but I need a much bigger space for that! So in the meantime, I have a spare room where crated dogs could stay or cats! I love being around animals and I plan on getting a cat and then a dog or two in the future once I have a bigger area for them! I would love to watch and take care of your pets and you can count on me for them to be well taken care of! I work 9-5 on wednesdays and thursdays and in the evenings on weekends! Outside of those times I can be with your pet as much as needed! Mondays and Tuesdays are my days off. I am in a two story townhome with a spare room on the ground level. I can have crates if needed in there and there’s a pretty big walkable area outside of the town house for bathroom breaks and walks! At a clients home, I am comfortable with most places!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Whistleville is $25 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $25 and $38 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 Whistleville 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 Whistleville 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 Whistleville 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 Whistleville. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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.
