About: My family lives in downtown Winchester where there are plenty of places to walk. Since I am in a new season of life (semi retired) I wanted to so something I love like walk more and take care of your pet(s). I have been a dog owner for 16 years. I have trained a puppy and helped my first dog all the way through elderly care. Three cats have touched my heart, two cats from kittens through elderly stages. I offer a quiet and comforting hand to all animals. Your companion(s) are God's gift to your family and I would be honored to take care of them. I am currently working part-time for the city transportation division but have a flexible schedule so I can take care of your pet(s). I am an early riser so I don't mind those pets who need morning care. That does mean I go to bed early so I would stop at 8pm. I am a respectful semi retired lady who loves animals. My pets roam around freely at my home. They love their morning routines as I do. If I take care of your pet(s) I will keep whatever routine you have already established with love, safety, and kindness.
“Courtney is outstanding! It was our first time leaving our cat at home while we were away. She made us feel so comfortable, and reassured us that our cat was happy and so loved. She sent thorough messages after every drop-in with several pictures. She was always personable and very responsive. When we couldn’t make it home due to a nor’easter, she extended her visits several days at a moments notice. She made sure our cat was well taken care of until we could come home. She is so compassionate and truly loved our pet like her own.”

“Bethany has been great with my dogs! She eased my stress coming to check in on my dogs since my husband and I work long shifts. She gives them time to get out, stretch their legs, and use the bathroom before one of us gets home! I’m thankful for her.”
About: I have all kinds of pet care experience. I love any and all pets including the reptiles and fish! I myself have a long haired dachshund and a long haired cat I currently work part time so I have plenty of free time on my hands. I do not drive due to personal reasons but I do have reliable transportation. I like to meet my clients a couple days prior to watching their pet. I would like to have a conversation making sure I understand everything correctly.
“This was the second time I’ve had Katie check on my three cats while I was away and just like last time, she was absolutely amazing! She even threw a birthday party for my two girls, who share a birthday on July 4th. I am so beyond grateful to have found a pet sitter that has such a genuine heart for animals and gives the absolute best care. I will absolutely be booking Katie every single time I need someone to check on my babies! You can trust that she will give your pet(s) the best care and love while you are away. Thank you again, Katie! My cats will certainly be happy to see you again (especially Meejum lol)”
“I wanted Day to spend some time with my dogs prior to an extended dog sit. My GSD likes to jump on people who enter the house and gets very excited. Day took charge and let Mira know to get off and waited for her to calm down before proceeding. Both dogs have specific needs ranging from sensitive stomach issues to elderly care issues. Day got to spend time with the dogs while I left them alone to get acquainted. The visit went well. Dogs were snuggled up on the couch with Day upon my return.”

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Whitacre
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 599 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Whitacre. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Whitacre. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
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.
