About: Hello, my name is Kim! I am a former vet assistant, and current wildlife biologist with extended experience caring for critters of all kinds. I have worked in vet hospitals, kennels, as well as private homes caring for both cats, and dogs. I have extensive experience administering daily medications both oral, subdermal, and injectables like insulin I pride myself in making the process as stress free as possible which means treats, and pets. I'm also experienced in walking dogs of all shapes, sizes, and activity levels so no need to worry about you pup not getting enough exercise! I'm more then happy to take them out for a long hike with plenty of photo updates for you! I am currently only working part time so I have plenty of time to take care of you precious family members weather it be walking and exercising you dogs. Or entertaining your tiny feline overlord, preparing a feast for you reptilian regent, partying with your parrot I'm prepared for it all. With dogs I am more the happy to take them out on hikes as well as out things to places like private dogs parks to let them get all the sniffing and fetching out of their system. Before any pet sitting occurs I'd love to sit down and chat with you about your pet kids and what needs it is you would like for me to fulfill while you are gone to help keep everything as stress free as possible for both you and your pet. Along with more special needs if your pets need them like medication administration and the time frame of when it need to be administered, or things such as diet restrictions. If there are multiple pets in the household how feeding times go if pets are ok with being fed together or need to be separated or observed during feeding times.

About: Furbabies have been my best friends since childhood! From sitting for friends to taking care of my own, dogs and cats have always held a special place in my heart. I have house/pet sat for family and friends as well as worked at a dog daycare, so I am familiar with a variety of dog types and the care these animals need to be at their happiest! I’m currently working a very flexible part-time job, so I am able to spend plenty of time with all your furbabies! I am usually available anytime on Friday-Sundays and after 5pm on weekdays! I am always happy to pet sit and house sit overnight if needed! And am able to provide any and all kinds of walking/playing time. From being the personal driver to the park or just walking around your neighborhood, I will always bring forward a caring environment for your pet.

I have a very flexible schedule and can accommodate to last minute bookings. Especially during the summer so feel free to ask questions regarding it.

“Peyton is just wonderful! She did overnights with 3 of my dogs while we went to the beach. I couldn’t be happier! It was so nice to have the peace of mind that the dogs were well cared for. Peyton sent pictures every day, gave me updates, and even brought treats for the dogs! If you hire her, your pets will be in such good hands. I would definitely hire Peyton again in the future!”

About: I am a lifelong pet lover and have grown up with two dogs and one cat in my home at all times, giving me an understanding of what it takes to keep pets happy, healthy, and safe. Outside of my own pets, I’ve cared for my family’s dogs, friends’ dogs, and neighbors’ dogs, handling everything from daily walks to overnight stays. I have experience with large and small breeds, as well as dogs with varied temperaments and social behaviors, so I’m comfortable adapting to each pet’s unique needs. I have a genuine passion for animals, especially dogs. I am very active, which will ensure your pet will get all the energy out that they need to. I love taking dogs on daily walks, playing outdoors, and engaging in fun activities like wrestling or fetch to keep them stimulated. Whether you have a high-energy puppy or a senior dog needing extra care, I’m attentive and patient, ensuring they feel loved and secure. I’m also experienced with drop-in visits, playtime, and overnight care, always prioritizing your pet’s safety and happiness. I am not afraid of a mess and am committed to keeping your space clean and your pet content. Some of my skills include working with puppies as well as providing gentle, attentive care for senior dogs, ensuring their comfort and well-being. With a focus on clear communication and reliable service, I strive to give pet parents peace of mind while creating a fun, safe environment for their pet family members. As a part-time employee at a private gym and a full-time student, I’ve structured my week to balance my commitments while prioritizing flexible, reliable pet care. My schedule allows me to offer consistent availability for dog walking, drop-in visits, playtime, or overnight stays, ensuring your pet gets the attention they deserve. • Monday: Available after 5:30 PM for evening walks, drop-ins, or overnight care. • Tuesday: Available 8:00 AM–10:00 AM for morning walks or playtime, and after 4:45 PM for evening sessions or overnight stays. • Wednesday: Available after 6:30 PM for evening walks, drop-ins, or overnight care. • Thursday: Available after 4:45 PM for evening walks, playtime, or overnight stays. • Friday: Available after 3:15 PM for afternoon/evening walks, drop-ins, or overnight care. • Saturday: Available all day when in town and when I am not cheering on the DAWGS, for walks, playtime, drop-ins, or full-day/overnight care. • Sunday: Available after 2:00 PM for afternoon/evening walks, playtime, or drop-ins. I provide reliable, attentive pet care tailored to your dog’s needs, whether in my home or yours, for services like dog walking, drop-ins, or overnight stays. In My Home: I live in a pet-friendly apartment with a pet-loving roommate. My space is safe, with secure furniture and no hazardous items. The gated, fenced neighborhood offers ample outdoor space for walks and play. I can crate your dog if needed or provide a comfortable spot for them to rest. I ensure regular exercise, feeding, and care based on your dog’s routine. In Your Home: I respect your space, leaving it as I found it. I follow your instructions for feeding, walks, or playtime, keeping your home clean and secure. I’m experienced with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and ages, and I handle messes without issue. I focus on safety and consistency, adapting to your dog’s needs while providing clear communication. Let me know your preferences, and I’ll keep your pet happy and cared for.

About: I don’t just show up—I take the time to understand each cat’s individual personality, preferences, and quirks. Whether that means respecting their need for space or engaging them with their favorite toy, I adapt my care to fit them. I also keep pet parents in the loop with updates and photos, so they feel confident and at ease while they’re away. My experience, reliability, and love for animals make me someone pets can trust—and someone owners can count on. I’m based in Athens, GA, working part time. For the holiday season I will be in Atlanta. I’m most free in the evenings and morning before 9 a.m. When caring for pets, I focus on creating a calm, safe, and loving environment tailored to each animal’s unique needs. I stick closely to feeding and medication schedules, keep living spaces clean, and make sure pets get plenty of playtime, enrichment, and affection. For cats, that might mean quiet companionship and interactive toys; for dogs, it often means long walks, games, and plenty of exercise. I also communicate regularly with pet parents, providing updates and photos so they know their pets are happy and well cared for while they’re away.

About: I have always had a pet for as long as I can remember and I have loved them all dearly and enjoyed their company and taking care of them. Friends have had me check in on and care for their pets while they are busy with school or work. I enjoy meeting pets of all sizes and breeds and giving them the care and love I would give to my own pets. I am currently working toward my Master’s at the University of Georgia in Exercise Science. A typical day consists of me going to my internship for a couple of hours, class, and then internship again in the evening for a couple more hours. I have plenty of free time in the morning and afternoon to hangout by the pool, workout, do homework, or take care of some furry friends! I make sure to respect every client's home and belongings when providing care to pets. I aim to make sure the space is clean and am happy to clean up any pet related accidents. I provide high-quality care to any pet and make sure to follow instructions correctly.

“Carolyn was very (beyond very good) with my dog Leo. Leo can be a handful at times due his high levels of energy and playfulness but Carolyn seemed to keep him busy. She took him to work, and even cut his nails (which I typically have to give him anti-anxiety drugs for) before the groomer can even touch him. Carolyn was great with checking in while I was out of the country by sending me pictures of Leo assuring me that they were safe and sound. I would highly recommend Carolyn, and look forward to having her dog sit in the near future!”

Ashlyn is a wonderful sitter and makes leaving your fur baby so much easier. She is communicative and so kind.

FAQs for House Sitting - Whitehall

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Whitehall is $43 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $60 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.

As of October 2026, there are 586 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Whitehall. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 Whitehall 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 Whitehall 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 Whitehall 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 with handling special pet needs in Whitehall. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
