“Sara loved on our dogs while we were gone, and that's all we could ask for. She kept us updated throughout the weekend and sent us lots of photos. We felt very comfortable being gone knowing our pups were in good hands.”
About: I pride myself on my ability to connect with dogs and cats of all ages and temperaments. I’ve cared for cats and dogs my whole life (both my own and those of my neighbors, friends, and family). I’m a responsible, patient pet lover, with a soft spot shy, skittish animals. Happy to feed, walk, or care for your fur babies in any way! I work full time Monday-Friday, but I have an hour over lunch where I’m available for a quick walks or check ins. I am free any weekday after 5 pm. My weekend schedule is almost always wide open! I am a detail-oriented person, and you can count on me to follow any and all instructions regarding your pet’s care. I am attentive and responsible when it comes to both animal supervision and home care. If any issues arise, I’m also a great and communicative problem solver!
“Samantha did a great job watching our stubborn English Bulldog. She’s reliable and gave us peace of mind while we were gone for 8 days. Our pup has some behavioral quirks but Samantha was patient and did not have any issues caring for her. We came back to a calm and relaxed pup. Our home was also left clean. Thank you Samantha!”
About: With over 10 years of hands-on experience in pet care, I have developed a deep and compassionate understanding of animal’s needs and behavior! I am an owner of two dogs (ages 3 and 5), and will treat your fur babies as my own. They are truly a part of the family and should be treated as such! I have experience with puppies as well as senior animals and can administer medicine, help with training, and go on walks with them! I currently work four days a week but would be available on Saturdays, Sundays, and Mondays to help out with your pet care needs! I am more of a home body on the weekends so I often do not have plans and would be able to care for your pets with no issues! There’s no better way to fill time than to take the best care of other’s pets! Animals mean the world to me and I aim to aid your animals in the way that you want them cared for. If they need to be crated, I can ensure that they are not in distress. If they have a special routine, I will make sure to adhere to that. I want your animal as comfortable around me as they’d be around their own family!
“Lani did a great job taking care of our high-energy dog. She responded quickly, sent photos, and went the extra mile to make sure our pup was happy and well cared for. We would definitely call on her again in the future.”
“Jackson was great with our 3 srong willed boys. They were very calm when we returned and were well taken care of and the house was left in good order. We will definitely book Jackson again.”
“I had a very long day and night at work and I needed someone last minute to come to my house and stay with my puppy dachshund. She's amazing with communication and I already knew she was going to be a great fit. BELLA loved her and I felt so safe and comfortable leaving. I got picture updates often along with check ins. If Michella is available, I'll only use her to watch Bella at my place. Thanks again Michelle!! You're Great!!”
“Absolutely lovely people who sent pictures and updates regularly while we were out of town. Came home to happy cats and a clean home! We really appreciate their flexibility and how much they loved on our fur babies and we will definitely request to rebook in the future!”
About: I have taken care of both dogs and cats for a week+ on end. As well, I have two large dogs at home and two cats. One of my cats has diabetes, and so I am comfortable with giving him his insulin as well. I am currently a full time student, but other than class I am available to take care of your pets! The best times of days for me to stop by are Monday, Wednesday, and Friday mornings, as well as the afternoons every day. In your home, I love playing with lots of toys with your pets (I have two big dogs at home) as well as I love going on long walks (bonus if your pet has a lot of energy!) I also love just sitting and being company- I always have homework and love having a buddy to sit with me
“Hannah took great care of our dog Gail. She’s an anxious dog but Hannah was patient with her. When we would leave Gail with previous sitters, we’ve come home to a nervous dog but she was her normal self after being cared for by Hannah!”
“Austin was great! I planned a last-minute trip on a holiday weekend and he was able to accommodate me, including the trip getting cut short. He took great care of my dog and my home. He'll be my first call next time I need someone!”
About: I’ve always had dogs my whole life, I currently have a Pitt Bull Mix. The majority of my experience is with medium to large dogs, but I love all of them. I have plenty of experience with dogs! I grew up with dogs and I’ve had plenty in my life. Right now I have a very high energy Pitt Bull mix and she’s very spoiled! But, like my grandpa says, “a spoiled dog is a good dog.” I have a very high energy dog, who would love a playmate! She’s very loving and friendly! She would do well with a friendly and playful dog.
About: Hi! I'm Susanna, and by day two I'm usually besties with your pet. When I'm not spending time with animals, I'm a graduate student in landscape architecture and currently interning at Watermark Landscape Architecture and Land Planning. I love being outdoors, staying active, and connecting with nature—which is one of the reasons I love caring for pets. Whether your dog enjoys a leisurely stroll or needs to burn off energy with a run, I'm happy to match their pace (I'll always go the extra block for them!). I live right by the Ecusta Trail, so daily walks are already part of my routine. I'm friendly, responsible, reliable, and will treat your pet like one of my own. I currently have a 4-year-old indoor/outdoor cat, and I grew up with dogs, so I know how much they become part of the family. I miss having dogs around and would love the chance to get to know yours! I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I'm happy to follow any care instructions to help them feel comfortable while you're away. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands. My schedule is very flexible. I'm available before 9:00 a.m. and after 5:00 p.m. on weekdays, and I'm generally available throughout the weekends. I'd love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family—I can't wait to become your pet's new favorite friend! Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I already structure my day around being active and spending time outdoors. On weekdays, I’m typically available early in the morning before 9 a.m. and again in the evenings after 5 p.m., which works well for consistent walks, feedings, and check-ins. I like starting and ending my day outside, so incorporating dog walks or cat care visits into those times feels very natural and enjoyable for me. Living near the Ecusta Trail also makes it easy for me to take dogs on longer, enriching walks as part of my regular routine. As a graduate student, my schedule is flexible, and I’m able to plan my day around pet care commitments. On weekends, I generally have open availability, which allows me to provide more extended visits, extra walks, or more time for pets who need additional attention. Since I already care for my own cat daily, pet care is not something I “fit in”—it’s already part of how I live. I’m used to being consistent, attentive, and responsible with feeding schedules, litter box care, exercise, and companionship. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine consistent and stress-free by closely following all instructions for feeding, walks, litter box care, medication, and any special needs. For dogs, I provide walks and exercise based on their energy level, whether that’s relaxed neighborhood strolls or longer outings on nearby trails. I prioritize safety, attention, and positive interaction. For cats, I take a calm, patient approach and adjust to their personality—some want play and attention, while others prefer quiet space. I always ensure they have fresh food and water, clean litter boxes, and a comfortable environment. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and well-being and communicate regularly with updates and photos so owners feel confident and at ease while away. My goal is to care for every pet as thoughtfully as I would my own.
About: i’ve grown up with dogs and cats. i have 2 cats and 2 dogs at my parents. i have experience with all sizes of dogs. i also have experience in senior care for dogs (my dog is 18). i’m a bartender on the weekends sometimes, so my days are always free, especially week days! i mainly take online classes so my availability is pretty open! i love animals and will treat your babies as if they are my own! i’m always happy to do whatever your pet needs to feel loved and safe.
“Chris took great care of our two dogs and our house while we were away for about a week. He took the time to get to know our dogs and even got them a special treat! We would be happy to book with him again.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed their pets. I also had a Shih Tzu for 3 years, so I understand the special care and attention smaller breeds need. From playful pups to older dogs needing a gentle touch, I’m confident in my ability to keep your pets safe, happy, and well-loved! 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. Whether your pet needs playtime, cuddles, or a calm presence, I am happy to accommodate their unique needs and routines. You can count on me to be attentive, responsible, and caring at all times.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Whitehall
Ashlyn is a wonderful sitter and makes leaving your fur baby so much easier. She is communicative and so kind. She watched our Maple girl for the weekend and not only sent us pictures and updates, but also got her a pup cup to enjoy and had Tom and Jerry playing on the tv for her when she left. Couldn’t ask for better!
Raina was exemplary! She took great care of our of menagerie (dogs, cats, and fish), leaving them healthy and happy. She followed every instruction we left! Amazing. Smart and kind! I loved her updates with fun pix of our fur babies. They completely accepted her as their new adopted mom! It was comforting to know she was enjoying them, too. This was the best puppy-and-cat babysitting experience we've ever had. We will definitely hire her again and again. She feels like family now, and I'm sure the animals agree :)
We have booked with Tameron several times to watch our kitties, and this was our first time having Tameron watch our dog as well. We had to leave town on short notice, and Tameron was so gracious and worked with us to make sure our babies were cared for. We cannot speak highly enough of Tameron, her communication, and knowledge of animals and their behaviors. We will continue to book with Tameron in the future!
soraya was great with Kulfi. Took care of all her needs. Worked around her schedule. Cleaned up after herself. I did in house sitting for kulfi and she kept my place nice and tidy just like I left it. Would definitely recommend to others and use her services again to take care of my baby.
Amelia is absolutely amazing. I am definitely going to use her again as she took great care of our dog Maple. Everything from walks to treats and she wrote me the most kind, sincere letter on when I returned home about dropping my son off a college. A real class act in my book, thank you Amelia!
This was our first time using Rover. Lyss was so great about coming and meeting our dogs before we confirmed. I love the interaction she had with them and her questions showed she really cared. She took great care of them and we are definitely going to be using her in the future!
Ashtyn was wonderful! She watched Lenny over the weekend while I was out of town and kept me updated with the cutest photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. She communicated clearly, asked questions when needed, and took great care of him. I came home to a happy pup and a clean house — such a nice bonus. I felt completely comfortable the entire time and would absolutely book her again. Highly recommend!

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 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.
