“Wendy was amazing with our pups. We came home to happy pups and a clean home. She gave us daily reports and pics. She gave some feedback to consider. One of our pups like boundaries and she handled him very well.”
About: I have grown up caring for animals and have hands-on experience with cats, dogs, and small animals, including my own three cats, dog, and guinea pig. As a proud cat mom to a tripod cat, I also have personal experience providing extra medical care, administering medications, and adjusting routines to meet an animal’s individual needs. I also gained valuable animal care experience through my internship at Tiger World Endangered Wildlife Preserve, where I worked with a variety of species, including big cats, primates, bears, and other exotic animals. My responsibilities included preparing diets, cleaning habitats, providing enrichment, observing animal behavior, and assisting with daily animal care routines. Outside of that experience, I have pet-sat for friends and family, caring for their animals while they were away. I am currently studying Animal Behavior and Environmental Science, with a long-term goal of working in wildlife conservation. I bring patience, reliability, and a genuine passion for understanding animal behavior to every pet I care for. Whether it’s providing daily care, keeping pets mentally stimulated, or accommodating special health needs, I love making sure every animal feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I am currently an online student, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of opportunities to fill my free time with something I love: caring for animals! I would love to spend that extra time looking after your furry friends and making sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, and care while you’re away. I have flexible availability throughout the week and on weekends, and I’m happy to accommodate drop-in visits, walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and whatever else your pets may need. My goal is to make sure your pets feel comfortable and loved! I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and enriching environment for every pet I care for. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely to maintain their pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, exercise, and any special care needs. I focus on providing enrichment through play, attention, and mental stimulation while also respecting each pet’s comfort level. I’m attentive to safety at all times, ensuring pets are secure, supervised, and stress-free in their environment.
“Abigail is the best! My dog, Dottie, is a very anxious girl and she warmed up to Abigail after only a couple minutes during our meet and greet. She sent pictures the entire time I was away and took such amazing care of Dottie. I would recommend her for any dogs and will definitely have her comeback to take care of my girl the next time I need an overnight sitter.”
About: I have been around dogs and multiple cats ever since I was 5, but have been pet sitting for a year as additional income. I have dog sat a range of breeds from german shepherds to Maltese's. My routine when I go on walks is as needed for the dog, but on average 3 walks a day (morning, afternoon, night) if you live in a neighborhood/condo, may vary depending on location. Please feel free to ask questions! I am currently a senior at Indiana University, and I have classes on Tuesday and Thursdays. So, I will have plenty of time for your pets! I love to go on evening walks with my roommates, play lacrosse, read, and attend IU football games! Ideally I would go to/stay your home so that your pet(s) are as comfortable as possible! I will cater my routine to your pets personality, if they are an early riser, so am I. If they like to lounge and watch 101 Dalmatians, so do I. I am here to make you and your pets lives easier!
About: I’ve grown up with dogs all my life. All of which have been large 80-110 pound dogs. My parents currently have 3 large dogs that I used to live with. I am currently a full time student so I would totally be down to watch dogs and cats all day while my clients go to work or out of town. I am trying to start my own food business so I get to do that during my free time. Throughout the years of having my own family dogs, I have learned when a dog is uncomfortable in a situation and when to get them out of a situation.
“Sara has been incredible to work with! I just got a new puppy who is full of energy. Sara is very quick to respond to my messages and very accommodating. It's obvious that she loves Maverick like her own and is very attentive to his needs. I will definately be using her whenever I need a sitter!”
About: I have had cats and taken care of them as long as I can remember. I have also had numerous pet sitting jobs for dogs and all of my family members have dogs. I will love and care for them if they are loud and rambunctious, or if they are shy and quiet! I work part time, and have plenty of time to take care of pets. I make my own schedule and am very flexible with my hours. As long as you tell me your routine, I will take care of your as if you were caring for them yourself. If you feed them custom food, I will make their plate with love. I can follow whatever routine and pet rules you have.
About: I have cared for dogs and other wonderful animals since I was a child. I have cared for them professionally for 18 years. They have ranged in different ages and different abilities. I've cared for dogs with wheels to chickens needing help with laying eggs. I get to do one of the best things in the world, caring for your pet. Currently, I work 8:00-3:00, Monday-Friday, as a professional Nanny. My pet care would be included before and after these hours and on weekends, as needed. I, usually, stay at the pets home, while their parents are out of town. I have also taken care of pets before/after my work hours to play or let them out, while their parent is working/unavailable. I have 3 dogs and one bird. The dogs are free to us the doggie door to roam outside whenever with the safety of the fenced in yard. I take my German Shepherd and Australian Shepherd on walks regularly. My Shelty has a harder time walking but he loves tummy rubs! Needless to say I spoil them regularly with fresh pumpkin/treats and toys. When it comes to my clients, I do everything by their "book." I would care for your loved ones they way that you would. How you feed, give medicine, let them out is and more, is how I will do it.
About: I have babysat for many family members and friends. I worked at a dog daycare business for 3 years as well! I have tons of experience with just about any breed, and I am always happy to learn something new about taking care of your pet! I’m a current student at IU Bloomington, so I’d love to help out between classes and studying! My schedule is usually pretty open throughout the week. I love going for walks or just hanging out at home with pets, let me know whatever your furry friend needs to have the best time possible!

About: I've taken care of many pets in my lifetime, including pet and house sitting for family and friends. I love most animals (snakes scare me). I live in the last house on a dead end county road and have plenty of room for animals to play and have fun. Plus, my kids and our pets will have fun visiting and playing with your pets. I currently work weekends only as a RN. I am home Mondays-Thursdays. I do have 3 kids of my own, so I do have to get them to and from school. We have a large yard for pets to play. Dogs will always be on leashes as our yard is in currently fenced. We live in the last house on a dead end country road, so no cars come past our home. I can easily crate your pet if needed. We have a friendly female dog and 3 friendly cats.
“Shakarra was great with our 2 dogs! They can be a lot but they loved her! She was very responsive and sent pictures. I was so grateful to have her here and take care of them!”
“Ok, randa, was so kind, cordial and very polite, my doggie, was in morning because her mate just passed away a few weeks before Amanda had to babysit for 3 days in my home, Amana contacted me always and little fur baby warmed up to her she was amazing very professional kept in touch with me send me pictures, cleaned up after herself very responsible very compassionate and compassionate with my dog I highly recommend her to anybody.”
About: I had German Shepherds, Welsh Corgis, a Jindo, and a mixed-breed dog back in Korea, and all of them were well trained. When I meet a new dog, I try to become their friend by making gentle eye contact, lowering myself to their eye level, and offering my hand while patiently waiting until they feel I am safe. I have also dealt with aggressive dogs several times, and in the end, they too became my friends. Since I work from home with flexible time during the week, I have not had my own pet yet because I felt it would be unfair to leave them alone for long hours. However, on weekends I usually dedicate time to myself through photography, driving, and hiking, and I would truly enjoy having the company of your dog or cat during those times. Taking care of a pet would naturally fit into my routine as part of those weekend activities, giving me both companionship and joy while also ensuring the pet has quality time and attention. In my home, I would care for pets as if they were my own friends—providing attention, playtime, and walks, even on rainy days, to make sure they stay active and happy. In a client’s home, I would first ask about any rules or restrictions, such as areas of the house that are off-limits, preferred snacks, daily routines, and any medical concerns. I believe following the owner’s guidance is very important to ensure the pet feels comfortable and safe in their familiar environment.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Whitehall is $30 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 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 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.
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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Whitehall. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
