“Melanie was amazing. This was my first time having a sitter and she treated my little pup as it was her own. I received updates and pictures which was perfect. I would highly recommend Melanie and I plan to use her again in the future.”
“Bishop is the perfect person to care for your four legged baby. Our boy had so much fun with him and kept looking around the house afterward hoping to find him around. That’s the best feeling when you have to leave your baby for a while.”
“Essence provided an outstanding service and took care of our boy and the house while we were gone for a 7 day vacation. I would definitely recommend her to anyone needing animal care in the home.”
“Miriam did the best job taking care of our dog while we were out of town. Miriam did a great job communicating, sending photos, updates, and left our home in fantastic condition. We have a senior dog with some anxiety, and Miriam was very experienced and understanding, which truly can’t express how much that’s appreciated. Would rebook with Miriam any time and suggest you to do the same!”
“OMG! Jamie came through for us at the last minute when our travel plans were disrupted by Southwest Airlines. She handled the situation and our German Shepard well beyond anything we could have expected!! We highly recommend her!!! Thank you, thank you Jamie!!!!”
About: I'm from Texas and grew up around an assortment of animals, mostly dogs and cats. I have unique experience with newborn kittens including bottle feeding. I also have experience with puppies and large dogs and training, farm experience. I have experience with walk training especially with puppies. I work a full-time job Monday through Friday, Early out Fridays (3 pm) On Weekdays I am available after 6pm until 5am. On Weekends I have open availability. Thank you for checking my schedule, if you have any specific needs please reach out, I am able to adjust my schedule if needed and I have holidays off. I currently only have aquariums but I do my best to make sure that my aquariums are clean and my fish are fed. This makes sure that they don't get sick. I would do the same in a client's home, I do the same when I watch my friends pets as well. I cat sit for a couple friends and help clean up and make sure the cats are fed and have play time.
“Henry was very easy to work with and did an amazing job taking care of our two pups!! He sent us updates and pictures throughout our time away. I would highly recommend him if you are looking for someone to stay at your place to watch your fur babies!!”
“Madalaina did a great job! She followed all my instructions and made sure that the dogs were safe and comfortable in their own home. She kept the home nice and tidy and sent me regular updates. Will definitely use again.”
“Kristen was amazing! She was so great with the dogs and she communicated so well with me the whole week. I have a what most people call a difficult dog and she was great with him giving him proper space if needed and allowing him to come to her for comfort. And our other dog was very comfortable and loved a good cuddle with her. House was clean when we got home! Can’t say enough great things about her. We will definitely be booking with her again!”
About: Pet care has always come second nature to me as a 4th generation farmer. Between farming and 4H, I learned the intricacies of animal care at a young age and have used these skills to provide first-class experience for all pets I visit. I'm confident in reading animal body language, administering medications/shots, and providing specialized care for senior or reactive pets. I work a part-time, in-person job, so most day/afternoon hours are unavailable. Morning, evening, and nights are my best hours. My ideal pets can go 4-8 hours between bathroom visits. I try to keep your pet's routine as unchanged as possible while you're away, which is why I prefer housesitting over boarding. Your pet benefits from their usual comforts, and you get housesitting services included.
About: I have taken care of various kinds of dogs, ranging from large to small. Through house sitting with my mother when I was younger, I gained valuable experience and learned how to adapt to each dog's specific needs then. More recently, I have gained even deeper insight after getting a dog of my own and watching him grow from a small puppy into the big, 60-pound boy he is today. Through this, I have developed various approaches to managing dogs and creating a safe, fun environment for both the dog and myself. I myself have a very needy dog. His name is Danny he loves to be very wild, which has taught me various lessons on setting aside boundaries for the dog. Very well. He eats a organic diet mixed with his regular feed. He has various stress-tension toys which are kindred to his rough play style. He also gets vet visits often.
About: I have several years of experience providing dog and cat sitting for friends and family, as well as professional experience working at a dog boarding facility, Dog Gone Crazy. I am dedicated to ensuring every pet feels safe, comfortable, and happy while in my care. I am a graduate of Kent State University with a bachelor’s degree in Biology and have spent the past three years working with zoo animals, which has strengthened my understanding of animal behavior and care. I truly enjoy meeting new pets and look forward to caring for each one as if they were my own — because every visit should end with a happy tail wag 🐾 I am currently working the Columbus zoo with animal care and even on my days off I still love to be around animals! I have experience with a variety of different animals and I can’t wait to meet more friends! I make sure to respect everyone’s homes and follow directions promptly. Every animal is different and I like to make an effort to learn every animal I work with and to know their boundaries.
“Megan is awesome! Great communication with lots of picture updates! She took such good care of the pups and the house was in perfect condition when we got home! Definitely hope to use her services again! Thank you Megan!!”
“Kaelin was great with my 2 cats! She sent me updated & pictures while I was away. I came home to my place being just as I left it. I will definitely use her again in the future if I’m out of town and highly recommend her! Great communication from the time I booked with her. 😊”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Whitehall
First time Rover here! Melanie was a godsend! She was extremely communicative, sending updates and pictures often, which was extremely appreciated. I was a little anxious leaving my puppy for the first time but she put my mind at ease every step of the way! I cannot thank her enough!
Aspen made the whole process incredibly easy! She took fantastic care of my baby and my home as well and even went the extra mile to ensure I came home to clean sheets on the bed after a long day of travel!! I especially loved the picture updates she would send of my pup while I was away, which eased my anxiety a lot. Will 1000% be booking her in the future
Gabby is wonderful—reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring with Sebastian. He’s always calm and happy when I get home, which means everything. She even went out of her way to stop by after work when I realized I’d be getting in later than expected. Highly recommend!
Deanna is the dog walker we've been looking for! She was able to help us last minute and was absolutely amazing. Her communication was perfect, we never wondered how our pups were doing or what services she was providing. She is our new go-to dog walker, and would recommend anybody.
We had a wonderful experience with Laura and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable pet sitter. We needed to be out of town helping family, Laura stepped in on short notice and was fantastic. Bentley is very much a part of our family—he sleeps with us and has an early morning routine—so we didn’t want to kennel him or leave him alone with drop-in visits. Having Laura stay in our home gave us complete peace of mind. She took the time to come over and meet Bentley with us beforehand, arrived exactly when she said she would, and took excellent care of him all weekend. She sent regular updates and pictures, which meant a lot to us while we were away. It was clear Bentley was comfortable, well cared for, and happy. Laura was trustworthy, communicative, and genuinely kind to our dog. We wouldn’t hesitate to book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for in-home pet care.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Whitehall is $56 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $78 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 November 2026, there are 1,463 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.
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.
