“Our experience with Sydney was great from start to finish. She took the time to understand our dogs’ routines and kept us updated with messages and photos throughout. When we got home, our younger pup kept looking around for her, which really says it all about how comfortable and happy the girls felt. We came back to two relaxed dogs and couldn’t be more grateful. We’d gladly book again and recommend their services.”
“Obi can be anxious but he was well cared for. Plenty of communication and updates, lots of play time, and he made a new dog friend with Astrid! 10/10 will rebook with Richard!”
“Francesca was so sweet. She did an excellent job caring for Sarge, going above and beyond by taking him on extra long walks (which are his favorite!) and was great with communication/sending pictures and updates. She also left the house spotless!!”
“Katrina is so amazing with our dogs! She takes care of them like her own and follows all instructions to the tee. This is my second time booking with her and won’t be my last.”
About: Walking dogs and taking care of cats was a big part in my life. I’ve been walking dogs for about 8 years and I’ve taken care of cats for 10 years. I enjoy playing with my neighbors dogs when they are away and I will do the same for yours! I’m also currently apprenticing under a dog trainer and I’m more than willing to take on difficult situations! I’m currently in college for Zoology on dog behavior and I’m doing online courses so making time for your pets is not a difficult task! I am free every weekday anytime and anytime on the weekends! I take my dogs to a wonderful, secluded, and fenced in dog park. If your dog is not big on other animals I can change and adapt to whatever your pup is comfortable with! I also have 2 dog crates that are very comfortable and welcoming! I know how to give all types of medicines for animals.
“Teneisha was INCREDIBLE! We were away for a week and she watched our senior dog and two cats. The boys were happy and well taken care of. We received frequent updates, photos, and videos. We will be regulars for sure!”
“Traisaun is great. We have 4 active cuddly animals and even when we come home they will go and see if Traisaun is still here! He clearly treats your pets the way you would treat them (and sometimes even better because he puts up with more antics than I do!)”

“Erin is the most wonderful pet / house sitter!! We were nervous to leave our recent rescue with someone new and we are so happy we found Erin. She asked thoughtful detailed questions ahead of her stay which indicated to us how much she cared about getting the routine right and how attentive she’d be to our girl’s needs during her stay. Being a new rescue with medical needs, our dog requires consistency in her routine and feedback re certain behaviors and Erin took great care to follow our directions. Communication before and during was always quick and clear, and we loved receiving the many photo updates most of all! Overall, we found Erin to be extremely kind, thoughtful, detail oriented, respectful and reliable. She seemed to genuinely enjoy getting to know our dog. We will definitely be asking Erin to pet sit for us again!”
“Chris and Paula watched our sweet Soka girl and house for 9 days. They were kind, prompt, responsive, communicated with us regularly. Kept us up to date on photos and overall took incredible care of our pup! Highly recommend and will book again! 🐾”
“Lyla did a fantastic job taking care of my puppy. My dog is itty and needed lots of out door breaks and play. Lyla was able to accommodate to my puppy’s many puppy needs. I would absolutely use Lyla’s services again and would recommend her to anyone who needs support caring for their pet.”

Alexis house sat for us and took care of our two kitties. She kept us updated on how things were going and sent pictures. We came home to a clean house which was much appreciated after a very long day of travel. We recommend Alexis to take care of your fur baby/babies. We will definitely ask her take care of our babies next time we are going out of town.
Lisa is wonderful. She is so kind, caring and trustworthy. She stayed with our dog while we were out of town and was so easy to communicate with. She sent pictures of our pup who was clearly having fun playing, and she was really responsive as well. We really trust her in our home and with our dog.
Amanda was so fantastic! My trip plans shifted last minute and I had to have her leave for a day and come back after she’d already started to settle in, and she was soooo understanding and flexible. She was very communicative, sent great pics, and left my house in great condition. My animals are happy and healthy and it sounds like everyone had a great time! I will definitely ask Amanda (and Jack), to sit for us again in the future. 🙂
Jamie is simply the best and I cannot recommend her enough. I have two large dogs - a lab and german shepherd who both adore her and her son. Not only did she take great care of the dogs, but was great at sending updates and cute photos. She is a great communicator and a true dog lover. Can’t wait to use her again!
These two ladies provide a wonderful service! Friendly, attentive, professional and willing to go the extra mile needed to make sure all is well at home on your return. We were gone 10 days and the care of our 3 cats and dog was awesome! We hope to be able to schedule again in the future! Thanks again you two for making our trip worry free!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Whitehall is $63 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $36 and $89 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 1,428 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 , 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.
