Amy was super communicative throughout her time with Bettie! When I got back to my house, Bettie was happy and well taken care of. Amy was very patient with Bettie even when she would have accidents. Bettie and I would definitely recommend Amy to anyone! Thanks again Amy!

About: I have had family dogs most of my life, all were rescues. Each had their own challenges. I’m observant and will take attentive care of your pet. I am starting my masters program in the fall and have a lot of free time during the day. Usually available throughout the day including evenings. I care for them by making sure their bowls have been cleaned and filled with fresh water and food if needed. Give them attention and play with them.

About: i’ve had animals from dogs to cats and so many other animals since i was a little girl. i love watching animals for other people. i currently don’t work due to medical issues so caring for others animals when they’re away would get me out of the house. i’m always available unless i am watching someone’s animal(s) i will take on many walks and feed when they need to be fed, make them feel like they’re my own, give so much love and also give space if need be. i treat it like i’m at a sleepover with friends but my friends are the pets

About: I provide reliable, attentive care that’s tailored to each pet’s needs and personality. I have a 15 year old Yorkie mix and a 1 year old Yorkie. My experience includes caring for puppies, adult dogs, and senior pets, so I understand everything from basic training and routines to giving extra patience and comfort to older animals. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, administering medications if needed, and keeping pets active, safe, and loved while you’re away. I treat every pet like they’re my own and make sure owners feel at ease with regular updates and check-ins. I plan my day around feeding times, walks, playtime, and check-ins to make sure pets aren’t left alone for long. I’m flexible during the week and weekends, which allows me to stick closely to your pet’s normal schedule and give them the time, supervision, and care they need. I create a safe, calm environment by following each pet’s routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I have a fenced yard for secure outdoor time and always supervise pets. In your home, I respect your space while keeping your pet in their normal routine. I also provide updates and can handle special needs like medications.

About: Im familiar with giving medication, and providing exceptional care for all animals. I've cared for pets most of my life, and I have 5 years of experience in an animal shelter caring for cats and dogs. It's very rewarding, and it's the best part of my day when I see the happy tails, hear the purring and receiving those kisses. I dont live in Denton, I live in Salisbury. I do travel for my clients,[up to 50 miles] only if youre in need of a sitter for more than 3 days. We can discuss even further during a meet n greet. My full time work is as a gig worker. I make my own schedule, so I am able to care for your pets at any time. I love animals! I provide a safe, and caring environment when I care your pets. I love them like they're my own. Care would be in your home, and I usually stay overnight, unless you would like daily care, then I would come a couple times per day to provide meals, scoop litter boxes, take daily walks, etc.

I couldn’t have asked for more. Hanna stayed with our two girls - Darla and Hazel - one senior dog and one space cadet young English Setter. We got photos everyday that showed us in an instant that our girls were well taken care of. We like them to be more comfortable at home and having Hanna here with them was wonderful - she brought in the mail and took great care of our home. What a blessing and a treasure. In a heartbeat I’d ask Hanna again. Too bad she’s not available for our cruise this spring! I tried!

About: I grew up with dogs. My brother has always had big dogs. My mom has always had small dogs. We have a farm in Montana where dogs are a big part of every day life. I have a fairly open schedule and am available most times of the day and night. I do not mind working off hours and could be flexible with most schedules. I currently have a rescue cat named Ru. She is all black and was at the humane society for almost 3 months before coming home to me. I love dogs and have had many different breeds and sizes over the years. I’m hoping that we can fence in our new home so that I can rescue a new dog soon.

I also am mom to 3 fur babies of my own: My senior dog Dino, my rescue Darla, and my youngest daughter Appa. I have a genuine love for animals and will ensure that your pet receives the love and care they deserve. I will walk, feed, and play with your pet to help you give them the extra care they need while you work or take that vacation. I enjoy being active especially with animals so long walks are a favorite past time of mine even during the cold weather months. I look forward to working with you and loving your pets! Thank you for your time! Carla C. I work from home during the week and have the weekends free! I have plenty of time to drop-in and walk your pets if needed. My dogs are crated during the day while I work. Darla gets 3-4 bathroom breaks, while Appa is still being house broken. As far as my client’s home, all I need to know is what their routine is and I go from there.

About: I love any kind of dog and will treat them as my own! I’ve had a dog almost my entire adult life and now greatly miss having one after mine passed away a few years ago. I work part time 10:30-4 Monday thru Friday. I am available before and after those hours. I take several walks a day as I like to stay active, but it is much more fun when there is a pet to accompany you! I have a large fenced in backyard and lots of toys to play with. My neighborhood is very pet friendly, has many sidewalks, and has lots of nice yards to poop in! I also have a park close by that is pet friendly. I will give your pet the love and attention they deserve!

About: I love all animals: big, small, and in-between! If you need a great pet sitter that loves animals and has reliable transportation, let me know! I'd love to take care of your pet and provide them with the love, care, and hospitality they need and deserve. If this is your first time using Rover, please let me know and I will give you a promo code that gives you $20 off of your first booking. Your pet would never be home alone for more than 2 hours max- pet sitting is my full time job, so the only time I’m gone is to take care of other animals or go to the dog park! I take my clients pups for walks, to the dog park (if appropriate for the particular dog), and we have a great time hanging out in my home in between!

Brooke is a wonderful pet sitter! Amigo is a rescue and had a sad beginning so he is sometimes withdrawn around strangers but he immediately loved Brooke! She is so reliable and shows up on time and lets you know her schedule in advance. She is great with animals and a very sweet person. She is very smart and catches on quickly. Reluctantly highly recommend her because if everyone uses her she might be too busy when we need her next and I definitely want her the next time we need a sitter!

FAQs for House Sitting - Whitehaven

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of August 2026, there are 199 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Whitehaven. 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 Whitehaven 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 Whitehaven 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 Whitehaven 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Whitehaven. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% 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.
