“Maria was wonderful housesitting our 9 week old Berner puppy. She was so kind and warm and made us and our pup Moose so comfortable. She’s very experienced with puppies and puppy training and does so well. This was our first time working with her but definitely won’t be our last, she was absolutely wonderful!!”
“Hadija took excellent care of our dog and cats while we were away. She provided regular updates and photos and was even able to administer meds that I know are tricky. So glad to have found a wonderfully reliable petsitter! Thank you Hadija!”
About: Hiya, I'm Jackson! I've always loved dogs and cats, and enjoy providing a kind and gentle environment for them. And if I'm lucky, a playful one! I would be honored to give you peace of mind knowing your furry family is well taken care of. I am more than comfortable with dog walking and housesitting to accommodate both yours and your pet's needs. I have experience with large breeds like German Shepherds, and medium ones like Huskies and Pittbulls. My schedule is quite flexible, as I currently work from home. I also have my own car for transportation, so fitting into your schedule is made easier. I treat each pet with kindness and compassion. They are just as important as any other member of the household to me. They bring so much joy and peace to our lives I couldn't imagine treating them any other way.
“Ethan is great! He's so good with my puppy and is constantly giving me updates throughout the day. He even taught him some tricks/obedience, which i couldn't be more grateful for! Super friendly, great guy who clearly knows about and cares for a lot for animals. 😊”
“Rosanna was fantastic! She watched Sadie for a week in my home and I couldn't have felt better knowing that she was there taking care of her. Sadie took to her instantly and clearly knew that she would be in good hands! Throughout the week Rosanna was in regular communication giving updates and pictures. When Sadie wasn't eating as much and having some tummy troubles Rosanna was on top of it trying some home remedies first and then taking her to the vet to make sure that Sadie was alright. She treated Sadie like she was her own. Rosanna is absolutely wonderful and I couldn't recommend her enough! Your dog will be in great hands with Rosanna!”

“At the risk of writing such a glowing review that Jennifer becomes so popular that she's no longer available to watch our boys, I have to say having her pet sit was an across the board excellent experience. Our prior sitter bailed on us last minute and Jennifer came through with professionalism on very short notice. She came very prepared and took notes on how we like to have things done. The photos she sent every few days of our trip made us very comfortable with the level of care our boys were receiving and made it clear how much they enjoyed her company. I think it's safe to say they are still missing her! I highly recommend hiring Jennifer, and look forward to doing so again soon!”
“Amazing!!! Absolutely amazing! Thomas took very good care of our Golden Retriever (Broddie) and Shih Tzu (Destiny). This was our first time using Rover for dog sitting, nervous and was very impressed with Thomas willingness to bond with our furry ones and ensure that he had everything needed to take care of both dogs. Provides daily overviews of the activities, and things done throughout the day (photos included). Not only did he take care of our dogs but was willing to take care of our Ferret and Goldfish and still did an amazing job! Very clean and organized with day planning and capable of working with a provided schedule. Will totally recommend Thomas to anyone!”
“Jenn was fabulous. She stayed at my house with my 2 senior dogs… one has medical issues that needed meds and he tends to go out in the middle of the night when he’s not feeling well and Jenn was wonderful with that. I was away for 2 weeks and was able to enjoy my vacation knowing my dogs were in her care. Thank you Jenn ❤️❤️”
““Uncle Marc” is Hazel and Penny’s new favorite friend! Marc stayed with our girls while we spent the week out of the country. I was worried about leaving them for so long but Marc took great care of them and frequently updated me, sent pictures, and put my mind at ease. They’re already planning for his next visit 😉. Thanks Marc, we appreciate you!”
About: I promise that my goal first and foremost is the health and care of your pet. I love all animals and grew up with both cats and dogs! Currently I have a 4 year old cat named Suki. She loves to play and nap together. I am extremely responsible and will give your pet all the care he/she needs and send you photo updates (it’s one of my favorite things to do when I’m pet sitting). I’ll treat your pet as though they were my own. I'm looking forward to working with you! I am currently a student at Rutgers Physician Associate Program. Some days I’m in school from 9am-4pm but we also have virtual days and days off for studying for exams. I’m an early riser so you can rely on me to take care of your pet bright and early and then head back to them in the afternoon for more play time and exercise. My weekends are always free so pet care on the weekends fits perfectly into my routine. I have a guest bedroom available to keep your fur baby comfortable in one section of the house or they can also use the entire house if they feel comfortable in their environment! I do have my pet cat Suki who lives with me but she does very well with dogs and we can keep her separate from other cats to introduce them slowly or just keep them separate the entire time they’re here. I’d be happy to sleep in the guest bedroom with your pet as well.
“Christina watched our Brucey boy while we were away for our honeymoon and she was absolutely amazing. She sent plenty of updates and pictures and was always available when needed. I would 100% recommend using her as a pet sitter and will definitely be using her again myself! :)”

About: Hi, I'm Kelly!! 🐾 I'm a teacher in Somerset and a HUGE animal lover. I know how hard it is to leave your babies behind, so I make sure they feel safe, loved, and totally spoiled while you're away. I grew up around dogs my whole life. I have 2 dogs,who I love and adore and help my daughter take care of her 3 cats. For Dogs: Lots of walks, playtime, cuddles, and routine — from energetic pups to sweet seniors, I adjust to their needs. Daily photo & video updates so you don't miss a thing! For Cats: Quiet, cozy care on THEIR terms. No forcing cuddles — just fresh litter, fresh water, playtime (if they want it), and lots of love in their own comfy space. I'm reliable, patient, & respectful and I treat every pet like family. Let's schedule a meet-and-greet — I'd love to meet your fur baby! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine! I work as a teacher in North Brunswick, so I do drop-ins and walks before school (6-8am), after school (3:30-7pm), and all day on weekends. I live nearby and can do flexible midday visits if needed. I'm super reliable and always send photo updates! I treat your home with total respect — I stick exactly to your pet's routine for feeding, walks, litter box cleaning, and medications. I make sure doors and gates are always secured, water bowls are always full, and your pet gets one-on-one love and attention. I tidy up after myself, bring in mail/packages, and keep you updated with photos so you can relax knowing your baby and home are safe.
“Sarah took very good care of our little girl while we were gone for 10 days. She stayed with her, sent pictures and updates, and even helped with a few things around the house like watering plants. When we returned home the house was as clean if not cleaner than when we left it! She even went above and beyond waiting for a grocery delivery when our flight was delayed. Our fur baby appeared happy and well taken care of while we were gone. She went on walks, played, and had lots of snuggles. We were so grateful she got to stay in her home and we are so glad we chose Sarah as our sitter.”
“My husband and I recently had a 5 day trip planned and were struggling to find care for our 6 year old dog and our young puppy ! I was super anxious about leaving them for the first time but after meeting with Jessica and Guillermo I immediately felt at ease. Jessica was super communicative and sent lots of pictures throughout the day of our pups! I never had to guess what they were doing and both the pups had a blast! Jessica was also very respectful of our home, we came home to everything clean and put together just how it was before we left. Our puppy is a huge chewer and she ended up chewing a little bit of our carpet, Jessica immediately informed and showed me, and it was wonderful to have someone so transparent and honest about anything they happened while we were gone. We will absolutely be using them again for our next trip! (As long as they’ll have us) haha.”
About: I have worked with young puppies and senior dogs. I have provided injections and oral medications. I make sure to learn about each dogs preference because like humans they are all different! I currently work a full time job. I am available in the evening hours from 6pm-10pm. On the weekends I am more flexible with my scheduling. I am available to house sit Saturdays and Sundays, just shoot me a message to schedule in advance! I can do drop in visits almost every day, it’s a little hard to make your schedule with rover - if anything please feel free to send me a message to discuss needs and scheduling :) I would hope to create a comfortable walking environment for your little one to enjoy. I stick to your normal walking routes to ease your pets into good walking sessions. At drop in visits I monitor your pet and take time to play with them as well.
“Julissa took great care of Buddy! She gave him his meds on time, played fetch, and provided updates. Even stayed later to ensure his safety. We’re definitely going to book her the next time we need a dog sitter!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Whitehouse is $38 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 and $68 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 3,484 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Whitehouse. 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 Whitehouse 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 Whitehouse 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 Whitehouse 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 Whitehouse. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
