“Owen was fantastic. Not only was he responsive but the dogs were well taken care of. They were walked, fed, played with, and given a lot of love. While he was watching the pups he also kept the house clean. I got daily pictures ands updates which helped to put my mind at ease about my pups while I was on vacation. I will use Owen again”
“Gianna and her dog, Whiskey, are wonderful. My dog, Gary loved having them house sit. The dogs had a wonderful time playing and Gianna took excellent care of Gary. We will be repeat clients!”
“Hannah recently watched our golden retriever and Siamese cat rescue while we were away for a wedding, and from start to finish we couldn't be more impressed. From the very first meeting, her professionalism and compassion was what really stood out - she immediately was able to put our pets (and us!) at ease. When we came back, our babies were in excellent spirits and we found our home looking better than we left it, which was very much appreciated. Hannah is a rare find - reliable, professional, and genuinely kind-hearted. We will definitely be booking her again and cannot recommend her enough to any pet parents looking for peace of mind.”
“Emma was amazing as usual - even dealt with a small complication of our garage breaking while we were away! Our dogs are very happy to see her and she is a great house guest.”
“We couldn’t be more grateful for the care Justine provided. From the beginning, communication was clear, prompt, and professional and we received regular updates and photos, which made being away so much easier. When we returned home, our dog was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. That says everything. We would absolutely book again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy, responsible, and compassionate dog sitter.”
“Jennifer was our first Rover experience and it was absolutely great! The communication was great, she sent pics, and the house was in the same order when we got back the next day! I would highly recommend and will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Lindsey was amazing with my dogs who can be a lot at times. They immediately loved her and it’s wonderful to be able to travel and know your dogs are taken care of. I can’t enjoy my trips if I’m worried about the dogs and Lindsey provided constant updates so I knew they were in excellent hands.”
“Cheri was a wonderful sitter! She filled in last minute when we had another sitter cancel on us, which was very helpful. She was communicative and our girls seemed happy and healthy when we got home. She left our house in great shape. We will definitely contact her again!”
“Benjamin is tentative, kind, and caring with Maizie. I’ve used rover in the past and it’s safe to say he goes beyond the standard of taking care of your pup.”
About: Hello! My name is Raven and I would love any opportunity to take care of your pets! I’ve had animals growing up and most recently had a 130 lb Newfoundland and my current kitty, Juno. I consider myself a kind and compassionate caretaker, and generally an animal lover. Working a job with animals is the best case scenario for me! I am open to learning any manner in which you prefer your pet’s caregiving and am able to adjust to specific medical, dietary, and grooming needs. I have no fears of dog breeds or sizes, and I have cared for friends and neighbors animals many times (including multiple dogs, cats, and rabbits). I have had two puppies in my lifetime as well, so the teething and constant potty breaks are no sweat! I hope to meet you and your wonderful pets soon! I will be free to take care of your lovely pets most days of the week unless otherwise specified. I will be starting a full time job around mid November. I am able to adjust to various levels of care regarding your pets. If there is a preference in walk length/location, food/water/medication administration, grooming needs, if you would like them kept in or out of certain areas, consistency in certain training, or truly any other specifications (even just extra amounts of love!), I've got you covered!
About: I took care of my family dogs and cats, my own dogs and cats, rabbits, and I've helped friends with their dog, mostly to feed and walk them too. I used to train our own puppies back in the day, but it's been awhile. I just retired from being an elementary school counselor, so I'm more available to walk and care for animals. My schedule is fairly open if I'm not on a travel trip, so I can walk dogs during the day most anytime and care for some animals when needed. We don't have furry pets, because my husband has an allergy. However, I want to be with dogs without him as much as possible. I do walk my neighbor's dog when she's not available.
“Danielle is an above and beyond sitter. She was very communicative and cared for my girl like she was her own. She will without a doubt be the first person I call from now on. I can’t endorse her enough!”
“Code and Dana were amazing! They sent pics daily of their walks and kept me updated on my picky eater. Code came early the day we left to feed and walk the dogs with me to understand what challenges they may see. We have 3 dogs so it’s not always easy to find sitters who can handle them but they made it seem easy. I really can’t recommend them enough. The house was cleaner than how I left it too!! Don’t question it-just book them!!”
About: Hello My name is Janay and I am an animal lover. Growing up I had several dogs living with me so I am super comfortable around pets. I have a special place in my heart for dogs. Every time my sister goes out of town I dog sit my nephew pup named Prince. He is a small Yorkie. I used to have a small dog whom i loved named Mobley. I am a mother of a handsome eight year old boy. I am caring and a born nurturer. I treat everyone human or dog as if they are my family. I am warm and compassionate. Caring for others is what is my passion and what I've been put on this earth to do. I am extremely trustworthy and honest. I am an open book. I am very kind and lovable. I went back to college to study computer science online at UMGC. I work from home full time and I have permission to take breaks every 2 hours for walks when I am pet sitting. I work Monday through Friday 8:30-4:30pm. When I’m not working I can devout all my attention to caring for your pet. I only do what is asked of me. If walking a dog I will always have them on a leash & if another animal or person is walking our way I will cross the street or stop and let them pass. I also will only do what the pet allows me too. If they are not wanting to play, I will not force them.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Whitehurst
Kayla did an amazing job dog sitting in my house for my 11 year old dog Zoey. Kayla was very friendly and Zoey loved her. Kayla cared so well for Zoey and when I got home I saw that Kayla had washed her own bed sheets!.I definitely recommend Kayla for any pet sitting job and would most definitely hire her again!
Code and Dana were amazing! They sent pics daily of their walks and kept me updated on my picky eater. Code came early the day we left to feed and walk the dogs with me to understand what challenges they may see. We have 3 dogs so it’s not always easy to find sitters who can handle them but they made it seem easy. I really can’t recommend them enough. The house was cleaner than how I left it too!! Don’t question it-just book them!!
Hiring Michael was our first ever experience with Rover. I was nervous about the whole thing. But I absolutely did not need to be. He was fantastic, and cared wonderfully for our two dogs and two cats while we were out of town. He really went above and beyond to send us updates and communicated well whenever our silly dogs did something naughty. Would definitely hire him again to stay with our pets.
Adelyn was amazing! We left our puppy girl at home for a week by herself. Even though I know she loved having the house to herself, she also had so much fun when Adelyn came to visit. Adelyn sent videos, pictures and notes everyday. We would 100% use Adelyn again.
Owen was amazing! He took great care of our two dogs Tasha and Sadie! He was very professional and communicative while we were away allowing us to truly enjoy our vacation knowing our dogs were well taken care of. We will definitely be booking with Owen again!
Tessa was great! She was our first dogsitter for our four year old bernedoodle and we were nervous leaving her for a spring break vacation, but she and Tessa really bonded and had a fun time together. Tessa stayed in our house for 5 nights, was very responsive to texts, and took great care of our dog Bebe, taking her for walks, playing with her, feeding her, and cuddling with her. She also sent some adorable pictures so we knew Bebe was in good hands. We hope to have her dogsit for us again soon! Would definitely recommend her to others looking for a responsible and caring dogsitter.
Sara met the dogs and two separate occasions before the actual reserved time. The dogs instantly fell in love with her. Sara let the dogs sleep with her, as I do. It warmed my heart to know that someone else was willing to care for & love them as I do. She's a great sitter for your animals.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Whitehurst on Rover is $34.41 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 7,777 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Whitehurst. 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 Whitehurst 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 Whitehurst 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 Whitehurst 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.

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.
