“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”
“Sara was a lifesaver! She helped house sit our two greyhounds and a guinea pig on short notice, salvaging a family vacation. She was responsive while we were away and when we got home, everything was as we left it and it was clear the dogs (and pig) had been exceptionally well cared for. We'll definitely be requesting her services in the future.”
“Justine did a great job with my crazy crew and provided timely updates with super fast communication. I also appreciated her being available on relatively short notice. Would definitely reach out to her again for future needs!”
“Alina is amazing! She is attentive and provides frequent updates that are detailed. I highly recommend using her. One of my dogs had a vomit issue and she handled it so well! Alina is also very sweet. I will definitely be contacting her again for when I’m traveling.”
“Ryleigh was an incredibly good communicator and was a very responsible and loving with our older lab. We felt completely comfortable with her staying in our home and she left the place as she found it. We will be happy to work with her in the future!”
“Gabrielle housesat for me and my golden retriever Dora for a week. She was wonderful with Dora. She handled Dora's medication and dietary restrictions with no problem. Every picture Gabrielle sent throughout the week showed Dora happy and healthy on her walks and getting her snuggles. Gabrielle was also an excellent house guest, leaving the house clean and tidy. She even watered my plants and vacuumed up copious amounts of dog hair so I didn't have to come home to that! She was very communicative and checked in with me in regularly or if anything was out of the ordinary. I would definitely use Gabrielle again and highly recommend her!”
“Jennifer did a great job watching our dogs and cat (and bunny). Even with rough weather and power outages, the animals were in good hands. Thank you for keeping them healthy, happy and entertained.”
“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!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities since I was young. I grew up with dogs in my home and currently have two dogs of my own, so I know how much our pets mean to us and how important it is to find someone you can trust with them. I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I truly love all fur babies and would be so excited to care for yours! 🐾❤️ I am currently a part time student at Anne Arundel community college. I also have a part time job. My weekends are available. Weekdays I have a lot of free time during the day between classes before I head to work at 2:30-5:30 (usual hours). Safety is my top priority when caring for your pets. I will always make sure they are supervised, secure, and comfortable, whether we are out on a walk, during a drop-in visit, or staying overnight. I follow each pet’s routine and any instructions you provide, including feeding schedules, medications, walks, and anything else that helps them feel at home.
“Leticia was wonderful with our two large dogs! She was punctual, communicative, followed all directions, and took good care of the house too. We’re looking forward to having her watch our dogs more in the future!”
“Jerad did an awesome job with Samson. Followed the instructions perfectly and was a great friend to our little guy. Took him on walks and sent lots of updates. Would definitely recommend!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Whitehurst is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Whitehurst
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.
Kristiana is my all time favorite pet sitter! She stays in my house when I’m out of town and takes the best care of my two little dogs. She is very clean and always leaves my place the way it was when she got here. I’ve used her plenty of times and recommend her to all my friends looking for a pet or house sitter.

FAQs for House Sitting - Whitehurst
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Whitehurst on Rover is $42.8 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 7,801 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.
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.
