“Adelyn took care of our two cats for a week while we were away. She dropped in for a meet & greet, got comfortable with the cats and was very knowledgeable and knew how to approach them slowly. She provided updates with plenty photos showing the cats were happy and engaged with their new friend. She went the distance to make sure our babies were happy and well taken care of ❤️ Thank you, Adelyn!”
“10/10, I would absolutely book with her again! She made the entire experience seamless from start to finish. Communication was excellent, everything went smoothly, and I felt completely at ease knowing my pets were in great hands. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would definitely recommend her to others.”
“Jean provided drop-in care for our cat for a week. She won her trust quickly and had her playing and rolling over during the visit. Jean communicated with us throughout the trip and kept us up to date. Definitely recommend.”
“Alex and Andrea were wonderful, and my puppies were completely comfortable with them. That’s always the most important thing for me: knowing Bruce and Daisy feel safe and at ease when I’m not home. I also really appreciate that during the storm, they took the time to check around the house to make sure everything was okay. Thank you for taking such great care of our Bruce and Daisy!”
“Megan was amazing. My dogs caused her complete chaos. One had diarrhea the entire stay and she had to constantly clean up the mess. I can't even begin to describe how incredible she was. She kept me informed me of the entire situation, boiled chicken for my dog, cleaned up the constant messes, stayed longer then she was scheduled to, washed the food bowls, cleaned the crate numerous times, and even cleaned my entire place and scrubbed the floors. If that isn't the sign of an amazing pet sitter, I don't know what is. She made sure my 3 dogs were completely taken care of while I was away. I can't imagine what I would have done if someone else was watching them. My dogs are my children and I was very hesitant to have someone watch them. I HIGHLY recommend using Megan if you want your dogs to be in the best hands.”
“Rebecca is a great pet sitter, attentive to our senior kitty’s special needs. Great communicator. We are looking forward to working with her many times in the future!”
“Aimee did a wonderful job of kitty sitting my fur babies! She came a few days before to get familiar with the house and cat routine, quickly understood the auto feeder that I had, and performed the all litter unpleasantries. She was able to coax out my big baby for dinners, and allowed my friendly feline access to her tennis shoes!! I will definitely hire her for my next trip!”
About: Ever since I can remember I’ve always had animals in the house. When I was little I started with fish, reptiles, and small animals but as I’ve gotten older I’ve also taken on cats, dogs, birds, etc. Seeing as I’ve looked after many beloved pets throughout my life I’ve also taken on the challenge of learning to administer supplements and medication to the ones that need it. I’ve bottle fed and taken care of newborn puppies and kittens since I was small, and although I’m not a credentialed trainer, pride myself in knowing that I’ve been very good at training the animals I’ve had throughout my life. I’ve owned many breeds of cats and dogs ranging from extra big to extra small and including all stages of life. I’d love to be the one you choose to take care of your furry friends needs. Because of my job, I don’t get off at a certain time on weekdays so I have my availability set to every 8+ hours. I don’t always get off late but it depends on the day so sometimes I’m available more often, and others I’m not. Just to play it safe I’ve limited my hours on these days. As for weekends I’m normally available all day so as long as I don’t already have plans to attend to I can be free whenever. I always make sure to consider the clients comments/ requests when caring for their pets so every situation is different but either way I always take care of each animal to the best of my ability.
“Elias was on time for each visit and took great care of our senior golden retriever. Unfortunately, our golden had a few accidents and threw up on his doggy bed but Elias cleaned every mess without complaint and kept us informed. Overall, we are very pleased with how our fur baby was cared for. Would book again!!”
About: I’ve had dogs since I was young, I love dogs. I enjoy meeting their different personality traits and getting to know them. Dogs make my heart melt & my own dog genuinely gets me up every morning. I will take care of your dogs as though they are my own because i know the fear that comes associated since I’ve kept my dog with others myself. I have a pitbull as well as 2 cats so I love any size, any attitude, any pet. They’re all perfect lovable creatures, no matter the personality type & I really enjoy taking dogs for walks and playing with them or even just laying with them and cuddling. It’s seratonin for us both! My pets are my best friends and I would like to make your pets the same way. The excitement of seeing my pet friends every day is such a blessing I’m grateful to experience. I have tons of love & affection to give (or none at all, if they prefer) & I’m excited to share it with your pets I’m currently in school for social work so I have a lot of extra time on my hands, I love filling it with our furry friends. I understand all methods of caretaking when it comes to our pets. If your dog is a jumper, I’ll always watch and make sure they don’t jump over any fences. I am somewhat of a hover parent myself & I keep such an eye on my pets, they’ve never had an accident resulting in a vet visit. I also understand sensitive stomachs & our babies that are dying to eat everything, itching for a vet appt but not on my watch. I multitask well so your pet will never go unnoticed.
About: I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and ages, from small dogs to large breeds and playful puppies. I’m currently training our own puppy, so I have hands-on experience with patience, consistency, basic training, and keeping a young dog engaged. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I’ll take the time to make sure your pet feels comfortable, loved, and well cared for. I work three days a week, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability on my days off, especially weekends. I enjoy spending time with pets and can dedicate time to walks, playtime, training, and companionship. My flexible schedule allows me to give each pet the attention they need rather than simply fitting them into a busy routine. I want every pet in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and at home. We have a backyard (not fenced) and are close to great walking paths, a golf course, and a dog park, so there are plenty of opportunities for walks, play, and exercise. I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible and adjust activities based on their age, energy level, and personality. Most importantly, they’ll get plenty of attention, affection, and supervision while you’re away.
“Courtney did a great job taking care of my dog, Roxi. She was dependable, easy to communicate with, and I could tell Roxy was well cared for while I was away. It gave me peace of mind knowing she was in good hands. I would definitely use Courtney again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable dog sitter.”
“So pleased that Jaclyn was able to come and spend time with our dogs while we were away for the day! She sent us photos of the fun they had together and a nice write up of their time, and she even brought in some packages for us. Thank you so much, Jaclyn!!”
About: I’ve spent years caring for pets for friends, family, and neighbors. Animals naturally feel calm around me, and I treat every pet like my own with plenty of play, walks, and affection. I currently work part-time during weekdays and am available for drop-ins and walks around 1 PM in D.C., as well as evenings and nights during weekdays and weekends. Let’s communicate and I’ll do everything in my power to make it work for you and your pet! I treat every pet like family. I follow their usual routine for feeding, walks, and playtime to keep them comfortable and relaxed. Whether in my home or yours, I make sure pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for, and I’m happy to send updates and photos while you’re away.
About: I have lifelong experience with animals. I grew up on a farm caring for cows and chickens, and I have pets of my own, so responsibility and consistency are second nature to me. I’m patient and attentive with pets of all ages, from playful puppies to seniors who may need extra care. I’m also comfortable administering medications and carefully following detailed care instructions. I pay close attention to routines and behavior, and I treat every pet like family while keeping owners updated for peace of mind. I currently work full-time, but I have flexibility in my schedule on Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays. I am available Tuesdays and Wednesday starting at 3:30pm. I am also very flexible and available most Saturdays and Sundays. I do my best to accommodate pet parents’ needs and am happy to discuss scheduling options to find a time that works for everyone. I treat every pet like my own, follow routines carefully, respect your home, and prioritize safety so you can feel confident while you're away.
“Alaina, thank you for watching our happy boy! You were exceptional making sure you covered his medical needs and his anxious tendencies. Thanks for going above and beyond with keeping us up to date and Kipp taken care of. Will definitely have you again!”

I couldn't ask for a more ideal kitty- sitter than Aidan. He was very reliable & spent extra time when needed. He was a great communicator & very helpful when i was concerned my kitty might be unwell. She is a real scaredy cat, but he was able to find & befriend her easily - that can be quite a challenge! I would hope that Aidan will watch her again!
I cannot recommend Megan enough! She truly went above and beyond while caring for my dog. We had a few unexpected things come up during our time away, and she handled everything with such patience, professionalism, and care. She was incredibly communicative throughout the entire stay, always keeping us updated and making sure we knew what was going on!
From our first visit with Adelyn we could tell she had a lot of experience and confidence with dogs. She had a few drop ins with our dog and was very communicative and provided a detailed report after along with a bunch of cute pics. Lloyd looked so happy to hang with her! Will book again!
Carla was awazing with our two girls. She took such good care of them. I was able to enjoy time away knowing that they were in good hands. We played with them, gave them so much attention and even cleaned up the yard. I will definitely use Carla again and highly recommend her.
Ryder seemed to take to Kayla fast, usually he runs and hides. I was surprised when Kayla sent me a picture of her petting him and brushing him. I was so happy to see that! Kayla didn't make it to the last visit because of a family emergency, but I actually got home earlier than I expected. So he didn't have to wait to long to get his breakfast. I would definitely use Kayla again and would recommend her to others.
I really cannot say enough wonderful things about Veronica! This was our 3rd booking with Veronica while we were out of town, and as usual, she was amazing. Our once shy and skittish kitty has become comfortable with Veronica and her check ins - that in and of itself was a huge success! I’m always so grateful for Veronica and her ability to put my mind at ease. I trust her wholeheartedly to care for our girls in our absence. Thank you for the fabulous care and concern you always provide!!
Kayla was an incredible sitter for my bunny! I have never felt more at peace when away from home. She always sent photos of Oliver as well as his food & water so that we knew he was all taken care of. I could tell that Oliver felt super comfortable with her which was amazing! We will definitely book with Kayla full time for any future dates.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Whitehurst is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $31 per visit. 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 11,759 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Whitehurst. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Whitehurst. On Rover:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
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.
