Megan did a great job! She took great care of both our pups so we were able to enjoy our trip without worrying about the fur babies. We will be rebooking Megan for our next trip! Thank you!

Katelyn was awesome! She took excellent care of my two dogs and my home. She sent photos and video of my pups multiple times a day, kept me informed, and even dealt with arriving packages, watering my plants, and other various tasks. Upon returning home, I found happy, healthy dogs and my house spotless and clean. I would most definitely book Katelyn again in the future!

About: I know how much you love your pet and how hard it is to leave him/her with someone you trust. I’m the same way. I decided to join Rover when I had to leave my pup, and my family wasn't available to care for her. I found someone who ended up being a lifesaver, and I wanted to help in the same way. I have cared for dogs from puppies to older pups, and love each stage. I can also help with any special needs your furbaby might have. I have watched family, friends, & neighbors' pups for ages and volunteered at the Roger's Humane Society for years. Hi! My name is Rebecca. Two things about me make me a great pet sitter: 1) I love pets & 2) I'm home all day. I want your pet to feel right at home. I am fortunate to work from home and create my own schedule, which allows me to adhere to your routine – whether that's set mealtimes or going for walks at a certain time each day – as well as plenty of time for lots of love and cuddles. I have a large home with a huge fenced-in yard and a Golden who loves to play. She's one of the reasons I joined. She's happiest when she has fur friends over and has never met a pup she doesn't like. Our home has a doggy door that leads into our large fenced-in yard, allowing your pup to go to the bathroom, go out and play, lie outside, and even sunbathe on the deck. It's completely up to them, and they can enjoy being outside whenever they want. I am happy to text and/or email with you as much as you would like, with lots of photos & videos – giving you peace of mind knowing your furbaby is not only safe, but they're having just as wonderful a time as you are.

Steph is an incredible person and I would not hesitate to have her watch our boy Bishop again!! She gave regular updates and piece of mind the whole time we were away! She left our house completely spotless and even left us the most amazing cookies to come home too! I couldn't recommend her enough. I think if Bishop could he would also say she was his new best friend! We hope to see her before we book in for our Christmas trip :)

About: At every party, I go find the fur baby to hang out with. I have experience training puppies (nothing formal), adopting skittish strays, and my last dog lived to be 16! There is no mess, behavior, or age I am unwilling to work with. If your animal needs space, exercise or cuddles, I am your girl. I am available all times, any day of the week. My work is mostly remote with my own laptop and I make my own hours. Each pet is unique and I will work with you to make sure I can care for them as respectfully as possible. I believe in boundaries and consent and that extends to your home and your animals.

About: Being a dog owner myself, I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet. I focus on keeping dogs comfortable, safe, and feeling at home while you’re away. I genuinely love dogs and already take care of one of my own, so I’m used to daily walks, feeding schedules, and giving them attention and consistency. What sets me apart is that I don’t just “watch” dog, I care for them like they’re part of my own household, because I already live that way with my own pet. I run a real estate company, but most of my work is done on my computer so I’m home and available throughout the day. I occasionally step out for short periods, usually about an hour or less, but I’m generally around and able to give pets attention, care, and consistency. I care for my own dog daily, and he’s older so I’m used to giving extra attention and following a care routine. I handle his eye drops and medication, and I’m very attentive to his needs like feeding times and when he wants to go outside. He’s well trained, but more importantly I’m used to being observant and consistent with him. Because of that experience, I’m comfortable adapting to any dog’s routine and following specific instructions to make sure they’re cared for exactly how their owner prefers.

We can't say enough good things about Madelynn S. She did such an incredible job with our 3 furbabies. We don't leave them often because two of them are elderly. She handled them like a pro and kept them safe during the 4th of July and all the noise they hate so much. We would recommend Madelynn to anyone and will be requesting her again to watch our babies. Thanks for being such a great caregiver Madelynn!

About: Hi my name is Abi. I’ve spent the last year caring for dogs of all kinds, and there’s nothing I take more seriously than making sure a pet feels safe and loved while their owner is away. One thing that genuinely sets me apart: I’m experienced handling multiple dogs at once. Whether you have a duo that plays off each other’s energy or a household with very different personalities, I know how to keep the dynamic balanced and every dog feeling attended to. I am a college student currently home trying to make extra money! my time is genuinely flexible. I’m available every morning, afternoon and evening on weekdays, and largely wide open on weekends. Pet care fits naturally into that rhythm, I can stop by for midday check ins on days I have lighter schedules, and commit to longer visits or overnight stays when needed. Dogs thrive on consistency, and I build my availability around making sure they get that When I’m in your home, I treat it with the same care and respect I’d want someone to show mine. I follow your routines as closely as possible. feeding schedules, walk routes, commands your dog responds to, because familiarity keeps pets calm and settled. I always double-check doors, gates, and leashes before any outdoor time, and I keep a close eye on interactions when multiple dogs are involved to make sure everyone stays comfortable. You’ll get updates and photos so you’re never left wondering.

Ana was great to work with and we will be using her again!! She immediately was loved by our (skittish) Aussie and both cats. She communicates well and responds quickly! It’s nice having someone you trust with your babies and home while gone on a trip. Ana let us enjoy our wedding anniversary without any worry!

About: I am a responsible care taker and have enjoyed taking care of many pets, most especially dogs. Big or small. Lazy or hyper... I love animals! My name is Sharon. I am a mom and grandma. I currently work remotely from home as my primary employment. I enjoy reading literature and walking in the park. If you need someone loving and responsible to care for your pet, it could be me! I work remotely from home (on my pc) during certain scheduled hours through out the week for my primary job. Since my work is flexible it leaves plenty of time for quality pet care. I plan to drive to my client's home and take care of their pets as per their wishes. I also have a fenced in yard and a sidewalk where I live so pet sitting at my home is also an option.

About: I’ve been pet sitting for over 7 years and have cared for dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I have many references from happy clients and treat every pet like they’re my own! I currently have a 70-pound American Pit Bull Terrier, a Corgi, and a cat, so I’m very comfortable caring for both large and small dogs as well as feline friends. I’m experienced with puppies, senior pets, and administering medications, and I’m happy to follow any special routines or care instructions. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, cuddles, medications, or extra patience and attention, I’m here to help. One of my favorite experiences was getting to bring a client’s dog to their wedding so they could be part of their special day. I love helping families create memories with their pets and am always happy to go the extra mile whenever I can! I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, so I pride myself on being dependable, communicative, and providing plenty of photo and video updates while you’re away. My goal is to make your pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable until you’re back home. I’m a nanny, which means I make my own schedule and have a lot of flexibility throughout the day. I’m also a college student taking just six credit hours this semester, so I have plenty of time to dedicate to caring for your pets. I understand the importance of not overbooking myself, so I only accept bookings that allow me to give every pet the attention and care they deserve. If I’m not nannying, in class, or spending time with my own pets, you’ll probably find me visiting one of my furry clients! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I’ll care for your pets in the comfort of their own home, following their normal routine as closely as possible to help them feel safe and relaxed while you’re away. I’m comfortable administering medications, cleaning litter boxes, taking dogs on walks, feeding, playing, and providing plenty of love and attention. I’ll also keep you updated with lots of photos and messages, so you’ll always know how your pet is doing. I treat every home with the same respect I would my own and strive to make every visit as stress-free as possible for both you and your pets.

FAQs for House Sitting - Whitener

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of July 2026, there are 531 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Whitener. 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 Whitener 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 Whitener 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 Whitener 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 Whitener. On Rover:

  • 100% 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.
