“Valeria was amazing! This was my first time using rover and having someone come stay with my bunnies and kitties, she did not have experience with bunnies but was still willing to take care of them for me while I was away. I was nervous leaving my babies with a stranger but she made me feel much better about it, she sent pictures and videos throughout her time with them and always responded to texts. I could not have found a better person to stay with my babies, she was very kind and made my babies feel safe and comfortable with her too!”
“Bianca was super responsive and sweet! She took great care of my 2 kitties and my elder baby :) Even handled an unexpected potty accident! OMG! Thank you!! The house was in perfect condition when we came back as well. Great experience”
“Magdalena was a blessing at the last minute for house sitting with our 2 year old GSD. He absolutely loved her and was sure to keep us posted during the weekend of what he was doing. Thank you so much for taking care of our boy!!!”
“Terri was an absolute sweetheart with my dog Kip, I don’t think it’s possible to have found a better sitter than her considering how difficult the job was. Seriously all the other sitters that I talked to on this app were not capable of caring for her or outright did not want to but Terri was all about it and got the job done with no issues at all, I would highly recommend for any of your animal needs”
“Samuel communicated with me quickly after my booking request. He was attentive to the needs of my pets which allowed me to feel reassured while I was away. My dog loved his walks. I would recommend Samuel for your pet needs.”
About: I have had a love and passion for all animals all my life, some may even call me and animal empath. I have experience personally with my own animals since a young age and have been entrusted with friends as well as neighbors to care for their babies. I currently have 2 French Bulldogs, 1 Cane Corso, and a Pocket Bully. I am familiar and comfortable with all breeds. If you want someone to care for your baby not just what they physically need but emotionally need while your away I am the girl for you to care for these little souls 😊. You can trust me to make sure they get the love and attention they deserve ❤️ I currently work fulltime remote but have flexibility in my day to come and go as needed. The only days I am not available during the day are Tuesdays but am available in the evenings. I have a designated bedroom in my home for boarders and a fenced in yard if boarding. Nothing better than a fur baby feeling at home in a home with unlimited outside time and love. If I am watching your fur baby in your home I can guarantee all instructions will be followed and security strongly enforced to make sure your baby and home are respected (of course with some extra cuddles as well) 😊
About: Hi! I have been a dog sitter for other families on and off for years. I am a dog owner myself. I am a mom of 2 and love to give any animal the love and care they need. I am going to be home with my kids so I am to walk, do check ins, or pet sit on the weekends. I can come by every 2 hours if needed. I can offer a stop in every 2 hours. I plan to walk them 1-2 miles unless stated they can’t only make it around the block. They will get all the cuddles and love they want or require. On the weekends, I can stay over night with a pet if needed as well. This will includes walks and company.
“Laura was great! She took great care of my dog and 4 cats. Laura was responsive and polite and seems to really love animals. She did everything I asked and sent pictures and updates multiple times per day. Highly recommend.”
“Stephanie is outstanding!!!! She took care of all our animals, she was super sweet with them and they all clearly *loved* her! She went above and beyond in caring for them and helped me stay consistent with any of their special needs and catered to their quirks. She sent me tons of cute pictures and videos of them all at least twice a day 🥰 and was consistently communicative, which helped me just enjoy my trip and be able to rest assured about whether the animals were happy, safe, and comfy - something I'm always worried about that I actually didn't feel worried about this time. The house was just as we'd left it, and I think everyone actually misses her. 💕 But, she's amazing - I definitely recommend booking with her (unless it's when I'm out of town lol!).”
“Very happy we found Sarah. She stayed with our two pups and kept us informed all throughout our getaway. She was responsive and followed our instructions—asking clarifying questions to be sure she was doing as we requested. I don’t want to tell everyone how wonderful she was because I want to keep her to ourselves!”
About: Schedules change quickly and everyone is busy, which is why I love being someone pet parents can rely on when they need flexibility. I’m available after 4:30 PM Monday–Thursday for walks, extended visits, and last-minute or emergency drop-ins, and I have full availability Friday–Sunday for sitting, walking, and visits. I’ve dedicated my time outside of work to caring for animals and helping pet owners feel at ease, so I’m always happy to help whenever you need it! It’s truly a pleasure to make sure your dog feels safe, loved, and well cared for🫶🏼.

About: If you are seeking the best home away from home experience for your pet than look no further. Here at our modern 4,500 square foot home on ½ acre your baby will become a member of our family. He or she has full access to anywhere in the house or backyard so long as they are in close proximity to family. At no point will your pet ever be alone without a human nearby. Your baby will receive one-on-one attention and to ensure this we will typically not take more than 3 dog families. All our four-legged guests are expected to curl next to us on the sofa or lay nearby on the cool tile while we watch television. They will sleep in cozy pet beds in our bedroom or if they prefer snuggle next to us in our beds. They will receive custom baked dog cookies, gourmet treats, or non-rawhide bones. Most importantly they will receive lots of stimulation, attention, and love. The lucky pets who get to stay with us have access to six members of the family. My husband, Joe, and I are retired and we have the time to dedicate to our guests. Joe generally spends more time with the larger dogs. He is ex-military and the dogs that prefer structure, discipline, and exercise gravitate to him. My kids call me “the pied-piper of dogs” and usually the smaller to middle sized dogs follow me around since I am the one who feeds them and provides long belly rubs and behind the ear scratches. My college-aged daughter lavishes her time on the puppies and typically whisks them away into her bedroom. My 16-year-old son spends many afternoons outside playing fetch with the dogs or wrestling with them in the family room. He takes our higher energy dogs for a 45-minute vigorous walk or run around the neighborhood if requested. My Aunt lives with us and she pitches in to make special meals for our finicky eaters or bake healthy treats. She is integral in keeping the house sanitized and tidy. Lastly is Bosley, our rambunctious Havanese pup, who is the boss. He helps let us know which pets we can accept as our guests. He can be playful but he spends more time napping or munching on his Nylabone. We have set up our pet sitting business to rival and compete with the well-known pet resorts in the area. Dogs can enter and exit the home/yard multiple times a day for no extra charge. The yard is fully-fenced with a shady pergola and a screened in lanai with a doggy door. On warm days we will fill up a small pool for our four-legged guests who enjoy the water. If your pet has over indulged and gotten very dirty we will provide a bath if he/she is cooperative. We take extra precautions to protect our dogs from trying to escape our home or backyard or chewing on things that they shouldn’t. If your dog has health issues or prefers not to be with any of our guests, I can accommodate him/her. There is a second family room upstairs and your dog can lounge while I watch television or complete some daily tasks on the computer. I do this often for our smaller or more sensitive pups. We never charge for extra play or cuddle time. I send multiple photos and videos of your babies everyday and in fact have scheduled FaceTime/WhatsApp calls for owners and their pets. We never crate any guest unless you specifically request it. They are not locked away in a concrete “suite” at night and extra charges will not apply if your pet needs to sleep alone in another room with one of us. If your pet needs that extra dose of personal attention and enjoys human interaction and a family setting we offer a unique experience that few can match. My husband and I are retired and can dedicate attention to our four-legged friends. In addition, my daughter, son, and Aunt all pitch in to help care and lavish attention on every one of our guests. We generally only care for pets in our home. There is always a member of the household watching the pets at all times and more often than not it is my husband or myself.
“Jeri did a wonderful job with our two puppers. We were at ease knowing she was taking great care of them. We especially appreciated all of the updates, pictures and videos. We highly recommend Jeri and look forward to working with her again!”
About: I love dogs! I work from home, so your fur baby will get attention all day. I am a homeowner with tons of toys, and plenty of time to play with and love on your pup. While your dog is vacationing with me, I do my best to follow his or her normal routine and schedule closely. I love playtime and make sure all of our furry friends get plenty of exercise, attention, and affection. I work from home and have a flexible schedule. If your pet has unique needs, I’m always happy to discuss accommodations ahead of time. My home is a dog-friendly family environment with a fully screened-in lanai and tile/hardwood flooring throughout the home. I’m located in the Bartram Park area. For boarding stays, please send only the items your dog truly needs during their visit. While I do my best to keep track of belongings, I care for multiple dogs at times, so I recommend keeping sentimental or irreplaceable items safely at home. I work from home and will follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible. Please let me know if anything needs to be done at a specific time or if your pet has any unique needs. Safety is my number one priority. I have gates throughout the home and work hard to ensure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for during their stay. If you have any specific concerns, please let me know ahead of time.
“Yessica and Ray were great with our 3 dogs! Very responsive, gave one of our dogs the meds he needed, gave all 3 the much needed play time too!”

Martha watched our 2 large dogs in our home for one night while we went out of town for a wedding. She kept in touch and sent lots of photos of our boys running around and hanging out with her. We can tell they had fun and enjoyed her company. We highly recommend Martha to others and would love to use her services again in the future!
Cole did an outstanding job watching our pups. He is a fantastic communicator and made sure that we knew how are dogs were every second of the day. He went above and beyond to make them comfortable and even went the extra mile by cleaning up the house while we were gone! I would recommend Cole to anyone and can’t wait to have him watch the dogs again soon.

FAQs for House Sitting - Whites Ford
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Whites Ford on Rover is $55.5 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 1,471 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Whites Ford. 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 Whites Ford 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 Whites Ford 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 Whites Ford 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 Whites Ford. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
