“Adrian was so amazing with our two pups! Our sweet babies can get very anxious but he kept them so calm and happy while we were away. He sends THE BEST pictures of your babies to update you. We will definitely be booking with him again.”
“Our review is based on our meet and greet with Michelle. Because of an unforeseen personal situation, we were not able to move forward with this booking. We believe Michelle would be a fabulous sitter and hope she will be given that opportunity.”
“Caleb did a great job with our 3 dogs we had one that needed meds twice a day and he did great. I would recommend him to sit your fur babies he stayed at our home and left it clean.”
“Kylie was communicative and went above and beyond while watching my girl Charlie! I was able to enjoy my weekend away knowing Charlie was well taken care of. She even administered a twice daily medication and took the time to clean my dog’s food bowl! Thank you so much Kylie!”
“Louann was wonderful!!! This was her first time sitting for us and she made the whole experience easy & stress-free, which is huge for me... Our dog can be a little shy at first but after a couple days they were fast friends… She stayed in constant contact, sent lots of pictures, and always kept us updated, so there was never a need to worry about how things were going at home… We’re so glad we found Louann and look forward to having her hang out with Mango plenty in the future!!! 🩷🥭”
“Anna is a great pet sitter. She's very responsive and attentive, does timely walks and meals, and is great at following instructions for specific pet care. I will definitely hire her again!”
“Just got home from our weekend away to a very happy dog and nice clean home. Sheridan did a great job giving updates throughout our trip making it very easy for us to relax knowing our dear pet was well cared for. I would highly recommend her for any pet sitting needs.”
About: Hi, I’m Candice (Xiaochen) I grew up with dogs and have cared for dogs and cats my whole life. I started Rover four years ago, and after a life transition, I’m now opening my own account. On my previous Rover account, I earned 100+ five-star reviews and built many long-term repeat clients. I’m excited to bring the same level of care to my new clients. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments—puppies, seniors, large breeds, and rescue dogs. I’ve volunteered with SPCA/rescue organizations, fostered homeless animals, and helped them find loving homes. I’ve also raised and socialized guide dog puppies, so I’m experienced with puppy training, basic obedience, leash manners, and positive reinforcement. I can administer medications and injections as directed by your veterinarian and permitted by Rover. Your dog will be treated like my own. I provide daily photo and video updates, follow your feeding, walking, and medication routine, and make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and cuddles. I respond quickly and keep you updated throughout the stay. I have a large home and a fully fenced backyard with a dog door, so dogs can safely enjoy indoor-outdoor freedom. I supervise outdoor time and can create separate quiet areas when needed. My home is non-smoking and has no children.
About: Hi! My name is Libby, and caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I attended a technical school for Animal Science, where I gained valuable knowledge about animal care and handling. Growing up, I’ve had a wide variety of pets, including dogs, cats, guinea pigs, hamsters, rats, fish, hermit crabs, bearded dragons, geckos, and degus. Having experience with so many different animals has taught me that every pet has their own unique personality, needs, and routines. I understand how important it is to make pets feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m patient, responsible, and passionate about providing the best care possible for every animal. Whether your pet loves going on walks, playing, getting lots of attention, or simply relaxing with a little extra company, I’m happy to meet them where they are and make sure they feel at home. I know pets are family, and I would treat your furry (or scaly!) friend with the same love, kindness, and care I would give my own. I can’t wait to meet you and your pets! I work from home Monday through Friday, which allows me to offer your pets plenty of attention, care, and companionship throughout the day. I can easily fit in regular check-ins, feeding, playtime, walks, and potty breaks while maintaining a flexible schedule to meet your pet’s needs. I understand how important it is to feel confident that your furry family members are in loving, reliable hands, and I’ll treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, happy, comfortable, and loved while you’re away! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities! Since I work from home Monday through Friday, I can provide plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. When caring for pets in their own home, I do my best to maintain their normal routines, follow feeding and care instructions closely, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable in their familiar environment. I respect your home, keep things clean and secure, and provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind. I want every pet parent to feel confident knowing their furry family member is in caring, trustworthy hands!
About: Growing up in me old neighborhood all my neighbors would come to me to take care of their pets when they went out on vacations because they saw how much I really loved to be around animals and how much I knew about how to care for them. I’ve come home from college and now I’m working part time usually in the morning meaning I have time throughout the day to watch over and care for new pets! I have a fenced yard outside a pretty spacious interior and younger siblings who love animals as much as I do that will keep your fur baby entertained!
About: Hi! I’m your friendly neighborhood dog walker—basically a golden retriever in human form. I love big dogs, small dogs, floofy dogs, scruffy dogs. Zoomies? Yes. Couch potatoes? Also yes. Sassy? Bring it. Shy? I speak fluent gentle baby talk. I enjoy long walks on the beach…and short ones to the fire hydrant. I’ve proudly owned 2 boxers and 2 poodle mixes, so trust me—I’ve seen it all. Muddy paws? No problem. Flying fur? Part of the outfit. Drool? Nature’s moisturizer. I literally cannot pass a dog without asking, “Can I pet your dog?” It’s a compulsion. Like breathing, but fuzzier. Bottom line: your pup’s in loving, experienced, slightly obsessed hands. Can’t wait to meet all the four-legged goofballs! I’m currently working part time as a bartender and part time from home so my schedule is very flexible. I am home most mornings and evenings. I have an apartment complex with a dog park in it. There are also lots of trails around me. I love going on walks, playing fetch and cuddling with all the fur babies.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 593 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Whitesboro. 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 Whitesboro 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 Whitesboro 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 Whitesboro 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 , 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 .
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 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
