“Taylor did an amazing job with our dog Ellie Mae. Ellie is very afraid of fireworks and thunder. While we were away we had several thunderstorms and Taylor made sure to take extra special care of Ellie. She kept us updated daily with photos of a happy dog. I would highly recommend Taylor to anyone that is using Rover to find an excellent in home dog sitter. We will definitely be using her in our future needs.”
“Mya is the most beautiful and kind dog sitter I could have hoped for. She’s very professional and extremely polite and was so loving with my little Oakley I am so happy I found her. She is a gem and will be my permanent sitter when needed. My weenie dog loves her!!!!!”
About: I am extremely knowledgeable of medications, handling and husbandry. I work with animals of all ages, from puppies to senior dogs and cats. I am very gentle and patient with all animals. I am currently working at full time at a veterinary clinic. I am looking to apply my knowledge and skill to help as many fur-babies and their families as possible. My typical schedule involves starting my day at 7a and getting off work at 3:30p. I take care to be mindful of every fur-babies home and environment. Wherever a pet is most comfortable I am happy to accommodate. I currently do not have any pets if my own so I have more time to play/enrich other pets.
“This was our first time using a pet sitting service and it was absolutely amazing! Aniyah is so sweet and kind and she treated our Kingston like her own from the very first time of meeting him. Aniyah sent us pictures and updates throughout the whole stay which made us feel so relieved and comfortable knowing our boy was being well looked after. If you're looking for a dog sitter we highly recommend Aniyah, she was the best!!”
About: I’ve worked with all kinds of animals from playful puppies and shy rescues to senior pets who need extra care and patience. I started out volunteering at animal shelters, then gained hands-on experience as a vet assistant and kennel tech, where I helped with feeding, meds, and basic care for dogs and cats of all sizes and temperaments. I’ve also helped on my uncle’s farm, caring for everything from livestock to barn cats. Over the years, I’ve pet sat for many families and treat every animal like they’re my own safe, happy, and loved. I'm in college and in a sorority, and I also work a part-time job, but my schedule is pretty flexible so pet care still fits in easily! I'm usually free mornings and evenings during the week. Weekends are trickier since I'm normally busy, but I do open up my schedule for a few now and then. If you're flexible on timing, I'll be there! I genuinely love this, so I'm happy to work around whatever routine your pet's used to. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or at a client’s, their safety and comfort always come first. I make sure their space is clean, secure, and calm. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding routines, medications, and preferred walking routes. I take time to build trust with each pet so they feel relaxed and cared for. I also send regular updates and photos to keep you in the loop and give you peace of mind while you’re away.
About: I’ve taken care of two large dogs and one mini poodle. I have experience in bathing, feeding and and providing medical care. I live next to Astoria park and can provide the necessary stimuli to make sure your pup is entertained and happy😁 I have a 2 year old poodle that needs daily allergy medication. I provide special care for her and monitor her very closely. I also administer shots for allergy related issues. I treat my pets as I would my own child. I understand that pets are part of the family and I promise to treat them as such. I have a pup of my own and my wife and I love her dearly. I promise i will treat your pet as if he/she were my own because I know how important they are to you and you’re family.
About: When I was a child, I dreamed of becoming a vet. Nature, animals, and being active have always been a part of my life. I became a Fitness Professional who believes health & well-being are fundamental for humans AND for animals. I'm grateful for all LIFE and that shows in the way I embrace energy , the way I love to run & play myself, and that's what I provide to those that are under my care!! Security is a priority, water, food, a warm & comfortable shelter, a place to expand energy & many ways to stimulate interests are all I have to offer to your dog. I'm also patient - which I think is important because we all need time to learn & be understood.
About: I’ve owned dogs since I was 8 years old, ranging from Pitbulls to Doodles. I have experience with training puppies and older dogs, as well as caring for doggies when they’re sick. As a therapist with a flexible schedule, I can fit plenty of time to caring for your pets! I am available at most times during the week, and accommodate changes when needed! When staying at your house, I treat your home with care, keep the space clean, and respect all household rules! Pets will never be left unattended and I will be under consistent supervision, along with potty breaks, walks, and fun play time! For walks, I avoid high traffic areas and avoid pavement during hot weather. I have access to emergency vet contact information and reliable transportation.
“We are so thankful for Amanda! She took such great care of our elderly dog over the weekend and went above and beyond to make sure she was comfortable and well cared for. Her communication was excellent, she showed up early, and he even went the extra mile by cleaning the sheets afterwards. Truly wonderful experience. We felt completely at ease knowing our pup was in such caring hands. Highly recommend!”
“Crissy is a knowledgeable and professional dog sitter. She was able to easily navigate our different dynamics, having a newly adopted dog who is still getting used to her new home & also an energetic fun-loving hound who can be a lot to handle. Crissy came and handled them with ease. Even took them on walks and sent plenty of pictures and updates. We are so glad we found her!”
About: I love animals. Dogs are my favorite. With me your pets are in great hands. I will treat them like they are my own.

I have experience taking care of my own animals and have owned a range of different breeds and sizes from pitbulls to shih tzu. I am willing to bathe, feed, walk, and groom your pet if needed. I am good with people and even better with dogs. Anything else you want to know just ask. I have open availability weekdays and weekends, days and nights.

Otherwise when I am home, whether mine or yours, your pets needs and safety will be my concern 100%!

About: As a lifelong animal lover, caring for pets isn’t just a job for me—it’s a true passion rooted in deep empathy and understanding. I know how important your furry family members are to you, and I treat every pet in my care with the same patience, tenderness, and attentiveness I give my own. From tuning into their subtle moods and ensuring they feel safe and comfortable, to giving them endless love and playful energy, I pride myself on creating a gentle, nurturing environment where every dog and cat feels cherished and completely at home while you're away. I’m currently working part time, so I have lots of time to care for your pets! I am flexible on scheduling and can fit your pets needs into my schedule easily. I typically care for pets in clients homes in order to best provide a comfortable environment for the pet/pets. I treat every environment like I would my own!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Whitesburg is $34 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 and $47 per night. 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.

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 Whitesburg 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 Whitesburg 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 Whitesburg 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 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.

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.
