“Natalie was great. We needed someone last minute to check in our cats and she was super responsive and helpful. The rover app had a few issues at first but she was quick to respond to us and helped set our minds at ease.”

“Rose is the ABSOLUTE best!! She took care of my susu and made her feel very comfortable and happy! I would 100% recommend her to anyone who wants their fur baby to be in good hands. She gave her her medicine, changed her litter, made sure she had food and water and even maintained her morning routine and spent quality time with her. Can’t say enough about how much of a jem Rose is!”

About: I’ve always been a lover of animals especially cats and dogs! I have my own cat that I’ve taken care of through thick and thin. Administering a pet medicine, a bath, a walk, food and water, and companionship is something I’m very fond of. Your pets will be treated like my own. :) I have all my weekdays free for taking care of your furry companion! However, if I have certain errands or appointments I need to get done I will let you know in advance as soon as anything comes up. :) I will make sure to accommodate to whatever requirements or rules you have set for your place of living. Please let me know of all of these before allowing me to care for your cat/dog.

About: I’ve looked after dogs of all shapes and sizes, you name it! I really care about animals and make sure every pet I watch feels safe, loved, and part of the family. I know how much they mean to you, and I always do my best to keep their tails wagging while you’re away. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine! I’m available Monday through Friday and I have full availability on Saturdays and Sundays. Whether it’s evening walks during the week or full-day care on the weekends, I love spending my free time with animals and making sure they’re happy, exercised, and cared for. When I’m taking care of pets, I treat them just like I would my own — with love, patience, and lots of playtime! I stick to their normal routine so they feel comfortable and relaxed, whether that’s keeping up with walks, meals, or cuddle time. I also love sending updates so you can see how your furry friend is doing while you’re away

About: Cat dad of over 20 years making sure my pets are happy, healthy, safe and clean. Lover of all animals and so my due diligence to make sure they are happy. Available on weekends and after 5pm on weekdays. I work full time but have a flexible schedule outside of it. Currently do not live with my own pet so my attention will be turned toward your fur baby. I approach animal care very gently, making sure they're comfortable with me. Always bring treats to make that process easier. I make sure they are properly fed, groomed, and area cleaned to make that comfort a priority.

“Wow, Thoselin you were amazing! Although my brother and I had to leave so urgently for vacation, you were able to do everything needed and more for our sweet Beagle pup Bruno. We did not have much time to give you as many details as we desired before leaving, but that didn’t stop you from being so inquisitive and taking such gorgeous and cute pictures of Bruno. We missed him a lot while we were away and worried for his care since he is not used to being left alone for such long periods, but after seeing him playing with all his toys and having so much fun with you we felt so relieved and knew that we chose the right dog sitting professional. We will be sure to use your services again, and if you are a pet owner reading this - CHOOSE THOSELIN ! ? You won’t regret it as she has a dog and cat of her own and is very patient and accommodating. Thank you for being so caring and patient with our pup despite his puppy nips and high energy levels. Thank you times 1,000! ❤️”

About: I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their family is away! I treat every animal I care for as if they were my own, taking the time to understand their unique personality, routine, and needs. I currently do drop in visits and house sit for a 3-year-old Pit Bull named Dutch, providing walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, and lots of affection while maintaining his regular routine. I'm dependable, patient, and attentive, and I understand how important consistency is for pets. Whether your pet loves long walks, energetic play sessions, quiet companionship, sticking to their daily routine, or just wants to sit outside and supervise the neighborhood squirrels, I'm committed to providing the same level of care and love that I'd want for my own pets. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in caring, capable hands. :) I currently work part-time in the environmental field and work remotely, which gives me a flexible schedule to meet your pet's needs. Whether it's walks, drop-in visits, overnight stays, or sticking to your pet's regular routine, I'm happy to work with you to find a schedule that works best for both you and your furry friend. :) Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I know every pet has their own routine, personality, and needs, so I take the time to learn what makes them feel most comfortable. Whether I'm caring for your pet in your home or mine, I'll make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and love while following your instructions closely. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands!

About: I am from Colombia, and most of the time I lived on farms, I have always had pets and I also took care of my family's pets when they were on trips, I am responsible and very affectionate with them. Furthermore, being with pets relieves me of stress since they are angels. What differentiates me from others is that I respect them and give my best for their well-being. Until the end of August I have every day free to take care of your pets. From September to December I have Monday to Thursday mornings busy, since I am a nursing student but I am free from 3 pm. On saturdays I can take care of your dogs after 1 pm. Fridays, and Sundays are also free! My house is big, it has a good backyard area where the pets can be, they can run, we also have a pool but they will always be safe, because I will be there. The house is closed so there is no danger of them escaping. How do I take care of pets? I pamper them, I feed them, I play with them, I take them for walks and I do everything so that they have a pleasant day.

About: I am a responsible and reliable animal lover . I have had animals all my life and even worked with dogs and cat for 6 years at a rescue and adoption center. I love animals; i have 1 older cat and 2 dogs. My older dog Dino is about 10 years old and is a couch potato at this point in his life. My younger guy Reuben is about 6. He was rescued from Georgia from a kill shelter. I also have years of experience with reptiles and fish! I have 2 crested geckos, an electric blue crayfish and a turtle. I’ve also taken care all types of fish, bearded dragons and other lizards! I work locally so can come home or do home visits throughout the day for check ins! I am also available early morning and anytime after 5pm for drop ins and walks. At my house, we treat all pets like our own! I have a fenced yard so all pups will be safe. My dog is friendly and accepting of all dogs! I am also familiar with crate training so can accommodate that but me and my kids are also open to them sleeping with us at night :)

About: I've been dog walking and sitting for four years in both New York and Los Angeles. I've worked with dogs of all ages, shapes and sizes all over the city. I'm experienced in dog play groups and hikes. I've also administered medicine when needed. I grew up around pooches as small as Pomeranians and as big as Great Danes. I've done it all and can't wait to keep the good times rolling with your pup! I am a freelance writer (mostly advertising) which means my hours are flexible and I have plenty of free time during the day to care for your pups. I also have weekend availability when needed. I have years of dog walking and sitting experience. I'm comfortable with the full array of harnesses and leashes and have supervised countless play dates at dog parks if that's something your pup is into. I've always kept a great line of communication with pet owners so they know their loved ones are safe and most importantly - they know exactly what happened on their little guy's walk. Personally, I have two cats at home and I give them their little medicines so I am comfortable providing that service to your pet if needed.

“Jaixa has done it again!! I had a last minute international trip and she was so accommodating and was able to check up on Fuji regardless. She was reliably updating me, sending me pics daily, and was so gracious through a small nipping incident when Fuji got excited (sorry again!). I returned to a happy healthy clean kitty who I'm pretty sure did not miss me at all and wonders where Jaixa went :D You're the best Jaixa!”

Fadong was excellent!! I needed someone very last minute and reached out to several people early in the morning, and he replied immediately and assured me my boy would be in the best hands. And he meant it! He was very communicative, on time, and very attentive and loving with my Biggie. I am very happy with his care and highly recommend him to any other person looking for high quality care for their pups.

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Whitestone

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Whitestone is $28 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $43 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 October 2026, there are 26,303 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Whitestone. 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.

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 Whitestone 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!

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 .

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.

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 .

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Whitestone with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Whitestone. On Rover:

  • 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 88% 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.

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.
