“Julie was willing to come over for a meet and greet on her own time before walking our dog, Posie, and has been incredibly reliable and communicative every time she's worked for us since. She follows instructions carefully and always send updates and photos. Posie loves her! Highly recommended.”

About: I have always been surrounded by dogs and cats and I thoroughly enjoy being in their company. I have an immense love for animals and find great joy in spending time with them. I am currently taking online classes, which gives me a very flexible schedule. I am able to dedicate plenty of time to spending quality time with your best friends. I have veterinary experience from working at an animal hospital, which has given me a deep understanding of animal behavior and needs. I am detailed oriented and thrive on following directions precisely to ensure the best possible care for your furry friends.

About: I have always had experience growing up, taking care of animals of all kinds, from dogs to cats to reptiles and even fish. I have experience, fostering and caring for puppies, as well as training, puppies to become guide dogs. I myself have had numerous pets growing up, including two dogs. I currently have a beautiful rescue puppy (she’s actually 9 years old, but a puppy at heart), who I love with all my heart. As a pet caregiver, I will make sure your furry family friend will receive all the love and attention. I will treat your pet just like one of my own. I am currently available during the weekdays and possibly weekends, as long as there is notice ahead of time. I am more than happy to work a schedule that works for the both of us! I currently live in an apartment with my puppy. If you are more comfortable having your dogs stay at home I am very much flexible to come and take care of your pets in the comfort of their own home.

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.

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 understand how nerve wracking it may be to leave your pet with someone new. Thankfully, I am here to assure you that your dog will be reliably taken care of while you are away. I am more than happy to arrange a meet and greet and will send multiple updates and photos throughout your dog's stay so you can enjoy your vacation and time away from your pet at ease! I've taken care of many friends and family dogs throughout the years when their owners would go on vacations. I have experience taking care of multiple dogs at once where I walked them, played, and fed their pets for many weeks. I finally found my forever furend, Romeo who is now a 7-month-old pomsky! Romeo is playful and loving. He will be a great companion to your furry friend during their stay with us! I am working from home and I am very flexible on taking your pets on walks throughout the day. I have a private rooftop I can bring them to, a nice quiet neighborhood area to walk around and there is a dog park 25 minutes away. Any and all instructions you leave for me will be followed with the utmost care to keep your little buddy happy! My daycare services are from 9 am - 6 pm daily; the cut-off time for boarding services is by 6 pm daily. My dog-friendly apartment building has a private balcony where your fur baby can enjoy the fresh breeze throughout the day. I also have an amazing, beautiful rooftop that has fake grass where your pet will enjoy running around! I have provided a photo of the gorgeous private rooftop below. I have a spacious 2 bedroom apartment that is clean, mopped, and vacuumed daily. Your pet will have a private and quiet area to rest and spend their day happily!

About: Since I was a baby I always had a special connection with animals especially dogs. I was raised with big dogs and they always felt like big teddy bears to me. Now as an adult I work as a dog handler. I've worked for Biscuits and Bath and now I work for a great company called Camp Canine. I've grown attached to our beautiful dog family. I want to extend my services to owners who might be looking for a more affordable way to keep their pets safe and busy having one on one fun. I have lots of references from Biscuits and Bath and Camp Canine. I look forward to spoiling your doggo. :) P.S. I can live stream every single time that I care for your pet. I’m currently working the weekends over night so I have plenty of space available. Your babies will be well attended to. I look forward to meeting them. I have a nice cozy apartment where I take care of the dogs and I also have a park directly in front of my building where they can get plenty of exercise with me.

Cassidy was a dream come true. My dog is so nervous around strangers and became a challenge while I was away but she found a way to make it work. My kitten adored her and I know he will miss having her visit. Thank you for everything!!

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.

Leona was amazing with our dog Doeby! Doeby is a very large energetic dog that requires constant attention and Leona provided everything that Doeby needed. Doeby appeared happy in every photo that Leona sent us. 10/10 service. She went above and beyond and allowed us to enjoy our wedding weekend without having to worry about Doeby. We will definitely be hiring her again.

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.
