About: I’ve taken care of dogs for the past 5 years, including my family dog and family friends’. I love going on walks, bathing, and feeding dogs. I know some tricks to give them medicine if needed. I’m working part-time on Saturdays, so I have plenty of free time to dedicate to your fur baby throughout the week. I don’t have any time restraints, so feel free to rely on me. I know how to crate dogs, regardless of age, and have a lot of patience since I’ve babysat toddlers before too. I know not all dogs are the same and wait for them to approach first unless there’s an emergency.
“Cecilia was the best! She showed lots of patience with my dog, Jojo, and she never hesitated to ask questions. I also really appreciate how often Cecilia would communicate via text. Good updates and even better pictures!”

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.
“Angela was the first person (other than family) we’ve had stay with our dog in 9 years. We were so anxious and she agreed to come do a meet and greet a few days before which made us feel so much better. She sent us frequent photos and updates. Our pup was a happy girl when we got home!”


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 pets stay at home I am very much flexible to come and take care of your pets in the comfort of their own home.
“Rebecca is so great with my pup jojo. This is the second time we had Rebecca as a sitter and she made me feel so comfortable leaving jojo in such excellent hands. It’s also always a nice sign to come home to a tired pup - it means I know jojo got a great walk during the day. Highly recommend Rebecca and we will continue to book her!”


“May took care of my dog and cat again recently. She is great with my dog, taking him on lots of walks. I will certainly book May again the next time I need someone to look after my pets!”

About: I do volunteer at dog rescue all the time, that’s how I met our baby boy ROCCO. We’ve been together for 9 years and another 9 years more for sure ☑️ I am full time dog’s burtler. Currently we have 17 yr old mixed poodle gentlman at home. Taking him out for every 2 hours for potty. We go to oakland lake and Crocheron park everyday ! House locates on ground floor in the building + back yard, 1,000 sqft big enough for up to 3 dogs ( including mr.Rocco ) we have many cushions and beds. Of course many many toys and activities!!

About: I have experience taking care of my own cat and dog. I am used to the daily routines of a pet, such as feeding, cleaning, play and company. I am a responsible, patient and careful person. I like to follow the instructions of each owner to respect the schedules, habits and needs of each pet. I also feel comfortable walking friendly dogs and making home visits to feed them, accompany them and make sure they are well. I have flexible availability during the week and on weekends. I can organize my schedule for walks and home visits, and I like to dedicate enough time to each pet so that it feels accompanied and well taken care of. I always carefully follow the instructions of each owner and respect the routine of each pet. I make sure they have water, food, walks and company, and I maintain constant communication with photos and updates during the service.
About: I've loved animals for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has always been something I'm passionate about. Over the years, I've cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages for family, friends, and through my professional experience. Whether it's going for walks, providing enrichment and playtime, feeding, or simply giving them love and attention, I enjoy making sure every pet feels happy, safe, and comfortable. I previously worked at a dog daycare, where I supervised and cared for large groups of dogs, learning how to understand different personalities and make sure every pup had a fun and safe experience. I now work at a veterinary emergency hospital, where I help care for and stabilize pets while supporting and communicating with their owners. This experience has taught me how to recognize changes in a pet's behavior, stay calm under pressure, and provide compassionate, dependable care. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I don't take that responsibility lightly. I'll treat your pet with the same love, patience, and care that I would give my own, so you can have peace of mind while you're away. Im currently working full time, 3-4 days of the week. I’m an available to play and care for your pup(s) during my free time as needed! Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my top priorities. With my experience working in a veterinary emergency hospital, I'm trained to recognize signs of illness, injury, or stress and know how to respond quickly if a problem arises. I provide a calm, clean, and secure environment where pets can feel comfortable and cared for. I'll follow your pet's routine, respect any special instructions, and keep you updated with messages and photos, so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in safe, loving hands.
“Shewta was so great with our pup, Rico! She was attentive, communicative, and sent us several photos throughout the day, along with updates. Rico can be stubborn (as bulldogs go) but Shewta managed him perfectly. Would have her back to watch Rico anytime!”

About: From long walks to slow sniffy adventures, I’m happy to match your dog’s vibe. I’m easygoing, reliable, and love getting to know each dog’s personality. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my priority—and I’ll send photo updates so you can see how they’re doing along the way 🐾 Right now, I’m available for dog walks and drop-in visits. I’m typically available on Fridays and throughout the weekends; sometimes I am free during the weekdays outside 9-5. If you have any questions or a specific time in mind, feel free to reach out and I’ll do my best to accommodate. I always prioritize safety, trust, and respect when caring for pets in your home. I follow all instructions carefully and treat everything with care. I do this work out of genuine love for animals and always treat each pet as if they were my own. I’m easy to communicate with and quick to respond, and I can send regular photo updates if you’d like.
“Megan was great with Louie! She was punctual, followed his schedule, sent a photo update, and played with him regularly. I came home to a very happy puppy. I will definitely be booking with her again.”

About: Hello for starters I'm a guy who loves doing cardio which comes hand to hand with dog walking. I can go hours and hours without getting tired. I own a dog myself (shitzu mix). Im a punctual man as well as man who loves to hiking . I’m very attentive and alert of my surroundings. I’ve walked numerous dogs all different breeds and sizes . I can walk up to 3 dogs. When walking a dog I tend to avoid other dogs and walk at their pace . I make sure to give a ton of updates of the dog walk to the owner. Currently walk three shitzus (same owner) Monday-Friday .
About: I have grown up around dogs as well as owned my own dogs for many years. I am well versed in walking, feeding, bathing, and simple grooming techniques. Currently, I work at a vet clinic where we have patients of all shapes and sizes, and I also spent two years being a puppy sitter for Seeing Eye puppies in training. Due to those two years, I have experience with puppies as young as 7 weeks old, and can confidently assist with basic obedience training where needed. I also have experience with larger breeds like Golden Retrievers, Labradors, and German Shepherds. My schedule changes weekly, however, I am almost always available for at least 4 days of the week! I also have extracurriculars but those are flexible and can be worked around. I always make sure to double check the fit of harnesses/collars to ensure the safety of pets on a walk. I am capable of putting an animal back in a crate if necessary as well.
About: I’ve had a deep passion for engaging with and taking care of animals since I was a kid; specifically with dogs & cats. I’ve been fortunate enough to have become a reliable sitter for several families and neighbors that I grew up with on Long Island, and have been able to continue serving many different owners across Manhattan while I attend university here in the city. My apartment is perfect for in-home boarding requests as this has become my favorite form of pet-care. Personally, I’ve yet to find anything in my life that I enjoy more than getting to play with and look after dogs and cats; over the years I’ve learned such a great deal about the type of engagement that dogs really need throughout their daily activity, as well as providing a safe and protected environment for cats that wish to roam. I’ve have solid experience administering medication, following strict meal plans, and even training as needed - all animals are different and require different types of care. It would be my privilege to watch over yours! I’m currently enrolled asynchronously at Touro University to pursue my Masters in Education which provides me with plenty of time and availability to be present and engaged with the animals I’ve been fortunate enough to work with. I have a spacious apartment with a full trained & vaccinated Labrador puppy of my own who’s incredibly docile, but quite playful! I am fully stocked on food, toys, treats, vitamins, an Animal First-Aid Kit, and even HeartGuard + Symperica Trio supplements (just in case.) Ofcourse, watching your animal in your home would be no problem either and I have extensive experience in doing so - it all really just depends on your need. Committing to your pet’s regimen and ensuring their comfort will always remain my highest priority.
“Cassidy is amazing. She’s attentive, empathetic, kind and considerate. She sent me plenty of videos and photos of my puppers and always asked questions before doing anything to make sure it was in line with how my boys are usually treated. I appreciate her attention to detail, as well as her kindness to my aging babies. I highly recommend her for all your pet care needs.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Whitestone
Katie was the best sitter I could have ever asked for. Extremely attentive to my kitten, communicative while I was traveling and took incredible care of Rupert. She sent daily videos, photos and updates. I cannot express how amazing she was, very thankful to have found her!

Shweta was amazing!! She house sat for my dog for the weekend, and I came home to a spotless apartment and, most importantly, a very happy dog. She took him on plenty of walks, sent me lots of pictures and updates, and was super communicative the entire time I was away. She also helped take care of my turtles and made sure they were fed, which I really appreciated. It was clear she took great care of everyone and the apartment while I was gone. I would absolutely love to use shweta again!!!

I cannot say enough good things about Kamryn. She took excellent care of my kitties and I have many spoiled princesses and a prince. My house was immaculate when I returned home, my kitties were happy, she sent daily photos and was so responsive to their every need. I will absolutely book her services again and you would be very lucky to have her take care of your precious fur babies and/or house.

Lilly was a great at-home sitter for my 4 month old puppy, Lila! Lilly tended to Lila’s needs, was affectionate with her, and was very responsive with me. She also consistently sent me adorable photos of my Lila while she was with her. Lilly also kept my space very clean. I will definitely hire her again :)

I had Jason watch my two cats while I was away for a few days and I am very happy with the service provided. I came back to everything the way I left it and all the cats things clean and organized. I had multiple follow ups and photos sent to me by Jason throughout the service. I would highly recommend and will definitely be booking with Jason moving forward!!
Cassidy is simply the BEST! This was the second time we used her. This time she stayed in our home, taking care of our two dogs for two weeks! She adores dogs, she’s responsible, sends updates, left the house spotless and best of all our dogs love her!! One of our dogs has anxiety, and she handles him perfectly. Cassidy should be everyone’s go to girl ❤️

Syeda was great, she was able to take care of my home, keep my cats company while I was away. I was very satisfied with her service and I highly recommend booking her for you house sitting and cat care needs. Thanks so much for taking care of my home and cats. Your service allowed me to travel and not worry about my home. I’m very thankful. Lisa ✨

Daniela was great, very reliable and updated me regularly with the pups' pics. She took great care of them and had previously taken note of all relevant details at our meet and greet. Also, the house was spotless when we came back. Would totally recomend Daniela to take care of your pups and your home!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Whitestone is $30 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $19 and $80 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.
As of October 2026, there are 19,092 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Whitestone. 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 Whitestone 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 Whitestone 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 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!
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.
