“Kendall did a great job caring for my dogs. They loved her!! She took them on adventures and treated them to pup cups at Starbucks! Yes, my dogs are a little bougie 😊. I highly recommend Kendall to care for your pet(s).”
“Bailey was awesome! Our three dogs were happy and well taken care of while we were gone. Bailey did a great job communicating with us and sent pictures of the dogs to us while we were away. The house was well taken care of and looked just as it did when we left.”
“Stephanie took the time to get to know my dogs before we left on vacation. Her visits to get to know them really made for a smooth stay. She communicated throughout our trip which added to our comfort leaving them and allowed us to enjoy our time away.”
“Chris and Liz were absolutely amazing caring for our dogs during our 10 day vacation. We really appreciated the service of them staying at our home. On the very first day, one of our older dogs was accidentally injured, and Chris went above and beyond to make sure she was comfortable, loved, and well cared for throughout her recovery. He kept us updated with frequent messages and plenty of photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear they genuinely cared for our dogs as if they were their own. We came home to two happy, well loved pups and couldn't be more grateful. We highly recommend Chris and Liz to anyone looking for caring, trustworthy, professional pet sitters!”
“Anne was wonderful and you can tell right from the first moments of meeting she is a dog person. I would definitely recommend her to anyone in the future. She took great care of our dogs and was very communicative. Thank you Anne ❤️”
About: Ever since I was little, I’ve taken care of all kinds of dogs and cats for family and friends. From the most energetic puppies to anxious rescues, I am very experienced in pet care, and will ensure your furry friends receive all the love and attention they deserve while you’re away! I am currently taking a break from school, making me available all throughout the week to help with anything you need—including walks, check-ins, and house sitting. I cannot care for your pets in my home because my dog gets very anxious around other unfamiliar animals. However, I can definitely stay in your home where your pets feel the most comfortable, & will take care of them exactly as you would like!
About: What sets me apart is the care and attention I bring to every pet. I don’t just love animals, I notice the small details, follow their routines closely, and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their family is away. As a dedicated dog parent, I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages and energy levels, including senior dogs who need a slower pace and extra support, puppies who require consistent supervision and routine, and pets who need additional patience or reassurance in new environments. I’m comfortable administering oral and topical medications, following detailed care instructions, and maintaining specific feeding schedules, including pets with special diets or picky eating habits. I’m also used to managing multiple care needs at once, such as balancing walks, feeding routines, and medication timing for more than one pet in a household. I also know how important peace of mind is for pet owners, so I provide regular updates, photos, and clear communication throughout each stay or visit. For example, I make it a point to share how your pet is adjusting, how they’re eating, and any little personality moments that help you feel connected while you’re away. My goal is for your pets to feel relaxed, loved, and well cared for, like they’re on their own little vacation. 🥰 Since I am a student completing school online, I spend a lot of my time at home, which allows me to have a flexible schedule and dedicate plenty of attention to the pets in my care. I love being able to take breaks from studying to spend time with animals, whether that’s going for a walk, providing companionship, or keeping them on their normal routine while their owners are away. My own dogs are a big part of my daily life, so caring for animals already fits naturally into my routine. I understand that pets thrive on consistency, attention, and feeling comfortable in their own environment, and I’m happy to provide that extra love and care when you can’t be there. Animals are my passion, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. As a dedicated “helicopter dog parent,” I understand how important it is to feel confident and at ease when leaving your pets in someone else’s care. For dog walking, I ensure each walk is safe, enjoyable, and tailored to your dog’s needs—whether that means an energetic outing or a relaxed stroll with plenty of sniff time. I’m experienced with a range of personalities, leash behaviors, and special requirements. For in-home care, I maintain your pet’s normal routine and provide attentive, reliable care while you’re away. I have experience with both cats and dogs, including administering medications, following detailed instructions, and managing feeding schedules. I take time to understand each pet’s unique personality, preferences, and comfort needs.
“Megan did an amazing job! Took notes and was flexible to every need and preference, pictures and updates regularly, and my minions clearly had a lot of fun! Highly recommend and will be requesting again for my future dog sitting! Thanks Megan!!!”
About: Hi, my name is Ashlea! I am a fur momma to a beautiful little pomsky and a german shepherd!! I know how stressful it can be when you are busy or on vacation and you need someone to look after your pet. I’m here to help! A little about my background in dog sitting.... Whether it’s my families dogs, friends or neighbors dogs, they can always count on me. I absolutely love dogs and I am extremely dependable. I will treat your pup as one of my own. I love being outside and going on adventures! Cooper, Tampa and I go on multiple walks per day so it’s part of our everyday routine! Let’s be honest, dogs are better than most people. I love hanging with the dogs! 😊🐶 Available most evenings and during lunchtime. I have two dogs of my own and we take multiple walks a day as part of our daily routine. Care for them just like my own. I know how stressful it can be to leave town or have long days at work and have to worry about your pups!
“Nicole did an excellent job taking care of our dogs. She kept us updated with message, picture's and videos, which gave us great peace of mind. The best feedback we can give is that our dogs absolutely loved her and felt very comfortable with her. We would definitely trust her again!”
“Danielle was awesome with our GSD and two cats. She was very professional and I felt completely comfortable with her. She was great at providing updates and keeping us informed and at following their feeding/medicine schedules. I highly recommend her and would definitely use her services again.”
About: I am very skilled with animals ! I’ve grown up with showing and raising different kinds of animals my whole life ! It would be a pleasure to help care for yours ! I’m currently a server at a restaurant , I work a couple night shifts weekly ! During the day I am open and free ! I currently live in a nice neighborhood with our own fenced in yard ! I also have a dog which is a golden retriever and she loves other dogs !
“Courtney is an excellent pet sitter! She gives daily updates and responds quickly. She was also able to give our senior dog medication easily. Will definitely rebook in the future!”
“Having Evelyn watch our dog was a great decision and one we’ll repeat in the future for sure. We were feeling guilty about leaving our nervous dude for almost two weeks but Evelyn put our minds at eases. She came over beforehand, met Otto and took lots of notes. Evelyn took care of our house (even keeping garden veggies alive in summer) and our dog and you should too. Great communication too! Thanks Evelyn!”
“He was great and really helped me out with a last second booking when I got delayed an extra day coming home due to issues with airlines. My girls loved him and appreciated having company for the night”
“Noelani has sat with Diesel on multiple occasions. Diesel runs to her whenever she arrives at the house. He clearly has an attachment to her that reassures us that we have no worries about his welfare and comfort when we are away from home and Noelani is there. We will continue to use Noelani's services in the future.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Whitestown
Earlier this year Elizabeth would do once a day drop in visits for our cat. But now my cat is newly diabetic and needs shots twice daily which complicates going out of town more! Having Elizabeth regularly checking on my cat and doing the shots is so helpful. I appreciate it so much!
Christine was available last minute on a holiday weekend and more than willing to help us out. My dogs LOVED her! She was super flexible, walked them a ton, sent frequent updates and pictures. She even managed to charm my Multi-shi who is very selective with his love. So thankful we found her and will definitely use her again. She not only cared for our dogs but kept an eye on the house too.
I’ve used Kendall for both house sitting and drop-in visits for my pets, and I can’t recommend her enough. She was fantastic during her week-long stay at our home. She kept us updated whenever we checked in, took our puppy on long walks and hiking trails, and even treated her to pup cups. She spent time working on training, kept her active throughout the day, and clearly gave her so much love and attention. We also came home to full food and water dispensers, which made settling back in after a long trip so much easier. Kendall is incredibly responsive, dependable, and always does her best to accommodate us—even when we have last-minute meetings or unexpected schedule changes. Knowing our pets are in such great hands gives us complete peace of mind. We will absolutely continue using her services and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will care for their pets like they’re her own.

FAQs for House Sitting - Whitestown
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Whitestown on Rover is $38 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 1,412 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Whitestown. 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 Whitestown 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 Whitestown 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 Whitestown 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.

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.
