“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).”
“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 ❤️”
“Stephanie is my absolute favorite sitter that I've found through this site. She is dependable, loves our pups, and sends lots of pics. I can always count on her to give our pups the love and attention they need.”
“Thank you again for taking care of my babies! Bailey took great care of them and I appreciate the consistent updates throughout the entire time I was gone with photos and texts.”
“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!”
“Kyla is great with our pups! She’s reliable and stays at our home with our pups while we’re gone. Kyla is great at communicating and we’ll continue to use her to care for our pups!”
“Holli and Susan are the best doggie duo!! They took care of our family dogs when we went on vacation and we felt so good about how they were cared for. We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing they were happy. We have used them multiple times and will again!”
“Allison always goes above and beyond to take care of the dog while we are away. I feel like I don’t have to worry at all. She’s great at communicating and sending updates and the cutest pics too! I highly recommend Allison for dog sitting and dog walking.”
“Josh took care of our dogs while we were gone for a long weekend. Unfortunately one of our dogs became ill the night before we were due back. Josh did an excellent job informing us of her symptoms so we could figure out best plan for her. He cared for her and kept us up to date on how she was doing until we could get a family member to come take her to the vet. We absolutely trust Josh to take care of our dogs!”
“Kristan did great watching our dog at our house for the weekend! Our dog is a little particular and requires lots of walks for her energy and Kristan was great meeting her needs. She gave her all the attention she needs and gave us updates. She also left our house all neat and clean! Definitely recommend her!”
“Cole was a Godsend when I found myself needing to find care for our two pups at the last minute on 4th of July weekend. She specializes in dogs with firework and thunder anxiety which both of our girls struggle with so when I saw her profile, I prayed she would have availability, and that prayer was answered. Nicole came right over to meet us and everything worked out better than I could have hoped for. She is very communicative and sent updates and photos throughout the visit. She even brought a white noise machine to help mask the noises from the fireworks to help keep our babies! If you are looking for a kind, compassionate, attentive and highly skilled caregiver you can not go wrong with Nicole! She is amazing and I will definitely reach out to her the next time our girls need a sitter! Thank you Nicole! Until next time!”
“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!”
“We can't say enough wonderful things about Miranda and the exceptional care she provided for both our home and our senior cat. From the very start, her professionalism, warmth, and dedication were apparent. Miranda kept us updated with regular messages and adorable photos, giving us total peace of mind while we were away. Beyond her attentive care, she left our home in immaculate condition. We wholeheartedly recommend Miranda to anyone looking for a trustworthy, thoughtful, and reliable house and pet sitter. She exceeded all expectations, and we will absolutely be reaching out to her for future stays!”
“Emily watched our 4 babies: 2 dogs and 2 cats for 4 days while we went on vacation. She did everything we asked, and sent us so many updates and photos. We had never left them before, (and our oldest is almost 7). So to say I was anxious, is a huge understatement. She even got our extremely antisocial cat to interact with her, she’s the best.”
“Sydney did a lovely job of bonding with Lexi, sending pictures, and she even gave our Lexi a bath! Sydney left our home looking absolutely stunning which was beyond amazing, as my son was sick when we came home, and I needed to tend to him. Thank you so much!!!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Whitestown
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!
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 $36.5 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 1,436 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.
