“Gabriella has been a true blessing for us this holiday. Having two senior pets with special medical needs, we are constantly worried about them. We were very nervous to leave home, but Gabriella was truly caring, professional, and dedicated. Upon our arrival home, we found Christmas presents for our babies waiting on the table. We are so grateful for the wonderful care our pets received from Gabriella and highly recommend her!”

About: Hi, I'm Kevin! I've spent 14 years caring for dogs, and I genuinely love every minute of it. I offer dog walking and drop-in visits in the evenings and at night around Utica/Rome — perfect if you need someone after work or while you're away. I'm reliable and punctual, and I'm comfortable with dogs of all sizes and energy levels, from slow strollers to high-energy pups who need a good run. Every visit includes photo updates so you always know how your dog is doing, and I always do a meet-and-greet first so your dog and I can get comfortable with each other. Looking forward to meeting your dog! Pet care fits into my early mornings,evenings and nights — that's when I'm available, a few hours each week. I offer dog walks and drop-in visits in the evenings, so whether you need a walk after work, a late-evening let-out, or someone to feed and check on your dog while you're out, I can work around your schedule and your dog's routine For walks and drop-in visits, I care for your dog in your home and around your neighborhood, following your routine and instructions exactly — feeding, fresh water, playtime, and plenty of attention. On walks I keep your dog leashed, under control, and safe, and I always clean up after them. You'll get photo updates every visit so you know how your pup is doing. I start every new booking with a meet-and-greet so your dog and I can get comfortable, and I respect your house rules while you're away.

“Alexandrea was absolutely amazing with our two cats! Communication with her was easy and she sent us pictures everyday of our cats. First time trying rover and she went above and beyond for us. Not only did she take great care of the cats, she even cleared snow when there was a storm while we were away, so above and beyond what she came to do! I would recommend her to anyone for care of your pets while you’re away.”

“Anastasia was excellent! I had last minute plans out of town and she was very accommodating to board Maui. Maui was so comfortable and had a great time playing in the yard space with her new dog friend! Anastasia sent me lots of pictures each day of Maui! She even started to train her to sit on command. I highly recommend Anastasia, she is an outstanding caregiver! I will be using her again in the future!”

About: Dog mom providing loving, reliable care for puppies, adults, and seniors. Patient, attentive, and committed to keeping every pet safe and happy, and comfortable always. As a full-time online student, I have a flexible schedule and spend most of my day at home with my Poms. This allows me to provide attentive, reliable care for one to two dogs per day, ensuring they receive plenty of supervision, exercise, playtime, and affection. I have my own home with a large patio area where pets can enjoy fresh air and supervised outdoor time. Since it is not fenced, I always keep pets safely supervised and use their collar or leash when needed. I provide daily walks, exercise, playtime, and loving care while following each pet’s routine and needs.

“Anna was an absolutely wonderful sitter! She came twice a day and provided our 6 cats with first-rate care and companionship. She communicated extremely well and our cats, who are not used to strangers, all warmed up to her very quickly. That is a testament to how good she is! We will definitely be booking her again in the future!”

About: With 6 years of dedicated experience in pet care, I provide a comprehensive and compassionate service tailored to the unique needs of each animal. My expertise extends beyond basic care to include specialized skills such as positive reinforcement-based puppy training, helping to establish good habits from an early age. I also have a deep understanding of senior dog care, including administering medication, providing gentle exercise, and creating a comfortable, low-stress environment. I have experience managing a variety of medical conditions, ensuring your furry family member is safe and well-cared for at all times. My goal is to be a trusted partner in your pet's health and happiness, providing peace of mind while you're away. Each morning starts with feeding, watering, and a potty break for the pets in my care. This is followed by a morning walk or playtime to get their energy out and start the day on a positive note. Throughout the day, I follow individual schedules, which might include specific feeding times for puppies or senior dogs, medication administration, or scheduled walks and potty breaks. The afternoon often includes another round of playtime or enrichment activities, such as puzzle feeders or training sessions, to keep their minds engaged. Evenings are typically quieter, with a final feeding and potty break before a relaxing wind-down. My weekly routine involves a bit more planning. I coordinate with pet owners to schedule walks, check-ins, or overnight stays. I also use this time to restock on supplies and keep detailed records of each pet's behavior, eating habits, and health. If a pet is in my care for an extended period, I might schedule a grooming appointment to ensure they're in top shape. My schedule is built around the needs of the pet, ensuring they receive consistent, loving care and that their owners have peace of mind. Caring for pets, whether on my own or a client's, requires a responsible and attentive approach to ensure their well-being. A fundamental aspect is providing a consistent routine, including scheduled feeding times with high-quality, species-appropriate food and fresh water that is always accessible. Regular exercise is crucial for both physical and mental health; this can range from daily walks for dogs to interactive playtime. Environmental enrichment, such as toys, scratching posts, and comfortable bedding, helps prevent boredom and destructive behaviors. It's also vital to maintain a clean and safe living space by regularly cleaning food and water bowls, litter boxes, and bedding. Beyond daily care, a thorough pet care plan includes regular grooming, such as brushing and nail trims, and staying up-to-date on veterinary care, including vaccinations and preventative treatments for fleas, ticks, and worms. For client homes, clear communication is paramount. It is important for me to obtain detailed instructions regarding the pet's specific needs, routines, medications, and any behavioral quirks, as well as emergency contact information. This holistic approach, combining routine care with attention to individual needs and a focus on safety and hygiene, ensures a happy and healthy life for any pet under my care.

About: Taylor and I are lifelong animal lovers with experience caring for pets of all ages, breeds, and temperaments, including those with special needs. We both grew up with lots of pets and truly can’t imagine a home without them. We have hands-on experience working with a wide range of behaviors, which helps us provide structure, consistency, and a calm environment for every dog in our care. Through my time pet sitting, volunteering at shelters and fostering dogs, I’ve gained practical experience with pet first aid, administering medications, and bathing. We keep a small, carefully managed group so each pet receives individualized attention, plenty of supervision, and a safe, comfortable, home-like experience. While we both work full time, we can still meet your needs. Weekdays or weekends, we’ve got you covered! Rest assured, your pets will be on a consistent schedule, just like ours! We have a full acre of land with plenty of space for dogs to run, play, and explore. Our property is set far back from the road, with an electric fence and a secure run for pups who can’t be off leash. There’s even a doggie pool for hot summer days, outdoor dog beds for lounging, and lots of toys for playtime. Our own dogs are friendly, trained, and social — they love meeting new furry friends and joining us on adventures. Whether it’s a hike, trip to the creek, or a visit to a dog-friendly store, we make sure our pets (and yours!) enjoy life to the fullest. We understand how important it is for your pets to feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. We take introductions slowly and carefully, provide separate spaces when needed (including a calm, cat-only room), and can accommodate crate-trained dogs with our double crate setup and baby gates for added security. You can feel confident that your pets will be treated with the same love, attention, and care that we give our own.

“I was nervous and not sure what to expect from Rover. My pets have never stayed with anyone outside my family. I was quickly assured that my pets would be safe and loved with Mariana. She listened carefully to my many instructions and gave each of my three pets individual attention. She is very knowledgeable and extremely kind. I feel my pets will not only be safe in her hands but have fun as well!!!”

Anastasia was a great sitter! I hired for a week of drop in visits. Everything went well and she sent me updates and photos during her visit. It certainly looked like my dog had a really fun time and was well cared for. I will definitely call her again in the future when needed.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Whitestown

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 218 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Whitestown. 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.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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.

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.

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

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% 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.

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 Meet & Greet.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
