“Gabby was well rested and not anxious at all when we returned from our trip. Amanda's love for animals shines through her work. Gabby is very high maintenance and this has been the best experience for both Gabby and us.”
“Lanae did amazing with my two pups! I have an older greyhound and young golden retriever who have the exact opposite personalities haha. She did wonderful with both! She kept me updating throughout the day and sent wonderful pictures to let me know my pups were doing well. I am so grateful for the time she spent with them while we were away. I would recommend her to anyone Loki g for a wonderful dog/house sitter.”
“Sarah was perfect! It was a last minute booking and she was a godsend. She came to meet me and my dog Tegan before the trip, communicated and sent pictures and it was such a relief for me! She took amazing care of my dog, gave her her medicine and sent me updates. I will definitely use her again and again!”
“Loren was just amazing! We have 3 fur babies with 3 different personalities and they loved her!! Molly, our oldest, sat next to her when we were touching base and kept giving her sad eyes and Raven, the baby had to give her lots of love before she was able to leave. We will be repeat with Loren! Amazing!”
“This was my first time having a pet sitter and Heather made the process so seamless. She provided constant updates and photos of my fur babies. I couldn’t have asked for a better first experience, and will definitely be working with Heather in the future!”
“We had a great experience with Allyson watching our two dogs for a week! She was very responsive throughout the stay and was proactive in bringing up that our one dog may be getting an ear infection. She was more than willing to help with a couple of house chores as well. We came home to a clean house and happy dogs! Thank you, Allyson!”
“I had such a great experience! From the moment we met, she was kind, reliable, and clearly cared so much about our dogs. She kept me updated with photos and messages, followed our dogs’ routine, and made sure they felt comfortable and loved while I was away. We came home to happy, well cared for pups and a clean home, which gave us so much peace of mind. I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone”
“We are so thankful for Amanda! She took such great care of our elderly dog over the weekend and went above and beyond to make sure she was comfortable and well cared for. Her communication was excellent, she showed up early, and he even went the extra mile by cleaning the sheets afterwards. Truly wonderful experience. We felt completely at ease knowing our pup was in such caring hands. Highly recommend!”
“We could not have been more happy with Tammie taking care of our pups ! She did an amazing job. She always stayed in communication with us whether by sending updates via text or sending pictures and videos of our pups. It was also obvious that our pups developed a bond with Tammie. which is extra comforting. We truly knew that our pups were in the right hands and our pups knew also. We will definitely call on Tammie again. Thank you Tammie !”
“Amanda was awesome!! You can tell she really loved on my lab the way I do. I had a bad experience prior to Amanda so I was scared to leave my dog with a sitter, but she was sending pictures and communicated thoroughly the entire time I was gone. Will definitely book again and am grateful for a good experience!”
“Bhavana did a great job house sitting and watching our two pups! She was easy to communicate with and responded quickly. She sent us photos and our pups looked happy. It's always a relief to not have to worry while you are out of town. We requested her services last minute because our original plans fell through so we are very appreciative of Bhavana!”
About: I regularly sit for my Dad. I've also consistently sat for friends, family friends, or neighbors. All have been different ages, sizes, and needs. I've helped train my dad's dog from puppyhood. I'm currently working part time, so I'll have time to be play with pups! I'll have time to stay for longer times with your pups until my shift. I can also do my job while being with pups if needed. If you're home has a fence, then I'll let them out off leash. If there is no fence, I will use the leash to let them out. (My family dog tends to run off if we don't leash him in the front yard so I understand the struggles) I'm comfortable with crating your dog while I'm working or at night if that is what you do. I'm also comfortable if that isn't the case.
“This was our first time using a pet sitting service and it was absolutely amazing! Aniyah is so sweet and kind and she treated our Kingston like her own from the very first time of meeting him. Aniyah sent us pictures and updates throughout the whole stay which made us feel so relieved and comfortable knowing our boy was being well looked after. If you're looking for a dog sitter we highly recommend Aniyah, she was the best!!”
“James is fantastic! He has watched our dog (and house) several times. It is obvious that he loves animals and he is very neat and conscientious staying at our house. It has been so helpful having someone we trust to take care of things while we are gone. Highly recommend!”

Aliyah was wonderful with our 5 dogs while we were on vacation. She sent daily photos, took great care of them, and went above and beyond! Highly trustworthy, confident, and competent, with great communication throughout - I can’t recommend her enough to care for your pet family!
We had a wonderful in home sitting experience with Erin! First time using an in home sitter and with a new puppy, so I was extra nervous. Erin went above and beyond!

The average cost of House Sitting in Whitewater on Rover is $83 per night as of September 2026. Most bookings cost between $35 and $100 per night. 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.

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 Whitewater 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 Whitewater 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Whitewater 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 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.
