“If I could give Jamie 10 stars I would!! She is amazing with the pets and house. I don’t have to worry about a thing when she is helping us out. She’s caring, kind, professional and reliable. Can’t say enough about her!!”
“This is the second time we’ve had Jack watch our pups while we were gone for a week. He did great as always! He gives us consistent peace of mind while we are away, knowing the dogs have good and caring company.”
“Had a great experience with Stephanie and Elizabeth! They house/pet sat for us for a full week and we were not concerned at all while away as we knew our pets (2 dogs and turtle) were in great hands. They sent us regular updates including photos and videos! We felt very comfortable with them both with our pets and in our home. Without a doubt, we will use their services again. Thank you for helping make our time away more enjoyable!”
“Seth spent a long weekend with our pups and cat and took great care of the animals and our home. His knowledge and empathy with animals is evident in his updates and communication.”
About: Hello! My name is Andrea and I am a full-time student alongside working part-time as an EMT. During my downtime, I study, organize my days and spend time with my animals. They are my absolute pride and joy, the best friend you could ask for! I have always loved dogs, and have had animals since I was five years old. I used to pet sit for neighbors before I moved away to college and really enjoyed it! I also volunteered at Nate's Honor Animal Rescue, which is located in Bradenton. I enjoy growing and learning more and more about different animals as I become more experienced on this app! I am looking forward to taking care of your fur babies with the same love and care you provide for them!
“Sara was fantastic. She house sat and looked after our two cats for a week while we were away and we could not have been happier with the service she provided. She kept us updated every day with how things were going and left the house tidy as if nobody was ever there. We could not recommend her more.”
About: I’ve taken care of relatives/friend’s pets since I was about 8. I have the ability to care for pets in many ways, such taking them on walks, give them outside play time, feed and bathe them, show them love and affection while their owners are away. My friends and family find me very reliable/dependable when it comes to caring for their pet. I’m currently an athlete at SCF. So, I have practice Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 3-5:30. My weekends are fully available and i my weekdays are very open. I have a wide, open spaced living room so, your dog/cat can roam free. I also have a dog park in my neighborhood so, they can have a safe area for outside play time.
About: I am attentive and constantly educating myself on animal behavior so your pet gets only the best for its needs! Ive helped friends and have been referred to others because of my pawtastic care! Im currently working part time so I can give your pet all the love and walks he/she deserves and needs as well as pets. Only the best for your furry family! Ive attended to medical instructions by owners and im very patient so animals love me because they are truly respected. I also send videos and pictures to my clients so they get updates in real time.
“Cassidy was a thoughtful and prepared sitter. She provided an update about our pup every morning and was quick to change plan to adjust to our pup’s needs. She utilized the resources we had at the house to ensure our pup was getting enough stimulation outside of walks. Cassidy was thoughtful in ensuring both household and pet needs were met while we were away. We would love to have Cassidy back.”
About: Hi there! I’m an experienced pet caregiver dedicated to providing top-tier care for animals of all shapes and sizes. Whether your family includes a high-energy or high-anxiety dog, cat, or even a feathered friend, I have the hands-on experience needed to keep them safe, happy, and thriving while you are away. I understand that every animal has a unique personality, specific routine, and distinct communication style. My goal is to provide seamless, stress-free care that perfectly mimics their usual daily routine so you can have complete peace of mind. I have been passionate about animals my entire life. I have had dogs since I was born and gifted my first horse at the age of 4. Since then I have had the pleasure of keeping dogs of all sizes, horses, parrots, and many tropical aquariums. I currently have a high-anxiety German Shepherd and a pit-bull mix that are like my babies since I have no human children. I also love to go on long walks for exercise and would love to take your pup with me. I work remotely for an eye doctor and have a very flexible schedule. Due to this, I can be available for your pets whenever you need. It’s always stressful to leave our pets behind. Finding reliable care for your pets when you’re away should be easy. When staying at your home or dropping in for visits, my priority is keeping your environment secure and your animals completely comfortable in their familiar surroundings. I will send many check in photos and videos as well as communicate any questions or concerns so you feel like they’re right there with you.
“Kylee was wonderful with Stella while I was out of town! Stella was clearly happy in her care, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. I’d happily book Kylee again and recommend her to anyone looking for a caring sitter.”
“Larissa did a wonderful job. She communicated very well, provided photos everyday, and gave our pets plenty of attention. We hope she will sit for us again in the future :)”
“Justin is great!! He was very attentive and responsive. His love for animals showed in sitting for Moose and Maybel. I highly recommend him for his caring and experience. He’ll be are go to for any pet sitting we need. Thank you”
“Debbie took great care of Moxie. I'm always nervous leaving my girl with a new sitter, but Debbie put me right at ease. Her two dogs are sweet and calm and it was great for Moxie to have companions. If your dog is nervous, she has ways to keep them separated. I appreciated the daily updates, photos, and videos and reassurance so I could relax and enjoy my business trip. I will definitely leave Moxie in Debbie's care again.”
About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life. In high school, I fostered dogs, which gave me hands-on experience with different breeds, temperaments, and energy levels. Since 2017, I’ve also had a dog of my own, so I understand the daily responsibility, structure, and attention pets need to feel safe and happy. I’m comfortable with everything from energetic pups who need stimulation to more laid-back pets who just want companionship and consistency. I treat every animal like they’re my own. Real estate gives me a flexible, self-managed schedule, so I can easily fit pet care into my day. I’m often out and about locally, which makes drop-ins and walks convenient. I can accommodate mornings, midday visits, evenings, and weekends depending on your pet’s needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping their routine as consistent as possible. I follow all feeding, walking, medication, and care instructions closely to make sure your pet feels comfortable and secure in their familiar environment. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, and affection while also respecting your home and keeping everything clean and tidy. I’m happy to send photo and video updates so you can feel confident and connected while you’re away.
“Rickie was delightful to work with. She took such good care of Max and kept in touch with pictures every day. It was such a good feeling to know that she was taking care of Max. I highly recommend her.”
About: I've taken care of numerous animals over the years & done everything from deep cleaning them in the bath to wrapping a kitty burrito to clip their claws! In recent years I've taken care of my senior dog, walking her up to 10 times a day and cleaning up after her when her stomach is acting up. It's hard work but worth it when you have a companion for life! I also recently raised my kitten from a month old, staying up late nights to train him on solid foods, using a litter box, and keeping him comfortable! I'd love to get some extra animal time in caring for your little ones! I am currently a full-time student at Ringling College but with plenty of time for your pets! I am happy to look after your pets overnight, and in-between classes, providing frequent walks, playtime, and maintaining your feeding schedule :) I will treat your pet as if they are my own! Walks, rubs, and play time will be ample and your animals needs will be my priority. I am able to do walks multiple times a day and keep a calm, comfortable environment while you are gone!
“Heidi is the absolute best, she took amazing care of my little girl while I was away on a business trip and I can’t be more grateful for her. This is the first time that I’ve ever used the service so I was a bit apprehensive at first but she put my mind at ease and kept in constant contact the entire time. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy person for their pet care needs!! 10/10!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Whitfield
Amanda was amazing, our dog Mac is not your average easy going dog. He can get scared, he can be a bit reactive on walks when he sees another dog so finding someone who could manage all of that was such a relief. Mac absolutely loved Amanda who was very generous in keeping me updated with how he was and of course lots of cute pics. I would highly recommend Amanda 10/10🤩
This was our first time contracting with Jamie and we are very satisfied! She immediately bonded with our standard poodle. She was very conscientious with feeding schedule and eye drop medication. She kept Mindi active playing ball and walking several times a day. Jamie went beyond our expectations, we look forward to the next opportunity to use her services.
Lindsay was awesome. I was stressed because my dog suffers from separation anxiety & this was the first time I was leaving him in a year. Lindsay sent me photos & texts which made me feel 1000% better. I highly recommend Lindsay for your pet sitting needs. Thank you Lindsay for your professionalism & taking great care of my Tillman & your communications with me while I was out of state visiting family. It made a world of difference. Thank you.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Whitfield is $61 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $37 and $78 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.

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 Whitfield 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 Whitfield 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 Whitfield 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.

- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
