“Karla took amazing care of our dogs once again. She’s punctual, communicative, and kind. Karla respects our space and loves our dogs. She sends awesome photos and goes above and beyond, even bringing in packages. 10/10 wonderful sitter!”
“Briana picked up my last minute job and she was a livesaver! She did a fantastic job, communicated well and my animals liked her. It's such a relief to have a responsible pet sitter that I know I can trust! I would definitely love to hire her again and will highly recommend her.”
About: I have 3 cats at home with my wife. We spoil them with everything they need to live a fun and adventurous feline life and we wanna do the same for yours. While I don't have any kind of professional background with pet care, I can make up for it with a lifelong history of loving and caring for my own. Pets are more than just animals but a part of a family. I can guarantee your pet will feel the same warmth and love I've given to mine. Even at odd hours I will be available. I'm currently part time so I have plenty of time to check in or watch your dog in the the day. I'm also available at night. I have a big backyard so I spend a lot of time with pets there. There is plenty of room to run around and play.
About: I’ve taken care of two large dogs and one mini poodle. I have experience in bathing, feeding and and providing medical care. I live next to Astoria park and can provide the necessary stimuli to make sure your pup is entertained and happy😁 I have a 2 year old poodle that needs daily allergy medication. I provide special care for her and monitor her very closely. I also administer shots for allergy related issues. I treat my pets as I would my own child. I understand that pets are part of the family and I promise to treat them as such. I have a pup of my own and my wife and I love her dearly. I promise i will treat your pet as if he/she were my own because I know how important they are to you and you’re family.
About: I have experience pet sitting for families I nanny for, especially during holidays and busy weeks, and I’m very comfortable staying overnight in their home to make sure pets feel safe and cared for in their normal environment. I have also house sat for other families where I provided daily care such as feeding, giving fresh water, taking dogs on walks, and making sure they get plenty of potty breaks and attention. I understand how important it is for pet owners to have someone they can trust, and I always treat every home and pet with respect. Pet sitting fits perfectly into my daily routine! I currently work part-time as a nanny on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays. My nanny schedule is very flexible and limited, which allows me to still be available for pet care throughout the day when needed. The rest of the week (Wednesdays, Fridays, weekends) I am completely free, so I have plenty of time to provide walks, drop-in visits, playtime, feeding, and overnight stays. I’m able to give pets lots of attention and make sure they stick to their normal routine. Because my schedule is flexible, I can often accommodate last-minute bookings and provide consistent care for your pets while you’re away! Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my #1 priority. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your fur baby and your home, and I take that responsibility very seriously. I make sure pets are always supervised, cared for, and kept in a calm, safe environment while you’re away. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walking routines, and any special needs your pet may have. I also make sure doors and gates stay secure, leashes are properly used on walks, and your pet stays in familiar areas where they feel comfortable. Whether I’m doing a quick drop-in visit or staying overnight, I treat every pet like my own and every home with respect. My goal is to give you peace of mind while making sure your pet feels safe, loved, and happy the entire time.
About: Hi!! Lily here!! I am a full time teacher looking for a part-time adventure with your pet!! I have been a proud cat mama for 5 years now, having grown up with both dogs and cats. As a pet parent, I know your trust is precious. I have been entrusted over the years with many of my loved ones’ family members, including kittens, senior dogs, excitable puppies! I have experience with various levels of training as well. I know one of the most important ways to protect your pets’ peace is to introduce as little change and upset to their routine as possible while you’re away. That’s why I’m here to learn their norm and deliver it!! As for your peace, I am open to as much communication about your little one as you’d like for your reassurance- expect all the cute pet pics your heart desires!! I am a full time teacher, so my availability for house sitting is limited to the weekends but drop-in visits and walks are much more open. I’d love to be able to build a relationship with your pet over time, so reoccurring scheduling is available! Typically, I am free after 5pm until 10pm on weekdays and open on the weekend (until 10pm Sunday depending on commute). I will not be offering in-home services for the safety and benefit of your animals and mine. My bonded pair of mother and son cats are not interested in friends, sadly! So, the ball is in your court for care!! Whatever your animal’s normal is, I aim to deliver. Please give me detailed instructions upfront and be patient with any questions while I try to maintain your pet’s routine.
About: I started caring for pets in school by looking after classmates pets and later helping neighbors. I’ve been around animals my whole life and currently have four French Bulldogs who are like my sons. I love treating pets as family, celebrating their lives, and including them in my daily routine whenever possible. I have experience with both puppies and senior pets. I am patient, reliable, and attentive, and I always make sure pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. I am currently on vacation, which allows me to have a flexible schedule to play with, walk, and fully care for your pet. I am available from 10:00 AM to 9:00 PM, both weekdays and weekends. I provide reliable and attentive care in the client’s home. I always follow instructions carefully, respect the home, and ensure pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I give them exercise, attention, and affection to keep them happy and relaxed.
About: I’ve always been around animals and naturally treat pets like family. I’m patient, attentive, and good at reading animal behavior, especially with nervous, energetic, or stubborn pets lol. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, so I try to keep them comfortable, safe, and stress-free while their owners are away. I’m dependable with feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, cleanup, and giving pets attention instead of just “checking in and leaving.” I also know how important communication is, so I make sure owners stay updated with messages and pictures. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I’m used to being active throughout the day and handling responsibilities that require consistency and attention. I can work around feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, medication reminders, and playtime. I understand pets need stability and patience, especially when their owners are away, so I make sure they get attention, exercise, and care instead of just being left alone. I also try to stay flexible for last-minute needs when possible. Cats have their own quiet, separate space where they can feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed without needing to interact with dogs unless they’re comfortable doing so. I understand cats usually do best with calm environments, patience, and giving them space to adjust at their own pace. 🐱
About: I have been a pet sitter for various platforms and have loved my experience of meeting new people and learning about their pets. I would love to get to know you! I am a senior in college and have been pet-sitting for about one year. I am independent, communicative, and flexible. I am studying wildlife conservation and have a plethora of experience getting my hands dirty. Pet Care is very important to me. I am in my senior year of college, so I often have services available on days when I do not have classes. It is serious work; pet care is just as critical as childcare, so I'd like to ensure that I give enough time and attention to the pets that I am working with I am very hands-on throughout my pet-sitting experience. I love getting to know each personality of the pet that I am watching and learning new things about each person that I meet. I am very communicative throughout and a quick learner.
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and can’t imagine a home without them. From playful puppies to senior companions, I understand their needs and personalities. With years of hands-on care, I provide patience, attention, and love. Your pup will be treated like family every time they’re with me. I own a work from own business so I’m free all day. I just make a few calls around 7am and then my day is open. In my home, pets are treated like family. They’ll enjoy a safe, comfortable, and loving environment filled with care, attention, and plenty of playtime to keep them happy.
“Janelle was great with my boys! When we got home, we found super happy dogs and a very clean house! She is easy to communicate with and kept us very informed on our dogs/house while we were away. We will definitely book her again!”

And first and for most regulate the animals safety and care always. Able to provide baths teeth brushing if necessary and any other regular care.

Taking intermittent breaks to enjoy the breeze and lap I make I have a reward such as an apple or build eggs snack not only for myself but for my loved one. I like to offer free training and assurance that even a old dog can learn knew tricks. My pets have since passed on happy old age, and am now looking to make, amazing connections with new furry friends I have to baby kittens who are very loving and have there own space all to them self away from, the day care area.

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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
