About: I have been in the pet-sitting scene for 3 years now! Started with friends and family, then branched out from there! I've learned how to care for a variety of animals, including dogs, cats, birds, and my favorite type of pet: rodents (Guinea Pigs are the Best!). Taken care of older pets that need medications and careful care, as well as young and energetic pets that need some more playtime and enrichment! I believe one of the most important skills to have to be a great pet sitter is proper and clear communication with the owners. I communicate how often an owner would want! I would communicate with videos and pictures of your pet's adventures, or communicate any concerns if any arise. I want to make sure that while you're away, you can rest easy knowing your pet is safe and happy! :) I do work part-time as of right now, typically working 15-25 hours a week. I mostly work morning shifts from 10:30-5:00, but usually leave an hour early. If you need me to stay most of the day, please let me know at least a month in advance; I would happily take off work! There are a few things I would like to know about your furry little friend: 1. How often do they need to go out? 2. How much enrichment do they need? 3. Do they take any medication? 4. Do they have any triggers I should be concerned about? 5. Do they have a good understanding of commands? (It's ok if not :3) 6. How long can they be left alone? Please inform me of anything I need to know. I want to make sure your baby/babies are taken care of! I can't wait to meet some new friends! I'm currently working a part-time job typically working 15-25 hours a week. I usually work morning shifts ranging from 10:30-5 or 11:00-5:00, but sometimes get off an hour early depending on the day. If I need to stay for the majority of the job, please let me know at least a month in advance; I will gladly ask off! I will inform you of my schedule when we talk! :) I ensure I’m properly informed of your pets making sure I know their personality, if they have medication, habits, etc. I make sure they have plenty of enrichment through the day and I love to update my clients of their pets well-being by sending pictures, videos, and more!

About: Ive taken car of, raised, and trained dogs my entire life. Ive always had a knack for it, and i love it. I’ve administered and given more medications than i can count. Ive dealt with dogs in heat, dogs after surgery. You name it, I've learned my way through it. Let me take care of and love on your babies. And of COURSE they can sleep with me 🫶🏼 I work from home and can maximize time with your baby! I can do any weekend you may need, for check ins, walks, or consistent care. Nightly care is optional through the week, as are walks and check ins. I have a no fence yard. I would be walking them when they need to go potty. If you prefer crates, please bring one. Dogs are allowed to roam free in the home all day, and allowed on furniture.
“We love Amber! This is the third time she has watched Google, and we couldn’t be happier. She is so sweet, extremely communicative, and always sends the best text and photo updates. Google gets top-tier attention and care every single time.”

About: With 18 years of experience caring for dogs, I understand that every pup has their own personality, routine, and needs.

My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment where your dog feels happy and well cared for while you’re away. From walks and playtime to feeding, cuddles, and keeping up with their normal routine, I’m committed to giving your furry family member the attention and care they deserve. With years of hands-on experience, patience, and a genuine love for dogs, you can feel confident knowing your pup is in caring and dependable hands. I’m flexible and happy to work with your dog’s individual routine and needs. I can provide attentive care throughout the day, including regular walks, playtime, feeding, bathroom breaks, and plenty of love and companionship. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities when caring for them in your home. With 18 years of experience, I understand the importance of maintaining a secure, calm, and familiar environment for every pup. I carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, doors, gates, and your dog’s daily routine. I make sure your dog is supervised, safely secured when needed, and never placed in situations that could put them at risk.

About: 🐾 Welcome! Hello! You can call me Wendy. I’m a tenured physics professor and a lifelong animal lover with many years of experience caring for both dogs and cats. I understand how important it is to find someone you trust to care for your pets while you’re away. 🐶 Exclusive Boarding – ONE Dog or ONE Family at a Time! Unlike boarding environments with multiple unfamiliar dogs, I welcome only ONE dog or ONE family’s dogs at a time. I never mix dogs from different households. Your pets will enjoy a peaceful, comfortable home environment with plenty of individual attention, affection, and care. They can relax, follow their familiar routines, and feel right at home. My goal is to make their stay feel like a little vacation in a loving home, rather than a boarding facility! 🐱 What About My Three Cats? I have three cats of my own, but they live in a dedicated sunroom that is completely separate from the main living areas of the house. Your dogs can enjoy the home without interacting with my cats. There’s no need to worry about your dog getting along with cats! ❤️ Experienced, Patient & Personalized Care I have experience caring for senior pets and understand the importance of routines, medication schedules, and paying close attention to changes in behavior and health. I’m patient, reliable, and detail-oriented. Whether your pet is young and energetic or older and needs extra patience and gentle care, I treat every pet as if they were my own.

My schedule is especially flexible during evenings, weekends, holidays, and university breaks. Whether you need house sitting, drop-in visits, dog walking, feeding, litter box cleaning, or care for senior pets, I will treat your pets and home with the same care and respect I give my own.

About: Let me ease your mind and bring comfort to your pets when you travel! I've been pet and house sitting for 20 years in the Pewee Valley / Louisville, Kentucky, area.

I also do house and pet sitting through Trusted Housesitters (I only mention that because I have 40+ 5-Star reviews with them ... I've included a couple of screenshots in my photos). I turned 67 in February, so your pets will get a lot of my undivided attention, especially if I'm house-sitting for you. I'm pretty much a homebody, though I do very much enjoy walking everyday, especially with canine friends! I will care for your pets in your home in a manner in which they are accustomed. I try to adapt my schedule and routine around theirs as much as possible. I have experience with elderly and special needs pets and can administer medications if needed.

About: Hi! I’m Earl, and I’ve always genuinely enjoyed being around dogs. Whether it’s going for walks, playing outside, or just hanging out with them, I like getting to know each dog’s personality instead of treating every dog the same.

When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat both the pet and the home with respect.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 723 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Whitfield. 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Whitfield. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
