“Emma was extremely pleasant upon first meeting her and was very accommodating to my dog. While away, my dog suffered a medical emergency and because of Emma’s attention to detail, understanding of canine behavior and quick decision making, my dog survived a very dire situation. Although this is never how I would want any pet sitting experience to go, this has given me the utmost and complete trust and faith in Emma to watch my pet(s) and she will always be my first and preferred choice. Emma was very attentive to all of my dog’s needs during their time together and has even followed up during his recovery to check in on him. She is truly a kind, caring, and compassionate pet sitter and I would give her 10/5 stars if I could.”
“Maddy is thorough, conscientious, and a great communicator. She did amazing work with my 'fraidy baby rescue and I was able to do what I needed to, without any worry!! She's wonderful! Thank you, Maddy!”
“Being a first time user, I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. They were excellent, kept me updated, sent pictures and videos throughout their stay. Will definitely be using them again!”
“Joe Ann was a fabulous sitter for our 2 year old golden retriever. She showed care and loving attention which eased our minds while we were away. This was our first time leaving our fur baby for an extended vacation and we felt confident that she was being well taken care of. Our home was vacuumed, dusted and the bed linens washed when we returned. We Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Joe Ann worked together with her daughter Emily who is also listed on Rover.”
About: I’ve grown up with cats and small dogs my whole life. Right now I have two boy cats from an animal farm in Puerto Rico. Our favorite activities are cuddling and taking walks with the cat stroller. I have had some experience dog sitting small and medium sized dogs for family and friends for days to a week at a time. I love animals and I will treat your pet like my own. I have a flexible schedule currently; let’s work something out! I’m currently working part-time, so I have an abundance of time to spend caring for and playing with your pet(s). I generally work Monday, Tuesday, Friday, and Saturday evenings. I currently do not offer boarding in my own house. My housemate has a shy and anxious, but very adorable, cat who does not get along with my two kitties and we need all the space we can get for their comfort. Thank you for understanding.
“Aspen was truly great with my pup. She kept me updated and I was super happy to receive pictures of her and my pup together. You can tell she is really good with dogs. Highly recommend Aspen!!!!”
“Madeline is Great! My wife and I had a good feeling from her right when we met her. We have never left Ace with anyone overnite before, she is going on 18 years old. We felt very much at ease when we were gone. Madeline kept in contact with us via text when we were gone. We both would recommend her in a second!!”
About: I have always had pets in my life. From rescued dogs I would fine abandoned on the side of the road to horses who were about to be euthanized by our local rancher. Cats, kittens, puppies and adult senior dogs always have a place in my heart and home. I am an adopter and rescuer. I would love to help you with potty breaks to walks. Feeding to medication administration. Let me know what you need help with and I’ll be there. I’m currently looking to help pet owners as I have been in situations where I needed help with drop ins for potty breaks to needing someone to walk my dog while I was at work. I’m familiar and comfortable with doing all of the above along with giving oral or topical medication. I’m recently retired and would love to spend time helping out. I am very familiar with dogs and cats and all that goes along with making sure they’re comfortable and well taken care of care of.
About: I’ve had multiple dogs and cats growing up, and loved playing and watching my neighbors animals, taking them on walks, playing fetch and loving them. I have a cat and a 1 year old corgi of my own so I know how they can sometimes be a lot to handle. I’d love to help you get some of your time back if you need to do some errands, go on a trip, or just sit In bed all day. Im currently working full time at the university here in Stevens Point but my job is very autonomous, which allows me to work with you and figure out the best time for me to come care for your animals! Unless I have meetings, my schedule is very flexible! Im also very open on weekends unless plans already set. I would do anything for my fur babies and anybody else’s. They deserve just as much love and care for as humans do. My corgi loves other dogs and does so well with them- we can host your dog for a little bit or I’d be happy to sit at your place. Whatever it is, I can work with it!
“Amber helped make our little family getaway so much more stress free than our past ones have been. She sent me updates (along with cute pictures of my pooch) which I appreciated so much! Will definitely not hesitate to ask her to pet sit again in the future. Thank you Amber!”
About: I grew up with pets and now have had a dog of my own for the last 6 years. I have also taken care of many of my friend’s dogs (including senior pups).

I have tons of availability and flexibility at this time. I am happy to work around various schedules as well. I am familiar with various crate and leash systems. I have also worked with various breeds and personalities. I will ensure that I will do my best each visit to make sure your pet is as comfortable as possible.
“Leora was delightful right after meeting her; she is kind, easy to communicate with and definitely a pet lover! She greeted my dog and he immediately liked her. Her reviews from past clients were accurate and I felt very comfortable with the care and attention she provided. She was very accommodating to the needs and concerns I expressed in regard to the care I desired and communicated with me on how things were going. I would certainly recommended Leora for pet care to any future clients! I will schedule her again for any future needs if she is available!”
“Daniel was fantastic with our sweet baby! Having a Dane, we are always nervous about new people watching her. Daniel was kind and loving with her and took amazing care of her, allowing us to fully enjoy our time away. His communication with us was phenomenal as well. We will absolutely be hiring him again in the future!”

Fenced yards are a plus!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Whiting
I went on vacation for two weeks and had arranged for Noah and Jullieth to house sit my 2 dogs while I was gone. Noah works from home and Julieth cares for their 1 year old so “my kids” had constant attention whether it was going for walks, playing or simply hanging out watching TV. It gave me peace of mind knowing my dogs were at home rather than in a kennel or somewhere that they weren’t familiar with. For me that is priceless! I was very impressed with the GREAT communication they provided. Plenty of photos were shared with me and it was as if my dogs were on vacation as well! When I got back I was pleased to see they left my place clean and spotless! Prior to me leaving they stopped over a couple times discussing any questions they or I had to make the transition as smooth as possible. They also agreed to help out by watering my flowers, some trees I transplanted and even mowing the lawn! To sum it up I would highly recommend them! They did an amazing job and I wouldn’t hesitate using them again the next time I’m away.
Claudia did a wonderful job with our dogs. We don’t leave them for an extended period of time very often, so we were quite nervous. Claudia put us at ease right away and kept us updated and sent pics to us. The house was just as we left it. We are very appreciative of the great care she gave our 4 legged family members. I highly recommend her for your next pet sitting.
Rachel is awesome! She put up with my problem furchildren so I could enjoy a weekend with my human children. As a very successful rover sitter myself, I hope this review holds extra weight because Rachel deserves it! I look forward to using her services again and even referring some of my clients to her when I can't help them. Hire Rachel, she's a good one!
Again Brittney was such a big help with our animals. She was even coincidentally available to help us batten down the hatches for the big storm. I was immediately notified and updated when my dog injured herself and she took great care of her with surprise meds. She has clear communication and takes beautiful pictures of my pets! Thanks Brittney!
Ava was a lifesaver for us, picking up a “sit” with short notice. She came for a meet-and-greet and our dog, Paddy and cat, Chicken, loved her right away! She was punctual in coming to our home and took great care of the animals during a cold and snowy weekend. The house was left nice and tidy, too. THANKS, AVA!
Brit stayed at our home for a week to look after our two golden retrievers who are both incredibly energetic and high-needs!! We didn’t worry one bit while she was here. From day one, Brit jumped into our routine with warmth, reliability, and a calm that instantly put our dogs at ease. Brit kept our dogs happy, safe, and well-exercised. She managed their high energy with patience, engaging play, and plenty of mental stimulation. She kept them on their feeding schedule, followed routines, and made sure they had ample outdoor time, naps, and plenty of affection. Communication was exceptional. We received regular updates and photos, which was a huge comfort while we were away. Our dogs clearly bonded with her, and we felt confident that they were in capable, loving hands the entire week. They were sad to see her go… watched Brit drive away through our living room window! Bottom line: if you need a trustworthy, dog-loving sitter who truly understands high-energy breeds, Brit is your person. We’d hire her again in a heartbeat. Highly, highly recommended.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Whiting on Rover is $31.08 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 114 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Whiting. 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 Whiting 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 Whiting 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 Whiting 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
