“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!”
“Aspen was amazing! She did everything exactly as we asked her to and we were able to enjoy our time away knowing she was taking great care of our babies. Highly recommend especially if your fur babies need any extra help or medications.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Whiting
We had a last-minute need for a dog sitter over a weekend, and we messaged Rachel to see if she was available. She got back to us almost immediately and was able to help. A couple of days before we left, she stopped by to meet the pups and get familiar with everything. Rachel was very polite, attentive to instructions, and detail-oriented. She arrived on time and stayed at our house for about three days, making sure the dogs had plenty of food, exercise, and cuddles. She also sent lots of pictures and kept us updated on how everything was going, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. We’d definitely book Rachel again!
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.
Julia was amazing! She took such great care of our dogs, and it was obvious they enjoyed all the love, attention, and playtime they got with her. She was very responsive to messages and kept us updated with pictures, which gave us great peace of mind. She also took wonderful care of our home and watered our plants. We would absolutely recommend Julia to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!
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.
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!

The average cost of House Sitting in Whiting is $31 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $56 per night.

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 , 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.
