“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.”
“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.”
“Madeline watched our 2 dogs, 2 cats and our house while we were in Arizona for a week and let me tell you, she is phenomenal! She messaged us with questions and updates and sent hilarious pics; I knew my fur babies were in great hands and were well taken care of! Our pug had a special diet due to recent surgery too and Madeline kept him healthy and safe. We will definitely be booking her again if she’s available; she’s fantastic!!”
“Emily went above and beyond with our puppies. She sent pictures every day, spent LOTS of outdoor time with them and did everything she could to make sure they were not only taken care of, but happy. When she left she cleaned up to the point that we hardly knew she was here. Highly recommend, will definitely be hiring her again!”
“My experience with Aspen and first time using Rover was very simple and easy. 2 1/2 day housesitting / dog sitting for two. Returning both the house and pets seemed well taken care of : PERFECT Thank You”
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.
“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!”
“Craig did an amazing job with our 3 dogs and left the house in perfect shape. This was our first experience using the Rover app, but everything went smoothly. I’d highly recommend Craig for your pet care needs”
About: I am currently a veterinary assistant, so I am comfortable paying close attention to an animal’s behavior, routine, and overall well-being. I also have experience working as a behavioral training assistant and dog walker at a humane society, where I worked with dogs that had many different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I have experience caring for dogs with separation anxiety, and I understand how important patience, consistency, and a calm environment can be for pets who may feel stressed when their owners are away. Through my behavioral training experience, I have also practiced working with dogs on basic manners, confidence-building, and adjusting my approach based on each dog’s personality. I also have practice giving medications and assisting with vaccines, so I am comfortable following specific care instructions and making sure each pet receives the attention they need. Overall, I try to treat every pet like they are my own while still respecting the routine and expectations their owner has already built. Whether a pet needs extra playtime, a slower approach, medication, walks, or just someone calm and attentive nearby, I am happy to adjust my care to what works best for them. Pet care fits very well into my current routine because I am only working as a veterinary assistant in Antigo two days out of the week. Outside of those workdays, I have a flexible schedule and am especially available on weekends. Since I will be in the area for the summer before I move, I would love to use that time to help people in the local community with pet sitting, dog walking, drop-ins, or other care needs. I know summer can be a busy time for travel, work, and family plans, so I am happy to provide reliable care when owners need someone they can trust. My schedule allows me to give pets the time and attention they need while still being consistent with their normal routine. I care for pets in a client’s home by trying to keep their normal routine as consistent as possible. I know pets can feel more comfortable when their feeding schedule, walks, playtime, medications, and quiet time stay close to what they are used to, so I always pay close attention to the instructions each owner provides. I am also very detail-oriented when it comes to caring for someone’s home. My goal is for you to return to a space that feels just as comfortable as when you left it, whether that means cleaning up after your pet, keeping food and supplies organized, bringing in mail, watering plants, or making sure the home is tidy before you return. Overall, I want both pets and owners to feel comfortable. I treat every home with respect and every pet with patience, care, and attention to their individual needs.
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!
“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’ve grown up with many different kinds of animals from dogs to bunnies & hamsters. I’ve also been around cats my entire life we just never had one in the house because my mom was allergic. I love animals as they have been my entire life growing up! I have been dog sitting for a year now, since January 2025 Pet care takes place in my everyday life because I have an 8-year-old dog and just got a puppy recently. I love to take them on walks and play with them outside. I also love teaching them new tricks and making sure they have fresh food and water. I can take your dogs on walks if they need them daily. I would also love to play with them to keep them entertained and get there energy out. If your dog sleeps in the bed no worries I love to have a snuggle bug next me.
“Jennifer did a GREAT job!! I came home to a very happy dog. Not to mention a clean house and yard. She knew how anxious I was about leaving him and kept me reassured the whole time. Thank you for being all I could have hoped for!”
“Amber is fantastic! Shows up on time, texts any questions, takes pics of my crazy pets and sends them while we are away. I know they’re in great hands when Amber is their sitter! Highly recommend Amber and will be hiring her again!”
About: I’ve worked with dogs and cats aswell as many other animals for many years! I know how to groom, bathe and clip nails, I know how to train aswell when it comes to both cats and dogs, knowing i’ve pet sat for family and friends since i was young it grew on me for training them! I can trick, potty, behavior train too! I take care of my own pets everyday! i find it relaxing and enjoyable, it brings me great joy to spend time with animals and gives me a sense of purpose! I love to make sure everything is clean and tidy, dishes are clean as well as the animals, making sure they have what they need and have quality enrichment time.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Whiting
I’ve used Julieth and Noah twice now for some short visits to get my dogs acquainted with them prior to my upcoming trip that is two weeks long. I am very impressed with them. They have great communication, very accommodating and are reliable. I travel quite a bit so it’s nice to be assured that my dogs are in good hands. I plan on using them for all my travels abroad. I’m confident in saying that others will as well!
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.

FAQs for House Sitting - Whiting
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.
