“Samantha was very responsive while taking care of our two cats while we were gone for a week. One of them is a very good hider, and she went out of her way to make sure they were both happy and healthy. We would definitely work with Samantha again in the future!”

“Absolutely. I’d make it a little warmer and more polished while keeping it natural: Emily did an amazing job taking care of my two pups while I was away for two weeks. She was very communicative whenever something needed my attention, but was also incredibly independent and trustworthy in caring for them. It was clear from the start that she genuinely loves animals, and I felt completely comfortable knowing they were in her care. I would absolutely recommend Emily!”

About: I’m a devoted dog lover and stay-at-home pet caregiver with a friendly, nearly 5-year-old beagle who adores canine company. I have lots of time to cater to your dog’s needs—whether that’s plenty of cuddles, neighborhood walks, or longer hikes—and our beagle has a calm, social temperament and has never met a dog he didn’t get along with. He even helps new dogs settle in at daycare thanks to his gentle nature. I’m comfortable with dogs of all breeds and energy levels and tailor walks and activity to each dog’s needs (short, slow strolls or more active outings). Safe, attentive care and lots of affection are guaranteed—happy to discuss routines, feeding, and any special needs your dog has. I’m currently not employed so my days are flexible. Any doggos that come to the house will be joined by our friendly beagle. Walks are completely up to your discretion. I will do whatever is easiest and the most safe for your pets. We have a crate in our house that can be used if needed. We also have a yard that is not fenced in.

About: I am the proud owner of Lilly. She is a sweet and fun loving Lab mix who loves to play and spend outdoor time with other pups. She is well trained and obeys many commands; especially when treats are involved😁. Lilly would love to go on local walks with your dog or spend dedicated blocks of time (play date) at our residence in East Bridgewater (fenced back yard and open land adjacent to property). Lilly would start with a meet and greet to get acquainted since the priority is your dog only for the walk or dedicated play date. Lilly likes to go on walks multiple times a day. She has been asking for play dates for several years😁. She is excited at the opportunity to meet your pup. Aside from short walks in your neighborhood, I have a fenced back yard and open land adjacent to our residence. These areas will be primary used for play dates with Lilly. The play dates are dedicated to your pet and no other dogs will be present during the date.

About: Certified "Fur Grammy" and the go-to for any pet related questions. I have been caring for not only my own but my kids dogs for as long as I can remember. I have fostered just about any pet including goats, sheep, ponies, dogs... I love all animals (maybe more than humans, shh!) and my life has always revolved around pets. My current household includes a 9 year old male mutt, Diddy. He is friendly and playful but appreciates his snuggle time as well. Have experience with various breeds including Bullies, St Bernards, Spaniels, you name it ! I am very flexible and available for any pet needs. My pup rarely goes more than 2 hours alone, if ever, and neither will your dog. I have a fenced in yard, that has been safe for 13 sheep, 2 goats, a pony and 4 dogs all at one time. I live next to expansive conservation land with a wonderful trail through the woods for the dogs. We truly feel our home is the perfect set up for pets & have homed & baby sat & fostered many wonderful animals here. I hope to add your pet to that list!

About: Hello! My name is Andie and I work at VCA South Shore Hospital in ER, ICU, Neurology and Internal Medicine as a technician assistant and have prior TA experience at Old Derby Animal Hospital. I recently graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Biology. I previously went to the University of Arizona for 3 years studying animal sciences and transferred my junior year to return to the East Coast. I also have some experience with a handful of farm animals from my time at the UofA. Additionally some of my experience comes from working on home farms taking care of horses and alpacas; all of this meaning my knowledge of animals is extensive to give the best care for your furry friends! I have always had the passion for animal care and medicine which is why after graduating I will be continuing my schooling to be a CVT and hopefully someday a veterinarian. A few years back I had participated in boarding through Rover, but after a hiatus I decided to come back to continue with walks and drop in visits because even outside of my main job I love to be around animals! We have a small family dog, but other than that I have rescue retired racing greyhound, Moose, who has travelled far and wide with me. My pets also include many fish, a leopard gecko, chickens and ducks! All this being said, I would absolutely love the opportunity to be alongside your best friends and scratch the itch to spend as much time with animals as I can! I am currently working full time at VCA Animal Hospital where I can do Sat, Sun and Mon anytime. I am open to doing drop ins and walks. It would really help potentially putting me in a position for veterinary school! I take care of your pets like they are my own. I think every one has their own needs and personality, there is no "one size fits all" for any animal. I try to learn your pet on an individual level!

“⸻ I’ve been trusting Abhay with my dog for the past four years, and I can’t recommend him enough. He is incredibly reliable and always punctual, which gives me such peace of mind. One of the things I appreciate most is his excellent communication. After each session, he provides thoughtful updates on how things went, which shows how attentive and engaged he is. On the rare occasion when there’s any uncertainty, he doesn’t hesitate to reach out for clarification, which I truly appreciated. It’s clear that he takes both his work and my dog’s well-being seriously. It’s a huge comfort knowing my dog is in such capable and caring hands.”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with 15 years of experience caring for dogs, and I’m excited to get back to doing something I truly enjoy! I’m a proud dog mom to my own pitbull, Jax, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. I absolutely love animals and enjoy getting to know each dog’s unique personality. I’m reliable, caring, and attentive, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. Whether your pup loves long walks, leisurely strolls, or getting outside to explore, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, care, and love along the way. I’m currently offering dog walking services and would love the opportunity to meet your pup! My goal is to make every walk a safe, happy, and enjoyable experience for both you and your dog. ❤️🐶 I can’t wait to meet your four-legged best friend! I work full-time during the week, but I’m happy to fit dog walking into my schedule when I’m available! I’m available for walks on weekday evenings and have more flexibility on weekends. I’ll always do my best to accommodate your schedule and make sure your pup gets the exercise, attention, and love they deserve. I prioritize every dog’s safety and comfort, treating each pup as if they were my own. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy and attentive. I provide walks in the client’s neighborhood, always use a secure leash, and adjust each walk to the dog’s age, energy level, and needs.

About: I’ve owned my fair share of animals over the years and there’s one thing for certain, I never had one that didn’t like a treat and a belly rub. Im available nearly everyday preferably from 8 in the morning to 8 at night however I am willing to make exceptions depending on service needed. I have a half acre fenced in backyard and a quiet- low traffic neighborhood that’s great for walks. I’ve owned 2 large dogs so I am able to control larger pulling dogs if needed.

About: I’ve been a dog parent my whole life, sharing my home with everything from high-energy Shepherds, Dobermans, and Collies to lovable Pugs. Whether it’s managing big-breed energy or catering to gentle small dogs, there isn’t a personality, size, or temperament I haven’t cared for. Currently, I’m the proud parent of Oliver, my 13-year-old Plott Hound mix who has been by my side since he was just 8 months old. Raising a dog from his wild puppy months all the way into his golden senior years has given me a deep appreciation for every stage of a dog’s life. I know firsthand the extra patience, gentle pacing, and careful attention senior dogs need, as well as the structure and exercise younger pups thrive on. I prefer sitting in your home because keeping dogs in their own comfortable, familiar environment makes all the difference for their peace of mind. When I stay at your place or drop in for walks, you can expect: Strict adherence to their routine: Exact feeding times, daily exercise, and familiar sleeping arrangements. Senior & special care awareness: Patience with slower walks, mobility needs, and routine medication. Full respect for your space: Clean, secure, and respectful house sitting so you can enjoy your time away stress-free. Regular updates: Photos and quick check-ins so you always know your pup is happy and well-loved. Whether your dog needs an active walk around the neighborhood, a game of fetch, or just a quiet companion to lounge on the couch with, I’m always ready to treat them like family. I work full-time (9:00 AM – 5:00 PM, Monday through Friday), but my schedule is extremely flexible for in-home pet care: Remote Work Friendly: If your pup needs someone around during the workday, I can easily work remotely right from your home, giving them continuous companionship and mid-day potty breaks. Evenings & Overnights: My weekday evenings and nights are wide open! I’m fully available after 5:00 PM for walks, dinner feeds, playtime, and overnight stays. Weekends: My weekends are generally completely open for full-day sitting, longer walks, and plenty of quality time. Because keeping your dog’s routine consistent is my top priority, we’ll coordinate schedules ahead of time so your pet gets all the attention, exercise, and care they need. When caring for pets in your home, safety, security, and consistent routines are my absolute priorities. As a lifelong dog parent who currently cares for a 13-year-old hound, I understand how crucial it is to treat both your pet and your home with complete respect. During stays or visits, I strictly follow your specific instructions for feeding, walking, leash protocols, and house rules. I make sure doors and gates are double-checked, secure your home whenever I step out, and keep your space clean and tidy. I am comfortable managing medications, adhering to crate routines, handling big-breed energy, or accommodating senior dogs who need a gentler pace. Plus, you will receive regular photo updates and check-ins so you have total peace of mind while away.

Julia has a kind, gentle and fun way with animals. She has worked with a wide variety of animals. Prior to her initial visit, Julia was easy to communicate with regarding my wishes and concerns. During her visit with my 4 year old Portuguese Water Dog, she exceeded my expectations. She has a great attention to details. My dog was all smiles in the pics from her visit and seemed less needy than usual for my attention when I returned home from work that day. I have booked Julia for regular future visits and would highly recommend her to other pet parents!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Whitman

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Whitman is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $31 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 10,022 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Whitman. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Whitman. On Rover:

  • 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 89% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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.

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.
