“Jillissa was amazing with my girls! She followed instructions perfectly and provided adorable photos that helped ease my mind while I was away. She took them on last minute and took very good care of them. I would absolutely recommend her services to anyone in the area!”
“Naomi is fantastic. Knowing she is there for Woody while we are away gives me peace of mind. She is organized, has great attention to detail and excellent communication. Thank you Naomi!!!”
About: I have about 3 years of experience taking care of other people’s dogs, I also have a dog of my own that I absolutely adore and have had dogs since I was born! I love dogs and with me going to college I won’t be able to see my pup as frequently so I would love to be able to see your dogs instead! I am currently a full-time college student and I work part-time, I’m looking for some dog time to take my mind off my hectic college life. I’m available all days of the week due to my school and work schedules I may not be able to spend the full day with your dogs. I do want to mention, I work another job I work during the week and some weekends with not typical hours (3p-11p) if I have to work on a day you request me I will always be sure to take care of your pets right before I leave for work and again right when I return from work. Typically pets get fed around dinner time and I’m sure that’s the case for you! No worries we have options, typically I offer to feed them all of their dinner right before I leave for work, give them half their food right before I leave for work and the other half when I return or feed them all their dinner when I get back from work, I will follow which ever of those options you would prefer. During the week I have class Monday - Friday, I will be sure to take care of your dog before and after class. As I am living with my grandmother I will not be able to offer in home care but I am more than willing to watch your dogs at your house and will do whatever you need or want me to do with your pet(s)! I have it listed that I don’t stay over night at the house but I definitely can upon request.
“Came to take our dogs out when we were away at a concert. Played with them outside made sure to put our key back and open up our bedroom door so our dogs could lay on our bed. Awesome pet sitter. Would recommend him highly”
About: HELLO! I have been taking care of all kinds of dogs from pups to senior pets who have special needs. I have done stuff like this ever since I was in middle school. I am very flexible with my time. I do have a cat allergy but that won’t stop me from that either! I’m always here to help you’re best friend 😊 Im very flexible with my schedule for a couple months! I can do early mornings to late nights. I’m always able to help with anything! I’m very detail oriented and need straightforward instructions in order to properly care for a pet. The more straightforward the instructions the better! I treat any pet as if they were my own. Maybe a chance to spoil with my special frozen pet friendly watermelon slush for the hot summer days? Or a little trip to get a pup cup? My dogs are spoiled and I miss them so much so this would be a win-win for the both of us 🤣
About: I graduated college as a Veterinary Technician and I currently work at a vet clinic that deals with dogs, cats, and all exotic and caged pets! So I have the medical knowledge to keep your pet safe and the passionate heart to keep them happy! I love going for runs, walks, hikes, or also just cuddling and watching Netflix and giving scratches. I have an extra soft spot for senior pets that might need some special care or just a warm lap to know that someone is there for them. (Especially if they can’t see or hear) I’m a very calm and patient person. I’ve worked with the smallest teacup breeds to the 250+ pound, slobbery giant breeds. I’d love to treat your pet as my own!
About: I have owned dogs for over 50 yrs and love working w them and creating a safe space for them to explore. Welcome to my home! I currently work part time as a nurse and will have lots of time to spend supervising your furbabies in my yard. I will treat them as if they are my own and keep them safe. I have a large fenced in yard and doggy door to lead into it. I have a little friendly dog that loves other dogs and be happy to play. I have plenty of time to supervise your pups and exercise them in a fenced in space.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 217 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:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 92% 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.
