“Mace is an absolute godsend! Suga was diagnosed with diabetes 4 days before we were due to leave on a week long vacation. Twice a day shots added to an already extensive medication routine and Mace handled it all with no problems including a vet visit for a glucose curve test! Mace came out several times before we left to make sure Suga was comfortable with him and so he could watch the feeding/medication process. Kept us well-informed on Suga each day and took great care of the house and plants. We and Suga couldn’t have been happier and we all highly recommend Mace!”

“Brittany is awesome! She is incredibly reliable and was very good with both of my dogs. I had asked her at the last minute a while back to stay with my younger dog while I took my senior lady to the very and she was able to come by. She showed up with a notepad and she asked me a bunch of questions about both dogs’ care and was very attentive to all of the details. I just had her take care of my senior dog while I was out of town for a couple days and my young dog was boarding at his daycare and she was incredibly thorough with making sure she knew all of Annie’s needs and she reliably stopped in at all of Annie’s out times. I would definitely recommend her and will be booking her again!”

Building trust with both you and your pet is my top priority, so you can rest assured knowing they’ll be treated with the same love and respect as my own.

About: Hey there! My name is Rachel and I live with my husband, our 2 daughters, 3 doggies and 2 kitties. I have many years of experience with dogs because my family growing up has always had a house (and yard) full of them. I have also offered dog-sitting to neighbors and friends/family in the past. The more wagging tails the merrier! I would be happy to offer any home visits to check on your fur babies to walk, feed or even play with them. I will also offer in-home boarding to dogs of all sizes as long as they are not aggressive since I do have other animals and children. We have a fenced backyard and live on more than 70 acres of land where I can offer leashed walks and potty breaks. Please let me know if you have any questions and I look forward to meeting your little loves! <3 I am currently a full-time stay at home mom so I have plenty of time to spend with your doggies. I'm available most major holidays, weekdays and weekends. I allow the dogs that I may be boarding inside the house, and would stick to a strict potty/feeding schedule depending on each owner and pet. I believe every dog has their own personality, much like people, and need to be tended to differently.

About: ’ve loved and cared for animals for as long as I can remember. From working in an animal shelter to fostering dogs and helping care for newborn puppies, animals have always been a big part of my life. I have hands-on experience with puppies, senior pets, sick animals, rescues, and pets that need medication or extra attention. I know how important it is to have someone patient, dependable, and loving caring for your pets while you’re away, and I take that responsibility seriously. Every pet deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and loved, and I’ll always care for yours like they’re part of my own family. As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets plenty of attention, love, and care throughout the day. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, and I’m able to provide consistent companionship, playtime, potty breaks, cuddles, and attentive care based on each pet’s individual needs. We have a fenced in yard with lots of room for dogs to safely run and play. Our home backs up to little league fields, so there can occasionally be some noise and activity, but it also creates a fun, lively environment that many dogs enjoy. In our home, pets are family. Our dogs are spoiled with love, cuddles, couch time, and plenty of attention, and I’ll treat your pets with that same level of care and affection while they’re with me. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I’ll always do my best to keep their routine as normal and stress free as possible. I know how important it is to feel comfortable trusting someone with both your pets and your home, and I take that responsibility very seriously.

FAQs for House Sitting - Whitman
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 391 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Whitman. 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 Whitman 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 Whitman 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 Whitman 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.
