“Tatjana was so wonderful with my dog and 20 year old kitty. . They fell in love with her right away. She stayed at my home to take care of them and took such good care of them as well as treated my home with such care and respect. I feel so blessed to have met her and will always call her first to take care of my fur babies!”
“Our pup was so comfy with Megan. He normally is so anxious and loses his appetite when we go on trips, and that wasn’t an issue at all with Megan! He was so taken care of and comfortable. The constant updates of pictures of walks and his normal routine made us feel at ease. She’s the best. Would 100% recommend her.”
“Jess was incredible. Our dog loved her, she gave consistent updates on his well being and navigated when our pup felt a little off. Amazing communication, incredibly clean and thoughtful. If I could give 6 stars I would!”
“She is kind and friendly and was wonderful with my very anxious dog. She adhered to my instructions and actually gave me a few great tips for Lola. I appreciated her immensely.”

About: Hello! My name is Marina. I am a student at Sierra College and also work part time. I am 19 and have my own car and stay at the house to keep the pets company. I have many references if you would like. I have pet sit for dogs, cats, cattle, horses, goats, and poultry. I have a dog of my own as well as 3 cats. I am great with animals and have been doing this for many years. I raised cattle through 4H so I have great skills of responsibility and animal care. I take pride in being honest with my clients about what I’m doing and what I have going on. The most dogs that I have pet sat for at one time was 13 dogs. I do well working to keep the pets’ normal routine, especially with senior pets. I’m a second year college student going to community college. I also work part time. My shifts at work usually range between 4-6 hours and my classes only have me leaving the house around 4-5 hours. I only have class on Tuesday evenings. I am a very busy person so I am unfortunately not able to stay at the house 24/7. I stay at the client’s house with the animals so that I am able to stick as close to their original routine as well as not having to leave them alone all night long. I always do my best to leave the house just as I found it. I always love coming home to a clean house after a trip so I always do what I can to make sure I do the same for my clients.
“Stephanie took excellent care of my 16 year old Molly. She sent me messages and pictures every day about how Molly was doing. Stephanie was respectful of my home and neighbors. Prior to leaving she made sure Molly was placed in the den with plenty of food and water until I got home. Upon my return the house was spotless with clean sheets on the bed and freshly washed towels. Stephanie did an excellent job and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible dog sitter. Thank you Stephanie for the great care you showed Molly.”
“Rima was amazing! She took really great care of our fur baby and our house. We never really leave our dog alone or with anyone else that’s why I was a little worried how she’s going to be. Also, our dog sometimes gets anxious around new people, but Rima was super sweet and our fur baby bonded with her really quick, which gave me a piece of mind for leaving her in a caring hands.”
“Shannon truly loves doggies! I have 3 seniors, who each have their own set of medical issues… collapsing trachea, epilepsy, arthritis, allergies, severe separation anxiety just to name a few… so I agonize over having to leave them. Shannon made this recent trip so much easier. She loved each one how they wanted, as they are so very different… She walked the one that liked walking, rubbed the belly of the one who can’t walk anymore and gave the mamma’s boy, who is not overly fond of others, his space and loved him on his terms when he was ready. I received lots of photos and videos, which was so reassuring to know they were happy and well taken care of. Shannon kept me informed along the way with both the ups and downs, which was very much appreciated. She did not give up when my seizure baby would not take his medication and tried every trick in the book including running out to the store for some new temptations… I know it can be frustrating and also stressful knowing without the medication, he will have a seizure but Shannon loved him on his terms and kept trying until it all fell into place. Having Shannon for this trip was a game changer for sure and I am so thankful for her!”
“We have never had anyone stay at our house with our animals before, so the idea of leaving them with a complete stranger was very daunting. Sydney was absolutely wonderful with our two big, rambunctious dogs (2 year old huskies) and four cats. Our house was exactly as we left it and she sent lots of updates so we could see everyone’s sweet faces and how much fun they were having without us! She was terrific about updating us when she got here and letting us know how everything was going. She was always very responsive through the whole process, and it was very clear our animals were all comfortable and enjoying their normal routine with her. We will absolutely have Sydney back, and I would 100% recommend her to anyone!”
About: I've spent a lifetime caring for animals and share my home with four cats and three dogs. I also care for and feed homeless pets in my community. From senior pet support and medication administration to gentle, attentive companionship, I provide personalized care tailored to each pet's needs. Whether shy, spirited, or full of personality, every pet is treated like family, with their comfort, happiness, and well-being always coming first. I work remotely, which allows me to care for pets throughout the day with constant attention and flexibility. I’m home and available for feeding, walks, playtime, medications, senior‑pet support, and comforting anxious animals. My schedule revolves around keeping pets safe, happy, and cared for from morning to night. I keep a calm, secure environment by supervising pets closely, maintaining clean spaces, and following each pet’s routine exactly. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I ensure doors and gates stay secure, feeding and potty areas stay sanitized, and every pet feels protected and understood. I watch for stress signals, handle medications carefully, and prioritize each animal’s comfort and well‑being.
“Lez did a wonderful job cat and house sitting while we were out of town for the week. There was easy communication via text while we were away. Our senior cat enjoyed her company and care. We returned to a well kept home and we wouldn’t hesitate to use Lez’s services again.”
“Lacee was everything we were looking for in a house sitter and a dog sitter. She is reliable, responsible, and a proactive communicator. She took great care of our 3 active dogs and kept us informed. I highly recommend her and will use her services again.”
About: I've always loved dogs, and want the chance to get to know yours as well! I myself have a very energetic miniature aussie, as well as experience pet sitting a wide variety of dogs. I grew up with a Shetland sheepdog, and have experience with dogs as small as 15-20 lbs, and as large as 101+ lbs. I have no qualms about dog breeds either, with all members of my family and friends having a healthy mix of dogs across the spectrum of size, breeds, and personalities. If your dog wants to cuddle and be pet, or go out and play endless fetch, I'm all about it. Or, I'm more than happy to stay in the house to give them some company. Totally up to you, and them! I'm a stay at home mom with lots of hobbies and the occasional tutoring session, so I have quite a bit of availability. Most of my availability is after my husband gets home from work, so I can give your pet the focus and love it deserves while my daughter stays home. I also have quite a bit of availability over the weekend to stop in and say hi. All of this being said, I'm flexible, and would love the opportunity to talk with you to see if we can work together for a solution that gets your pet the care and attention they need. I am happy to care for your pets in your home. I will arrive on time and consistently. More than anything, I will always communicate with you to let you know how everything went, and I'm happy to send pictures as well.
About: I have had experience in dog sitting and walking puppies! I have always wanted a dog but just do not have the room for it at home so pet sitting for friends has always been something I have loved doing! Currently, I am working part-time and I am a college student. However, my shifts are never longer than 4 hours. My services are available all week! I make sure to care for pets with as much love as I can! Seeing a stranger come into your home can be daunting so I try to be as graceful as possible when meeting and interacting with the clients pets!
“Brandie did and amazing job of watching our four big dogs. The had some special medical needs that she accomadated and we got photos plus great communication. We will definitely be using her again.”
“Johnna house-sat for us while we were away at a memorial service in Los Angeles, and she took care of both our cat and dog, and our house. She was fabulous. She went above and beyond, as usual. It is lovely to have someone so trustworthy take care of our home while we are away. I cannot recommend her highly enough.”
About: I have been around all different types of animals my whole life. I have bottle feed newborn puppies and nursed them to adults. I also have a senior dog myself whom is my best friend. Getting to work with a different variety of animals is what I think sets me apart. Hello everyone! Currently I am in nursing school which is online and I am free most days to take care of you furry babies! I am on rover to be able to work and still have time to focus on school!

They are walked and played with daily, and are feed twice a day. For a clients home I will follow every request the client has for there pet without question.
About: I’ve been working with animals since I was young. I started by working at local animal shelters and now offer more personalized animal care! I’ve fostered and worked with all kinds of animals of all sizes, ages, and needs! I am a student which allows my schedule to be super flexible. I work within your schedule to guarantee the most convenient care for your pet! I do not own any pets myself so there’s no issues with other animals when your pet is in my care.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Whitney
Erin did a wonderful job caring for our Goldendoodle and Rat Terrier. She arrived on time for our meet and greet, took the time to go over everything our dogs needed, and was knowledgeable and respectful throughout. We came home to two very happy dogs and would happily recommend her!
Second time having Sadie watch our dog while we were out of town and again we couldn’t be happier. She took wonderful care of our older anxious little dog and we came home to a happy guy. She also took great care of our home. We are so fortunate to have found Sadie She really is the best!
I knew the minute I met Ellen she loved animals and that she would take great care of my senior dog. She provided excellent care, followed instructions and gave me detailed updates which I very much appreciated considering she has an infection. She stayed in my home and was very considerate of the space.
Our pup was so comfy with Megan. He normally is so anxious and loses his appetite when we go on trips, and that wasn’t an issue at all with Megan! He was so taken care of and comfortable. The constant updates of pictures of walks and his normal routine made us feel at ease. She’s the best. Would 100% recommend her.
Keira is exceptional! She took such good care of my crew - a very sweet and sassy 4-year-old Golden and two cats - one of whom is very old but a determined girl! She was thoughtful in her care and reached out when she had any questions or concerns. I highly recommend Kiera!!!!
Hailey did an amazing job of taking care of my cat during a holiday weekend. She was great at communicating with me throughout the booking process and the stay. She sent a good amount of updates and pictures and my cat warmed up to her pretty quickly. I’m always a little nervous about leaving her, but Hailey gave me confidence that she was in good hands!
After our prior sitter cancelled, we were a bit worried about finding a new sitter for our week-long trip. But, from the start, River was great. She bonded quickly with the dogs at the meet and greet and asked a bunch of questions to familiarize herself with their routine and our needs. Throughout her stay, she updated us with photos, asked questions as needed, and overall communicated timely and thoughtfully. We arrived home to a tidy home and well-cared for pets. Thanks, River!
Belinda watched our dog, Winston, for a week and she did a great job. He's a bit anxious and we appreciated how thoughtful and kind she was to him that week. She did a great job to make things as stress-free as possible for him and us! She was super communicative throughout the week with updates which we really appeciated. I will definitely be requesting her services again the next time we go away.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Whitney is $59 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $104 per night. 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.

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 Whitney 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 Whitney 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 Whitney 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Whitney. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
