“Tanya watched my two Alaskan Klee Kais while I had to attend an event for a couple of hours. I reached out to her on a short notice but she agreed to watch them while I was out. She sent lots of photos and gave me updates throughout the day, which I greatly appreciated! Both of my dogs have separation anxiety and I could tell they both felt safe, loved, and at ease under Tanya’s care. She made sure to let them out in the backyard frequently to do their business and gave them lots of pets and attention. By the end of the stay, my timid dog had became friends with her. I definitely look forward to booking with Tanya again in the near future!”
“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.”
“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.”
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’ve taken care of dogs & cats before for friends and family, I also take care of my own! They’re my whole world! Your fur babies are my top priority I currently work at Sutter Health 4-5 days a week, I am able to care for your fur babies before & after work. I’m almost always available weekends 24/7! I will always make sure there are no windows / doors open or unlocked so your pets cannot get out. Along with making sure no food is accessible for them to get into easily.
“When one our regular sitters had to cancel, Morgan came in to save the day! She was communicative, reassuring when we were missing our pubs and above all - treated them like her own dogs. She has a natural gift with animals and it truly showed. She handled our difficult old man pup so well, and judging by the pictures she sent, he adored her - which is unlike him. We have already booked with Morgan again, she’s such a trustworthy person to have watch your fur babies!”
About: I’ve been a dog owner all of my adult life. My kids are grown and my two dogs crossed the rainbow bridge. I have lots of love to give your babies while you are away! I work full time. I’m available to take care of your pets by 5pm and all day on my days off. I am a nurse and have a rotating schedule including every other weekend. I’m available to stay at your home with your pets are welcome to stay at my apartment. I’m also available for short days, drop ins, or simply a walk.
“Brandie is absolutely incredible. We have two cats and a little dog, all boys. Our dog has a lot of anxiety and struggles with new people. Within the first few hours he warmed right up to Brandie. All three boys looked so content and happy all week. Brandie was very communicative and always responded immediately. She did everything we requested and more. Went above and beyond in taking care of the house and our boys. We are so grateful to Brandie and cannot recommend her enough. She will absolutely be sitting for us again. We cannot wait to have her back and neither can Neil, Migi, & Buster! ❤️”
About: Despite not having a pet currently, as much as I would love to have another companion, I have cared for fur babies of my own, cats and dogs alike in the past showering them with all the love. So in the meantime, until I'm ready to have a pet again I want to help take care of others' beloved pets and I am determined and driven to deliver the best results. My biggest strength is that I will always be willing to learn, grown and find ways to improve my skills to do whatever it takes to give your furry friend what they need to be happy, healthy, and safe. In addition, I volunteered at the Placer SPCA during high school (I just graduated college recently) and cared for the dogs at the shelter with my whole heart, played with them and gave them happiness they deserve. I was away and not offering services through rover for a bit while I was finishing up my last year of college. However, as of this moment, following my recent graduation from college I have remained relatively free so I have availabilities throughout the week apart from any other daily responsibilities and I would love to help you out and care for your pups and kitties in your absence(s). I make sure my pet is well fed accordingly to the amount that is suitable to them at the time they are meant to be fed. I make sure to be gentle and encouraging but not forceful. Pets require a good level of enrichment whether that's through enrichment tool or toys and of course playtime so I make sure to spend time with them to help them grow mentally and intellectually with lots of love and care. Finally, its important to keep their space clean so I pick up after them and bathe them from time to time to keep them fresh and happy.
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! Please reach out for any questions! I have grown up with different sized dogs, my first two dogs have always been inside dogs and my two big dogs have always been outside dogs. 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.
“Makenna has watched our house and dogs multiple times and I highly recommend her! The dogs love her and we know they are well taken care of. She is respectful of our home, and she cleans up after herself so well that you would never know anyone was there.”
“Hailey is great! Rocky takes awhile to warm up to new people, but Hailey was great with him and patient. Rocky also has to take seizure medication twice a day, every day and Hailey was able to give him his medication with no issues.”
“Alena took excellent care of Nilla. She gave her lots of exercise and love. She followed care directions and checked in frequently with pictures. My house was very clean when I came home. Alena did a fantastic job and Nilla was very well taken care of.”
About: I’ve always loved dogs and have had dogs most of my life. I have two dogs of my own, so I know how much they mean to their owners and how important it is to have someone you can trust with them. I’m very hands on with my dogs and enjoy taking them on walks, playing with them, spending time outside, and just hanging out with them. I’m comfortable with big dogs, high energy dogs, and dogs that just want some love and attention. I’ll treat your dog like they’re my own and make sure they’re safe, comfortable, and well taken care of. I work full-time Tuesday through Saturday from 7:00 AM to 3:30 PM, so I’m available for pet care after 3:30 PM on those days. I’m available all day Sunday and Monday. I’m pretty flexible with my schedule and will do my best to work around your needs. I can usually accommodate walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays with a little notice. I’m also happy to work out a schedule that keeps your dog comfortable and on their normal routine while you’re away. I know it can be stressful leaving your dog and your home with someone you don’t know, so I take that responsibility seriously. I’ll treat your home with respect, keep things clean and secure, and make sure your dog is safe, comfortable, and getting plenty of attention. I’m reliable, respectful, and easy to communicate with. I’ll follow your instructions and your dog’s normal routine, and I’ll keep you updated while you’re away so you know everything is going well.
“Alexis was the best! We would totally recommend and can’t wait to use her again. She was so communicative and really went above and beyond. She sent updates, followed the instructions we left, and even washed and remade the bed before leaving. Brisket loved the snuggles and daily walks.”

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.
Madeline did a great job helping with our pets. She was very communicative and sent pictures throughout her time with our two dogs. She was flexible with her schedule to fit our needs and did a great job taking care of them. I highly recommend Madeleine and will ask her to take care of our two dogs in the future.
She was so great! She truly treated our pets like they were her own and showed so much love for the care she provides. She kept our house clean and tidy, and was amazing at keeping us updated. Truly a kind soul! I would absolutely use her again in the future!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Whitney is $56 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $102 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
