“My dog loves visits with Lez D. I know she is in excellent and kind hands. Lez D goes on walks, gives cuddles and plays with my pup. It eases my mind when I have to go out of town. Thank you so much.”
“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.”
“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!”
“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!”
“Carla was amazing with watching our dog and house for multiple nights. She sent updates/photos and made us feel comfortable while being alone from our fur baby. We will be booking again!”
“It was great to find Montana when our plans changed last minute. He did great with our two spoiled dogs. He kept us informed with how our dogs were doing . We receiving pictures of our babies.”
“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 have taken care of family friends cats and dogs while they were out of town since I was 8 years old. Growing up I had bunnies and a golden retriever dog. I have over 13 years experience in cats. I have two cats of my own: a senior & a young adult. I have a flexible schedule to visit your fur babies throughout the day to accommodate your schedule as well as keep them company. Can send cat/dog selfie updates while you are away if you would like. I have two cats in my household that don’t do well with other animals. I’m more comfortable staying overnight at your house and treat your home as your sanctuary.
About: Calm, nurturing sitter with strong intuition for dogs’ needs. Experienced with puppies, seniors, and anxious pets. I create a safe, loving, structured environment every time. I am currently a homeschooling mom to two kids (6 and 8 years old). Our schedule can be pretty flexible if I have adequate time to plan. n my home, pets are part of our family: safe, supervised, and loved. I have two gentle kids (6 & 8), a loving grandma, a yard for play (no potty), and provide regular walks for potty breaks. In clients’ homes, I follow routines closely, keeping pets comfortable, secure, and cared for with consistency and attention.
“Xingyi was fabulous with the girls. She sent lots of pictures and updates and we came back to ragdolls with no knots! The house was as clean as we left it! I would definitely recommend and will use her again. Truly appreciate a good, reliable sitter that allows us to enjoy our vacation without worrying about the cats. Thanks Xingyi!”
“Helen took such good care of our dog and our house while we were on a 2 week vacation. We had never been away from our boy for that long and we wanted someone who would love on him as much as we do. We definitely found the right person with Helen! She took him to parks, snuggled with him on the couch, and even bought him some new toys. The regular photos and updates she sent put our minds and hearts at ease so we could truly enjoy our vacation. And our house was spotless and vegetable garden thriving when we returned. We are so grateful for Helen and will definitely book her again. She is the BEST!”
“Bryce was a great dog/house sitter. Chai and Sassy were well cared for and he walked them daily. He also gave Sassy extra walks to burn off some of her energy. We appreciated the daily updates (photos) showing their well being. The dogs seemed contented when we returned home. Bryce arrived on time and kept our house neat and clean. We would definitely hire him again.”
About: I’ve owned cats for a few years and have dog sat for family, friends, and neighbors, giving me a good understanding of different pet personalities and needs. What sets me apart is my patient and caring approach—I’m comfortable with playful puppies as well as senior pets who need extra attention. I treat every pet like family, making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily and weekly schedule. I’m flexible and can dedicate focused time for walks, play, and feeding. Whether it’s regular visits during the day or overnight stays, I prioritize consistency and attention to keep pets comfortable and happy. I’m reliable and available to adjust to your pet’s unique routine as needed. When caring for pets, whether in my home or yours, their safety and comfort are my top priorities. I create a calm, clean, and secure environment where pets feel relaxed and loved. I follow all instructions carefully—from feeding schedules to medication—and keep a close eye on their behavior and needs. I’m respectful of your home and ensure everything stays tidy and safe. Building trust with both pets and their owners is important to me, and I’m always available to provide updates and communicate openly.
“Alexis is fantastic! Immediately I noticed she had a nice peaceful energy, which is really important for my nervous girl. She gave me unprompted morning and evening updates with pictures, and never once did I worry or wonder how things were going. My home was also just as clean as I’d left it when I returned. Will absolutely be booking with her again, and for the long run! Thank you Alexis, Ms. Millie was so happy spending time with you! <3”
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!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Whitney
Helen stayed with my senior boxer for a week while we were in Hawaii 💖 she is the absolute best! My girl was cared for loved and happy! Pink, decided to stop eating, then got diarrhoea and puked 🙄 all in Helen’s care…and mostly because she’s so attached to me. Helen readjusted her food and loved her back to healthy, happy and relaxed. Plus she was in constant contact with me and sent pictures. Our house was in perfect order, Pink was taken care of, more than I could have hoped for. Highly recommend 🌺
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!

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.
Karyna was requested last minute to care for our dog and was able to accommodate our needs. She is very responsive and communicative while sitting. We were so pleased with her excellent care she took care of our dog making being away from home so much easier for me. We will definitely be booking her again in the near future.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Whitney on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 2,649 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Whitney. 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 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 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.

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.
