“Melissa was amazing with watching our dog and took great care with both him and our house. She was very communicative and sent us daily updates with pictures. We highly recommend her and will have her watching our dog and house again shortly which we are very happy she’ll be the one caring for our dog. He’s a 13yr old 95lb Lab and set in his ways so we really wanted to keep him out home during our trip. Melissa walked him and when we came home we felt like we’d never left because he was settled and happy. As a pet owner this is the best feeling knowing you’re leaving your fur baby in the best care:). A huge thank you to Melissa!!”
“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.”
“Carla stayed with my dog and cat for a weekend while I was out of town. I was worried about leaving my girls for the first time, but Carla was fabulous! My girls were happy and well cared for, which made being away so much easier. I’d definitely book Carla again!!”
“I have always had bad anxiety whenever leaving my fur babies, but Ben made me feel SO comfortable about taking care of my kitties! He sent detailed updates every single night about the day along with handfuls of pictures! One of our kitties is also very difficult when it comes to strangers, and he handled her like a genuine cat/animal lover would: with patience and understanding. Another 5 star review for Ben, we will for sure be using him again in the future! Thank you, Ben!”
“Zair was an excellent cat sitter for my little ones. Prompt, responsive, communicative, and helped my cats feel comfortable during my time away from home. I would highly recommend her services.”
“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.”
“We came home from a week long trip to happy puppies and a well cared for home. We love how Lauren took our kids out on adventures, daily walks, And lots of playtime. We appreciate her communication, timeliness, and respectfulness of our home. Thanks for taking such great care of these doods !”

“Bryce did a great job w/ our 2 boxers. They're crazy, needy and a little too much for some people, but they didn't seem to bother him at all. We really appreciate Bryce staying at our house since our dogs can have seperation anxiety and tear things up. We also received photos daily which helped our anxiety as well. We will be using Bryce in the future! Thank you!”
“After a four day trip, we came home to a happy and well-cared-for dog, and a clean house! Matt was very communicative and send lots of pics during his stay. Happy to book with him again should the need arise.”
“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!”
“Alexa was great! Very communicative - sent photos and videos daily - and quick to respond to messages. She washed the bed sheets and kept the house and pups in good order. Would definitely book again!”
“I cannot recommend Taryn highly enough! They took exceptional care of both my home and my dogs while I was away, giving me complete peace of mind. From the start, communication was excellent, with regular updates, photos, and check-ins that showed just how well my dogs were being cared for. When I returned home, my dogs were happy, healthy, and clearly well-loved. My house was spotless and looked just as good—if not better—than when I left. It’s obvious that Taryn genuinely cares about the animals and homes they look after and goes above and beyond to provide outstanding service. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, reliable, responsible, and caring to watch your pets and home, look no further. I would absolutely use their services again and highly recommend them to anyone needing a house sitter or dog sitter.”

We are so grateful for Helen and will definitely book her again. She is the BEST!
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.
I had a wonderful experience with Lez D., and I will absolutely ask her to watch Lola again! I received lots of updates, photos, and messages while away, which gave me so much peace of mind. Lola was clearly well cared for, happy, and loved. Highly recommend!
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.

FAQs for House Sitting - Whitney
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Whitney on Rover is $55.64 per night (as of June 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 June 2026, there are 2,677 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Whitney. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
