“Ben took great care of our senior doggies! We were able to go on our vacation with peace of mind that he was giving them love and attention while we were away. Will absolutely work with him again!”
“The pups always have a good time with Maria! I appreciate the frequent updates and pictures, and Maria is always so professional and caring. Thanks for being our favorite companion to our pups 🐾”
“Alexandra did a great job housesitting and watching our boys. She sent pictures all that time which we loved and kept us updated on the boys throughout the days. We will definitely rebook with her soon!!”
“Piper was lovely to work with! Communicative, asked great questions during the home visit, and took great care of our animals and home! We would absolutely have Piper house/pet sit again!”
“We recently had Christopher stay with our two French bulldogs for 7 days, and he did a great job. It looks like he followed our guidelines; he sent just enough pictures, and when we were quiet for a few days, I reached out, and he always responded quickly. The pups seemed good when we got home. Even the mail lady said he was really nice. We would definitely invite him back.”
“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!”
“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!”
“Deanna was wonderful!!! Couldn’t recommend her enough. We left for a week and when we got home our dogs were happy as can be, that tells me everything I need to know :) we were sent lots of pictures and they seemed to really enjoy themselves. Would definitely book with her again!!”
“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.”
About: I’ve cared for animals my whole life, dogs, cats, small pets and I’m known for being calm, patient, and detail-oriented. I specialize in in-home care so your pet stays relaxed in their familiar space. I’m comfortable with seniors, puppies, and anxious or shy pets, and I follow your routines exactly (feeding, meds, potty schedule, exercise). My schedule allows me plenty of time for quality pet care! I’m available most mornings and evenings. I do work part time and have my kids week on week off so between work and kids I make time for pet walks and pet care when I have my kids. When I don't have my kids, I have more available hours and can-do house sitting locally in the placer county area. I take caring for pets in their own home very seriously and always treat your space with respect. I follow your routines exactly ~ meals, walks, meds, and bedtime ~ so your pets feel calm and secure while you’re away. I keep everything tidy, lock up carefully, and provide regular photo updates so you can relax knowing your home and pets are safe and well cared for. My goal is to make your time away completely worry-free.
“Our two pups loved Morgan! We are so happy we found her, she took amazing care of our home as well as our dogs. We loved the pictures she sent and how often she checked in with us. Best pet care we have had in a long time. We look forward to having her again soon 💕”
“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.”
About: I have worked with and trained dogs since I was 12 years old. I have particular experience with German Shepherds, Pitbull mixes, Border Collie, Australian Shepherds, Labradors, and Rottweilers. I have worked with puppies, senior dogs and lots of dogs with behavioral and aggression issues. I have worked with super high energy dogs such as Huskies, Border Collies , and calmer bigger breeds, like Cane Corsos and mastiffs. I am currently just in school so my schedule is pretty open so I can pet sit on weekdays weekends mornings and nights and I am available to do quick drop ins, dog walks , and overnight stays. I cannot board dogs or cats at my own house but I can board reptiles. Since I have several animals of my own, I would be caring for animals in other people’s homes I can do overnight stays,I can do drop ins, I can do dog walks, and I can also drop by and clean litter or anything you really need. I also have lots of experience with different reptiles so reach out to me if you have questions regarding reptile care/boarding.
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.
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.
“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 taken care of dogs and cats my whole life. I grew up with Golden Retrievers and Labs (dogs aged from 1 month old - 14 years old), many house cats and spent years volunteering as a foster parent at a local kitten rescue (cats aged 1 day - 2 months). Family, friends, and neighbors have relied on me to check in with their pets, feed them, stay overnight, exercise their dogs (walk/play in backyard), and administer medication when needed. I am recently graduated from College and have full availability! I am open any day of the week to spend some time with your furry loved ones. I am very comfortable walking your dogs, playing with them in the backyard, crating them, administering medication, etc. I am also very comfortable working with cats, feeding, playing, medicating, etc.
“We’re very picky about who we leave Louis with and Kristiana was wonderful. She kept in contact as we asked and couldn’t have been better for our little guy. Highly recommend her. Easily five stars.”

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.
Allie was a wonderful pet/house sitter! She let us know her schedule, and sent lots of photos which really helped us while being away from the babies. Our dogs have separation anxiety and Allie handled it well, making sure to keep their health in check and give them the needed company. Allie is also great with reptiles if you're looking for someone to check in on your scaley friends! We have a leopard gecko that she handled and fed while we were away, and ensured he had water. Overall I would book her again and would recommend her for your own fur/scale babies.
I was so nervous about leaving our rescue pup with someone we didn’t know, but Helen immediately put both me and our pup at ease. From the very beginning, her gentle, personable nature, genuine love of animals, and incredible rapport with our dog made it clear that she truly cares about the pets in her care. Helen was incredibly professional, thoughtful, and considerate of all of our needs and preferences. She took the time to understand our pup’s personality and routines, and I felt completely confident knowing she was in such caring and capable hands. It’s not easy to leave your fur baby with someone else, especially when they’re a rescue, but Helen gave us something invaluable: peace of mind. We came home to a happy, well cared for pup, and it was obvious that she had received plenty of love and attention while we were away. We couldn’t be happier with Helen and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can genuinely trust with their beloved pet. We will definitely be using her again!
Just returned home from a five day trip and couldn’t be happier with the care Sadie gave to our pet. Our dog is older, nervous, and gets separation anxiety, but we came home to a very happy guy. She sent pictures throughout our trip and he seemed very attached to her. She also took wonderful care of our home. This is the first time I’ve used Rover and we feel very fortunate to have found Sadie. We would love to have her care for our dog again!
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!!!!
This was our first time using Rover and obviously our first experience with Fallon. She came for the meet and greet in a timely manner and was eager to listen to instructions and friendly. We were only gone for a day but she took great care of our two large dogs during that time. She was flexible with her time and accommodating. We would definitely use her again! Thanks!
Matt is obviously an experienced house and dog sitter. Even when he met our dog, he was clearly a "dog whisperer," because our wild and crazy dog immediately lay down for pets and calmed down. Matt has sent us dog pix each day. He's really chill, and seems very reliable. 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!
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Whitney on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 2,619 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.
