About: My name is Dan Mulderick my wife and I just recently moved to the Lincoln area. We both love dogs and are very passionate about animals. Ever since I was a child my family has owned golden retrievers and I have loved the amount of loyalty you receive from our furry best friends. I've noticed that animals have been drawn to me at an early age and it would be my pleasure to take such great care of your best friend while your at work, vacation, etc. worried free. I work from home and able to relax with your pup. On the weekends I am pretty flexible. I’ll make sure they get plenty of water, potty breaks and plenty of attention. As mentioned I work from home and a fenced backyard. I can play in the backyard on my breaks. If your pup is a lap dock they are more than welcome to relax while I work, or just relax in my office with me.

“Sadie is the best! My dog is the happiest I’ve seen her when I get home she’s calm, I can tell she’s just been relaxing instead of stressing that I’m gone and that’s because she’s been loved and cared for. 🥰🐾 Plus, we leave each other notes and it’s very endearing to see “welcome home!” for someone who lives alone. Thank you, Sadie! 🙏❤️”

She is loving and gentle and made friends with my cat at first meeting before I even left, I was able to enjoy my visit with my sons family knowing Kiki would be getting some loving and company while I was gone. Can’t say enough good things about Linda and your service.”

About: I was always in touch with dogs since early age, at my parents house. Nowadays I have one cat , Jojo. She is 8 years old and it is my baby. Jojo appeared at my apartment someday and when taken to to the vet I found out that she was a street cat and was beat really hard by another animal. I took care of her and could never live without her anymore. Besides loving them with all of my heart, my pets safety was always my priority and I take it really serious when taking care of these babies. Currently I work from home so I am lucky to have a lot of time to play with Jojo and be close to her on a daily basis. So if you are at work, traveling or for some reason need any assistance with your pet, I will be glad to be help! I am pretty flexible as I stay at home, so I am sure we can make all the arrangements to accommodate your pet when you need it the most! I live in an apartment and don’t have a backyard. We just have a small patio we like to take our pet pretty much everyday for some time. We live near to parks as well. At home now we just have our kitten, Jojo.

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.

About: Animals have pretty much always been a part of my life! I grew up always having an animal in the home, and most people who know me jokingly describe my house as a zoo. Currently, I have one dog, two cats, and a fish tank, so caring for animals is genuinely just part of my everyday life. I also spent two years working at Petco, where I got hands-on experience with all kinds of animals, including reptiles, birds, fish, and small animals. I know every pet has their own personality, quirks, and routine, and I love getting to know what makes each one special. Whether your pet has fur, feathers, fins, or scales, I’ll make sure they get plenty of care, attention, and love while you’re away! 🐾 I’m currently working as a substitute teacher so I can come by before school and after school so think anytime before 7:30 and after 3pm. I also babysit part time so my scheudle can be a little busy. I’m happy to work with you to figure out a schedule that works best for you and your family. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my top priority. I’ll follow their normal routines closely, pay attention to their individual needs, and make sure they’re in a safe and secure environment at all times. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, so I’ll care for them with the same patience, attention, and love that I give my own animals. 🐾❤️

About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was 16 years old. I love to play with them, walk them, and cuddle them. I also bathe them if requested, always on time with feeding schedules and walks, if it is an overnight stay I clean as well. Family members and friends have put all their trust in me and I never let them down. Along with pet sitting I clean, do laundry, water plants, get the mail everyday, and make sure to take the trashes to the curb. I look forward to taking care of your animals:) I currently have a part time job where my schedule can sometimes be all over the place. Typically I work evenings. But when scheduling with me we can figure out what works best. I am not accepting pets into my home as my animal is scared of others but will gladly come to your house. Typically I do anything that is listed by the owner. A list of items I do are feed, change water, pick up poop, walk the dogs, play with them, give them their medicine and/or treats, and bathe if requested.

“We had an absolutely wonderful experience with our cat sitter Caitlin and couldn’t be happier with the care she provided. She did drop‑in visits for over a week and was incredibly easy to communicate with from start to finish. She truly went above and beyond in every way. After each visit, she sent many photos of our cat, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She also left detailed, thoughtful updates every day, explaining exactly what she did during the visit and how our cat was doing overall. It was clear she genuinely cared and paid close attention to our cat’s needs and well‑being. Knowing our cat was in such capable, attentive, and loving hands made our time away completely stress‑free. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, communicative, and exceptional sitter. We would absolutely book with her again.”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 10 years old, helping family, friends, and neighbors with feeding, fresh water, playtime, walks, potty breaks, check-ins, and keeping them company. I’m comfortable helping with daily routines such as giving treats, cleaning up after pets, providing exercise, playing fetch, giving them attention and affection, and making sure they are comfortable and safe in their home. I understand that every dog has their own personality, energy level, routine, and needs, and I take the time to learn what makes each pet feel comfortable and secure. I’m patient, responsible, attentive, and able to recognize when a dog may need space, extra attention, or reassurance. I’m currently a part-time college student looking for a part-time position that fits around my class schedule. My schedule is flexible, allowing me to balance school, work, and pet-care responsibilities. I’m available to provide pet sitting, dog walking, drop-in visits, and other pet-care services around my school and work commitments. I’m happy to communicate with pet parents in advance to discuss their pets’ routines, needs, and preferences to ensure I provide reliable, consistent, and loving care. I’m committed to treating every pet with patience, kindness, and the same love and attention I would give my own. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I have a safe and caring environment where pets can feel comfortable and secure. I take pet safety seriously and always follow their normal routines, feeding instructions, medication directions, and exercise needs. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, and supervision while making sure each pet feels comfortable and cared for. I’m also respectful of clients’ homes and will treat their pets and belongings with the same care I would want for my own.

About: I have experience with puppies, beginner obedience training and potty training. Senior dog care, special needs, surgery or vet procedure recovery and care. Active dogs that need lots of engagement and exercise or dogs that just want to hang out and cuddle. I work primarily from home, have a safe and fenced yard. Our home is open with lots to explore or we can provide a safe, quiet space if your pet needs that. I have a safe, fenced yard they can run around in or if they would rather hang out with me, sit in my lap, lay in my bed. I walk multiple times a day and have nature and walking trails around my home. I have a quiet room if your pet needs quiet space or they can run around the house and explore and play with my kids (10 and 12) and hang out with my family.

About: I love all animals and know the importance of their wellbeing, especially when their owners are gone. I consider myself to be responsible, trustworthy, caring and very gentle with animals. I’ve had a dog of my own for almost a decade now and got trained as a Habitat Hero dog volunteer at the Placer SPCA. I try my best to read the dog’s body language and assess its needs so that they are happy, comfortable and healthy. I work from home in Roseville so I am very flexible with my availability throughout the week. I have no problem driving to my client’s home and watching the pets during or after work hours. I would like to dog sit once or twice a week, depending on the needs of my client. I care for pets in my client’s home by learning about the home structure and what areas the pets are allowed in and not allowed in. I will care for the pets based off of my client’s needs, but ultimately I am very attentive to the pets and ensure they eat during their meal times, have adequate water, go on bathroom breaks, and have enough play/cuddle time!

Ashlyn suggested a meet and greet which was a great idea. It helped us both decide if this was a good job match. Our dogs are big, sniff strangers and jump up to greet without our dogs realizing how big they are. I was relieved when Ashlyn was not intimidated by Bubba and Duke. Our family received daily updates with a picture. Our mind was at ease the whole time while out of town. Ashlyn was prompt, detail oriented, and caring toward our sometimes challenging dogs. Our family was at ease

Madeline was an amazing sitter for our two cats! She was reliable, communicative, and followed all of our instructions perfectly. One of our cats requires medication, and she handled that with care and confidence, which gave us great peace of mind. She also went above and beyond by spending time outside with our cats so they could safely enjoy their courtyard time—something they really love. It meant so much to know they were getting that extra attention while we were away. We had two very happy, well-cared-for kitties. I would absolutely book Madeline again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and thoughtful sitter!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Whitney

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Whitney is $21 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $36 per visit. 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.

As of November 2026, there are 3,917 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Whitney. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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.

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.

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.

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.
