“Meghan was awesome! Our dogs loved her and her dog Raven!! Meghan was great at communication and sent us lots of pictures of our pups. We came home to a clean house and happy dogs :) Highly recommend!”
“We always had family care for Finnian when we traveled. So allowing someone other than family house sit for our little guy, was a really big deal for us. We believe Matt S. was meant to come into our lives and become an integral part of caring for Finnian! Excellent care of both Finnian and our home was provided by Matt!! We are so very grateful for Matt!!”

“Fantastic!!! I was so worried about leaving my 2 little ones for 8 days, especially my 18 yr old 3 lb chi who requires extra care to keep her clean. Robin and Anthony (her soon to be husband), stayed overnight while we were away for and took excellent care of both of my dogs. They sent me pictures and a quick report every night which gave me peace of mind that they were in great hands! Robin and Anthony also were willing to help us out with a few unexpected problems that popped up.

About: Hi, my name is Denny! I began caring for pups on Rover at the encouragement of a good friend as a way to heal the hole left in my heart when my beloved BearBear crossed the rainbow bridge in 2022. Caring for dogs has truly become a source of comfort, joy, and purpose for me. I work from home, so your fur baby will always receive individualized love, attention, and companionship. Each guest may stay in their own private room or alongside me, depending on their comfort level and your preferences. My four-bedroom home is lovingly shared with your pet—think of it as visiting their favorite auntie, an empty nester with plenty of time, space, and affection to give. I live in a beautiful, dog-friendly neighborhood for daily walks and have a huge fenced yard for safe roaming and play. During their stay, your pet will also meet my sweet pup, Jinger (a Bichon Poodle). There may be other guests from time to time, but to avoid stress or behavioral challenges, dogs only interact if they are similar in size, well-socialized, and have compatible temperaments. Every guest receives one-on-one time for playing, walking, eating, and relaxing—without worrying about sharing toys, food, or attention. My goal is to create a calm, low-anxiety environment where your dog never feels territorial, overwhelmed, or uncertain. I also honor your preferences regarding crates. While I do have crates available, I choose not to close them. Instead, they are kept open with pillows and blankets so they feel like a comfortable “safe space,” not a form of confinement. BearBear always viewed his crate as his home—not a punishment—and that philosophy continues here. Your pet will be treated like family, surrounded by love, patience, and genuine care every step of the way. Hi! I’m fortunate to work from home, which allows me to give your fur baby plenty of attention, care, and companionship throughout the day. Lots of playtime in my yard, on the lanai, or just running around the house. Your pet will never feel bored or overlooked here!
“Excellent pet sitter for my cats. She Kept me informed daily how they were doing even sent photos. Took great care of my home while staying there. She even washed and changed the bedding before my return.”
“Greg did a fabulous job staying with our fur baby Oakley. He was punctual, professional, and communicated with us several times a day and sent pictures. We highly recommend him and have another date set for his services. 5 star rating!!!”
About: What sets me apart as a pet caretaker is my experience. I have started and trained puppies, maintained pets care and their training, and I have assisted senior pets in their finals years and moments. I worked on a farm, was a live in pet nanny where I aided in their well being and trained dogs, I have had dogs my entire life, trained dogs basic commands for the animal shelter, and I currently volunteer at an animal shelter! To say pets well being is my passion is an understatement! I even study dog breeds to make sure each dog gets the best care they can. I currently am super free because I am on summer break from college. I am open and available for your pets whenever you need! My schedule is super flexible. I will treat your home with the upmost respect, that is a guarantee. I will keep it clean and tidy. I am available for lots of play and walks with your pets!!
“Leslie was an absolute dream. Our other sitter fell through, so we reached out to Leslie and she was amazing with the pups. She was great at communicating and took our puppy on lots of walks. I would recommend her over and over again. We appreciated her help last minute so much!”
About: I offer loving, reliable pet care in a calm and relaxed environment. I specialize in well-behaved pets and focus on making them feel safe, comfortable and at home. I’ve cared for both cats and dogs over the years and truly treat them as part of the family. We had beloved dogs growing up, and I’ve also had cats—including a rescue cat which we loved very much. I'm naturally attentive to each pet's behavior, routine, and comfort. I take the time to understand their personality, so they feel calm and secure while you're away. I'm also friendly, respectful, clean and easy to communicate with. I want you to feel completely at ease knowing your pet is in caring and responsible hands. I work from home, so I’m available throughout the day to give your pet plenty of attention, care, and companionship. I have a flexible schedule and can adjust my day to meet your pet’s needs. I provide a calm, safe, and attentive environment for pets in my care. Since I work from home, pets are rarely left alone and receive consistent supervision throughout the day. While I don’t have a fenced yard, I take pets out on leashed walks and supervised potty breaks to ensure their safety at all times. I also have a spacious outdoor patio area for fresh air and short breaks. Inside, I maintain a clean, comfortable space where pets can relax and feel at ease. I follow each pet’s routine closely and make sure they receive the attention, care, and affection they’re used to. In a client’s home, I respect their space and instructions, keeping their pet’s routine consistent and stress-free.

FAQs for House Sitting - Whitney
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Whitney on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 941 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.

- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
