About: I've had animals most of my life from puppies to pound mutts and full blooded and senior dogs. I make sure to encourage play and positive training. I currently work from home so I spend lots of time with family pets, old roommate animals and friends pets. Lately it's been waking up to 3 small dogs my parents have. I make sure to follow any rules stated by the original owner. It can range from crate training, socialization, cleaning, walking or using the client's home.
“We’re big fans of Lori and her pup Teddy! We like to keep our pups home in their comfort zone when we’re not able to travel with them and they did great with her overnight. We will be using Lori again in the future and would recommend her in a heartbeat to folks in the area who need their animals well cared for while they’re away.”
About: I have grown up around all types of pets. In my childhood I rescued multiple dogs and our family rescued many, many, cats! I am very loving and caring and I treat every pet as it is my own. I like to first get to know them to see if I’d even be a good match for your pawesome friend! I have trained some dogs as puppies, taught them the basics as well as potty trained them. I am very flexible with my availability! I would love to get to know your furry friend and be apart of their world♥️ I’m currently looking for some side gigs to fill up my time.. I couldn’t think of a more awesome way to do it than to be around pets! Making your pets comfortable and happy is my top priority! I like to let animals be animals and do what they like to do. Caring for pets has always been one of my favorite things to do. I can’t remember a time where I didn’t own a pet.
“Makayla is such a kind person and really helped me out big time when my husband and I had to go on a last minute trip. She followed our instructions word for word and sent lots of pictures. Sophie and Jax loved playing and relaxing with her while we were gone. We will definitely be using her in the future.”
About: I have been a life long dog owner. I currently have a 14-year-old female dog. My children and I will provide daily walks and playtime. The property includes a dog room, doggie door, fenced-in yard, and a pasture. We take turns working from home. We are very flexible and adaptable. Our kids are available after school. We will do daily walks and playtime. We have a 14-year-old female dog, fenced in yard, dog door, and a large pasture. We have 2 children who love animals, are caring, and have lots of energy.

“Sher provided great feedback and communication. We have never had someone stay over and she made sure to ask lots of questions and check in with me on how things were going. I would 100% recommend for future sittings.”
“Emily and Taylor were fantastic!! We searched for some time to find the perfect match to come and house sit/dog sit for our German Shepherds and now we have found it with them!!! We have one that is a senior and one that can be anxious- so it has to be a good fit all the way around- they came out and solid two visits prior to the actual weekend house sit. They showed up on time for the visit; communicated throughout the weekend; sent us pictures; and asked questions for clarification before the visit and during if needed. Their personalities are great for our dogs who warmed up to them ASAP; they took fantastic care of them as well as of our house. We will continue to use them in the future and highly recommend them to others.”
About: Hi, I’m Jessica-Sue, and I’d love to treat your pets like royalty! 👑 I come from a family of lifelong dog lovers—my mom rescued dogs, and my great aunt was a breeder and international dog judge. I also had a beloved cat, Lilly Anne, who passed in 2018, and I still hold a special place in my heart for her. I have over a decade of experience caring for cats, dogs, birds, puppies, kittens, and senior animals. I’m comfortable giving medication to both dogs and cats. I’ve fostered cats in the past and truly enjoy caring for animals of all kinds. I’ll care for your home respectfully and give your pets the love and attention they deserve. For all first-time bookings, I require a short meet-and-greet or video chat so your pets can get familiar with me and so we can review their routine and needs. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or booking requests—I’d love to connect! I’m new to Rover, but I’ve been housesitting and petsitting for over a decade through word of mouth, TrustedHousesitters, and House Sitters America. You’re welcome to check out my TrustedHousesitters profile to see my five-star reviews. I’ve also included some reviews below. I’m also happy to provide reference contacts upon request. “Jessica-Sue was incredibly flexible and easy to coordinate with. She is amazing with animals and she and Rupert LOVED each other immediately. She left my house looking spotless!” (Hound dog Rupert and two cats) Sarah THS, Brooklyn NYC Dec 2024 “Jessica-Sue was so great we asked her back a second time. Great with our pets and home.” (Border Collie Puppy, cat and lizard) Matthew THS, Savannah, GA Oct 2025 "I highly recommend Jessica-Sue for your house/pet sitting needs! With her calm and confident energy, I knew my pets were in good hands. She is thoughtful, organized and asked detailed questions to ensure that everything went perfectly. Jessica-Sue and I had great communication throughout the sit and she sent lots of photos with my team looking happy and well cared for. I especially appreciated her commitment to keeping my same routine, especially with my dog Bo. She took him for his evening walks/runs at Stone Mountain Park, which I know he loves. You will come back to a clean home with happy pets. (She even watered the lawn!!) Jessica-Sue is absolutely wonderful and you will be lucky to have her care for your home with as much love and attention as you do." —(Pit bull and 4 cats) Eve, House Sitters America, Georgia June 2023 “We had the absolute pleasure of having Jessica-Sue take care of our home, our beloved cats, and our plants while we were away—and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. From the very beginning, her communication was kind, thoughtful, and clear. She arrived the night before the stay, which gave us the opportunity to walk her through everything and show her around the community pool and gym. That extra time meant a lot to us and set the tone for how caring and detail-oriented she is.Throughout her stay, Jessica-Sue kept us updated with regular messages and sent the most beautiful, thoughtful photos of each of our cats—each one felt like a little love letter from home. She clearly took time to connect with them, and it showed. Our cats were not only well cared for, but genuinely happy and very comfortable in her presence (and yes, they definitely miss her now!). Our house was spotless when we returned, and our plants looked healthier than ever. It’s rare to find someone who takes such care and pride in what they do. We wholeheartedly recommend Jessica-Sue to anyone looking for a responsible, kind, and detail-oriented house and pet sitter. We’d welcome her back anytime!” — (5 cats) Corinna THS, Hendersonville NC Sept. 2025 “Jessica-Sue responded to a short notice request for someone to watch our just-adopted kittens. I was so grateful for her kindness and thoughtfulness. She takes great care of the house and the kittens and communicated regularly (which was key because we were nervous new cat parents!) she had lists of questions to make sure she knew everything she needed to and everything went smoothly. Highly recommend her!” — (Two sister kittens) Selena, Washington DC Feb 2024 "Jessica-Sue did some volunteering for our cat rescue group in Brooklyn and she proved to be both reliable and compassionate. She really cared about the well-being of the cat she fostered —he required daily pill medications and a particular food—and she asked questions and took her responsibilities seriously! It is great that J-S is available to help with fostering for a rescue group or shelter while she has no pets of her own at this time. Good fosters are not easy to find and are an integral part of rescue." —Maria Rozos, Board Secretary of Infinite Hope, Brooklyn, NY “I have known Jessica-Sue for over 5 years. We were in a performance workshop together and maintained contact primarily because of our love of animals. Jessica-Sue has taken care of my cat, Olive, at her apartment for week long time-periods while I was out of town. I know her to be a kind and responsible caretaker. My cat is always bright and content when I return home, and I am grateful knowing I can entrust my cat to Jessica-Sue’s care without worry.” —Jil, Newark, NJ I am a creative who works remotely as a writer, allowing me plenty of flexibility in my schedule. With a background in filmmaking and photography, I enjoy capturing beautiful photos of your pets during my stays. When I sit for you, you can feel confident knowing your home is secure and your pets are loved and well cared for. I send regular updates and high-quality photos during your trip—photography is a passion of mine, so you’ll get great pictures of your pets. I respect every home I stay in. I appreciate clean, well-cared-for spaces and treat your home with the same attention I give my own. No one will enter your home without your permission, and I will leave everything as clean and tidy as I found it. I live a completely sober lifestyle—I don’t smoke, drink, or use recreational drugs. I’m also happy to care for indoor and outdoor plants with clear instructions.

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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!

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 .
