“Mackenzie was the absolute best sitter for my fiancée and I. Our dog Moonie can be a bit skittish and takes some time warming up to people but she loved being around Mackenzie. She took the time to come and meet Moonie a couple times before so that Moonie could be used to being around her. Mackenzie took great care of our home and of Moonie. She was very responsive and sent plenty of photos and updates on our girl. I couldn’t recommend Mackenzie enough. She is great!!”
“Andrea was amazing. We have a unique situation where we have to separate our cats and dogs which requires strict instructions, she followed all of them! My anxious cats were warming up to her as well as my anxious husky rescue! She put in a lot of effort to help them be comfortable around her 🥰. Shes so soft spoken, gentle, and patient. Highly recommend! We will be using her again!”
“We found Jill spur of the moment. She was so awesome. Our house was more put together than before we left. Mikey was happy and she communicated so well with us. We will ask her to dog sit again soon.”
“Adriana was absolutely wonderful! Great communication and care. Our dogs were so relaxed and happy when we got home. She treated our home well and even helped us out by bringing in the trash cans! Thank you so much Adriana. I was able to enjoy my best friend’s wedding to the fullest without having to worry about my doggos!”
About: Hello! ☺️ I’m Raye, I’m 29 years old and come from a family of animal lovers. My mom works with a local organization back in Nebraska to help find lost animals and return them to their owners and my sister is a certified dog trainer in Colorado, so I’ve definitely learned a thing or two. I’ve watched after animals all of my life, including caring for my mom’s senior dogs and cats while she’s away on vacation numerous times and also popping by any of my friend’s or coworker’s houses to feed and care for their pets when needed. I also worked with a nonprofit organization when I was a teenager that helped care for and raise money for animals in need. I have two dogs of my own, Hopper and Hanky, who are both pretty particular little guys. Hank has epilepsy and severe separation anxiety and Hopper is reactive to strangers, so I’ve learned how to properly care for them to keep them comfortable and happy. Your animals would definitely be safe in my care and I’d love to meet them! 🫶🏻 I just moved here from Des Moines, Iowa so my schedule is completely open and available to care for your pets! Once I’m settled in, I do plan on only getting part time work, so my schedule will remain flexible. As mentioned in my experience, one of my dogs is fairly reactive so I’m unable to host any pets in my home for the comfortability of both your and my pets; but I will gladly care for them in your home in any way you’d like!
“Michelle was wonderful. She gave my fur babies all the attention they required, even sleeping in bed with them. They were happy and content when we got home. She is my new go to dog sitter!”
“Natalya was great housesitting our 2.5 year old Frenchie for 5 days. He does not like new people and is very timid, but she got him to start warming up to her pretty quickly. She sent multiple updates throughout each day with pictures and was responsive. I left directions for her and she followed them. We came home to a happy dog. We will definitely be booking with Natalya again!”
“Maya stepped into a chaotic situation with my three cats: one who wasn't feeling great and only eats tiny amounts, but snacks often, an 8-month-old kitten who isn't very regular with meals yet, and a third adult cat who hates the kitten and isn't shy about letting him know, and who only eats raw food twice daily. A real circus. Maya and her partner who also stayed handled it with poise, and everyone was fed and happy when we returned. Thanks for letting us get away for a few days! Couldn't have done it without you!”
“Absolutely Amazing Pet Sitter! We couldn’t have asked for a better person to take care of our fur babies, Raja and Rani! ❤️ From the moment we left, Nina was so caring, attentive, and loving toward them. She kept us updated with pictures and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. When we came home, our babies were happy, healthy, and well cared for. It was clear that Nina treated them like her own. 🐶🐱❤️ Nina went above and beyond, and we are truly grateful for everything she did. Finding someone you can completely trust with your pets is priceless, and we feel so lucky to have found her. Thank you, Nina, for taking such wonderful care of Raja and Rani. We highly recommend you to anyone looking for a loving, trustworthy, and responsible pet sitter! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Jennifer did an amazing job with our two fur babies, they immediately warmed up to her and one of our boys takes a while to get comfortable with anyone so that was amazing !! She was excellent when it came to communication and check ins, I got plenty of photos and videos throughout the entire time we where away. She even brought them her own puzzles and activities so they can play, what an angel! The hubby said this was the first time I was actually relaxed being away from our pups,so thats huge in it self, would definitely book again! She was amazing.”
“Hilda did a wonderful job watching Rocky. Lots of picture and play time. She was very respectful of our home and our dog. Would highly recommend using Hilda. We will for sure!”
“Chris was amazing to my three doggies! They each have a different personality and he was so understanding and caring for them while I was gone. They went on daily walks mornings and night and even afternoons. He was great at communicating with me as well. My doggies liked him so much it made me feel happy I was leaving them with someone that cared for them!”
“Sam was incredible! She stayed with our dogs this past weekend and I couldn’t have asked for a more reliable, professional, caring person to stay in our home with our dogs! Sam was punctual, communicative, sent updates and pictures all weekend and really put me at ease with it being our first time using a pet sitter. I would definitely recommend Sam and already plan to book with her again in the future :)”
“Amelia was amazing, an absolute blessing to me and my fur babies!! I was really nervous to leave my pets at home while I went on vacation, but Amelia really helped put my mind at ease. Watson and Amaris both LOVE her, and she treated my home with such respect and kindness. I got regular updates and pictures of my pets, communication was easy, fast, and consistent. I got home to well-cared for animals and a clean house, so fantastic!! I will 1000% be rebooking as soon as I have another trip planned!!!”
“Faith did amazing! She was so sweet with all of my babies. I have 2 dogs (one came out of town with me), 3 cats, 2 turtles, and a gecko, so I have quite the crew! She checked on my reptiles, cuddled with my dog all day, and continuously checked in on both my kittens and my older cat. Her communication was amazing, and she sent me tons of photos and updates throughout my trip. When I got home, the house was picked up and everything and everyone looked great. She truly went above and beyond! I 100% recommend Faith and will definitely continue using her in the future!”
“I have three rescue pups with drastically different personalities and needs, Michelle was wonderful with all of them. I came home from a weekend trip to three happy dogs and no accidents. She even worked around a painting crew I had scheduled to come to the house during my trip.”
“Allison watched our three dogs in our home while we travelled over Christmas and we came home to a clean house and happy, healthy dogs! It was obvious Allison read each of their bios and asked great questions during our meet and greet. Very thankful for Allison staying with them over the holidays!”
“Alyssa watched my dog for 5 nights and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for my boy! She was an amazing communicator, sent so many pictures, and treated my dog and my house like her own. I would highly recommend her to watch your pets. I will be rebooking with Alyssa when in need of sitter again!”
“Brooke was fabulous with our cat Murphy. Murphy is kind of needy and Brooke lavished him with loving. When we came home I think he was a little disappointed to have us back. Brooke was respectful and took excellent care of our home while we were away. I will book her for our next trip away and always id she is available.”

Tiffany was amazing!! She was so great with my tiny rescue. My dog gets a little anxious upon meeting new people, and Tiffany knew exactly how to approach her - she warmed up immediately! Tiffany sent me tons of photos throughout the stay and my house was left in perfect condition. Can't wait to book her again!
Cally is the best cat sitter I’ve ever had! My Lucy is usually a little shy at first, but she took to Cally immediately. Cally is conscientious, attentive, and sent so many adorable photos every day, along with consistent updates throughout her stay. We felt completely at ease knowing Lucy was in the best possible care. Cally truly goes above and beyond, and we will absolutely be hiring her again!
Dawnn is the best. She takes such great care of our fur babies and our home while we’re away. We’ve worked with Dawnn on many occasions and she’s extremely reliable and trustworthy. She sticks to the schedule we have for the dogs and gives them lots of love and attention, and is very consistent with our older dog’s medication. Grateful for Dawnn’s help and glad she’s in our lives! Highly recommend!
Amelia was amazing, an absolute blessing to me and my fur babies!! I was really nervous to leave my pets at home while I went on vacation, but Amelia really helped put my mind at ease.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Whitney on Rover is $53.5 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 1,697 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
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
