“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!”
“Hannah was very compassionate and understanding of my anxiety about leaving my precious tiny senior chihuahua in a hotel in Vegas. She FaceTimed me Before and assured me she was in good hands. She sent me pictures throughout her stay with Coco. Took her for a walk my baby was peacefully sleeping when I got back to the hotel after the concert. I highly recommend trusting Hannah to care for your beloved pet!”
About: I’ve cared for animals for my entire life. I absolutely adore taking care of all of them, and have 2 kitties of my own! I can handle anything from the most energetic of puppies to the laziest of seniors! Currently, I work part-time and am available anytime to come care for your pet! I can also drop by in early mornings to come feed, let out, and love on your fur baby. I can do drop-in visits and give your baby a buddy to hang out with for a while. Let them out, lounge around, whatever’s needed from me. I always make sure that my cats feel comfortable and well-loved. I will ensure your pups & kitties feel the same!
“Jill took great care of our French bulldog Koda while we were out of town working. She was very attentive and caring about his quirks and special needs. We always got updates and pictures everyday so we knew how things were going and how our Koda boy was doing. You could tell in these updates that Jill was taking wonderful care of Koda and appreciating his personality. Jill also took great care of our house while we were gone. When we arrived home, everything was clean and tidy.”
About: My experience with animals, especially dogs, started early. I grew up having many dogs and have been around them my whole life, from chihuahuas to German shepherds. I have cared for dogs of all sizes and ages. I also volunteer weekly at my local humane society, where I help with cats, kittens, dogs, and puppies. My responsibilities include walking, feeding, cleaning, socializing animals, and monitoring their health and behavior. Animals are a huge part of my life, and I always treat them with the same love, patience, and care I give my own pets. As a college student, I have a very open and flexible schedule. I occasionally babysit and dog-sit for families in my area, but my time is mostly free and I’m able to adjust my availability as needed. I’m happy to help during weekdays, weekends, and even holidays if needed. I'm dependable, punctual, and always willing to work around your schedule to make sure your pets get the best care possible. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or a client’s, I always prioritize the animal’s comfort, safety, and routine. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions carefully to maintain their pet’s usual schedule—this includes feeding times, walk routines, playtime, medication, and any specific care needs. I make sure the pet feels calm and secure by giving them plenty of attention, love, and positive interaction. If I’m caring for pets in my own home, I create a safe and pet-friendly environment where they have space to play, rest, and feel at ease. I introduce them slowly to my own pets if needed and make sure everyone is supervised and comfortable. I always keep things clean, organized, and stress-free so that every pet feels like part of the family while they’re with me. No matter the setting, I treat every animal with patience, kindness, and respect—just like I do with my own.
“Olivia took excellent care of my dog, my cat, and my sister's dog as well! She stayed in my home for a three day, two night petsitting request, and she took great care of my house & belongings as well. Olivia is very pleasant to be around, and the animals loved her. She'll provide plenty of cuddle time as well as play time, and she follows detailed instructions without issue. I'd certainly hire her again. Thank you!”
“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!”
“Adriana was amazing. We felt our little girl, Phoenix and our home was safe and secure. She kept us updated throughout the day. We will definitely be booking her again. 😃”
“Lexi took great care of our cat while we were gone. She sent so many pictures and videos. Our long haired cat was well groomed and happy when we came home! Lexi was super responsive and is very thorough and trustworthy.”
“Nadine was a miracle in our lives and we can’t thank her enough! My husband and I planned what is possibly the last cruise of our lives - he being 94 and me 86! We have 2 rescued pets, an Alaskan Husky and a MaltePoo - both 10 yrs old. Our Husky, Tex, has diabetes and requires insulin injections twice a day on schedule & Biscuit who has separation anxiety issues seemed to not panic about our leaving. Nadine was the perfect in house pet sitter for our 2 week absence! She had the experience and background to handle both of our pups care! But, most of all, Tex and Biscuit immediately responded to her loving care. If, by chance, we could still be able to take an extended trip again, we would certainly contact Nadine! I’m sure that Tex & Biscuit would wag their tails in thanks!💕 GJ & Joe”
“Nina is wonderful, although I would love to gate keep her for myself 😂 I must be honest and say how amazing she is! She is very flexible and She communicates well!! She kept me updated and sent pictures of my baby and I came home to a sparkling clean house with fresh sheets on the bed and a happy dog. I highly recommend her and she really is a blessing to us dog parents!! Thanks Nina!”
“Rivendell is the absolute best! We were out of town for a wedding when our dog had to be taken to the vet for an emergency surgery. Rivendell was incredible. She took our dog to the vet, stayed with him, and diligently cared for him during the difficult moments post-surgery. Her communication was phenomenal in a stressful situation. We are incredibly grateful for her care and attention for our dogs. She went above and beyond for our dogs and made us feel comfortable that our dogs were being taken care of.”
“Natalya was FANTASTIC! We are undergoing construction and everything was in disarray and dogs were unsettled. Should not have worried at all because Natalya had it handled. All communications were timely and we got fantastic pictures! So grateful for her and her handling of our 200 pounds of dogs.”
About: I've spent 20+ years loving, caring for, and spoiling four-legged friends of all shapes & sizes. All breeds, all personalities, all deeply loved. As an EMT, building trust and caring for others is at the heart of what I do— rest assured, your pets will be treated with the same patience, compassion, and sense of responsibility I practice every day in the field. Long walks? Cuddle time? Infinite belly rubs? Consider it handled. Maybe your pup is more of an introvert. Shy around new people? Need some space? Not interested in being touched? No problem. No matter your pets' unique needs, my goal is always the same: to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. ***ANXIOUS PETS WELCOME*** Part-time worker and online student with a flexible schedule & plenty of time to spend with your fur babies. Weekly availability below: Thursday-Monday (all hours of the day) Wednesday (after 730PM) Unconditional love and unwavering compassion. ALWAYS. Every pet has their quirks- I have an anxious dog myself (along with 2 kittens), so I understand the value & importance of following instructions thoroughly and providing the personalized care they deserve. Happy to practice tricks, administer necessary medications, etc.
“This was a Rebook with Jessica J. I prefer her as my sitter for Zion. She is the best sitter that I've ever had. Jessica follows instructions to the T. She is kind, caring, understanding and knows about dogs and their behaviors, etc. Zion took to her right away and loves playing with her with his toys. She walked him daily and sent us pictures and videos of him. While we were gone, we knew Zion was being well taken care of and thats a good feeling. With much appreciation, Mike & Rita”
About: I've been around animals/ pets my whole life. I've had lots of different dog breeds, cats, horses, goats, rabbits, even a peacock! I love them dearly and have seen it all. At the beginning of the year I stopped working to focus on family! Im currently waiting on a very exciting job opportunity, so my schedule is pretty open! Available most days all day long. I am very specific to the owners request whether it's cleaning up, getting exercise, or monitoring their behavior! I'm very attentive and am focused on the safety and well being of your pet.
“Haley was the absolute best! From the second I met her I knew my sweet Sugar would be in good hands. I needed to find a sitter while I was on vacation and couldn’t be happier that I found Haley! She stayed at my home and gave me updates and pics. She even went out of her way to bring us and pick us up from the airport really late at night. Haley is warm, trustworthy, and kind and you can tell she really loves animals (and they love her) Will definitely be using her again in the future. Thanks a million!!!!”
“Joy was incredible with our dog Moses. Right away, it was easy to see that Joy has a big heart for dogs and Moses loved him immediately. Moses has separation anxiety but having Joy there, my wife and I felt relaxed on our night out knowing Moses was in good hands. Will definitely hire again in the future!”

Victoria was great! She was very attentive and a great communicator. She sent lots of pictures of the dogs and updates on how they were doing, which really put me at ease. I will definitely book her again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a 5-star dog sitter!
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!
Mariana was fantastic! We were in a time crunch and wanted to do a meet & greet asap. She came the same night. After the meet & greet my husband Will & I felt very comfortable leaving town & trusting her with our babies & house. She is great with communication & following directions. We came back to happy pups & a clean house. Thank you Mariana! Can’t wait to book with you again.
Ana has watched my dog and cat twice now, both for a week long trips. She sends lots of pics of my babies and I always come back to happy pets! My dog is a big cuddler so it makes me happy Ana will cozy up with him while I’m gone. She’s a great sitter! Highly recommend.
Jessica did an amazing job! This was our first time leaving our little chihuahua overnight and he seemed so happy and at ease with Jessica. She sent plenty of video and picture updates, which were greatly appreciated, and gave us updates on his meal intake and activities throughout the day. We will definitely book with her again the next time we need a sitter.
Steven was great! My dog is pretty calm, but Steven was able to handle his medical issues. He was very responsive whenever I texted and sent pictures of my dog, which was reassuring! He'll divinely be my first choice the next time I need someone to take care of my boy!

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 1,669 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.
