“Tammy was a fantastic sitter for my cat Solana! She was so kind and asked all detailed questions about my cat’s medication and food schedule. I loved all the picture updates she gave of how my cat was doing while I was out of town. Thank you Tammy!”
“Tiffany stayed at my place with my fur baby Moo for a week! Let’s start off with her response efforts that I was highly satisfied with. It was my first time leaving Moo with anyone as well at my home. She did an amazing job, fantastic with updating me on any situation and I was always sent photos of Moo. Tiffany went above and beyond and exceeded expectations in my eye, she not only gave love and cuddles to my fur baby but she also took it upon herself to make sure he was fresh and clean coming back home to. My home was also left in great condition. Tiffany is very trustworthy and her confidence shows that she knows exactly what she’s doing with pets. I definitely found a fur baby sitter for any new events that may come up. She did an awesome job and I highly recommend her to anyone. Thank you so much again Tiffany. I appreciate your work & kind soul 🙏💗✨”

“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!”
“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!”
“Jorie was incredible with my angel Vicki. Vicki takes forever to warm up to people and even took two months warming up to me but she probably sensed Jodie’s good spirits because Vicki became so attached. 100/10 recommend and will def be booking again ?”
“Lauren was so great with our cat Reese! She sent me so many great pictures of them cuddling and hanging out and she left my place clean and even brought up all of our packages from the reception. I definitely will be having her watch Reese and our place again!”
“Haley was a great sitter for our three dogs for the ten days we were gone. She would send messages and pictures to keep us updated. She went above and beyond by doing a few chores and cleaning up after herself and the dogs.”
About: Hi! I’m Thomas, and I’ve been caring for pets for about 10 years, including dog walking, dog sitting, cat sitting, feeding, playtime, and everyday pet care. I genuinely love animals and enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality and routine. I’m reliable, attentive, and committed to making sure your pets feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I also have a dog of my own, Rocky! I’m available to provide pet care 7 days a week with flexible availability throughout the day. I communicate clearly with pet owners about my schedule and make sure I have enough time to give every pet the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. My goal is to provide reliable, dependable care while making sure each pet feels comfortable, safe, and well cared for. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully and take time to understand their pet’s personality, routine, habits, and needs. During walks and visits, I stay attentive to my surroundings and make sure pets are secure at all times. I’ll also provide updates and photos so you know how your pet is doing while you’re away. My goal is to create a calm, positive experience where both you and your pet feel comfortable and confident in my care.
“Best dog sitter ever!!!!!! My dogs love, love, love her! Her work definelty shows her passion for animals. She took care of my dogs like they were hers'. She's amazing ❤️.”
“Kimberly was wonderful and took great care of my two cats while I was away. She came by each day, kept them active, and sent me pictures! Always great to get updates on my little ones. When I go on vacation again, I'll absolutely ask Kimberly to cat-sit again. :)”
“Alexis did house sitting with my special-needs Frenchie. He's paralyzed in his back legs and it requires a special person to help keep him clean and help him with his bathroom needs. Alexis did not hesitate to take care of his needs, and her only comments were that he was so sweet and so cute. I cannot recommend her more highly! She's clearly a very caring animal lover who sees the best in our loved ones.”
“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.”
About: I provide dependable, attentive care tailored to each pet’s personality, routine, and individual needs. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a calm, quiet environment, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m patient with puppies and kittens who are still learning routines, including reinforcing basic training, house-training schedules, and positive behaviors. I also have experience caring for senior pets, providing gentle exercise, administering medications as directed, and accommodating mobility or special dietary needs. I believe communication is just as important as great pet care, so you’ll receive regular updates, photos, and prompt responses throughout your pet’s stay or visit. My goal is to give you peace of mind while ensuring your pet receives the same level of care and attention they would at home. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I plan my schedule to ensure pets receive consistent attention, regular walks or playtime, feeding on schedule, and plenty of companionship throughout the day. I enjoy being active and spending time with animals, so I make sure each pet gets the exercise, enrichment, and affection they need. Whether it’s maintaining a puppy’s routine, caring for a senior pet with specific needs, or simply providing company while you’re away, I prioritize making pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. When pets stay in my home, I treat them like part of the family. I provide a safe, clean, and pet-friendly environment where they can relax, play, and feel comfortable. I follow each pet’s regular routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and any special care instructions. I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality so they receive the right balance of activity, attention, and rest. Whether they enjoy playing, going for walks, or simply relaxing, I make sure they feel secure and loved throughout their stay. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind while they’re away. I also have a fence yard for play time.
“Sarah did a great job with my kitty. She’s attentive, sends pictures, and asked questions for clarification. I trusted her fully with my Izzy. I will book with her again very soon!”
“Alexis has stayed with our dogs on multiple occasions. She is timely, communicative, and attentive to each of our dog’s individual needs. We appreciate having someone to trust with reactivity, daily medication, and our home. Thank you for taking care of our puppers!”
“Tanner did a fantastic job while sitting for our two dogs in our cat. They were in great shape when we got back in the house was in very good condition as well. Very thoughtful young man, and I would highly recommend him for anybody looking for a dog or a pet sitter for their fir babies.”
“Kyle was amazing with our 2 cats and our 1 large breed 13 year old senior dog. He provided daily updates, walks, pictures & videos, and took meticulously care for our pets while we were away. We definitely would recommend Kyle to anyone who has pets of all sizes. We definitely look forward to booking again and can’t thank you enough sir!”
“Patricia stayed at our home and took care of our 3 big boys. We came back to a clean home and found our babies well taken care of. She is very professional and at the same time very friendly, kind, and understanding. I highly recommend Patricia to care for your precious ones.”
“Pre was wonderful! She was incredibly caring for our French Bulldog, who had a rash on his feet; she made sure to apply his ointment and took good care of our home. We'd book with her again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Whitney
Tiffany was great! She showed up on time, communication was great she kept me updated with pics and my dogs loved her. For my first time using rover it was a great experience and will definitely use her again. If you’re looking for someone reliable and trustworthy that your dogs will love I highly recommend her.
Lauren was so great with our cat Reese! She sent me so many great pictures of them cuddling and hanging out and she left my place clean and even brought up all of our packages from the reception. I definitely will be having her watch Reese and our place again!
Natalya watched my three dogs and did an exceptional job. She was easy to communicate with and provided periodic updates and pictures. She even took the initiative to bring my trashcans up from the street (so my HOA didn't fine me)! I returned from my vacation to find my house just as I'd left it and with three happy dogs! I highly recommend Natalya for your pet sitting needs. She is fantastic.
Scarlett took such wonderful care of Oscar! She sent pictures and updates every day, which we really appreciated. It was so nice to see how he was doing and stay connected while we were away. Those little check-ins gave us so much peace of mind and made it easier to relax knowing he was in good hands. Leaving your dog with someone else takes trust, and Scarlett made us feel comfortable throughout her stay. We’re so grateful for the care and attention she gave Oscar and for keeping us updated without us having to ask. We would happily book with her again and recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, thoughtful dog sitter!
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!

The average cost of House Sitting in Whitney is $54 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $94 per night.

As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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!
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 , 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 .
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 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
