“I highly recommend Jill as a pet sitter. She took exceptional care of my two Maine Coon cats while I was away and gave me complete peace of mind. She spent quality time playing with them, making sure they received plenty of attention, affection, and exercise. Jill also went above and beyond by keeping my home clean and tidy throughout her stay. It was wonderful to return to a well-maintained house and two happy, relaxed cats. One thing I especially appreciated was the regular updates and photos she sent. Seeing my cats comfortable and well cared for made being away from them much easier.”
“Grace was excellent in house sitting for Waylon! She was extremely kind, personable, and flexible to cater to his needs. She is always communicative and very honest and trustworthy. I did not have to worry at all about leaving my fur baby and our home to her while I was gone. I absolutely recommend Grace and will definitely book her again!”
About: I've had a variety of pets since I was a kid. In the last 8 years, I decided to take my experience with dog walking to the next level. I have the most experience with leash training. It does take a bit of time for dogs, especially puppies, to get accustomed to walking with a leash. I feel the most satisfaction when I can teach an old (or young) dog new tricks. My mornings start with pet care — before work, I make sure any pets in my care are fed, checked on, gone for a walk and settled for the day. It’s a routine I already follow with my own cats, Francis and LJ, so caring for yours fits naturally into my day. For drop-in visits, I follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible — feeding on schedule, fresh water, and a walk or playtime depending on their needs. For cats, that includes litter box maintenance and making sure they feel comfortable rather than rushed. I always do a quick check for anything unusual — appetite, mood, or behavior — so you’re kept in the loop. My goal is for your pet to feel like their day went on as normal, even with you away.
About: Hi! I’m Scarlett, and animals have always been a huge part of my life. Some of my favorite memories growing up involve dogs curled up next to me on the couch, playing outside until they were completely worn out, or spending quiet evenings with my cat in my lap. Caring for animals has never felt like a chore to me—it’s something I genuinely love. Over the years I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Right now I have a service dog who has taught me so much about patience and understanding anxious pets. Because she needs extra reassurance, I’ve learned to pay attention to body language, build trust at each dog’s pace, and create an environment where they feel safe and comfortable. I also have a 10-year-old cat that I’ve raised since she was young. When she started having trouble using her litter box, I didn’t give up or get frustrated. I spent time researching, changing her routine, and working with her until she was confidently using it again. Experiences like that have taught me that every pet communicates differently, and sometimes they just need someone willing to slow down and understand them. I’m especially comfortable caring for pets with medical needs. I’ve given insulin injections to my younger brother with Type 1 diabetes as well as a close friend’s diabetic dog, so needles and strict medication schedules don’t intimidate me. I’ve also administered eye drops, ear medication, and oral medications to my own dogs, including caring for one of my dogs while he struggled with painful eye conditions that required daily treatment. Since I’m studying nursing, being calm, detail-oriented, and following medical routines accurately is something that comes naturally to me. I’m also an active person. I love being outside, going on walks, running, and staying busy, so energetic dogs are honestly my favorite. Whether your dog loves long walks, games of fetch, or simply needs someone who can match their energy, I’m always excited to join them. At the same time, I’m just as happy spending a quiet afternoon keeping an older dog company or giving extra attention to a shy pet that needs a little more patience. Beyond dogs and cats, I’ve cared for snakes, fish, and plenty of plants (my room is basically a tiny jungle), so taking care of living things has always been a big part of who I am. Friends and family know me as the person who notices the little things—whether it’s a change in appetite, energy, or behavior—because I truly pay attention. When your pet is with me, my goal isn’t just to feed them and let them outside. I want them to feel comfortable, understood, and genuinely cared for. I’ll treat them with the same patience, love, and attention that I give my own pets, and I’ll keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you can enjoy your time away knowing they’re in good hands. Pet care fits easily into my schedule! Right now, I’m available full time as I prepare to move to college. I always make sure every pet gets plenty of love, exercise, attention, and one-on-one care. I’ll also send regular updates and photos so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is happy and in good hands. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. My goal is to make your pet feel as comfortable and safe as possible by sticking closely to their normal routine. Whether that means following a medication schedule, taking a favorite walking route, or giving them extra cuddles before bed, I’m happy to do whatever helps them feel at home. I’m very detail-oriented and comfortable administering medications, including pills, eye drops, ear medications, and insulin injections when needed. I’ll always pay close attention to your pet’s behavior, appetite, and overall well-being, and I’ll let you know right away if I notice anything unusual. I’ll also treat your home with the same respect I treat my own. I’ll keep everything clean, secure, and exactly how you left it. You’ll receive regular updates and photos, so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, happy, and receiving plenty of love while you’re away.
“Jessica is amazing! I’ve been lucky enough to book her 2x for overnight puppy sitting. I felt so much better knowing she was there. She is great with communicating, sends awesome pictures, and follows all instructions. My dog loves her too. I’d book her every time if I could.”
“Highly recommend! She was extremely reliable and easy to communicate with. My dog can be a handful, but everything went smoothly during the stay. Will definitely book her again!”
“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!”
“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!!”
“Morgan was amazing! They did everything I asked and even went out of their way to clean the dogs bowl. When I got back Elliot and Maverick seemed happy and well taken care of. They were responsive, attentive and even had a note file in their phone which I thought was a nice touch. I finally found someone that put me at ease and that I can trust. As a matter of fact I have already booked them already to stay with the pups on my next trip. 10/10”
“Hilda has sat for me twice so far and has exceeded expectations both times. Hilda is my top sitter and will continue to book her for future needs. I highly recommend booking with her. She’s extremely reliable and professional and keeps the pet and house in top shape. I’m able to fully relax on vacation knowing my cat and house are in good hands.”
“Adriana did a great job with our dog and cat. She followed our instructions well and stayed in regular contact with us with lots of updates and photos and if there were any concerns she asked questions. We will definitely use her again. She also kept the house very clean.”
“Megan was amazing. Very communicative and sent pictures. She also followed all instructions for our baby; which he is currently on multiple meds as well as physical therapy.”
“Another great stay with my Sammy !! This was Poly's third stay and She has done an excellent job taking care of him. I came home and Sammy was in the bed where Poly sleeps instead of mine!!! I'd say Sammy really likes Poly. Poly will be my go to sitter when our schedules aline. Thank you Poly for taking care of my Sammy”
“Kaylee is outstanding! I took a leap hiring her as I had not used her before, and I think she may be newer to Rover. But, she is definitely not new to caring for animals or housesitting. She sent lots of pictures, gave me a lot of updates, and I could tell the animals were very comfortable with her and got a lot of love and attention. My house was also very tidy when I came home and little things done I didn’t ask for. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible pet sitter. I will definitely be using her again. Thank you, Kaylee, for being such a loving pet sitter. You had my mind at ease our entire trip.”
“Mandi did an incredible job taking care of our two little dachshunds while we were away getting married! From all the pictures and updates she sent, it was clear they were happy, comfortable, and in great hands. We’d 100% recommend Mandi to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter and will definitely be booking with her again next time we’re away!”
“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.”
“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!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Whitney is $50

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!
Grace did such an amazing job taking care of our dog Ruby while we were out of town for a few days!! We were new to rover and have an anxious pup, but Grace was so good about giving us updates while we were away which gave us peace of mind while we were on vacation that our pup was happy and taken care of!
Victoria is absolutely wonderful! She is a great communicator, incredibly accommodating, and always so attentive and caring with our dogs. We feel completely comfortable knowing they are in her hands, and it’s clear she genuinely cares about them and their well-being. She is reliable, thoughtful, and makes everything so easy for us. We are so grateful to have found her and would highly recommend Victoria to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and loving to care for their pets!
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!!
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!!!
Jessica was absolutely fantastic! This was our first time using her, and she exceeded our expectations from start to finish. Before the stay even began, she came to our home twice—once for an initial meet-and-greet and again before the sitting—to get to know our dogs, learn their routines, and make sure everyone (including us!) felt comfortable. That level of preparation immediately gave us confidence. Throughout the stay, Jessica was incredibly responsive, communicative, and thoughtful. She kept us updated with messages and photos, which made it so much easier to relax while we were away knowing Singleton and Sophie were in such good hands. When we returned home, the house was spotless and exactly as we had left it. It’s clear she treated both our home and our dogs with genuine care and respect. Most importantly, Singleton and Sophie were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. Jessica is professional, dependable, kind, and truly goes above and beyond. We wouldn’t hesitate to book her again, and we wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust with both their pets and their home. Thank you, Jessica!
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Whitney on Rover is $51.36 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 1,675 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:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% 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.
