“Communication, care and professionalism were all top notch. We have a senior dog that requires extra special care and attention and Larissa and Joseph went above and beyond. We came back from our trip to a happy and healthy dog. Getting pictures the whole time was great. It was so comforting to know that our dog was in such good hands.”
“Rylie was very responsive and very attentive to our pups. She also sent great photos. She has great experience with her own dogs and with her work at a doggy day care and was very comfortable when a last minute issue came up and knew which issues she should contact us about.”
“Greyson did an amazing job caring for our whole family, which is a lot! Very communicative and sent very helpful updates. Everyone loved Greyson, even my grumpy old man cat. Will definitely book again!”
“Jessi was very kind and loving with our Golden retriever, Brady Love. She was faithful in sending updates and pictures to us during her stay. Her personality is both upbeat and professional. We highly recommend her without reservation. Thank you, Jessi!!”
“Kelly did an awesome job as always! She took great care of our dog and also of our house. She's knowledge about dog behavior, and she's very attentive to dogs' wants/needs in any given moment. We can always trust her with our sensitive guy. Highly recommend her!”
“Fatima was amazing! This is the first time we’ve left our dog with someone other than family, and she eased my nerves from the very beginning. She was communicative throughout the whole stay and accommodative with Stella’s needs. I would highly recommend her services and will be booking with her in the future. Thank you, Fatima!!”

My services include exercise for pets, house sitting, potty breaks, basic grooming, and overall caregiving and companionship however and whenever needed!

“Jackie was very loving and caring of our two dogs. Not only did she take care of our two higher-needs dogs, but she watched over our house and kept everything very neat. Great communication and she provided multiple pictures and videos, sometimes twice a day.”
“Erin really went above and beyond for us. Just before we were about to take a long planned vacation, one of our kitties came down with a virus and required multiple medications, including IV fluids. We were so grateful to have found her profile. She is an expert cat sitter, with the background as a vet tech and was able to administer all the medications as needed while we were gone. Also, she kept our house was in tiptop shape. Best of all, when we came home and our sick kitty was back to being himself. We couldn’t have asked for more. Although we don’t have dogs, I’m sure that Erin provides the same expert care for them as well. We will be having her back for sure.”
“Nichole was absolutely wonderful! Our dogs loved her and felt comfortable with her right away — even Bugsy, who usually takes a little time to warm up to new people. It made such a difference being able to keep them in their own home; it was so much less stressful for them. She sent daily photos and updates, and you could clearly see how happy and well cared for they were. I truly couldn’t be happier with the care they received. We would absolutely book with her again!”
“Ally was a great dog sitter. She took great care of Bernard and was very communicative. She send constant updates and photos of Bernard which made it easier for us to leave him behind knowing that he was well taken care of.”
“Haevin did a fantastic job staying at our house and taking care of our two playful and energetic doodles. She is responsive, timely, communicative and very nice and caring. Highly recommend and will definitely use again!”
“We loved Elizabeth’s updates while we were on our trip. Our older dog Radish has a plethora of supplements and medications and Elizabeth was happy to accommodate. House was spotless on our return. Would gladly have her back!”
“Jennifer was so good with my dog and cat while I was out of town for three days. She went above and beyond when my air conditioning went out during a heat wave and helped me coordinate with my neighbor to make sure my pets were safe!”
“Bridget did a great job with both my dogs. She was very responsive, and communicated well and sent lots of pictures! She exceeded my expectations and will definitely be rebooking her for future trips!”
“Kaylee did such a wonderful job of taking care of my dog. It was very hot outside. She was careful in monitoring him during their walks. I really appreciated her help. My dog is happy and quietly sleeping. That means that he had a very good day today. I have Kaylee to thank for that.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Whittaker
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Whittaker on Rover is $47.78 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 1,483 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Whittaker. 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 Whittaker 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 Whittaker 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 Whittaker 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.
