“Jessica took care of my Romey this past weekend while I went on vacation. I can tell my doggie loves her because he lays on his back for some belly rubs as soon as she gets home :)”
“I booked Bethany during my travel out of the country and I can't say enough good things about the care my dog received! She is a phenomenal pet sitter. She communicated clearly, kept me updated with adorable photos, and did a wonderful job following my dog's daily routine. I could tell my pup felt completely comfortable and well taken care of. Highly recommend and will book again.”

“Britney was so good with Lily and treated her like her own! She was awesome at communicating and sent pictures! She stayed at my place and kept it clean! Thank you Britney! Will definitely rebook!”
“Becca is the best! She was very accommodating & flexible with our last minute housesitting request. She took great care of our pets & provided our dog all her medications per specific instructions. They received lots of attention & cuddle time. We felt more relaxed on our vacation knowing our pets were being well taken care of by Becca. Thank you!”
“Vyanh is a wonderful dog sitter. She sat for us for 3 days. She is responsible, punctual, kind, reliable, cleans most important our pups loved her. I will be requesting her services again. She provided updates and made an effort to walk our pups, play with them and connect with them!”
About: I have grown up around dogs my entire life since I was a baby. My family has never been without more than one dog in our lives. I’ve always been in charge of medication or recovery after surgery for our pets. I started sitting in 2023 and have continued to do so for family and close friends. My daily schedule is pretty flexible as I currently take online classes this semester. I try to make all necessary appointments on the same day so as not to have a busy week/weekend. I usually let the owner(s) tell me any important information about their pets(s) while also asking about any behavior or habits that I should be aware of. Any medication that is required I write down to remember and prevent any possible mistakes.
“Jacqueline was fantastic! She has such a gentle, warm nature, which made my pets feel comfortable with her right away. She communicated consistently through the app and sent plenty of photos, so I always knew my pets were happy, healthy, and well cared for. She has a calm, caring presence, and I wouldn't hesitate to book with her again in the future.”

About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Since 2014, I’ve fostered dogs of multiple ages & breeds. Alongside fostering, I’ve cared for my own pets, so I understand what it means to truly treat an animal like family. Whether your pet needs structure, comfort, or a calm & loving space, I’m experienced with making them feel at home. I am also currently serving in the U.S. Air Force Reserve, which has shaped how I approach responsibility, routine, and care. Whether your pet thrives on adventure or just needs a peaceful, loving space to settle into, they’re in good hands. I work from home, so your pet will never be left alone for long stretches. I am present, attentive, and genuinely enjoy the company. I share a 3 bedroom home with two dogs of my own: Gigi, a 6 year old Labradoodle, and Penni, a 4 year old Chihuahua mix. To keep everyone comfortable and stress-free, resident dogs and guest pets are always separated in the home and taken out on separate walks. My roommate is also around the home, so there will always be someone nearby. We live in a wonderfully walkable neighborhood with a fully fenced yard, walking trails, and parks close by. When we’re winding down, you’ll likely find me curled up with a good book and dogs are free to cuddle up, as they please.
About: I love spending time with animals, and I have 3 fur children of my own . Gilbert , khaleesi and Tokyo! When your fur baby is in my care , their safety and comfort is my top priority. I am open for walks , drop ins and sittings (no overnight stays) During sitting I can offer extended visits and arrive early, I know how to administer medication since my own pup takes a medication 2x a day I offer services on the other app😬 and am now looking to expand on this platform. I have been providing walks, drop ins, and sittings for 3 years now :) As a case manager, I work from home most mornings and have field visits in the afternoons where I’m usually away from home between 3p-7p but I have the flexibility to work from home some days as well. I’m free on weekends☺️ During sittings I can work anywhere so long as I have WiFi ! My pets have a routine, and I know how important it is to keep up with so I have this in mind while I care for others babies 😊 I have a reactive dog , and I know how to safely keep doggies away from others and how to avoid stress.
“Ivy was wonderful and understanding to my Lola, who is generally nervous around new people. Lola is not the easiest dog, but it made me so glad to see that she and Ivy became good friends. I would be happy to book with Ivy again.”
About: Being around animals brings me a lot of joy. I love discovering their individual personalities because, just like people, every pet is different. When I meet an animal, I pay attention to their energy and let them show me what they need. Some want to play immediately, some are cautious, and some would rather observe from across the room for a while. I’m happy to meet them wherever they are rather than forcing interaction. My Shiba and Malamute have taught me plenty about that. My Malamute is a big-time attention seeker, while my Shiba prefers his personal space (although he occasionally gives in to a cuddle and then mysteriously ends up snoring next to me). 😂 I keep boarding intentionally small so your pet gets the attention they deserve in a calm home environment. I’m comfortable with puppies, seniors, energetic dogs, shy pets, and animals who need medication or extra patience. Most importantly, I’ll follow the care and routines you want for your pet. You know them best, and I want their stay to feel as comfortable and familiar as possible. Pet care is my full-time focus, so I have flexibility for early mornings, midday visits, overnights, and last-minute requests when available. I’m responsive and happy to work around your pet’s normal routine, including specific feeding, exercise, or medication schedules. My home is calm, non-smoking, and fully fenced. I have two dogs of my own, and I’m experienced with introducing and managing animals thoughtfully so everyone can feel comfortable. I keep boarding intentionally small and pay close attention to each pet’s temperament and needs. Client dogs stay leashed until we’re safely inside, and I don’t take them to dog parks. For house sitting, I treat your home with the same respect I would want for my own. I’ll follow your routines, care for your space, and make sure your pets get the same attention and consistency they’re used to.
About: I’ve had several pets growing up so I’m familiar with taking care of animals. I’ve also cared for friends pets while they were away for work or vacation I’m currently in school and looking for part time work Friday through Sunday. My availability on the weekends are pretty open to care for pets I currently cannot provide service at my home but I can come to yours! I have a very nurturing and patient personality to be able to give your pet the best care
“Jennifer gave top notch care to our dog and kitties while we were away. She sent lovely pictures as well as comprehensive and thoughtful updates every day. We returned to very secure and happy babies and a perfectly clean home! 10/10 would recommend!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Whittier is $63
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Whittier
Kelli went above and beyond for my (scaredy) cat, leaving her food in places she could easily access so she would easily eat from her hiding place. Her communication was very thorough and ongoing, including a friendly meet n greet where she won over my preschooler, daily texts, and a photo when my cat finally showed herself! Kelli is an excellent pet sitter who I can definitely recommend.
Katya did a nice job . She had good rapport with Cassidy as well as taking good care of her.She also took care of my tortoise. She left the house clean and tidy. I really appreciated the care she took of my senior dog with the intricate feeding schedule I have for her.

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 Whittier 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 Whittier 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 Whittier 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.
