About: Hello! My name is Layla and I am currently a full-time college student with extra time on my hands, my schedule can be extremely flexible on the days that I am available. I feel being a pet sitter suits me because a. I love animals, b. I’m very attentive and organized, and c. Earning a wage by hanging out/taking care of your fur babies sounds like a dream! I currently have two big dogs and one cat that I care for almost every day. I take the dogs for walks, play fetch with them, and take them out to go potty. I love spoiling my cat with new stimulating toys, cat trees, and lots of cuddles 🥰 I’m currently a full-time student with some spare time, a part-time job seems too much for me to handle while also engaging in school. I adore animals and it would be amazing to earn money while spending time and caring for them 🥲 A list offered of how you want me to care for your pet is preferred. I understand pets can have different quirks and I’m totally adaptable to anything that’s thrown at me. I love animals and their unique personalities! I’d like to follow your routine to care for your animal, just like you never left!
“Bethany was amazing! She kept us updated of our pup every day, sending pics & videos. From the moment our dog met her, he loved her, which made me feel super comfortable leaving him with her. Our house was the exact way we found it when we came back. This was our first time using Rover and Bethany made it a great, smooth experience. Would def book her again!”
“Tracy was wonderful. Our dog (Great Dane) was very comfortable with her and well taken care of. She was responsive, sent pictures throughout her stay and will definitely be using her services again. 5 stars!!”
“Kelli did an amazing job with my senior fur baby. She was great about keeping me updated and sending pictures. She also was very respectful and kept my house neat and tidy. She cleaned up after herself and left everything as if she had never been there. I will definitely use her services again!”

About: Ive grown up surround by animals. Over the last 3 years, I’ve provided in-home pet care, giving fur babies my full attention, learning their personalities, and keeping them happy while parents are away. I am currently jobhunting, which allows me plenty of time and attention to each pet, keeping their normal routines, providing walks, playtime, meals, cuddles, and companionship. I love getting to know each pet’s personality and making sure they feel happy, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. I follow each owner’s instructions and routines to ensure their pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own environment. I have experience administering medications as directed by owners and understand the importance of following care instructions closely. I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality, behaviors, and habits so I can provide personalized care.
“Britney was amazing house sitting with Cleo. She followed all directions and requests and was very communicative. There was an issue when a construction crew broke a gas main near my home, and the police came to the door saying residents needed to evacuate! I was a wreck but Britney was so calm and collected and kept me updated. Most importantly, she kept herself and my pup safe! I cannot recommend her enough, especially if you are nervous leaving your dog like I am!”
About: I’ve been around dogs for as long as I can remember and have had dogs in my life since I was 5 years old. I’ve cared for everything from energetic puppies to senior dogs, and I genuinely love spending time with them. Over the years, I’ve owned multiple dogs and have experience caring for up to 4 dogs at once. Whether it’s going for walks, playtime, feeding, or making sure each dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved, I treat every dog as if they were my own. I currently work from home, so if your dog is staying with me, I’ll be home throughout the day to provide plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship. If you’re booking dog walking or drop-in visits, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to stop by reliably and ensure your pet receives the care they need. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live in a quiet cul-de-sac in a townhome with a fully fenced private patio. My home is equipped with exterior security cameras, as well as an indoor camera that overlooks the main living area for added peace of mind. I enjoy taking dogs on walks through my quiet neighborhood, and there’s also a large fenced park nearby for exercise and play. If your dog is crate-trained, I’m happy to accommodate that routine, and I also have a spare room available if they would benefit from having their own quiet space to relax.
About: Hi hi(: With 6+ years of dedicated pet care experience and as a loving bun mom to four super cute Netherland Dwarves, my passion for animals is so clear in every aspect of what I do. What sets me apart from other sitters is my attentive, holistic approach to pet care, encompassing not just basic needs but also administering meds when needed and providing gentle, loving care for all, including senior pets. My genuine love for animals ensures that every fur baby receives personalized care and attention, making their time with me a fun and loving experience. I work a standard 9-5 Monday-Friday, so I am available after 6:15pm during the week, and anytime on the weekends. As a passionate animal lover and devoted bun mom, pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily and weekly routine. Whether it's engaging in playtime, going for evening walks, or providing cuddles, I prioritize the well-being and happiness of every fur baby entrusted to my care. Your pets will get the attention and love they deserve, ensuring a safe and fulfilling experience while you're away. At my home, pets experience a safe, loving, and enriching environment tailored to their needs. With a spacious one-bedroom apartment and a large gated courtyard perfect for dogs to run and play, every pet receives ample space and freedom to roam. My own bunnies typically enjoy free-roam privileges but are kept in a separate room when necessary, ensuring a harmonious stay for visiting pets. I prioritize safety, trust, and a comfortable environment, allowing pet parents to dictate the specific care and routine that best suits their babies. Whether it's cuddle sessions on the couch, specialized training sessions, playtime in the courtyard, or quiet time in a cozy space, each pet's unique needs are met with care and attention. Your pets will feel right at home, giving you peace of mind while you're away.
About: I have had a dog since my first memory up until 3 years ago we lost our 3rd family dog. I have 3 years of experience walking dogs and about a year of training experience at a doggy daycare. I understand what pets need and the care they deserve from everyday operation at the facility I work at. I acquired a B.S. in Animal Science from Cal Poly Pomona to strengthen my understanding of animal health and welfare. I’m currently working towards my trainers certification, which is done at home at my own pace. I have an empty and free schedule to dedicate all my time to giving your best friend a positive experience!!! I have a 10 foot high fence and 8 foot surrounding barriers. My yard can accommodate 5-6 large dogs for them to run around and play comfortably. I also take dogs on 15-30 minute walks giving them opportunities to sniff and explore their environment just like they were meant to!
“Amy was great with our boys who needed time with her to hangout, twice daily feeding, potty breaks, and walks outside and fetch at the park. I was very happy with her daily check ins with us and letting us know how they were doing. Highly recommend and hope to book with her again!”
“I had an absolutely wonderful experience with our Rachel! She was exceptional from start to finish—caring, responsible, communicative, and clearly loves dogs. I felt completely comfortable knowing my dog was in such good hands. She kept me updated, sent pictures, and treated my dog like one of her own. It was such a relief to know he was happy, safe, and well cared for while I was away. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, loving, and dependable dog sitter. I will definitely be booking with her again!”
About: I have loved animals since I was a child and have always grown up in a household with many different pets. I have experience caring for both cats and dogs, including senior dogs who may need extra patience, attention, and care. I frequently pet sit for family and friends, and they often rely on me to pet sit because they know I am responsible, loving, and caring. I enjoy spending time with animals, keeping them comfortable and safe, and making sure they receive the love, attention, and fun they need while their owners are away! I’m a student athlete, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give pets the care and attention they need. I’m available for boarding pretty much everyday, my schedule can vary depending on my sports schedule which is only a few hours throughout the day, so feel free to send me a quick message with the time you need care, and I can confirm my availability. I want every pet in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and at home. I’m happy to follow each pet’s routine and provide whatever they need to feel comfortable, whether that means having their own space, being separated from my pets, getting extra attention, or having plenty of playtime. For dogs, I can provide walks, exercise, and trips to the dog park when appropriate. I’m also happy to care for pets in their own home and follow their usual routines. My goal is to make sure every pet feels secure, cared for, and loved while their owner is away.
About: I have over 20 years of experience raising pets and have undergone professional training in veterinary care; I know how to care for both puppies and senior dogs. Pet care is a prioritized part of my weekly schedule. My typical routine includes dedicated blocks of time every day for pet activities: energetic morning walks, engaging mid-day play or check-ins, and relaxing evening walks. By keeping a stable schedule, I help pets maintain their regular home routines, minimizing stress and ensuring they get plenty of exercise and affection every day. 这个问题在 Rover 上主要是向宠主展示你对两种场景（自己家寄养 vs 客户家上门/代看）的具体照顾细节，突出你的安全性、环境适应能力和对宠主隐私/财产的尊重。 你可以直接使用以下模版，涵盖了这两种场景的回答： 推荐综合回答（兼顾自己家与客户家） In My Home (Boarding / Daycare): When pets stay at my home, I treat them like family! I keep my living space clean, fully pet-proofed, and completely safe. They have a designated comfortable spot for sleeping and resting, as well as plenty of room for indoor play. I strictly follow their familiar routine from home—including feeding schedules, exercise times, and potty breaks—to help them settle in comfortably and feel stress-free. In Your Home (House Sitting / Drop-in Visits / Dog Walking): When caring for pets in your home, my top priority is maintaining their comfort, security, and normal daily routine in their own environment. I carefully follow all of your care instructions, respecting your home and personal privacy at all times. Whether it’s giving timed meals, providing engaging play, cleanups, or walking, I ensure your pet stays happy and comfortable. Plus, I always keep you updated with photos and messages after every visit!
About: Growing up in India I used to rescue and help puppies find homes. I have experience working at adoption centers. I can walk and feed your dogs but am unfortunately not experienced with administering medicines or grooming. I will give lots of love and attention and take great care of your babies. I'm currently fully available to dedicate all my time to your babies. I have no commitments to work or any travel plans as of now. I live with 2 cats and unfortunately cannot host any dogs at my house. Would be happy to house-sit your dogs and also available for drop-in visits. I can host cats and kittens that are comfortable with other cats.
“Amazing dog person. Very easy to talk with and his experience really helped guided me and my dog. Would highly recommend for first timers or anyone one looking for a caring knowledgeable caretaker.”
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.
We had a wonderful first-time experience using Rover, and we feel so lucky to have found Amy. She provided frequent updates and photos of our fur baby—just enough to reassure us that he was doing well and give us peace of mind while we were on vacation. Amy truly went above and beyond. She spent quality time cuddling with him, took him on extra walks, and even kindly took out the trash for us. We will definitely be booking Amy again in the future and highly recommend her to our coworkers and friends!
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.

FAQs for House Sitting - Whittier
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Whittier on Rover is $37.74 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 15,472 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Whittier. 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 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 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 Whittier. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
