“Lucy was amazing! She was super responsive to all our messages and very attentive to our dog, Blue. She walked him several times each day, spending lots of time at our house to make sure he received all the love and playing that he needed while we were traveling.”
“Christine was fantastic! The fur babies were happy and well cared for, and she went the extra mile to get our mail, and the house was spotless when we returned. We really appreciated the thorough communication during her stay and concern for their well being!”
“Marylynn was an amazing sitter! Our animals absolutely loved her and she was so attentive! We received lots of pictures of our fur babies while we were gone and they looked so happy! She will be our go-to sitter for any of our upcoming trips! I couldn’t have asked for better care 🩷”
“Melissa was absolutely wonderful. My cat flapjack loved her. Took good care of him. Came home to a spotless house and a very happy kitty. Will be booking her again in the future!”
About: I am very trusting to watch your home or take care of your fur babies. Animals are smart and very aware and they need love support and companionship. I am very responsible and compassionate. I have had three cats, rescued strays, a Pomeranian and currently have a pet rabbit ! Pet care is super flexible which is what I need. It also means I will be taking care of animals which I have had plenty of my own. Dogs needs vary. I like to play with them in the backyard, and make sure they stay happy and healthy. I always make sure they have food and water and take them out for fresh air or to use the bathroom. Some dogs require more exercise or maybe even a crate.
“Jennifer was amazing with our dog! She maintained great contact, keeping us updated with pictures and text messages. She followed instructions to the letter and showed great attention to detail. It was July 4th weekend and fireworks were really terrifying for our boy. Jennifer handled him like a pro! We had never used a house sitter before and were anxious how our dog would do. We had NOTHING to worry about with Jennifer. We are already talking about planning another trip since this worked out so well. I give Jennifer a 10 on a 10 scale! She was FABULOUS!”
“Christa was PHENOMENAL! She took such great care of our puppies. She was flexible to all of their unique needs and puppy behaviors while sticking to their routine. Christa was also very communicative, professional, and kind. She made it feel natural to not worry about the pups because we knew they were in good hands.”
“Ms. Pearl and family took excellent care of my fur baby. Sent updates everyday they had him. Took lots of pictures to keep posted. I will most definitely book again with ms Pearl.”

“Abigail helped me on short notice in an emergency situation and was able to take over care when another sitter didn’t show. She did an incredible job giving updates, following care instructions, and loving on the cats. She left the home better than she found it and her deep care for animals is evident in both her words and her actions!”

“We are grateful to have had a positive experience with Aubrey! She took great care of both our 11 year old deaf staffy mix and home while pet/house sitting. She sent some cute photos and was prompt with the arrival time. She even went out of her way to do a meet and greet before booking. Would recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter.”
About: I grew up with dogs and cats and I have the most wonderful rescue dog. I'm an engineer, I work a traveling rotation so during my 14 days of work, I use this service to help my dog from being inside all day during the weeks I work. During my weeks off, I'm happy to return the favor. I love animals and will take the utmost care if you need someone to provide a little extra love while you're working. I work full time, but it's a travel rotation. During my 10 days off, I'm happy to swing by and make sure your dog gets a nice walk and friendly company during your long work shift. I live in a condo but bring my dog to the dog parks, dog beaches and out in social settings regularly. I rarely leave my dog at home unattended unless absolutely necessary. Many times I drop him at my family's house if I work extended hours.
“Jennifer was absolutely wonderful! She’s so sweet, and Bingo and Chloe adored her. I felt completely at ease knowing they were in such loving hands. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter!”
About: I’ve been a devoted pet owner for over 15 years, and that’s where my true experience and passion for animals comes from. Caring for pets has always been a natural part of my life, not just a job. Over the years, I’ve also dog-sat for many different dogs for friends, family, and neighbors, gaining hands-on experience with a variety of personalities, energy levels, and routines. I understand that every pet is unique and deserves patience, attention, and love. I take pride in making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away, whether that means sticking closely to their routine, providing plenty of affection and playtime, or simply being a calm and reassuring presence. My goal is to support my community by giving pet parents peace of mind, knowing their animals are in great hands. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always prioritize their wellbeing, happiness, and safety! I work from home full-time, which allows me to have an extremely open and flexible schedule. I’m able to give pets my full attention throughout the day, including frequent bathroom breaks, playtime, feedings, and check-ins as needed. Time is never an issue for me, and I’m happy to accommodate puppies, senior dogs, or pets who need extra care, supervision, or routine consistency. My home is a safe, calm, clean, and loving environment. All pets are welcome on furniture, beds, and any cozy spot while in my care.
About: Animal lover who has cared for dogs at a doggy daycare, including distributing medication. Will also care for other animals if needed. Thank you for the opportunity to care for your fury loved one! I’m currently out of work which leaves me with plenty of time to care for your pup. The only responsibility I have is my children who will be in school majority of the day anyway. If allowed they can also show your pets all the love in the world. I will keep your fur baby great company with lots of cuddles, walks, and anything else needed. Willing to take long walks (30 minutes or more at once) if needed.

FAQs for House Sitting - Whittier
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 454 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.
