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!

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.

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 🩷

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.

In the early morning’s and evenings I am available for walks, play time, training reinforcement, as well as clean up and any additional help needed while you’re away. During the weekends- I’m available all day Saturday-Mondays for walks and plenty of enrichment time! I have a highly energetic dog to keep your pet company!

I will crate your pet if needed for their own safety.

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.

About: I've worked with big cats, primates, reptiles, and just about anything you can imagine when I used to work as Lead Caretaker at an animal sanctuary in Citrus County, FL. I was in charge of feeding, cleaning, enhancement, and food inventory. I then spent many years in Panama, where I volunteered for "Amigos de los Animales," a charity organization that holds a monthly spay and neuter clinic. There, I supported veterinarians and helped monitor and revive dogs and cats after their procedures. I have always had dogs, cats, and birds in my life—all rescues. I have helped my furry kids through epilepsy, congestive heart failure, eye issues, crippling arthritis, behavioral problems, end-of-life care, and cancer. They are all over the rainbow bridge now and I miss them deeply. Medicating, wound care, and grooming are second nature to me. Since, I've relocated back to Florida and have begun housesitting and petsitting. I have my own freelance digital marketing business, so I can work from anywhere and my schedule is very flexible. I am a very neat and clean person who will be available 24/7 for your pet/s. Animals are my favorite people. I am a digital nomad who works from anywhere and am extremely flexible with my schedule. Just a quiet space to work, decent internet, and some furry company is perfect for me. I care for pets as if they are my own. I also understand pets who need space or time to develop trust. I'm especially good with problem animals, large animals, and those who need extra care—like senior pets or those with health issues. For those guys who need a good run, I love to exercise outdoors.

About: I don’t just watch dogs—I engage with them. I have a passion for training, so I naturally reinforce good behavior, structure, and basic commands while I’m with your dog. I’m patient and attentive, whether I’m working with a young dog building habits or a senior dog who needs a calm, gentle approach. My goal is for your dog to feel safe, cared for, and more balanced when you return. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I structure my schedule so I can give each pet my full attention during visits or stays, making sure they feel safe, cared for, and comfortable. I care for pets in their own home by keeping everything as familiar and stress-free as possible. I follow their established routine closely and pay attention to their comfort, body language, and behavior. I make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and not alone, while also keeping the home tidy and respected at all times.

About: I bring over two years of professional, hands-on experience working with established pet care companies, caring for both cats and dogs of all sizes, breeds, temperaments, and special needs. My experience includes everything from high-energy, playful pets to shy, anxious, and senior animals who require patience, consistency, and a calm, gentle approach. My care style is highly attentive and individualized. I take the time to understand each pet’s personality, comfort level, and routine so I can provide care that feels safe, familiar, and stress-free. Whether it’s structured walks, quiet companionship, enrichment play, or simply a calm presence, I adjust fully to what each animal needs in the moment. I also have experience following detailed care instructions, maintaining clean and comfortable environments, and administering basic medications when needed. I’m confident reading both canine and feline behavior, including body language, boundaries, and stress signals, which helps me build trust quickly with even shy or sensitive pets. Growing up in a home surrounded by both cats and dogs, animal care has always been second nature to me. Combined with my professional experience, it has shaped a calm, observant, and highly reliable approach to every pet I care for. I previously worked with Pawsitivity Pet Services, a professional pet care company in Virginia, where I received a letter of recommendation from the founder recognizing my reliability and dedication to animal care. I have since relocated to Florida. Verified references are also available upon request. 🐾❤️ Pet care is a central part of my weekly routine, and I’ve structured my schedule to be flexible, reliable, and fully focused on providing consistent care. I recently relocated to Florida, and I currently have open availability throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings depending on client needs. I prioritize being dependable, punctual, and communicative so pet parents always feel confident their pets are in consistent, attentive care. I take the time to follow each pet’s routine closely and ensure every visit is completed with care, attention, and reliability. Whether it’s ongoing weekly care or occasional bookings, I’m committed to providing trustworthy service that owners can depend on. I provide pet care exclusively in the client’s home, where pets are most comfortable in their familiar environment and routines. I follow all instructions closely to ensure each pet’s safety, well-being, and consistency in their daily care. I focus on maintaining a secure, respectful, and attentive environment during every visit, including feeding schedules, walks, litter box maintenance, playtime, and any special care needs such as medications or specific routines. My goal is to ensure pets feel comfortable and well cared for while owners are away, while also giving owners peace of mind that their home and pets are being treated with respect and responsibility at all times.

FAQs for House Sitting - Whittier

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of June 2026, there are 448 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:

  • 97% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% 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.
