About: I had the wonderful opportunity to have pets (the majority being doggos) since I was four! I truly just love being around animals! I sadly can’t have any animals in my residence now hence why I am here, I do want to say that I will do my very best to make sure any pets are well taken care of and loved when I am pet sitting! I am looking forward to future opportunities!! As of right now my schedule is pretty open, especially with summer coming up. Mornings especially but, we can always speak further about that when figuring outs dates that are needed for sitting. As of right now, when I visit back home to see my mom I help her with our two dogs, Sandra and Zeus. I also help out with our chicks. My biggest thing is just communicating, if there are specific ways an animal needs to be looked after I am very willing to help I just would prefer we talk about it extensively, as well as making a list of priorities for the pets.
“Kim was great and my fur babies seemed to love them! She was very responsive and answered all communications quickly. I will defeintly use Kim in the future to help me watch my babies.”
“We really appreciate Cheyenne and she gave our dogs and chickens the attention they needed. Cheyenne's attention to detail and great communication helped us to feel that we could get away without any worries we highly recommend Cheyenne for dog walks and feeding and dog snuggles too. Our road is not in the best shape but she never complained and never missed a beat.”
About: There's nothing more enjoyable than going on an adventure with your four-legged bestie. Whether you want an easy stroll around the neighborhood or a hike on a local dog-friendly trail, I'm your dog walker. I've been a pet parent since the age of 4 - both cats and dogs - and currently have 3 rescue dogs - Stella Blue, Nutter Butter, and Ruby Sue. I owned a very successful dog walking company before moving to North Carolina. I also worked for PetSmart as a dog trainer, and I'm certified in dog CPR. I work primarily from home as a freelance writer, so my availability is rather flexible. But to ensure I meet the needs of all my clients, a little bit of notice when booking visits would be appreciated. I will give your doggies so many belly rubs, ear scratches, and cuddles that (hopefully) they won't miss you too much while you're out. I treat every client's dog as if it were my own fur baby.
“Lillie kept me up to date and handled everything with my babies nicely. Even though they acted out she adv me that she was able to keep everything in hand and calm them down. She even went the extra mile to help my one dog eat better when he was scared. I appreciated her extra care while I was away.”
About: I have a love for all animals since I can remember. Especially dogs. 🐾 Having had dogs my entire life and getting my own girl named bella I rescued at 3 months old who had a beautiful long life passing a year ago. I know how to handle multiple dogs at once as i’ve watched 6 animals all together cats and dogs. I am very experienced in this. I have tended to medical needs, bathing, extra care for scared animals, walks with multiple dogs and more. I really am a natural caretaker to fur babies. I worked at a holistic pet store for a while and learned much about dog healthcare which benefited my dogs and other people's dogs lives I was able to give advice to. Walks, outside time, & play time is essential for your pup. And of course, treats if provided! I will go over each dogs needs prior to watching. I will treat your dog like my own and they will get immense love staying with me and bella. I usually also offer energy healing & massage if I notice the pup over can benefit. I currently work from home so am open and available to care for your fur baby and will be with them all the time! They will get so much care and love. I will be able to spend time with them play with them all day, walk them and make sure they eat on time. Really, they will be with me all the time. I set up a cozy space for everyone for sleeping time. They can also sun bath in our patio over looking beautiful pine trees.
About: I’ve owned both cats and dogs my whole life, and more recently I’ve owned chickens as well. Starting with cats, I’ve fed and cleaned up after the ones we’ve owned, as well as taken care of the cats and kittens we fostered over the years. I’ve bottle fed them, helped give vaccines, and everything else in between when it comes to raising and taking care of them. I have also helped pet sit many of our neighbors as well as friends cats over the years. We have also owned several dogs, and I have tons of experience with walking and feeding them. We currently own 3; 2 small dogs and 1 big dog, so I have learned how to take care of many sizes of dog. Like with cats, I’ve also walked and fed my neighbors dogs many times when they’ve gone out of town. Lastly, we’ve raised more chickens than I can count in the past 7ish years, and I’ve taken care of chicks we got from breeders, as well as chicks born from our own hens and roosters. All of our chickens free range and are egg layers, so I treat them like any other pet and not like livestock. I have experience feeding them, fending off hawks and other predators, putting them to bed every night, as well as animal-proofing the coops themselves. For almost my whole life, I’ve helped feed our cats and scooped their litter just about every day. I also walk and feed each of our dogs throughout the day. Finally, I feed and put up our chickens many times throughout each week. I follow any instructions my clients may have and can cater to their pets needs. I love on and treat others pets the same way I would with my own, and have done so for neighbors, family, friends, as well as many others.
“Cyndi saved our last trip as a family before our oldest goes off to college. Our dog care plans fell through and Cyndi was both flexible with our schedule, as well as our large and timid dog. I cannot thank her enough.”
“Carole is incredible! She took great care of our pups, taking pictures of them and leaving us notes for each drop in visit letting us know they were doing great! She was very kind, easy to reach, and showed up to each visit. We appreciated how easy it was to work with her. Thanks for taking care of our dogs and even giving our cat some love!”
“Thanks for taking good care of Bogart and giving snacks to our chickens! The pictures were nice to receive each visit :) It’s nice to leave town and know your animals are well cared for.”
“Tiana went above and beyond to care for my cat while I was away! She played with him a lot gave him tons of attention, and sent plenty of pictures and videos! I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”
“We came to Bryson City to ride the Great Smoky Mountains Railroad, but didn't want to leave our four Shelties unattended in our RV at the campground. I found Amanda on Rover and contacted her about booking a visit. She was so easy to work with. She came over to our RV the day before her scheduled appointment to meet us and get acquainted with our dogs. On the day of our train trip, she showed up right on sent lots of photos and a complete report on our drugs and her visit. 5 stars for Amanda!”
“Amy was available last minute for my nervous dog. Sent me photos and kept me updated which I highly appreciate. Will be using Amy again when we go out of town. Thank you for caring for my Mia!”
About: I have grown up with dogs and cats, lizards, geckos, turtles and toads, and have always loved the companionship that they bring. I am always surrounded by animals as they bring me so much joy.I have done various pet sitting, dog walking and pet&house sitting gigs and services, and have also worked on a farm. I'm unable to have a pet as of right now with my work situation (outdoor adventure guide) and would love to take care of your precious little family member and give them the best company while you're gone! I work part time with a random schedule so I am available pretty frequently and for most days, either for part of it or the whole day. I will gladly watch over your place and help out with anything else there if needed on top of providing great care for your beloved pet

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Whittier
Tia was an incredible sitter for Monty during our mountain trip. After 3+ days in a car, he needed proper exercise, and she took him and a surprise guest (friend's new lab puppy) on a hiking adventure all day. He came back exhausted and happy. Tia went out of her way to accommodate our schedule and meet us wherever we needed. Can't recommend highly enough !

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 185 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Whittier. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Whittier stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.

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.
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.
