“Oh my goodness, our family has been blessed to have found Julie! She took such excellent care of our 2 pups: Walking them early before it got too hot, keeping on our schedule and being home for the majority of the day. My youngest pup is timid with new people and is deaf. But somehow Julie won her over as seen in pictures of them cozy together: ) Julie communicated with updates, pictures and questions. In addition to all of this, Julie watered my plants and left my home in the same condition that I left it. That made returning home after 8 days away so much easier. Thank you for everything Julie!”
“Jennifer stepped in for us in a pinch (last minute) and we could not have been more pleased with her in every aspect. She was extremely sweet to our small dog who was highly stressed given the circumstances. She cleaned up well and made sure our dog was well taken care of. We will definitely think of her next time we have to leave our dog behind. Thank you!”
“Lauren has watched River several times and she’s the best: quick to respond, so kind and caring with my pup and always reliable. I can’t say enough good stuff!!”
“Laura has been the best house/dog sitter we have ever had. She went beyond her dog sitting duties in every way. She left our home spotless, took Goose to the vet, sent daily updates and photos and looked after our home as if it was her own. I can’t recommend her enough and if needed we would have her back in an instant.”
“Really helped us out in a pinch. Our dogs loved her, she was very understanding, communicative, and clean. I’ll definitely try to rebook with her when needed!”
“So thankful to Megan for squeezing us in when we had to leave town suddenly for a family emergency. It gave us great peace of mind knowing our pup would be with a familiar sitter and well taken care of.”
About: I've spent years caring for animals with a variety of personalities, ages, and needs. Living with a Great Dane has made me very comfortable handling large and giant breeds, and caring for my Labrador through her 17th year gave me plenty of experience with the extra patience and attention senior dogs need. I'm also experienced in administering insulin injections and following medication schedules for pets with medical needs. No matter your animal’s age, size, or routine, I'll make sure they receive attentive, compassionate care and feel right at home while you're away. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I have a flexible schedule that allows me to make time for the pets in my care. I typically finish work by 3 PM, and I also have two days each week where I work from home, giving me extra availability and flexibility throughout the day. When needed, I can also use my lunch break to check in on your pets and make sure they’re doing well. I’m available for evening and weekend care as well, allowing me to provide consistent attention, companionship, and support for your pet’s daily routine. I provide pet care in my client’s home, where I can help pets feel comfortable by keeping their familiar routines and surroundings. I understand that every pet has their own needs, so I focus on providing attentive, reliable care that includes feeding, playtime, walks, medication needs, and plenty of companionship. I’m available for weekday visits, evenings, and weekends, and I also offer daily walks and evening walks to help keep pets happy, active, and well cared for while their owners are away.
“Erika went over and beyond for me and my baby. She was extremely attentive, alerted me to a rash that turns badly really fast and now he is on antibiotics. Very thorough, lots of updates and pictures. Could not have had a better person take care of your babies.”
“Sophie and Jason are a gem! They treated Cooper like their own. I would not hesitate to hire them because your fur baby will in extraordinary hands. We have hired them for overnighters, daytime and evenings. Each time they had given Cooper exceptional care. I would hire them over and over again. And you should too!!!!”
“We loved having Raven sit for us! She was super sweet, updated us the perfect amount, and clearly took amazing care of our kiddos. Will for sure be our go to sitter from now on ☺️”
“Julie was excellent! Our girl Moxie suffers from separation anxiety and Julie knew how to support her while we were gone. In addition, our house was so clean you wouldn’t have known anyone else had been there. Thank you, Julie!”
“Isis was so sweet and our dogs seemed to really like her! She stayed in our home and took good care of it along with our babies! I absolutely recommend her for anyone looking for a sitter. She kept us updated with their feedings and pictures throughout the day. It made my Fur Baby Mama heart happy! 💙🐾💙”
About: I have taken care of pets, walking, feeding, etc. since I was 12 years old. Not just dogs and cats, but also reptiles and amphibians. I am available before school (I’m a high school teacher) 6am - 7 am and after work, depending on location from 5 - 9 pm. I currently do not offer care for pets in my own home, however I am able to spend as much time as needed with your pet to make them comfortable while you are away.
About: I take the time to understand each dog's unique personality, needs, and preferences. Whether it's a spirited puppy or a senior dog needing extra care, I tailor my services accordingly. I offer flexible scheduling to accommodate your busy life and your dog's needs, whether it's daily walks, overnight stays, or special requests for your pups. I aim to maintain your pet's familiar surroundings, minimizing stress and anxiety. I adhere to your pet's usual routines, feeding schedules, and exercise preferences that is needed
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and horses for more than 20 years. I can provide advanced medical care for dogs of all ages, but especially for our aging friends! I also love cats but I do have less experience with cats. I am a fully remote nurse practitioner so I will have time for potty breaks throughout the day and time for 1-2 longer walks daily. For my client’s home I will try to keep your pet on a similar schedule to what they are used to or maybe even more walks if they are up for it (I LOVE walks and hikes). I have worked with dog trainers on positive reinforcement and treat training so that is the type of care I have given my dogs. I think our animals deserve all the love for the short time they are with us and I will give them all my love!
About: I am a huge animal lover! I have cared for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, activity levels, and many that need a little extra love and attention. My husband and I have three dogs: a beagle mix and two extra large labs, so I am comfortable caring for dogs that pull, prefer to keep to themselves, and even those that have separation anxiety. I am a young professional that works full time but my schedule is pretty flexible. I would love to drop by for a potty break and play session during the day or in the evening! I understand that trusting your fur baby and your home to a stranger is a big decision. That’s why I am committed to following your explicit directions and sending lots of photos and updates during my time with your pup! I will care for your pup and your home like it is my own! I do not bring my dogs along so I can give yours my undivided attention.

FAQs for House Sitting - Witherbee
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 1,616 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Witherbee. 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 Witherbee 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 Witherbee 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 Witherbee 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.

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.
