About: Hi! I’m a dog mom who takes pet care seriously and understands that every pet has unique needs. I have hands-on experience caring for my own dog, including daily walks, enrichment, supplements, medications, special feeding routines, and monitoring changes in behavior or health. I’m especially knowledgeable about caring for small dogs and pets with mobility concerns. Through caring for my own dog, I’ve learned the importance of preventative care, safe exercise, elevated feeding setups when appropriate, joint health support, and following veterinarian recommendations closely. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions, whether that means preparing bone broth toppers, adding supplements, maintaining medication schedules, monitoring food intake, or sticking to a specific routine. I know that small details matter when it comes to keeping pets happy, healthy, and comfortable. Communication is important to me, so I’ll keep you updated with photos and notes while you’re away. My goal is simple: to provide the same level of care, attention, and peace of mind that I’d want for my own dog. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, a senior who needs a little extra support, or somewhere in between, they’ll be treated like family. I’m currently searching for full-time work opportunities, so I and have daily availability to spend great outdoors time with your pup at any time of day. Safety comes first in everything I do. I carefully follow feeding routines, medication schedules, supplement instructions, exercise restrictions, and any veterinarian recommendations provided by owners. I’m especially attentive to pets with mobility concerns, senior pets, or pets with special routines. I pay close attention to behavior, appetite, hydration, and overall well-being and will communicate regularly so you can feel confident your pet is happy, safe, and cared for while you’re away.
“Austin was great with Mara! He sent detailed updates and great photos. She also had an ear infection and he was on top of giving her meds as well. Will definitely use him again.”
About: I have dog sat many times for friends and family over the years. The most in depth experience i’ve had is my parents 11 year old rescue with a few health issues that i helped take care of the last year before moving to Nashville. I am a musician so my schedule is very flexible and i can plan my days around pet care since i usually work at night. i live on a farm, so if you need me to watch your pets at my house they will have a lot of outdoor safe space and a nice spot in my cozy home.
“Elyssa was wonderful! I received daily pictures and updates as to how my animals were doing. And I appreciated both. It made my vacation much more relaxing, not to have to worry about my babies while I was gone. I would highly recommend Elyssa and I will be using her again.”
“Lexi was amazing! Ozzy is very particular about who watches her but she gave Lexi no problems at all! She gave me updates and photos of Ozzy throughout the days which I very much appreciate as someone who doesn’t like to leave their dog behind and misses her very much. Lexi was also able to work with me last minute as I had a previous sitter fall through very last minute. I would recommend Lexi to anyone who needs a sitter!”
“Chris showed our dog man a very nice time while we went away, and left our home cleaner than we left it ! We will definitely be sniffing the streets for his servicing the next time we have to leave town.”
“Mikayla loved our pup so well and was incredibly patient with his nerves. She kept us updated daily and was constantly trying to make our pup’s life better! She was a great pet and house sitter. We will definitely use her again!”
“My dogs were well cared for with Sophie while we were away, as was my apartment! Sophie cleaned up after her stay and even put our grocery delivery away for us which we did not ask her to do. My dogs had a wonderful time, thank you Sophie!”
“Another great stay for my dog with Lindsey! Lindsey was right on time with arrival and departure and my house was clean and my dog well cared for. I love the pictures Lindsey sends me letting me know my dog is happy.”
“Nicole is awesome!!! She took excellent care of my dog & my house and sent me pictures and messages to let me know how my fur baby was doing. I felt very comfortable leaving town for a week and knowing Nicole was caring for Kenli. I highly recommend Nicole and I will definitely have her care for Kenli again!!! Thank you Nicole!!”
“She was such a blessing and overall a great person to watch my baby dezzi ! She was able to help at last minute i wish i could give more than 5 stars ? , She made Dezzi feel at home ! I will def be rebooking soon☺️”
“Melissa was the BEST! She got our shyest kitty out of hiding with her kindness and patience. She has such a calm demeanor that made our dog and 2 cats fall in love with her! She went above and beyond to send pictures, updates, and make our babies feel loved while we were out of town!! Will definitely be booking with her again.”
“Malesa stayed with our two chihuahuas for 7 days. She was amazing, she even cooked for them! My puppies didn’t even miss us!! We are so grateful that she stayed with our puppies!”
“Tevin was amazing! He kept us updated with constant messages and photos every day. They shared more than 10 day at home and it's clear that he loves our fur baby. Also the house was clean and organised. We are so pleased with Tevin services. Definitely, highly recommended!!”
“Our pups had a safe and fun week with Shelby. She made sure they were fed, exercised and got lots of love and cuddle time. Our youngest pup who is still pretty shy with new people warmed up to Shelby very quickly.”
“I absolutely could not have picked a better sitter! Alesha took care of my cats and my house for a week while I was out of the country. She respected my property and was extremely communicative, and really set my mind at ease. She went above and beyond what I expected in every way, did my laundry, cleaned out and organized my fridges, scrubbed out my filthy kitchen sink so it shines! My cats were sick when she came and one of them had lost weight. I came back to healthy cats and that one has obviously gained weight. My cats loved her judging from the pics she sent me. If you want the best, hire Alesha!”
“Sabrina is an excellent pet sitter and care-taker. We felt comfortable and completely reassured that our 16 year old lab and 7 year old cat were in very capable hands. Sabrina made sure to send us updates and was very thorough about following through with our instructions during the house sitting. We will definitely be contacting her again when needed and highly recommend her for taking care of your fur babies!”
“I would leave 3 stars but maybe I should've been more clear about my expectations. I assumed "house sitting" meant stay at my house and spend time with my dog as I would if I were there. In this case it seemed more like several drop-ins and an overnight that started around 11pm. I have a porch security camera that showed the sitter coming in for an hour or 2 then leaving for many hours. My dog spent more time in his crate than out. Again, I didn't voice my expectation so I would just encourage others to have a very in depth conversation beforehand. Lesson learned.”
“sydney is an absolute dream come true!!! she kept me up to date with my boys while i was gone, walked them, and even kept my house is great condition. the definition of stress free! will definitely use again!”
“Dana was amazing with my Mabel girl! She’s a lot to handle and she did so good with her, send so many updated and photos & even stayed with her an extra day when my travel plans got cancelled! Definitely will book with her again ❤️”
The median cost per night for house sitting in West is $55
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - West
We would hire her a million more times. All of the animals loved her!!! I was so nervous about having someone I didn’t know watch my babies and she definitely went above and beyond. She was very thorough about what they needed and what they liked. We received so many pictures of them which also put my mind at ease. If I could give more stars I would!!!

FAQs for House Sitting - West
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in West on Rover is $51.36 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 2,497 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across West. 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 West 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 West 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 West 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.
