About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life. It was a part of our daily chores to help take care of them. I have taken care of everything from helping train a puppy to giving medication to a senior level dog. I’m currently working full time in the music industry, but I get to work from home, so I have plenty of time to play with your pups/kitties and give them the attention they need. I am available on most weekends and during the week is flexible I will make sure your pet (and you) feel as safe as possible with me being in their home. Showing as much love and care to help your dog or cat get used to me, as well as sending update pictures as needed or requested!

About: I have always grown up with dogs around and in first grade, I got my first cat. My dad worked at pet smart and my mom was a dog groomer, I have grown up with an affinity for caring for pets. Throughout my childhood we took in senior dogs and it’s something I consider myself to specialize in. I have been house sitting and pet sitting since I was 14. I currently work full time from Saturday to Wednesday. My workdays typically last from 8am to 4:30-5:00pm. Thursday and Friday are my days off and I am fully free on those days.

About: With ten years of pet care and sitting experience, I’ve always had a genuine love for animals and have experience caring for cats and dogs of different personalities, ages, and energy levels. I’m patient, attentive, and treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m comfortable with feeding, playtime, walks, keeping pets on their normal routines, and giving them plenty of love and attention. I work from home and have a lot of open availability to be able to provide the care and attention needed when looking after animals! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I make sure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water, get regular walks or playtime, and receive plenty of attention and comfort. I keep their environment clean, safe, and calm, and I always respect any specific instructions you provide.

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!!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in West on Rover is $51.36 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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.
