“Emily did an awesome job taking care of my dogs for a week while I went on a trip. She communicated very well, sent pictures every day, and was able to care for my two high energy dogs without any issues. I would definitely recommend and will be asking her to dog sit for me again for future trips”
“This is the third time Emma has stayed with Goose and again we came home to a clean house and tired dog. Emma is great! We’re looking forward to having her dog sit multiple more times this year.”
“We are very fortunate to have found Jenna and Tula. From our very first meeting, she made us feel completely comfortable leaving our dogs in her care and the pups all got along great. During the stay, Jenna was always in touch, sending daily updates and pictures. It was clear that they were having a great time enjoying her and Tula's company, and we could see how much attention and love they were receiving. We returned home to happy, well-cared-for dogs, and we couldn’t have asked for more. Jenna truly goes above and beyond and we will definitely be reaching out the next time we need help with our fur babies.”
“Gabby was amazing! She was very responsive, kept us updated, and took excellent care of our girl while we were away. We came home to a happy pup and would absolutely work with her again. Highly recommend!”
“Kristin was AMAZING!! I would rebook her in a heartbeat. She sent updates frequently and walked the dogs. You can tell that she enjoys animals and giving them the best care. Highly recommend!”
About: I am a college student who is home for summer, so my schedule is very open and flexible. I’ve had dogs all my life. My family dog I’ve had all my life is deaf and pretty blind, so I’ve got experience taking care of older or disabled dogs. I should be available anytime during the day, and depending on the day I could house sit overnight. I am not working any jobs currently and am very available. I am able to adapt to different environments quickly, so if you give me a rundown on how you want things to be done around your home, I’ll make sure to listen well and house sit accordingly. My number one priority when I take care of dogs is their health and safety, my number two priority is for them to have fun!
“Vanessa did a great job taking care of my dog Oscar for four days. She kept me updated with pictures and reports on how Oscar was doing while I was gone. Oscar was obviously happy with the time he spent with Vanessa as he was calm and well adjusted when I got back. Vanessa has a background in Vet care, so I think that is helpful too. I would highly recommend Vanessa to anyone looking for a dog sitter.”
About: I've been trusted with peoples animals since I was 10 years old, and have always had a passion for caregiving. With 4 years of veterinary experience and a bachelor’s in Animal Science, I provide attentive, knowledgeable care for pets of all ages. I’m comfortable recognizing health concerns, providing individualized care, supporting senior pets, and helping shy or anxious animals feel safe and comfortable. I genuinely love getting to know your pet’s unique personality and routine. I understand that communication regarding their wellbeing is paramount during your absence so regular updates will always be provided. I have considerable experience caring for pets with chronic conditions and special needs including blindness, deafness, amputees, anxiety, allergies, IBD, IVDD, hip dysplasia, arthritis, CHF, cancer, CKD, Diabetes, and thyroid disorders. I understand how difficult it can be to leave your baby in the hands of anyone else, so it will be my mission to make your experience as stress-free and comfortable as possible. I am currently unemployed, so I have a very flexible schedule. My preferred work days would range Monday-Thursday. Weekends and holidays may be available upon request. I consider myself to be a reliable, ethical, and trustworthy caregiver. My belief is that my character is who I am when no one is watching. Therefore, every pet and/or their home that I take care of will be treated with dignity and respect. I will strictly adhere to feeding, medication, and exercise routines. And most importantly, I will love on and comfort your baby like they were my own.
“We would definitely hire Abby again, our dog loved her and she did a great job—following all of our instructions and she was also super proactive and communicative. The house was also immaculate when we came back!”
“Lilli kept our dog for a week at our house. She did an amazing job. Gave our doggo lots of exercise and companionship. We came back to a happy dog and a clean house. I have no hesitations in recommending her!”
“Tressa is truly amazing. We had an AWFUL experience with another (non-rover) sitter and I had true PTSD with leaving them with someone else. Tressa ensured her communication was precise, she sent multiple photos and videos daily, took my dogs on hikes and walks, and left the house spotless. There is a reason she is booked out for months!!! I cannot recommend her high enough!!!”
About: WFH dog lover seeking four-legged coworker 🐕🐾 I spend my weekdays working from home and would love a four-legged coworker to join me. Your pup will enjoy mid day walks, play breaks, and lots of cuddles in between meetings. I’m home all day, so there’s no long stretches alone. Whether your dog is energetic and loves adventure walks or is more of a cuddle-on-the-couch type, I’m happy to match their vibe. I live in a two bedroom apartment by myself, so there would be plenty of space for your pup to play or lounge. I am also available to dogsit and available for drop in walks! I like to get active on the weekends and would love a dog buddy to run and hike with.
“Brighid exudes calm capabilities and a gentle nature. Our senior pup loved her constant companionship while we were away. She left our home tidy and even washed the sheets and remade the bed she slept in. Who does that! She was quick with communication and sent us feedback during our trip. I’d happily hire her again!!”
“Britney was wonderful! Very responsive and communicated (with the best photos!) throughout the time she house-sat for us. She was professional, tidy and the pups enjoyed the time with her. We're thrilled with Britney and can't wait to have her sit for us again soon!”
“Emily was absolutely perfect with my boys. When i returned home the house was clean and dogs were very happy! She sent me pictures of the boys every day and i loved that. I would highly recommend Emily 👍🏻”
“One of the nicest ladies I have ever met. She was attentive and loving to my animals. She took amazing care of my home. She was always very responsive. We will use her in the future for any trips that we take.”
“Jeremy and Megan were wonderful to work with. This was our first time using someone other than friends and family and I don’t think we could have found better. They are kind and communicative. Our dog, Porkchop took to them right away, and we feel our boy got all the love he longs for while we were away. We will definitely use Jeremy and Megan again! Highly recommend.”
“We needed a someone to watch after Lily who has separation anxiety, and gets lonely when we leave for an extended time. It was so nice that Shannon was there, as well as her sweet dog Wrangler. I’m sure lily was relieved to have their company! And I was put at ease that she was in good hands. Shannon is very reliable, clean and friendly. She even watered my plants. I would recommend her to anyone!”

FAQs for House Sitting - West End
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in West End on Rover is $61.05 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 415 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across West End. 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 End 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 End 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 End 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 West End. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
