“Melika is extremely attentive, responsive and very sweet to my Hank! Sends great photos and videos of my boy. I would definitely recommend her to friends and family!”
About: Hello! I have always had dogs growing up and I always had to take care of them. You know, doggy walks, taking the dogs for a potty break and feeding them. That didnt stop and continued throughout college since I helped my wife to take care of her foster doggies! We will take turns between weeks. We had an incredible experience since these dogs were able to get adopted. We recently lost our dog, Tucker at 12 years old and we’re not ready for another dog yet, but have a great home with a great big fenced in backyard, plus close to baseball fields from an elementary school and a great neighborhood for walks.
About: Hi, I've loved animals my whole life and I'm now a mom to two australian shepherds and three cats! My pets are my babies and they are such an important part of my life. I'll care for yours just like I would my own. Having two energetic aussies has taught me a lot about a dog's physical and mental needs. I've attended regular dog training classes for a year where I learned more about obedience, agility, trick training, and mental enrichment games. I'd love to do some of that with your pups too! Whether it's practicing basic commands, playing scent games or just playing fetch I'm happy to adapt to what your dog enjoys most! I'm a big believer in positive reinforcement and I'd be happy to use treats for rewards with your permission of course! Just let me know if your pet has any allergies or dietary restrictions. I'm also familiar with leash reactivity on walks and understand how important it is to respect each dog's boundaries and comfort level. I'm used to pets who are a little more nervous or anxious around strangers, having rescued feral cats and adopted a rescue dog myself! I totally understand that some fur babies need a little extra patience and I always give them the time and space they need to feel comfortable. I've volunteered at several animal rescues in different places I've lived, taking care of both cats and dogs of different age, breed and needs. I recently moved to the area and would love to continue caring for them in my own way! I love getting to know each pet's little quirks and personality. Whether your fur baby is full of energy or prefers taking things slow, I'll do my best to make sure they feel happy, comfortable, and cared for! I've also had experience caring for rabbits, rodents, cockatiels, and horses, so let me know if you need help with any other pets too. My dream is to basically live on a farm surrounded by animals someday. You can also expect plenty of pictures and updates while you're away. I know how meaningful they are! I'm currently home full-time so my schedule is very flexible, even for last-minute requests. Your pets will always be my priority and I'll do my best to match your schedule. I'm available on weekdays and weekends, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I'm a bit of a night owl so late night drop ins and walks are totally fine with me too. I love spending time with animals and I'll work around your pet's routine as much as possible! As a helicopter mom, I know how stressful it can be to leave your pets in someone else's care, especially when they have their own little habits and quirks. I'll always do my best to adapt to their personality and follow all your instructions. Please feel free to give as many details as you'd like. I'm also happy to administer medication if needed! I'm pretty careful about keeping doors closed and paying attention to my surroundings during walks with the dogs. My focus will be on your pets 100% of the time when I'm with them.
About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 7 years, and it’s something I genuinely love. I have experience with dogs of all sizes from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need extra care and attention. I treat every pet like family and always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Pet care is a regular and rewarding part of my weekly routine. I’m calm, dependable, and attentive to each pet’s needs making sure they get the right balance of exercise, playtime, and rest throughout the day. Pets stay in a clean, cozy, and pet-friendly space with plenty of room to relax or play, including a fully fenced yard where they can safely explore and enjoy the outdoors. There’s always someone home even if I need to step out briefly, my mom grandma or my boyfriend, who are both equally experienced and caring with pets, are always around to help. I usually introduce them during meet and greets so everyone feels comfortable and at ease
About: Big, small, or anything in between. I love every dog I meet. There will never be a dull moment with your dog and I between walking, playing, and constant belly scratches. My number one rule for taking care of dogs is that I’m not happy unless you and your dog are happy. I have a cockapoo puppy that is my best friend. I also had a 140lb leonberger who I cared for nearly 10 years. I have no problem with hard work so if your dog requires something extra don't worry. I have a flexible schedule and I love taking care of pets. Please let me know If you have any questions about my qualifications or abilities feel free to ask so I can best accommodate you and your dog! Let’s meet and greet!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - West Gate
Carolina took great care of my two cats while we were away for 9 days! She was reliable, attentive, and made sure they were happy and well taken care of. She was on time every day and kept me updated with pictures and messages. I would definitely recommend Carolina and would love to have her watch our cats again!
Kiera was so patient and gentle with my new rescue. What was supposed to be a 30 minute drop in turned into a 60 minute struggle when he started to freak out and refused to go back in his crate. While others might’ve been scared of him or give up, Kiera worked with him and me to get him safely in his crate as was so understanding about the whole situation. Definitely someone I’d trust to watch my pets anytime as long as she was willing to come back
Marjorie was absolutely amazing! She is highly responsive and took the extra time to patiently befriend my skittish kitty. She also made sure to play with my other kitty during every visit and even watered my outside plants as an extra bonus. I highly recommend her!
We've used Alyssia several times now and will absolutely continue requesting her! She stopped by for a drop-in visit to let our pups out for a quick potty break, feed them dinner, and give them their medications, and she handled everything perfectly. She even went the extra mile by washing their dishes and rinsing out the canned food container so I could just toss it straight into the recycling bin. That kind of thoughtfulness really means a lot! It gave us such peace of mind knowing our dogs were in such caring and capable hands while we were out. Alyssia is reliable, attentive, and clearly cares about the pets she looks after. We’re so grateful to have found her and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a wonderful pet sitter!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in West Gate is $19 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $23 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 14,587 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across West Gate. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in West Gate. On Rover:
- 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
