“Sarah took great care of our dogs. She sent picture updates each evening which was very nice to have. She took care of our home and left it clean when she left. We will always check with her first when we need a house sitter again!”
“Camden was amazing! She sent us lots of photos of our dog while we were away and made us feel very comfortable. She was able to stay longer than we originally expected too. Highly recommend!”
“Svetlana was wonderful with our senior dog Max and took great care of our home too while we were away for a long weekend. She sent lots of updates and pictures (at our request) and accommodated a FaceTime call too :) She also left our place perfectly neat and tidy. We will definitely be reaching out to Svetlana again next time we need a sitter.”
“Chandrika has been an incredible sitter for Louie. She is timely, sends a lot of updates, and is patient with his needs since he is an elder dog. We appreciate her so much!”
“Christina is an amazing and thoughtful sitter. She took care of our two dogs and our house while we were out of the country for over a week. She kept us updated and gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Our dogs had a great time, too!”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is truly my passion. I’ve been working with animals since I was a little girl, and one of my very first jobs was at a local pet shop called Aquarium Connection. Over the years, I’ve gained experience with all kinds of animals — from dogs and cats to reptiles, birds, and exotic pets. I personally own several reptiles myself, so I’m very comfortable caring for reptiles and birds in addition to traditional pets. I’m not afraid to get messy, handle shy or nervous animals, or care for pets with disabilities or medical needs. I’m experienced with giving medications and making sure animals feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. Animals have always shown me unconditional love and comfort throughout my life, and being able to give that same care back to them means everything to me. I treat every pet like family and always strive to provide patient, loving, and dependable care. Pet care is a night weekends and holiday job. There are no off days ! I’m currently available 24 seven 365. I am looking to make my passion for animals into a full-time job Caring for my animals and others, is my upmost priority. They receive 100% of my time and attention. I have a completely fence and backyard with plenty of room to run. Inside they have a chance to meet three kitties, and have all the toys in the world. If they’re feeling adventurous, my bearded dragon would probably like to meet them too.
“Haley did an excellent job of taking care of Stella. She was extremely patient with her even though Stella was very nervous. She was very responsive and sent lots of pictures and updates.”
“Rebecca is a wonderful sitter; reliable, professional, and attentive. Our pups clearly enjoyed their time with her, and we really appreciated how she kept us updated throughout.”
“Riley stayed with my dogs for boarding at my place. I came home to two happy pups. Riley was easy to communicate with, left the space tidy, and kept me updated. Would definitely book again!”
“Maggie was absolutely great with my cat! She got to know her very quickly, was very attentive to her needs, and my cat immediately responded to her approach well and trusted her. Maggie sent regular, detailed updates and left the house very clean. I would definitely work with her again.”
“Kaitlyn was absolutely amazing! She took such great care of our pets and went above and beyond to make sure they were happy, safe, and loved while we were away. Her communication was great, and it truly gave us peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter and would 100% book her again. Highly recommend!”
“I highly recommend Hope to other pet parents. She took the best care of my senior dog, made sure he ate (picky eater) , had lots of outdoor time and love. I got lots of photos and communication was excellent. Made me feel very secure while leaving overnight. In addition Hope lefty home in perfect condition. I am grateful to have found her and will use her again.”
“Crystal is awesome! Being a veterinarian myself, I am pretty particular about who I choose to care for my dogs. Crystal is caring, detail-oriented, and compassionate. She had great communication with us about the booking and about how our dogs were doing and sent lots of pictures of them to keep our minds at ease while we were away. She was super understanding when our start and end dates needed to be changed due to unforeseen circumstances and I appreciated that so much. She has taken care of our dogs in our home twice now and I just booked her again for a longer trip. It is so nice to be able to relax knowing our dogs and our home are in good hands. I highly recommend Crystal to watch your fur babies!”
About: I’ve grew up and cared for several family pets (dogs 🐕, cats🐈⬛, turtles 🐢, birds🦜, and even iguanas 🦎), but I adopted my first Pug in 2005 (13.5 years old) and was a “Step Dog Mom” to very energetic sweet Border collie/Australian Shepherd ( for 9 years) and a German Shepherd/husky (for 10 years). I work an office job full time. I’m known as the office Pet Sitter. Overall, I really love animals and spending time with them. Please send me a message what works for you, and I look forward to meeting all the dogs ;-) I mean animals. 😊 My schedule is flexible and I want to be sure your fur family is happy. Please feel free to message me their daily/weekly routine. I am not offering boarding at my house at this time. I also want to be sure your dog/cat enjoy their own environment. We can discuss if you would like to socialize them more.
About: Hello, I am Lindsey and I have always been an animal lover. I live with in walking distance to Depot Park, the Hawthorne trail and the Sweetwater reserve , and find any excuse to get outside the oeerfect opportunity . I am available to keep up with an energetic dog, or to spend some down time with dogs who are more comfortable relaxing. When dog sitting I will be taking your pup out 2-3 MINIMUM a day. I love to take pictures and videos to send to owners. I will disclose my personal number to those who book with me, and will always keep my phone on. Please feel free to contact me anytime if you have any questions or would like to check in. I’m fully available to make sure you and your dog(s) feel comfortable and safe. I have 17 plus years of experience. I have owned many dogs of different ages and size. In addition I have been surrounded by many pup puppies over the years. I’ve gained practice for all personality types as well. I’ve experienced dogs with anxiety/low self confidence that need extra love and patience. I am a total animal lover in general, and would be pleased to provide a happy place to stay. I do ask that you provide food for your pets to maintain a regular diet. I may charge an additional $1/hr after reaching the 24 hour mark for pickup if boarding is 1-2 days. SUBJECT TO CHANGE.
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have had multiple dogs of my own since I was 8 years old, so caring for pets has always been a big part of my life. I have experience with dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities, and I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playing, and keeping up with their normal routines. Friends and family have also trusted me to care for their pets while they’re away. I’m responsible, attentive, and will make sure your pet gets plenty of love and attention while in my care! I’m currently a college student taking online classes, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your pets! I’m available throughout the week and on weekends for walks, drop-ins, playtime, and pet sitting. Since my classes are online, I can easily work around your pet’s normal routine and make sure they get plenty of attention and care throughout the day. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I’ll follow any instructions you provide, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and other routines. I’m very attentive and will treat your home and pets with the same care and respect I would my own. I’m also happy to send pictures and updates so you know your pet is doing well!
About: I have always loved animals, with a special place for pets. I’ve long been in charge of my family’s dog care and also adopted the role of dog walker for several roomates and friends. You could say I enjoy the walk as much as your dog! I’m working full time in the mornings and afternoons. In my time after work I usually take walks, go to the gym, or find time for my other hobbies. I pride myself in being a quality pet owner and caretaker. When providing for my own or others animals, I always make an effort to minimize stressors and gain trust. Every pet has their own temperament and I will find it and match it for them. I’m also in shape and capable of carrying small and larger dogs a good distance in case of emergencies.
The median cost per night for house sitting in West Hills is $45

Gina came into my home and took care of my very high maintenance dogs with so much care and clear communication. If was extremely important that I had someone that I knew would be willing to work with their crazy routine and Gina stepped up to that challenge and my girls loved Gina. Will book again !
Paola is the best dog sitter! My dog who is usually very suspicious of new people went right up to her and felt comfortable immediately. She’s extremely knowledgeable and mature. I am 100% comfortable having her over to my house and I know my dog will be taken care of and loved while I am away. Will definitely rebook.
Camden took such good care of my dog Eve and my apartment while I was out of town! I was nervous to leave because of Eve’s separation anxiety, but Camden spent lots of time with her to keep her comfortable, gave her lots of snuggles, and sent me multiple updates and photos each day. She left the apartment spotless and even did the dishes! Already have plans to book Camden for my next trip!
Jyll took great care of Charlie during an overnight stay while we were away. She was punctual, followed all of our instructions, and kept us updated with thoughtful communication throughout our trip, which gave us real peace of mind. Charlie was happy and well cared for when we returned. We’d definitely recommend Jyll and would happily book with her again
Siara did an amazing job caring for our three dogs while we were away. From the moment we met her, we knew they were in great hands. She treated both our home and our dogs as if they were her own, giving us complete peace of mind throughout our trip. She provided daily updates with messages and photos, which made it so much easier to relax knowing our pups were happy, safe, and well cared for. It was clear from the updates that our dogs were receiving plenty of love, attention, and excellent care. We came home to three happy dogs and a well-kept home. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. If you're looking for someone who is dependable, caring, and truly goes above and beyond, we highly recommend Siara. We will absolutely be booking with her again!
Evelynn responded immediately to my Rover request and took amazing care of both Clara and my house. She helped me out in a pinch and while i was out of town, and sent me frequent updates with pictures! She also asked me insightful questions about Clara’s care, so I know she was well taken care of and comfortable.
From the beginning, my pets were immediately drawn to Rebecca, and very calm and comfortable in her presence, even though they are normally a little shy and cautious. She has natural warmth and a gift with animals. When we first met, she asked questions about each of them and then follow-up questions after. Then during my trip, she was very attentive to their needs (they are not all on the same schedule, the kitties sometimes need to be separated, and one is on a diet, and my 9yo dog takes meds and experiences joint pain) and provided lots of updates with pictures. It was even beyond what I had hoped for since she had to be at the house so much due to the inconsistencies in their routines. I felt confident booking with Rebecca, and assured that my babies were safe, mentally stimulated, and happy while I was away. By the time I came home it was close to their bedtime, and they were all gathered near her, so it is clear the trust is unanimous! I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her. :)
Jackson remains our go-to sitter after multiple exceptional experiences. He treats our dogs and our home with great care and seems to genuinely enjoy playing with them and walking them. We get proactive updates and fun pictures while we’re gone. Before Jackson, we brought our pups when we traveled because I’d worry when we left them behind. Now we enjoy worry free getaways and the dogs get to keep their routine & relax in comfort at home. Jackson is truly the best!
You can tell Kat has a real love for animals! She was punctual, reliable, and so loving with our fur babies. It was our first time leaving them in the hands of someone other than family and she made the process easy! She sent us photos, kept us updated, and was very responsive. She went above and beyond for our pets and we will definitely be working with her again in the future :)

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in West Hills on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 482 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across West Hills. 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 Hills 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 Hills 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 Hills 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 Hills. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
