Currently getting my pilots Licence’s and enjoy reading books I’m currently time building for my commercial Licence whenever the weather is good around 5 hours a day when possible.

About: I've been caring for pets since I was 14 years old. What started with helping neighbors and family friends quickly grew through word-of-mouth recommendations from people who trusted me with their beloved pets. In addition to caring for others' animals, I grew up with a dog, cat, and guinea pig, giving me firsthand experience with the daily responsibilities and joys of pet ownership. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and my love for them inspired me to pursue a degree in Wildlife Science. After recently graduating and moving back home, I'm excited to reconnect with my community and find opportunities to care for animals again. Whether it's walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, or providing companionship, I’m dedicated to making sure every pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for while their owners are away. I look forward to meeting you and your furry, scaled, feathered, etc. family members! Since moving back home, I have plenty of time throughout the week and on weekends, so collaborating our schedules will be simple and straightforward :) In your home, I will be sure to follow your specific care instructions very closely, as well as respect everything in the home as if it were my own. I love to send updates throughout my visits with pictures and videos so you don’t feel like you have to keep inquiring about how everything is going. Whether we're on a walk or spending time at home, I'll provide compassionate care and make sure your pet feels happy and comfortable.

Amy was great with our 2 large pups! We have a slightly complicated feeding routine and she made a clear chart to keep track of everything, including meds for one pup. Our house was just as we left it to include laundered sheets and towels which was such a nice surprise! Would be happy to have her come back.

About: I’ve been trusted by clients, neighbors, and family for years to care for pets. From daily walks and feeding to cuddles and playtime, I treat every pup like family. I’m also experienced in providing the extra patience and attention that senior and rescue dogs need to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for every step of the I’ve run a small pet care business for years, so it is a natural part of my day. I plan my schedule around walks, drop ins, playtime, and feedings, making sure each pet gets all the love, care, and attention. I care for pets in the clients home or mine the same way I care for my own- with reliability, love, respect, and lots of attention. I keep their routines consistent so they feel safe and comfortable. I follow any instructions for feedings, walks, medications, and playtime making sure each pet gets the care they’re used to.

About: I have been blessed with being a lifelong dog owner since the age of 5 years old. That's over 50 years of feeding, walking and playing with all different kinds of dog breeds, both small and large dogs. I'm recently retired, so I have flexible hours daily. Taking care of your dog is just as rewarding for me as it is for them. I am currently concentrating on weekly, recurring walks or drop-in visits, either 1/2 hr. or 1 hr. I easily walk 10 miles a day, so I have no problem taking your dog on a nice long walk through your neighborhood. The 1 hour visits can be either 1 hour walks or a 1 hour mix of walking and playtime in your yard. It's up to you.

Evelna was excellent. Our two large dogs were well cared for and loved. She was able to help us on short notice and was even able to take our dogs on a walk. She kept us updated on how they were doing with cute photos. Our dogs loved her and we will definitely try to book her in the future.

Trevor was wonderful! He was very attentive to all our house sitting and pet sitting needs. Including bringing in our many packages and mail that was delivered while we were gone, managing our pup’s irregular eating habits and navigating a visit from the cleaners. We felt great leaving our Zoey girl in his care and highly recommend his services.

About: Experienced, compassionate caregiver. I currently provide in-home care services to seniors but I do have prior experience both animal and babysitting. The experience that I have has strengthened my patience, communication, and attention to detail — qualities that give not only your pet but you a piece of mind! As of right now I work a standard 9-5 on weekdays (M-F) and am off Saturdays and Sundays! Any time outside of those hours truly work for me but the agency that I work for is super flexible Creating and being in a safe and trusted environment is one of my top priorities. My basic care entails being responsible, patient but most importantly being attentive; tailoring to each and every animals’ needs

About: Hi! I am an experienced pet sitter with over 10 years of animal experience. I studied animal science as an undergrad and will be starting veterinary school this winter. I have also worked in veterinary clinics over the past few years, providing me with experience in administering medications and providing care for animals with specific needs. I am comfortable caring for animals of all ages, shapes, and sizes! I'm a fairly active person who loves the outdoors, so I am always up for long walks or simply playing in the yard. I have some extra time before starting veterinary school, so I have a very flexible schedule that I am looking forward to filling with your furry family members! I currently have a very flexible schedule before I begin veterinary school this winter, so I have plenty of availability for walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting. I’m happy to work with your schedule and provide consistent, reliable care for your pets throughout the week, including weekends. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. With my experience in veterinary clinics and animal care, I’m comfortable administering medications, following specific care instructions, and recognizing when a pet may need extra attention. I’ll treat your home and your pets with the same care and respect I would my own, and I’ll always keep you updated with photos and messages while you’re away.

I had such a wonderful experience!! I have two cats and a senior dog who requires a little extra care and attention, and I felt completely comfortable knowing they were in such good hands with Anna. She was reliable, attentive, and so sweet with all three of our pets. Anna sent me so many pics and she kept us updated while we were away, which gave us such peace of mind! I would absolutely recommend her and and will definitely use her again! ❤️🐾

We think Emma is great. She is very responsive and prompt. Emma sent us updates as well as a video and photos. Our senior dog Sam was well cared for and she was very attentive to him. Sam can become anxious but was happy and calm when we returned. We definitely recommend her for pet sitting.

FAQs for House Sitting - West Hills

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in West Hills on Rover is $99.9 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 17,712 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:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% 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.
