“We did a one night away and one of our dogs recently had surgery so needed care other than our typical place we go so went with Daniel. He is great with dogs and sends messages and pictures during the time you are gone.”
“Jess was INCREDIBLE with our pack. I can say this is the first time we have ever travelled and not worried about ours dogs back home. Jess provided consistent updates and went above and beyond with our pups. They all adored her (even our judgey girl) and she took excellent care of them all!”
“Sarah made sure that all of our pets were taken care of and received tons of love and attention while we were away. She is also experienced with caring for rabbits so I knew that our bunny was in good hands and would be able to exercise his legs. I highly recommend her and will be booking her for future pet sitting needs!”
“For the first time in our doggie's little life we had to find an outside sitter for her and we couldn't have been happier connecting with Karen ! She is professional and has a very calm demanor which put our puppy right at ease ! She provided constant communication, photos, and even her evaluation of how Cali was settling in with a new person in the house ... which made us feel even more confident in our decision to use Rover ! Thank you so much Miss Karen and Cali looks forward to seeing you again soon !!”
“The dogs loved her from the start. The visit was only for 2 days due to illness, but I received pictures and up to date communication while we were gone. This was our first time using Rover, and will definitely go this route again when needed.”
About: I’ve been a pet owner my whole life! I have experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and breeds. From puppies to seniors, and everything in between, I can care for a wide range of needs. I am a recent college graduate, so I have plenty of time to care for your pets! I am incredibly flexible and able to work with you and your pets’ needs! I am very careful of your dog’s boundaries, needs, and quirks! I can enforce commands and corrections if necessary (trained commands, being crated, or outside time). I also have some experience with *minor* reactivity—specifically food and resource guarding. Your dog’s safety and trust is my number one priority; I learn their body language and I do not push boundaries!
“We just got back from a week vacation and couldn’t be happier with our experience with Emily and Adam. They did an amazing job taking care of Arthur while we were away, which can be a handful with a 2 year old 150lb St. Bernard. They kept us informed about everything he was up to throughout the week we were gone. He loved having them with him for the week. If you are lucky enough to have them watch your pet while you are away you won’t be disappointed.”
“Imani went above and beyond taking care of our two large pups. The house was tidy when we came home and they even helped get the snow off the driveway for our return. She sent pictures throughout the stay of the pups and took them on walks and played with them outside in the backyard as well.”
About: I have had various dogs since I was a child including dachshunds, jack russels, and chihuahuas. I’ve always helped around the house and with the animals. (We’ve even had goats, chickens, goats, and a pig! So I know how to handle different dynamics.) I have trained and taken care of my own dachshund puppy over the past two years. I’ve taught him tricks, crate trained him, and navigated how to walk on a leash properly. As an early grad I am working to build my schedule with work. I make time for what’s important to me and that includes YOUR FURRY BABIES! I do have one part time job but I am very flexible with my availability. If you prefer me to be present at the house 24/7 I will! If you are okay with me working a shift or two while petsitting I can do that as well. All I need is communication! I will act and provide my services based on you and your pets needs. I am comfortable to give medicine, take your pets out for potty breaks any time they need, to crate them or share a bed for my stay.
“Hailey was great! My animals were so comfortable and happy from her being there while I was away. She took great care of them and my home. This is the first time I’ve used a sitter for my pets and home but I would use Hailey again and again!”
“We have used Samantha for extended house sitting and caregiving for our elderly, blind cat. She is just the most reliable, compassionate, meticulous and competent young woman! We trust her completely with our home and our beloved cat. We admire her and wholeheartedly recommend her!”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and absolutely love caring for them! Over the years, I’ve watched and walked pets for family members, friends, and neighbors, gaining experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. Whether it’s going for walks, playtime, or simply keeping them company, I always make sure each pup feels loved, safe, and cared for like they’re my own. I work from home full-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to spend lots of time with the pets in my care throughout the day. I’m able to provide frequent potty breaks, attention, and companionship while they’re in a comfortable environment. I also genuinely enjoy long walks in my personal time, so I’d love to have a furry friend join me for some extra exercise and enrichment! I work from home, which gives me flexibility throughout the day to provide reliable care and accommodate many scheduling needs. I’m available for morning, midday, evening, and weekend drop-in visits and dog walks. If I accept your booking, you can count on me to arrive on time, communicate consistently, and give your pet the attention and care they deserve. If you have a specific schedule in mind, feel free to reach out, I’m happy to discuss accommodations whenever possible! When caring for pets, safety and trust are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, preferences, and any special needs to make sure they feel comfortable and secure. Whether I’m in my home or a client’s, I maintain a calm, clean, and pet friendly environment. I always double check that leashes, doors, and gates are secure, and I keep a close eye on pets during walks or playtime. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, happy, and cared for.

“I came home to extremely happy dogs. My house was spotless. And the whole time I was gone the communication was wonderful. Quick to respond. Sent photos of my pups. I would recommend to anyone looking for a sitter!! I would absolutely book again.”

Jess was INCREDIBLE with our pack. I can say this is the first time we have ever travelled and not worried about ours dogs back home. Jess provided consistent updates and went above and beyond with our pups. They all adored her (even our judgey girl) and she took excellent care of them all!
Diana was great with my cat and dog while I was away. She made sure to stop by and spend enough time with them. This was the first time I was away for a week and didn’t have family watching the pets. I was able to relax during my vacation knowing my pets were in great hands! Thank you again Diana for everything! 🫶
Imani went above and beyond taking care of our two large pups. The house was tidy when we came home and they even helped get the snow off the driveway for our return. She sent pictures throughout the stay of the pups and took them on walks and played with them outside in the backyard as well.
As a 1st time user of Rover, I got super lucky with Brittany! My fur babies abso-freakin-lutely adored her! I got regular updates, and the girls got adventures and training for 'place' and agility games (something they did not understand lol), and Brittany made sure everyone had all the snuggles they could want.
Kate was a great housesitter! She was very respectful of our home and took great care of our dogs. She sent a ton of pictures of them while we were gone too, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Will definitely have her over to watch Kado and Korra again.

FAQs for House Sitting - West Lawn
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in West Lawn on Rover is $52.73 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 1,195 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across West Lawn. 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 Lawn 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 Lawn 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 Lawn 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 Lawn. On Rover:
- 97% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% 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.
