“nathan was so wonderful watching my senior cat. she takes a couple pills a day so it’s important for her to be cared for while i am away. nathan met with me last minute for a huge trip i had planned when my typical sitter couldn’t help me. my cat loved him immediately and i felt very safe and comfortable with her in his care. the photos he sent me throughout my trip, you could tell she was happy he was there. at one point my flight was cancelled on my trip and nathan was able to last minute accommodate feeding her again for me. very grateful for his services and will be using him again for any of my needs for my old lady! highly recommend!”

About: I have a Chihuahua named Louie and I look after him daily. I also pet-sit and walk my family’s pets when they need me. When my neighbor travels I walk her dog and feed both her dog and her cat. I like having animals around and I treat them the way I would want my own treated. It would fit as a weekend option. I am available Saturdays and Sundays, and I work full-time Monday through Friday as a logistics coordinator. I like clear instructions and a set routine. I keep my own spaces orderly and treat other people’s homes the same way. In a client’s home I would follow the owner’s directions, stick to the pet’s usual schedule, and leave the space as I found it. I let the animal set the pace for petting and play, and I handle the basics — food, water, litter, and comfort — without forcing interaction. I am available Saturdays and Sundays.

About: I've been caring for dogs on Rover since 2017, and after 9 years, I've had the privilege of caring for all kinds of personalities, routines, and needs. I absolutely adore animals, and when you leave your dog with me, my goal is for them to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and right at home. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. That's why I keep owners updated with plenty of photos and videos throughout their pet's stay or visit. You'll be able to see how they're doing, what we're up to, and most importantly, that they're happy and being well cared for. I'm available for house sitting, drop-in visits, dog walking, boarding, and daycare, depending on your dog's needs. For house sitting, I can keep your dog's normal routine as consistent as possible while you're away. For drop-ins, I can provide meals, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship. And for walks, I'm happy to give your dog the exercise and enrichment they need. I also enjoy exercising myself, so energetic dogs are welcome to get some extra activity. There's a peaceful bike trail near my home that's a great place for walks, and I enjoy spending time outdoors with the dogs I care for. I'm flexible with my schedule and can accommodate longer stays when needed. I'm also happy to work with dogs who have specific routines, medications, senior-care needs, or other special requirements. Most importantly, I want your dog to have a positive experience while you're away. Whether we're going for a walk, playing in the yard, relaxing together, or simply keeping each other company, I want them to feel like they're spending time with someone they can trust. 9 years on Rover • 100+ five-star reviews • Frequent photo/video updates • Personalized care Thank you for considering me to care for your best friend! ❤️ I have a flexible schedule and can often accommodate different routines, including longer stays and last-minute requests when my availability allows. A few important updates about my availability: At this time, I can accommodate a maximum of 3 dogs from the same household for boarding/daycare. I am not currently able to combine dogs from multiple households. I am also balancing my schedule with college, so I limit the number of dogs I take at one time to make sure every pet receives the attention and care they deserve. For boarding/daycare, I require a confirmed booking before arranging a Meet & Greet. This allows me to keep my home and schedule organized while protecting everyone's privacy. Please note that I do not have a car, so I am unable to provide pickup or drop-off services. Thank you for understanding, and I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! Your dog's safety comes first. I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can enjoy some outdoor time and stretch their legs without leaving the property. I also supervise dogs while they are outside rather than simply letting them out unattended. For boarding and daycare, I require dogs to be comfortable with crate use. Crates provide a safe place for dogs when I need to shower, sleep, run an errand, or otherwise cannot directly supervise them. I view the crate as a safety tool and want every dog to have a secure, comfortable space of their own. I'll also follow the routines and safety instructions you provide so I can care for your dog in a way that is familiar to them.

“Mollie was our 1st ever Rover booking & our 1st ever single dog pet sitting visit request/need. We recently lost our oldest of the 2 boys …James has never been by himself in our home & since we lost our oldest Boy, James has started with separation anxiety…protest barking when we are out of his sight/alone. Mollie asked great questions at the meet & greet & was very good with James. We booked the 1 hour visit & were extremely relieved that James was so happy with Mollie❤️ she was prompt. Got James out for walks in the rain. Kept us updated during the visit…we will absolutely book again with Mollie.”

I really appreciated knowing they were being well cared for and getting plenty of attention. I came home to happy pets and everything exactly as I left it. I would absolutely trust her to watch them again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and caring pet sitter! 🐾❤️”

About: I have 4 cats at home! I love cats, I take care of them all the time. I had dogs while growing up, so I also have dog expeirence! I help neighbors out with their dogs as well, experience I had bunnies. So I can take care of all sorts of animals! I am completing my Masters Degree and Dietetic Internship right now. My schedule is a little flexible so best to just shoot me a message to let me know what you need! I will watch your pets at home, I will keep an eye on them and walk them on a leash if need or keep them in the fenced area. If its a cat, I will gladly feed it, ill play with it, and make sure it doesn’t get outside if its an indoor one! My schedule is flexible, best to shoot me a message to discuss details and we will figure out what is needed and best for you. Thanks! I make sure that the animals are always taken care of, they are fed, walked daily, played with and give lots of love and attention to them! I will make sure that they are on a leash when outside, if there is no fence. If there is a fence, I will make sure they are kept inside the fence!

About: I’ve been around animals for as long as I can remember. I’ve been around all kinds of animals my whole life, from chickens, hamsters to cats, dogs, and even horses. I’ve helped care for cats and dogs for family and friends in the past, providing feeding, playtime, companionship, and general care. I genuinely love spending time with animals! I’m very patient and understanding, which I think is super important when it comes to pet care (and earning their trust!). I am a college student but I usually only have two classes in the morning, which leaves me free the rest of the day to give your pets plenty of attention, care, and love! I have a fenced backyard and a super friendly, medium-sized dog, along with a cat who spends most of her day exploring outside. If your pet needs privacy or separate space, I totally understand and have room to accommodate that.

“Jennifer was fantastic! This was our first time using Rover and she helped us understand all the basics; she communicated well before, during and after; was very prompt; was able to adjust her time to come a little earlier when we were able to get there earlier; and was just all around great from a scheduling perspective. If my dog could leave a review, he would say she was terrific. I know thi because he settled down right away and was comfortable and relaxed when I returned home!”

Kortney was absolutely amazing with our dog Zara!!! We had a last minute cancellation right before vacation, and Kortney was incredibly accommodating and flexible with Zara’s check-ins while we were away. Zara is a very anxious dog who needs extra attention, patience, and lots of love. Kortney not only took on the job the same day, but she was also willing to meet Zara before we left, which gave us so much reassurance and peace of mind. Throughout our trip, Kortney provided daily updates after every check-in, including the cutest pictures of Zara. Since this was our first time using a pet sitting service, those updates really helped ease our minds. It was clear that Kortney took excellent care of Zara and gave her the same love and attention we would have. She understood our needs right away and stepped in with such ease when we needed someone most. Definitely will be booking again and thank you so much Kortney for your services ✨🩵

This was my first time using a sitter instead of friends or family, so I was pretty nervous leaving my hyperthyroid cat who needs daily medication and has become very picky with food. Maggie was fantastic—she followed my notes closely, was patient with his routine, and made sure he was comfortable and eating. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in such attentive and capable hands. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her, especially for pets with extra needs.

Also, did a fantastic job keeping the pens and floor clean along with fresh bedding, food and water. I was anxious about having someone else take care of my babies but she eased my anxiety with how good she was with them. My babies were comfortable with her as well which made it even better. Definitely recommend!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - West Lawn

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in West Lawn is $20 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $33 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 October 2026, there are 2,120 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across West Lawn. 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 .

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 , 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 Lawn. On Rover:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% 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.

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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
