About: I've taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 12. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. We've plenty of time to play with your pups! It is important for us to know whether your pet gets along with other dogs and is friendly with kids. We would also want to know if your pet has a tendency to dig or chew on furniture or shoes so we can make the necessary accomodations. Also it’s important to know if your pet has any preexisting medical conditions and/or requires any medication or supplements to be administered We have a fenced in front and backyard. However, dogs are allowed both inside and outside our home. We also believe in taking dogs on multiple walks a day to give them the exercise they need.

“Rho was absolutely amazing. From the first time we met here, we felt completely comfortable welcoming her into our home and taking care of our 11 week old puppy. The entire time she house sat for us we were constantly updated with messages, videos and pictures. We could feel how much love she had for our puppy and we knew we left her in good hands. She was so good playing with our puppy and keeping her entertained. We would 100% recommend Rho to anyone with pets and will definitely be using her again!”

About: Aside from loving and raising dogs with my family my entire life, I am now a a dog mom to two adorable babies, Mochaccino and Lady Lemon. I have also been a proud foster dog mom to four dogs, which have all gone on to find their forever homes. Through fostering, I have gained experience in caring for dogs with special health needs, dietary restrictions, and unique temperaments. I have cared for a young and senior dogs for family and friends, as well as a litter of puppies. I work remote so I have an open schedule during the week if your pet requires special and timely care. I also have an open schedule on the weekends. I am currently in San Diego for the summer and offering services here. I have huge backyard for zoomies and sunbathing. My pets get supervised outside time in the backyard several times a day, and 30-minute to 1-hour walks twice a day. My dogs are mainly indoors and are allowed to free roam, and hang out on furniture, these rules will apply to any pets I care for, but I can also crate if needed - most of the foster dogs I have cared for have been crated. I have worked with drop-in visit clients, in which I have visited and walked their pets twice a day on the agreed days and times.

“Sarah and her partner Embry really came to our rescue when our original house sitter bailed halfway through our time away. We reached out to them day-of with an urgent request for a new house sitter and they were very responsive and understanding of our situation and so patient as we worked together to coordinate a remote handoff of our spare key and house/pet care instructions. Even though they were just finishing a stay with an existing client, they came over as fast as they could and went above and beyond with their care. They checked in often (which was so appreciated since we were abroad and scrambling to make sure everything at home was ok), followed our pet care instructions to a tee, and even took the time to do some cleaning/laundry which we were not expecting but were so thankful for. Connecting with Sarah and Embry turned a stressful situation into a positive experience and we're happy to have met such reliable and caring sitters! We will definitely be reaching out to them for help again in the future.”

“This is the second time we had Olga to sit Capone and was another great experience. We went to Miami for dinner and not once was concerned about him. The updates kept coming to my phone. She took him to our Dog park. Capone lives her and so do we. If she’s available and you want your dog safe and happy hire her and you won’t regret it”

She followed all of his daddies’ very specific (ok… slightly neurotic 😅) instructions perfectly and kept us smiling with great photos and updates. Mylo was clearly happy, relaxed, and totally loved. We would book Claire again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend! 🐾💙”

“Megan and Trevor went above and beyond when caring for our 14 yo Shorkie Teddy! This was our first time using Rover and someone outside of family. I couldn’t have felt more comfortable on vacation knowing he was receiving the best care. They sent frequent updates and pictures that melted my heart. I highly recommend them and will no doubt use them again.”

Emily was very communicative and took the time to make sure she was prepared to take care of my dogs before the stay. While I was gone she made sure to update me with photos and videos so I wouldn’t stress. I came home to 2 happy, healthy, and well cared for dogs. So I would definitely recommend Emily!”

About: For as long as I can remember, I’ve been taking care of dogs. I am new to Rover. I am always here your dog(s). I am constantly around animals and committing myself to take care of them. I am comfortable around all dogs and will adapt and learn how to best take care of your dog. When I am with your dogs I dedicate my time to being present with them. Don’t hesitate to reach out and ask any questions. There’s always an answer. Chat soon! I am currently free all day, Monday, Tuesday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. On Wednesday and Thursday I can work anytime besides 1 to 6 PM because I’ll be in class. To establish trust, I let the dogs smell me. Then I play fetch with them to understand a bit more about them. To ensure safety at my clients home, I always go in the backyard with the dog, watch them, play with them and make sure everything is going smoothly.

“Vasil is an absolute dream sitter. He and my cat, Kasha, clicked instantly at the meet and greet, and after his overnight stay she’s completely smitten. He gave her so much attention and affection, and he was incredibly meticulous about following all of her care instructions as well as the apartment rules. I came home to a spotless space and a very happy cat. He’s definitely earned my trust. Honestly, I’m tempted to book drop-ins even when I don’t need them just so Kasha can have more time with her new bestie.”

About: Note: In the Miami (Aventura/North Miami) area through 11/23. Hello, Rover world! My name is Gerardo, and I am the proud human to the two best dogs in the world, Elle and Tayter Dot, and recently adopted two kittens, Lisa Frank and Polly Pocket. I am here to find fun playmates for my girls by hosting your pets. Since I'm already a pet parent, I'm already doing the pet routine - feeding, walking, playing, etc. Adding your pup to the routine will be pretty natural as a result. Hubs and I work from home, so we are actively spending time with your dog no matter what! We ask that your pet be housebroken. If they have a crate, we can add that to our routine, though our girls have full reign of the house. (It's their house, I just live in it.) Your pet can expect fresh water, a clean home, an absurd amount of toys, a yard to run in, and lots of treats. (Maybe also a weird excited pet voice...sorry not sorry!) For the safety of all involved, we require a meet and greet as it is our best way to vet how your dog will get along with ours. I do my best to walk the girls more than once a day. We are regulars at various trails and greenways, as well as hanging with other friends and their dogs. My spouse and I are attentive to the needs of our girls, and will treat your dog like one of our own. You can expect your dog to be loved on, with lots of fetch in the yard, snuggles on the couch, and homemade treats for all. We also both work from home so your dog will have human and canine company through their visit.

Two walks, lots of pictures and videos of them playing together kept my mind at ease when they were with someone unfamiliar. They quickly fell in love with her! I’d pay her double for her service if we are ever back in the area. Thank you again so much, Izabella!”

About: I have a genuine, deep love for all pets in this world… mine have been the most important part of my life. When my baby kitty Lenny crossed the heavenly rainbow bridge last year, Gideon and Einstein rescued me. My focus is specific and consistent: “What does your best friend need? How can I provide this need to them? Is the environment low stress? Your fur babies are so important to me because I truly understand how important they are to YOU. Having no human children myself, believe me, fur babies are EVERYTHING! I put my absolute best effort into making sure your pet feels safe and experiences the least amount of anxiety as possible. I also assist with Senior day care cleaning, shopping etc. References upon request if needed. I am available to work five days a week and weekends if necessary. I’m grateful to have a flexible schedule; I’ve earned the trust to have access into peoples’ homes to care for their animals. I treat every single animal and pet as if they were my own. I make sure to have every day fulfilled with at least a little bit of furry affection or my day just isn’t the same! I have a pet-friendly, pet-safe, pet-happy home! Making sure all the fur babies in my home have what they need is “what I DO!” My sweet cat Gideon couldn’t get more nurturing! He’s very healthy, independent and gentle with his guests”! My philosophy with my home and my animals is: When in MY care, your baby’s safety, good health, and comfort is guaranteed in the anxiety-free environment I provide. I’m extremely attentive to their individual needs, hands-on, and I work hard at that. Their are no short-cuts, no days off with my animals. I have a closed area to make sure your special DOG 🐶 AND KITTY ARE SAFE AND SECURE.IF YOU REQUEST FOR YOUR BABY TO BE CRATED , ONLY AT YOUR REQUEST.I TAKE CARE OF ONE OR 2 FUR BABIES FOR THE LENGTH OF THEIR STAY.I PROVIDE ONE ON ONE LOVING 🥰 CARE FOR YOUR BABY- BABIES.I WILL NOT MIX FAMILIES.IF YOU PREFER I WILL DO A STAY OVER AT YOUR CONVENIENT HOME 🏠.SAFETY, HEALTH AND COMFORT ARE #1 YOUR FUR BABIES WILL HAVE ACCESS TO ALL MY HOME, I WILL PLAY WITH THEM, GIVE LOTS OF LOVING 🥰 CARE!

“Tetiana was amazing and super caring for our dogs. one of the dogs got pneumonia 2 days before our trip and was it was very hard feeding him his medicine. although challenging Tetiana managed to give him medicine and keep his mood upbeat even while sick. She also was very understanding of our situation as we just moved and had many packed boxes in the house. She would keep us up to date with pictures and videos of our pets and we never felt more relieved. I cannot thank her enough and would definitely recommend her for your pets. She has a hidden talent of calming dog who go crazy once locking eyes with a squirrel, by the time we came back our dog was trained and not pulling. It was absolutely shocking how much calmer he got with Tetiana training in place. ❤️”

Rhokia was a wonderful dog sitter who took amazing care of my very attached Cavalier, Jax, while I was away on a work trip. Each day, she sent detailed updates about their walks and excursions, along with photos and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. She even brought him toys! She made sure he was well-fed, gave him treats and plenty of affection, and most importantly, truly cared for and loved him while I was away. She was also a respectful guest in my home and left everything just as she found it—clean and organized. I can’t say enough great things about Rhokia and the exceptional care she provides. I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving dog sitter.

We couldn’t be happier with the amazing care our 2 dogs received! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Brianna stayed in our home and cared for our fur babies while we were out of town for 4 days. She came for a meet-and-greet prior to our trip, and from the moment we met, we (and the pups) felt completely at ease. She treated our pups like family—lots of playtime & cuddles, —and kept our home spotless and peaceful. The updates and photos she sent each day were such a comfort and let us see just how relaxed and happy our dogs were. We were able to enjoy our trip thanks to the peace of mind that our dogs were in her loving and capable hands. We are booking with her again to stay during an upcoming trip! We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, kind-hearted, and reliable sitter. 💕🐾

FAQs for House Sitting - West Park

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in West Park is $56 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $99 per night. 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 4,361 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across West Park. 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 Park 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 Park 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 Park 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 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.

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.
