“We had such a great experience with Amber! From the meet and greet, Charlie was comfortable with her, which immediately put us at ease. She took wonderful care of him, kept us updated throughout our trip, and treated both our dog and our home with so much care and respect. It was clear she genuinely cared about Charlie, and knowing he was in such good hands allowed us to fully enjoy our time away. We came home to a happy, relaxed pup, and we couldn't be more grateful. We would absolutely book with Amber again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and trustworthy pet sitter!”
“Tanya was AMAZING!!! Immediately after meeting her & watching her interact with our tiny zoo we had complete confidence that they were in good hands. Will definitely be rebooking in the future.”
“Aida was absolutely wonderful! She watched our great dane at our house for just over two weeks while we traveled abroad. She showed up before we left to make sure everything was set. She was very communicative, sent pictures and updates as well as handled household issues without needing directions. Our dog was well cared for with walks and snuggles the whole time. Needless to say, we look forward to having Aida sit again.”
“Evelyn did a great job taking care of our furry child. We appreciate the somewhat short-notice booking and everything went really smoothly. I would highly recommend booking Evelyn if you're in need of pet care!”
“Taylen did a phenomenal job! Not only was she punctual for our meet up, but she was also very personable and it was clear that she cares about animals. We have a very elderly dog that requires a lot of extra support but Taylen was willing to help with all that was needed to care for our sweet girl in our absence. We received updates throughout our trip and knew she was in good care - we’d definitely book with Taylen again!”

“Brooke is a so amazing with our gentle giant and always leaves the house better than she found it. We trust and appreciate her staying in our home anytime and loving on our pup so well. She is very reliable and goes above and beyond to take care of our home and dog while we are away. We definitely recommend Brooke and will 100% hire her again!”
“Autumn was amazing with out 2 English setters- she handled medications wonderfully and gave them so much attention and walks! Our neighbor even commented on how great she was. Look forward to using her again!”
About: I have had pets most of my life. I've experienced the highs and lows of loving another critter. I would love the opportunity to be a positive for your critter, pup, or cat while you are away. I will provide loving care and attention to your loved ones. I am an elementary teacher. I am able to travel to your location before work (7am) and after work (3pm) most week days and available for weekend beginning Friday at 3pm until I have a large 4' and 5' fenced yard with trees on a nice corner lot. Lots of space for running, playing, and lounging in the shade or bathing in in sunlight.
“Cari is absolutely amazing! She is warm and conscientious and took the time to get to know our cat and dog with their various quirks! Great communicator. I did not worry about the pets for the entire trip! Not only was she great with the animals, she took care of the house and even folded laundry/sheets we left in the dryer.”
“Haley was an amazing pet sitter! She took such great care of both our dog and our cat while we were away, and it gave us so much peace of mind. She kept us updated with photos and messages, which we really appreciated and loved receiving. When we got home, the house was spotless! Our pets were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. I would absolutely recommend Haley to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and trustworthy pet sitter, and we’ll definitely be booking her again.”
About: I've had pets my whole life, I watch the pets of my friends and family as often as I'm needed. I make sure they're fed, hydrated and go on walks daily. I also have experience working with blind and deaf dogs. I am on Medical Leave from work and pet care is what I am best at. I am free all day every day including weekends. I am best at caring for pets in other peoples homes. If I'm staying somewhere overnight i bring my own food, towels, blankets and pillows and i'm able to sleep anywhere including couches and floors. I am not able to watch pets in my own home as I live in a very small apartment that pets are not allowed in.
About: Hi! I’m Elena. Whether your pet is an easygoing adult dog, a timid kitty, or a gentle senior who just wants a quiet place to nap, I provide calm, attentive, and high-trust care tailored to their normal routine. My animal care background runs deep: 8+ Years of Rescue Experience & Patient Care: I spent eight years volunteering with City Kitties Rescue in DC and The Cats at Longstreet. Through this work, I developed a strong understanding of animal body language, patience with shy pets, and a gentle touch for animals who need a peaceful environment to feel comfortable. Gentle Senior & Easygoing Routine Care: I love spending time with adult and senior pets who enjoy a relaxed pace, predictable routines, lots of affection, or simply lounging on the couch. I grew up with a Peekapoo and trained with the Animal Humane Society on gentle dog handling techniques. Pro Communication & Great Photos: You’ll receive clear, real-time updates and high-quality progress photos during every stay so you always have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and relaxed. Broad Animal Experience: While I focus on adult cats and dogs on Rover, I’ve personally cared for a wide variety of animals throughout my life—from hedgehogs, rabbits, and pocket pets to reptiles (including live feeding). I maintain a peaceful, welcoming environment and treat every pet like family. I’d love to meet you and your companion! My schedule is very flexible. I work part-time and remotely, which means I am home for the majority of the day and can give your pet plenty of individual attention, frequent potty breaks, and low-stress companionship. Because I work from my peaceful home environment, I can easily stick to your pet’s normal daily rhythm—whether that’s a midday backyard break, regular feeding times, or just having a cozy lap available while I work. Whether caring for pets in my own home or visiting yours, safety, comfort, and respect for routine are my top priorities. In My Home (Boarding): I use a low-stress, step-by-step transition process for feline guests. Just like my rescue fosters, visiting cats start out in a cozy, dedicated space (like a private room) with all their essentials until they feel confident enough to explore the rest of the house at their own pace. For dogs, I maintain a secure, calm environment and ensure my backyard is fully supervised during outdoor breaks. In Your Home (Drop-Ins): I follow your exact instructions to keep your pet’s routine seamless. My visits typically begin with fresh food, water, and litter/potty care. Once their primary needs are met, I spend the remaining time providing gentle affection, low-key play, or simply quiet companionship—always ensuring your home is kept secure and key logistics are handled with complete accountability.
About: I have had dogs and cats all my life. We welcome your fur baby to our Home Away From Home! My family and I will care for and love your fur baby while you are away. Whether it be overnight, drop ins or going for walks, we will care for your pet with love! Your pet will love it here as we have many acres to explore, walk and play fetch with a ball or toy. All of our animals are up to date on shots and other preventions and I would ask that your dog(s) meet this requirement as well so that all animals can stay healthy and happy. Rest assured that your fur baby will be well taken care of while on “vacation”.
“We had a wonderful experience Hailey! She stayed at her home while we were away and was incredibly kind, reliable, and communicative throughout the entire time. She sent the sweetest pictures of her snuggling with our dogs, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear from the pictures that our dogs felt comfortable and were well cared for, not just fed and let out, but actually loved. She went above and beyond by cleaning their ears, and even trimming their nails, which we really appreciated. She also kept our house clean. We felt completely at ease being away, knowing our dogs were safe and happy. She even left us an adorable note with a drawing of our dogs. I would absolutely use her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.”
“We were so happy to find Julia on Rover! She is extremely reliable, knowledgeable about dogs, and kept our house spotless while dogsitting our 2 miniature poodles for 5 nights. We highly recommend Julia!”
“Michael was very responsive, communicative and really seemed to connect with our dog Sadie during their time together! We appreciated that he was willing to come meet us and Sadie before the stay and his regular updates, which helped us to feel at ease when leaving our senior girl. We know we left Sadie in good hands - Thank you, Michael!”

FAQs for House Sitting - West Point
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 768 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across West Point. 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 Point 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 Point 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 Point 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.
