“Ken is amazing!! He took great care of Dixie (and my home) while I was away, and will definitely book him again!!! He's greatly professional and his love of dogs shines through!”
“Cindy did an excellent job keeping Peanut company while we were away and kept us updated with lots of pics. She was always responsive and I would gladly use her in the future. Highly recommend!”
“Susan was amazing! She took time to meet with me and my dog Bella. During this visit, Bella sat on the couch with Susan and laid her head in Susan's lap and went to sleep. While I was away, Susan sent me pictures so I could see Bella was doing ok. I definitely want Susan to stay with Bella again!”
About: I provide reliable, compassionate care and treat every dog like family. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, including large breeds, and I focus on keeping pets safe, comfortable, and happy. Whether caring for energetic puppies or senior dogs needing extra patience, I tailor my care to each dog’s unique needs. Especially with my two that I have! I have taken pride in my experience to take the best care for them in any way! Easy; it’s my life lol. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I make time for feeding, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention to ensure pets stay happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I am organized, reliable, and able to adjust my schedule to meet each pet’s individual needs. Whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I follow their normal routine as closely as possible. I provide feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of attention and affection. I also monitor pets for any changes in behavior or health and keep owners updated so they can have peace of mind while they’re away.
“From the very first day Jessica displayed an exemplary level of trust, care and individual attention with our two cats. My husband and I have done some traveling over the past year. The most stressful aspects by far have been finding a pet sitter for our two cats and being able to trust the sitter to carry out the somewhat nuanced aspects of care they require. If you are anything like us, you view your furry loved ones as nuanced snowflakes which can lead to constant worrying about whether the individual watching them really cares for them the way that you do. Jessica’s adherence to instructions and open communication allowed us to relax and know our cats were in good hands from the very first day. She provided great pictures and updates in a timely matter. It was clear that Jessica’s energy was nurturing and attentive as every single picture showed our two cats looking beyond content. They even seemed to be getting along in a way that surprised us! This was surely due to her calming demeanor and loving attention which we felt from the moment we met her. When we returned home after about 10 days it was like our cats didn’t even realize we were gone, which while somewhat annoying to us(🤭), was such an incredible sign! They were loved and cared for in our absence and that is all we could want. Our home was left clean and organized with nothing out of place. Awesome. With Jessica, we feel like we can travel with peace of mind knowing that our precious pets are in the best of hands as well as our home which is truly special. We could not recommend her more highly. Thank you Jessica!”
“Amanda, was amazing. She really went above and beyond caring for my dogs and keeping me updated. The pics daily were awesome, and I knew everything they were doing. We will use her again for sure.”
“Carole was an absolutely wonderful pet sitter! She stayed with our 1.5-year-old rescue puppy and our 11-year-old cat, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She was friendly, reliable, and consistently sent plenty of updates and photos, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. Carole spent quality time caring for and playing with our puppy, making sure his energy and needs were met, while also being respectful of both pets’ unique personalities and boundaries—especially important for our older cat. It was clear she truly cares about animals and takes the time to understand them individually. We would highly recommend Carole to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive pet sitter, and we”
“Lauren was absolutely amazing!! I had to find a sitter last minute, and I loved her bio the moment I read it. She responded quickly to my request and made sure to nail out the details for my dog’s stay. I could tell she’s experienced and loves animals, and so could my dog! She sent regular updates and pictures, and when I saw my dog frolicking in her backyard and snuggled up later on in the evening like he forgot I had dropped him off was all I needed to set my mind at ease haha! Lauren is a fantastic sitter and I will absolutely be booking her again. Thank you so much!!”
“This is our 2nd booking with Shelby. We had an emergency trip arise and she was able to help when we needed her. Our dogs love her and we know they are in good hands. She keeps our house spotless. Shelby is terrific and we will book with her over and over again!”
“Alyssa did a great job watching our pup while we were out of town for a few days. She sent us pictures everyday. She checked up on our pup as agreed, we’ll definitely ask her to watch our Little Lailah in the future.”
About: I’ve worked with animals for 3 years now, I even had some of my own in the past. Reliable. Open. & Fun loving. Give me the opportunity to work with your pets! I do have a flexible schedule and I’m willing to work with you and your schedules! I am usually always open on weekends! Reach out :) I live on my own and have no issues caging any of your pets if instructed to. Same respect for your homes as well! I’m open to discussing more.
“Kelly did a great job caring for Mila. Mila was very comfortable with Kelly. Kelly left our place clean and like we left it. Thank you Kelly. I would certainly use Kelly again in the future.”
About: Hi! I'm so glad you're here! 🐾My love for animals started when I was a kid. I remember spending time at the library reading dog breed books and learning about all the different personalities and traits that make each animal unique. That passion turned into my first job at 13 when I started helping at my neighbor's dog grooming salon. I began walking her dogs and other neighbors' dogs, then started dog sitting as well. It was the best first job I could have asked for because I got to spend my time doing something I truly loved. For over 10 years, I have continued building my experience with animals through dog walking, pet sitting, working at PetSmart, Petco, and boarding facilities. I have cared for pets with different breeds, ages, personalities, and needs, and I love creating a safe and comfortable environment where they feel loved. I truly love all animals and believe every pet deserves kindness, patience, and compassion. I care for both dogs and cats, and I even look after the stray cats in my neighborhood because I believe every animal deserves care and a little extra love. My dream is to open my own doggy daycare one day, and caring for pets through Rover allows me to continue doing what I love while building meaningful relationships with pets and their families. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry friends! 🐶🐱 I work during the day, but I am available for pet care after 4 PM on weekdays and have availability on weekends. I enjoy using my free time to care for animals, whether that means walks, drop-in visits, playtime, feeding routines, or simply giving pets some extra love and attention. I understand how important consistency is for pets, so I make sure to follow their normal routines and provide dependable care. Spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy, and I love being able to give pet parents peace of mind while they’re away. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets. I make sure to follow each pet’s routine, respect their home, and provide the same love and attention I would want for my own animals. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, needs, and comfort level so they feel safe and cared for while their owner is away. My goal is to give both pets and owners peace of mind.
“Valeria was amazing! Truly had the best experience with her. She was so communicative and had great attention to detail. Cannot recommend her enough! We will definitely book with her again ❤️”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - West Springs
Emma was amazing with Alex! He looked so happy in every update and photo she sent, which really put my mind at ease while I was away. She was incredibly patient with him, especially since he can be a little difficult when it comes to eating, and I was so happy she got him to eat. I couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter!
I got home to two pups who were excited to see me, but otherwise calm and happy. Dylan is a kind, chill presence and it seemed that Rocko and Hazel took their cue from that, and followed suit. They were obviously well cared for. The ability to remain home, for these two anyway, went a long way in giving me the peace of mind to be away for a few days. I would not hesitate to recommend Dylan to friends, neighbors or family needing care for their pets, nor will I hesitate to place Rocko and Hazel in Dylan's reliable hands in the future. Thank you so much, Dylan!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in West Springs on Rover is $32.1 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 4,235 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across West Springs. 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 Springs 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 Springs 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 Springs 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.
