“Carleen was very helpful and gave us peace of mind while we were away. It meant a lot since this was the longest we have ever been away from our pets. She is great!”
“McKenzie did an amazing job caring for Leo while I was away. The timely communication and follow up was top notch and kept me at ease knowing he was being taken care of in absence.”
About: I have experience with dogs of all ages and sizes! I raised two dogs from puppies to adulthood and trained them myself. At the time I lived on a farm and insured to keep all of my animals (3 dogs included) safe and well behaved. I am absolutely in love with animals (as many should be) and miss having that part of my life. I am a student and work part-time. Due to this, I have to be organized and prepared. As I have worked/lived off the land, I also am not afraid of getting my hands and knees dirty. I look forward to meeting you all and your beautiful fur babies! I am currently working part time and take classes purely online. This gives me a mostly free schedule and the availability to take care of your animals! I believe a dog's comfort is top priority. I always aim to respect a dog's boundaries by reading their body language and presenting myself as not threatening.
About: Hey y’all! I have been independently caring for animals since I was 12. I have previously worked in a groomer shop as a bather and nail trimmer. I also have history of assisting with training dogs. Fortunately, my dad is a vet and I have gained a lot of knowledge through him. I am appropriately trained to administer medications to any fur babies that may need it! I have history working with animals of all ages. I can assure you that your furry friends will be in the best hands! I am currently looking for full time work and in the mean time available for every day activities with your furry friends! I am currently available whenever you need! I am willing and able to accommodate to yours and your pets needs to ensure that you and your pet are comfortable while away from each other. I unfortunately cannot bring your pet into my home due to my own animals.
“Michelle was diligent and caring while we were out of town for the weekend. We were able to travel with peace of mind due to her level of care. Will be rebooking!”
About: With three years of experience in animal welfare with time spent at CASPCA, RSPCA and RAL, I’ve had the joy of working with all kinds of dogs and kitties and getting to know the wonderful families who love them. As well as growing up in a rescue based household for German Shepards. My passion for animal care has only grown, and I’m always looking for new ways to continue doing what I love most: helping pets feel happy, safe, loved, and cared for like family. Whether your pup needs a fun walk, some extra attention while you’re away, or simply a little companionship during the day, I’m here to provide the personalized care, patience, and love they deserve. I know how much our pets mean to us, and I treat every dog I care for as if they were my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind while making sure your furry family member gets plenty of exercise, enrichment, cuddles, and tail-wagging adventures! 🐕✨ Because happy pets = happy families! 🐾 I’m daily caring for my five at home cats as well as my two resident dogs. My availability is currently very open so I'm looking for ways to continue helping families and their pets! Whatever that may be. I love shedules and appreciate them myself when I am leaving my pets with sitters. Your needs are my top priorities. I have a lot of experience with medication administration, behavioral concerns, and training needs. I want to make sure the pets and people are totally comfortable.
About: My partner and I bring over 10 years of dog care experience and 5+ years managing a stable multi-dog group. We carefully watch body language, work to prevent issues early, and keep feeding routines steady so each dog feels comfortable, safe, and well cared for. We’re comfortable working with multi-dog households, different energy levels, and group dynamics. Our focus is creating a safe, structured, and positive environment where dogs can socialize, play, and settle comfortably. My specialty is organization and structure, my partner specializes in socialization and behavioral management. Pet care is part of our daily life. Someone is home throughout the day. We organize our schedule around the dogs in our care so they receive consistent supervision, play, and individual attention. We have a fenced backyard and fenced front yard, giving dogs safe space to move, explore, and play. Inside we provide a dedicated dog room and crates for dogs of all sizes, creating a comfortable and secure place for them to rest when needed. Dogs are thoughtfully grouped by temperament, with attention to proper rest rotation and consistent feeding routines to support balance and comfort. Whether in our home or a client’s home, we focus on safety, supervision, and each dog’s individual needs. We follow established routines, maintain a steady and secure environment, and make sure every dog feels comfortable, cared for, and at ease.
“Tanti was great with our two pups. One of them was new to our household and still learning his place in a a strange new world. She was prompt, diligent, patient, and really cared for each of them. 10/10 would definitely hire her again.”
About: My biggest priority is maintaining each pet’s established routine! I always ask owners about their pet’s feeding, walking, grooming, medication, and training schedules, and I follow their instructions as closely as possible to ensure consistency and comfort while they’re away. If a pet doesn’t have a specific schedule, I typically begin the day around 8 AM with breakfast, followed by a morning walk. I usually aim for about a mile, but I’m happy to go farther for energetic pups or adjust the distance and pace for senior dogs or those with different physical needs. Afterward, I’ll wipe their paws, clean them up if needed, and spend time playing, providing enrichment, or reinforcing their usual training routines. Throughout the day, I balance exercise and playtime with plenty of affection and relaxation. For quieter pets or senior dogs, I love bringing a book and reading aloud while keeping them company and giving them lots of love! During downtime, I also make an effort to tidy up and maintain the home. My motto is to always leave a space better than I found it! In the evening, I typically follow up with dinner, another walk, and some quality time before settling in for the night. I also enjoy cooking, and with the owner’s permission, I’m happy to prepare a little dog-safe treat or meal using appropriate ingredients, provided it aligns with their dietary needs and restrictions. Above all, I’m flexible! Whether your pet thrives on a strict schedule, needs extra exercise, prefers a slower pace, or simply wants someone to cuddle with, I’m happy to adapt my day to whatever makes them feel happiest and most comfortable. I am currently going to school part time on Tuesdays and Thursdays so those days are the most difficult to schedule for me. I also work part time at Mad Science of CVA, where I am scheduled by season and typically work once-twice a week for two hours at a time. I can pet sit on these days, but depending on the time of my shift for MSCVA, I may have to leave for two-three hours before returning.

I have a pet friendly neighborhood with designated pet areas. I live in a safe and quiet neighborhood with sidewalks. During my 6 months with my family dog , all of the people in the area loved saying hi to the pets I care for.
“Maria did an excellent job caring for our two dogs while we were away. She was punctual, arriving and leaving exactly as scheduled, and followed all of our instructions perfectly. She also kept us updated with detailed reports, which gave us great peace of mind. It’s clear she is responsible, dependable, and genuinely cares about the pets she watches. We would absolutely recommend Maria to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter!”

Amazing! Bobbi made my very anxious kitty feel safe and loved. He was well cared for while we were away. Got pictures every day, communication was excellent, and they were very flexible and worked with us when we had something come up mid-trip. I felt I could trust them in my home completely with my fur boy. Do your pets a favor and hire Don and Bobbi!

The average cost of Pet Sitting in West View is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $17 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 November 2026, there are 2,250 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across West View. 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.
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.

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 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.
