“Lauren was a great sitter for our 3 crazy pups and kitty. She was responsive and also helped out when one of our pups destroyed a toy and had an accident afterwards without missing a beat. We would definitely love for her to sit again!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 10 years old. Neighbors, friends, and family. I absolutely love dogs. I take them for long walks and love to play fetch or relax on the couch with them! I can stay with dogs overnight and let them out during my lunch break and right after work! I currently work 9-3 and will give the dogs lots of attention before and after work! I am open to anything the pet owner needs - gate/leaving the dog to roam around inside the house. I am only open to staying at the owners house, not mine!
About: I’ve grown up surrounded by animals and have always had a genuine love for caring for them. I currently have pets of my own and also have experience house-sitting for families with multiple dogs and cats. I’m comfortable managing different personalities, routines, feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and lots of attention and affection. I also regularly care for a dog with significant allergies, which has taught me how important it is to follow a pet parent’s instructions carefully and pay close attention to each animal’s individual needs. I understand that every pet has their own routine and personality, and I want owners to feel completely comfortable knowing their pets are being cared for, loved, and treated like my own while they’re away. I have a flexible schedule and can work pet care around my other commitments. I’m available for drop-in visits, walks, feeding, playtime, and overnight house sitting depending on the dates needed. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal schedule as closely as possible so their routine stays consistent while you’re away. I provide care in my clients’ homes, where pets can stay comfortable in their own familiar environment. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions for feeding, walks, medications, allergies, routines, and any special needs. I always prioritize safety, keep the home secure, and give each pet the individual attention they need. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel comfortable while you’re away.

“Roger looked after my pup for three weeks while i was out of town for the holidays. He sent regular updates and my pup was well taken care of. Will definitely be re-booking. Thank you, Roger!”

“Kimberly was great! Made me feel super relaxed about leaving my two dogs with her, especially since Mochi needs a little time to calm down with new people. Kimberly sent pics and updates and the visit was smooth.”


About: I've been around dogs my entire life and have always loved caring for them. I currently live with my parents, where we have two family dogs, an Australian Kelpie and a Border Collie/Lab mix. So I'm very comfortable with energetic dogs and understand the importance of exercise, routine, and positive attention. Since graduating high school five years ago, I've regularly dog sat for friends and family, caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. Whether it's going for walks, stopping by for drop-in visits, or keeping your pup company while you're away, I'll make sure they receive the same love, care, and attention I'd want for my own dogs. I currently work four days a week, so I'm available for pet care on Thursdays, Fridays, and Sundays. On the days I work, I don't start until 1:00 PM, which means I'm also available for morning walks and drop-in visits before work. I do my best to be flexible and communicate clearly, so you can count on dependable care that fits your pet's routine! At this time, I only offer care in my clients' homes, where I believe pets are happiest and most comfortable in their familiar environment. I take the time to follow each owner's care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any other routines that help your pet feel safe and secure.
“If I could give Kimberlee more than five stars, I would! From the moment we met her, it was clear she was incredibly conscientious, detail-oriented, and genuinely cared about giving Scooby the very best care. Our dog, Scooby, is anxious around other dogs and does much better staying in her own home with a trusted person. Kimberlee was absolutely perfect for her. She was accommodating, thoughtful, and went above and beyond in every way. She kept us updated with wonderful photos, and honestly, you could see in every single one how much Scooby adored her. As pet parents, that kind of peace of mind is priceless. Knowing she was not only safe but truly happy allowed us to completely relax and enjoy our time away. It takes a special person to earn the trust of an anxious dog, and Kimberlee did just that with patience, kindness, and genuine affection. We are beyond grateful that she was Scooby’s person while we were away. I cannot recommend Kimberlee highly enough, and we will absolutely be booking her again. Thank you, Kimberlee, for taking such incredible care of our girl!”

About: I've cared for cats, dogs, mini ponies, horses, chickens, cows, mini pigs, pot-bellied pigs, and tortoises after living on a working ranch with a wide range of animals. There isn’t a fur baby too small or too big that I can’t handle. I have an open schedule and can work with any routines. I can be up early or out late. And I can keep to any personal schedule your fur babies have. I have indoor kennels and outdoor kennels, multiple leashes and harnesses, and a large property to run around on. My house is extremely pet-friendly; snuggles on the couch are encouraged!
About: Hi, My name is Brooke I go by Seven and my entire life has been surrounded by animals, from catching frogs, lizards, feeding the squirrels and always just having that touch even with the animals that don't trust or care for most humans. I have that special something. I started walking the whole neighborhoods dogs when i was 9 years old, i would walk up to 5 at a time. At the age of 13 i started volunteering for an animal rescue fostering dogs and cats. I was the girl growing up all my friends would bring stray or lost animals too. 16 i started working as a vet assistant, at 18 working a 150 dog ranch/doggie daycare and boarding facility to then move on into my early twenties working a place in Seattle called Dogwood Play Park, the first of its kind. It was an indoor outdoor 21 plus play park and daycare. Owners could bring their dogs to play while they had a beer and got to know other dog lovers, I built many beautiful dog... and people friendships there. I have always been told by the owners they that their dogs listens to me better..I say its just cause i am alpha pack leader!! I have massive respect and love for all animals. I worked in Portland Oregon on a farm in 2022 called Trisklee farm where i cared for all the animals on the property as farmer seven, i did weekend tours of the farm and helped run kids summer camp.I am very good with all ages and types of animals. My biggest strength is animal body language, i can read an animals move before they do it. Something i have picked up over my life span over working with animals everyday. I can administer medications and very aware of your pets behaviors to make sure they feel the most comfortable at all times. I owned guinea pigs, giant Flemish Rex rabbit, cats, and just recently lost my best friends Clyde who was a mastiff Doberman this June , he was almost 12. And Alice my English mastiff who was almost 11 back in 2023 . large breeds are my specialty. I just had a new born on July 29th 2026 and have a year and a half year old as well. I am a stay at home mom who misses her pets and want my children to grow up around animals without making the commitment right now to add to the family. So being good around children who are young and learning boundaries is a must so we don’t put your pet or my children in an uncomfortable or dangerous situation. Hope to hear from you and care for your furry babies . I am a doula and stay at home mom I jsut lost my soul dog and looking to add some furry friends to our pack as friends for my children to learn to be around and get some love . I am very loving at attentive, I notice your pets needs almost immediately and what works for them. I’ll be as involved or chill as they need me to be. It’s your pets world I’m living in it. Yet I’m still alpha and set boundaries
“We really appreciate the good care from Faith for our pup Theo. She was prompt in responding, always conscientious, and everything went very smoothly while we were out of town.”


“Rebekah took great care of my dog. She took him on daily hikes or walks , sent picture updates while I was away , and gave him lots of tlc. I felt really safe leaving my dog in her care and will definitely use her in the future.”

About: I have been taking care of pets since I was born with my first Golden Retriever “Missy”. My family has had a wide variety of animals from dogs and cats, to hamsters and bunnies, all the way to horses. I am often called on by my fiends to pet sit as I am known as the friend with a surplus of pets. I currently have a small dog named Munchie with many different health problems such as anxiety and epilepsy which gives me experience in caring for dogs with specific needs. I also currently have a large dog who is a Shepard, Boxer mix named Leo who gives me experience in caring for large dogs and their active and rambunctious needs. Along with my two dogs I have four cats who give me experience in the joy of caring for cats. As a pet owner I know the struggle of finding a good and trustworthy pet sitter. That is why I want to be able to be that pet sitter that will allow you to enjoy your vacation or go to work with the peace of mind knowing your pet is being taken care of. I am currently employed full time with a 9-5 schedule and fitting time to care for a dog or cat in my free time brings me so much joy. I live in a wonderful warm home for anyone interested in my boarding services and I for drop-in visits I am able to provide the love and attention your pet needs with lots of pets, playtime, walks and treats!
“Avery was great! She listened and asked questions throughout the meet & greet and our animals naturally gravitated towards her. She was communicative during the stay and made sure they had a ton of outside time!”


About: I have experience with large and small pets, multiple pets, long/extended stays. I have a background in property management and pets/family. I am also a web developer so feel free to say hello. A property manager for 10 years, web developer and business owner. I have the temperament, intuition and experience to give your loved ones the care and attention they deserve and require. Long term stays (5-30 days or more) are in my experience. Remote locations or unique situations can be accommodated. I have a flexible schedule, resources and local knowledge to make sure your loved one has all the backup they require in all manner of circumstances. The most important thing is to plan and be prepared and ask questions. Safety first! I have experience sitting on a large country farm to beach houses to brownstones in Boston.
“Jordan was fantastic. During the Meet & Greet, she asked all the right questions and it was very clear from the start that she is a professional who takes dog- and house-sitting seriously. We had her watched three large dogs for a full day and everything went smoothly. The dogs loved her and she kept us informed of how things were going. My daughter (two the three dogs were hers) also had high praise for Jordan. We will definitely seek out her services when we next need someone to watch Gracie.”

About: I am a huge animal lover and have spent a lot of time rescuing homeless cats in my neighborhood. I have trapped 20 stray cats, vetted them, and found them homes. From this I have 7 of my own cats. I also have rescued two dogs from shelters. One is a Pitbull and the other an English Bull Dog. Growing up I always had pets around.

About: As a lifelong animal lover with a calm, attentive nature, I treat every pet like my own—giving them personalized care, patience, and affection. What sets me apart is my ability to quickly build trust with both pets and their owners, creating a stress-free experience for everyone. Whether it's playtime, walks, or quiet companionship, I adapt to each pet's unique personality and needs to ensure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away I have open availability as I’m taking a gap semester off of college. Therefore pet care would take up a good amount of my daily routine. I treat every client’s home with the utmost respect, just as I would my own. I make sure to follow any specific instructions given, keep spaces clean and organized, and maintain a quiet, calm environment for your pet

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Westbrook is $49 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $36 and $63 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 1,170 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Westbrook. 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 Westbrook 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 Westbrook 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 Westbrook 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Westbrook. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
