“Sydney is amazing!!! We have two high energy / high anxiety Boston Terriers and two very social cats - she was great with all of them! She sent adorable pictures, checked in often, sent lots of updates. The dogs clearly had a good time, the house is exactly as we left it, she was prompt, professional, and kind... Literally all the things you are looking for when you're leaving your pets home with someone for days. We'll definitely book her again any time we need someone to stay at the house!!”
“Renee was great, checking in with questions when needed. One of my dogs is more needy and she let me know so I could offer suggestions. I've invited her to come back and she said yes, so that's a good sign!”
“I cannot begin to say how much we have appreciated the care provided by Sara. Her timely communication with human owners as well as feline care skills are second to none. We highly recommend her as a house sitter/cat sitter should you ever need such support!”
“Sergey was great! We hired him for house/dog sitting while we were away for a long weekend and he made it so easy for us. The dogs liked him, and he clearly gave them a lot of attention. When we came home the house was spotless. You would have had no idea someone had been staying there for 4 days. He was very easy to get ahold of, and followed up a few days before the booking to confirm and schedule a second meet & greet. Would absolutely recommend.”
“Madeleine is kind and caring with My cocker spaniel. She grew up with animals, including a cocker, so she knew just what my dog needed. I have many items in the daily routine, and she tried to make it work. She’s very loving with him. And since this was also a house sit, Madeleine made a great effort to Clean up bedroom, bathroom, and kitchen. I would recommend her without reservation.”
“Jay stayed with my dog Lucy while I went on a business trip across the country and she was so wonderful with my sweet old girl. She was very curious about Lucy’s needs and communicated with me and shared some pictures along the way. I came home to a happy dog and I’m so grateful to Jay for taking such good care of her!”
“Brooklynn did an awesome job watching our dog Sadie for the night. We reached out to her with fairly short notice and she was very accommodating in setting up a meet and greet beforehand. She was great with communication, followed all of our instructions, and kept us updated with pics.”
“Jade was awesome with our dog Honey Bee! She met up with us beforehand so everyone could get acquainted, which made leaving for the weekend way less stressful. She took Honeybee on two long walks a day and sent us a ton of pictures. We always knew exactly how she was doing. We’d absolutely book her again.”
“This was my first experience with Sparrow and I was delighted to see how happy my cat Rasmo was to be in their tender and attentivecare. Sparrow sent lots of updates and was very responsive to my questions. I also received lots of photos showing Rasmo snuggled up and relaxed, which really helped to put my mind at ease while I was away. I would hire Sparrow back anytime!”
“Ryan was great in all areas. He took wonderful care of our dog, Butters. From handling medications and feeding, to going on walks, we were very happy with Ryan’s approach. He is a strong communicator and very friendly. He also kept the house very clean while we were away. We greatly appreciate his help and would be happy to use his services again!”
About: Hi, I’m Estelle! With 15+ years of experience, I love caring for dogs and cats of all kinds. Whether it’s a fun walk or a cozy boarding stay, your pet will get plenty of love, play, and attention! I am a current medical student studying to become at doctor. My schedule, while demanding, is pretty flexible. Available most weeknights and weekends with select days blocked for exams and travel. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I tailor my care to their unique personality and needs, and I treat every home with the same respect I’d want for my own.
“Working with Samantha was a dream! We left our puppy, Arthur, for a wedding which was extremely difficult, but working with Sam made it 100x better since we knew he was in good hands. She kept us updated with pictures and texts throughout our trip and Arthur clearly had the time of his life. She’s the best!!”
“Celine was always quick with communication from beginning to end. She stayed with our two crazy pups, one who can be a handful. She shared pictures, followed their routines, and let our puppy sleep under the covers with her in bed!”
“Lynn is a great communicator, and she follows through on m many detailed instructions (medications, treats, dog habits). I can relax when Gus is with Lynn since I know she is capable, kind and responsible.”
“Kari did a wonderful job caring for our dog, Butters! She took care of his medical needs and was very good at communication, providing us routine updates and photos. She also left the house clean, which was greatly appreciated. We would be happy to have Kari back to help us out in the future and highly recommend her!”
“Sarah helped us out at the last minute and was amazing!!! We got updates and our animals were well cared for and happy campers when we got home!!! The house was well taken care of too!! We will definitely have her stay with our fur babies again!!! Highly recommend!!!”
“John was an awesome pupsitter and we would definitely hire him again! He was communicative, thorough, and very attentive to our 2 dogs over the course of the week that he watched them. Highly recommend him!”
“Emily was great with our 3 dogs, fish, and bearded dragon while we were away for two weeks! I felt at ease the entirety of our trip with her watching our animals. She kept us updated with pictures and was available if we needed to contact her. I wouldn't hesitate to book with her again”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Westbrook
We cannot say enough wonderful things about Steph! She went truly above and beyond while we were away visiting family. She took on extra house responsibilities with such grace, gave Gatsby exceptional care (especially when he experienced a scary seizure), and made sure everything was taken care of while we were gone. After a long day of flying across the country, I came home to an incredibly clean and welcoming house. It was very clear that Steph did so much extra without ever being asked. What I appreciate most is the peace of mind she gives us. I was able to fully enjoy my time with family and stay present without constantly worrying or checking in because I completely trust her. Steph is reliable, thoughtful, compassionate, and truly treats our home and pet with care. We have used her multiple times, and each experience has been wonderful. We are so grateful to have found her and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who goes above and beyond!
Sydney is amazing!!! We have two high energy / high anxiety Boston Terriers and two very social cats - she was great with all of them! She sent adorable pictures, checked in often, sent lots of updates. The dogs clearly had a good time, the house is exactly as we left it, she was prompt, professional, and kind... Literally all the things you are looking for when you're leaving your pets home with someone for days. We'll definitely book her again any time we need someone to stay at the house!!
I’m so grateful that we found Lyndsey. She was beyond kind to our animals, including our eight month old puppy who is still learning his way along and needs a lot of patience! She came over before the visit to get to know everyone and asked great, thoughtful questions, and during the visit she sent regular detailed updates and great photos. Can’t recommend her highly enough.
Jay took great care of our house and our girl, Winnie, while we were on vacation. We would highly recommend to anyone looking for pet care and housesitting services! Jay was prompt, easy to reach, followed Winnie’s daily routines, and provided thoughtful updates and photos.
Goldie house-sat for me for two nights and watched my dog Zoey. Her calm demeanor was great for my dog who gets a little anxious with change. She sent updates regularly and followed Zoey’s routine. I had peace of mind knowing she was in Goldie’s care and was able to enjoy my time away. Goldie was respectful of the space and left the apartment looking clean. Highly recommend her for any pet care needs!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Westbrook on Rover is $60 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 692 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Westbrook. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
