“Samantha was incredible! She was so wonderful with the animals, flexible when plans changed and we needed to adapt, and so kind, responsible, and a great communicator and pet photographer 😂❤️ We are so thankful and grateful for her!!”
“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!”
About: My life has been filled with the joy of both dogs and cats. As a child, I grew up with Collies and adopted my first cat in college. In my adult life, my husband and I have raised a black lab/golden retriever, three Great Pyrenees and five cats. Our current household is with our beloved 14 year old Great Pyrenees, Dolly and our two cats, Licorice and Ken. My love and care for my own pets is something that I would like to offer now to others. I am a dedicated pet owner and enjoy taking my own dog for daily walks every day, and enjoy spending quality time with my indoor cats. I am comfortable with all breeds, sizes and ages of both dogs and cats and would love to offer my love and care to your fur babies! I currently work during the day at an elementary school, Monday - Friday. My availability during the week is limited to afternoon/evenings. During the summer months (starting in later June), my schedule opens up to morning, afternoon and evenings. Weekends, I am typically available morning, afternoon and evenings. I will try to be as flexible as I can be to work with your schedule! I will provide all the loving care to your pets in your that I provide to my own pets in my home. I look forward to getting to know them, to earn their trust, and to meet their needs - through exercise, playtime, feeding, cleaning, and most importantly, lots of love!
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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!”
“Celine did an excellent job caring for our pets while we were away! She was absolutely wonderful with our dog, taking her on lots of walks, giving her plenty of snuggles, and keeping her happy. We would absolutely recommend Celine to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter!”
“Nishat was absolutely phenomenal! We could not have asked for a better person to take care of our Ellie. She sent us updates, photos, and communication was top notch. She was devoted to our pup during their time together. We are truly happy and will definitely be using Nishat again!”
“Lily was great! Prompt communication — with pics! She followed the instructions we left for her. And most importantly — Lucy loved her immediately. Thanks for taking such good care of our GSD.”
“Brooklynn was wonderful with our dog Otto! She sent us frequent updates and photos, took him for fun adventures, and made sure he was happy and safe while we were away for the weekend. She left our house spotless too! We would definitely love to have Brooklynn spend time with Otto again. Thank you, Brooklynn!”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, and have been helping to care for them (walking, feeding, etc.) since I was around 10 years old. I’ve pet sit for many family friends throughout the years - dogs and cats alike. Recently I even housesat for 4 dogs and 2 cats all at the same time! My family dogs both recently passed away and I’ve been looking for something to fill the whole in my heart. Would love to take care of your pets! I am a freelance writer, musician, and retail associate, so I’m able to make my own schedule a lot of the time. I’m free during the day Monday-Thursday to walk your pooch or for drop-in visits, and I’m available after work on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays (I typically get off around 3-5 pm). I can walk, feed, or house sit for your dogs or cats. Also just love spending time with them in general! Whatever you need, I’m here to help.
“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.”
“Abigail did an awesome job watching Finn for us- arrived when expected, and followed all the care instructions we discussed. We appreciate it so much! Even the neighbors told us how good she was with Finn and that he loved being with her. We Will definitely be a repeat customer!”
“Lindsay was great! She brought us peace of mind during our vacation, as we knew our Gatsby was in good hands. She checked in multiple times a day with precious pictures of our fur baby and communicated wonderfully. She comes with glowing reviews, and the moment I met her, I knew she was going to be such a blessing to our family. Gatsby loved her so much — they bonded almost immediately. This was the first time during a vacation that I didn’t worry about my dog or home. I was fully present with my family. Upon our return, she left us with a beautiful pot of coffee, peaceful music playing, a very clean home, and one happy dog. We love you, Lindsay! Thank you for everything!”
“Jackiellen is the best! She house sat our two senior cats and pup and it was so wonderful knowing our pets and home were looked after! She gets the best photos, is a great communicator and takes her time and care with our girls. We have two pets that need meds and it’s such a relief to have someone trustworthy take care of them! So happy we found Jackiellen :)”
“We are so happy to have found Rachel! We have an older dog and were worried about leaving her with someone new but Rachel was great with her. Would absolutely recommend!”

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.
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.
