“Amy stayed at my home and took wonderful care of my dog while I was out of town for 9 days. He is 10 years old and has some medical issues that require him to take medication, she handled this with ease. I do get stressed when leaving him. Amy was very communicative with updates and sent lots of photos which definitely alleviated my stress and allowed me to enjoy my time away. I highly recommend Amy should you be looking for someone to take care of your pet. I will definitely look to book with Amy again when I need someone to care for Napoleon.”
“Our dogs and our family loved Bethany. She put all our fears at ease, as we have never used a dog sitting service before. Scheduled a meet and greet before hand and was able to see personally that our dogs loved her as well as photos during her stay and updates. Our babies have a new best friend when Mom and Dad can’t be home. ❤️”
“Hannah was very conscientious about taking care of our three cats and dog while we were away for a week. She communicated well and left the house in good order. I would definitely ask her to take care of our pets again and would recommend her highly!”

“Ren just acquired, yet another client. My babies were calm and happy when I got home. It appears she took very very good care of them. She will send pictures and constant updates. Brought this nervous momma peace of mind. Thank you so much Ren!!”
“Victoria is a nice lady and the dogs like her okay. But my roommate said that you did not do what I paid her to do. As in she did not walk the dogs one day and she had a hard time staying at the house if nobody was hanging out with her. If I had wanted to pay her for drop-ins I would have.”
“Stephen is awesome! He was able to accommodate us even though it was very short notice. We have 2 dogs, a small Maltese and a big Weimaraner. The big one can be imposing when you walk through the door and she barks at you with her hair standing on its ends, but Stephen immediately sat in the floor and let her get it all out of her system without a flinch. He knows how to put the pups at ease! My wife works from home and the dogs are used to someone always being there, Stephen is the first sitter we’ve had (and we’ve tried out several) that showed up with a suitcase! We knew immediately that this guy was what we have been searching for, someone that would basically live in our home while we were away with the sole purpose of watching over our furbabies. And he did his job impeccably! He sent lots of pics and video without us having to ask and was always prompt with a response if we ever needed him. When we returned home the house was still tidy and in order and I’m pretty sure the dogs looked past us trying to figure out where Stephen was, LOL. If you need a drop in visit or someone to come by and walk your dogs this guy can do it all and I promise your pets will look forward to him returning, and if you need someone that will basically live in your home with your furry loved ones while on vacation then look no further you have found the pinnacle of dog sitting! We will definitely use Stephen for any dog sitting needs we have in the future.”
“Danielle was absolutely wonderful! From the moment she arrived we received updates on our 2 pups. She sent photos and let us know when they had eaten, done their business, gone for walks, etc. She handled our senior dogs medication flawlessly, and their special feeding instructions were carried out perfectly. Both our dogs truly enjoyed their time with her, she was a blessing to our family while we were away. 10/10 would recommend Danielle, and will use her again in the future.”
“This is the second time I’ve used Josue and I have not had any problems at all. He is very good with Mylo and very responsive when needed. Kept my place in good condition and took great care of Mylo! Will be using him again!”
“Maria took excellent care of my babies and house. She provided daily updates with pictures. My house was left in perfect condition. I would definitely recommend her and will be using her for future visits.”
“Debbie did a fantastic job taking care of my 4 dogs over the weekend. She was so personable, was excited to meet each dog, and lived on them like they were her own dogs. Debbie also took care of the house, straightened up prior to our return, and even washed the cloths I had left in the washer. I will definitely request Debbie next time I need a sitter.”
About: I have had dogs in my house since I was born and love all animals. I have experience in walking and sitting dogs and cats from the animal shelter as well, so I am comfortable with all shapes and sizes. I am a seasonal worker so I move around and often have crazy jobs. Pet care is something I love to do for fun, and a bit extra cash. If you book with me, you and your baby will be my top priority! I will make sure they get walked and fed while giving them a bunch of hugs and kisses! If your area is safe to take them out, I enjoy taking them for walks or playing out back with their favorite toys.
“Nolan was wonderful! She made sure my dogs had exercise before the heat set in and was truthworthy with access to the home without someone being there. Truly appreciate her and will hire her again!”
About: I have been around and had dogs my whole life. I grew up with chow chows but currently raise 2 rescues and a husky. I truly enjoy animals and being outdoors. I follow instructions well and do well under pressure. I am the grandmother of 4 cats and sometimes more, my daughter has a cat distribution problem. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, I can work easily around you and your pets needs to make sure they're as comfortable and anxiety free as possible! Your pet’s safety and your peace of mind are my highest priorities. When caring for your pets in your space, I treat your home and routine with the utmost respect. I strictly follow all instructions for locking up, managing alarm codes, and handling house keys or lockboxes. On Walks, double-check leashes/harnesses and remain alert to environmental hazards. Doors and gates are always secured behind. You will receive detailed report cards and photo/video updates during every single visit so you always know how your pet is doing. I will keep your emergency contact numbers saved, watch closely for any changes in your pet's behavior or health, and will communicate immediately if any questions arise. I provide drop ins, walking, and house sitting- no overnight stays.
“Aunya watched my dog for me while I was out of town. My dog is an anxious rescue, and Aunya did so well with her! I’m glad I could have someone trustworthy and reliable to care for my fur baby.”
About: Experienced dog-sitter looking to serve clients in the North Alabama area! My father has a senior boxer mix whom I care for on my parents' vacations and my aunt has a West Highland Scottish White Terrier that I drop in daily to take care of on their vacations, all with walks, potty breaks, feeding and watering, and accident cleanup! Message me to book a service today 😊 I'm currently self employed and will soon be working on a training program for Spanish to English medical interpreting so generally, I can make time in any schedule to care for your pet! I treat your home as though it were my own and your pet as though he or she were my own. I've been taking care of my aunt's Westie for 2 years without incident and so I'm your guy if you want an attentive carer that isn't going to just be "in and out."
About: I’ve always had dogs growing up, and while my parents are away I go over and house sit and take care of their dogs. I also watch my neighbors dogs while they are on vacation. I’m currently working part-time and will be finishing up my college semester. During summer I will have a lot of free time during mid-day to check in on your babies! My dogs are like household members so I treat them with respect and give them lots of love. I take them out, and take them for walks when needed and they love to go for drives (especially when it ends with pupcups.)

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
