“Fandi and Martin were extremely kind and attentive to Chloe during our week long vacation. We received just enough communication to allow us to know Chloe was in good hands! Thank you very much for keeping her busy and keeping her safe!”
About: I've been pet and house sitting since grade school and will treat your pet like the member of the family they are. We all love our pets and want them taken care of in the best way possible. I have a flexible schedule and will make room for what you and your pets need when they need it. I have reliable transportation and am very punctual. I'm always on top of keeping doors and gates secured so there's no danger of an escape act occurring. Leashes and harnesses are essential for a good walk.
“Loghan did a great job taking care of our 16 year old shih tzu. She was very kind and compassionate as well as respectful of our home. We would definitely use her services again in the future.”
“It was such a relief having Hailey watch our dog while we were away. She took such good care of him, especially considering caring for his allergies can be a bit of a daunting task. Not only was he well cared for but he was definitely given a lot of love by her while we were away. Which also means the world to us. We would recommend her to anyone!”
“Rosemary was wonderful, she was so sweet with my pups. She treated them like they were her own, loved, played and cuddled them. She asked all the right questions and followed my instructions perfectly. I highly recommend her and will definitely be using her again!💕”
“We cant thank Matt enough for watching Indy on our wedding day. He was able to stick by Indy’s side through all the chaos going on in the house. I was worried about our pup since it would be a new experience for him. Matt gave me regular updates on how he was doing as well as sent pictures and really put our minds at ease. 5/5 would recommend!”
“Jane was great! Benny and Murphy had a wonderful time with her and she sent photos regularly. Even when they woke her up very early, she sent a photo of them snuggling before she got some more rest. Would definitely book again! Thank you Jane for taking care of our babies”
About: My name is Christian. I am kind, gentle, and fun loving. I will walk, run, exercise, and play fetch with your dog and care for him/her as if he/she were one of my own. I will walk any dog, any size, age, or breed. I’ve always enjoyed dogs a lot. Your dogs will have such a fun time they won’t want to leave. I am available seven days a week rain or shine and my hours are flexible. No matter what, you can count on me to walk your dog. If you require any special requests just let me know and I will see what I can do. If you need your pet washed I can do that too. I look forward to walking your dog!
“Brian was great! Not only did Oskar get loads of attention and play time, Brian kept me in the loop with photos and texts while I was out of the country--which made vacation much more relaxing. :) Oskar is a big boy with anxiety and OCD issues and Brian took him and his "special needs" totally in stride! I could literally tell when I got back that Oskar had played a ton and was contentedly very tired.It was also wonderful to return to a clean home! Five stars for sure!”
“Heather is literally our favorite!!! She comes and takes care of both of our puppies. One of them needs medication daily and is special needs and she is so attentive and gives us all the updates throughout the entire stay with photos and videos!! We love her so much for this as we struggle very much being away from them!”
“This was our first time using rover and Irina made the process smooth and stress free. She gave us constant updates and spent a lot of time with our girls. Both our cat and dog were very well taken care of and definitely received a lot of love !”
“Angelica is amazing! Our two pups and lizards where taken care of very well. I highly recommend Angelica, she sent me lots of updates and pictures of babies. She also left the house clean and tidy. thank you so much for everything.”
“Olivia was fantastic! She was flexible with our schedule, always timely, and took amazing care of our puppies. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing we had someone we could truly trust while we were away. We’d absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring dog sitter.”
“Maggie had a great time with Alex! He was very attentive, kept me updated and made my very anxious girl relaxed. We will definitely use him again to keep Maggie company!”

Jane was great! Benny and Murphy had a wonderful time with her and she sent photos regularly. Even when they woke her up very early, she sent a photo of them snuggling before she got some more rest. Would definitely book again! Thank you Jane for taking care of our babies
My dog's immediately liked Sam when she first came to meet them! The pictures and videos she sent while we were away showed me just how happy and comfortable they were with her. And it made me feel better to know they were being well loved while I was gone. It's not often I leave my dog behind, but if I had to do again I would absolutely rebook with Sam!! Thank you!
From the “meet & greet” weeks ago to arriving home today after her first stay with our two dogs, Hailey was friendly, communicative and timely which is always appreciated. She left the house clean and the dogs happy. We look forward to having her dog-sit again!
Heather is truly wonderful. She is incredibly attentive to our kiddos and very thoughtful towards us and our home. When you love your animal(s) and if they have special needs or medicines etc it can be hard sometimes to enjoy getting out into the world if you don’t have someone like her to take care of them for you. My wife and I realized on our last overnight sit that we weren’t in the slightest stressed about being away, which is a testament to the great care and communication that Heather provides as a pet sitter. Thank you Heather!!!
What a gift to find someone who loves dogs as much as I do! Our pup, Flo, took to Tara instantly. The two of them hung out like old friends, watching the Phillies game together while Mom and Dad finally got a worry-free night out. It was a great relief knowing Flo was happy, relaxed, and in great hands. Tara has that special intuition with animals that you just can’t teach. We can’t wait to have her back! 🐾

FAQs for House Sitting - Westbury
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Westbury on Rover is $88.8 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 5,816 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Westbury. 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 Westbury 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 Westbury 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 Westbury 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.

- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
