About: I have worked on a farm for the past 2 years caring for a wide variety of animals. I have also owned cats and dogs my whole life. I am currently working part time and will have plenty of time in my day to care for your animals! My schedule changes weekly but my availability will be adjusted based on my schedule. I am very detail oriented and will follow the owners instructions. I have a lot of experience with animals and thoroughly enjoy spending quality time with pets!
“Sarah was amazing. She is helpful, kind, and creative. My newly adopted dog is struggling with separation anxiety; knowing I could trust Sarah to keep him engaged and happy while I was out of the house was such a relief.”
“Isaiah exceeds all my expectations for taking care of and staying with my dog at my house. He is responsible, provides regular updates including pictures, and treats Blitz as his own dog.”
“Alexys took such good care of our cats and dog! She's caring, pays attention to the details, and left our house in perfect condition. We're definitely booking her right now for our next trip.”
“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!💕”
“Cara was great. She watched my 3 dogs in my home while my husband and I were away. She was on time and I know my dogs were well taken care of. I would definitely recommend Cara if you need a reliable and caring dog sitter.”
“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 !”
“We have never used a boarding /dog sitting service before . Never left our dog with someone who wasn’t a family member so I was so apprehensive, but meeting Dana put my nerves at ease instantly! And my dog immediately loved her! She was wonderful and I HIGHLY recommend!”
“Dana was fantastic! He stayed with our large pitty mix and loud cat for 5 days and handled them both with ease! I appreciate that he really stayed at our home. He communicated regularly with amusing stories and photos. Would definitely work with him again!”
“Heather went above and beyond caring for our pup on our first trip without him. She sent us tons of wonderful photos and updates and even was able to continue caring for Indy after getting into a fender bender on one of the days. Indy loved her and was happy and content as could be when we got home. She even took in packages for us and filled up his kong toys. Heather made sure to spend quality time + cuddles and belly rubs and was able to spend a little extra time with him so he could have a longer break from the crate. We will definitely be reaching back out to Heather again! Thank you so much Heather!”
“Shannon was terrific. She loved the dogs and the dogs loved her. Our pack is a bit challenging at times and she embraced their quirks. Thank you, Shannon!!”
“Saint loved her as soon as he met her, which was a great sign! She was so caring, followed all of our instructions, and kept us updated with pictures. We really appreciated how great she was with him and would definitely recommend her! 🐾❤️”
About: I have taken care of cats and dogs my whole life! When I lived with my parents, we had a dog and 3 cats. When I was 11, I worked with my mother at a pet resort to care for cats and dogs. We would walk, feed, wash, spend time, even give sweet treats at the end of the day. Nowadays, my boyfriend and I have 1 dog and 1 cat in our home. I have owned different fish, axolotls, a snakes, leopard geckos, a chameleon, turtles and a frog previously. If you couldn't guess, I am a huge animal lover, of all types! My first dog that I've owned by myself you'll see in my profile picture, Athena. I have had her since she was born! Besides positive dog training, I have trained her to be my service animal, and she has passed her Canine Good Citizens Test last year. I've learned so much about multiple animals. Since I was 11, I have handled dogs who are dog-agressive, and used to live with a dog who was. I had owned a dog that had seperarion anxiety, I know how helpful this service will be for that! Throughout the years, I have pet sitter for friends and family. Nothing brings me more joy then spending time with the fur babies. It means a lot to be someone others can confide in when having to leave their pets at home. That's why I am here! I'm currently working for the government as an HR Professional, Monday thriugh Friday with 2 days work from home. I would love to work around my schedule to help people with their pets. When it comes to someone's home, I like to make sure everything is kept the same as it was before I got there. If anything, I like to leave it clean. I respect anyone's space, so nothing will be left a mess or dirty while I am there. I will utilize the toys and treats you have that are used for your pet specifically.
“Kendra was amazing! I've never used a dog sitter and was reluctant at first, as I have very anxious dogs; one being a pit mix who is very attached. After our first meeting, he ran right to her, which I've never seen him do with a stranger. Kendra sat for us while away for our daughrers wedding. She was so detailed and provided so many pictures and updates throughout the day. It eased me so much. I would highly recommend Kendra and cant wait to use her again. Bronx and Bella absolutely loved her.”
About: Hi, I’m April! I’m 28 and live in Philadelphia in a house with a fenced-in yard. I’m a lifelong dog lover and currently have two dogs of my own—my oldest is 12 years old and my youngest is 1½—so I’m comfortable caring for dogs at different ages, energy levels, and stages of life. I work from home on Mondays and Fridays, which gives me the flexibility to spend extra time with dogs and make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship. I’m looking to pick up a second gig doing something I genuinely enjoy, and caring for dogs feels like the perfect fit. Whether your dog needs a walk, some extra attention during the day, or a comfortable place to stay while you're away, I’d love to help. I understand how important it is to feel comfortable and confident leaving your dog in someone else’s care, and I’ll treat your pup like one of my own. I have a fenced yard where dogs can safely get some fresh air and play, and I’m happy to follow your dog’s usual routine, preferences, and care instructions. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pup! 🐾 I work from home Mondays and Fridays and during the week I work 9-5. I will be able to fit pet care into my schedule fairly easily especially on weekends, or before and after work. I love animals and care for them as they were my own. I have two dogs of my own, who are spoiled and loved very much.
“Maria did a great job caring for Blu and Leo during her stay. She was attentive, communicative, and patient, especially with Blu’s crate training. I appreciated how smoothly the evening went and how she kept me updated throughout the night. I’d happily have her sit for my pets again!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Westbury is $60

Devyn is 5 stars! We will absolutely hire her again in the future. She shared updated photos and kept in touch while we were away. The house was immaculate and our dog was missing Devyn after a few hours. Thank you Devyn for what you do, you really are a dog whisperer
Sara took great care of our elderly dog and our young active cat. She sent us adorable pictures of them and little updates along the way. This was our first time with a dog sitter, and she made it so easy for us to relax and enjoy our vacation knowing our pets were well cared for!
We had a wonderful experience with Rosemary K! She cared for our three dogs in our home on the day of our son’s wedding, and we couldn’t have been happier with the attention and love she gave them. We needed someone on short notice, and Rosemary was absolutely amazing. She kept us updated throughout the day and sent us pictures of our dogs, giving us complete peace of mind so we could fully enjoy such an important family occasion without worrying about them\. We highly recommend Rosemary to anyone looking for a caring, dependable, and trustworthy pet sitter\. Thank you so much, Rosemary K.💙💙💙
Fortunately Hailey was available to care for Rosie while I was away for almost 2 weeks. It’s always a huge relief when she is available! I know Rosie will be at home, well cared for, happy and content. I know Hailey will check in with me but knows what to do in the very likely event I am without WiFi and can’t respond. I can relax while away knowing that Rosie is in Hailey’s capable, loving hands.
Loghan was the best! She not only accepted our last minute request, she went above and beyond making sure our dogs were comfortable while we were on vacation. She sent pictures and updates frequently. Will absolutely recommend her services to friends and family.
Riley is fantastic with my dog breaker. Even my family who comes home to relieve her of doggie watching loves her. Kind and bubbly and she really relates to my dog and knows what she wants. I love being at work getting pictures of my dog snuggling with Riley or having fun on a walk. Highly recommend booking with her.
We had such a wonderful experience with Kyle! He took amazing care of our dogs while we were away and gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in great hands. His communication was fantastic. He kept us updated, sent pictures, and made it clear that our our dogs were happy, comfortable, and well cared for! It’s always hard leaving your pets behind, but having someone you can trust makes all the difference. We came home to two very happy dogs! We would absolutely recommend Kyle to anyone who needs pet sitting! 🐾💛
This was this was my first time using Rover. My dog unexpectedly went into heat and we had to make alternate plans for her care. Christian responded quickly and efficiently. We felt fully confident in leaving our dog with him, even though she was requiring additional care and Grooming due to her heat. I would absolute him again!
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

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Westbury is $30 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $51 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 October 2026, there are 5,595 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 , 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.
