“I had a last minute cancellation for pet sitting and was able to find Peter whom did a wonderful job at taking care of my dog. He took my dog on nice walking trails and gave me suggestions on caretaking him. Peter is really down to earth and I believe my dog really trusted and enjoyed his company. I am very grateful to Peter and hope he has success in pet sitting in the future!”
“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.”
“Excellent communication and was very responsive to my request for a sitter. Sent videos and photos of my dogs to keep me updated. The dogs looked to be having a blast with her. Would use her again.”
“Hailey really went above and beyond! When my cat Pip got finicky about eating his wet food (which has his meds crushed in), Hailey was patient and tireless in her efforts to troubleshoot. She even went to the grocery store late at night to get a different kind of food for Pip (which worked!) just to make sure he could get his meds that evening. She was great with sending updates and pictures, and is just a very sweet and thoughtful person. Highly recommend Hailey!”
About: Hi! My name is Maura. I’ve owned and cared for dogs for most of my life. I also have experience caring for cats, birds, chickens and horses. I’m an experienced house and pet sitter— I’ve cared for both grown animals and little ones alike. I’m comfortable providing company, keeping the animals on a schedule, and even continuing training schedules while you’re gone. I can provide references if needed! At the moment I’m in-between jobs, having just completed a summer internship abroad. So most of my day is spent job searching. I like to get outside and go for walks or runs on the daily, so oftentimes I’ll take my dog with me. I am also a moderate early-riser. I’m naturally up around 7:30, and I’ll usually feed the pets first thing. However, I do get up earlier if that’s the schedule the pets are on! When it comes to taking care of the pets in your home, I usually try and follow the established routines that they’re already used to. Throughout the day, I’ll take breaks from whatever chores or work I’m doing on my computer to spend time with the pets, playing or walking outside. Sometimes we just sunbathe ☀️ while I read a book in the late afternoon. It depends on the pet, but generally it’s just a lot of spending time together!
About: I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember, and I’m always excited to meet a new furry friend! I grew up with dogs and have cared for pups of all different sizes, ages, and personalities. Whether your dog is full of energy and ready for a long walk or would rather spend the day playing, getting belly rubs, and hanging out, I’m happy to keep them company! Friends and family have trusted me with their dogs when they’re away, and I genuinely love getting to know each dog’s personality and routine. I’m always ready for walks, playtime, cuddles, and plenty of attention. My goal is to make sure your pup has a fun, happy day while you’re away! ♡ I’m currently working towards a masters and my classes are all at night. This gives me lots of flexibility to spend time with your pets during the day! I’m available for walks, drop ins, and visits throughout the weekdays, times when your pet might otherwise be home alone. Weekend availability varies, so feel free to reach out and I’ll be happy to let you know what I can accommodate. ⚠️ Quick Note on House Sitting | Boarding My standard overnight house sitting rate includes overnight care and plenty of time with your pet throughout the day, as long as they’re comfortable being left alone for up to 3 hours. This allows me to occasionally step out for groceries, errands, or other short bookings. If your pet needs constant care and cannot be left alone due to medical needs, recovery, puppyhood, or separation anxiety, just let me know before booking! I’m happy to discuss their needs and arrange an hourly rate for constant care. I have pets of my own, so I know how important it is to leave them with someone you trust. My goal is always to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’ll make sure they have fresh food and water, plenty of attention, and whatever care they need. I’ll also treat your home with the same care and respect I would my own. 🐾

“Sarah is amazing! She is incredibly thorough, patient, and professional. She asked thoughtful questions about my cat that even I hadn’t thought of, and my cat was completely calm and comfortable around her. She also took amazing photos of my baby and was very attentive to everything happening in the house. She noticed and communicated anything that might need my attention, which gave me great peace of mind. I truly appreciate how caring, observant, and responsible she is. I highly recommend Sarah!”
“Alexys did a great job with our kitten and puppy. She kept us updated on how they were doing. Our puppy is skittish around new people and things and she was able to win him over. She was also very professional and our home was as we left it. We will be using her again in a few days after having her here for the past week.”

Devyn was absolutely amazing with our two elderly dogs. She stayed at our house for 5 days. When we got home everything was organized and clean. Our dogs clearly missed her. They were very well cared for. Our dogs required medicine with their meals, which Devyn was very diligent with. She checked in often to give progress reports and photos. We highly recommend her!
Peter did an outstanding job petsitting my Shih Tzu! I found Peter to be polite, responsive, professional, and respectful. He and my dog immediately bonded, my house was spotless when I returned, and he even washed the bed sheet he slept on. He keep in touch and sent photos during his 3 day overnight stay. I would highly recommend Peter and will definitely use him again.
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! 🐾💛
Hailey was absolutely wonderful. She took great care of our dog and our home, and we came back to everything happy, clean, and well cared for. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly loves animals. We would happily have Hailey sit for us again and highly recommend her!
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
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!

FAQs for House Sitting - Westbury
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Westbury on Rover is $29.96 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 5,601 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.
