“Jasmine was great with our 4 month old German shepherd Athena who can be a little weary of strangers. We had never left her and were so nervous but Jasmine was amazing with her and sent us updates and pictures and videos. Highly recommend her and will book her again!”
“Shannon was great with our 1 year old lab, Baker. She stayed over night while we were away for the weekend. She sent multiple updates and pictures each day!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs for many years and have hands-on experience with dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities. I also raised a litter of puppies from birth through 8–9 weeks, handling feeding, cleaning, socialization, playtime, and their daily routines. I’m comfortable with puppies, high-energy dogs, feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, and giving each dog plenty of attention and affection. I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. Pet care fits easily into my current routine, and I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide plenty of attention and care. I’m available throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting, and I’m happy to work with each pet’s normal routine and schedule. I take every pet’s safety and comfort seriously and will always follow the care instructions provided by their owner. In a client’s home, I respect their space while keeping pets comfortable and maintaining their normal routine. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any special instructions, and I’ll provide updates so you know your pet is safe and well cared for.
“Wow amazing! Amazing communication and even came by for a meet and greet with such short notice. One of our pups had some tummy troubles and she kept us updated the entire time and even made a vet visit on our behalf. The whole process she made a breeze. We will for sure be using again. She loves dogs.. it radiates off her!! Our boys seemed so so happy and we felt comfortable having her stay in our home.”
“Hailee was amazing! She stayed at my apartment with my dog for 10 days while I was out of the country. She sent a ton of pictures and videos, and I came home to a happy dog & clean apartment!”
About: I’ve taken care of and walked dogs since 2019! At the time I was living on base, so it was primarily for base population! I am a dog auntie to my best friend’s pup who i watch and play with whenever she is away. I am looking forward to meeting your pupper!! I’m currently in between jobs at the moment, so I’m fairly flexible! When I am back to work I am typically available randomly throughout the week, but I’m sure we can work something out! I can easily crate pups if needed, I will do treat rewarding (if that is how the client prefers), plenty of exercise/play time and ensure bathroom breaks are taken within a timely manner!
About: I’ve done in home pet sitting for years. I have a deep care for animals and always have. I have cared for my own pups as well as friends and families. I am also a professional nanny and a lot of the families I’ve worked with have pets that I cared for while taking care of the children! I’m currently available early mornings and evenings to walk and check in. I’m also available for overnights! Around mid December my availability will open up more so I may be available mid day. My beautiful pup recently passed so I no longer have an animal in my home but I still have the necessities for when I do dog sit. When either in my home or at the clients I enjoy long walks with your sweet dogs, playing in the yard or dog park, and of course cuddling!
“Callie took care of my Lily and did an amazing job! She took her on walks on the beach, gave her a bath, and entertained her all weekend! She also provided pictures of my dog to keep me updated.”
About: I have grown up with animals all around me since I was little. I treat any animal like their my own, pets are definitely a sweet spot for me. Friends and family have trusted me taking care of their animals while there away or just for a little visit. I work at MassageLuXe and am completing my bachelors degree online through a state college here in Florida! I am a very out-going and hardworking. Animals are my therapy! I love taking care and being around them. I love each as they were my own. I will be able to manage and make sure that each of my clients fur babies are well taken care of. Any animal is like raising a child, it’s 24/7 on go mode to make sure they are happy wether it’s using the bathroom, going on a walk or even play time.
About: I’ve taken care of many friends and neighbors pets, walking, feeding and playing with them. I’ve been doing this for a few years, but this past year I’ve done it more often. I’m currently working part time on the weekends, so I’ll have plenty of time during the week to drop in and take care of your pups! Well I just plan on having fun and taking them on walks so whatever their preferences are i’ll make sure to take that into account when walking and playing.
“Barbara was great! She came on very late notice to watch my 3 year old doghter, and my dog instantly became friends with her. On time, professional, and loves our furry friends. 10/10 would hire again.”
“Heidi was wonderful with our 3 pups! They loved her as soon as they met her. She stayed in our home while we were away to ensure our pups were comfortable in their own environment. It was so nice to go out of town and not have to worry. We will definitely be booking again!”
“Michele was great!! She was able to help us out on very short notice. Our pup becomes very anxious when we leave and she was very understanding about his anxiety. We felt very comfortable leaving him and our home in Michele's care.”
“Alexandra was a good communicator, punctual and above all kind and loving with my dogs. She sent lots of updates with photos and left the house clean. I will definitely hope to use her services again.”
“Joli was fantastic with my "special needs" big boy. He's loving but can be a handful. She is like the dog whisperer and even loved that he slept with her with his head on her back! He has severe separation anxiety so when she needed to run out, she took him with her - he's great in cars. I will definitely be reaching out to her again, as I travel a lot for work and need a reliable sitter who can be at home most of the time.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Westchase
We just got home and I can tell my pets were well loved and cared for because they are calm and happy. Bethany was awesome at sending updates. I got multiple pictures throughout our vacation and little notes on how my furbabies were doing. She followed through with all instructions and checked in before leaving when the stay was complete. We would book with her again in a heartbeat.
Meredith was wonderful with our two dogs while we were away for the weekend. She was so attentive — we never worried for a second. The pictures and videos she sent kept us smiling the whole trip, and it was obvious the dogs were happy and comfortable with her. We'd definitely book her again in a heartbeat and recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter who genuinely cares. Thank you, Meredith!
Stephanie did a wonderful job staying at our house with our 2 puppies. During the meet and greet, she took a ton of notes on our routines, feeding, and everything else important! She was great with our dogs and sent a bunch of pictures while we were away. Both dogs loved her and we felt very comfortable knowing they were in good hands with Stephanie! I would highly recommend Stephanie if you want a reliable person who will do everything to make your pets happy and comfortable while you are away!
Victoria was fantastic! Stayed over on a holiday weekend and was great at staying in contact, sending pictures, and taking care of my babies! One of my dogs is a bit more high maintenance and she handled her wonderfully. I would definitely recommend Victoria and we will be contacting her again for future trips!
Rylie looked after our two dogs over the 4th of July weekend. Between the fireworks and the constant thunderstorms they were two very anxious dogs, but Rylie took great care of them. We really appreciate how well she takes care of them - we never have to worry anytime we go away ❤️
This was our first time booking with Rover and with Kristy. We booked her for over a week of overnight stays and she was incredibly compassionate and kind to our very shy & timid cat. We felt very secure being out of town knowing Kristy was at the house taking caring of it and our cat as if it was here own. Highly recommend.
Christine is always great with Cole - She did a great job with staying overnight with him. It was the first time we have left him since we adopted him. I was not worried at all while we were away and appreciate all Christine did to take the best care of our sweet Cole.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Westchase is $49 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $88 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.

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 Westchase 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 Westchase 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 Westchase 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.

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.
