“We have had Mark sit at our house twice now and couldn’t be more happy. We have a high energy, large, 1 year old golden retriever and Mark is excellent with him! He leaves our house as clean as we left it and it’s like he wasn’t even here when we get home (the only clue is our dog is more well behaved once we get home). He sends us pictures of our pup and is a trustworthy person to have at our home.”
“Tristan was great. He arrived on time and was very polite. He took very good care of my baby and provided constant updates. I will definitely contact Tristan for any future needs.”
“Madelena was amazing watching our pups! She was easy to work with, responsible and sent us fun pictures of the pups while we were. She took the dogs on walks individually and comforted them during some bad storms! 10/10 would recommend and rebook!”
“We are very thankful for Kate’s help! We received many kitty pictures and updates while we were away and the house was spotless when we returned. It was our first time using Rover and are super happy with the whole experience.”
“Manoela was great! She was able to watch our dog Max fairly last minute. She was punctual, quick to respond, and sent us photos - I could tell Max was comfortable with her! Thank you!”
“I really don’t want to tell you how awesome Elizabeth, Scott and Amanda are, because I want them available next time I need house and puppy sitters. 😊 They were fantastic. Extremely communicative and friendly and put our minds as ease for two weeks whilst overseas. The photos and updates were wonderful. Thank you”
“Amazing dog sitter! The first time I ever felt comfortable leaving my dogs while on vacation. My dogs lover her! She sent pictures, kept the house in order, and most importantly spoiled our dogs. Will definitely use Summer in the future!”
“This is the second time Susane has watched our three. We feel completely comfortable while away. She meets the needs of a senior dog and some rambunctious puppies. She is a good communicator. Kind and reliable. We will use again!”
About: I have been around pets my entire life specifically cats and dogs. Family and friends have trusted me to take care of their fur babies whether that meant feeding, walking, bathing, etc and I was more than happy to do it. Although this is a part time job for me I make it a priority because it is something that brings joy to my days and it means being helpful and bringing joy to a pets day as well! Any pet that I am around will be safe and taken care of 110%. I will keep an eye on them constantly, provide them with fun, care, and spend quality time with them in areas that I know they feel most comfortable in. I will priortize your pets needs above anything else!
“My girls loved Donne. She stayed with them for 8 nights and did a fantastic job. She left the house spotless and even vacuumed! I would highly recommend Donne for any pet needs. Since we found her we are planning more excursions knowing we have a new loving and caring “family member “!!”
“McKinnon was great. She made sure to take great care of our dog that has some medical needs. Would 100% recommend her to anyone who is looking for someone to care for their pet.”
“Anna was so wonderful and communicative. She sent us the perfect amount of messages and photos of our sweet girl to reassure us that she was doing great. We’d highly recommend her!”
“Tempest was fantastic when she watched our cat and dog. She was professional, great with communication and updates, and most importantly, gave the pets lots of attention and snuggles.”
About: I have trained and cared for everything from Dobermans to my tabby cat! I am offering a rare an affordable introductory deal in order to build my client base, so get quality care for less while you can! As a dedicated dog walker, I have developed a deep understanding of canine behavior and a passion for ensuring their well-being. My journey began with volunteering at local animal shelters, where I learned to handle dogs of various breeds, temperaments, and sizes. This hands-on experience taught me the importance of patience and effective communication, allowing me to establish trust with dogs immediately. I pride myself on my ability to adapt my approach to suit each dog’s unique personality, ensuring they feel comfortable and secure during our time together. Throughout my career, I have successfully managed walks for dogs requiring different levels of exercise and socialization. Whether it’s a high-energy Labrador needing an hour of vigorous play or a senior Beagle requiring gentle strolls, I tailor each outing to meet the specific needs of the dog. I am well-versed in various training commands and reinforcement techniques, allowing me to maintain control and encourage good behavior during our walks. Additionally, I prioritize safety by using appropriate leashes and harnesses and remaining vigilant in high-traffic areas, ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience for both the dog and myself. My commitment to providing exceptional care extends beyond walks. I offer services that include feeding, medication administration, and even light grooming when needed. I understand the importance of a consistent routine, and I am diligent about following the specific instructions provided by pet owners. By maintaining open communication with clients and providing updates on their dogs’ activities and behavior, I foster a sense of trust and reassurance. My extensive experience and genuine love for dogs make me an ideal choice for pet owners seeking reliable care for their furry companions. My name is Shelby and I am completely free to work at any time but would love to establish a regular clientele at the same times everyday. Pet care isn’t just my full time job but my full time passion! Here is what to expect with the services I offer: 1. Dog Walking: • Daily Walks: Whether it’s a leisurely stroll or an energetic run, I tailor each walk to suit your dog’s needs. • Group or Solo Walks: I can accommodate both solo walks for a more personal touch or group walks for socialization. • Flexible Scheduling: I offer walks at your convenience, ensuring your pup gets the exercise they need, even on your busiest days. 2. Pet Drop-Ins: • Feeding & Watering: I’ll make sure your pet is well-fed and hydrated while you’re away. • Playtime & TLC: I’ll spend quality time with your pet, providing companionship and play to keep them happy. • Updates & Photos: You’ll receive updates and cute photos during my visits, so you can see how much fun they’re having! Why Choose Me? • Trustworthy & Reliable: I treat your pets like my own and follow all instructions • Tailored Care: I take the time to understand your pet’s habits, preferences, and routines to provide personalized care. Let’s Connect! I’d love to meet you and your pet! Feel free to reach out with any questions or to schedule a meet-and-greet. Together, we can create a positive experience for your furry family member. Looking forward to wagging tails and purring cuddles!
“Neisha did a great job with my two dogs. She was very attentive and the dogs did very well with her. I left the house clean and came home to an even cleaner house which was very appreciated.”
About: I’m a mom to 4 rambunctious children and 1 kid friendly chihuahua(14) and 1 loving husky pit mix(1). When most people meet my dog they are surprised at how friendly he is and how good he is with our young children. We used to have two dogs but we had to put older one down due to seizures and brain issues. In high school I worked in an army veterinary clinic as a veterinary assistant for a cooperative work experience program. My original plan in life was to be a veterinarian but after having to assist with some tough cases I decided just being a good pet owner and caregiver was more my speed. I’m a full time stay at home mom and love playing with my dogs and kids in my spare time. I’d love to help you care for your fur baby as well. I’m pretty flexible. I’m home days once I get my kids get off to school during the day. In the evenings and on weekends I take them to their respective practices or games but that doesn’t mean I don’t have time to care for and give your fur baby some love as well. I like to take my fur babies for about a mile walk in the morning and then my younger pup will go on another half mile walk with me in the after noon. My older guys stays home and chills but he gets lots of love and snuggles at home.
“Tracy was great. She came to meet pets, was thoughtful to review and follow my notes, arrived on time, communicated very well during her time here and sent photos. She left our home neat and tidy. We have already booked her again.”
“This is the second time we have booked with Leanna, and we couldn’t be happier! Came home to a clean home and very happy pup. We really appreciated the daily photo updates as well.”
“My wife and I had the opportunity to take a 3 1/2 week trip out of the country. We weren’t sure what to do with our fur babies because it was too long to put either of them in a kennel. We looked at Rover‘s website and found Jenna who agreed to watch our fur babies in our home for the duration of our trip. Our beagle is a rescue who has a number of special needs due to abuse as a puppy. Jenna did a wonderful job of watching both our beagle and our kitty cat for the time we were gone. It’s obvious Jenna loves animals and we will certainly book her again if we ever need to leave town for an extended period. We highly recommend Jenna as that only a pet sitter, but a house sitter as well.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Westfield is $50

Elizabeth was absolutely wonderful with our two pups! She was caring, attentive, and kept us updated throughout the stay, which gave us such peace of mind. It was clear that both our dogs were comfortable and well cared for, and we would absolutely recommend Elizabeth to anyone looking for a trustworthy and professional dog sitter. We’ll definitely be booking with her again if we need help!
Madelena was amazing for our pets! She stayed for four days and three nights and not only watched over the dogs but also our home. She also went the extra mile to do multiple meet and greets before we went out of town since one of our dogs has some stranger danger. We will definitely request Madelena again and I highly recommend her due to her professionalism, flexibility, and ability to care for multiple animals and treat them like family. Thank you so much Madelena!
Lorelei stayed at our home for a week and took wonderful care of our two dogs while we were away. She kept us updated, left the house clean, and made sure our pups were happy and well cared for. It was such a relief knowing they were in good hands. We would definitely book with Lorelei again!
I cannot say enough good things about Zack! He was incredibly kind, patient, and caring with my Great Dane, treating him like one of his own. During our time away, my dog developed some stomach issues and ended up with diarrhea, and Zack went above and beyond by administering medication and making sure he was comfortable, cared for, and closely monitored. Zack kept me updated throughout the stay, was attentive to my dog's needs, and handled everything with such professionalism and compassion. Knowing my pup was in such capable hands gave me complete peace of mind. It is clear that he genuinely loves animals and takes great pride in the care he provides. If you're looking for someone trustworthy, dependable, and truly dedicated to the well-being of your pets, I highly recommend Zack. We will absolutely be booking with him again
Claire did a wonderful job with our pup Miles! We greatly appreciated the consistent communication & various pictures throughout her stay. Claire made sure to ask questions in order to be consistent with our pups routine. We were overall very happy with Claire & the excellent care she provided!
Willow was a gift to leave our pups with! She was so reliable, always on time and very communicative! She brought in mail and left our home spotless! She was available at a moments notice and even offered to stay longer depending on our commute back home! We (and our pups) loved having Willow pup sit for us! 🤍🐶
Kotryna was great! She watched my 4 month old Swissy Mitch. For starters she arrived on time. She took Mitch out regularly throughout the day. The weather was nice so she let him explore the backyard and gave him plenty of playtime in the front. I got plenty of updates during the day and a full update when she left. I am super happy with the care she provided Mitch and look forward to having her help in the future!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Westfield on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 4,804 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Westfield. 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 Westfield 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 Westfield 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 Westfield 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Westfield. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% can help with daily exercise
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.
