“Mica was absolutely great! She was very accommodating with last-minute changes and handled everything smoothly. She clearly loves dogs! She took them for walks, spent quality time with them, and sent tons of great pictures that kept us updated and reassured the whole time. We’ve used her before and will definitely continue using her in the future. Highly recommend!”
“Evelyn was great with my pets and they enjoyed her. I got lots of cute pictures and updates. She worked great with my schedule that was based on how quickly I was driving through not good weather and we got back almost 12hrs later than intended. I came home to my house cleaner than I left it too which was a great surprise after driving 1800 miles in under 48 hours. She even watched a couple of my clients pets that had last minute bookings!”
“Cole was a Godsend when I found myself needing to find care for our two pups at the last minute on 4th of July weekend. She specializes in dogs with firework and thunder anxiety which both of our girls struggle with so when I saw her profile, I prayed she would have availability, and that prayer was answered. Nicole came right over to meet us and everything worked out better than I could have hoped for. She is very communicative and sent updates and photos throughout the visit. She even brought a white noise machine to help mask the noises from the fireworks to help keep our babies! If you are looking for a kind, compassionate, attentive and highly skilled caregiver you can not go wrong with Nicole! She is amazing and I will definitely reach out to her the next time our girls need a sitter! Thank you Nicole! Until next time!”
“We’ve used Rover for years and never had such a positive experience as we did with Megan. She not only took diligent notes about all of my pups little quirks and preferences, but she really went the extra mile every opportunity she had. Our dogs loved her, too 😃. I will absolutely be using her in the future and recommending Megan to anyone looking for a pet/house sitter.”
“Stacy was wonderful! She stayed at our house for 5 days and took great care of our 2 dogs. She even washed the sheets and towels she used and remade the bed. Went above and beyond and the pups were happy and content when we got home.”
“Ashely does a great job with our big dogs, we have had her take care of them several times and every time we are just so pleased with how it goes! Our big rottie had tummy issues while we were gone and she knew just what to do to help him. We already have her booked for several more trips.”
“Susan is the most wonderful gem in the whole world. She and Holli took such great care of our sweet girls. We were so nervous to leave the pups for such a long time and Susan was such a comfort. Our house was beyond amazing when we came home too. Thank you so much Susan.”
“He was great and really helped me out with a last second booking when I got delayed an extra day coming home due to issues with airlines. My girls loved him and appreciated having company for the night”
“Katherine’s attention and amazing care for our two dogs was above beyond any expectations! Immediately both of our boys were very comfortable and excited to see her. While we were away, she get several updates, photos and videos. All of which were very comforting and very much appreciated. Not to mention her quick response for our last minute need. We will absolutely be a recurring clients!!”
“Danielle is remarkable. My shy and anxious puppy was snuggling in her lap in no time. I got regular updates with photos, so I had peace of mind. Danielle is also very punctual, easy to work with, and a great communicator”
“My wife and I had a family vacation for 5 days and it was our first time leaving our new home and pets, so naturally we were a little nervous! However, Rachel made it so we didn’t have to worry about anything while we were away. This was such a great experience and we highly recommend Rachel. She is very kind, respectful, and reliable! We love now feeling like we have someone we can trust when we need help with the pets and we are so grateful!!!! 10 stars!”
About: I have around 15 years of experience caring for dogs. I grew up with family dogs and helped with daily care, training, walks, bathing, feeding/medications for senior dogs and lots of love. I’ve also dog-sat for friends and family and I’m very comfortable with all personalities and energy levels! I have a flexible work schedule and a couple of days off each week, which means I have plenty of time to take care of my pets. On workdays, I’m usually gone for 4–6 hours at most, and I work close enough to home that I can easily stop in for walks, potty breaks, feeding, and some extra attention. Your pet’s safety is my #1 priority. I follow all feeding and walking instructions (& anything else provided) keep them on-leash unless otherwise approved, and never put them in overwhelming situations. I take things at their pace, offer lots of reassurance, and make sure they feel loved and safe the entire time🛡️🤍
“Clara is amazing. Both my dogs love her. She send pictures and sends updates during her stay. We will definitely be using her again! I would highly recommend if looking for someone to watch you pets.”
About: As someone who’s been around dogs & cats (& more!) since I was born, I’ve loved pets for as long as I’ve been around! Whether it’s taking care of my own pets, or someone else’s furry friends, I have a lot of experience when it comes to both dogs and cats. I’m a responsible, experienced, & caring individual, & I’ve never met a dog or cat I didn’t like. Even better still, almost every dog and cat that’s met me has liked me! Whether it’s a rambunctious dog with lots of energy, or a relaxed cat who likes to nap, I can accommodate any type of pet. I’ve taken care of my energetic dogs when they were younger, & continued the care into their senior years. I’ve also taken care of multiple other dogs of all different ages (from puppies to wise, old dogs). When it comes to cats, the same applies. Kittens, senior kitties, and everything in between have been a big part of my life. If you have any questions, or would like to talk more about having me take care of your furry companion, don’t hesitate to reach out! I’m currently extra available for the summer as work is in a slow season, so I have flexibility when it comes to being available for your pet! When coming into your home, I do my best to make sure your dog or cat is comfortable and at ease. Drop-in visits are all about making sure your pet is feeling comforted & attended to, even if that means just giving them their space! Walks include the same things as they mean more to your pet than just exercise & a potty break!
“Rhonda was wonderful!! I just rescued this dog and she has some challenges. Rhonda did a great job dealing with her issues and making sure that everything went well. I will definately use her again in the future.”
“Absolutely was a life saver for me this past week. Incredible communication, went out of her way to be flexible for me, sent me updates as I needed them, and kept me up to date on every detail of her weekend with Bella. I would book her 100x over and have absolutely zero concerns she would be perfect for anybody in any situation! Cannot thank her enough!!!!”
“Brady did a wonderful job with my puppy Draco! He even let my mom’s Yorkie stay with him and watched her too! He was respectful of my home and was very communicative. Even got a couple pictures while I was gone! Thank you Brady! We will be using your services again!”

Nicole was fantastic with my two senior dogs. She kept a consistent schedule, made sure they had their meds and supplements on time, and was an extremely respectful house guest. You can always tell your dogs felt safe and care for when they’re so calm greeting you after your trip. I would absolutely recommend her, she was amazing!
Mary Elise was so very incredibly kind to coordinate and cover at last minute. Our fur babies absolutely loved her!! She sent several updates and gorgeous photos. I fully appreciated her reaching out whenever she had questions. She is irreplaceable and we will DEFINITELY be booking with her again!!
Ashley was phenomenal!! To start, I am an anxious dog-mom and Ashley did a great job at keeping me updated with texts and photos. I felt like I was leaving my dog with a family member! Ashley took my golden for multiple walks a day and she looked and acted very well taken care of when we came back home. Not to mention, our home was spotless and laundry was already started. I cannot recommend Ashley enough.
Lucy stayed at our house with our 7lb. dog for one week while we went on vacation. She sent me a couple of pictures of our dog hanging out with her and updated me a few times. She took our dog for many walks. She also gave our dog medication a few times a day. Lucy worked full time so I had my sister come let our dog out mid day. Lucy also did a few extras like bring in our mail and watered plants. Everything looked in place and neat and tidy when we got home and more importantly our dog was healthy, safe and happy. Everything went great!
Mica was absolutely great! She was very accommodating with last-minute changes and handled everything smoothly. She clearly loves dogs! She took them for walks, spent quality time with them, and sent tons of great pictures that kept us updated and reassured the whole time. We’ve used her before and will definitely continue using her in the future. Highly recommend!
We can’t say enough great things about Taylor! From start to finish, Taylor was professional, reliable, and incredibly caring with our dogs. It was clear they were in great hands—Taylor treated them like their own, making sure they were well cared for and happy. We loved receiving regular updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. We came home to two very happy pups and know we have found someone we can truly trust. We highly recommend Taylor to anyone looking for a loving and dependable dog sitter, and we will absolutely be booking again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Westfield on Rover is $55.5 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 1,478 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
- 97% 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.
