“Highly Recommend! Mica is absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond while caring for our dogs. Not only did she walk them regularly, but she also spent time playing, snuggling, and giving them all the love and attention they needed. We could tell they were so happy and comfortable with her! What really blew us away was the extra personal touch—Mica knitted each of them their own little handkerchief. Seriously, who does that?! It’s clear she truly cares about the pets she looks after, and we felt 100% at ease knowing our dogs were in such good hands. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and thoughtful, Mica is your person. We can’t recommend her enough! Josh”
“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.”
“Evelyn was a wonderful sitter for our dog Matilda and went above and beyond in our home. She was communicative and sent us updates. She was very sweet to our girl, who is a 3 year old lab with lots of energy and separation anxiety. We felt totally at ease knowing she was in Evelyn's care. We will definitely have Evelyn sit again!”
“Lauren was amazing with my dog Napoleon, she arrived early and even left slightly later than what we agreed after my work function was running later than planned. I can def. recommend her and will be using her services again in the future if I need a sitter. Great communication!”
“Nicole did an excellent job taking care of our dogs. She kept us updated with message, picture's and videos, which gave us great peace of mind. The best feedback we can give is that our dogs absolutely loved her and felt very comfortable with her. We would definitely trust her again!”
About: I have had cats and dogs since the day I was born and I have never had an empty house since. I currently own two cats and a dog myself and it gives me such joy being able to take care of others people's pets. I have watched over friends and families dogs and cats since I can remember and I have never had a bad experience! Pet care is an integral part of my daily and weekly routine, as I prioritize creating a balance that allows me to provide attentive and loving care. My schedule is flexible, enabling me to accommodate feeding times, walks, play sessions, and any special needs a pet may have. I take pride in being organized and ensuring that each pet gets the time and attention they deserve, whether it’s daily check-ins or extended stays. Caring for animals isn’t just a task—it’s a fulfilling part of my life that I genuinely enjoy. I will not be allowed to bring animals into my home sadly. I am more than able to come to you or pick up your dog and hang out with them for the day!
“Anne took such good care of our babies (and always does!). She sent great updates and when our oldest dog had a red itch spot flare up- she took such good care of her! She also left the house in great condition.”
“Holli and Susan were great with our dogs and extremely responsive. We couldn’t recommend this duo enough. We appreciate the extra care & support they showed our Freddie.”
About: I have been pet sitting since sixth grade, as well as having two dogs of my own at home. I have experience in all kinds of pet sitting. I was very involved in 4-H, so I have all kinds of animal experience. I am a college student home for the summer who is also an animal lover! I will be working a part time job this summer and would have plenty of time with your pet! I will make sure your furry friend is never lonely and is well taken care of! I love going on walks and will make sure to take them on many! I will also make sure to follow all instructions given precisely.
About: What sets me apart is my genuine passion for caring for animals and the hands on experience I’ve gained working with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I’ve volunteered at a local humane society and worked on a dog farm, where I learned how to safely handle dogs, recognize their individual needs, and help them feel comfortable and cared for. Whether your dog is energetic and loves long walks or prefers a slower pace and extra cuddles, I’m committed to providing care that’s tailored to them. As a high school student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets plenty of attention and care. During the summer, I’m available throughout the day, and during the school year I’m available before and after school, on weekends, and during breaks. Caring for pets fits naturally into my routine, and I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special instructions so they feel secure while you’re away. I’ll provide a calm, loving environment, give them plenty of attention, and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands.
About: Hi! My name is Lynette, and I’ve been around animals for as long as I can remember. I genuinely love spending time with dogs and making sure they feel happy, safe, and cared for while their owners are away. One thing that makes me a great dog walker is that I love being active. I have a daily step goal that I work toward, so long walks are something I truly enjoy not something I rush through. Taking dogs on walks makes reaching that goal even more enjoyable, and I love giving them the exercise, attention, and outdoor time they deserve. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities and am always willing to adapt to their individual needs. Whether your dog enjoys a leisurely stroll, an energetic walk, or extra playtime, I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention and care. I would love the opportunity to spend time with your furry friend and make their walks the highlight of their day! I start every morning with a walk, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I enjoy staying active and have a daily step goal, which means I genuinely look forward to spending time walking and caring for dogs. As a college student with a flexible schedule, I can dedicate time throughout the week to ensure pets get the exercise, attention, and care they need. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow all instructions carefully, maintain their normal routine, and make sure they have plenty of attention, exercise, water, and care. I am attentive on walks, keep dogs securely leashed, and always prioritize their well-being. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to create a positive, stress-free experience for both pets and owners.
“Abigail helped me on short notice in an emergency situation and was able to take over care when another sitter didn’t show. She did an incredible job giving updates, following care instructions, and loving on the cats. She left the home better than she found it and her deep care for animals is evident in both her words and her actions!”
“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!”
“Tyler was fantastic! We have an exceptionally high maintenance pup, and Tyler took care of him with ease. We appreciated Tyler's frequent communication and daily photos. We will definitely book him again for future dog-sitting needs!”
“Lauran was an absolute life saver for me on a last minute booking I needed. She took the absolute best care of my pitbull with separation anxiety and took perfect care of my house as well! Coming home she had my entire place cleaned up and looking nice, dishes clean, beds made, and even picked up my mail for me while I was gone! She gave me the best picture and video updates while I was gone and was so responsive keeping me in the loop at all times. I will absolutely be rebooking with her for all my future needs!!!”
“Cannot say how grateful I am to have found Tara to watch my Copper, she does an amazing job and I cannot thank enjoy my trips more knowing he os happy and taken care of. Amazing sitter”

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!
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!

FAQs for House Sitting - Westfield
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Westfield on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 1,554 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:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
