“Took great care of our two small Chihuahuas. They were very well looked after. We received daily photos and updates while we were gone. It was very reassuring to see them happy and safe.”
“We had such a great experience with Kayla. Our dog struggles with separation anxiety, but Kayla did such a great job to calm his nerves. She was very patient with him and went out of her way to do a meet and greet prior to the appointment. He had such a good time! Highly recommend.”
“shanette gets 5 big stars for her on time and attentive care for my dog. she is also very patient with my young dog who has lots of energy. I would use Shanette anytime she’s available.”
“Thalia did an amazing job caring for our two girls while we were away. She house sat for us on two separate days and followed everything we had laid out - from their walking schedule to feeding them exactly how they’re used to. It was clear she took the time to make sure their routine stayed consistent. She was also very communicative, sending us photo updates during walks and even at naptime, which we really appreciated. Being away from your dogs can be stressful, but Thalia gave us real peace of mind knowing they were not only well cared for, but genuinely loved on while we were gone. We’d absolutely trust her with them again.”
“Rwitika is simply outstanding in all respects whether caring, sense of responsibility, attitude, everything. We will look forward to contact her again as and when we need Brady’s care during our absence.”
“Andrea took care of my dog, Pillar, and a cat, Muning in my home for 3 nights and 4 days. She was caring and I knew that from pictures she sent. It was my first time to use not only Rover but also a house sitter. Andrea made me comfortable and be at peace while away. Thank you Andrea.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all kinds since childhood. family, friends trust me to walk, feed, bathe, and give loving, reliable care to every pet. During the week I work 9–5, but I’m available on weekends and some evenings. I enjoy spending that time walking, playing, and caring for pets. In your home, I care for pets as if they were mine. feeding, walking, and playing with them. I respect your space and keep everything tidy
“I can’t say enough good things. Maria sent me pictures daily and kept me updated around the clock, ❤️❤️❤️ One big special request I have is that I have a Himalayan Persian cat and I needed his eyes cleaned every morning and she did beyond a wonderful job. I’ve never seen him cleaner. When I got home the cats always pur because they miss me but this time not even one single purr, that’s tells me they loved Maria’s company so much, they didn’t even miss me!! ❤️❤️❤️”
About: I have always been around dogs and have had dogs of my own. I currently have 2 dogs, a bishon havanesse and a pitbull. They are fun, silly and definitely worth the chaos. I will take care of your babies like they were my own. This is currently the only thing im doing. I love to hang out with dogs, see their individual personalities and get to play with them. I have a fenced in yard and will make sure to keep my dogs in a separate part of the house if your dog isnt comfortable around other dogs. Any dogs comfort and safety is my main concern. I will take care of your dog like if they were my own.
“Anthony watched both our Border Collies while we went out of town. In addition to taking great care of them, Anthony trained them to be less reactive and gave us some tips to enforce their new behaviors. We will definitely use Anthony again!”
About: I’ve been crazy about pets my whole life—raised with two dogs who taught me love and duty, and keeping up with my family’s three silly pups! I’m here to pamper your furry friends: epic walks, tons of playtime, big cuddles, or just kicking back together. Cats? I’m their brushing and snuggle champ—having loved and cared for my own sweet cat all the way to 18 years old. Baths or meds? Show me how, and I’m all over it. I get a kick out of every pet’s little quirks! Drop me a line to chat about your pet—I’m pumped to give them the fun and care they’ll totally adore! Every weekday morning until 12:30 PM, I am available for drop-in visits, walks, and playtime with your pet. On top of that, my husband works from home full-time, so if your pet is staying with us, someone will almost always be around! My weekend availability varies, but I’m happy to discuss your specific needs. I live for animals and their happiness, with a sharp eye for what they’re feeling. I pick up on stress signals and tweak my care to fit them perfectly, creating a peaceful vibe where they can just be themselves. Whether it’s a burst of play to lift their spirits or a quiet moment to ease their mind, I tune into their world and make it better.
“We feel like we won the dog sitter lottery. Hobbes was well cared for and Emily treated him like her own. She is kind, communicative, trustworthy and compassionate. I know Hobbes will be excited for his next visit!!”

About: My family’s dog is a Shih Tzu named Dobbs who is 10 years old. I am experienced in walking dogs, and will listen to any special instructions you may have while caring for your pets. 😊 My schedule is quite flexible and I would be able to walk your dog at any point in the day that we discuss in advance. I will abide by all instructions you may have for me while walking and caring for your dogs. I am also happy to send pictures from the walks.
About: I work from home 5 days a week which will allow your dog to get constant attention and love. Having cared for my own dog I understand how difficult it is to leave with someone else. I currently work from home 5 days a week and will be able to attend to your dogs needs. I can take them out for plenty of potty breaks. Since I work from home your dog will get plenty of attention. I live in a very dog friendly community that is great for walks. I will always keep your dog on a secure leash whenever outdoors.
“Kim was a lifesaver! We needed a sitter last minute for our pups as we were traveling to Italy. She wrote down notes for each of the puppies during the house visit and was confident the care she would provide them. She was attentive to their and our needs. She kept us informed throughout our trip and was able to understand their personalities. The pups gravitated towards her and felt comfortable. I would definitely reach out to her again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Westfield
Talia was absolutely wonderful with Tommy! He was recovering from surgery, so I was especially nervous about leaving him, but she made me feel completely comfortable and reassured. She was patient, attentive, responsible, and followed all of his care instructions carefully. She kept me updated and treated Tommy with so much love and kindness. I could tell he felt safe and comfortable with her. I’m very grateful and would absolutely book with Talia again. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring for their pet!
I would highly Jessica for cat sitting. Jessica is very professional yet warm, engaged and has a special fondness and connection with cats. I was initially worried about leaving my cats for the first time, as they have neurological challenges, but was comforted knowing that they were in good hands and that Jessica was quick to respond to any of my questions, concerns and provided updates to help ease my mind.
Emma is an incredible and I can’t recommend her highly enough! She is responsive, responsible and genuinely loves animals (and they love her!). I will hire her again without reservation and have recommended her to several friends. She will absolutely treat your pet like it’s her own, and I had such peace of mind leaving my sweet girl in Emma’s care.
Claire was terrific with our three dogs (and our son's Golden Retriever puppy)! She was punctual, followed our instructions on feeding and let them go out as needed. The dogs seemed to really like her. We will definitely use her again when the opportunity srises
if I can leave 10 stars I would! Talk about a consistent amount of changes to our schedule we had to go through due to one of our fur babies getting sick post spay and Marlee was wonderful for every step of the way! flexible and understanding. We can’t thank her enough for her compassion and care for our cats and she will definitely be our go to going forward!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Westfield is $78 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $39 and $96 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.
As of October 2026, there are 18,450 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
