“Lisa was wonderful! I had a death in my family and needed someone asap for my 3 dogs. Lisa came out immediately to meet my boys. She did a great job and I would use her again. Thanks Lisa!”

About: Having a built-in best friend since I was born has changed my life and has shaped me into myself. Having now had three dogs and been a dog-sitter for family and neighbors for years, I am a very experienced dog-sitter with training experience. After moving back to Mountainside, NJ after 5 years in Washington, D.C., I am blessed to be working locally at a start-up in town. I have a lot of open time and actively look forward to helping support you and your dog(s). I am a very respectful dog-sitter in people's houses and never touch anything unless necessary to care for the dog(s). Having a conversation about what exactly the dog-owner(s) are looking for in a dog-sitter is important to set boundaries so everyone is on the same page. I am very experiences in both dog-sitting and dog-walking.
“Alexandra has been wonderful with my dogs! She takes the time to make sure they are happy, gets plenty of exercise, fed on time, and was also kind enough to come meet the dogs before hand! She’s always on time, super reliable, and communicates really well with updates and photos after every walk/visit. It’s such a relief knowing my dogs were in caring and trustworthy hands. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a walker who treats your dog like their own.”
“Elaine is truly an angel. She was heaven sent. Our elderly Chihuahua is difficult and she was able to take care of him and made it seem effortless. She even had to sing to him to get him to get out of his bed!!! She sent pictures and communicated in real time. We are very grateful for her and would give a 10 star review if that was an option. Thank you Elaine!”
“Jiajia took such good care of my anxious and elderly cat. She made such an effort to make her feel comfortable and to help her come out of her shell. It’s clear she really loves and cares for cats, will definitely rebook in the future!”
“Marlee was great! I really appreciated how thorough she was in discussing care before I left. Very friendly and personable and took time to befriend my cats even if they were being a little shy. She kept me updated in good detail and I felt very confident that my cats were in good hands while I was gone. I will definitely book her for future needs and would highly recommend her to anyone else as well!”
“Jillian was great taking care of our kitty Yoda. She kept us up to date with pictures each visit. She went the extra mile by keeping in touch with us while we were in Spain. We are so grateful.”
“Nicolette was very caring and attentive to my pups. She kept me updated on their activity and well-being with a full report and pictures. I highly recommend her and will book again.”
“Diane & Dave were great! Being a new cat mom, I was struggling to give Bianco the meds he needed. They helped me successfully give Bianco his medicine and they were so sweet with him. Thank you!!”
About: I’m a lifelong dog lover and proud dog owner with over 30 years of experience caring for dogs. I truly can’t imagine my life without them! ❤️ When your dog stays with me, I treat them like they are part of my own family. I have a wonderful family who absolutely loves animals, and I’ve always taught my two children the importance of loving, respecting, and caring for them. Our home has a large, fully fenced backyard with plenty of space for your pup to run, play, and enjoy the outdoors safely. During the summer, they can enjoy our dog pool, and during the colder months, they have their own cozy space with a fireplace, comfortable couch, and TV. 🐶❤️ I also love keeping pet parents connected. I FaceTime several times throughout the stay so you can see your baby, check in, and have peace of mind while you’re away. My children and my dog are very accustomed to having other dogs in our home, and we make every effort to ensure each guest feels comfortable, safe, and loved. For boarding, I only book one dog at a time, allowing me to give your pup the individual attention and care they deserve. Dates marked unavailable are dates that have already been booked. I would absolutely love the opportunity to meet you and your fur baby! I look forward to welcoming them into our home and giving them a safe, loving, and fun stay. 🐾❤️ I work from home so we have the whole day to play and have fun. They are welcome to my whole house . I have a ton of toys for them to play . I have a huge fence in the yard and a small senior dog who absolutely loves new Friends. We have a great relationship with all my clients.
About: Boarding Services- dogs 0 to 20 pounds. I grew up in a household that always had multiple dogs and was actively involved in their care, including feeding, bathing, walking, and providing plenty of love and attention. I have been caring for dogs for over 25 years and has always been a natural part of my life. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your loved family member. I work part-time remotely, which means your pet will get tons of cuddles, playtime, and supervision throughout the day! I may occasionally step out for short errands, but I am never away for more than a couple of hours at a time. Your pet will always receive attentive, loving care in a safe environment. • ☀️ Morning Routine (7:00 AM - 9:00 AM): We kickstart the day with a refreshing morning walk to stretch those legs and take care of business. This is followed by breakfast, fresh water, and any morning medications your pup requires. • 🎾 Midday & Afternoon (12:00 AM - 2:00 PM): Afternoon potty break and mental stimulation-just as important as physical exercise! We spend this time also playing fetch in a secure area and playing with puzzle toys/snuffle mat. Afterward, they get plenty of time to lounge, nap, and relax. • 🌇 Early Evening (5:00 PM - 7:00 PM): It's time for another potty break and dinner. If your dog has high energy, this is a great time for a longer evening walk or a trip to a local, nearby park if permitted. • 🌙 Wind Down (8:00 PM - 9:00 PM): We wrap up the day with a final short walk before bedtime. Then, it's quality cuddle and belly rub time on the couch before lights out! I provide a safe, comfortable, and loving home environment where your dog will receive personalized attention and care. My goal is to have your pet feel happy and secure, whether they are in their home or mine. I have been a pet owner my entire life and have been relied upon by friends, family, and neighbors for pet care for the past 25 years. My practical, hands-on experience has taught me patience, reliability, and how to anticipate a pet's needs and comfort levels. I’m comfortable with various breeds and temperaments and committed to upholding the highest standard of care.
About: Hi, I’m Danielle! I’ve been the proud owner of a chocolate cockapoo, Hershey, for 11+ years now. Although I’m very familiar with mixed breeds as a result of owning one myself, I adore dogs of all breeds and sizes. I can’t wait to meet and play with your dog soon! I’m currently working at home with a flexible schedule. I’ve always been a dog-lover and hope to integrate more dog walking and pet sitting into my weekly routine. I’m very familiar with all sorts of pet care, from dog walking to pet sitting. I frequently take my own dog on long walks/hikes, to vet/grooming visits, and more!
“The first time we met Melanie, she came to our house to ensure that our dogs would adapt to her nicely. Melanie has taken great care of our dogs whenever we’ve needed her and has always kept us posted on their playtime, walks, and bathroom breaks! I highly recommend her as someone who diligently not only cares for your animals but keeps you dialed into their activities.”
About: Hi my name is Coral! I love dogs of all sizes and breeds!! My first dog was a Yorkie named Lilly and I adopted a Doberman named Amber. I’m currently a proud grandma to my son’s Long Haired Dachshund Ralphie. I’m available for dog walks and overnight stays in the owners home. I work in Livingston and would be able to stay in your home and walk your pup before work, on my lunch break and after work. I can be available for dog walks after 6 pm in Livingston. If you live in my local area I can do a walk in the morning 7am and 7pm or later. I can also stay in your home walking them before I leave for work and when I return. I will treat your pet as if they were my own giving them my full attention and be sure to follow any instructions left by the owner.

Claire cared for my 2 dogs in our home for a full week with 2 drop ins per day. Daily pics and comments on how things were going gave me peace of mind while I was away and Claire handled the visits like a pro- she is reliable and caring. My dogs loved Claire’s visits!
We have used Rover every summer to find a pet sitter for our dog Luna. Luna is a Lagotto Romagnolo. No, you've prob never seen one but they look like a doodle. They are a tough temperamental bread. Luna is especially tough because she learned that outside humans are bad.... Thanks COVID. Luna does not like anyone but me (she tolerates the rest of the family. Georgianna clearly has a gift with dogs! Every picture she sent us of Luna showed a happy and content pup. There were no accidents in the house for the entire 8 days away! When we came home, Luna was relaxed and happy. This is not to say that our other sitters weren't good, buy Georgianna is a pro! I am hoping she will be Luna's sitter for the rest of our lives!!!! 5 stars. HIGHLY recommend!
Kerry Ann helped us out with drop in visits while we were away for our senior dog. Kerry Ann was prompt, arriving when we agreed upon, staying the full drop in time length and keeping us informed with detailed Rover cards. My dog is a bit shy and slower at his age. Kerry Ann took her time with him and made him feel comfortable and also followed all instructions we left. I would highly recommend her. She seems to really love dogs in general which is a plus when you are leaving your beloved pet in their care.
This is the second time Emily has petsit for my 2 cats. As always she was amazing. My first experience was back in February when I had to go on an extended work trip for 10 days. Emily was amazing and my 2 cats warmed right up to her. She took such great care of them. She went above and beyond even making it to take care of them during the blizzard. I cannot recommend Emily enough. She will love your pets like they are her own making sure their needs are met while giving lots of play time and cuddles. She even got my extremely timid cat to take her medicine twice a day- an amazing feat!! Her updates and communication were thorough and put me at ease while I was away. I highly recommend her to everyone in the area and will be booking her for my future pet sitting needs.

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Westfield on Rover is $27.75 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 26,842 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Westfield. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Westfield stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Westfield. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
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.
