“Julie was amazing! We will definitely be using her again. She stayed at our home to make sure our pups were comfortable and happy. Julie was responsive in communication, respectful of our home and lovingly attentive to Bowie and Piper. Great overall experience!”
“Julie is a wonderful addition to our pups family. She kept us updated throughout our trip with notes and photos clearly showing passion for her love and care of our babies. Our home was neat and tidy upon return as well. I recommend Julie with absolute confidence!!!”
“Absolutely wonderful. This was my first occasion having a sitter. She was knowledgeable, courteous, friendly, prompt and followed all instructions to the letter. 5 STARS!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and currently have two of my own: a 14 year old Spaniel Chihuahua mix and a 6 year old German Shepherd Husky mix. I’ve trained and cared for them using positive reinforcement, consistent routines, and lots of patience. Caring for my senior pup has also taught me the extra attention and gentler approach older dogs may need. I’ve also volunteered at animal shelters, walking and spending time with dogs with different personalities and comfort levels. I especially enjoy caring for small dogs and letting each pup warm up and interact at their own pace. Pet care fits easily into my routine, and I have flexibility throughout the week for walks and drop-in visits. I’m happy to work with your pet’s usual schedule whenever possible and can discuss timing before booking. I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine and any care instructions you provide, including feeding, walks, and playtime. I respect each pet’s personality and boundaries and give them time to get comfortable with me. I’ll also keep you updated during each visit so you know how they’re doing.

I have one 14 year old chihuahua mix, I helped raise and care for my mom’s two 5 year old cats , and I have a 1 year old kitty of my own (cats are all indoors only). I’m comfortable providing your pets with any needs and wants! walking, feeding, cleaning up after them, play, and giving them lots of love and attention! I’m comfortable with multiple pets at once. I love getting to know all of their personalities and I also love teaching them basic tricks, including cats! I currently have a pretty open and flexible schedule , so I have all of time to care for your pets! I’m available throughout the week and on weekends for drop ins and care in your home. I’m happy to follow whatever routine your furrbaby is used to and help them feel as comfy as possible while they’re in my care! :) I provide care in your pet’s own home, where they can stay comfy in an environment they already know. I’ll always follow any instructions and their normal routine, like feeding, playing, walks, litter boxes, and any other care they may need! :) I’ll make sure they’re safe, comfortable, and get plenty of love and attention while you’re away! <3
“Shanna did an amazing job taking care of our three fur babies! She kept us updated throughout our time away and made sure we knew how each one was doing. She even went above and beyond by giving one of our pups a bath when he was feeling a little itchy. It was clear that she truly cared for them and treated them like her own. Honestly, I think our pups were almost disappointed to see us come home so soon because they were having such a great time with her! We also came home to a house that was cleaner than when we left it, which was such a wonderful surprise. We highly recommend Shanna and will absolutely be booking with her again. Thank you for taking such great care of our pups!”
“She took great care of out dogs, as promised! And her daughter was awesome to have around for extended stays and time with them. They were snuggled, loved on, happy and healthy when we came home! I will always go to Jaye and her daughter to care for our babies. Thank you!”
“Tanesha has been watching our pups for over two years now, and we’re so glad to have found her. She’s reliable, easy to communicate with, and our dogs absolutely love her. If you are in need of a pet sitter, you cannot go wrong with Tanesha!”
“Lindy took great care of our cat and home! She did a wonderful job with a tricky oral medication administration, and made sure he had lots of love and attention while we were away. Highly recommend her for cat sitting!”
About: I have been passionate about caring for pets since I was 10 years old, taking care of dogs of various breeds and sizes. Over the past two years, I've built a strong reputation in my community, where neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me for walking, feeding, and bathing their pets. My love for animals drives me to ensure they receive the best care possible, and I take pride in creating a safe and enjoyable environment for them. I typically dedicate mornings and evenings to pet care, ensuring I have time for walks, feeding, and playtime. My flexible schedule allows me to accommodate last-minute requests and provide consistent care throughout the week. In my home, I create a safe and comfortable space for pets, with designated areas for eating, sleeping, and playing. I always follow the pet owner's instructions and maintain a clean environment, ensuring their pets feel secure and loved while in my care.
About: What sets me apart is the extra love and attention I give every pup. I have experience with energetic puppies and everything in between. Whether it’s helping a little one learn new routines or making sure your dog sticks to their schedule, I always keep things fun, safe, and full of care. I treat every dog like they’re my own, with plenty of cuddles, walks, and playtime. Plus, I’ll keep you updated with photos and notes so you always know how your furry friend is doing. Pet care is the highlight of my weekends! Since I’m available Fridays through Sundays, I dedicate that time fully to walks, playtime, and making sure pups feel loved and cared for. During the week I focus on my own schedule, so when the weekend comes around, I’m all about giving your furry friend my full attention. Whether your pup is staying with me or I’m visiting their home, I make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I follow their usual routines—meals, walks, playtime, and cuddles—so everything feels familiar and comfortable. Pets get plenty of attention, fun, and care, and I treat every home with respect, keeping things clean and stress-free. My goal is to give both you and your furry friend peace of mind while you’re away.
“Wonderful experience! She stayed overnight with my four dogs and handled my little circus like a pro. 😊 She communicated beautifully, sent pictures and updates, arrived on time, and made the entire process easy and stress-free. My dogs were happy, relaxed, and well cared for when I returned, and everything was exactly as it should have been. I especially appreciated how dependable and communicative she was throughout the stay. I would happily book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter.”
“Kathleen was more than we could have asked for! She really took the time to get to know our anxious puppy and by the time we went on our trip, our dog Honey was comfortable to hang out with her. She is a great communicator and let us know that Honey was doing fine so we could relax and enjoy our vacation. We will definitely be booking her again next time we go out of town!”

About: Hi! My name is Morgan and I’m a 25 year old dog walker/sitter and house sitter from Houston, TX. I have been working with animals for over 10 years with experience in administrating medicine, accommodation of special dietary needs and working with multiple pets at one time. I also have light pet training experience as well my own three dogs who I love with my entire heart. I have a true love and connection to animals and would love to meet you and your pets soon! I stay home throughout the week, leaving my schedule open. I have 3 dogs of my own, and I’m usually home all day with them. I accommodate every pet according to their personality and specific needs. My goal is to ensure that your pet feels safe and comfortable with me.
About: Hi, I’m Crystal. A lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for pets of all kinds! I started young as an Animal Care Assistant, volunteering at local pet stores where I learned everything from safe handling to daily feeding routines. Since then, I’ve traveled across states to pet-sit for family and friends, gaining experience with dogs, cats, and even small animals. I know how hard it can be to leave your pets behind, which is why I provide reliable, loving, and personalized care that feels just like home. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or extra cuddles, your furry friend will get my full attention (and plenty of love!). For daycare and boarding they will be staying in a standalone gated condo, with a spacious indoor layout and a private fenced patio area for safe outdoor time. I strive to create a calm, clean, and comfortable environment where pets can feel relaxed and cared for during their stay 😊 Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine! I start my mornings walking or checking in on pets before work and end the day with evening feedings, playtime, and cuddles. My flexible schedule allows me to provide consistent, reliable care throughout the week. I treat every pet like family and always prioritize their comfort and safety. I follow your care instructions closely, keep a clean and calm environment, and send regular photo updates so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. Whether at my home or yours, I maintain secure spaces, fresh water, and plenty of love and attention.
About: 🐾 Play | Rest | Repeat 🐾 I’ve always had an easy, natural relationship with dogs. I genuinely enjoy being around them — whether that means a long walk, time at the park, playing until they’re happily worn out, or just letting them relax and do their thing. There’s something very satisfying about a dog who’s had a full day especially when the zoomies are done, the sniffing is complete, and they settle onto the couch like they accomplished something important. That’s the vibe here. My goal is simple: your dog feels comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you’re away and goes home happy. 🐾 Meet Cooper 🐾 We have an Australian Shepherd named Cooper or “Coopie,” as I call him. He’s good with kids, dogs, and cats. He’s energetic and enjoys playing, but he’s just as happy lounging on the couch or doing his own thing. He’s well socialized and not aggressive. Like any dog, he adjusts his energy depending on who he’s interacting with; some become play buddies, others just coexist peacefully. I always supervise introductions and make sure everyone is comfortable. We do walk Coopie off leash when appropriate, but that does not mean your dog has to be. Every dog’s comfort level and training is different, and I respect that. A Few Things to Know • Boarding is based on a 24-hour window (example: drop-off at 10am, pick-up by 10am). • Communication matters, so if you need specific timing or accommodations, just let me know in advance. • Meet & greets are strongly preferred so everyone feels comfortable before booking. Our Schedule I’m home during the day and handle the majority of care and supervision. Lawrence works in-office, so your pup will primarily be with me. They’ll be part of the normal daily routine here which includes breaks, play, and downtime included. I may run short errands occasionally, but long stretches alone aren’t common. We welcome any questions or if you want to talk through your dog’s routine, feel free to message me before booking! 🩷 I do work full-time and my boyfriend helps me out with the pups. His schedule is much more flexible than mine. On average you can expect for you pup to be left alone for no more than 4 hours. We can try our best to make accommodations if needed. We have a fenced in backyard that pups can have outside freedom. We will always be outside with them and never leave them to fend for themselves against the squirrels.
About: I have worked with dogs for 6 years, I own two dogs as well. A German Shepherd/Belgian Maliniois named Dex he is 5 years old and he has so much energy but is the biggest friendly fur ball. I also have a Cavachon named Dakota, he is 3 years old and he a couch potato inside and a dare devil outside. I work at a doggy daycare currently so I’ve worked with various breeds and I understand that you can not judge a dog based on breed. I also worked with temperaments and personality as well, I can manage the behaviors if walks are taking. I’m also in vet tech school so I’m currently learning more about dogs such as health issues and signs. I’m currently a stay-at-home mom, which allows me to provide your furry family members with attentive, loving care throughout the day. Your pets will be closely monitored and cared for 24/7 in a safe, comfortable, and nurturing environment. I’ll treat your pets like family and make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, and care while you’re away. I provide a safe, loving, and comfortable home for every pup in my care. Crates are only used for feeding if needed, and the rest of the time your furry friend is free to roam and relax. My home also has security cameras for added peace of mind. Your pup will enjoy walks, plenty of attention, and lots of love while they’re with me. I respect each pups routine and personality, and fresh water is always available to keep them happy and comfortable.
“Marc did an excellent job of taking care of our two dogs while we were out of town for 6 days. We had him come over and meet the dogs ahead of time and both dogs took to him very well. Marc was very communicative during this time, and he kept us informed while away from our overly attached pups.”
“The dogs liked him. He was very attentive. Kept us posted on everything that was going on with daily pictures with updates. Will definitely use him again.”

Natali took great care of Woodford during my trip. She was excellent about communication — sending photos and updates multiple times throughout the day, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. She also kept my place very tidy throughout the stay, which I really appreciated. She followed my extensive care instructions and took the time to understand Woodford's routine. I’d happily have her watch Woodford again and would recommend her to other pet parents, especially those who value good communication while they're away.
Julie kept one of our dogs for a week and stayed overnight. She did a wonderful job with Athena and took great care of her. She kept me updated throughout the stay and you can tell that she really cares about her pets. When we came back home, we came back to a clean and tidy house, which was very appreciated. I’m looking forward to working with Julie again in the future and I highly recommend her.
Wonderful experience! She stayed overnight with my four dogs and handled my little circus like a pro. 😊 She communicated beautifully, sent pictures and updates, arrived on time, and made the entire process easy and stress-free. My dogs were happy, relaxed, and well cared for when I returned, and everything was exactly as it should have been. I especially appreciated how dependable and communicative she was throughout the stay. I would happily book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Westfield is $33 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $65 per night.

As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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.

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.
