“John was great very communicative, attentive, and punctual with Bella. This was my first experience using a sitter outside of my family, and I must say I was really happy to have found him. He made the entire process comfortable and stress-free, and I would absolutely recommend him as a sitter.”
“Excellent experience! The house was just as we left it. I loved the pics and updates of my dogs' play and temperaments. I absolutely recommend Carrie.”
“Julie was great the my dogs. They absolutely loved her. She was super responsive before and during the sit. And did a great job of providing pictures and videos throughout the 4 day sit. The house was clean and well cared for. She did a great job and already have her booked for another sit.”
“We used Shanna to housesit our two doggos (a senior 85 lb healer mix and a young 15 lb poodle mix). Shanna was so easy to work with and kept us updated with pics and details of their time together. She went above and beyond and it gave us such wonderful peace of mind knowing our pups were in her care. We’ll absolutely be using Shanna again the next time we need to travel out of town for a few days.”
“Rose is a gem. 💛 This was our first time using a pet sitting service and I was honestly hesitant about having someone stay in our home for five nights. But the second we did the meet-and-greet and Biscuit (my heart in Labradoodle form) immediately decided Rose was a good person… I knew we were going to be okay. While we were gone, Rose kept us so well updated and made it easy to actually relax. She took Biscuit on walks, gave her lots of love and attention, and she was so sweet and thoughtful with our senior schnauzer, Piper. You can tell she truly cares. We came home to happy pups and peace of mind, and that’s everything. We’ll 100% book Rose again.”
“Olivia did an amazing job with our golden doodle puppy. She was VERY good at communicating with updates and pictures. We will definitely be booking her again when we need her. Thank you Olivia for everything!”
“A wonderful experience! She is so sweet connected with my 85lb German Shepherd quickly which is pretty special since he is very standoffish with strangers. She took care of him for week. The relationship was so strong that he went looking for her after she left. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience ( first time anyone has ever watched him and he is two years old). Tanesha is my go to for any future trips.”
“Kira was very thorough and detail-oriented. All of my animals loved her, even with their strange personalities. She sent me a lot of updates and made sure we knew what was going on all the time. I would definitely hire her again!”
“Sofia was amazing with our 2 dogs. They both adored her! She sent many pictures and updates during the stay which calmed our nerves about being away from them. Would definitely book her again!!!”
“Meg is fantastic, our animals love her. She sends great update photos and get consistent updates on how everyone was when she drops in. I’d be happy to rebook her anytime we needed someone to watch our pets.”
“Ariel was great with Gemma for the long weekend I was away. She even stayed longer on the last day when my flight was delayed. I hope she will watch Gemma all the time!”
“Caitlin took great care of my pups! I really loved that she took additional time for a meet and greet to ask necessary questions about my fur babies & provided lots of updates while I was away!”
“Natali was so attentive and communicative while watching my boy. I felt very comfortable traveling and knowing Chewie was in good hands. I will definitely be booking again. She did ask that I asked and made sure my baby was comfortable while I was away.”
“Tuongvi and her Boyfriend were available at the last minute for an out of state trip after another sitter fell through. Despite the stress that caused, I am so relieved it happened. I will absolutely be scheduling future overnights with them. My Boxer-Pit mix has separation anxiety and is dog/animal reactive. I have only left her overnight one other time so needless to say I was nervous about a long weekend away from her. Tuongvi was responsive and communicative from the minute I reached out about booking. She came over prior to the trip so I could show them my space and familiarize them and my dog. During my trip, I received regular pictures and updates. It was abundantly clear my dog was well cared for and loved.”
“Alexia was wonderful! She kept me in the loop with regular, detailed updates, and even sent pictures of my pets (dogs and ferret). They seemed to adore her! And, she took good care of my home. I’ll definitely be booking with her in the future.”
“Sherine did an excellent job as always! In spite of the busy holiday season, she took extra good care of our elderly kitties and took our new kittens and their antics in stride. She went above and beyond taking care of the house, and we are so appreciative! Good communication helped our expectations! Will definitely book with Sherine again!”

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.
Jaenechia could not have been more fantastic. Maisie truly had a day of adventure with her! She is calm, gentle, a natural. She followed every instruction, asked questions, and stayed in pleasant communication throughout the stay. We would LOVE to have her back again. 10-star sitter!!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Westfield on Rover is $40 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 3,656 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.

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.
