“We had such a great experience with Kira! Our dogs absolutely loved her. It was clear from the start that she genuinely cared about them and made sure they were comfortable, happy, and well cared for while we were away. She kept our home just as we left it - clean, organized, and respected our space fully. She was also communicative throughout the stay, sending us updates and checking in as needed, which gave us great peace of mind. We’re so grateful for her help! We will surely be booking her services again, and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, responsible, and caring sitter!”
“Julie does a fantastic job with the dogs and the house. It really puts the mind at ease knowing that everything is taken care of while we are out of town or even just enjoying a late night out. Julie is the best”
“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.”
About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs since I was 10 years old. I’m experienced with dogs of different sizes, breeds, and personalities. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, bathing, playtime, giving plenty of attention, and keeping their routines consistent. I’m patient, responsible, and genuinely enjoy being around dogs. Your pup will be treated with the same love, care, and attention I would give my own. I’m home full-time, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I have plenty of flexibility throughout the day for walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, and giving your pup lots of attention and companionship. I’m able to give each dog the time and care they need. 🐶💕 I provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where pets can feel right at home. I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely get some fresh air and play. I’m also happy to follow each pet’s usual routine for feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of cuddles and attention
“Natali was wonderful with our menagerie (2 German Shepards, a Goldendoodle and of course our sweet kitty who thinks he’s a dog 🤦🏻♀️😆). ! They all loved her from their first meeting, and it was comforting to me and them to have her come to our home and stay with them! I highly recommend Natali and look forward to using 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.”
“What an excellent pet sitter! She took wonderful care of both of my pups, sent picture updates throughout their stay, and was incredibly accommodating with scheduling. I truly enjoyed the entire experience and felt completely comfortable knowing my pups were in great hands. I will absolutely be rebooking with her in the future and highly recommend her!”
“Yvette did an amazing job with our babies!! She took great care of the house and was happy to learn how to “express”one of our dogs who can’t pee too well on his own anymore 😊 Would absolutely recommend her to anyone!”
“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!”
“Carrie has stayed with our rescue dog on several occasions. Although Willy is skeptical to meet new people due to his difficult past, he instantly took to Carrie. We know that he is in good hands and gets lots of love when she stays with him. We highly recommend her services and will use her again in the future.”
“Jaye was great to communicate with and was very flexible in helping us figure out exactly what and when we needed her to come. It was nice to see pictures of the dogs and get updates from her. The dogs seemed happy and healthy when we returned. We’ll definitely be using Jaye again!”
“Elissa is amazing! Everything you would want your pet sitter to do and more! Jasper was obsessed with her! So happy I found her. Now everytime I go out of town I will feel more at ease if she can watch him!”
“Amber does an amazing job at taking care of our girls while we’re away. She takes the stress of not being home out of the equation. Highly recommend to anyone needing someone trustworthy and caring.”
“Since we meet Raven we feel very comfortable she is a nice and well educated lady. We were very please having her with our dog Lucy at our home for 4 days and night. Lucy get close to Raven very fast. Tku Raven 😊✨”
“Chelsea was AMAZING! She sent updates everyday with pictures included. Loved on our cats as well as our dog. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter with Chelsea and will definitely be using her again!!”
“OMG, Bethany is amazing. First, she read the instructions and asked really good questions. Throughout her stay, she kept me up to date, spoiled my dog with double walks, and even gave Buddy a bath. Buddy was calm and content when I got home. I wish I could go another trip so Bethany could dog sit again.”
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: Animals are my passion! I started VET school with that passion and it led me down a path of a lifetime. Trained on various animals by working for Pet Smart I have the knowledge to back up that passion too. Your pet will be in knowledgeable and caring hands from start to finish. I know your pet is family and I will stand behind the promise to love and care for your furry companion as I would my family. Currently I work as a pharmacy tech. I specialize in animal medications at my current pharmacy and in that role I make sure every pet’s safety comes first. Your pets safety and well being will take priority to anything else when in my care. So go have some fun or Go handle business both personal and professional and relax knowing your pet is taken care of. I work full time so if visits and walks are needed outside of those hours I’m your girl! I can also arrange with you alternative options. I have a guest house available for the animals that need their own space. This can include having a kennel in there or the ability to free roam.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Westfield is $45
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Westfield
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.

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 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 Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
