“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.”
“Carrie is a wonderful person and overall and took such good care of my pups when I left town to visit my family. She provided me with daily updates - texts ans pics throughout the day! Very much appreciated :) In addition to the exceptional house and dog sitting, Carrie also maintained cleanliness in my household, which also meant a lot. She is kind and genuine, and I can totally see myself forming a great friendship with her outside of dog- sitting needs. Thanks Carrie 🙂”

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: I have been taking care of pets since I was 10 yrs old for friends, family, and my own fur babies. Having owned two cats and a dog, I've had to nurse all three through difficult health challenges. I have experience working with senior animals, administering medicine, and pet diapers. I am very physically active in life so I love to give animals their dose of physical activity as well! I am a pre-professional ballet dancer who trains for less than half the day. My mornings are never too early, and my evenings won't be too late to throw off your pet's schedule. I have ample amount of time for long walks and routine breakfast/dinner that doesn't feel rushed. My schedule works well for pets who are acclimated to their owners that home often due to retirement or working remotely. I have a fairly independent cat, so keeping your fur baby separate with most of my care + attention will be no issue. My room is fairly spacious, so they can have their own space without feeling crowded. If they enjoy the outdoors, we can take great laps around the neighborhood for fresh air and sunlight, and they can sniff around my garden. There is a park less than a mile from my home that has great trails if they are on the more adventurous side.
About: Growing up, I have taken care of many dogs and cats for my neighbors and friends. From raising three dogs and two cats to providing neighborly care, my reliability in pet feeding, walking, and house-sitting pets is exceptional. I’m currently a full-time student throughout the weekdays, so my availability is open for the weekends. Depending on your fur baby’s and your needs I can be flexible with times along with overnight stays. I prioritize following the provided instructions and offering excellent care tailored to each pet's needs. Drawing from my experience as a pet owner, I recognize pets as cherished family members. Whether in my home or a client's, I prioritize transparency, updates, and utmost trustworthiness in their care.

About: My personal experience involves the care of my own two dogs and my fosters over the past four years. My fosters have ranged from puppies to senior dogs, big to small! I’ve cared for over 50 dogs until adoption. I currently have a full-time job in education, but I have time during long holiday breaks, summers, and weekends that I would like to dedicate to pet care. I have experience caring for fosters so I can adjust my care depending on the needs of your pet! I have two dogs of my own and currently fostering and older pittie.

About: Animal lover who works with pets as a career. I Am an avid animal lover and home 24/7 to monitor and care for animals all day and night with a large fenced backyard, I work with all sorts of dogs from old, blind, deaf, 3-legged, bad tempered, there’s not a challenge I can’t handle :) I have my own business working from home so I’m always available & always looking forward to take care of your fur babies for you, however I am a one family at a time sitter. I am up by 5:30 and offer a last potty break around 10 pm I have a 1/2 acre fenced in backyard and we live in a secluded area, we will have occasional bunnies or squirrels that pups seem to love to try to catch, but we have made the crawl spaces too small for them to chase, plus they are never unsupervised. If I have to run out for an occasional errand I have a pet cam to keep a close eye.
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: 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.
About: I work part-time remotely from home and have open availability to take dog walking and drop ins with short notice! I am open to take repeat furry friends and set up a weekly schedule for drop ins or walks. I have trained several dogs on leash and am happy to help if yours needs some training! I have a 10 year old puppy of my own who is great on a leash and friendly to all, I am happy to bring him with us or leave him at home for walks. I can't wait to meet your pup :) I have a very open schedule, I work remotely and I love to walk. Let me know what you need and we can coordinate a weekly schedule or just a one time booking. I am very caring of my own pets and believe everyone deserves the same in return when they go away or just need their pet walked so you don't feel guilty when you cannot get home right away. I've got you covered!
“Jailyn took great care of my three kitties for overnight house sitting over almost two weeks. The house was kept clean, the kitties happy and well fed. We had a few accidents with my one of kittens using my plants as a litter box, but Jailyn made sure to communicate and send photos when needed. Overall, the house didn’t flood or burn down and the kitties are all happy and healthy. Living with two kittens and an elderly cat isn’t easy, and I’m glad to have Jailyns help as a sitter when I have to go out of town.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Westfield is $45
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Westfield
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 November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $62 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.

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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Westfield. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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.
