“Kathleen took great care of our senior cat and our home. She navigated some technical challenges with our alarm system with professionalism and good humor. Highly recommend. Will definitely re-book.”
“Allison was amazing with our pittie mix rescue who was a stray for 2 years and can be anxious and skittish. She immediately loved Allison (more so than she even loves us, I was joking with my husband) and even went to sleep while Allison was watching her which is unheard of for our dog. Highly recommend, Allison is truly a dog whisperer!”
“Kathleen helped out last minute with a dog sitting for our girls and we couldn't be happier to have had her watch them. She was really sweet to them and sent updates while we were out of the house so we felt very at ease.”
“Christine is the best! She takes such wonder care of my two dogs and I couldn’t feel more comfortable leaving them with her. I highly recommend her services. We already have our next stay with Christine booked!”
“Tara was absolutely awesome. The daily updates were perfect, my husband I are were at a complete piece of mind knowing our pups were in good hands. 10/10 would recommend and looking forward to working with Tara again in the future!”
“Shania did a wonderful job caring for Hampton and Neko on her first stay with us. She was very communicative and kept me updated with great pictures throughout her overnight stay. I also really appreciated how she left the house in excellent condition. Highly recommended, and I’ll definitely book with her again!”
“Lyndsay was great! We lost our usual dog sitter at the last minute, but she came to our rescue, responding to our request within minutes! She was very flexible with our schedules, and took such great care of our pups and home while we were out of town. Woody and Lily are definitely looking forward to us using Lyndsay in the future. P.S. Her dog Pablo is an absolute cutie pie!”
“Elizabeth was amazing! She was so good with our three dogs and cat. They are a handful and we worry leaving them with new people but Elizabeth put our minds at ease with frequent updates and photos. She stayed at our house and left it cleaner than she found it! She really thought of everything to make sure our late arrival home was as smooth as possible. Would 100% recommend Elizabeth!”

About: With over 15 years of hands-on experience, I bring a lifetime of love and care for dogs of all shapes and sizes—from tiny Chihuahuas to towering Great Danes. I’ve been a devoted dog owner my entire life, and I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member. I’m known for being dependable, patient, and genuinely passionate about dogs. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or simply providing a calm and loving presence while you’re away, I’m here to make sure your pup feels safe, happy, and loved every step of the way. I work full-time Monday through Friday from 7:30 AM to 2:45 PM, which allows me to provide attentive pet care during afternoons and evenings on weekdays. I’m fully available all day on Saturdays and Sundays, giving your pet plenty of dedicated time for walks, play, and companionship. My schedule allows me to balance reliable, loving care with consistent availability to meet your pet’s needs throughout the week. When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on maintaining their familiar routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I follow your instructions closely—whether it’s feeding times, exercise, medication, or play preferences. I make sure to give lots of attention, affection, and positive reinforcement so your pet feels safe and happy while you’re away. I also keep the environment clean and secure, and provide regular updates so you can feel confident your furry friend is in good hands. My goal is to create a calm, loving atmosphere that feels just like home.

“We were very happy with Susan as a pet sitter. She was very attentive to and engaging with our dog, followed all our instructions, and sent a nice amount of text updates and photos of Bruno. We highly recommend Susan.”

Westgate pet parents share their Rover experiences
Cecilie was amazing with our high energy German Shepherd. I get a bit nervous asking others to watch my dog because his size and energy level can intimidate people, but Cecilie took such good care of him and made sure he was well exercised. She truly went above and beyond. We couldn’t have been happier with her and I’d definitely request her again!
Samantha was wonderful! She stayed at our house with our dog for a full week when we went away - I got daily updates/pictures and could relax knowing our dog (who is a nervous rescue) was comfortable and being taken care of. Plus she kept the house very tidy! I would definitely recommend her to watch your pet if needed, we would for sure use her again!
Kathryn was absolutely wonderful with our 2 fur babies! She was diligent with checking in/providing updates and she sent us plenty of pictures 🥰 Our boys seemed happy and settled in Kathryn’s care (like we weren’t even gone). I would recommend Kathryn over and over (and hope she comes back in the future to sit for us again)!
Jai did an excellent job caring for my kitty while I was out of town for over a week! When I came home, my apartment was in excellent shape, Jai followed all my care instructions and sent lots of photos and videos. I could rest assured that my little guy was having a great time with her! I highly recommend Jai, and would definitely book her again ❤️
Carol and our dogs experienced love at first sight. Our dogs immediately felt at ease with her. They loved and respected her. We have two large dogs and they were comforted by Carol’s energy. She was timely, confident, kind, thoughtful, and caring. Carol sent us pictures daily, modified food for sensitive stomachs, and communicated excellently and quickly. We can’t say enough good things! She’s excellent and a true pet lover. Our hamster loved her too!
Sarah did a great job watching our two cavaliers for a week while we were away! She sent lots of pictures and regular updates and our pups were happy and relaxed when we returned. We would love to work with Sarah again in the future and would highly recommend her based on her professionalism, reliability, excellent communication, and care for our dogs and home. Thank you, Sarah!
Hannah was wonderful with our 3 cats while we were away. She was punctual, responsive, and kind. Also, we traveled abroad and were worried about being able to access the Rover app but Hannah worked with us to make sure we could get in touch with her for updates.
Amber did really well with my Boston Terrier for four days without any issues. She communicated, sent pics and updates without me requesting them so that’s a plus. Prince is my third son and I am very particular about him but I would definitely book her again.
