“After some nightmare experiences with other sitters, Juliana was a god send. She was patient with my hyper puppy, but more than that she was reliable. Super communicative. Sent lots of updates and videos. And my pup loved her! Thank you so much Juliana!”
“Andreina and Mercedes always take incredible care of our 2 babies! They send updates and pictures throughout the day. Whenever we go on vacation, we always leave feeling at peace knowing we can fully trust them.”
About: Hi, My name is Michael M. I just moved backed home to Miami. Since my first memories we have always owned dogs. My mom had a habit of picking up stray dogs. Her heart always broke when she saw a furry defenseless dog begging for food or needing shelter. My mom's big heart exposed me to many types of dogs all different sizes and temperament. I have been dog sitting for a while now and it's one of my favorite things to do. I am a realtor and I am able to work from home during the day while clients are working and when I am away it's for only a few hours at a time. I have a fenced yard. Like I said my dog loves social interaction with other friendly doggies and would love to find friends he could play with. I am a real estate agent with my office at home. I will be able to watch over them while they play.
About: I grew up with cats in our household. When my parents went on vacation, I was the designated pet sitter. I made sure they were always well fed and that they had fresh water in their bowls. Cleaned their litter boxes and spent quality time playing. My uncle had 2 dogs which I really enjoyed growing up with. They were both high energy and loved running around in the yard and going for walks around the neighborhood. Growing up with pets in my household was a wonderful experience! I work at a full-time job Monday - Friday. I am available anytime after 5:30 pm during the weekdays & have an open schedule on weekends. I am looking to have an ongoing steady schedule and would like to establish a relationship with long-term clients. My cat Onyx, loves to play! I have an assortment of toys for him to choose from! I set aside time to play and interact with him throughout the day! He’s fed 3x daily and always has fresh water in his water bowl!
“Stephanie did a great job taking care of our two cats. One of our cats has asthma and she administered his inhaler twice a day. She was also very communicative and detail-oriented and sent great pictures of the cats. We could tell they were happy to have her taking care of them while we were gone. We would happily use her again as a petsitter. We highly recommend her.”
About: As a lifelong pet owner of 16+ years, I understand that pets aren’t just animals—they’re family. I also have professional experience working at a dog hotel, where I cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities, as well as cats. My specialties are cat sitting and dog walking, but I’m comfortable caring for a wide range of pets and their individual needs. I’m patient, attentive, reliable, and committed to making sure your pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. ❤️ I’m very flexible and available, and I’m happy to work around your schedule and discuss pricing that works for both of us. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your fur babies are in good hands! 🐶🐱💕 Pet care fits very naturally into my daily and weekly schedule. I have a flexible schedule and am available for drop-in visits, walks, and regular pet-care needs throughout the week. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine, whether that means morning or evening visits, feeding schedules, litter-box maintenance, playtime, or walks. I’m dependable, communicative, and willing to coordinate a schedule that works best for both you and your pet. I would care for another person’s pet with the same patience, attention, and love I give my own. I’d take the time to understand their routine, personality, feeding schedule, exercise needs, and any special instructions before getting started. During each visit, I’d make sure they have fresh food and water, a clean environment, appropriate exercise and playtime, and plenty of attention and companionship. I’d also keep their owner updated with photos and messages so they know their pet is safe and happy. Most importantly, I’d respect each pet’s individual needs and their owner’s home and instructions, making their time apart as stress-free as possible. 🐶🐱❤️
“I had a fantastic experience with Macenna. She took such warm, attentive care of my dog—it was clear from the start that my pup felt comfortable and happy. I especially appreciated the regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. On top of that, my home was left spotless and well cared for. Highly recommend!”
“Emily did a great job with my cat, Princi! It was my first time having someone cat sit and she made sure I knew Princi was in good hands. She checked in everyday and sent pictures of my baby. I highly recommend Emily to watch your little one, she will give you the peace of mind that they are in good hands!”
“This is so long overdue but I couldn't go without leaving a review. Audrey was a fantastic Dog Sitter and I couldn't be more grateful for how she took care of Max. Quick to respond, clear communication, pictures, video and updates. I never once had to question how Max was doing while I was away. She also came to stay at the house. She left my house in the state she found it, stripped her bed before leaving and even asked if I had any other requests before she left. I will definitely be using Audrey again and truly appreciate her, and Rover, for making my time away as comfortable as possible for Max.”
“Sam sent a note that she would be early to our place which demonstrated a facet of her exceptional communication skills. She is an excellent listener as my wife and I provided an overview and asked the right questions to get the right answers. Sam bonded extremely sell with Athena, playing on the terrace, taking her out for breaks and relaxing on the couch! Sam will be supporting overnights for us during an upcoming trip. Highly recommend Sam to help take excellent care of your dog!”
“Emily was amazing! She communicated really well throughout the entire stay and treated my pups with so much love and care. I felt completely comfortable knowing they were in great hands. We’re already using her again, and I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”
About: Former St. Bernard owner here that loves all dogs big and small. I wfh and have pet sat dogs all over the world. When you book me you can feel at ease knowing your dog is properly cared for. Before confirming booking I like to do meet and greets. This is to ensure both your 4 legged friend and I get along. Also I am allergic to cats so I can only accept bookings from folks without cats. I’m currently working from home so I have the perfect schedule to dog sit all day or take your dog for morning, afternoon, or evening walks. I will follow any instructions left by you on how to properly care for your dog. I want this to be a pleasant and seamless experience for both you and your dog.

“Jess took great care of my Dachshund while I was away. She was responsive, kept me updated with photos, and was always easy to reach. I appreciated how attentive she was to both my dog and my home. Knowing everything was being taken care of made traveling much less stressful. I’d definitely recommend Jess to anyone looking for a reliable sitter.”
“I had a wonderful experience with my pet sitter! She took great care of my cat, Julius, and gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She was caring, responsible, communicative, and treated Julius like her own. I really appreciated the updates and knowing that he was safe, comfortable, and well taken care of. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their pet. I will absolutely book her again!” 🐾❤️”
“Leo helped me out when I was in a jam. He agreed to take care of my dog and cat on very short notice and did a great job with them, keeping me informed multiple times per day. Highly recommend.”
“Hannah was so great! We were gone for 10 days for a Europe trip and it was the first time leaving our 2 huskies alone outside of boarding for this amount of time so we were super anxious about it. But Hannah was great at being communicative with us, sending pictures, and following our care instructions. After a couple days of us being gone our anxiousness completely went away & we were able to fully enjoy our trip. Our dogs are a little spoiled & needy, so we really appreciated her being so flexible & attentive to them.”
“Jacqueline was so sweet and communicative when she watched our dogs this last week! She sent lots of photos and updates, and she was very flexible when we had flight changes. Our dogs love her and we’ll definitely be booking with her again!”

Emily was amazing! She communicated really well throughout the entire stay and treated my pups with so much love and care. I felt completely comfortable knowing they were in great hands. We’re already using her again, and I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!
I HIGHLY recommend working with Lux (Emily B.). We needed a last minute cat sitter to come do a house stay. We were hesitant about leaving because our elderly cat had recently gotten injured, but Lux kept a careful eye on them the whole time and sent regular updates and sweet photos. They are kind, communicative, responsible, and genuinely love animals. They even stayed a bit longer than required to make sure our cat had company till we got home. So thoughtful, we will definitely be working with them again!
Phillip is a fantastic house and cat sitter. As a cat parent himself, he understands their needs and genuinely cares that your pet is healthy and happy while you’re away. He sent us regular updates with pictures, and I could tell our cat Hugo felt comfortable with him right away. Thank you for taking such good care of him and the outside kitty, and for treating our home with respect as well!
Janine was amazing!! She took such great care of our dog, Romeo. She kept us updated throughout her stay with texts and pictures. Our dog had gotten a little sick and Janine made sure to let us know, and went the extra mile to do the necessary tasks to make sure he got better. The cherry on top was her leaving cute little Polaroids of Romeo to come home to. Highly recommend Janine and will 100% be booking her again!!❤️
Keira is amazing! She was so kind and accommodating while taking care of my pup and apartment while we were away for the holidays. She was very communicative and I knew that everything was taken care of while we were done. Will definitely use her again in the future!❤️
She was absolutely amazing! From start to finish, she went above and beyond in caring for Sandy as if she were her own. She made sure Sandy got plenty of walks, playtime, and attention, and it was so clear that she genuinely cared about her happiness and well-being. Her daily updates were thoughtful and detailed, always including the sweetest pictures that instantly put my mind at ease. I could tell Sandy felt completely comfortable and loved, which meant the world to me. What truly stood out was her attention to detail and kindness; she didn’t just care for Sandy, she also took the time to leave the house exactly as I left it, which was such a thoughtful touch and really showed her professionalism and respect. It’s rare to find someone who combines reliability, warmth, and genuine compassion so effortlessly. I’m beyond grateful for the care and love she showed us. It gave me such peace of mind knowing she was in the best hands possible. I would recommend her to anyone in a heartbeat and will absolutely be booking with her again — she’s truly one of a kind!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 4,070 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Westgate. 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 Westgate 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 Westgate 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 Westgate 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Westgate. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
