“Juliana was wonderful with my dog. It was my first time leaving her with a sitter, and Juliana gave me so much peace of mind. She communicated frequently, sent plenty of photos and videos, and kept me updated on her behavior and medications. She was kind, attentive, and caring. I would absolutely recommend her!”
“Luciana took great care of our dogs and home while we were traveling. She was super responsive via text, and kept us updated with photos. Our dogs were relaxed and happy when we returned. Highly recommend.”
“Sophia is a very diligent, communicative, & thoughtful petsitter! I have 3 elderly pets with a variety of needs and Sophia recently watched them for us. I have a detailed document describing the care the pets need and it was obvious from our communications that she was very conscientious in reading and following our directions in detail. Would definitely invite her back in future! Thanks Sophia!”
“Although I was hesitant to use this app, I was blessed enough to come across Abby. She was very responsive & accommodating for our meet and greet. Abby was very loving to our fur baby ensuring he was well taken care of while we went away on vacation. She kept me updated and was very patient/respectful in dealing with me. She went above and beyond to ensure our home was kept clean and tidy. I will definitely be reaching out again, we can’t thank her enough 🙏🏻”
“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.”
“Suyana was a Godsend when my mom was still in the hospital and we didn't know if she'd be discharged or not. She was willing to help out at the last minute, and did a great job with our wonderful English Setter who loves having company. She was very punctual, responsible, and great at communicating with us.”
“Luis was very easy to work with. He came to visit our dog beforehand. Teddy got lots of walks and lots of love. We came back to a happy dog and a clean house. Cannot recommend enough!!! Thank you!”
“Winny was great at watching my 2 pups Mia and Tyler, and accommodating us last minute. They were happy when we returned and she provided daily updates with pics and videos. Will definitely hit her up once we go out of town again. She’s lovely 100/10”
“My father passed away unexpectedly and I had to leave for New York within minutes. My biggest concern was my two dogs. I reached out to Anna and she came immediately without hesitation. From that moment on, I was completely worry-free. She sent consistent updates, photos, and videos, and my dogs were clearly happy and well cared for the entire week. She stayed with them full-time and kept me calm during a very difficult time. When I returned home, my house was spotless and beautifully organized. She truly went above and beyond. She is the best dog sitter I’ve used in 9 years — 100% trustworthy and reliable. I will absolutely be using her again.”
About: I have experience with both dogs and cats, from helping in a vet clinic and working at a dog daycare to caring for my own pets over the years. I’m very patient with animals, attentive to their behavior, and I always try to follow each pet’s routine closely because I know that’s what helps them feel calm, safe, and happy while you’re away. I work remotely during the week (8am–5pm), so I’m available for reliable evening visits on weekdays. On weekends, I’m more flexible and available throughout the day. I’m a great fit for pets who are comfortable being alone during typical work hours and do best with a consistent routine. I treat every home and pet with the same respect and care I would expect for my own. I follow instructions closely and prioritize clear communication so you can feel completely comfortable while you’re away. 🪴💚
“Nicole was the best with my baby Enzo! The whole time I felt completely at ease because she cared for him just as well as I would. I really appreciate how punctual she was, both for our meet and greet and on the day of the booking, which allowed me to leave home and catch my flight without any issues. She shared photos with me the entire time and was super transparent about her schedule, letting me know when she was with him or away from the house. She was very attentive to his routine and followed all the care instructions we gave her. She played with him, made sure he rested, and spoiled my little one. She went above and beyond our expectations, and Enzo loved her!”
About: I work in the cruising industry, so I know firsthand how difficult it can be to find someone you truly trust to care for your pets while you’re away. Over the years, I’ve cared for friends’ pets for days and even weeks at a time while they travel for work. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I have furry family members of my own. I may not have any fancy “pet care” certifications or special skills, but what I do have is plenty of love, patience, attention, and a genuine soft spot for animals. My goal is to make your time away a little easier by giving your pets the same care, affection, and attention they’re used to at home- with plenty of cuddles, playtime, and, of course, treats when allowed! Your pets aren’t just pets; they’re family. I’ll treat them that way. ❤️ I work full-time from home, Monday through Friday, from 8 AM to 4 PM, so my availability is primarily in the afternoons, evenings, and on weekends. I also have a 3-year-old who may occasionally accompany me when caring for pets, provided they are comfortable and child-friendly. I’m happy to discuss each pet’s needs and make sure the arrangement is a good fit for everyone. My schedule allows me to be flexible outside of my regular work hours, and I’m especially happy to help with evening visits, walks, overnight care, and weekend stays. I have a cat and two guinea pigs at home, so I’m currently only able to host pets who are comfortable and friendly around other animals. Because of this, I’m especially happy to provide care in your home, where your pet can stay comfortable in their own familiar environment. I can help with feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, companionship, and keeping up with their normal routine while you’re away. I’m also happy to follow any specific instructions you leave for their care. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. 🐾
“David was a very accommodating sitter, and I felt comfortable knowing Boo and Roosevelt were in his care. He was flexible when we were delayed in getting back home, which was so sweet of him and his mother.”
About: Hi! I have 10 years of experience taking care of cats and dogs! I currently do not have any pets but love having them over. Not only do I have plenty experience, but I am also insured in the event of an accident! Please don’t hesitate to contact me 💖 I work from home as an administrative assistant so my schedule is very open and I am able to give really good care and attention to your pet if they are staying at my place. In addition to this I can also work traveling to your lovely animal into my schedule with no problems! While I live in an apartment building there is a fenced off area for pets to use the bathroom and play and it is even separated by the size of dogs so that they can safely play and roam. Pets are allowed on my furniture and I take care of them as if they were my own.
About: I grew up in the French countryside surrounded by animals: cats, dogs, horses and chickens, goats, and a rabbit. I've been horseback riding since I was a child, so caring for animals is second nature to me. Friends have trusted me with their pets for years, often for weeks at a time while I stay in their homes. I'm attentive to each pet's routine, personality and needs, and I treat them like family. My schedule is flexible, so I can fit walks, drop-ins and overnight stays around your pet's routine. I live in Wynwood and I'm available most days, including weekends and holidays. For house sitting, I can stay for several days or weeks at a time. Message me with your dates and I'll do my best to make it work. When I care for pets in your home, I keep their routine as close to normal as possible: same feeding times, walks and favourite spots. I send regular photo and message updates so you always know how they're doing. I always keep dogs leashed outdoors, double-check doors and locks, and follow your instructions on food, medication and house rules. Your home is treated with the same care and respect as your pet, and I'm always reachable in case of an emergency.
“Denys took amazing care of our dog Rocky while we were away. He was reliable, caring, and kept us at ease knowing Rocky was in great hands. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for dog. Highly recommend!”
“Thank you Johanna for loving on our pups while we were away. The communication was strong the entirety of our trip, and though she didn’t stay the night, she made sure to walk them enough so they were good to go. We look forward to our next booking!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Westgate is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Westgate
Mercedes and Andreina were absolutely fantastic pet sitters! They were professional from the very beginning, taking the time to complete a thorough meet-and-greet and carefully note all of our specific instructions for caring for our dog and cat. Throughout their stay, they provided daily updates with beautiful pictures and thoughtful details about our pets’ routines. They were friendly, loving, attentive, and diligent, and they made us feel completely confident that our pets were in wonderful hands. They were also very responsive to our texts and always replied promptly. They took excellent care of our home as well. Everything was left immaculate—there was no trace that anyone had stayed there! They are bilingual in English and Spanish, which is an added bonus. We were especially touched by the beautiful thank-you card they left, complete with pictures documenting our pets’ special “camp.” The stickers for the Cat Mom and Dog Mom were such a thoughtful and adorable touch! Mercedes and Andreina truly became like family to us. They were highly recommended by our neighbors, and we are so glad we found them. We will absolutely use them again and highly recommend them to other pet parents. Thank you, Mercedes and Andreina, for taking such wonderful care of our pets! ¡Mercedes y Andreina fueron unas cuidadoras de mascotas absolutamente fantásticas! Desde el principio fueron muy profesionales: se tomaron el tiempo para hacer una reunión inicial detallada y anotaron cuidadosamente todas nuestras instrucciones específicas para el cuidado de nuestro perro y nuestro gato. Durante su estadía, nos enviaron actualizaciones diarias con fotos hermosas y detalles muy atentos sobre la rutina de nuestras mascotas. Fueron amables, cariñosas, atentas y muy responsables, y nos hicieron sentir completamente tranquilos al saber que nuestras mascotas estaban en excelentes manos. También respondieron rápidamente a nuestros mensajes. Además, cuidaron nuestra casa de maravilla. ¡La dejaron impecable; no había ninguna señal de que alguien hubiera estado allí! También son bilingües, ya que hablan inglés y español, lo cual es una ventaja adicional. Nos conmovió especialmente la hermosa tarjeta de agradecimiento que dejaron, acompañada de fotos que documentaban el “campamento especial” de nuestras mascotas. ¡Las calcomanías para la mamá del gato y la mamá del perro fueron un detalle muy tierno y considerado! Mercedes y Andreina realmente se convirtieron en parte de nuestra familia. Nuestros vecinos nos las recomendaron mucho, y estamos muy felices de haberlas encontrado. Sin duda volveremos a contar con sus servicios y las recomendamos ampliamente a otros dueños de mascotas. ¡Muchas gracias, Mercedes y Andreina, por cuidar tan maravillosamente de nuestras mascotas!
Blas was great, he was so specific and detailed with letting me know if he had any issues or concerns that I may have left out when it came to taking care of my babies. I came back to my home spotless and maybe even better than I left it. My babies were well taken care of Thank you so much Blas
She was absolutely amazing with my Joey and Venus! She was so caring, patient, and attentive, and she even took the time to work on training with both of them. Venus can be shy around new people, so having someone who understood her and was patient with her meant so much to me. She kept me updated and made me feel comfortable knowing they were in good hands while I was away. She went above and beyond, and I’m so grateful for all the love and effort she put into caring for them. I would absolutely book her again and recommend her to anyone looking for a wonderful pet sitter! ❤️
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!❤️

FAQs for House Sitting - Westgate
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 4,022 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 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 Westgate. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
