Top rated Westgate house sitters
“We were extremely impressed with Summar’s care for our pets- 2 dogs and a cat- for 2 weeks. M She kept us informed on a daily basis, allowing us to enjoy our vacation without any concerns. She handled a couple of unexpected events with great professionalism- she really is a pro. And a warm and caring person with great pet sense- our normally standoffish cat warmed up to her immediately. Summar is 5 star plus in our book.”
“Omar was a wonderful sitter for my dog. I am very glad I found him. He sent me timely updates with photos of what he was doing to keep my dog happy and he followed all the directions I left for him. I was very pleased with the experience and would gladly use him again to watch my pup.”
“Wren did an amazing Job! She stayed with my pup for 2 weeks and was great asking questions when needed, following the instructions that I have left, and very consistently sending me updates! Nintendo seemed like he had a great time with her! I 1000% recommend her! Thank you Wren!”
“Mark did a great job with taking care of my high-energy dog, Atlas! He took him on long walks and hikes to help burn his energy. He clearly loves what he does, and I would trust him to take care of Atlas again!”
“They were absolutely great with watching my little yorkie. Before the sitting they were very diligent about setting up a meet and greet. During the meet and greet we did a practice walk and went over the stay. During the stay they were so sweet and kind to my girl. At one point my yorkie wasn't feeling well and they took my yorkie to the emergency vet and stayed there with her until I could get there. I highly recommend!!! They are a wonderful and caring sitter.”
“Nicole was amazing with our two dogs. They were well loved and cared for while we were out of town, and our pups loved her! Would highly recommend her. Thank you so much!”
“Tsaitami did a great job with our pets. Emma (the rarely-sighted cat) came out for hugs and bedtime, Eli and Josie survived storms with her. She even took Eli to our vet when he had symptoms of gastric issues. Our house was immaculate when we returned. We've already booked her for another stay. I highly recommend her.”
“Tori is a great dog sitter. She clearly communicates her schedule, shows up on time, sends great updates, follows care instructions (complicated for senior dogs), and treats our pups like gold. We’re very grateful. Thank you, Tori!”
“Holland did a fantastic job caring for our new puppy. She communicated with me before, during, and after the visit. I arrived home to a very happy dog who no longer bites at my fingers! Thank you Holland. Highly recommend!”
“Julia was fantastic! She took great care of our two dogs and two cats for a week - no small feat considering our beagles have separation anxiety and other behavioral issues. Julia has a warm, calm energy and the dogs took to her right away. She’s a great communicator and sent text updates and pics every day. We had complete peace of mind for the entire week.”
“Karachi is a terrific dog sitter. She works from home so she is with Colby all the time. He loves that. She takes him for walks and has won his trust. She also is kind to us. She changed the bed and washed the sheets and towel for us. And she left the house as clean and tidy as we left it for how. We are grateful!”
“Mecca was so great! We had her stay in the house for about one week and you could tell the cats were missing us, but were so happy with the care they’d received. The house was in great shape and she even changed the sheets before she left, which she didn’t need to do, but was a nice surprise. She kept us informed when we asked but didn’t bombard us with cat photos. We’ve been through a good amount of Rovers and so many of the people don’t do basic things even with explicit instructions (like fill water). Mecca may be ‘the one’ Highly recommend!”
“Gabriel was great! My pups were happy and relaxed when I got home. Gabriel was also available on short notice and flexible, and great about quick responses. We will definitely hire Gabriel to sit again.”
“Elena was absolutely fantastic with Dudley. We had to be out of town for several days and Elena did everything we needed to keep him happy and taken care of. She took him for several walks each day to the point where he now thinks anytime somebody moves in the house, it's to take him for a walk :)”
“Erica did a great job with our dogs, cat, and chickens. Stayed at our house for a week and was a very considerate house sitter. We’ll be calling her in the future.”
“Melissa is wonderful with our two dogs. This is the third time she’s stayed with our dogs and we can’t wait for her to come again! Appreciate all the time she spent with them.”
About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my lifelong experience caring for feline and canine companions. Growing up, I lovingly cared for six cats, handling everything from daily feedings and grooming to litter box maintenance. My heart has a special place for senior pets, inspired by my own senior dachshund, Lincoln. His health challenges, from medications to specialized care, taught me the nuances of senior pet care. While my home is quieter now since his passing, it has created a new chapter for me to share my experience and love with your furry family members, offering compassionate boarding services for dogs and cats of all ages and needs. My work-from-home schedule on Mondays and Fridays provides ample opportunity for walks, playtime, and cuddles with your pets during the day. Weekends are entirely dedicated to pet care, whether it's a long walk in the park, a fun playdate, or simply enjoying some quiet companionship at home. I live in a pet-friendly one-bedroom apartment in a lovely neighborhood with easy access to green spaces for walks. I believe in providing a loving and attentive environment for my pets, which is why I only accept one pet at a time. This allows me to give them all the love, attention, and individual care they deserve.
About: Hi everyone, My name is Rachel and I am a huge animal lover who is passionate about providing the best care and companionship for our furry friends. I have been pet sitting for close to 7 years now, through Wag and also with Rover. Experience in administering medicine for both cats and dogs and currently in process to be First Aid certified for pets as well! (As of July 2025) I grew up with animals, as I had taken care of my own dog-Misia, a coackapoo, for 10 years and my mother with her Havanese dog, Tomo, of 4 years (and on-going!) I lead an active lifestyle and take dogs out for a long walk or find fun ways to play with cats too. I want to make sure I can provide a tailored approach to make sure your pets' needs are met as a photo enthusiast, happy to take pictures and provide an update throughout a boarding and/or a sitting especially. Coming up close to 7 years of being a pet sitter for Wag, Rover and individual clients, I would be honored to be your reliable pet sitter! Currently my schedule is very open and flexible. I can accommodate a boarding at my apartment, as well as pet sitting/drop-in visits, as well for all days of the week. *Note for Boarding requests* I have another 4-year old Havanese dog (very friendly) at my apartment. Happy to have another dog for boarding but please read this note before booking a boarding request!** Thank you 😊 First and foremost what's important is that I understand the client's needs and their instructions on how to take care of their pets. Once you book my service, I would be more than happy to do an in-person meet and greet or a video call. If there are any further instructions (beyond what is listed on the Rover app), then I am happy to provide my personal email address if you would like to e-mail the instructions. These are the steps I take to ensure I can take care of the clients' pets in a safe and trusting environment.

Westgate pet parents share their Rover experiences
Karachi was great! She watched our exuberant 2 year old, 50 pound dog Luna for a week; she was reliable, dependable, and took great care of our girl. She sent us pics every day and told us how Luna was doing. She went the extra mile to come and meet with Luna before we left so Luna would be more familiar with her. She is very responsive; always answered texts immediately and kept us apprised of things. She was a perfect guest; the house was in immaculate condition when we came home. I would definitely hire her again to watch our dog. Luna seemed happy and she got the walks she needed. Karachi is a mature, poised, caring and dependable dog sitter.
Johanna took incredible care of our special needs/separation anxiety prone kitty while we were away and sent plenty of great updates and photos. We returned to a home just as we left it. We’d recommend Johanna highly to anyone and hope she can take care of our girl again in the future!
Lucas was an awesome pet sitter for our older cat while we were away! We would definitely be happy to work with him again. He stayed for over a week and gave us great daily updates, left our apartment very clean, and we could tell our cat was happy with him! Would definitely recommend him! Thank you for taking such good care of Trax, Lucas!
Jules was an amazing dog sitter! She was very communicative throughout the whole process, keeping me updated and making me feel at ease. Most importantly, my dog absolutely loved her. I could tell he was happy and well cared for. I would highly recommend Jules to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!
Maria was wonderful. We needed someone to stay at our home for the weekend to house sit and watch our pets. We have one very friendly dog and two very shy rescue cats, and Maria did a fantastic job taking care of all three of them. She was very responsive beginning with our initial request until the end of her stay. She fed our dog and cats, walked our dog every day, and gave him tons of cuddles and affection, and worked on winning over our apprehensive cats. She sent updates every day with photos, and we felt very relaxed knowing she was there taking care of the house. Would absolutely work with her again, and recommend her to anyone looking for someone to help with your furry friends.
