“We absolutely love Holly! She takes great care of our dog Chloe. She is a wonderful communicator. Very dependable. We know Chloe is well taken care of with Holly, and that allows us to relax on vacation without worrying about our dog being stressed because we are not there.”
“Great to receive lots of pictures of our fur babies while we were gone. Responsible sitter with good communication and care of the dogs. Will definitely use again.”
“Lauren is absolutely phenomenal! I don’t leave my dog with too many people - she’s my baby (and quite particular/quirky about things) She went above and beyond with Nova. Her communication was wonderful, she sent photos and reassuring messages letting me know how their day/evening was, and she was friendly!!! Good vibes immediately and felt completely at ease leaving my dog in her care. Can’t say enough good things!! 💛🐕”
“Shelby was perfect with our dogs. Kept us well informed and up to date. Our three Great Danes warmed up to her right away and treated her like one of the family right away. Highly recommend using Shelby if you need a sitter, especially if you need in house overnight.”
“We loved having Alexia stay with our pup! We came home to a happy bouncing pup, and we knew he was so very well taken care of by the way Alexia sent pictures every day, having all kinds of cuddles and fun. Would recommend her 110 % and can’t wait to have her sit for us again.”
“Kimberly was so attentive to all of our dogs needs! She made sure they were safe, happy, & healthy. We have more high maintenance dogs and she was the perfect sitter for them. In addition to making sure our dogs were perfectly taken care of, she went above and beyond with house sitting too! My house is going to be sad I’m back because Kimberly took such great care of the house and garden! 🥰”
About: I’ve worked at a dog hotel, and I’ve pet sat for both cats and dogs. I’ve never met a dog that didn’t like me, and I’ve never met a cat that didn’t tolerate me. I’m a student pilot, so some days I have about 2 and a half hours where I won’t be available. Otherwise I have a very flexible schedule and can spend all day or any time caring for your pet. I don’t have any pets of my own, but I’m good at making anyone’s pets friendly with me. I’ve done daily check-ins and up to two weeks staying at someone’s house to keep their dog active and happy.
About: Hello, I'm Rebecca. I'm 28 years old. I've always been an animal lover. I live with my parents who have had multiple dogs over the course of my lifetime. Being the only child still living with them, I've become their dog sitter anytime they leave for a trip, etc. I began experiencing disabling health issues right out of high school and resorted to dog sitting as a way to make money as I was not able to hold a "real" job. I grew to love it. I'm healthier now and looking to find more opportunities outside of friends, family, and neighbors. I would love to broaden my horizons and care for fur babies full time. I'm currently unemployed and have a very open schedule. I have experience caring for puppies, elderly dogs, and anything in between. I know how to administer medication and clean up accidents due to my past elderly dogs having health complications. I also have experience caring for rabbits and cats. After the passing of my 9 year old rabbit in June 2025, I felt like a piece of me was missing. Only a couple months later, I started dog walking for a woman in my neighborhood daily and it helped me through the grief of losing my bunny. That's what caused my desire to dog sit/walk to grow even more. It is said that "time heals all wounds" but the unconditional love from a furry friend really helps pass the time. I'm also a house plant lover. If needed I can water and care for any houseplants during overnight sittings. No more worrying about your beloved pets or plants while you're away! With me you can have peace of mind that they're all in good hands. I'm currently unemployed. I have a very open schedule except for weekdays from Noon-1pm (when I dog walk in my neighborhood). I have 2 separate church events scheduled on the 4th Saturday of every month. Scheduling walks or drop in visits can be tricky that day because the events don't always have a set time. I can dog sit at your home on those 4th Saturdays as long as I am able to leave for a couple hours for the events. During drop-in visits/walks I rinse and refill water bowls, replace empty treat toys, clean up any accidents that may have occurred, play with your fur baby to release any pent up energy they might have, and complete any other duties you may have for me. I pay close attention during potty breaks and notify the owners if anything is out of the ordinary. When dog sitting I can stay at your home overnight if needed. If not I can check in as often as you'd like. I can provide updates through out the day and pictures so cute you'll want to frame them.
“Laylani did an amazing job caring for our pets while we were on vacation! Our family flaked on us, and Laylani made what could have been a stressful situation super easy from the start (before we even left!) Her communication was excellent! She gave us daily updates, many with pictures. We knew our pets were in great hands while we were gone! She also saved us from potential disaster when our return flight was canceled last minute! We really can’t say enough good things about Laylani, and would recommend her to anyone!”
“Riley did a great job watching my two dogs. One needed daily pills and the other needed insulin shots. He also did house sitting for 5 days. I felt very comfortable with him at the house and didn't worry at all. Things were perfect when I returned home. He's very responsive to texts and extremely considerate. I would recommend him to anyone.”
“Patti did a fantastic job with our boys. She walked them daily, cared for them with compassion and made sure they were always ok when she was not there. She kept us informed with daily pictures and notes, which we greatly appreciated. We were happy at how well both dogs bonded with her; especially Ollie our oldest who tends to be more introverted than his younger sibling. We hope to use Patti again in the future for any of our planned trips. Very grateful for her care of our dogs.”
“Sabrina was amazing with my pups. Sabrina was very professional. Sabrina was quick to respond to messages and work with us on such short notice. If your looking for the perfect sitter, look no further than Sabrina.”
About: I grew up with multiple pets from dogs, cats, guinea pigs, you name it. I’ve always loved animals and feel I connect with them on a different level. I would love to help pet owners out and also reap the benefits of spending time with new furry friends myself :) I currently work from home every day aside from Tuesdays and Wednesdays. I am able and willing to adjust to fit the needs of pet owners! I will be very attentive and available, sure to give attention to any pets I am watching as requested. I have multiple parks near me that are very dog friendly and a short walk away. I have grown up with many animals and know their needs. I am motivated to help others and their pets!
“Gia was an excellent house sitter and pet sitter. I have two older cats, and was a little nervous about leaving them for two weeks. But when I returned, my house was clean, my cats were happy and well fed, and my mail was stacked on the kitchen table. Gia contacted me several times during my vacation, and sent photographs and video of the cats at home. I highly recommend her!”
“We had an amazing experience with Addison! From the moment we left, communication was outstanding. We received regular updates, photos, and messages throughout our trip, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Our dogs were clearly well cared for and loved. It was obvious that she took the time to get to know their personalities and made sure they were comfortable, happy, and safe. She was incredibly reliable, professional, and kind, and we never had to worry about a thing. We came home to happy, well-cared-for dogs, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and communicative pet sitter!”
About: I’ve grown up with cats and dogs my whole life and have knowledge on anything your furry friend needs! I can take them for walks, play, feed them, give them medication if needed. I love animals and would love to be a help if anyone needs! Looking to pet sit cats and dogs and also small animals if needed! I can do anything you need and have open availability. I am a full-time pet sitter so whether you’re looking for drop-in visits or overnight stays, I’ll be there! I am able to take care of your pet in any way you need. I can go for walks, feed them, change litter + clean up dog disposals, and keep your pet company for as long as needed while you are away!
“Samantha was amazing! She was very professional and my dogs immediately took to her. I have never had someone watch my dogs at our house and I was very nervous but she put my mind at ease and I will definitely be using her for future bookings!”
“Meredith did a great job with our two dogs, a four year old and a rambunctious four month old, and our 14 year-old cat. She handled our little circus with no issues!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Westhill is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Westhill
Riley was super great with my dog and cat . I think my dog wanted him to stay as he threw her ball so well . I was very scared to leave my pets but Riley was the best and my best friend now wants to use this service as well . Thank you Riley so much for loving my dog and cat and taking great care of them both .
We absolutely love Holly! She takes great care of our dog Chloe. She is a wonderful communicator. Very dependable. We know Chloe is well taken care of with Holly, and that allows us to relax on vacation without worrying about our dog being stressed because we are not there.
Kim did an excellent job with my big big rescue dog. He was a return and I did not want to board him as he would have been very stressed. She kept him entertained and her dog helped. Got him through the fourth fire works. She also did a lot of deep cleaning! She is such a great find to help take care of my boy!!! Thanks a million!
We had an amazing experience with Payton! Luca absolutely loved her and was so well cared for. She stayed at our home, kept everything very clean, and went above and beyond by leaving us a beautiful handmade welcome-back card and a sweet note about her time with Luca. She sent us pictures and detailed updates throughout the week, which we really appreciated. We felt completely at ease knowing Luca was in such loving and trustworthy hands. We would definitely book her again and highly recommend her!

FAQs for House Sitting - Westhill
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Westhill on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 362 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Westhill. 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 Westhill 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 Westhill 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 Westhill 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.

- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 95% 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.
