“Once again Melissa was awesome with Forest! I can tell he likes her because he always eats his food which he will not do if he has any stress. She sends the best pictures we even got a video of him playing! He also had a hairball on the carpet which she cleaned up - the spot is completely gone. So happy we have her to watch over our kitty and home while we are away. She is awesome!”
About: I’ve been dog sitting & cat sitting since I was 17 and have loved it since! I have 1 senior dog, and 2 cats that I couldn’t live without! I’ve been pet-sitting since high school, but have been using it as a side hobby since I’m in college studying social work! I’ve dog sat for puppies-senior dogs, and cats of all ages,I am able to administer medications, and love outside walks/play! I am in school full time, but have a reliable schedule & transportation. Monday/Wednesday/Fridays I am available anytime after 1 PM. Tuesdays and Thursdays I am available between 8 AM-11 AM and anytime after 3 PM. I have a fenced backyard but I know many great walking places in the city if applicable. I love playing and enrichment time for all animals.

“Very friendly & pleasant. Prompt with responses, good communication. Sends pictures after each visit. We don't go away often, but we feel very comfortable knowing Amanda is watching after our two cats 🐾”
“Caitlin took excellent care of our cats and dog while we were away and kept us updated the whole time! She gave some extra love to our anxious kitty and made some adjustments to make sure she was eating enough, too. I'd highly recommend her to anyone!”
“Highly recommend!!! Meaghan not only accepted a pet sit for me on short notice but was a great communicator, kind and kept us informed. She was also super punctual and thoughtful about the meds she was giving and what our dogs needed. I had great peace of mind knowing she was caring for our babies while we were out of town.”
“Samantha was great! She was wonderful at communicating and checking in with me frequently during her drop-ins with my dog Mysti. I will definitely be calling her again, it was a great experience.”
About: I have owned and cared for dogs since I was a kid, and now at 48 and retired, you could definitely do worse for someone to take care of your pup. I am available for boarding, house sitting (dependent upon the situation), doggy daycare and/or walks. As a retiree, I have all of the time needed to properly care for your pet. I am currently a dog owner, so your pup will have company. I have a large, fenced in yard, with plenty of shade. I primarily keep my dog in the home, so your pup will have as much time in or outside as he/she prefers.
About: i worked at a kennel for a year experiencing general dog/cat care, some dog bathing, and feeding the dog/ cat their specific directed food set by owners. I currently have no job so as long as i get the notification i will be good to go when ever you need you pet to be cared for. in my house we give them the love and attention they need. feeding them what the need to eat and making sure they are healthy/ safe.
“Emily arranged a meet and greet since this was my first time using her. My cat, Edna, usually hides when I am away. Was very happy to see Edna was out and about in the photos!! Will definitely use her again!”
About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was 10 years old and have always considered animals part of the family. I currently have two 8-year-old cats, and until recently I also had two dogs, including a 12-year-old German Shepherd/Malamute mix who sadly passed away from heart failure this year and a Pit Bull who passed away the year before. Caring for pets throughout their different stages of life has taught me how important patience, attention, and love are. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, giving pets attention and companionship, and keeping their normal routines while their families are away. I know how hard it can be to leave your pets with someone else, so I’ll treat them with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I’m currently a stay-at-home mom, so I have a flexible schedule and am home most of the day. My only regular commitments are school drop-off and pickup. This allows me plenty of time for walks, potty breaks, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day. I live in a quiet apartment community with a small dog park that I can use for appropriate dogs. I have two friendly 8-year-old cats who are comfortable around people and pets. I also have a toddler who loves animals and a 5-year-old who is more timid around very energetic dogs, so I’m especially mindful of each pet’s temperament and comfort level. I will only accept pets that are a good fit for my home and family, and I always prioritize safety, supervision, and following your pet’s normal routine
“Zaylie was absolutely amazing with Philly! From the very first walk, it was clear she genuinely cares about the dogs she works with. She was reliable, communicative, and always kept me updated with photos and notes, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. Philly came back happy, exercised, and clearly well taken care of every time. You can tell Zaylie takes pride in what she does and goes above and beyond. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker!”
About: I’ve taken care of my family’s cats and friends’ pups for years. I always offer plenty of snuggles, diligently take care of basic needs, and love to partake in house hangs or walks around the neighborhood! I’m currently in between finishing graduate school and my career in the medical field. I have much free time to care for and love on your fur babies! I greatly prioritize the safety of all precious animals! I always check for closed fences and safe streets before bringing a pup out to walk or play. I am highly aware of any open doors that could pose a risk to indoor kitties. Safety first!
About: I absolutely love playing and taking care of animals. I grew up around animals since I was born. Any job required will get done and you will be more than satisfied with my services. I can help potty train, help with tricks, bathe the animal (if you want), & keep them happy during my visit with them or their visit with me in my home. I absolutely don’t like animal abuse so I will not hurt your love one or hit them for their mistake. I simply take care of the issue (ex: using bathroom in the house) by knowing to take them out every so often. I’m very nice and will take care and love on your pet(s) as if they were my own! Overall, please book me early in advance as my schedule can fill up. I also take care of your home as it’s my own and can help with watering plants, making sure trash goes out, getting the mail everyday and I will clean up my area when I stay at your house. I want to make you feel better when you turn home and have to do as little work as possible. I’m currently a college student onto becoming a nurse. I have plenty of time on my hand to accommodate your needs for your sweet pets I currently have a fenced in yard and have two smaller pups. One is more a senior so she’s constantly in bed but the other one has full energy and loves to be friendly with another pups to play with.
About: I provide loving, reliable pet care so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Whether it’s daily drop-ins, overnight stays, or walks, I treat every pet like my own—making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their routine. I’m attentive to each pet’s unique needs, from playtime and cuddles to feeding schedules and medications if needed. You can count on regular updates, photos, and lots of love while you’re gone! I am currently a hairstylist and have a very flexible schedule. I often have brakes in between clients so I can check on your pets frequently. At home, my pets are treated like family. I keep them on a consistent routine with regular feeding, fresh water, daily exercise, and plenty of playtime and affection. I pay close attention to their behavior and needs to make sure they’re happy, healthy, and comfortable. Clean spaces, lots of love, and a calm, safe environment are always my priority.
About: I’ve always loved dogs and cats and fish since I was a little. I got to pet sit for my friend once and I knew from then I loved animals even more. I finally got my own and I realized if I loved doing this so much, I should just do it as a job so the most important thing I can do for someone else’s animal is give them love, care and attention they need. I work a part-time job like two days a week so I have plenty of time to pet sit and hang out with cute cats and dogs!! I have two cats who are inside pets, I play with them all the time, and I have them on a schedule. It feels easier to have them in a routine.
About: Ive taken care of dogs since I was 13. Ive taken care of them for friends,Neighbors and family. Sometimes 7dogs in one sitting and was relied upon to feed/ water and check up on them.

If im needed later than that it can be negotiated to help you and your pet. I have 2 kittens at home so I have plenty of energy to play with your animals. When I sat for others id play, feed and if requested walk their animals.
About: I have a genuine love for animals and experience caring for both dogs and cats of different ages, sizes, and temperaments. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, walks, playtime, administering basic care, and creating a calm, safe environment. I pride myself on being dependable, communicative, and attentive to detail so your pets feel secure and you feel confident while you’re away. Caring for pets is something I truly enjoy, so I naturally build it into my everyday routine. I make time each day for walks, playtime, and plenty of attention, and I’m available throughout the week and on weekends to keep pets happy, comfortable, and on their normal schedule. I treat every client’s home with the same respect and care as my own, creating a calm, secure environment for your pets. I follow all instructions closely—from feeding routines to home preferences—and make sure doors, gates, and safety measures are always properly secured.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Westlake is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $33 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 500 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Westlake. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Westlake. 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.
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.
