“Thanks again Jenet for taking such great care of Rosie! I know she had lots of fun! You really have a big heart for our four legged friends! Next time I'm in the Lake Charles area I will gladly bring Rosie back to your place!”
“Bridget treated my pup so well and eased this mama’s heart. My dog had a recently gotten neutered and she cared for him while I was at work. Upon meeting she took the time to address any needs or concerns about my pup’s care. I would book her again any day!”
About: I have been walking dogs since I was 10 from small breeds to large breeds such as Danes and Dobermans. I have taken care of and raised 2 Deaf Catahoulas, Ash & Chein Blanca, from puppyhood till 2yrs old for their furrever homes. I currently own 2 cats, 2 Koi and 1 large Goldfish and co-parenting a kitten from 5wks. I go to college from M-F 7am-2pm with weekends free. Most Fridays are sometimes half/free days. I have Holidays off from school if your pet needs care. I have a quarter acre fenced in yard for plenty of room to run and play! My cats have a separate room with a cat door they can easily go in and out to have space from other pets in the home.
“Kelly is absolutely amazing! This was my first time to ever try leaving my furbaby with someone other than family and I was very nervous. She allowed me to come meet her before even committing. Her own dog is super gentle and laid back, so my little 5lb dog was completely at ease. Kelly texted me multiple times a day to let me know my pup was ok and told me stories of what he was up to. I couldn't have asked for better experience or better care. I highly recommend her and will be using her again in the future. I travel a lot and having someone you are comfortable with and trust is so critical. Thank you Kelly!”
About: I have worked at a few vet clinics and I have worked in a doggy day care. I have taken care of all types of dogs. I have taken care of pets who need medication or have behavioral complications. I work full time in a Vet clinic but I am available most evenings after 4pm and I am available on Saturday and Sundays as well. I have a fenced in backyard for my dog to run around play, during the summer we love to get the hose out and have some fun. I have plenty of toys and a large crate in case a dog needs it.
“Callie was amazing with my little dog Emma. I was so worried about leaving her with anyone. She sent me pictures and always responded when I checked in to see how Emma was doing. Emma was happy to see me but not out of control happy like she usually is which tells me she didn’t miss me too much and was in good hands lol ?”
“Auggie’s first visit with Jada went great. She kept us informed and sent pictures which was appreciated. Will definitely book again when needed. Thankful that we have someone we can trust with our sweet pup.”

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
96% of sitters in Westlake can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Westlake home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Westlake.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Westlake. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
You and your Westlake sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in LA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
