“Julia was fantastic! She was kind, compassionate, and caring towards my kitties and she followed my instructions perfectly (since I have a cat that needs medication). She helped ease my anxiety, gave me updated pictures daily, and was quick to respond if I had any comments or questions. I will absolutely be using her services in the future!”
“Our anxious pup hasn't had anyone other than his mom and dad take care of him in many many months, but we knew we could trust Ethan to help us out so we could go to our daughter's concert. He took him on a nice walk to get some pent up energy out, sent us a picture to show us that Z was doing well, and left us a thorough message to ease our minds about how the drop-in went overall”
“Im a sitter on Rover myself and was so happy with the how much time and care she provided my boys while I was away. She stayed the whole time and sent lots of photos too. She went the extra mile too and left treats and water outside when my cat wanted to stay outside in my backyard when she was leaving. (Which, btw, is something he does regularly to me) I would definitely contact again on my next getaway.”
About: As an animal lover, I know pets are family—not just animals. I take pride in giving them the same love and attention they get at home. Whether it’s playtime, walks, feeding, or just extra cuddles, I’m here to make sure your pet feels happy and stress-free while you’re gone. As an elementary teacher, I have a structured schedule that actually works really well for pet care. I’m available before and after school, in the evenings, and on weekends. During breaks and summers, I have even more flexibility, allowing me to provide extended care, walks, and drop-in visits. I treat every pet like they’re my own. I focus on making them feel loved, safe, and comfortable—whether that’s sticking to their usual routine, giving them extra playtime, or just spending quality time with them. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos so you always know how your pet is doing.
“Mauren and Josh sent lots of pictures and details and it was clear our dogs enjoyed spending time with them. They did a great job and we will hire them again when we need help! Thanks for working with us!”
“Kaitlyn is amazing, simply put. I needed help with my pack of 5 rather quickly and Kaitlyn was expeditious with meeting with me, my fiancé and my pack to support our needs. I have Aussies and on top of being high energy, they each have different personalities and individual needs. Kaitlyn took to them like she’s known them forever, and they absolutely adore her! One is afraid of night time and rarely will go outside for bedtime potty breaks and Kaitlyn was successful in working with her to overcome her fear in Kaitlyn’s care. One of my boys had a slight emergency on her first evening with us and she was very quick to communicate with me, trouble shoot, and resolve the issue! Her experience with animals, professionalism, and knowledge show throughout her care and my babies are grateful to her. I will forever highly recommend Kaitlyn to anyone who is searching for someone to care for and love on their fur babies.”
About: I’ve had animals my whole life and genuinely love being around them. I currently have three dogs (a terrier, a mastiff-lab mix, and a pittie) who I’m obsessed with, plus my black cat who is my best friend. I also foster puppies and senior dogs, which has given me a lot of experience with pets who need a little extra patience, care, or attention. I’m super comfortable adjusting to different energy levels whether that means keeping up with a crazy puppy or going slow and gentle with an older dog. I used to work at a doggy daycare where I cared for 100+ dogs at a time, feeding, cleaning, walking, and just making sure everyone was safe and happy. That experience taught me how to handle all kinds of breeds, sizes, and personalities. Overall, I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and well taken care of :) I’m a college student so my schedule can be pretty flexible, especially during the summer and school breaks. That’s when I’m really looking to do more pet care because I love having something active and fun to fill my time, and being around animals is honestly my favorite thing. I’ll treat your pets just like my own, with lots of love, attention, and care. I know every pet is different, so I always make sure to follow whatever instructions you leave, whether that’s feeding routines, crating, medications, walks, or anything specific to their needs. I’m very attentive to their behavior and comfort level, and I’ll make sure they feel safe and relaxed in their environment. I also keep things clean and consistent so your pet stays happy and stress-free while you’re away.
“Maura was wonderful. She was so attentive and sent amazing pictures. She’s reliable and has amazing communication. I will absolutely be using her in the future and I recommend her 100%!”
“Mitchell has watched the pups a couple times now and I couldn’t be happier. He’s great around the dogs, always communicates what’s going on in real time. It’s nice to be at ease when I’m away knowing Gladstone and Potroast are in good hands!”
“Great communication and the care for Ginger was exceptional! From new toys to plenty of time with her. Suzanne came for a week of drop ins and really took care of our pup. Thanks again!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities for over 20 years.

Because of my flexible schedule, I’m available most days of the week and can provide plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, or simply relaxing with people, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.

“Excellent service, made sure Bella was well fed and taken care of. Even cleaned up the messes Bella made of the pillow. Would highly recommend to others, will be doing business with her again in the future if needed.”
“Sharon did a wonderful job taking care of our two cats while we were on vacation. She went above and beyond to make sure all their needs were met. She was very communicative and sent lots of pictures. We would definitely use Sharon again.”
“Susana did a great job. It was a godsend that she was able to be flexible and adjust things last minute to help me. She was also very fast at responding and gave me great notes/photos at the check ins. Thank you!”
“Susan did an outstanding job taking care of Lucy during our time away. She arrived exactly on time for each drop-in visit, communicated clearly and consistently, and kept us well informed throughout. Lucy is a Belgian Malinois with plenty of energy, and Susan handled her confidently and professionally. It was clear Lucy was well cared for and comfortable in her care. We truly appreciated her reliability and attention to detail. I would absolutely recommend Susan to anyone looking for dependable, high-quality care for their pet.”

Emilee was great with our 3 cats, two of which are pretty shy and wary of strangers. She seemed to be very patient with them and it showed in the many photos she sent us during her drop in visits. Emilee had no issues giving our two cats their medications while we were gone and didn’t seemed fazed at all when we told her she might need to be patient and follow one of our cats around until she tires out since she doesn’t like getting her medication. Emilee’s care for animals showed in her communication and photos during her drop ins and we will definitely book with her again.
Maddy is responsive, attentive, and very sweet. She has a ton of experience with animals of all types and stages which made her a perfect choice for Oliver, who is older and just lost his sweet brother. He needed extra care and that was no trouble for Maddy. Oliver can be timid, but came out for Maddy without issue. This made my heart happy. I would happily book Maddy again. 💕

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Westlake on Rover is $21.09 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 2,067 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Westlake. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Westlake stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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.

- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 99% 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.
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.
