“Ethan is absolutely amazing! He took such wonderful care of my three cats, each with their own unique personality. Every visit he left detailed and thoughtful notes that made it feel like he had known them for a long time. He followed my instructions perfectly, and it was so clear how much love and attention he gave them. Thanks to Ethan, I could truly relax and enjoy my trip without a single worry. I’m so grateful and would 100% recommend him to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!”
“Susana was great! We have a very elderly dog with a lot of issues and Susana did not hesitate to accept the booking and did a great job. She communicated well and problem solved when our pup was having some issues. Thank you for caring for Mitsi!”
About: I’ve been around all sorts of furry friends, flighty friends, and the scaley ones ect. The love and passion I have has always set me aside from most and I’ve also gathered many different experiences in the animal care field. In my growing path, I’ve worked for the Lorain County Metroparks multiple times and have been volunteering with animals since the age of 16! Pet care fits great into my daily routine due to my part-time career currently and my passion for the animal care field!! I also have 5+ years of animal handling experience/ dieting❤️ I have a fenced in yard all around and also pay attention to daily behaviors and movements. Also prioritize outdoor time and play time as well.
“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.”
“Julia was so awesome and flexible!! I had some concerns with booking a pet sitter at an apartment complex, but Julia made things go incredibly smooth! Will definitely be using her again.”
“Brian was absolutely wonderful! He took great care of our puppy, Storm, on our wedding day. He updated us with pictures, and messages. He transported Storm to and from our wedding day pictures at Lakewood Park. He went beyond our expectations. He has set the bar high and we would give the highest recommendation to book with him!! Great job! Thank you so much Brian!!”
“Alicia is amazing with our furbabies! Our dogs absolutely love her. She is affectionate, punctual, and can handle our great dane. We feel confident knowing every time she comes to our house to care for our dogs. Highly recommend!!!”
“Erin was great. Timely, great photo updates, and no news to report. Will definitely be reaching out to her again! That was the first time using Rover, and first time leaving my dog for a full weekend without a family member, and all went well!”
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.
“Ava came to my home for drop in visits with my dog on the days I work. She is reliable and took good care of my dog. Even after my dog needed surgery, she was able to come for visits to check on her. She always sends photos and updates.”
“Maddie is fantastic! She is prompt in her communication and so good with my pets, especially my dog who can be anxious around new people. She was patient, gentle and worked to win my dog over. I will definitely hire her again and encourage you to do the same.”
“Kaleigh was wonderful. Very trust worthy, prompt took the time to get to know each of our pets personalities and gave them each special attention. Such a relief to have her take care of our pets!!!”
“James was fantastic with our cats. He had thoughtful questions prior to us being away, and was really communicative during our time away. He went above and beyond when we had a sensor issue with our Simplisafe alarm system.”
“I was worried about having someone watch my temperamental weiner dog. However, Sharon knew exactly how to handle him! She is very knowledgeable and helpful. I feel so at ease knowing he is in good hands when I’m away for work! She is also very personable and easy to talk to. Thank you Sharon!”
“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!”
About: I have taken care of and raised my families dogs since I could walk! If your dog needs an extra human best friend, look no further! It is the best part of my day! I have a relatively open schedule aside from traveling on occasion. I am very quick at communicating should anything unexpectedly come up. I’m always focused on each pets needs and how I can make them comfortable. I am great with dogs of all sizes and energy levels!
“Ellen did a great job! We received regular photo updates while we were away for 10 days and came home to a happy cat! We would recommend her to others looking for a pet caretaker.”
“Erica was amazing! We set up a meet and greet and our cat is very selective of who he immediately goes up to and he wasted no time meeting her. We were able to enjoy our trip and not worry at all if our cat was cared for and well taken care of! Will be using her again! We really appreciated the amount of pictures she sent us.”
“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%!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Westlake
Maddy is a caring and attentive sitter. She proactively clarified instructions and followed them to the letter. She gave detailed updates from the visits and always added several photos of the cats playing, eating, hanging out, and being petted. She successfully administered meds to our two senior cats who can be wiggly and hide before dosing. I would definitely book Maddy again to drop in and care for our cats!
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Westlake on Rover is $21.09 per visit (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 2,034 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Westlake. On Rover:
- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% 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.
