“Incredibly easy to use service. Michele was lovely and treated our dog just like we would. She always sent pictures and she was very communicative. We hope to continue our relationship with her!!”
“Kimberly is always so great to work with. My family and I know that our pups well cared for when she’s coming to help care for them. My pups love her and so do we!”
“The best cat sitter you could ever ask for!!!! Kim goes above and beyond if there is any issue. She took lots of extra care on our very anxious cat and even alerted us to an unwanted swarm of bees that broke into our house. She put all my anxiety at rest knowing our kitty was being so loved. Our 3rd time hiring her and won’t be our last!”
“I have a difficult cat. He has had a rough life and seems to have bonded only with us. When she comes to feed him, he runs away. But she has been diligent about showing up and giving him a chance. Without her care, I doubt that he would still be here waiting for us. I think he is getting better and is beginning to realize that seeing her means food. I like knowing that I don’t have to worry about her coming and dealing with whatever difficulties the visit gives her. We appreciate her reliability.”
“Summer is just awesome 🥰My Boys loves her.She takes care of my 3 Yorkshire terriers,walks them,feeds them,plays/cuddles them & gives one of them his insulin shots twice @ day.Highly recommended ❤️”
“Good communication, punctual, and on time. She checked in on our cat for a week, and sent pictures everyday so we could see how our cat was doing. We were never worried for our cat while we were gone.”
About: I’m experienced with high-energy & large dog breeds! I focus on structured, alert walks and attentive supervision. Above all else, I prioritize your dogs routine & safety first. I’m currently working part time, so my schedule is pretty flexible! I tend to be more available in the mornings & afternoons, but am happy to do evening work should the need arise! My schedule tends to vary week to week, but my evenings get busy from Thursday to Saturday. Otherwise, I’m happy to help! Safety, structure, and home security are my highest priorities. For house sittings and drop-ins, I strictly follow the owner's established rules, keep entryways locked, and double-check gates/doors before and after any outing. For walks, I practice active leash management and remain hyper-aware of my surroundings—maintaining safe distances from triggers, bikes, and other dogs. I ensure fresh water is always available, and send detailed updates after every visit so you know your pet and home are completely secure.
About: I have been taking care of dogs and cats for years for friends and family, as well as owning a dog of my own since my sophomore year of college. I also have volunteered over 100 hours at the Fayetteville Animal Shelter and have fostered multiple dogs through them. I have always had a strong passion for animals, especially dogs. I have dealt with small and big dogs of many different breeds. I am also well educated on basic training and obedience. I am a full-time middle school teacher, but my evenings after work are free along with weekends! I have a dog of my own, so I cannot host dogs at my house. I love walking and can deal with reactive dogs on leash or leash-pullers because my personal dog is both of those things! I also like to give dogs a bit of time to play and cuddle after walking, before leaving your home.
About: Hi! I'm a lifelong dog lover with experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. I've also worked with Wag!, where I provided reliable, attentive care for a variety of pets and built experience meeting each dog's unique needs. My professional background is in behavior analysis, so I naturally use positive reinforcement to encourage good behavior while helping dogs feel safe, comfortable, and confident. I have a dog of my own named Stella, a pittie who is truly my whole world. Being a pet parent myself, I know how stressful it can be to leave your furry family member in someone else's care. That's why I treat every pet as if they were my own, with kindness, patience, plenty of attention, and lots of love. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply keeping a consistent routine, I'm committed to providing the highest level of care. I can't wait to meet you and your best friend! I'm available on weekdays from 4:30 PM until late evening and have full availability on weekends. I'm also available for weekend boarding, so your pet will receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and companionship while you're away. Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I have a securely fenced yard and one friendly, well-socialized dog who enjoys meeting new friends. If your dog prefers their own space or is crate-trained, I can easily accommodate that as well. I always follow your pet's routine, feeding schedule, medication instructions, and any special care requests to help them feel as comfortable as possible. My background in behavior analysis has taught me to be patient, attentive to body language, and proactive in creating positive experiences. I also love keeping pet parents updated by sharing plenty of photos and videos, so you can see your furry friend having fun and know they're in great hands.
“Shelby did a great job walking Lexi while we were gone for the day. She was right on time and let us know Lexi was doing well. We will definately use Shelby again.”
“Daniella was amazing! She was super communicative, reliable, and clearly cared so much about my dog. I loved the updates and photos—it gave me so much peace of mind. My dog was happy and well taken care of when I got back. I already booked with her again and highly recommend her!”
About: I have previous pet sitting and boarding experience, and many families returned to us because their dogs were well cared for, happy, and treated like family. What sets us apart is our large property with three separate fenced yard areas, allowing dogs plenty of space to play, exercise, and safely enjoy the outdoors. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust. I provide a safe, loving home environment, personalized attention, regular updates with photos and videos, and care tailored to each dog’s needs. My goal is for every dog to feel comfortable, secure, and excited to come back for future stays. I work from home, which allows me to provide plenty of supervision, attention, and companionship throughout the day. My schedule is flexible, and my pet-loving children are always excited to help give extra love and playtime. We have fostered many dogs over the years and understand that each pet has unique needs and routines. Your pet will rarely be left alone and will be treated like part of our family. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. We have a large property with three separate fenced yard areas, providing plenty of room for safe outdoor play and exercise. Because we have fostered many dogs in the past, we are experienced in helping pets adjust to new environments and routines. I can accommodate feeding schedules, medications, crate training, and special care instructions. Dogs are supervised, treated like family, and receive regular photo and video updates throughout their stay.
“Lauren was amazing! She took great care of our two cats and dog, kept us updated, send us photos of our babies and gave our pets lots of love and attention. We came home to happy pets and will definitely book with Lauren again!”
About: I love all dogs and Gods creatures. I have been around animals all my life. I used to sit outside as a kid on my grandmas porch giving the stray cats attention. If anyone in my family had a dog I would find myself on the floor spending quality time with the dog. I also have a special place in my heart for elderly dogs. I want them to be comfortable and happy. I work part time from home, so I have plenty of time to give care and love to your dog. I can also take them for walks if they need exercise! I have a fenced in back yard for your dog to run around and have potty breaks. I can make a cozy spot at bedtime for your pet if you are able to provide their crate. I will make sure they are fed, safe and happy.
About: I have owned and cared for various sizes and breeds which include: Chihuahua, Terrier, Collie, Labrador and Lab mixes, Bully Breeds, and Great Pyrenees mixes with ages ranging from 6 weeks to senior. I am currently working remote part-time so I have a lot of flexibility and free time in my schedule to care for your fur babies! I will carefully follow all of the client's instructions for care to ensure their pets are safe, comfortable, and feel an abundance of love in their absence.
“We recommend Alexis for your Rover needs. Alexis is responsive, upbeat, and took care of our three dogs for a drop-in visit recently. One of our dogs is very barky, but sweet, and Alexis took it in stride. We also have a foster dog right now going through heartworm treatment and Alexis was good about following special instructions for him. Great experience.”
“Priscilla was wonderful! We have two very big dogs and they can be handful but she handled it like a pro. She cleaned up any messes they made and shared so many photos and videos of our babies. Thank you Priscilla!”

Once again, our pup had an amazing time with Samantha and we felt totally at ease! She is observant, kind, trustworthy, great with animals, and excellent at communication. We wouldn’t want to use anyone else! It’s hard to be away from your pet, but having them in Samantha’s care makes it 100x easier!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Westlake is $24 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $30 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 8,610 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:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% 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.
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.
