“Kayla dropped in for two days- four visits, at my home to watch my doggie while I was away. I felt complete trust and confidence in Kayla when I met her. She took loving care of my Labrador and followed the instructions I left perfectly. She updated me on all details , took amazing pics of my dog and made sure she was happy and safe on her walks and when they returned. I’m so glad we found Kayla to take care of our lab while we were away ! I hope she is able to return for future drop-in’s. I highly recommend her !”
“Once again Jeni comes through for the save! Had a last-minute commitment for a day and Jeni was able to swing by to let my dog out twice and feed her. Great updates and my dog is happy! Thanks!”
About: I have been caring for pets for decades and understand how important it is to know your dog is safe, comfortable, and genuinely loved while you are away. I care for only one visiting dog at a time in my home, which allows me to provide highly personalized and attentive care for your small to mid-sized dog. I work from home, so dogs are rarely left alone and typically only for up to 90 minutes if I attend a yoga class or run a quick errand. I also have experience caring for senior dogs and administering medication. I am patient, observant, and happy to follow your dog’s established routines so they feel as relaxed and secure as possible. My apartment community feels like a small park, with plenty of grassy areas for walks and exploration. We are also about a mile from Triunfo Canyon Park, which we visit often when the weather permits. My own dog, Chadwick, is a calm and friendly Chihuahua who enjoys sharing his home and cozy resting spots with visiting friends. My goal is to give your dog a peaceful, loving home-away-from-home experience with plenty of companionship, attention, and affection. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work from home and already plan my days around caring for my own small dog, Chadwick. I am home most of the day and can provide regular walks, meals, playtime, companionship, and plenty of opportunities to relax. Dogs are typically never left alone for more than about 90 minutes if I attend a yoga class or run a quick errand. I also keep my schedule flexible while hosting a dog so I can follow their usual feeding, medication, walking, and bedtime routines as closely as possible. I live alone in a first-floor apartment and take full responsibility for every pet in my care. Because I welcome only one visiting dog at a time, I am able to give them close supervision and personalized attention throughout their stay. My apartment has a balcony with comfortable outdoor seating where the dogs and I can relax together. Dogs are never allowed on the balcony or outside unattended, and I always accompany them when entering or leaving the apartment. Just outside my door are grassy hills, walking paths, and plenty of areas to explore throughout my apartment community. I keep dogs safely leashed outdoors and follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, walks, medication, sleeping arrangements, and household routines. My goal is to provide a calm, secure, and loving environment where your dog can feel comfortable and cared for while you are away.

“Cathleen is an outstanding Petsitter! She is a kind and gentle person who truly loves dogs and understands them. She takes each visit seriously and gives her best to our dog and home. She is flexible and also professional. She takes my requests openly and works hard to fulfill the tasks I ask her to do for my dog. I’m so grateful to have found Cathleen on Rover and am happy to have a go-to Petsitter when I need her.”
“Zack was absolutely amazing with my two dogs while I was away for a few days. My German Shepherd mix isn’t the easiest dog to care for, but Zack went above and beyond to make sure both of my dogs were happy, comfortable, and well taken care of. He’s responsible, trustworthy, and always on time. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my dogs were in such great hands. I came home to two happy, relaxed pups, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I highly recommend Zack to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter, and I will definitely be booking him again in the future!”
“Lara was a great sitter! She watched our cat over the holidays and sent lots of photos. She was communicative and quick to respond. We’d definitely have her watch our cat again!”
“Kailey was so great taking care of our two fur babies! She was always prompt and made sure to let us know how they were doing every time she stopped by. Thank you Kailey!!!”
“My Maltipoo has trust issues walking with anyone but me but was comfortable going for a walk with Jesse C. This makes me so happy and with less stress leaving my pup for work etc.”
“Super appreciate Brittany, she steps in to save the day when other sitters cancel last minute, she communicates every step of the way even when not hearing from me, sticks around to see that my avoidant cats get a little attention, and just really cares. Thanks again Brittany!”
“Samantha is amazing! She was very patient and caring with my cat in gaining his trust. She sent prompt updates and photos on how he was doing along with updates on what his temperament was like each day. I would definitely request her services again when I am out of town.”
“We feel so incredibly lucky to have found Sofia to take care of our senior kitty! She went way above and beyond our expectations. Coco was so well looked after and happy! We cannot thank Sofia enough!!”
“AMAZING! I needed help for my aunt who had broken her leg. Heidi was amazing. She went over and above the call of duty. She did so much more than walk my aunt's dog. Best experience ever!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Westlake Village
Taylor was absolutely wonderful with Cooper and Oliver! We used her for drop-in visits over 4 days, and from the very beginning she was attentive, communicative, and genuinely caring with both of our boys. She took the time to carefully read through all of our instructions and even double-checked with us beforehand to make sure she understood Oliver’s activity restrictions due to his back. Throughout the week, Taylor sent detailed Rover cards, lots of great photos, and thoughtful updates after every visit. She made sure they ate their meals, had fresh water, went outside for potty breaks, and followed our instructions closely. What we appreciated most was that she didn’t just take care of the basics, she actually spent quality time with them. She played ball with Cooper, gave Oliver plenty of attention and affection, and really seemed to get to know both of their personalities. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were being cared for by someone who was so kind and attentive while we were away. Taylor was also very responsive anytime we communicated with her and was happy to help with little things around the house, which we really appreciated. We came home to happy boys and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We would absolutely trust Taylor with Cooper and Oliver again and will definitely reach out to her for future visits. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and communicative pet sitter! 🐾❤️

Kendall is absolutely awesome! From the amazing meet and greet to the special care he gave both of my ragdoll‘s Raja and Bleu while I was out of town was top-notch. I never had to worry his communication was thorough and I truly appreciated it. My girls were safe and I definitely will use Kendall for my next out of town trip. Thank you so much.
Sandra is the absolute best with my dog Lucy! She is reliable, communicative, and always keeps me updated with messages and photos, which gives me so much peace of mind while I’m away at work. It is evident that she genuinely cares about Lucy and takes the time to make sure she is happy and comfortable. Lucy is well cared for every time. I definitely recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Westlake Village on Rover is $21.4 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 14,604 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Westlake Village. 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 Village 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 Village. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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 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.
