About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I’ve been surrounded by dogs since I was born and have experience with all kinds of breeds, from small lap dogs to large, high-energy dogs. I’ve also grown up with cats and currently have cats of my own, so I’m comfortable caring for both. I know every pet has their own personality and routine, and I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’ll care for your pets the same way I care for my own—with patience, attention, and lots of affection. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy. I work a flexible schedule and do my best to accommodate each pet’s routine, whether that means walks, feeding, playtime, medication, or simply keeping them company. I understand how important consistency is, and I’ll always communicate with you to ensure your pet receives the best care possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow each owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and any special care needs. I take the time to earn each pet’s trust and make sure they feel safe and comfortable in their own home. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

“Kelsey did a wonderful job dropping in on our senior cat while we were away. She gave our cat the attention and love she needed and it was clear Kelsey genuinely cared for her. Kelsey shared lots of photos and updates to make sure we could relax on vacation knowing our cat was safe and comfortable. I highly recommend Kelsey for your Rover needs!”

“This was my first time using Patricia for cat drop-ins, and I felt completely at peace the whole time I was away. She understands cats and treats them with care. Her updates were the best I've received from any sitter: thorough, with great photos, and you can tell she isn't just checking boxes. She really pays attention and lets you know how your pets are doing. Don't hesitate. Book her!”

About: I’ve had pets my entire life and truly understand the joy and responsibility that comes with caring for them. From energetic puppies to senior dogs needing extra love and patience, I’ve had hands-on experience at every stage of a pet’s life. I also worked at a dog daycare for over a year, where I cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments—managing group play, feeding schedules, and basic training reinforcement. I bring a calm, attentive, and nurturing approach to every pet I care for, and I treat them like they’re my own. Whether your pet needs playtime, snuggles, or just someone to keep them company, I’m here to provide dependable and compassionate care. I currently am in school doing my full-time clinical rotations for occupational therapy. I will have weekends, afternoons, and early mornings available to care for your fur babies! I have a fenced in yard and a 1.5 year old doodle who loves to play! I also have 2 young kittens not even a year old yet who get along with my dog very well. I love all pets and will be so happy to spend time with each and every one of your pets!!

About: Due to my mom being a vet, there has always been a pet (usually three of them!) in our house. Because of that I have loved and taken care of animals my whole life, so much so that I even work at a dog bakery where we make human grade treats! (Don't tell my other coworkers, but bambam the shop dog is too sweet not to be my favorite!) I currently work part time most mornings, so I am available before 10am and in the afternoon to make sure your fur baby gets the love they need! I am currently offering drop-in checkins and walks depending on your needs. Whether your pet needs to be fed, walked, played with, given meds, or just needs to stretch their legs, I am perfect for the job. If there is anything else more specific your animal needs, don't hesitate to share! Your pets happiness and comfort is my goal!

About: I'm a responsible and compassionate dog lover with prior experience watching and taking care of friends' dogs. I like to play with dogs, take them for walks, and make sure they are happy and well-cared for while their owners are away. You can be sure your dog is in capable hands because I'm trustworthy, considerate of their requirements and habits, and willing to share updates and pictures. I'm eager to expand my Rover experience and provide each dog I observe tender, individualized care. I am currently working six days a week with hours of 6-2 or 3 and will attend to your pup right after work for the rest of the day! I make sure to keep pets happy in their accustomed surroundings and adhere to their regular schedule when taking care of them at home. I'll give them lots of attention, fun, walks, toilet breaks, and fresh food and drink. In order to let the owner know that their pet is content and well-cared for, I will also adhere to any special instructions they may provide and provide frequent updates and pictures!

About: Just like most people, I’ve grown up with pets my whole life. I wouldn’t know what life would be like without pups in the home! I work full time approximately 15 minutes from my home. During the summer, I play softball locally and bring the pups with me to games. I have a decent size fenced backyard! It provides the pups plenty of room to run and play. I live in a spacious home as well which provided them room to play and eat.

About: I have been training and taking care of my own dogs for 25 years now and have dog/house sat for many of my friends and family members as well. My sister was a vet technician and she taught me a lot about proper training of puppies. I have always been a dog person. I often dog/house sit for my own family members and friends when they go on vacation. I always worry about finding a trustworthy person to watch my own dog when going on vacation, so I know how important providing these services are. Rest assured your loved one will receive the best when under my care. I have always been a very honest and responsible person and look forward to meeting new animals to care for while you enjoy your time away. I have a large fenced-in backyard for your dog to run around in and a large 2 story home for your loved one to explore when inside. My own baby girl Harley, LOVES other dogs and will enjoy having friends over to run around with. I also have a medium sized Kennel available if needed/required and my home has the ability to keep animals separated by room or by floor if needed/requested. Contact me to setup a meet and greet!!

“Ally has been an absolute blessing. My original sitter had a scheduling conflict for about a week and I was fortunate Ally was available to fill in. I'd actually considered her to be the original sitter but the only reason I didn't was because I managed to find a sitter who was in the same apartment complex as me, which gave me peace of mind in case my pet had any emergencies. The initial meet and greet went very smoothly. She brought a notebook and I felt like a professor as she took notes while I explained the care duties. She was diligent with her questions and, during the visits, I never found myself having to repeat any of the instructions I'd given. My cat (who took almost a year to warm up to me) warmed up to her within minutes, which totally didn't make me jealous. It's always a plus when your pet gives you the greenlight. I chose the 60-min visit option and I know it can get repetitive and boring doing the same things every visit but she showed absolutely no signs of an "I'm just here for a paycheck" attitude. Her Rover cards always contained detailed descriptions of my cat's eating and bathroom habits, as well as his general demeanor and what they both did during the visits. And the pictures wouldn't just be the same pose shot from different angles either. All in all, she took care of my boy as if he were her own, which is honestly all I'd hoped for. As she's only a block away from me, she's definitely my first choice if I ever need a sitter again.”

About: I've been surrounded by animals my entire life and have experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities, including dogs, cats, puppies, senior pets, fish, and turtles. Growing up with dogs of all breeds has given me a strong understanding of their unique needs, from energetic puppies to pets needing extra attention. I’ve cared for multiple families’ pets while they were away, including senior dogs and overnight stays, and have built trust through reliable care, regular updates, photos, and easy communication. I love providing pets with plenty of playtime, affection, and even a few extra surprises like new toys. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable while giving owners peace of mind knowing their pets are in caring hands. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine because I have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability. I currently work part-time in retail with shorter shifts, which allows me to dedicate quality time throughout the week to caring for pets. I'm available for dog walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting, and I can often accommodate overnight stays if needed. I do my best to be flexible and am happy to help with last-minute bookings whenever my schedule allows. My goal is to provide dependable, consistent care while making sure every pet gets the time, attention, exercise, and affection they deserve. Building trust with every pet is my top priority. I take a gentle, patient approach and allow each animal to become comfortable with me at their own pace. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, so I take the time to learn their routine, preferences, and individual needs to help them feel safe and secure. Whether I'm caring for pets in my home or in a client's home, I treat them as if they were my own. I provide plenty of love, attention, playtime, exercise, fresh water, meals according to their routine, and lots of affection while always respecting their comfort level. I also make it a priority to follow any instructions provided by the owner, maintain a clean and safe environment, and send regular updates with photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away.

About: I am experienced in working with many different types of cats and dogs. I grew up with cats and dogs and work in a shelter so I am comfortable with bathroom cleanup, administering medicine if needed, feeding, exercising, and more! Pet care is already part of my daily routine with my own pets, including feeding, exercise, and making sure my pets are happy and healthy. I provide pets with fresh food and water, exercise, playtime, and plenty of attention while maintaining their normal routine. In a client’s home, I also make sure the space stays clean, follow any specific care instructions, administer medications if needed, and keep owners updated on how their pets are doing.

About: Hi! My name is Kendra, and I’ve had a love for animals for as long as I can remember. I have experience caring for many different animals, including dogs, cats, and rabbits. Growing up, I was always surrounded by pets, and recently I’ve also gained experience fostering animals, including kittens. I’m currently a student and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to spend plenty of time giving pets the attention and care they need. I have four friendly dogs and one cat, and caring for animals is a big part of my everyday life. I have a fenced yard, as well as crates and a kennel available if needed. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while they’re with me.

We really appreciate Lynn for taking such good care of our pets (1 dog and 2 cats). Lynn is very attentive to their needs -- not just their food and medications, but sitting and being with them. Plus we enjoy the pictures of each pet that she sends after every visit. This was our 8th time with Lynn caring for them. We highly recommend her!

Gave great updates and photos, even spent a little extra time and care for our pups. Will most definitely reach out to her again without hesitation.

Joselin has taken care of my Shephard twice. Nala does not do well with other dogs and therefore boarding her is not an option. Joselin is absolutely wonderful with her and never fails to send me a picture during each visit. When I get home Nala is happy and safe. I could not have asked for a more dedicated pet sitter.

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Westland

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Westland on Rover is $24 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $28 per visit. 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 October 2026, there are 3,906 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Westland. 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.

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Westland choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

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 .

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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

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 .

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Westland with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
