âI cannot say enough good things about Celia!!! She followed instructions to the T and sent me pictures and feedback at every visit. My (spoiled) kitties were well cared for and I will definitely request her the next time I leave town!!â


About: I have owned pets my entire life and cared for many animals throughout that time. I have the most experience with large and xl dogs, including those who are puppies, have more energy, and may still need some extra training. Iâm well acquainted with caring for pets with different medical needs, such as mobility issues, medication needs, and sensitivities. I work from home mostly with a flexible day to day, so I can spend time with your pet whenever they need! I have the ability to work from your home if your pet prefers a companion throughout the day or can stop in for walks and potty breaks throughout the day. Leaving your pet in someoneâs care is not a simple task and I want to make you feel most comfortable! My priorities will be meeting your instructions for the pet and your home to ensure youâre confident in my care. Trust from both you and your pet are key.
âJennifer is an exceptional and highly professional pet sitter. she handled an unexpected accident with my anxious dachshund calmly and compassionately, reassuring both me and my dog without any frustration or judgment. she came prepared with her own supplies, provided thoughtful updates throughout my 12âhour shift, and clearly prioritized my dogâs comfort and safety. I would strongly recommend her to anyone, especially those with sensitive or anxious dogs.â

âLauren and Ian were perfect. They came every day on time and followed the care instructions perfectly. I have a hiding kitty and they communicated well about him and gave lots of love and play to my other cat. They even brought in our mail and boxes daily. Would definitely recommend and hire again in the future!â

âElise was great with my pups giving them lots of love and play time while I was away. She was able to accommodate our last minute plans and gave our dogs the quality time they needed.â

âFantastic drop in dog sitter. Always on time for drop ins and provided great notes and feedback about how he was behaving, eating, going to the bathroom and interacting with her. She also provided some very helpful tips. Can't say enough good things about how she helped with my older and more challenging dog. Will definitely be relying on her for future drop in visits.â

About: Hi! Iâm Angel, Iâm 23, and Iâve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember! Iâve had the joy of caring for dogs, cats, and reptiles, so Iâm no stranger to all the different personalities, quirks, and needs that come with being a pet parent. Iâve also had experience with overnight pet sitting, and I truly enjoy being the person your pets can feel comfortable and safe with while youâre away. Whether your dog is full of endless energy, your cat prefers to keep to themselves, or your pet needs a little extra attention and patience, Iâm happy to meet them where theyâre at! I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry (or scaly!) family members, and I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing theyâre in good hands. Iâll make sure they get plenty of love, playtime, walks, cuddles, and attention while sticking to their normal routines as closely as possible. Iâm responsible, caring, and genuinely excited to spend time with animals, so this doesnât feel like just a job to meâitâs something I really enjoy! Iâd love the opportunity to get to know your pet and become their new favorite sitter or walking buddy. đŤśđź Outside of my full-time job, Iâm excited to spend my free time doing something I genuinely love caring for animals! I am available most weekends and afternoons:) I want to provide peace of mind to every owner I work with. I am patient, attentive, and respectful of each petâs individual personality, routine, and needs. Your petâs safety and well-being will always be my top priority.
About: As a 31 year old who's owned dogs his entire life, I've learned dog behaviour in and out, while I don't consider myself a trainer, the breeds I've owned and work with include hounds, German Shepard/Mixes, Pitbulls, Huskies, etc, I can offer basic walks around your area OR provide a speciality trail hiking experience with your pup! They will be cleaned and checked for fleas and ticks every time, and healthy exhaustion is guaranteed! My entire life I have owned high energy dogs, as a lover of nature I always learned towards dogs that could hike with me through the woods in Rain, Snow or sunshine, after doing it for years for my pups, I want to give other puppies and even senior dogs that feeling of freedom in nature! If your dog needs a companion, my German Shepard Rita can join! If your dog prefers solo hikes or hikes with their siblings that is okay as well! I treat all pets like my own children, same as yours!

âRay is the man!! He was great with both my cat and my silly lab. Being an ocean away from home was worrisome, but Ray made it easier on all of us, by keeping my fur-babies well cared for, and keeping me and my family aware of how they were doing. I have nothing I can say, but thank you!! =)â

âSteph is the perfect pet sitter for my Gracie. She has a border collie just like mine so she is well aware of their energy levels and high sensitivity. You can tell Gracie loves when Steph comes over to visit her. Steph gets a lot of that energy out that is getting built up while Gracie is home alone and shows a lot of love for her. I know I can trust her while Iâm away.â

About: I take care of dogs of all sizesâ from little Jack Russels all the way up to Bull Mastiffs and St.Bernardâs! My aunt used to run agility with her dogs so I often got to help reinforce behavioral teaching. I work in a hybrid office setting, so while I may need to go into the office some days, I always do my best to maintain your petâs routine while youâre away! Since I have two dogs who have trouble socializing, I generally come to my clients. I ask about any special commands or needs or scheduling for the pets up front so that they have some consistency while youâre away!
About: Hi! Iâm a social work student with a lifelong love for animals and hands-on experience caring for dogs. I grew up with dogs and have a strong understanding of their behaviorsâwhat they need, how they communicate, and what that means for the people who love them. I know how much pets are a part of the family, and how important it is to have someone you trust to care for them when you canât be there. Iâm CPR and First Aid certified, dependable, and attentiveânot just to animals, but also to the routines, preferences, and peace of mind of their humans. Every pet is unique, and Iâm always happy to adapt to their personality and needs with patience, compassion, and care. Whether itâs walks, playtime, feeding, or just good company, Iâm here to support both you and your furry family member. Pet care fits naturally into my routineâIâm a student with a flexible schedule, and spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy and find grounding. Whether itâs early morning walks, afternoon playtime, or evening check-ins, Iâm happy to build my day around making sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for. In both my home and a clientâs home, I focus on creating a calm, safe, and loving environment where pets feel comfortable and cared for. I follow any routines or preferences you haveâwhether thatâs specific feeding times, walk schedules, or little quirks your pet loves. With my own dogs, Iâve used positive reinforcement to teach commands and tricks, and Iâm always gentle and encouraging. I bring that same approach to every animal I care forâlots of praise, patience, and treats (if allowed!). I also pay close attention to body language and behavior so I can respond to your petâs needs in real time, whether theyâre feeling playful, anxious, or just want some quiet company. My goal is always to make sure your pet feels safe, seen, and lovedâjust like Iâd want for my own.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Westland
Kristina was great, she came beforehand and met the pups. Took time to understand everything that was needed. Went above and beyond with very little notice. 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.

Highly highly recommended! Chelsea was punctual, and our dogs absolutely loved her! She made sure to give them potty breaks, and always make sure they had freshwater! I especially enjoyed receiving pictures from her visit. We will definitely be using her again in the future.

Layne did such a great job watching our German Shepherd! She didnât mind coming over multiple times while I worked my long shift and was awesome at following directions to meet his special needs. Sheâs been easy to communicate with and we plan to keep asking her to watch our boy in the future

We are very thankful to have Lynn watch our two cats and one dog while we were on vacation. Because of her care and attention to our pets (our current 3 and others weâve had over the years she has also cared for), we can enjoy our vacations without worry of whether they are being taken care of â we know they are.

Mary was very attentive to my three dogs. She brought them a stuffed lobster which was so cute! My girl dog was upset from fireworks and she was there to console her and clean up her mess. Ik how has it is with three dogs but she was able to take it on! 10/10!!

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.

Whether youâre at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Westland stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitterâs needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Justiceâs 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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesnât 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 youâd like them to care for your pet.

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.
