About: I have cared for four dogs over the past 12 years (all rescues). I have a genuine passion for providing the best quality care, and I will treat your dog(s) like they are my own. I have extensive experience caring for dogs with high anxiety levels and/or behavioral issues, along with puppies and senior dogs. I am also highly detail-oriented, organized, and understand the importance of routine and structure in your dog's life. Your instructions, requests, and/or concerns are my top priority. I am currently working part-time, so I have extra time during the week and on weekends to provide pet and house-sitting services. I am available for drop-in visits, house-sitting, and any other requests. I will treat your home environment with the utmost respect. I will follow any instructions and requests you give me to a tee, and your pet(s) safety is my top priority.
About: Hi, I’m Viviana! Since I was a little girl, I’ve had a deep love for animals—especially dogs. I believe every dog has their own unique personality, and I treat each one with the respect, patience, and care they deserve. Their comfort and happiness are always my priority, and I pay close attention to details that help them feel safe and at ease. I understand how important routine and consistency are, so I’m committed to following your standards and maintaining any training you’ve put in place. When your pup is with me, you can relax knowing they’re in loving, reliable hands. I’ll care for your pets as if they were my own, giving them the affection, structure, and attention they need while you’re away. I currently work full-time, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. — which means I’ll have plenty of time to dedicate to your fur babies in the early mornings, evenings, and all day on the weekends. I live in a secure 1,100 sq. ft. apartment with an open floor plan, giving pets plenty of space to move around comfortably. On the grounds, there’s a dog park and open green areas, plus plenty of trails and two large parks within five miles—perfect for exercise, play, and adventure.

My goal is to provide a loving, cage-free, luxury environment ✨ , with endless play time and cuddles to make sure your pet feels right at home. Your pets schedule will be tailored to their specific needs and aiming to be similar to the routine at home. Please inform me of my medication or special needs prior to booking. As a furry animal lover, pets here receive lots of love, supervision, personalized care, and updates throughout their stay to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and right at home. (Crating provided only at request during bed time for larger or anxiety prone pets) walks/ bathroom breaks provided with leash.
About: Starting 5 years ago, I began working in the pet care field as a kennel technician. I have now added veterinary assisting to my repertoire, going on 2 years. This abundance of nuanced experience has allowed me to effectively to care for all pets sick or well, young or old, and small or large! I am currently a full time vet technician, but I can definitely fit in pet-sitting, walk-ins, and or dog walks throughout the week. I usually am home for free time and love to keep busy so I have flexible availability. I usually let my dog free roam the house when we are winding down after a walk or fetch. Interaction is key to a healthy mindset for pets, so I try to entertain them as much as possible!
About: I’ve taken care of a wide range of pets and have lots of experience. I had cats and dogs growing up and started pet sitting for neighbors and family friends when I was around 12 years old. I am used to taking care of both puppies and kittens along with senior cats and dogs. I have pet sit for animals that require medication and looked after my own dogs post surgery. I have volunteered at shelters/fostered and worked with animals of all temperaments. I just got back from a year abroad and won’t be starting school back up until January so I have lots of time and no set schedule. I often go to the gym Monday and Friday morning and hikes with my mothers dog on the weekends but I’m flexible. I have pet sit and my home and at the clients home and am comfortable with either! My house has a fenced in yard and is close to a park. I have recently taken in my grandfathers elderly cat she’s very quiet and sweet and spends most of her time sleeping in my bed. I also occasionally watch my moms husky mix who loves to play with other dogs.
“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!”
“Emily was fantastic! She did everything we asked of her. Silvie on the other hand was something to contend with. But, Emily took it in stride. We would recommend Emily to cat owners especially. We really loved getting the snap shots of Silvie everyday. nice bonus.”
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: In my circle of family and friends, I’m known as the “resident pet sitter.” I’ve cared for puppies, senior dogs, cats, and everything in between.

I’m able to give pets consistent attention throughout the day, whether that’s feeding, playtime, walks, or just keeping them company.

When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal as possible so they feel safe and comfortable. I carefully follow all feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any specific care requests. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and affection while their owners are away. I also treat every home with respect and keep things clean and organized. I’m always happy to send updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for.

About: I grew up in a house with dogs both large and small and having the responsibility of helping to care for them. When I moved into my current home and getting a dog was a possibility I went to the shelter and found my perfect buddy. I love dogs and they are an important part of my life. I like to find things that engage my dog when he plays so he is stimulated mentally as well as physically. I hope this leads to a long and healthy life for him! I have always cared for animals and to be able to provide them with a happy and healthy life is a great joy. I have potty trained puppies, crate trained adult dogs, and taught tricks.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Westland
Ryan showed up early, followed directions well and my pups absolutely loved play time with him! He sent plenty of photos and a detailed review of the visit! He even retrieved my package off my porch for me. I’m absolutely thrilled with Ryan and look forward to my pups meeting him again!!!
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!
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.
Layne did such a great job watching our German Shepherd! She didn’t mind coming over multiple times while I worked my long shift and was awesome at following directions to meet his special needs. She’s been easy to communicate with and we plan to keep asking her to watch our boy in the future
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Westland is $24 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $28 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 3,843 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 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.
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.
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.

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 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.
