“Amazing job watching our Winnie! Thank you so very much to Emily for all the care given to our girl. Great communication and feedback during her stay and lots of pics to keep us up to date on how Winnie was doing while we were gone. Couldn’t be happier and will definitely be using Emily again. ❤️🐾 Winnie and her family!”
“Alex did a great job watching our dog Ralphie in our home! We have never left him home with a sitter before but Alex was very responsive and communicative! She made us feel very comfortable during our time away and assured us Ralphie was safe and happy! We were able to relax and enjoy our vacation knowing he was taken care of & she sent us some photo updates which were so cute! I highly recommend booking Alex for your pet care needs.”

“Aurora was awesome taking care of my 16 year old Chihuahua that is battling cancer and some eye problems, along with our foster pup who can be a handful. They both warmed up to her right away and loved her, she followed instructions for all of their medications and eyedrops to a T.”
About: I’ve grown up in a home filled with animals including dogs, cats, guinea pigs, and fish. So caring for pets has always been a natural part of my life. Dogs especially hold a special place in my heart. My own dog is truly my best friend, and I understand how important it is to find someone you trust to care for yours. I will treat your dog with the same love, attention, and respect that I give my own. Whether your pup needs long walks, playtime, cuddles, or a consistent routine, I’m happy to accommodate their specific needs. I also have reliable transportation, so getting to and from your home is never an issue. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness will always be my top priority! 🐾💛 I have plenty of time on my hands to play and care for your pets. My schedule is also very flexible. I am open for anything! I have a loving chocolate lab puppy in my home and I am also very gentle with any other dogs! I love being around them
“Paris was an absolute God send; she took amazing care of my babies and house and sent multiple pictures every day so I could see them. I could see that my animals all loved her and enjoyed her visits. I will absolutely book her again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great pet sitter!”
“We were apprehensive to leave our pups as our first experience leaving them (different sitter) was not good. We were pleasantly surprised with Molly. Her demeanor is calming, which eased our minds. She stayed with our girls for 4 nights. She sent us photos and updates everyday. She treated our home like it was her own. We definitely recommend Molly.”
“Darriell went above and beyond when watching our dog and cat. The dog got skittish about walking while we were on vacation and Darriell was patient, communicative, and compassionate. She sent lots of pictures and I felt confident our animals were in good hands. Would definitely book again!”
“Ivy was a perfect sitter! Lacey rly loved her! Ivy sent multiple updates and pictures throughout the day was very responsive. Will definitely be reaching out to her for future sitter needs!”
About: I’ve had animals my entire life and genuinely enjoy caring for them like they’re my own. Right now, I have two cats who are my baby boys, so I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets and their routines. I’m comfortable with a wide range of animals and personalities—from high-energy dogs to more independent or shy pets—and I always take the time to make them feel safe and cared for. I’m very detail-oriented and reliable, especially when it comes to following feeding schedules, routines, and any special instructions. I know how important consistency is for pets, and I make that a priority. I work from home Monday–Friday, which gives me some flexibility during the day for drop-in visits and pet care. I have the most availability after 5 PM on weekdays and on weekends. I’m also available for overnight stays in my clients’ homes, since I live in an apartment and am not offering boarding in my own home. I care for pets in their own home so they can stay in a familiar, comfortable environment. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions for feeding, medications, litter boxes, walks, playtime, and routines. I always make sure doors are secure, pets have fresh water, and their space is clean and safe before I leave. I’m also happy to send updates and photos so you know your pets are doing well.
“Jennifer was great. She spent day and nights at my home with my cat Lily. When I returned a week later Lily was happy and my house was spotless. Jennifer also left me the sweetest thank you card. I would highly recommend Jennifer to sit or you. She loves animals and they love her. She also sent me multiple pictures and I loved that.”
“Love all the pictures and updates Huda gives. It makes me feel secure that my fur babies are loved and appreciated when I am gone. I will use Huda every time I need to be gone from home.”
“Diana did a great job with our two active dogs. She went above and beyond taking care of our home during her stay and sent us updates so we knew everything was going well. We would definitely book with her again!”

Layne was absolutely wonderful to work with!! From start to finish, she made this an easy process for us where we felt confident that our two dogs were well taken care of for our week trip. She gave us photos/ updates throughout. I would highly recommend Layne for all of your pet sitting needs, and we will definitely be using her assistance in the future. Thank you Layne!
Amazing job watching our Winnie! Thank you so very much to Emily for all the care given to our girl. Great communication and feedback during her stay and lots of pics to keep us up to date on how Winnie was doing while we were gone. Couldn’t be happier and will definitely be using Emily again. ❤️🐾 Winnie and her family!
We were happy with Allison’s recent stay while pet sitting for our anxious dog and attention-hungry cat at our house. Her communication was excellent. Allison sent regular updates and images without any request, which helped put our minds at ease, especially with an anxious dog. We will definitely want to book Allison for future stays.
Sydney has watched our dogs and house twice now and both times her communication, updates, and care provided have been exceptional! Not only have we always come home to happy pets but she goes the extra mile by making sure our home is well cared for as well! We appreciate her so much and would recommend her to all!
First time I ever left my 10 year old German Shepherd in someone else's care. I am super satisfied with Mia!! She was prompt, and commented with me in a timely manner when I messaged her. I HIGHLY recommend her. I will most definitely seek her professional services again. Thank you sooo much Mia!

FAQs for House Sitting - Westland
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Westland on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 2,361 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Westland. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Westland walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Westland maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Westland. On Rover:
- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
