“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!”
“I reached out to Alex to watch my pup on very short notice. Not only did she respond quickly, but came to visit a day prior to my departure to get to know Bailey before I was to leave early the following morning. My pup has significant anxiety, but from the moment Alex walked in she was at ease. Alex provided pictures and updates throughout her stay. Recommend her highly!”
“House Sitting/Pet care Jan. 2026 Hannah Del was once again great with our pets. She is very loving and I know they like her since they were sad when she had to leave. She keeps us updated on their days with excellent communication; she administered their meds and kept the house tidy while we were away. We were delayed in our return flight from the east coast during the recent snowstorm, and Hannah kindly stayed the extra day giving us one less thing to worry about. Can't say enough good things about her. We will definitely be booking her in the future. Thanks again, Hannah!”
“Megan is amazing!! She stayed with our 14yr old for several nights in our home and took exceptional care of everything! She was always super responsive and sent pictures every day :) We would happily have her come again!!”
“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.”
“Lindsey took such good care of our fur babies and feathered ladies. I have 2 cats, 2 German Shepherds, and 13 chickens and she gave them lots of love and attention while we were gone. We got lots of photos and check ins which put my family at ease! Will definitely be reaching out to Lindsey in the future when we want to go on vacation. 10/10! 💕”
“Mia helped us out when our regular sitter wasn't available at the last-minute. She was quick in her communications, friendly when we met, and comfortable with our German Shepherd. We would definitely have her back to watch our dog again.”
“Victoria is so sweet and our dogs loved her. She kept us updated on how things were going and was respectful of our care instructions and our home. We would love to have her watch our dogs again. Thank you Victoria!”
“Bailey was wonderful! I cannot recommend working with her enough. After a bad experience with another sitter and when my back-up sitter had to cancel, Bailey stepped in and was exactly what we needed. I loved the sweet updates of how are dog was doing while we were away, and I felt confident in the care Bailey gave our elderly pup. It was such a relief to know things were so well taken care of! When we came home our house was very clean and our dog was very relaxed and happy”
“Ally was a great dog sitter. She took great care of Bernard and was very communicative. She send constant updates and photos of Bernard which made it easier for us to leave him behind knowing that he was well taken care of.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Westland
Mia was amazing! She helped out in a jam! Winnie and Harold loved having her here and it was nice to get away and know our babies were being taken care of. We received updates and pictures which is always nice to get. I would definitely recommend Mia to watch your fur babies!!
We had such a great experience having Megan stay at the house for a weekend so we could attend a wedding out of town. Our guy can be a little eccentric but she kept us updated, administered meds, sent lots of photos, and even gave him some extra love during a bout of unexpected fireworks. We would happily have her back 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!

FAQs for House Sitting - Westland
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Westland on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 2,358 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:
- 95% 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.
