About: I’ve grown up in a dog loving family, from having as many as 5 dogs to being a single dog fam for a while. Always been a sucker for big dogs as i've owned alaskan malamutes, bernese mountain dogs and currently have a newfoundland. i also have had breeds like corgis and pom pom mixes and currently have a pitbull bull terrier mix & a shepsky as well! i’ve cared for neighbors smaller breeds while they’re out of town taking them on walks, feeding and just hanging out with them for periods of time. Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions or concerns! Can’t wait to meet you and your fur babies 😁🩵 My day job is super flexible so everyday looks a little different for me. The longest i’d be gone at any point in time would be 3-4 hours with a heads up as I care for my dogs as well! 😁 If thats an issue please reach out to me and we can figure something out that works best for everyone! always make sure doors and gates are closed/ secured when they’re supposed to be, i’m a very attentive and detail oriented person so I like making sure everything is as it’s supposed to be! The more instructions the better I can tailor my visit to your pets!!!!
“Emily has looked after my girl Lola on multiple occasions now, and I really cannot fault her at all. She has been super flexible and understanding with timings, communication with her is always easy, and we’ve come home to a happy Lola every single time. I can’t thank Emily enough - she’s a true gem!”
About: I was that kid at the family party that asks to see your pets and hangs out with them the rest of the night. I’ve grown up around cats, dogs and various other pets. I trained my family dogs from puppies, and have experience working with both small and large breeds. My family had a German Shorthair Pointer with epilepsy that started after he turned 4. To manage it, I helped administer medication every 12 hours for 8 years. I am familiar with administering oral medications. With my job currently being on summer break, I typically go on walks with my own dogs in evenings, but have time throughout the day to drop by for a visit. Every creature deserves to be treated with respect, kindness and understanding, my pets are no exception. They’re my family, and I want them to have the best care possible - good snacks, plenty of love and affection, physical and mental exercise, and consistent rules and expectations. When I watch other people’s pets, I want to ensure that they feel loved, cared for and safe - whether that looks like cuddling up and being cozy or simply keeping my distance and sharing in the same space with them while I take care of them.
“Bianca took very good care of my dog!! She was easy to work with and had great communication. She made sure my dog went out to potty before the end of her shift. I highly recommend!”
About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is that my experience comes from real, long-term responsibility rather than short-term or occasional care. I’ve cared for my own dog for over ten years, since I was in eighth grade, and that journey has taught me patience, consistency, and how to recognize a dog’s needs as they grow and age. I’ve also helped walk and care for a neighbor’s dog for several years, building trust and reliability until they passed away. Most importantly, I genuinely care about animals and their well-being. My long-term goal is to work in the canine unit, so I take pet care seriously and treat every animal with respect, attentiveness, and compassion—not just as a job, but as something I truly value. Pet care fits naturally into my daily life because caring for my dog has been part of my routine for over ten years. I got him when I was in middle school so throughout every stage of his life, I’ve learned how to meet his specific needs—from proper feeding and regular walks to understanding his health, behavior, and age-related changes. Over time, I’ve gained knowledge about dogs that goes beyond basic care, allowing me to be attentive, patient, and proactive in supporting his well-being every day. I care for pets both in my home and outside of my home because I genuinely value their well-being and understand how much they depend on consistent, compassionate care. Having cared for my own dog for over ten years, I’ve learned how important patience, routine, and attentiveness are to an animal’s health and happiness. That experience has made me naturally mindful and responsible when caring for other pets as well, whether it’s providing basic needs, emotional comfort, or recognizing signs that something may be off.
“Alexa agreed to petsit for my dog and cat very last minute in our home for 2 nights, and I am so happy we found her! She was very communicative and professional and my dog loved her! She left our home cleaner than when we left. Will definitely ask her to petsit for us again.”
“Mehkel was amazing!! He arrived as requested and sent photos of the dogs, and they were so happy when we came home to them. He even took the dogs to the park and I could see the dogs smiling even in the photos he sent!”
“Our dog has never been this relaxed while we are away! Kaitlyn kept our very attached vizsla happy and calm with daily walks and extra playtime—she even texted updates! She paid attention to all our instructions and concerns. She picked up after the dog everyday. She kept us informed of all issues and solutions. Our house was left clean and neat. Kaitlyn washed the sheets and towels and remade the bed. She took in and organized all mail and deliveries. Kaitlyn even weeded our garden. We will definitely book her again.”
About: I had a people aggressive dog. So I’ve learned a lot with her these past 8 years. But also Im natural caretaker so very patient! Right now on summer break looking for new position. So my schedule is pretty flexible now until I find a full time position and then I can see where dog walking fits My dog had behavior issues so I am very good with all tempers and I am very patient. I am also very observant to tell if other dogs are going to be friendly or not.
“Keane took great care of my pups and was very communicative in the process. He sent photos of happy pups, kept me update on their meals and I’d use his services again in a heartbeat!”
“We loved Alicia. Freya was very happy and enjoyed her time. How do I know? From pictures and how happy she was when I got home. Alicia understood to not be put off by her initial barking and got to know Freya at her pace and after the initial meeting, Freya warmed right up. I felt confident about Alicia and didn't worry at all while I was gone. Would definitely book her again.”
“This was my second time using Rover and I was really nervous. We have had the same dog sitter for about three years now but she is pregnant and due to give birth any day so she was unavailable. Annalie was an AMAZING communicator - incredibly prompt and so nice. Annalie came over for a meet and greet and a tour of the home and agreed it would work! Annalie watched our 12.5 year old French bulldog who has some medical things to be mindful of. We got videos and pictures and checks in as frequently as I requested in the app. I will 100% use Annalie again and I highly recommend!”
About: Caring for animals has always been more than a job to me—it's something I'm genuinely passionate about. Your fur babies deserve all the attention and love and I'm here to make sure they recieve that! I have hands-on experience caring for puppies, kittens, adult dogs and cats. I am comfortable administering medications, following detailed care instructions, transporting pets to veterinary appointments, monitoring their health, and communicating any concerns promptly with owners. Beyond basic pet care, I have experience with bathing, brushing, nail trimming, feeding routines, potty training reinforcement, and helping young puppies and kittens adjust to new environments. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, and I take the time to build trust so they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away. What truly sets me apart is the level of care and attention I provide. I don't see pets as just animals—I treat every fur baby like a member of my own family. Whether it's playtime, cuddles on the couch, long walks, enrichment activities, or simply providing companionship, I make sure each pet receives individualized care tailored to their needs. My goal is for pet parents to have complete peace of mind knowing their beloved companion is being cared for by someone who genuinely adores animals and treats them with the same love, patience, and dedication they would receive at home. I strive to create an experience where both pets and owners feel comfortable, confident, and excited to book with me again. I work full time however I’m free on Tuesday and Wednesday. On those days, I can come over play/house sit your pet, give them bathes, feed them, and make sure they’re taken care of. I can also take them out on walks. Since I only offer house sitting in your home, precautions/rules that you set in place for your pet will be what is enforced. I will make sure to constantly keep an eye on your pet, record anything going on to inform you, make sure they don’t hurt themselves, and keep the gate up (if there is any)
“Nita watched my dog/housesat for over two weeks, while I was on vacation with my family. She did a great job. She provided me with daily updates and pictures and was great at communicating with me regarding any issues, concerns, and overall updates. My house was in perfect order when I returned as well. Thank you for an amazing job! I would definitely rebook with Nita.”
“Vivian was great! Super transparent, scheduled a meet & greet, is very organized and really good with communication. Skye is a moody Shih Tzu and Vivian was super calm with him and got along really well.”
“Maddy was the perfect person to take care of our dog while we were away for the weekend. He seemed very happy and well-cared for when we returned. Would definitely book again!”
“Denise is a friendly, pet conscious person. She arrived on-time and we had a wonderful meet and greet … the pups loved her immediately. During her visit, Denise sent me pictures of the pups and took very good care of them… This gave me peace of mind while I was away. I would recommend Denise’s service for any pet owner.”
“Kat was very attentive and super sweet with my pup, giving him lots of extra attention to ease his anxiety with fireworks over the holiday weekend. I felt much better knowing he had a friend to hang out with while we were gone. She was great at giving him meds and sending updates and pictures. I will definitely use her again and recommend her to anyone needing a dog sitter!”
“Kim is FANTASTIC!!! She was so communicative and really took the time to get to know my dogs. She even won over my fearful rescue in record time. Thank you, Kim!”

Jaclyn took great care of our pets, followed all our instructions and sent photos along. She even cleaned up our dogs mess when she got into our babies diaper pail and swept the house before leaving even without being asked. Would definitely book with her again!
Cynthia has pet/house sat for us many times. Every time she has taken excellent care of our pets and this time we have a new dog so there were two dogs of very different ages and energy levels to care for. She was attentive to each one and took great care of our house, too. She is a great sitter and is highly recommended.
Grace was amazing! We always get nervous when booking through rover because we know our dog can be a handful at times. Grace was very reassuring of her positive spirit and enjoyment spending time with our dog. She does really well at communicating and keeping us updated with photos and videos throughout the day as well. She’s very professional, confident, and good at what she does! We’d love to book Grace again if we need a sitter in the future.
We’ve booked Sarah several times and trust her wholeheartedly with our two rescues while we’re out of town. She is so great with them, mindful of our training lifestyle, and respectful of house rules. She communicates frequently and leaves our place spotless upon return. If you want peace of mind while you are out of town, we highly recommend Sarah!
Bryce was great with my dog Millie, he was punctual and it was super nice that I didn’t have to worry about her, especially since it was a last minute booking. I’ve used him for a maternity photo shoot with a previous dog I’ve had & he was able to capture the best photos. Would highly recommend for dog sitting or pet photography
Kim was an amazing dog sitter! She was extremely communicative, sent plenty of updates about my sweet girl and my little Halia looked very happy and well cared for. Kim is very trustworthy and her friendly, warm personality is a pleasure to work with. I am so thankful to have found Kim as my new care taker for my doggie. I don’t trust many dog sitters and she is the best!
elizabeth is the absolute best!!!! our dogs are literally our babies and she took such amazing care of them (and our home!) while we went away for vacation! i could not recommend her enough! we will be using her for alllll our dog sitting needs in the future! ps she is also the best communicator and sends lots of pics too! she is just the best!
This was our second time using Dillan to watch our two girls! He will always be our go-to pet sitter if he is available. I didn't worry for one minute while we were gone. He stayed at our home for almost 5 days and everything was perfect. Thank you Dillan! See you next time 😸

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Westminster on Rover is $83.81 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 11,931 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Westminster. 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 Westminster 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 Westminster 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 Westminster 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 Westminster. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% 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.
