“Shelby was so great!! She did a home stay with our dog Bowie who is very dog-reactive. She followed all our instructions and made sure he was comfortable on walks. She also provided updates and pictures and videos and communicated so much which we requested and really appreciated. Will definitely book her again and highly recommend her as a pet sitter! We loved her!”
About: I've taken care of animals old and young, playful and shy, and they all get the same amount of love and attention. No paw left behind. I work part time at a restaurant. I had been walking dogs the past couple years, as well as taking care of my own cat. Whither it be morning or afternoon, I always make quality time for your pets. Depending on the care needed. I spend time playing, cleaning up after animals, walks depending on how long you choose and any other activities or duties is needed, all done with care and a calm positive attitude toward the animals.
“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.”
“Katie went above and beyond to make sure our pets were taken care of properly. She did a quick visit to meet the pups and get a lay of the house in advance of the housesit. Katie sent updates throughout the stay, which made us feel like we were in good hands!”
“Emily was absolutely amazing with Furby! She was kind, patient and attentive to his needs during our 5 night stay for in-house sitting. We especially appreciated her sending us text updates and pictures throughout the stay. Emily was very responsive, kept to Furby’s schedule, and we can tell that Furby really enjoyed his time with her! Finally, we felt good about having Emily taking care of the house and would absolutely recommend her for walks and overnights to anyone!”
“Bianca was great with my dogs Luna and Koa. They have specific needs since one is deaf and the other is new to our family. When I got back from my trip, the dogs were relaxed and happy. She had great communication as well.”
“Tammy has provided dog-sitting and drop-in/walking services for me a few times now, and she always is super communicative, follows all care instructions, and sends lots of photos and videos. My dog Bowie loves her! Highly recommend her.”
About: My skills are only taking the dogs a bath and taking them on walks, and I play with them as well I give all my attention to them. I start my morning early and then I take the dog out on their first walk of the day, then I feed them their breakfast, then throughout the day I play with them and care for them. The care I would give is just giving them attention and making sure their area is always cleaned. Taking them on walks and playing with them! I always attend them to see what they need. I also provide dog sitting in your own home as much as you need me to, and I can also stay over night staying in your own home! I can come to you if you are not comfortable with your dog leaving home.
“Hailie was great. She played with our kitty and cuddled with her. Kitty has a hard time with strangers so the fact that she warmed up to Hailie so quickly says a lot! Will definitely call on her again.”
“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!”
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)
“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!”
About: Lifelong Animal Lover & Experienced Caregiver. I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life, raising everything from birds and turtles to cats and dogs. Today, I’m a proud pet parent to two gorgeous cats (ages 8 and 4) who mean the world to me. For the past several years, I have channeled my passion into professional pet sitting, hands-on shelter volunteering, and fostering—including raising a lively 4-month-old Doberman puppy. I have a massive heart for all animals and promise to treat your pets with the exact same deep love, safety, and dedicated care that I give my own. How Pet Care Fits Into My Routine Right now, I have the luxury of a completely open schedule! Since I’m currently between jobs, my days revolve entirely around pet care. Whether your cat or dog needs a mid-day play session, early morning feedings, or late-night cuddles, I can easily fit into their established routine. This flexibility also means I’m highly responsive and available for short-notice requests or extended daytime stays. Safety & Peace of Mind Your pet’s safety and your peace of mind are my top priorities. Thanks to my background volunteering in animal shelters and fostering, I am highly attuned to animal behavior and body language. I know how to spot stress early and ensure a calm, secure environment. My own home is entirely cat-proofed, smoke-free, and tailored to the comfort of my two resident cats. Whether in your home or mine, I am meticulous about keeping doors secure, maintaining strict hygiene (especially with litter boxes), and following your exact safety instructions. You will receive detailed updates and photos after every visit so you never have to worry.
“Very sweet and conscientious care for my sometimes ornery shepherd. She managed my pup perfectly on the two walks she took and I found her sincere and charming. I would definitely recommend Danielle and plan to ask her to care for my pup again.”
About: I have taken care of animals for as long as I can remember! I am constantly around and animals and having to commit myself to taking care of them. I am willing to learn and adapt to taking care of each individual dog as needed to fulfill any needs. When I come to take care of, play with, and walk your dogs I will dedicate my time to loving and caring for them. I have experience with both elderly dogs and puppies as young as just a few days old. I am currently available full time during the summer for any drop ins or house sitting when needed! I am also flexible and can accept last minute bookings. When in your home I would love to take your babies for walks, to the dog park, or anything else that is a part of their normal routine to make them more comfortable!
About: Welcome to a world where passion meets compassion for our furry friends. From cats to dogs, I adore them all. Offering drop-in visits, doggy day care, and house sitting services for your furry friends. Trust me to provide exceptional care for your pets. Book now!

“Denise is a dog whisperer and pet magnet. She is accommodating, caring, thoughtful and dog focused. But more importantly, our dogs loved her, felt safe and had a marvelous time with Denise. This is no small feat with our two feisty doxies! Thank you Rover and Denise!!”

Shelby was so great!! She did a home stay with our dog Bowie who is very dog-reactive. She followed all our instructions and made sure he was comfortable on walks. She also provided updates and pictures and videos and communicated so much which we requested and really appreciated. Will definitely book her again and highly recommend her as a pet sitter! We loved her!
I was in a bind and Caitlin saved me! had a sitter lined up and they cancelled the night before I had to leave for a flight to New York. I didn’t know what I was going to do, so I checked Rover. I messaged Caitlin and told her my circumstances. She went to my house while I wasn’t home (I gave her our house code), she got my dogs, took them to her house and watched them all weekend at her house. She sent pictures and communicated with me the entire time. I was so anxious and she helped me to feel relaxed while she took care of my two babies. I don’t know what I would have done if she had not been so understanding and accommodating. She was a great caretaker and communicator. for sure will use her again.
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Westminster on Rover is $81.9 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 12,005 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:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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.
