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.
“Forest has a great energy for animals - my dog Badger seemed to like them right away during the meet & greet. Forest asked thoughtful questions about Badger’s care & instructions and I received regular updates during the multi-day sitting. I felt confident about the quality of care Badger received.”


About: Hi I’m Ryder! Taking care of animals isn’t just a job for me, I love doing it. I’ve taken care of a variety of animals since I was in 6th grade and I am very serious about the safety and comfort of animals. I currently have my own adorable cat and puppy back home who are very happy and healthy. I have a deep love for animals and I can take care of any task you need for your animal. I will send you photo and text updates while with your pet. I will be the perfect sitter/walker for your you! I’m currently a college football player at Golden West College. I have practice Monday-Friday from 7-11AM, and class until 2PM. I am available Monday-Friday from 3PM-10PM! Saturdays and Sundays I have games and church and am not available :/ I understand how important and scary it is to trust someone with your pet. I’m responsible, attentive, and patient, and I’ll always prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness while they’re in my care. I treat your pet like it’s my own.
About: I am passionate about animals with over 15 years of professional experience to go with an entire life surrounded by animals. I have experience with animals ranging from newborn to senior, as well as experience with special medical needs for animals. I have been pet sitting, housesitting, and have experience working on farms as well. From cats and dogs to livestock to exotics, I have experience with them all and am passionate about providing exceptional care for all animals. I studied marine biology with courses in animal husbandry on top of the years of experience I carry. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to make pet care my focus. Between my pets, helping family and friends with their pets, and caring for neighborhood strays I center my life around making sure others are cared for. You can rest assured that your pets will be my priority and cared for with love and consideration. I am conscientious of each individual pets needs and make it my focus to provide specialized care for each animal I meet. I understand that each and every animal has their own personality and preferences so I make it a priority to learn their likes and preferences to make their time with me as enjoyable and stress-free as possible.

“Stephanie was absolutely wonderful! She stayed in our home and took such great care of our dog Mookie and our house. From the moment we met her, we felt completely comfortable and knew Mookie was in good hands. She was responsible, communicative, respectful and sent lots of updates and photos. We would absolutely trust Stephanie with our home and dog again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.”

“Elizabeth stayed at my house to take care of my dog while I was away, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She was reliable, respectful of my home, and clearly cared for my pup like he was her own. I received daily updates and adorable pictures, which gave me such peace of mind while I was gone. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving dog sitter! I’ll definitely be booking her again.”

“Wonderful pet care! Darlene is as good with the owners as she is with their fur-babies. The care provided left us feeling confident that our little doggos were in good hands. We really appreciate you, Darlene and hope we can have you back to look after the boys again in the future! Thank you!”

About: I grew up with a lot of dogs and cats and want to dedicate my time to taking care of them during my free time. I love meeting and interacting with new furry friends (and explore their different personalities). I currently have one senior dog (small) and an 8 month old kitten:) I am a part time Disney cast member and a full time student. My schedule for work is quite flexible so I can make it work with walking dogs and watching my family’s pets while they are away. I offer walks and drop in visits to keep your puppy entertained and give them company. I also include fun activities during my visits and walks to keep them busy and get those zoomies out:).
“This was our first time using Rover and Briana and Jared, and let me tell you it was a great experience. We have never left our dog with people other than friends or friends of friends so we were nervous, but that was relieved after meeting Briana and Jared who are both animal lovers. Briana works at a vet hospital so that was a relieve right there. They sent us multiple updates and pictures on how well they treating and spoiling our Olive. They took her on multiple walks, a hike, gave her homemade treats, lots of cuddles and playtime. It was an amazing first experience and we definitely will use Briana again if she wants us. Thank you!”

About: I have extensive experience caring for dogs and familiarizing myself with their behaviors I have partnered up with several local shelters in Orange County and LA and have fostered many dogs long term and short term. I have trained them so they can be placed in loving homes and have an easy transition. Each dog that comes in, I treat them like my own and give them all the love and exercise they need. Currently I do not have any fosters in my care and I welcome dogs of many backgrounds. I have a flexible schedule as I have my own business offering legal and identity protection. I work from home and have several entreprenurial ventures. I make my own schedule so I can give your dog the time and attention it needs. I simply abide by the owners wishes and follow their routine. i maintain the same command gestures as the owners and I make sure your dog gets plenty of exercise.
“Jane was fantastic with watching our reactive pup for 3 nights, and was awesome at communicating throughout the stay! She even tidied up kitchen and restroom, which was much more than we asked for. Thank you so much, Jane!”

About: Hi! I’m someone who genuinely understands that your dog isn’t “just a pet” they’re family, routine, and emotional security all in one. I specialize in safe, structured, and attentive walks that match your dog’s personality, energy level, and needs. Whether your dog is high energy and needs to burn it out, or more relaxed and prefers a slower pace, I adjust every walk accordingly. I’m extremely reliable, communicative, and detail-focused meaning you’ll always know: When your dog was walked How they behaved Any changes I notice (energy, mood, appetite, etc.) I don’t just “walk dogs.” I observe, adapt, and care — so you can feel fully at ease while you’re away. Comfortable with different temperaments (shy, reactive, high-energy) Strong attention to safety (leash control, surroundings, consistency) Respect your routines and instructions exactly Quick updates + photos after walks Calm, patient, and dependable energy I understand that hiring someone for your dog requires trust, not just availability. My goal is to become someone both you and your dog feel comfortable with long-term not just a one-time walker. If you’re looking for someone who is consistent, attentive, and genuinely cares about your dog’s well-being, I’d love to help. Feel free to reach out with any questions. I’m happy to meet and make sure it’s the right fit. Hiring a pet sitter you trust that your dog loves only to lose or see they are overbooked is annoying. I run my own business so I have a lot of availability and reliability. I currently own my own sound healing and reiki business and I make candles and oils and I work from home. I also do part time web design. I am responsible, detail oriented and I will prioritize your pets safety at all times and provide pictures and transparency. I am a great communicator and will make sure your pet feels safe & cared for.
About: I’ve been around dogs for most of my life! I grew up with an Australian Shepherd and have also helped care for my friend’s Chihuahua. While working as a nanny for the past couple of years, I regularly helped with the family’s two dogs as well, taking them on walks, feeding them, making sure they ate, and stepping in whenever their mom needed an extra hand. I’ve also stayed overnight in their home to care for both dogs while the family was away, including a two-week period of pet sitting. I’m comfortable following each pet’s normal routine and making sure they get plenty of attention, walks, and love while their family is away. ❤️ I currently have a very flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time for walks, drop-ins, overnight stays, and lots of attention! I’m available throughout the week and on weekends and am happy to work around your pet’s normal routine. I know how important it is to feel comfortable with someone caring for your pets and being in your home. I’m very respectful of each pet’s routine and will follow any instructions you leave for feeding, walks, medications, or anything else they need. I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention and love while keeping you updated so you know they’re happy and taken care of. ❤️
“Gloria was genuinely everything we could have hoped for. We were traveling with our two dogs and needed someone to watch them in our hotel room, which can be a little stressful because it’s an unfamiliar place for them. Bert is our 1-year-old anxious sweetheart, and Bud is our 10-year-old sweet “grumpy” old man, so we really just wanted someone who would keep them calm, safe, and comfortable. Gloria did exactly that. She was on time, kind, easy to communicate with, and sent us sweet updates and pictures throughout the night. It made such a difference being able to go out and actually feel confident that our boys were okay. She took them out, gave them treats, hung out with them, and clearly paid attention to who they are instead of just “watching dogs.” She also left us the sweetest handwritten card and a Polaroid of Bud and Bert, which honestly meant so much. It was such a thoughtful little thing and showed how much she cares. We came back to two safe, happy boys, and that’s really all you can ask for. We’re so grateful we found Gloria and would book her again in a heartbeat. Highly, highly recommend her.”

About: I had a fur-baby for 18 years. Once I was old enough I started learning to take care of her so I could be her primary caretaker. Once she passed we did adopt another puppy. I would make his puppy formula. I potty trained and taught him tricks. Im great at providing care for dogs of all ages. I as well have taken care of friends and family pets when they are on vacation. I am currently working on my own time. That means I can work whenever there is anyone in need of service or assistance. I as well am able to work around any plans. I can provide whatever is needed from me. I can follow instructions thoroughly and I’m a quick thinker. I’m an active person so your pet will have a fun time and I’ll be constantly making sure they are safe.
“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!”


About: I have taken care of fur babies since I was in my 20s when I adopted my first cat (Irie) and then shortly after a dog (Chula) too. They were my first fur baby loves on this earth. I could sit and watch them play for hours because they became besties for life. They will be deeply missed but will always be my first fur baby loves. I am currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to care for your fur babies. I am available all week days and weekends! I live in a home with a fenced in backyard with plenty of room to get energy out! My doggos staya indoors (we have central A/C) unless we are home then they will come outside and enjoy the backyard with us. We live in a calm neighborhood with 3 parks around us that the doggos love walking too and running off leash. I can also accomidate doggos who are crate training.
“V did such an amazing job watching my baby. She was super communicative and sent me tons of pictures! He looked so happy and was in a great mood when I got home (: will definitely book with her again and highly recommend her!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Westminster
Forest did an amazing job caring for Belle, our 9 year old pocket pit, Sadie, our bearded dragon, and our home for two weeks. We were able to enjoy our trip to Greece without having to worry about things at home. Forest quickly won Belle over with ball play, evening walks (Belle can be reactive on leash) and lots of pets. We will be calling on Forest again and I highly recommend!!!

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.

Wow! Helen was amazing!! We left our dog Beau and our cat Hammy with Helen for 6 days while on vacation. Beau stayed with her at her apartment and she would drop in on Ham nightly. She would send us constant updates and pictures and was quick to respond to messages. I felt that my animals were safe and well cared for. She truly went above and beyond and we cannot thank her enough. We will for sure contact Helen again in the future. Thank you :)

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.

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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Westminster is $84 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $39 and $167 per night. 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 October 2026, there are 11,908 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 , 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 .
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 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.

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.
