About: Hi, I’m Katie! 🐾 Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and I’ve always felt comfortable and at ease around pets. I’ve had pets my whole life and have experience caring for both dogs and cats for friends and family. For whatever reason, animals just seem to gravitate toward me, and I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality! My background includes working in customer service, a senior center, and summer camps, so I understand the importance of being dependable, patient, attentive, and caring. Whether your pet needs a walk, a quick check-in, some playtime, or just a little extra love and company while you’re away, I’m happy to help! I’m excited to spend time with some wonderful pets, give them the attention they deserve, and help their owners feel confident knowing their furry family members are in good hands. I’m in between jobs so I have a lot of flexibility Monday - Friday 9-3:30 and looking for reasons to get out and walk so let me take you pet out for exercise. I have a backyard with grass and fully fenced in with brick walls taller than 8ft a dog door and no carpet. I have an old sweet hound dog.

About: While I have had dogs in the past (I have a soft spot for Basset hounds and Doxies), I currently do not have any dogs of my own, leaving me with plenty of love to give yours! Currently we have a couple cats who are both very friendly, but have their own space away from other animals. I'm well equipped to provide lots of snuggles and mental stimulation through a variety of pet friendly activities. Your pup deserves a vacation too, so making sure they feel safe, loved, and enjoy their stay is my #1 priority. References upon request and additional questions are always welcome. As a former dog mom myself, I also know that being away from your pet can sometimes be hard on you as well. So don't worry, I will send plenty of pictures your way to make sure you can see that sweet little pooch of yours while you're gone. I currently office from my home with some local travel during the day. This allows for ample playtime and potty breaks for your sweet pet. I will do my very best to adhere to your pets schedule and ensure their safety and comfort. If anything strange pops up, I will usually just shoot a text so that we're all on the same page.

About: I’m a lifelong dog lover who genuinely enjoys spending time with dogs and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. I’m patient, attentive, and happy to adjust to your dog’s individual personality and routine—whether they love long walks and playtime or prefer a quieter day filled with cuddles and relaxation. I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pet, so I’ll treat your dog like they’re part of my own family. I’m also happy to provide regular photos and updates so you can feel at ease while we’re together. I work full time from home and have a very flexible schedule, so I’m able to give your pup plenty of attention throughout the day. I can take frequent breaks for potty trips, walks, playtime, feeding, and cuddles. I’m available during the week and can also accommodate weekends depending on my schedule. I do my best to keep your dog’s routine as close to normal as possible. I live in a gated community and have a private patio area with turf for easy potty breaks. I’m very attentive to each dog’s individual needs and will follow any feeding, medication, walking, or care instructions you provide. I keep a close eye on the pets in my care and want them to feel safe, comfortable, and at home while they’re with me.

About: I enjoy spending lots of time playing, walking and even a little training. I have also had senior dogs that need a little extra care and attention. I am recently unemployed and have lots of time available. I would love nothing more than to help as many pets/pet parents as I can. Dogs can enjoy lots of play time and walks as well as maybe a little place time and snacks. I have had senior dogs as well that just need some down time and cuddles. I have a big fenced in backyard that allows for lots of playtime or maybe some rest in the shade.

“Great Sitter!! Katlin was amazing to have care for our three fur babies. I appreciate the detailed communication she provided and pictures. We were able to also have a pre-meet & greet which i thought was beneficial for the fur babies to have a introduction instead of a surprise visit from a stranger while we were on vacation. Thank you Katlin!! 😊”

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.

About: Hi everyone I’m new to Rover but I would love to give your dog the best day ever! I’ve been lucky enough to have dogs my entire life as my background. Now I have two mini dachshunds of my own that are the sweetest and goofy boys. I took time off work when I got chili (first pup) to ensure he was trained from day one and well taken care of. Went back to work for another year and now have decided to quit my corporate job because I wasn’t fulfilled to now pursue this career full time. Since I’m new I have cheap prices to build myself up but my goal is to start my own doggy day care full time. If you can help me with my dream that would be so appreciated! Please reach out if you have any questions, I will be happy to connect. :) I have a dog of my own so taking care of him everyday and any minute I’m home. I have a hybrid job so depending on the day but he is walked before I leave and as soon as I get back. I always make sure he is fed, walked, played with, and he gets tons of cuddles more than he probably wants. I will care for them in every way that the owner says or the pets needs. I’m structured, understanding, and flexible. If you leave me a list of to do or specific requirements I will make sure they get done and on time. I’m healthy young adult who has no problem playing or taking a dog on a long walk.

I really appreciated that she checked-in with me, requesting to change the drop-in time. I highly recommend Sarah and would trust her to take care of Kipo in the future.”

About: I've been surrounded by animals my entire life and have always considered pets to be part of the family. After moving out on my own, I adopted my first pet and have continued growing my furry (and finned!) family. Today, I care for two cats, one dog, and a small aquarium. Over the years, I've provided pet sitting and care for family members' pets throughout all stages of life. My experience includes caring for healthy, active pets as well as senior dogs and dogs with special needs, including seizure disorders. I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and providing individualized care to help every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Whether your pet enjoys playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply sticking to their regular routine, I'll treat them with the same care and attention I give my own pets. My own pets are like family to me and I spend time with them each day. Besides feeding them and basic care I spend time playing with them, cuddling with them and giving them all the attention they deserve. My work schedule is flexible and I am able to change my work times to fit the needs of my pets. In my home I spend a lot of time talking and cuddling with my pets. They also get hyper at times and I play along with them with their toys or just with my hands. When dogsitting my family's animals it would depend on the animal. Some of the dogs were elderly so they would not want to walk very much and just would require some love and affection. Others were very hyper and I would play with them and walk them outside when it wasn't too hot.

She really went above and beyond by even buying our 2 dogs treats and toys. On top of that she stayed more than double the time we asked her to which shows how much she really cared for our dogs. After having her she’s really set the bar high for anyone else, you must book her if she’s available!”

About: Hi! My name is Alexa, I’m a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs and other animals of many personalities and ages. I recently relocated to California and have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide attentive and reliable pet care. I am happy to help with dog walking, drop-in visits, overnight care, puppy care, and providing extra patience for senior dogs or pets who may feel anxious when their owners are away. I have a 2 year old fur baby of my own, Arlo; who's taught me how important routine, exercise, and affection are for a dog’s happiness and well-being. I’m always able to adjust to your pet's needs and personality. Whether they love long walks, playtime, or simply relaxing with someone nearby. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I enjoy spending the majority of my time with animals and being active outdoors. I structure my schedule to allow plenty of time for walks, playtime, feeding, and making sure pets get the attention they need throughout the day. I am sure to keep their routine as consistent as possible with what they’re used to at home. I follow instructions closely when it comes to feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special needs. I know pets are family, and I treat every animal in my care with the same love, patience, and respect I would give Arlo ❤️. In a client’s home, I’m very respectful of both the pet’s environment and the home itself. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while also keeping their surroundings clean and calm. I pay close attention to their behavior and energy levels to make sure they are happy and stress-free while you're away. Communication is also important to me, I like to provide updates and photos so you can feel reassured that your fur babies are doing well.

Alyssa was wonderful with August. She checked in twice a day during the week and three times a day on weekends, and kept us updated with photos and great communication. August absolutely loved her, and it was clear she cared for him like he was her own. She even brought in our packages and took care of the trash cans. We feel so lucky to have had her look after August while we were away and can’t wait to book her again!

Teri has been great for the entirety of my overseas trip. She was very communicative which I greatly appreciated and let me know when there was any change going on with my cats while I was away. We then worked together to try and find a solution before I got home. She was extremely respectful of my house and even tried to help me out with a mail situation, which she absolutely did not have to do. She sends a great amount of pictures for each visit which was lovely to receive while I was away. She is a very sweet person, great at communication, is very attentive to the animals in her care as well as respectful of the house she is visiting. Just overall a really great rover sitter and I'll be using her again for my next trip!

As of October 2026, there are 17,123 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Westminster. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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 .

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.

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.
