“McKenzie was so great with my dogs. Spent a lot of time with them during the weekend which I know they appreciated in my absence. She communicated with me throughout her stay with my beagles and I really appreciated the updates. My home was just as I left it when I returned. I will absolutely be using her again with my pups!”
“Rose is amazing!! She took amazing care of my girls and house. I get a little nervous leaving my reactive dog that has special needs but she did AMAZING with her. She gave me updates all the time and left my house spotless. I highly recommend Rose.”
“Cindy was such a great sitter for our two dogs. She was extremely professional, communicative, and kind. She went above and beyond in several ways and I would highly recommend her.”
“Laura is the best person we could ask for to take care of our pup. It was our first trip away and we were a little nervous of how our dog would respond. Laura provided great care and companionship for our pup and communicated often to give us comfort being away. Would highly recommend her.”
“Emily did an amazing job! She was kind, responsible and committed well. Both my dogs loved her and she was very respectful of my place. Would use her again and highly recommend.”
“Brandon was so amazing with our sweet pup. He was communicative, transparent, and took the best care of Kipper. Highly recommend, and will definitely be using again!”
“Sam is the best! Our dogs loved spending time with him and he was a superb dog sitter. Sam was polite, on time and gave us great updates about our pups while we were on a trip out of town and was a respectful houseguest, too!”
“Erin was great! So communicative from start to finish and I loved all the check ins she gave us while we were away. The house was also spotless when we got back! She washed the sheets and made the bed and started the dishwasher which was all so nice to come back to! Our boys were happy after a weekend together and we would love to have her back again!”
“We had such a wonderful experience with our dog sitter! Nikki was incredibly communicative from start to finish, providing regular updates that gave us total peace of mind while we were away. It was clear how much she genuinely cared for our dog — he was happy, relaxed, and clearly well loved when we returned. On top of that, she left our home spotless and tidy, which we truly appreciated after traveling. We would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional sitter!”
“Margaret was great! She stayed with our two girls for a weekend- one being medically complex and needing medications at specific times. She gave us frequent updates and we knew our girls were in great hands!”
“Kristine was amazing! We have 2 Akita’s (150lbs and 100lbs) so as one can imagine it’s difficult to find a sitter for them and feel comfortable leaving them. Before our trip, Kristine was kind enough to come over twice for a meet and greet just to make sure our babies felt comfortable. She did a great job watching them and it made our trip way less stressful knowing they were in good hands!”
“Tracie is fantastic!! My German Shepherd can be picky but she warmed up to Tracie pretty quickly. I do give a fair amount of guidance and she happily understood. She checked in a fair bit daily and made sure I knew my pets were well cared for.”
About: Hey! My name's Brett. I'm a 33 year old vegan, care deeply for all of the animals in the world, and I'm currently unemployed, so I would love to have your dog around to keep me positive during my job search :) I live in a nice, safe neighborhood and a nice backyard with enough space to run around and play. Cool park near my house too for a nice walk. *Credentials* I've taken care of my 2 beautiful rescue dogs (my golden retriever, who recently passed at 14 years old, and my papillon mix), my neighbors dog (Australian Shepherd) my girlfriend's dog (rescued street pup) and numerous friends' dogs over the last 15 years. I'm great at teaching dogs tricks too. I'm super excited to be working for Rover to make a little extra income right now and I'm looking forward to giving your pup an excessive amount of pets! ♥️♥️♥️ Currently all of my time is dedicated to job searching, house care, and pet care. You are actually doing ME a favor by letting me chill with your pup. I will spend as much time hanging out with them as possible. Going on walks, playing, relaxing, doing tricks, etc. And I'll make sure they always have what they need. They're water is full, they're fed when they're supposed to, and they have infinite pets.
“Jordan was absolutely incredible with my dog Cali for the weekend. She is an older pup and he took such great care of her. He was attentive and timely and kept in communication with me throughout the entire weekend. I can't recommend him enough!”
“McKenna did a fantastic job caring for our 2 dogs while we were away. She was prompt with her arrival to our house and a great communicator in general. She sent us pictures of the dogs and they were clearly very happy and comfortable with her, even our dachshund who is in a bit of a stranger-danger phase. Our house was clean and tidy when we came home. We will definitely be using McKenna in the future when we need help.”
“Sasha was so sweet to our pup, Gus, and kitty. Gertie. They just loved having her stay with them. She sent pictures showing how they were doing so that put us at ease knowing they were having a good time. They were in great care. Sasha also helped us out on short notice which was so kind of her.”
“If i could give Paul 6 stars i would!! He helped us out last-minute in an emergency situation and was so communicative and amazing! He took Apollo for a walk every day and sent regular updates, and left the house tidy! So thankful for Paul and would recommend him to anybody!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Westminster is $59

Nice did an amazing job with our dog Moose while we were out of the country. It gave us such peace of mind that Moose was being well cared for while we were away. We could honestly tell that Moose missed her when we got back. We will definitely book with Nice again!
We’ve known Katy for nearly 4(!) years now and she is truly the only sitter that we are okay being with our (not so easy) dogs. We just came home from a weekend trip, and the dogs said hello to us and then put on their saddest faces when Katy left. Now they’re completely passed out. We always come home to tired, happy pups and the house exactly as (or better than) we left it!!!
Jamie did a fabulous job looking after Belle! First time going this route and I couldn't be happier. She seemed much less stressed with the home turf advantage. Jamie sent updates and took great care of my girl and the place overall. Certainly great to know for next time!
Nicole was fantastic. She was so communicative and gave great updates throughout the dogsitting stay. She also came a couple days earlier than planned at the last minute bc of a family emergency that we had come up. We really appreciate her flexibility! We’ll definitely keep booking Nicole!
McKenzie was great! She was easy to communicate with and kept me updated about my Dog. My dog was also a big fan, and he is often indifferent with sitters. He spent his time downstairs enjoying life with Mckenzie, rather than sulking upstairs. Highly recommend! Thanks so much!!!
Miranda is absolutely wonderful. I am so so grateful for her expertise and thoughtfulness. She took such good care of Wyatt, doing topical treatments and giving multiple medications for an infection and concurrent lupus flair-up. She was also so kind and flexible in accommodating my schedule, even changing the linens and making the bed for me, knowing I would be getting in late after driving all day. I could not recommend her more.
Becca was great handling our two boys! Both initial meetings may have scared someone who isn’t comfortable with overly excitable dogs away, but Becca was calm and confident with them. On top of having a deaf puppy and jealous older brother, one was also diagnosed with a severe ear infection the day before we left and given an intense medication routine — we came home to a clean home, a cleared ear infection, and two happy pups! Thank you SO much Becca!

FAQs for House Sitting - Westminster
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Westminster is $50 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $89 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 November 2026, there are 8,876 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
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.
