I cannot say enough good things about Kelly. This is the second time she has worked with my dogs and I can confidently say that she is a kind and caring animal caregiver. I felt relaxed knowing my elderly dogs were with her because she is attentive and thorough in following instructions. My dogs adore her. She loves on them as if they are her own babies. She is respectful of our home and communicates regularly. I strongly recommend Kelly for sitting and drop-ins, and plan to use her for all future dog sitting needs.

About: I have always had all kinds of dogs around me in my family since I was very young and have had lots of experience handling reactive dogs I am a college student and I work additional jobs outside of pet sitting but I do my best to remain flexible for clients and their pet’s needs. With how busy my schedule gets with balancing school and work I do request at least 48 hours notice especially for new clients as I always do meet and greets beforehand. Requests made less than 48 hours in advance I will charge 1.5x my normal rates (holiday rates for holidays). For repeat clients I will only charge a late fee for less than 24 hours notice. I have a very friendly puppy that will happily play all day long with any dog and am happy to do any crate training that a dog needs

About: All my life I’ve grown up around dogs, rabbits, fish, and most recently cats! So I’m no stranger to the cuddly, silly, and sometimes unpredictable behaviors pets can throw your way. I have experience volunteering at the Carroll County Humane Society working in the cat room to socialize kitties, and in the dog area providing them with enrichment activities! As a longtime pet lover and owner I understand that every animal is unique and has their own quirks and personalities, and I’m capable of learning your pet and giving them the best care I can! I always treat my clients homes and pets with care and respect. I’m sure to clean up after myself and the pets. I’m not just a pet sitter I’m also a house sitter so I’m willing to get the mail, take trash out, etc…

Brittany was absolutely hands down fabulous! She was caring, gentle with my old girl, attentive to their needs, flexible with changing times depending on their needs. The dogs pictures she sent after each visit were priceless. Brittany really made us feel at ease to leave them in her hands.

About: I’m a 32 year old who loves animals! I have owned and cared for dogs pretty much my entire life. (Mostly border collies). My wife, Bela, and I currently have two dogs of our own which you can see in our photos. I currently work from home and have a lot of flexibility to help care for your pups. I am willing to take your dogs for runs as well as walks if requested. Your dog will get all of the love, care and attention in the world. We just recently moved to the Westminster area. Any question? Shoot me a message! I’m currently working full time from home. I have a ton of flexibility in my schedule which allows me to care for your dogs during the day as well and the morning/evening/afternoon. My wife and I are always around on the weekend as we do not have kids. I am able to walk or run with your dogs depending on your preference. I will treat your pet as if they were my own and give them all of the love and attention they desire.

Shaelin took wonderful care of our four cats, fish, and chickens while we were away for the weekend! She had great communication throughout our trip, sent lots of pictures and updates, and gave us complete peace of mind. It was clear from the photos that our cats were comfortable and happy with her. We came home to well-cared-for pets and couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. We would absolutely book Shaelin again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring pet sitter!

About: I’ve been caring for family and neighbors’ pets since I was 16. My experience includes pet sitting for dogs and cats, caring for horses while owners were away, and hands-on care for a variety of animals including turtles, rabbits, chickens, guinea pigs, hermit crabs, and fish. I’m reliable, attentive, and treat every pet like my own while following their routines closely. I only work 4 days a week at my other job, which gives me 2 full days off to focus on pet care. This allows me to be flexible, attentive, and fully present for your pets’ needs, routines, and schedules. I can occasionally do every other Saturday as well with my full time job. For my personal animals at home I take pet-proofing my home to a new level (toxic plants, cords, small objects). I also make sure they are living in cleanliness regularly as we would like to! (tanks, cages, coops, litter boxes spotless) Lastly, I think spending quality time with them every day is the most important part in owning my pets.

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was in high school. I have friends and neighbors that rely on me to take care of their pets. I've also taken care of animals other then cats and dogs. I've done rabbits and Guinea pigs. I feed, give baths, give medications and walks. I can currently do this full time. If you ask me to do a 24 hour stay. I am available for that as well. I just need to know at least 4 days ahead of time. My SO travels for work. And I would need to fit my dog into that schedule. Just know I will have other pets to take care while staying at your home. And will not be there 24/7. I will be staying at your house on my breaks and overnight if requested. We do not have a fenced in backyard. But we do take him on several walks a day. Regardless of the weather. He is unbothered by it.

About: I've been taking care of my own pets since I was eight years old. Currently I take care of my bichon and bichon poodle in my home. I have pet sat Maine Coon cats, labrador retrievers, golden retrievers, basset hounds, beagles, and german shepherds. Additionally, I have experience that ranges from puppy care to senior care. I am more than happy to do a phone call or meet in person so we can get to know each other, or stop by to meet the pups before I stay with them :) I'm working part-time right now, so I will have plenty of time for your pets! I am super flexible and don't mind getting up early/leaving late. In your home, I am more than happy to accomodate the routines for your dog and the routines of your household. It's important to me to keep the dogs safe, utilizing baby gates, shutting doors/cabinets, and having fences as needed.

This is the the 4th or 5th time we’ve had them watch our girls and we always appreciate them so much. They always go above and beyond for us, even bringing in packages off the porch or cleaning up things our dogs messed up while we were away. We appreciate you both! Thank you!

Noah is the best and my dogs love him so much!! He dropped in for us again, totally last minute request, to feed and let them out and to give my epileptic dog her medication which is very time sensitive. He is so kind and caring towards them, gives them lots of love, and he is trustworthy and respectful entering our home when we aren’t there. We will happily request Noah every time we need someone to check in with our pups!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Westminster on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog 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 Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 5,380 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Westminster. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Westminster stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

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!

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 .

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Westminster with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Westminster. On Rover:

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 93% 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.

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.
