About: I've grown up with pets and have since always come home to one. I started pet sitting in high school and continued to sit for the same and new families for years. I love all dogs and got my cat about two years ago. With my years of experience, I have cared for puppies up to senior dogs, cats, and some special needs animals. I love all animals and would be thrilled to care for yours! I am currently a part-time student in college and have a lot of time. I do have some schoolwork, but it's very light and I pretty much have an open week. I also have weekends free, so I am very flexible and can work whenever. Your pet's wellbeing, safety, and comfort is my top priority. I am an avid rule-follower and love thorough instructions to be able to give your pet the best care they need and deserve. I have my own cat and have trusted fellow Rover sitters and would love to be able to do the same. I believe in leaving a place the same or better than it was found, and would do the same when visiting your home.
“Alexandria was a stand-out from the first interaction. I knew she was paying close attention to instructionsand concerns, because she would repeat back to me her understanding of why it was important to mention. She also offered assurances on points that I might not have thought of. I have two dogs, and I was worried about her getting pulled down stairs or losing control, because they are strong. I was grateful that she offered a solution to that right away, suggesting she be accompanied by her friend. Without hesitation, she supplied the friend's ID. Terrifically helpful was receiving a text message from her the day of our big night out while we were busy with other things, so it was a good reminder and a timely one that she was planning to be punctual and would let us know when she was 15 minutes out. It was additionally helpful that she was so flexible with changing the start and end time. We offered her the option of leaving when we were delayed in returning, but she insisted it was no problem to stick around, and she and her friend gave a thorough report of snacks as directed and digestive outcomes on walks. We're still enjoying the pictures and videos of our dogs' time together with Alexandria. Hope we have opportunity to book again.”
“Ann took wonderful care of our older dog and all his specific needs while we were away — which gave us great peace of mind! We all look forward to having Ann come and stay again!♥️🐾”
“Destiny is the BEST sitter we have ever used!! She provides excellent communication and tons of picture updates which helps keep our mind at ease while we are away. We always come home to a clean home and happy pets. We highly recommend her”
About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover who treats every animal like my own. Whether it’s a walk around the block, playtime in the yard, or cozy cuddles, I make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away I work in education, so I am available in the late afternoons and evenings during the week. My weekend availability is generally very open. :) When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat each animal like they’re my own: with love, patience, and respect. I take time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and needs, whether that means sticking to specific feeding times, giving medication, going for long walks, or offering extra cuddles and playtime. I also make sure their environment stays clean and comfortable, and I’m happy to send updates and photos to keep you at ease while you’re away. My goal is always to provide consistency and care so your pet feels safe and happy in their familiar surroundings.
“Mary was very friendly and great with the dogs. They were very comfortable with her. When I got home, the apartment was clean and the dogs were not stressed at all. She also was great with sending me pics and updates!”
About: My name is Kristen and I am a client of Rover too. I have a male Brussels Griffon puppy named Jude. I hope to offer your dog a place to stay for the weekend or a visit at their home for scratches and cuddles. Jude and I would be delighted to come hang with your pup for a few hours or have your dog stay over here for the day or night. We have a huge backyard and a quiet neighborhood to go on walks in. We would love to share our adventures with you while you are away with fun pictures and updates. We are ready to provide care to our neighborhood friends and can't wait to meet new furry friends that are ready for care and cuddles.
“Emily was great! I had booked last minute and she was very accommodating. My dog is a senior and she took such good care of her, made her comfortable in her home and gave her plenty of attention and walks. Will book again in the future.”
“Maria was OUTSTANDING!! She was an excellent communicator, great with our pets, friendly, professional, and went well out of her way to go above and beyond with our home and pets. She made us feel very comfortable to be away for so long knowing she was treating our home and pets like her own! We cannot believe how thoughtful and kind she was to us. Thank you!”
About: I’ve taken care of several dogs throughout my life, and cats as well. I currently have a 3 year old male GSD/Pitbull mix named Mac! I’m comfortable walking, feeding, playing with, and bathing depending on the animal. I LOVE all animals, and have a huge soft spot for dogs and horses! I’m currently working part time, living with my fiancée, so my main focus right now is our dog Mac. I try to take him for walks daily, and to our neighborhood dog park when we can! We currently live in a townhouse/apartment community, with a nice sidewalk to go on walks, and a private dog park for residents only. With clients, I’m happy to take their pets for walks, or to dog parks if they’re familiar and owners are comfortable with it. If that’s not something the owners are open to, I’m happy to play with and entertain pets inside with toys!
“Diane is always the best with our senior, snuggly dog! She is our first sitter we contact when we are headed out of town. Diane consistently communicates, makes sure our dog is well cared for, and has gotten to know her silly personality. We highly recommend Diane!”
About: Hi, I'm John, I'm a lifelong dog lover and have had the pleasure of having had large dogs as well as small dogs like my 13 year old Chihuahua Beans. I live in a single family home with a fenced in backyard perfect for games of fetch or outdoor exercise and have a nice nearby park where we like to walk. I have a smaller home so prefer to care for smaller dogs under 40 pounds and watch one dog at a time or 2 from the same owner. For walks or pet/sitting house sitting I can accomodate any size dogs. Dogs have full range of the house including couch and beds. I do work out of the home so dogs are home alone typically from 8am to 12 for lunch and then from 1pm to 4pm though my partner is often home during the day. This also means drop offs and pickups typically work best after 4:30PM I'm familiar and comfortable with dogs big and small as well as dogs with health issues, my Bulldog had the typical allergies and health problems associated with bulldogs and my Beans has a collapsing trachea so comfortable and experienced with dogs with challenges. Look forward to meeting you and your pup. I love hanging with my dog, bring him everywhere I go whenever possible, love having him be part of my day. Like being active, taking my dog to the park or the beach or just playing in the backyard. I do work out of the home but come home for lunch and walks so a typical weekday I'm out of the house at 8am, back home for lunch at 12 and then back to work until 4 but dogs get taken out and walked every 4 hours. My partner is often home during the day during the workweek as well. I have a smaller home so prefer to care for dogs under 40 pounds in my home, though any size dog is fine for walks or staying by you. Because of this I only watch one dog at a time or two dogs from the same owner, again I can accommodate any number of dogs for walks or staying by you. Dogs have the run of the house including couches and beds if they choose.
About: I’ve taken care of up to 4 dogs at a time. I have 6 years of experience. I have taken care of senior dogs, aggressive dogs, and easy dogs. I have always been a dog person and love taking care of them! I will make sure your animals feel loved and safe when you are away. I am currently taking a break from a full time job to take care of my mom who recently had a minor stroke. My schedule is pretty open, and I will be able to work around taking care of her. I have a fenced yard for my dog. He is aggressive and pulls on walks but we are working on it and I am capable of making sure he still gets out for walks, I am in shape so this makes it possible for me to do. As far as in my clients home, I make sure to meet with them first before showing up to dog sit. I find this to be helpful. Of course this isn’t required but I am open to that. My main goal is to make sure the pets are feeling safe and happy when their owners are away. I take safety very seriously. Examples include making sure they don’t get into anything, and that they are secured both on walks and outside in the yard. I have never had a situation with dogs having to go to vet or getting out.

Katelyn was spectacular!!! My elderly dog was well cared for and took to Katelyn immediately. Katelyn was very professional and her daily updates were great. She took exceptional care of my house. This was a last minute booking and Katelyn will be my #1 go to pet sitter in the future.
Lauren was fantastic. We had not used her before but were impressed at the meet and greet. Some may find it a bit different that her Mom helped out some, but don’t - it was really getting a two for one deal, in a great way. Unfortunately, our dog took a turn for the worse health wise while we were away for 11 days. Lauren and her Mom went above and beyond and reached out to our neighbors, who were there in case of emergency, at just the right time. Didn’t panic, but reached out when the situation dictated it, then worked with them the last few days until we got home. Her texts and pictures were informative and let us know our Piper was well cared for. If you are looking for a conscientious person to take care of your pet, I highly recommend Lauren.
I am a very, very nervous dog mom and I have never used Rover before - I couldn't have asked for a better experience! Alli was thoughtful, conscientious, and so caring to my pups. She gave my senior dog medicine daily, sent photos to reassure me, and communicated about everything very well. My house was also in very good hands. I highly recommend Alli, and will absolutely book her again!
We are SO thankful for Loraine. She has watched our dogs a couple of times now and this particular time, our one dog had an accident the night before our trip. I called Loraine and explained how she would have to now administer medication and keep a cone on my dog while we were gone. It felt like a big ask and we almost considered canceling our trip. But Loraine came through and took care of our pup just as good as we would have! She is so kind, calm, and thoughtful with them. She sends us updates and pictures and I am so thankful for her. Our pups were in good hands. Would book again!
Hannah was absolutely incredible! She watched my dog for me for 3 days/nights after my planned dog sitter fell through. She saved the day! Hannah is responsive, responsible, and reliable! She was great about working with my reactive dog and made us all feel super comfortable about it. Hannah even dealt with some maintenance folks who came into the apartment! She gave my dog so much love and attention and sent lots of pictures and messages through the weekend, which put me at ease. My dog absolutely adores her and we will certainly book Hannah again. Hannah rocks!!!
So thankful for Jocelyn! She stayed at our house for a weekend with our dog and two cats for a last-minute booking. She kept us updated the whole time and our pets and home were perfect when we got back. Kind, thoughtful and responsible. 100% would book again.
Natasha was great! We were able to book her last minute and she did such a great job with Elmer, meeting all of his needs and giving him exceptional care while we were gone. She was easy to communicate with and super reliable. Will definitely be using her again!
I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter. Jana kept me updated with messages and photos, so I never had to worry or wonder how things were going. It was such a relief knowing my dog was not just being “watched,” but truly cared for, played with, and treated like family. My puppy was happy, relaxed, and clearly well taken care of. It’s obvious Jana pays attention to details, follow instructions, and genuinely care about each pet’s personality and needs. I trust her completely and will 100% be booking again. If you’re looking for someone reliable, loving, and responsible to care for your dog, this is the person you want. Absolute gem!

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 Westmont 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 Westmont 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Westmont 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!

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 .

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.
