“Absolutely fabulous! She is an outstanding communicator, sent tons of pictures, and took great care of an old dog and a neurotic one. 10000% would recommend and use again! 💕”
“There’s nothing better than coming home to your dog after a long trip especially when he’s calm and relaxed because he was well taken care of. Juan allowed me this joy. It was the first time I’ve used him and Romeo took to him right away. Juan updated me daily and was responsive to messages. He also left my house in great condition. Thank you for taking care of my baby. We’ll be seeing you again!!”
“Fernanda was so helpful! We booked her last minute before a trip out of town for Memorial Day and she was able to accommodate us and stay at our own home with our two pups. She’s so responsive and gives updates every day. We are so glad to find someone who we can use in the future!”
“Tasha was wonderful to work with. She was very responsive and it was easy to coordinate with her. She sent daily updates, pictures and videos and was great with my pup. Will def use her again!”
“Korrey was amazing! He was very attentive and understand with my concerns regarding general care, as well as my dog’s previous health issues. He kept me up to date with everything they were doing from her behavior, her day-to-day routine, etc.! He was extremely charismatic and went the extra mile for my girl. I will definitely be booking with him again when I need services!”
“Eric was fantastic! He was super communicative throughout the stay and clearly took great care of our apartment. He left everything in its place and even put back on the calming YouTube dog video we'd left on for our dog before we left. He sent us lots of photos of our pup, and it was obvious he was in good hands the whole time.”
About: Your pet isn't just a job to me! Any animal I'm charged with looking after will be loved and cared for as if they were my own. I've lived with either dogs or cats in the house for my entire life, and at this point, I can't imagine living without a furry friend. Along with helping to take care of my family's pets growing up, I've also been pet sitting for around 9 years. I've dealt with a wide array of personalities and particularities, from old dogs that require help with mobility and pills wrapped in ham, to shy kitties that sometimes show their claws. I am an incredibly patient and attentive person, and am very in tune with emotional/behavioral changes in both people and animals. I understand that all animals are unique individuals with unique personalities and care requirements, and I'm ready and excited to learn how to take care of your pet with the attention and love they deserve! I'm currently a college student at VCU! I apologize for the confusing hours; I have to plan my Rover bookings around my classes. My availability on weekends fluctuates, but in general, these are the hours I'm free on weekdays: Mondays: 12 PM - 2:30 PM, 6 PM onwards Tuesdays: 2:30 PM onwards Wednesdays: 12 PM - 2:30 PM, 6 PM onwards Thursdays: 2:30 PM onwards Fridays: 12:30 PM onwards My petsitting style is very centered around understanding how your pet is different from other animals, and giving them personalized care that is actually engaging for them as an individual. I'm a very careful and perceptive person by nature, and will always do my best to use both my knowledge of your pet and my intuition to ensure their every need is met.
“Second time having Kylee in our home to sit for our pup and it went really well! Our dog was completely relaxed with her, and she’s usually anxious when we’re gone. Two thumbs up!”
“We had a great experience with Paris. She was responsive, sent great pictures of our pup, and took wonderful care of her while we were away for the weekend. We would absolutely use her again!”
“Renee took fantastic care of my dog while I was away and clearly loved on him totally! She sent great videos of their walking adventures and him playing. The house was in terrific condition when I got home. I look forward to booking with Renee again when I travel. I trust her to keep my fur child safe and happy. Thanks Renee!”
“Orianne was amazing with our girl Brandy. She took the time to work through Brandy’s anxiety and was so patient and understanding along the way. It’s hard to come across sitters that pay attention to every little detail, but Orianne is beyond detailed oriented. Will definitely be booking her again without hesitation.”
“Lili was a great companion to our pup Charlie and our spazzy cat Beanie while we were out of town for the weekend. We really appreciated her daily check-ins and photo updates, and both our boys instantly got along with her (which is kinda rare for our cat!). We’ll definitely be calling her again the next time we have to travel!”
“Emma was fantastic. She was super responsive and kept us updated on our dogs throughout our entire trip. She went above and beyond for our pups and 100% will be booking her again!”
“Kayly is AMAZING!!! She house sat for us and always communicated through texts and pics to let us know how our doggo was doing. She took Rizzo for walks around the neighborhood, played fetch with her, snuggled; all the things our dog loves :) She went above and beyond and we will absolutely be reaching out to Kayly again when we are away.”
“Aly watched our old doggo for 10 days in our home. I never had a sitter stay that long and we were going out of the country. Aly was really kind and caring with our pet and a great communicator with us. She even took him to the vet when she suspected he was unwell. I will definitely hire her again!”
“Ajia took amazing care of our dog Luna! She made sure to play with Luna and gave us tons of updates on our trip. It made us feel comfortable leaving our dog when she was in her care!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Westover
Elena was fantastic with our dog! She dog and house sat for us for a week while we were away. She was very thorough and provided timely updates for us. This was the longest we had been away from our dog in a long time and Elena made it easier for our pup. I would highly recommend Elena!
Alicia was amazing with our dogs and cats while we were away for 10 days. She took great care of their many needs—walks, medications, reassurance during storms—and left the house cleaner at the end of it all. Highly recommend for multi-pet households who need complete peace of mind!
I had a last minute work request, and Elizabeth came through at a short notice and was fantastic! She is very well versed with adjusting to puppies and different breeds, and my Juni was more than happy to have Elizabeth. She sent detailed updates- which I more than appreciated as it helped calm down my nerves throughout my time away. I am so pleased with how flexible and accommodating Elizabeth has been (especially as this is my first time using Rover) and would highly recommend her for your pets!
Look no further, Ava is the best sitter! My sweet Winston (mini labradoodle) suffers from generalized anxiety and has his quirks, but had the absolute best time with Ava. Ava was incredibly responsive, shared frequent updates & photos, and not only did she provide the absolutely best care for Winston, she kindly also watered my plants. Please, if you need to leave your furry family member behind on a trip, reach out to Ava!!!
Elizabeth was AMAZING!! I cannot say it enough. She put me at so much ease leaving my sweet senior 13 yr old pup which is hard to do because I know he requires some patience and grace but she gave him so much love and care and sent pictures and updates throughout just as promised. She was very respectful of our home and left it very tidy. Would hire again and again!!
Jori is truly the best dog sitter we could ask for! She is incredibly kind, communicative, and professional, and we always feel completely at ease knowing our dog is in her care. She goes above and beyond to make sure our dog feels loved, comfortable, and right at home. It’s clear that she genuinely cares for the animals she watches and treats them like family. We couldn’t recommend Jori more highly and are so grateful to have found such an amazing dog sitter!
Liliana was fantastic! She took such great care of Ellie. She was attentive, caring, and kept us updated throughout the stay with regular communication and photos. It was clear that Ellie was happy and well cared for. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and loving pet sitter, and we will definitely book with her again!

FAQs for House Sitting - Westover
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Westover on Rover is $57.04 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 10,217 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Westover. 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 Westover 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 Westover 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 Westover 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Westover. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
