“What a great experience! Thank you for taking such good care of the girls, it was reassuring to know that they had someone there especially with all of the fireworks! Would definitely book again !!”
“Payton was absolutely wonderful with Rocky! She kept me updated with pictures while I was away, took him on long walks, and left my house clean and tidy. She was also incredibly accommodating when my flight was delayed and stayed a little later so Rocky wouldn’t be alone. Most importantly, Rocky absolutely loved her! I felt completely comfortable knowing he was in such good hands. I would definitely recommend Payton and will absolutely book her again!”
About: I’ve grown up with pets! My mom has even owned 3 deer. She currently has 3 dogs and 2 cats. I’ve always loved animals and will do whatever it takes to make sure you and your pet are comfortable I currently work full time as a manger, however my hours are 8-4 and I usually get out earlier. I will be there throughout the night/ early mornings to do whatever is needed. My pets are fed 3 times a day and have open water to drink throughout the day. My mom has 14 acres and they free roam. However if I’m watching someone else’s pet that will not happen and they will be leashed.
About: I will care for any type of animal, whether it’s puppies or senior dogs or cats. I am also on the pre-vet track in college, along with participating in clubs like wildlife and vet. In college I don't get the opportunity to see many pets, at home I have a gecko I care for when I'm there, and over breaks I tend to pet sit family or family friends. So while pet care is not in my daily life I have experience caring for pets over many years. Caring for pets either in their home or mine I will listen to their very specific instructions because I know how picky some animals are.
About: Hi! I’ve spent years sitting and walking dogs for friends and family, so I definitely know every dog has their own personality and am happy to cater to them and take whatever time is needed to make them the most comfortable! Growing up there were always 3+ dogs in the house including puppies, seniors, and dogs with disabilities, so I’m equipped to handle all stages of life and different needs! I am patient, understanding, experienced, and ready to give your dog the most loving care! As a student with a part-time job my schedule is pretty flexible! For dogs, that means consistent walks, potty break, and feedings that match their normal schedule. For cats, regular feeding times, litter maintenance, and plenty of attention if they prefer it! Since my shifts change week to week, I will always confirm availability ahead of time and communicate about timing! Your pets safety is my top priority, in your home or mine! I live in an apartment, so I’m mindful about creating a secure, calm place, free of hazardous foods or items. I treat every pet in my care with the same level of attention I’d want for my own, so you can feel confident your dog or cat is in a safe and comfortable environment.
“Laurie was great with our dog. She was friendly and easy to work with and always made sure Jeter got to go outside and got his medicine as prescribed. We would definitely book Laudie again.”
About: I have taken care of pets since I was 11 years old. I have bathed, fed, walked, and played with dogs and cats alike. I love it a lot and animals just bring me joy. I currently work part time at another job so I’ll have time to help take care of your pets throughout the week and keep them company. I am able to move around a bunch to play with your pet! I can also cuddle and relax with them if that’s more their speed. I understand every pet is different and I can work with them however they need! I’ll also make sure to stay communicative, letting you know what’s going on and sending pictures of your fur baby’s.
About: I’ve been taking care of animals as long as I can remember. From taking care of my own pets to helping others out with their pets, I love providing the pet care an owner needs help with and a pet needs. Growing up, I lived across the street from my great aunt who bred and showed Great Danes. From a young age I remember sitting and watching out the front window for my aunt to come home so I could call her and ask if I could come help her with her Danes. When I was 10 years old, I started my own dog walking/pet sitting business and I have helped numerous families out with their pets while they were out on vacation or just needed help getting their pets outside for some exercise. After college, I worked at a local pet store and have gotten a lot of experience with dogs, cats, fish, guinea pigs, and birds. I also have helped care for horses over the years. I love hanging out with animals and spoiling them like I do with my own pets. I am comfortable taking care of multiple pets and fur babies of all sizes. I have a very flexible schedule. I am available for full time or part time work. I am currently a stay at home mom, so my availability is fairly free, but it varies from week to week. I am pretty flexible and willing to work with your schedule. I let my pets out multiple times a day and take them on walks. I love to take my pets out on hikes as well.
“Jennifer and John were such a blessing, on a seriously last minute booking! They were so responsive, made time in the less than 24 hour notice request to come over to meet our dogs. They were thorough in explaining the care they provide and very personable! As I was so nervous letting people I’d never met stay in our home they were reassuring and attentive to my multiple questions. While away, they sent many updates and pictures, again so reassuring to me! They also are so neat and tidy and took such good care of our home cleaning up after themselves, the dogs as well as washing the linens! Would absolutely recommend!! Thank you Jennifer and John!”
“Bella was absolutely fantastic! She had great communication throughout the entire week, took great care of my home, leaving it spotless when I got home, and took great care of my dog! I can’t recommend her enough and would definitely hire her again!”
“I feel so lucky that we found Hannah! She is caring, patient, and so loving with my puppy. I know he will always be safe and spoiled when he is with Hannah so we will definitely be booking with her again.”
About: I have grown up with all different types of pets since birth, mainly dogs & cats. I myself have 2 dogs and love being around all types of pets!! I am currently looking to care for pets at any time needed in my area and I’m fully devoted to put my time and care into each pet I am able to give care to ! I have grown up with pets, so I know how to properly care for them and understand their needs alongside the owners needs from me with making sure their pet is properly taken care of in all aspects!
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Westover
Marissa was absolutely wonderful with Rocky! She kept me updated throughout my entire trip with regular messages and pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that Rocky absolutely loved her and felt comfortable with her — he actually seems to be looking for her now that I’m home! Marissa was professional, communicative, dependable, and took great care of both Rocky and my home. I couldn’t have asked for a better dog and house sitter, and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their pets. We will definitely be booking Marissa again! ❤️
Payton was absolutely wonderful with Rocky! She kept me updated with pictures while I was away, took him on long walks, and left my house clean and tidy. She was also incredibly accommodating when my flight was delayed and stayed a little later so Rocky wouldn’t be alone. Most importantly, Rocky absolutely loved her! I felt completely comfortable knowing he was in such good hands. I would definitely recommend Payton and will absolutely book her again!
I have had Skyler stay my doggos a few times over the last few years, she has always been quick to reply and update, the girls love her, and I have never had a worry in the world while she was in charge. This last trip I was out of cell range for a good bit if the time, and unfortunately had one of my pups get sick. Skyler was able to get in touch with my mother and coordinate an emergency vet visit all before I got back to cell range. I cannot say enough about how great Skyler was in such a stressful situation!
Kristin was a great communicator and routinely sent photos and updates for our pets. Right before we left for vacation our refrigerator broke and was unable to be repaired for a week. Kristin was flexible with this and was sure to be home for the repair man. She left our home in the condition she found it. Would certainly book again!
Cody was awesome! He did some house sitting with my two dogs over a four day period. I never worried once after he came to meet and greet with our dogs and get acquainted before we left on a trip. He was flexible and willing to make an extra trip to let my dogs out one last time before we got home. Very appreciative of him!
Emma was absolutely amazing with Luka while we were away. She gave us daily pictures and updates which gave us so much peace of mind the entire trip. Our house was left exactly the way we left it, and it was obvious she truly cared about Luka and not just “checking in.” What meant the most was how she went the extra mile when Luka started having some anxiety with us being gone. Emma was patient, attentive, and made sure Luka felt comfortable and cared for. You can tell she genuinely loves animals. We would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone dependable and compassionate to care for their pets.
We couldn’t be happier with the care our three dogs received! From the moment we left, she kept us updated with regular messages and adorable photos that gave us total peace of mind. It was so clear she treated them not just as clients, but as her own — they were loved, comfortable, and happy the entire time. We will absolutely be booking again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter who truly goes above and beyond!
We had a last-minute dog sitter cancellation the literal evening before a weekend trip and were scrambling to find someone. Faith truly came through for us. She was responsive, easy to communicate with, and very flexible on short notice. She took great care of Remi and kept us updated with the cutest pictures throughout the weekend, which gave us real peace of mind. This was our first time booking with Faith, and it definitely won’t be the last. Thank you so much, Faith! Good luck with finals!
We have had Bessie watch our dog, Margo, several times and she has always done a phenomenal job. Bessie always takes care of Margo's fundamentals, and also make sure she has a great time with walks and play time. I think Margo seems genuinely happy when Bessie watches her. Sometimes, when using Rover, you know you come home and there's like a feeling that your dog was stressed. We have never had that feeling with Bessie. Always come home to a very happy dog!
We have used Alaska several times for our Saint Bernard Margo and Margo always seems to enjoy her visits! Alaska is friendly, communicative, and attentive. She lets us know if Margo's been having a good day, or if something was off. She's exactly what you want if you're looking for someone you can trust on Rover.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
<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 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 , 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 .
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 .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
