“Bessie was fantastic with Pip and Taz! She took great care of everything—from their feeding routine and litter box to spending time playing and hanging out with them. She was extremely communicative, sent plenty of photos and updates, and made it easy to feel confident that they were well cared for while I was away. I would absolutely recommend Bessie and will definitely use her again!”

“Uduak was wonderful! She was communicative with my husband and I, and very patient with my pup who is not comfortable with new people. Uduak followed instructions to a tee, and also used her discernment in caring for Mozzy (even cleaning up an accident he had without us requesting she do so). 10 out of 10 would recommend. We will definitely be using her services again in the future.”

About: I’m fairly new to pet care, but after spending 4 year as a care giver, I want to give my second passion a chance which is taking care of dogs and cats. Currently I’m working part-time, but I’m also looking to go full time in the near future. With that being said, I have a lot of time on my hands and fully committed to give your pups and cats unconditional love when needed! House Sitting I’m Available only on weekends. Drop-Ins and Walks I’m available from 2PM to 10PM on weekdays and weekends depending on my schedule! While for boarding I’m currently unable to I will always no matter what have a good ear and eye out for any animal at all times. For walks a leash will be on at all times. For both drop-ins and walks, I will always make sure that any animal is healthy and happy before doing any tasks in doors or outdoors.

About: What sets me apart is the genuine love I have for animals - it's not just a service I provide, it's something I truly care about. Friends and family have trusted me with their pets for years, which is how I got my start and built my experience in dog and cat sitting, walking, and feeding. What I'm most proud of is my patience and my ability to take the time to understand each pet as an individual. Every animal has their own personality, quirks, and comfort levels, and I make it a priority to learn those nuances so I can provide care that feels familiar and safe - not one-size-fits-all. I treat every pet like my own, and that's something their owners always feel. I currently work from home during the work week so I will have plenty of time to play with your animal! I need at least a day heads up but can be pretty flexible in providing care throughout the week. When caring for pets my top priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. For dog walking, I tailor each walk to the dog - whether that means a leisurely stroll for a senior pup or a more energetic outing for a high-energy breed. I always make sure they're safe, have a chance to explore, and return back home happy. Above all, I treat every pet with the same patience and attention I would give my own because I know how much they mean to their families.

About: I am a dog handler for work and have been doing this job for 3 years now. I grew up with big dogs and cats my whole life, and have so much love and compassion for all animals. I am currently working full time away from home. I work a Panama 12 schedule which is 12 hour shifts with every other weekend off rotating. My schedule is from 3am-4pm and sometimes 6am-2pm. I work on JBA base and can easily stop in to let your pup out if need be! I will sometimes have to leave the local area for work but will be notified in advance! My schedule can seem kinda crazy but I love to work! I currently live in a basement apartment with a huge secluded backyard that goes right to the edge of the woods. The back yard is very big but not fenced in, I have a long line that can be placed into the ground if you prefer your pup to be leashed. I have a dog room in my house with 2 couches, 2 large size dog kennels, plenty or different toys, slow feeders, massive water bowl/filtered water bowl, food storage containers along with a security camera which allows me to check in the pups while away.

About: I'm often called Dr. Dolittle or the dog whisperer because the animals usually take to me very well. I've had a pet most of my life. I have always loved animals. I grew up with dogs, cats, I have also had birds and fish. I will treat you pet just like my own. I will surely treat your fur baby as you wish but I've known to spoil them a little. I no longer have dogs of my own, but I do keep my grand dogs on occasion. I'm very flexible when it comes to pet care. I do travel on occasions. I work my schedule around pet caring. I live alone and I do have grown children that visit and are very comfortable with dogs. I will care for your pet as my own. However, if you have special needs or instructions I will follow your request. I will also keep notes of behavior so you will know if you pet is happy, unhappy or doing something out of their usual behavior.

About: I can adapt to a pet’s mood/temperament and do the upmost to remain mindful of all their needs! I grew up helping my dad raise and breed beagles and I have cared for pets over 20 years whether they were my own or owned by family. I joined in 2024 when I lived in Kansas City, MO but ended up having zero time! So now that I’m back in Maryland, I’m ready to assist pets and their owners! 🩷 I am in school full-time so am mostly available on Friday evenings and all day on Saturdays and Sundays. Very occasionally, I can be available for pet care weekday evenings. I do not board pets as one of my cats is very anxious so I will have to go to client’s home to pet sit. Nevertheless, I will triple check that everything is in place and doors are locked prior to leaving a client’s home. For walking, I will triple check that leashes/harnesses are secure and I do not listen to music so I can be 100% aware of my surroundings and the needs of furbabies.

About: Animals have always been a part of my life! I’ve had both dogs and cats for as long as I can remember and have helped care for family members’ pets when needed. My experience includes caring for puppies who need extra supervision, as well as a senior dog who required medication. These experiences have taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and paying attention to changes in a pet’s behavior and needs. I’m comfortable following your instructions for feeding, walks, potty breaks, medication, and daily routines within my experience. I understand that every pet is different, and I want to make sure yours receives attentive, loving care tailored to their needs. I work from home, which gives me flexibility to incorporate pet care into my daily routine. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting, and I enjoy having the opportunity to give pets extra attention and companionship throughout the day. I’m organized, dependable, and happy to work with your pet’s existing schedule to help them feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. 🐾 When caring for pets in their own home, my goal is to keep them comfortable, happy, and on their usual routine while their favorite humans are away. I follow your instructions for feeding, walks, potty breaks, medications, and any special care your pet needs. I believe in providing plenty of love, patience, attention, and companionship while respecting each pet’s unique personality. Whether that means playtime, a walk around the neighborhood, cuddles on the couch, or simply keeping them company, I’ll make sure they feel safe and cared for. I also love sending photo updates and messages so you can see how your fur baby is doing while you’re away. Your home, your pet’s routine, and your instructions will always be treated with care and respect. ❤️🐾

Alicia is very sweet and great with communication. When I was missing the poop bags she even offered to go out and purchase them for me. I ended up ordering them for her but just the fact of her offering was so sweet. I would highly recommend.

As always, Bessie is amazing! Our pup absolutely loves her! She’s great with communication, and you can tell just from the pictures she sends how happy he is during her check-ins. It gives us so much peace of mind knowing our fur baby is in such good hands. We never have to worry when Bessie is taking care of him, and that means everything to us. She’s our go-to pet sitter, and I truly can’t recommend her enough! ❤️🐾

Amoy took great care of my cat Penny while I was away for Thanksgiving break. When my return flight was unexpectedly cancelled, she was incredibly flexible with additional last-minute visits, which was a huge relief. Penny is a senior cat with acid reflux issues, and Amoy handled cleaning up after her when she had flare-ups. I also really appreciated that her daughter spent time playing with Penny. She gets lonely when she’s by herself, so the extra attention meant a lot.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Westphalia

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Westphalia is $26 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $39 per visit. 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 16,060 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Westphalia. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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.

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

  • 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 90% 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.

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.
