“As first-time clients with two energetic dogs, we couldn’t be happier with Caitlin. She is very reliable & kind and clearly an animal lover. Her communication was excellent providing us peace of mind while away. We are beyond thankful for such a positive experience and highly recommend her services!!”
“A+ experience! This was our second time using Heather, and once again she took wonderful care of our Rosie. We loved the updates and had complete peace of mind while we were away. We wouldn’t hesitate to book again. Highly recommend!”
“Extremely attentive care taker for our pets. Amanda manages our multiple pets like her own and keeps us up to date every day. Super respectful of property and completely trust her to stay with our “babies”.”
“Thank you so much for taking great care of my babies! They appreciate the time and of course the walks which made us miss our family less! Pippa and Otis says Brad can come back anytime!”
“Desiree did a great job taking care of our Zoye for us for the days we wore gone ! She sand us pictures and updates on Zoye! Zoye looks happy and healthy! Desiree did a great job! We are so thankful!”
“Elizabeth did a fantastic job watching our two senior pups! She was very communicative and sent updates every visit. She was incredibly patient with our more anxious dog and spent a lot of time making sure our pups were comfortable and safe. I can’t say enough how grateful and impressed we are!”
“Victory is wonderful! I’m always at ease knowing Victory’s at the house and love seeing all the great pictures of our dog and cats looking so happy. Victory is super responsible and responsive. Definitely recommend!”
“Seriously, THE BEST sitter that we’ve ever had! So sweet to our dogs as if they were her own! The pictures she sent were precious and well shot! Her little letters to us were creative and we can’t hush about her enough! She is a sitter above sitters and will be using her again!”
“Ethan was absolutely amazing with our anxious English Bulldog for overnight dog sitting! He took the time (and multiple visits) for George to become totally comfortable! He was excellent and very knowledgeable about dogs and their personality quirks! 10/10 will be booking him again!”
“Brendan was great! He offered to come early to get acquainted with our puppies and communicated really well throughout his time with them! Would definitely book again!”
“This is the 2nd time we used Daniel to watch Bear and all we can say is Daniel is the perfect pet/house sitter. Bear is very well adjusted when we come home which we could not say about another place we used before. Bear seems to be completely content having Daniel watch him and we could not be happier!”
“Lauren did a phenomenal job with our fur babies. From the time she replied to our request she took the time to listen and understand our challenges. Then she came over and took the time to familiarize herself with both of our babies ensuring there wouldn’t be any issues. Great job and great person.”
“We couldn’t be happier with Jaime! She was absolutely amazing. Our dogs, Luna and Norman, adored her from the start, and it was clear they were well-loved and well-cared for while we were away. We came home to a spotless house — she even picked up the dog poop in the yard and washed the sheets she used, which went above and beyond our expectations. We will definitely be using Jaime again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and caring sitter!”
“John has now taken care of our two bulldogs several times. Most recently we were away for 10 days. The dogs were well cared for and seemed content when we came home. John also brought in the mail and took care of a few things around the house. John is reliable and thoughtful. We will definitely ask him to care for our girls in the future.”
“Lisa is an amazing pet sitter. I refer to her as a Dog Whisperer. My two Service Dogs adore her. Also, our home was immaculate when we returned. You can hire her with complete confidence!!”
About: Throughout the years, I've cared for an array of different animals and other species, of my own. For the past 3 years, I've been blessed, to have established trusting relationships with pet parents, and their pooches, at the same time, doing what I love, taking care of animals, walking dogs, and pet sitting, (during that time), in lower Manhattan, before recently making the move to NC, thereafter, joining Rover, where I'd like to continue, what I believe to be, my true purpose in life. I take animal welfare extremely serious. I am attentive, and in tune, to the animals body language, and communication. Caring for animals, in this life, is my calling, and what I'm meant to do, in the name of all animals, in the Pet Care Industry. Previously, I was working part-time, (outside of petcare) to earn a paycheck, while establishing and building new relationships with pet parents, and their pooches, through the Rover Platform. Am I grateful, now I am able to make a full time commitment, on account of new clients, whom have afforded me the opportunity, in caring, for their fur babies. I Thank You. Always do I follow, ALL client given instructions, for their pooch. Using the knowledge of my own experience, and common sense, in unpredictable situations, that may arise.

Haleigh was amazing! She stayed at our house for 21 days!! Took excellent care of our dog and house. She sent pictures and updates throughout the trip. It was wonderful to not worry about our sweet puppy! I highly recommend her and will be using her again in the future
We had a great experience with Cat! She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about our pet like her own. We received regular updates and photos, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. Everything was well taken care of, and we came home to happy pets and a tidy space. Would absolutely book with Cat again and highly recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Westport on Rover is $57.72 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 2,937 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Westport. 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 Westport 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 Westport 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 Westport 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.

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.
