About: I’ve been a dog lover for as long as I can remember and have been caring for dogs since I was 7 years old! When I lived in Raleigh, I volunteered at the SPCA of Wake County for 7 years, where I walked, fed, played with, and cared for dogs of all kinds. This experience helped me become more knowledgeable about dog care and attentive to each dog’s individual needs. I’m also a proud dog mom to two pups of my own, an Australian Shepherd and a Black Labrador, who I love more than anything! Over the years, I’ve pet-sat for many families and neighbors, including spending two summers caring for a neighbor’s dog and home while they traveled overseas. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having someone around to keep them company, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, and care. I know how much our pets mean to us, and I’ll treat your furry family member like one of my own! I’m currently working part-time, so my schedule is pretty flexible! I’m available for morning walks, daytime visits, and pet sitting as needed. My weekends are also open, so if you’re planning a long weekend getaway or need someone to care for your pup while you’re away, I’d be happy to help! I live right by a trail and park, which means plenty of opportunities for walks, runs, and outdoor adventures! My fiancé and I live in a house with a big backyard, and we’re both huge dog lovers. Your pup will have plenty of space to play, lots of attention, and all the love they deserve while they’re with us!
About: I’ve always been someone that animals naturally warm up to because I’m calm, patient, attentive, and consistent. I understand that every pet has a different personality and comfort level, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. My background has taught me the importance of routines, observation, patience, and communication, which translates really well into caring for pets with different temperaments and needs. I’m comfortable with energetic dogs, shy pets, senior animals who need a gentler pace, and pets who may need extra reassurance or structure. I pay close attention to details like feeding schedules, medications, exercise needs, and behavior changes, and I’ll always keep you updated with photos and messages so you feel connected and reassured while your pet is in my care. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having calm company around, I’ll make sure they receive reliable, loving, and personalized care. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. I plan my schedule carefully so pets receive consistent attention, walks, feeding, playtime, bathroom breaks, and companionship without feeling rushed. I’m flexible with mornings, evenings, weekends, and check-ins throughout the day when needed. In both my home and a client’s home, I focus on creating a calm, clean, and secure environment. I carefully follow each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and any special instructions. I pay close attention to behavior and body language so I can quickly notice if something seems off or if a pet needs extra comfort or patience. Safety and trust are extremely important to me. I make sure doors, gates, leashes, and feeding areas are secure at all times, and I always keep pets supervised during walks, outdoor time, and interactions. I also provide regular updates, photos, and communication so owners feel reassured and connected while their pets are in my care.
About: I have personally taken care of dogs since the age of 17. I currently own one golden retriever and one golden doodle. I love to take my dogs for walks and to play at the dog park. I’m currently working part-time and am also an online graduate student during my practicum in the late afternoons. I can be flexible depending on your needs! I can easily crate your dog if needed and I can handle walking dogs very well. I can also bathe and make sure your pet is well fed and hydrated.
About: I lived with my 2 pit bulls throughout all of high school. They are a handful and there would be many nights were I would have to take care of them on my own and by doing this I was able to pick up everything you need to know about a dog. When they need to go to the bathroom, how to feed them, how to walk them, playing with them, and bathing them. I was able to pick up all of these skills along with many more from taking care of my dogs back home. There is nothing I haven’t seen with dogs and there’s not a dog I’ve met that I haven’t been able to take care of, I also love all dogs! Right now I’m only talking 2 summer classes online for the next couple of months so I will be very open and have time to take care and provide all the attention in the world to your dog(s). I have a collar and leash I can walk your dog out in and out of the house with. My backyard is not fenced but there is plenty of room for your dog to roam around while I have him leashed. I have a pretty big, open house that he can run around in and do have a crate if needed.
About: I have 4 years of experience caring for dogs of different sizes, breeds, and personalities. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, basic routines, and making sure pets get plenty of attention while their owners are away. I’m available for boarding on the weekends and sitting during the week after 3pm. If you need me outside of that time zone just contact me. I have a big yard for them to run around and have fun in. I follow the owners instructions closely and I make sure they have fresh food, water and plenty of attention
“Jade does such a wonderful job with our pups. She treats them as if they were her own. Having Jade watch our dogs really gives us piece of mind when we are away. We would definitely recommend her and will for sure keep booking her.”
“Lauren is very sweet and personable with my both my boys and is understanding of my needs as well. I have one love bug and one wild child and she handles them both perfectly by letting them out to play and potty but recognizes when they’re too hot and will rub bellies on the couch to keep them company. I will be using Lauren weekly from now on which is of great help with my hectic schedule. It’s been so comforting knowing my boys aren’t left home alone too long and that my home is in good hands while she’s here <3”

I couldn't be happier with how Nancy cared for my two pups! From the very beginning, she was incredibly sweet, loving, and attentive. She took the time to play with them and keep them active. My dogs were so happy, and I had total peace of mind while I was away. Nancy is a fantastic pet sitter, 100% recommended!
Katie was phenomenal!! We reached out to her at the last minute to come do a drop-in visit. She graciously agreed to help us out. She was great with our dogs. She was punctual and communicated extremely well. We would definitely recommend Katie to care for your four-legged babies.
Ashley was very communicative and timely! If she was running late she was sure to let us know well ahead of time. Always sent pictures and assured us things were in place, the door locked, and the pets happy! Even with plans changing she was flexible and awesome.
Genevieve did a wonderful job caring for our grandpup and pup for the day! She dropped in for a morning and afternoon visit while we were coming home from a trip out of town. She provided photos, updates and fresh water for both dogs. We really appreciate her care for the pups!!
Suzy has been absolutely wonderful with our fur babies, and we’ve been using her for over a year now. She truly knows them, their routines, and their personalities, and it shows in the way she cares for them. She’s always on time and sends thoughtful, detailed updates with photos after each visit, which gives us complete peace of mind. We trust her completely with our pets and couldn’t recommend her more highly!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Westport is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $28 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 5,229 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Westport. 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 Westport. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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.
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.
