“Jesse was absolutely amazing!!! She went above and beyond anything we could have expected. She took phenomenal care of our dogs and loved on them like they were her own. Her communication was impeccable. We will most definitely be repeat customers. If you’re looking to have peace of mind while you’re away, and if you’re looking for someone that you can trust to take care of your 4 legged babies, Jesse is your person!”

About: Hi! I’m Emily, and I’d love the opportunity to care for your pets as if they were my own. Whether you need drop-in visits, dog walking, or overnight pet sitting, my goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. During visits, I’m happy to provide fresh food and water, administer basic medications if needed, take dogs on walks, play with them, give plenty of affection, clean up after them, and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind. I’ve spent years caring for dogs and other pets for family, friends, and neighbors, and I’ve always had a love for animals. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, so I take the time to get to know them and provide care that’s tailored to their individual needs. Whether your pet is energetic and loves long walks or prefers quiet cuddles on the couch, I’m committed to making them feel happy and comfortable. I’m currently a full-time student at UNC Charlotte, but my schedule is flexible, allowing me to provide dependable pet care throughout the week, on weekends, and during many holidays and school breaks. I’m organized, responsible, and quick to communicate, so you’ll always know how your pet is doing while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust someone with a member of your family, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. I strive to provide reliable, compassionate care so you can travel or work with confidence, knowing your pet is in good hands. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family members! I am currently a student at UNC Charlotte but I have a flexible schedule. I would love to work with you to set a weekly schedule for walking your pup! Or even work with you to on deciding a walking/feeding schedule whenever you take a vacation! While I am not able to care for your pup in my own home, I understand the importance of respecting your space and ensuring that your pup is happy and healthy!
About: I absolutely love animals, and with over 30 years of experience living alongside pets, I naturally tune into their unique personalities, body language, and routines! As a high-energy runner and big walker, I’m the perfect match for keeping active pups happy and hitting their exercise goals, while my decades of sharing spaces with animals mean I’m equally great at giving sweet kitties the calm companion care and independent space they thrive on. Whether your pet is an energetic workout buddy or a quiet lounger, I bring tons of love, care, and reliable live-in companionship to make them feel safe, active, and completely pampered! I work part time from home on my own schedule, easy to fit in your fur baby’s early morning, mid day or late night needs! When staying at your place, I focus on keeping your pets exact routine, boundaries, and energy levels intact. As a runner and big walker, I love tailoring our days to hit your dog's exercise goals, whether that's a fun jog or a casual stroll around the neighborhood. Decades of living with canine and feline roommates mean I effortlessly adapt to their feeding schedules and unique quirks, giving them plenty of love and live-in companionship right where they’re most comfortable.
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!
“Brendan did two drop in visits for my two dogs and I have nothing but good things to say about our experience. He’s punctual, great communication, and follows all of my annoying instructions. He does well with both my senior dog and my younger anxious dog, leaving us with happy pups when we get home. We are booking him again for our week long vacation in August.”
“Jada took care of my 4 pets like they were her own. She went above and beyond to make sure they had company, and even stayed over a couple of nights a week so they could be loved up (of course as we agreed on). I 100% recommend her services! I will definitely be booking her again, I know I can trust not only my pets, but my home to her. Thanks Jada!”
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
About: I have worked with dogs since I was about 10 years old! My neighbor (in my previous neighborhood) taught me how to work with puppies, and I got to help train and keep her Schnauzer puppy named Greta! When my neighbor became terminally ill, we watched Greta for several months at my house before my neighbor passed away. My neighbor's husband let me still take care of Greta whenever he would go out of town or just to let us keep her in the house! A few years later, my family and I adopted our senior dog, Mikey! He was a 12-year-old Shetland Sheepdog with a lot of sass and energy! I loved Mikey to the utmost until he passed away at 16 years old. I have since moved to a new neighborhood and taken care of my neighbors' dogs (Coco (Miniature Schnauzer), Floofy (cat), Nala (a cat), Smokey (German Shepherd, Cleo (German Shepherd), and Aggie (Terrier)). I have also taken care of my dance teacher's dog, Gizmoe and my friend's cat (Tobi) while in college. I love dogs and cats, they are such sweet beings, and I would love to be able to take care of your fur baby! I currently have a princess job, but it is extremely flexible with when and where I work! I am able to schedule when I am unavailable for that job to be able to take care of a pet if needed! I go to church on Sunday mornings, so I try to keep Sundays to myself, but if needed I can do pet care on a Sunday! I am willing to negotiate and figure out availability for your animal's customized care! I follow instructions to a T! If there are specific things that your animal needs, I will make that my first priority when they are in my care! I am unable to bring animals into my home solely because of my mom requesting that I don't. I typically don't put the animals in their crate unless I have specific instructions to do so, I like to play with the animal and socialize with it, unless the owner tells me the animal doesn't require that. I am at your service, so if there is anything you need, please let me know! (:
About: I have been caring for animals of all kinds for as long as I can remember! I am a therapist with a therapy dog and three cats. Caring is in my nature! I work from home and my schedule is very flexible. I am available on weekdays and weekends. Available to pop over for a walk or feeding as well. I have a fenced in yard and a therapy dog and 3 cats - plenty of company. If you prefer I come to you! I have experience with pet sitting and dog training as well.
About: I’ve always loved caring for animals and have experience with a wide variety of pets. I currently have a cat, and over the years I’ve cared for cats, a hound dog, two Bernese Mountain Dogs, and a pug. I’ve also had experience caring for lizards and fish, so I’m comfortable with pets of all kinds and their unique needs. I’ve given both dogs and cats medications and always approach animals with a calm, patient, and attentive attitude. I know every pet has their own personality and routine, and I’m happy to take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away. I work Monday through Thursday, so weeknight evenings and weekends are when I’m most available. I work Monday through Thursday, so weeknight evenings and weekends are when I’m most available. I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine and make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and care. For daycare and boarding, I can provide a comfortable, relaxed environment where your pet can feel at home. I’m comfortable caring for pets both in their own homes and in mine. When visiting your home, I’ll keep your pet comfortable in their familiar surroundings and follow their usual routine as closely as possible. My home has a small yard and is in a neighborhood with a dog park, plus a larger park nearby for walks and extra exercise. I also have a cat who is very independent and tends to keep to himself. I want every pet in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and welcome, whether they’re staying with me or being cared for in their own home.
About: My daughter and I have been caring for pets since she was 6 years old. She is now 19 and we have one adorable fur baby, Gumbeaux Roux. We’ve had Guinea pigs, fish, a bird and we are now on our 2nd dog. We specialize in cuddles and belly rubs. My daughter is off to college now so Gumbeaux and I would love to get acquainted with your fur baby. We take turns caring for our precious baby. We have a routine that we adhere to strictly. We do walks before school/work, after school/work and before bed. On weekends, we keep the timing in order to remain consistent. Our home is definitely pet friendly. We only require crating when gone from the home for long periods of time, such as working hours. Outside of working hours, the baby is free to roam about the house. While my yard is not fenced in, I have a yard leash that can accommodate small dogs only.
“Sheyla is such a a sweetheart and was good to & with my baby, she even brought him a little gift. I had a last minute trip come up and she really came through for me. Would definitely recommend her. And I'm sure my little guy would be thrilled to see her again ✨”

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.

- 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.
