“Amy was terrific! She communicated promptly and thoroughly throughout my time away, which gave me tremendous peace of mind. It's never easy leaving your pets in someone else's care, but Amy made the whole experience stress-free. She sent lots of pictures and updates, and it was obvious my animals were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. She even took the time to look after my roses, which was such a thoughtful touch. I highly recommend Amy to anyone looking for a reliable, caring pet sitter, and I would not hesitate to use her services again. Annette F.”
“Alyssa jumped in to watch my boys at the last minute and as always, goes above and beyond! She is always very communicative and tends to them as if they were hers. They boys love her and we appreciate all her kindness.”
About: Ever since I was a child I have either had my own pets or have sat for friends and family. I have the ultimate respect for all living creatures! You can rest assured that I will look after your fur-babies as if they were my own!!! ♥️♥️♥️ Tuesday through Saturday I do work during the day but I am free after 7pm or so… I do make my own schedule so I can definitely adjust it as needed. I will stay at your home so that you can be assured that your fur-baby will be comfortable in their own environment. All that I need is a comfy recliner or couch!
“My very young, but large and high-energy dog did exceedingly well with Connor. Having come into my life last October, I had not once left Chance in the care of anyone else. I was, of course, a bit nervous about how he would fare. He was rescued from a terrible situation and suffers from anxiety. I’ve worked hard to help Chance adjust, and I have made good progress. I had no reason to fear! Connor knew instinctively how to connect with Chance, and it is clear that I had the right person for this dog! I highly recommend Connor and thank him for taking a chance on Chance!”
About: I have been taking care of four dogs in my neighborhood for 8 years, walking, feeding, and loving each one! I was trusted to stay over night weekdays, weekends, and vacations. I am currently taking care of two beautiful pups a golden retriever and greyhound! I have a big big yard for pups and friendly neighbors. I am available all day seven days a week, I am able to take multiple dogs at once and will take care of each one. Toys!, treats, and walks. I do have an apartment, but it is very spacious and gated, doggie bags available on site and there are many parks near by. I also have reliable transportation and are willing to travel if necessary. Looking forward to taking on your lovable doggies
“We were visiting on vacation and wanted someone to sit with our senior pup while we explored the town a bit. Gracie was great. She helped us out on short notice and was very nice and took great care of Bruce allowing us to be able torelax and enjoy the day worry free knowing he was in good hands!”
About: Your pets aren't just animals. They're family, and that's exactly how I'll treat them! As a lifelong animal lover and experienced dog and cat mom, I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your four-legged family members. I've spent years caring for pets of all personalities, from little lap dogs to big, lovable pups, and I bring that same patience, affection, and attention to every pet in my care. I'm dependable, attentive, and genuinely love spending time with animals. Whether we're enjoying a walk, exploring all those exciting smells, or simply sharing some extra love and attention, my goal is to make sure your pet feels happy, comfortable, and cared for. I understand that every pet has their own personality, preferences, and routine, and I take pride in getting to know what makes each one special. When your pet is with me, they'll be treated with the same love and care I give my own.
“Meghan was wonderful. I connected with her in short notice and she went out of her way to make my elder queen feel cared for and even completed an extra favor for me. Very professional and she takes super cute pics and sends them while u travel.”

I keep to them on their same routine while also giving them a little extra care since you are away. That way they won't be too sad while you are gone.
“We were very happy with Rebecca. She showed us pictures and videos of my dogs. She took them for walks and played ball with them. She is very knowledgeable about dogs and gave us training tips We will definitely use Rebecca the next time we go away!”
“Rochelle was a fantastic pet sitter for my Lucy girl. I had a last minute request and she was able to help out on short notice. Lucy received plenty of walks and excellent care. I was also kept up to date on how Lucy was doing and received plenty of photos. 10/10 will reach out to Rochelle again.”
“Kotone was the perfect solution when we had to go out of town for a few nights! Our AmStaff loved them and they even won over our cats, who are often wary of strangers and stay hidden. Kotone sent some pictures from the visit and even our most skittish cat was enjoying pets :) They were very pleasant and respectful of our home. We will definitely keep Kotone in mind for future travels.”
“Lydia watched jam for our wedding and honeymoon! We received lots of photos and could tell jam was happy! Lydia even jumped into action and changed the batteries in our smoke detector when it started beeping due to a dead battery. We are very grateful jam had her!”
“Heather was absolutely amazing with our two pups, and with house sitting! She took excellent care of our Saint Bernard and Golden Retriever, making sure not only were they cared for, but loved! Lots of play time and tons of pics and vids sent our way so we knew they were happy and healthy! We came home to a spotless house. We would definitely recommend Heather to anyone looking for pet care and/or housesitting!”
“5/5 Stars! Highly Recommend! Xinwei is hands down one of the best pet sitters we have ever used! While we have worked with pet walkers in the past, Xinwei was our very first time trusting someone to stay overnight with our pups, and he completely blew us away. From start to finish, his attention to detail and thoughtful care exceeded all of our expectations. He took the time to truly understand our pups' routines, personalities, and specific needs, making sure every detail, from feeding and exercise to late night comfort, was followed to a T. Knowing our dogs were in such attentive, loving hands for their first overnight stay gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Beyond being wonderful with our pups, Xinwei was exceptionally respectful of our home. We returned to find everything immaculate, honestly, even better than we left it! Xinwei is genuinely kind, reliable, and deeply professional. We look forward to using him again and definitely will, and we highly recommend him to anyone looking for an exceptional, trustworthy sitter!”
“Mark was great! Easy to work with, took my pup on great walks, gave updates as needed. Our very anxious pup didn’t want him to leave when we got home. This was our first time using Rover so we were so nervous but Mark put our mind at ease. We would definitely use him again.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Westport Point is $78 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $61 and $88 per night. 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.

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 Point 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 Point 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 Point 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 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.
