“We truly could not ask for a better sitter. She cares for our dogs as if they were her own babies, and that kind of love and attention is priceless. We always come home to happy, well-cared-for pups and a home that is just as clean and tidy as we left it. One of our favorite things is how many updates and photos she sends while we’re away—it brings us so much peace of mind (and joy!) to see how loved and comfortable our dogs are. She is kind, respectful, reliable, and goes above and beyond every single time. We would recommend her to anyone without hesitation!”
“Desiree was super communicative and did a great job with our cat and senior dog! She sent pictures and updates throughout the weekend so we knew that they were comfortable.”
“Lauren is fantastic. My kitty sitter fell through at the last moment, so I was pretty stuck. Lauren responded quickly, stopped by for a visit on the same day, and kept me informed about Scuba during my entire trip. Every picture she shared reassured me that he was content and well taken care of, and he seemed to warm up to Lauren quickly. I'll definitely hire her again!”
“This was our 2nd time having Libby stay and we are so happy with her services! Best dog sitter ever! She is reliable, trustworthy and is a great communicator. Thank you Libby for the freedom you give us to travel!”
About: I love animals and have always loved taking care of them. I have had 3 cats in my life. All of which had different needs, like administering medication and after surgery care. One of my first jobs was regularly walking an American Bulldog, Elvis. He was the sweetest! I’ve dog sat multiple times for a variety of breeds, from golden doodles to bull terriers. I work from home, so my schedule is pretty flexible. I am able to make visits earlier in the morning, during lunch hours, and late afternoon. I plan to keep in communication with you in order to maintain safety & trust while I care for your pets! Maintaining a safe environment is important to me, I plan to make sure my care mimics yours to reduce stress on you pets!
About: I love all types of animals, and I always have. I have been taking care of my dogs as much as I can for the past three years. I have taken care of my family members and friends' dogs for a while. They think of me first because I am caring, considerate, and I can't say no to a cute, fluffy face. I am good at controlling behavior on walks, food-motivated tasks, and getting them to trust me. I hope you will trust me with your pets. I just got done with my 2nd year of college, so I will have plenty of time now to hang out with your animals! I am available any time of day for however long you need me to keep your pet happy. I have a decent-sized yard with a fence, I will keep a close eye on them the whole time, I can crate them if necessary, and I have reliable transportation at any time of day.
About: I’ve had cats and dogs since I was 5. Golden retriever, beagle and many, many kitties! I have also fostered cats! I’ve had bunnies as well. I love to pet sit. I’m currently a college senior with a very open schedule. I work a part time job at a bakery Tues Thurs and Saturday! I only have classes during the mornings and I’m very flexible. My priority is making your baby feel safe and comfortable! Whatever that takes I will do to insure your pet is happy. Happy to take advice or instruction from owners prior to the sit!
About: Your pet won't just be supervised—they will be completely folded into my daily routine, receiving constant affection, belly rubs, and inclusion in family life. My experience with animals isn't just a job; it’s a lifelong calling. For over a decade, I have cared for a diverse family of pets, mastering the art of reading their subtle body language and anticipating their needs. I understand that every dog has a unique personality—from the high-energy pup who needs an exhausting game of fetch to the quiet senior who wants a gentle hand on their head. My hands-on experience has taught me how to establish instant trust, calm anxious minds, and provide a nurturing environment where pets don't just stay, but truly thrive. As a work-from-home entrepreneur, my schedule is entirely my own—which means your pet is never an afterthought, but a central part of my day. Because I control my hours, I don’t leave for a 9-to-5. Instead, my workspace is shared with your pet, offering them a constant, comforting human presence that drastically reduces separation anxiety. My daily routine is intentionally built around natural breaks that perfectly mirror a dog's need for stimulation, affection, and rest. I transform my home into a peaceful, tail-wagging sanctuary where your pet is treated as an honored family member, not a guest. Because I work from home, my environment is calm, highly predictable, and entirely secure.
“Chris was wonderful! She took excellent care of our dog Bailey and even brought her dog over to play. Her daily pictures and updates were very welcome and gave us a sense of well-being while we were away. We'll definitely use her services again.”
“Laura took care of our fur babies (dog and cat) like they were her own! She was extra attentive and extremely communicative especially related to some potential health issues with one of our pets. She stayed at our house and left it in excellent condition!”
“Kai and Devon were amazing pet sitters! They took very good care of our dog and communicated well. This was our first time using Rover for pet sitting and Kai and Devon were great. They sent pictures as well. I wouldn’t hesitate to book them again!”
“Yujie is so kind and caring, and took such great care of our animals and our house while we were away. Our dog can be anxious with new people, but she felt comfortable with Yujie right away and was also so calm and happy when we returned from our trip as well! So glad to have found Yujie and we look forward to booking her again :)”
“Marcelle was wonderful! She took great care of our dog and had great communication during visits. We will definitely use her again and are so glad to have found her! Don't hesitate to book her!”
“Professional, caring, responsible, reliable- Avery hit all marks! She provided outstanding care for Leo in our home (which is a big ask😉). Avery attended to every detail and kept us posted with notes and photos. We truly had a worry free trip knowing that Leo was in Avery’s capable care. We highly recommend Avery! Thank you Avery!”
About: I know how important it is for pets to feel safe and relaxed when they’re away from home, so I focus on creating a calm, comfortable, and warm environment tailored to each dog’s personality and routine. I’m especially patient with shy, anxious, or first-time-away pups, giving them gentle reassurance, consistency, and extra attention to help them settle in. I prioritize communication with pet parents, sharing updates and photos so you always feel connected and at ease. Whether your dog loves playtime, snuggles, or quiet company, I’m committed to making their stay stress-free, happy, and filled with care. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine because I work from home and can be present with your pup throughout the day. I’m able to step away at any time for walks, potty breaks, play, or cuddles, so pets get consistent attention and companionship — not long stretches alone. I build my day around their needs, making sure they feel supported, relaxed, and loved from morning to night. I have a fully fenced-in yard, giving pups a safe space to explore, play, and enjoy fresh air throughout the day. I stay attentive to each pet’s comfort level and personality, whether they need active play, quiet cuddles, or time to settle in at their own pace. My goal is to make their experience relaxed, happy, and as close to home as possible.
“Brady was so good to our doggy. He kept us updated, sent pictures and walking frequently. We trust him so much and will book him any other time we need someone to watch our dog.”
About: I have been taking care of and surrounded by dogs my whole life! I grew up with Bernese Mountain Dogs and Golden Retrievers, and we currently have an English Bulldog. I have extensive experience with dog walking, general pet sitting and overnight stays. I have worked with both puppies and senior dogs, some of which have required special care. I never hesitate to ask questions and value good communication with owners! I can’t wait to meet your fur babies! I’m currently a university student in my last semester and babysit part-time, so I will have plenty of time to take care of your babies. I can do scheduled care, as well as last-minute visits/care depending on my schedule. My weekends are generally free all day as well. I can do overnights any day of the week, as my classes are later! I am flexible:) I ensure I know the owners rules and routine for the pups, avoiding letting them roam anywhere they’re not supposed to, be on furniture they’re not supposed to, allowed to go on walks, etc. I make sure I know how much food the dogs get, when, where extra food may be, etc. Cleaning up after myself and the pups and treating the space as I would want my space to be treated! Again, if I am unsure about something, I do NOT hesitate to ask a question.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Westtown
Annie was great with our 13 yr Eskie mutt dog who is very slow to warm up to strangers. We had an intro, a drop in and a full day session over a 2 week time period. Her calm and steady approach soon won him over. He was walking on leash with her and accepting pets very quickly! She is punctual and great with confirming appointments and communication. We received updates and photos of our dog during the sitting. Great experience, would hire again!
Angela is hands-down the best pet sitter we have ever had! She stayed at our house for 9 days while we were out of the country, and we were able to fully relax knowing our dog, Bear, was in the absolute best hands. She truly treated Bear like a member of her own family. To top it all off, we came home to the cutest note and beautiful flowers. Angela is amazing, professional, and genuinely cares. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for top-tier pet care!
I learned about Richardo through a trusted source where he came highly recommended (rescue organization I foster for), and have used him twice for several days each time. The bottom line is that he is fantastic with dogs and I highly recommend him!! And I am picky! My dogs need to be with someone I like and trust. I have a somewhat older German Shepard rescue who is fearful of some people and things. My second dog is a young I’d say “spirited” Golden Retriever. He gets both of them. My German Shepard likes Richardo and warmed up to him immediately, which means everything. My dogs were clearly happy while I was gone and I could tell also when I came home. For example, this past week the wild fires in Canada affected the area so they had to be inside. He kept them busy with toys, etc. He communicates well too, which is important to all of us. I highly recommend Richardo!
She did an excellent job. The house was clean and everything was put back properly. I think Doc had a good time. He seemed happy to see us, but he was doing well. We really appreciate the job that she did. We were away for two weeks and had a very nice vacation. She sent us pictures. We will definitely use her again.
Lila was great! She stayed at our house with our 3 dogs for about a week while we were away. The dogs were well taken care of. We have an elderly dog with mobility issues and Lila was able to help her get up. She left the house very tidy and even offered to do drop in visits after our flight was unexpectedly cancelled. Will use again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Westtown is $78 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $50 and $94 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 Westtown 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 Westtown 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 Westtown 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Westtown. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% 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.
