“We love Michele, but more importantly our dogs love her! She took such great care of them while we were away. Our house was well cared for too! She followed all our instructions, kept us informed, was great at communicating and sending updates etc. We couldn’t be happier and will definitely enlist her help again!”
About: I have been surrounded by all sorts of animals since I was a child! This including dogs, cats, and even reptiles. However I have been taking care of animals for over 5 years now when I began dog sitting! Since then, I then went on to work at a pet store, where I worked with all sorts of animals including dogs, cats, reptiles, hamsters, bunnies, ferrets, etc. At this store, I was responsible for bathing and grooming, cleaning, administering medication, and feeding! I thoroughly enjoy being surrounded by animals and hope to for the rest of my life! I’m currently working part time, so I will have plenty of time to taking care of your animals!!! I am a college student currently so visiting your animals will also serve as therapy for me as well. I have availability in the afternoons into the evenings and am willing to stay at your homes until later in the night, overnight, or even the stop in to provide a walk or a visit to keep your baby company! I am not capable of providing in home services as I am a college student, but in your home I will be able to feel comfortable in your home environment, ensuring that the pets also feel comfortable in their own space!
“Amy watched our girls last minute for a week vacation. We have two large dogs (55lb and 75lb) which she did an amazing job with. She sent us updates daily to let us know how they were doing. I would highly recommend!”
“Kaitlin is very kind and nice, did extra activity with our dogs and left our place cleaner than she found it! We would highly recommend and ask her to care for our 2 goldens again. Nellie and Maria would agree! Thank you Kaitlin Jeff and Jodi”
“Christine was so patient and kind with our dog. She would not come out of the crate and Christine patiently waited until she was ready. Christine provided us with updates and photos every day. She spent the night at our place which gave us peace of mind knowing our anxious dog had someone with her. I would recommend Christine. She was responsible and caring.”
“Hana is such an angel!! She was so willing to look after my pets on a short notice and stay in my home. She even brought treats for them and sent daily updates with pictures :) My pets were so loved during her stay and the house was in better condition than when I left. I will definitely be asking for her services in the future!”
“Brittany is so wonderful with our doggie. We don’t worry at all when Brittany stays. It’s a great feeling to know your doggie is being taken care of and having a great time.”
“Jennifer was amazing! Super communicative & so kind. We felt completely at ease leaving our pups with her as soon as we met her. Huck & Wyatt enjoyed their time with her so much that I don't think they even noticed we were gone ha! We enjoyed our time away even more knowing they were being so well cared for by her, thanks Jennifer!”
About: With four years of experience as a veterinary assistant, I provide knowledgeable, compassionate pet sitting you can trust. I understand how stressful boarding can be for both pets and their owners, so I focus on creating a calm, comfortable environment where your animals feel safe and loved. From energetic puppies to senior pets and those with special health needs, I have hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages and conditions. When you can’t be there, you can feel confident knowing your pet will be treated like family—with patience, attention, and genuine care. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine. Each day, I ensure pets are fed on schedule, receive any necessary medications, and get plenty of enrichment and one-on-one attention while I monitor their overall well-being. I focus on maintaining each pet’s normal routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I provide attention tailored to their personality and needs. For cats especially, I prioritize a calm, low-stimulation environment, respecting their boundaries while ensuring they feel safe and engaged. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I keep their space clean, follow all instructions closely, and provide daily updates so owners feel reassured and connected while they’re away.

FAQs for House Sitting - Westville
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 438 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Westville. 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 Westville 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 Westville 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 Westville 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
