“Carole was an absolutely wonderful pet sitter! She stayed with our 1.5-year-old rescue puppy and our 11-year-old cat, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She was friendly, reliable, and consistently sent plenty of updates and photos, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. Carole spent quality time caring for and playing with our puppy, making sure his energy and needs were met, while also being respectful of both pets’ unique personalities and boundaries—especially important for our older cat. It was clear she truly cares about animals and takes the time to understand them individually. We would highly recommend Carole to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive pet sitter, and we”
“Claire was perfect! She sent photo updates everyday so we knew our furbabies were well taken care of & happy. She was so friendly & reliable. Truly cared about our dogs. And was very accommodating of their routine. We will definitely be calling on her again when we go out of town.”
About: I have grown up with animals and am comfortable caring for tiny kittens to giant dogs. I have experience in training animals and better yet giving them love and care. Just let me know a little bit about your pet and I will cater to best fit their needs whether they want to be lazy around the house or go for runs or just need some belly rubs I'm here to make them happy! I have a flexible schedule to walk and/or do house visits frequently. My schedule also allows me to give nearly constant care and attention if needed for your pets. I believe every pet should get shown as much love as possible and I'm here to help!
“Taylor was absolutely amazing! She took such great care of our pup Lewis and our home. She kept us updated with photos every day we were gone. Our pup Lewis loved spending time with Taylor, playing in the yard, going on walks, and snuggling. Taylor truly went above and beyond!”
“Janelle was an absolute blessing to our family! She took exceptional care of our three rambunctious mini dachshunds, giving us complete peace of mind so we could fully relax and enjoy our 30th anniversary trip to Mexico. Throughout our time away, she kept us updated with thoughtful communication and plenty of photos of our fur babies, which meant so much to us. When we returned home, we were amazed to find the house not only spotless but actually cleaner than when we left. She had even organized my disaster of a pantry—something I had been putting off for far too long! Her attention to detail and willingness to help in every way are truly remarkable. And as if that weren't enough, she welcomed us home with a delicious pasta dish and a loaf of homemade bread. That level of thoughtfulness and generosity is rare and speaks volumes about the kind of person she is. Janelle went far beyond anything we could have expected. She served our family with such kindness, care, and grace, and was truly the hands and feet of Jesus during a time when we needed it most. We are incredibly grateful for her and cannot recommend her highly enough. ❤️”
“We would highly recommend Sydney as your next pet sitter! Being new to the area it was such a relief to know that our pup was in good hands! Joey loved Sydney and so did we! Christa & Stephen”
“Rachel was fantastic. She arrived on time, showed our pups love and attention while she house sat, and went above and beyond keeping the house up while we was here. I would recommend her to anyone.”
“Cindy has been amazing with our puppy! This was her third week puppy sitting for us, and I couldn’t be happier with how well she takes care of him. She’s reliable, attentive, and clearly loves what she does. Every time I come home, my puppy is happy, well-exercised, and relaxed. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”
“Nora was amazing!! She followed my instructions and I can tell my pup had a great time. She was on time and such a kind person. We will definitely be booking with her again!”
“We are so grateful for Kelly! She stayed with our three dogs from November 7–9 and took such wonderful care of them. It’s not easy managing three personalities, but she gave each of them so much love and attention. She kept us updated with pictures and messages, which really put our minds at ease while we were away. When we got home, the dogs were happy, calm, and clearly had been well cared for — it was such a relief to know they were in such good hands. Kelly went above and beyond, and we can tell she truly loves what she does. We’ll definitely be calling her again the next time we go out of town or just need a drop-in!!”
“Adahy is awesome his communication skills are impeccable. I can’t wait to refer him to my neighbors and for him to be able to care for our pet us again. He is truly a gem and a superstar. Katie and Dusty loved having him around and couldn’t have asked for a better sitter.”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care of our dog and cat received while we were away. Serenidy went above and beyond, showering them with love and attention. Not only did they feel comfortable and loved, but our home was also in great hands!”
“Absolutely hands down the best care we could have asked for. The pups were treated like their own by Mai and Jonathan. Daily updates and photos of the dogs were sent. And they cleaned the house before they left. Which was absolutely not necessary but much appreciated. Highly recommend them, and will definitely use them in the future.”
“Melissa took amazing care of my dog and my home while I was out of town. I truly felt at ease as soon as I met her and the entire time I was away. My dog was happy, well-exercised, and clearly loved and cared for- which means everything to me as a pet owner. Melissa was responsible, attentive, and communicative- keeping me updated and making sure everything ran smoothly at the house as well. I returned to a very content pup and the house maybe better than I left it, lol. It’s such a relief to find someone trustworthy and genuinely caring. I would absolutely ask her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for dependable and compassionate pet and house care !”
“Jackie was great with our cat and our home while we were away. She was able to recognize signs of stress and adjust the care she provided to make sure our cat was happy and comfortable (he is typically on the skittish/nervous side as it is, so we wanted to make sure he was in good hands while out of town). She also sent us photos and updates while we were away. She was very kind and respectful. We will definitely use her again in the future!”
About: I've loved animals all of my life. One of my passions growing up was to be a veterinarian because animals need a loving voice to not only speak for them but to care for them as well. As your pet sitter I assure you that your pet will be left in joyous and gentle care. I am self employed with open availability. Most of my work consist of advanced scheduling so my availability to play and care for your pup is open! I have a fenced in yard with a friendly pup to keep your pet company. We also have plenty of dog toys to choose from and if your pet is a treat lover, we have those too! My home is also smoke friendly located in a community friendly subdivision.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since 2017! I have a chocolate lab of my own. I love animals and I have the patience to care for all type of breeds! My dog is friendly and gets along with cats and dogs. I figured on my down time I could take the time to care for your furry pets. I am available to watch your fury pets anytime after 3pm. Weekends I have an open availability. I generally flexible if I’m notified in advance. I have a fenced dog park in my complex as well as a bath station. I only have one large lab who is friendly and loving.

First day with Maddie watching Olive and they had a great time! Olive got all her snacks and treats and was so happy when I got home.

FAQs for House Sitting - Westward Ho
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Westward Ho on Rover is $52.17 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 3,645 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Westward Ho. 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 Westward Ho 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 Westward Ho 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 Westward Ho 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.

- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 98% 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.
