About: Growing up, my nuclear family cared for roughly thirty cats, both indoor and outdoor. Naturally, part of my daily routine was feeding them all before getting on the school bus, keeping the litter boxes and surrounding areas tidy throughout the day, and of course providing AMPLE love to all. I have experience nursing abandoned kittens to health and maturity, as well as acclimating feral cats into the home. I am more than keen when it comes to feline behavior! (My mother used to "joke" that her four children should come together and open a vet clinic.) Today, my husband and I have a well-trained, 3 year old shepherd mix named Poet, whom we adopted at just 8 weeks old, and a 5 year old American bobtail kitty named Millie, who we also rescued. We both work from home and our animals are our absolute lives. Normal days for us include walks around the neighborhood, as well as trips to City Bark. We have a fenced in backyard for potty time, as well as sun bathing. Both as our animal have free reign of our home; they watch TV with us, answer email with us, snooze with us, cook with us, etc.! You can trust that your fur baby would be met with the same love, adoration, and care that we provide to our own. Both my husband and myself work from home and are able to provide near-constant care for your fur babies, whether that pertain to potty breaks or play time! We have a modest fenced in yard, as well as one dog and one cat of our own. Both are friendly with all species! We have ample space (spare bedrooms) to set up up a crate/kennel if desired.

About: I have more than 30 years of dog-sitting experience, and I have worked in the medical field for 32 years. Caring for others has always been a big part of who I am, and that same compassion, patience, and dedication extend to every fur baby entrusted to my care. When your baby is with me, they aren’t just a pet I’m watching they’re family! My goal is to make every dog feel safe, loved, comfortable, and never lonely while you’re away. A Safe, Loving Home Environment I live in a large home with a spacious, fully fenced, gated, and secured backyard where your baby can enjoy fresh air, playtime, and room to explore safely. I also have a dedicated puppy room to ensure your baby has a comfortable, secure space whenever needed. I am home most of the time. If I need to step out briefly and can safely bring your baby along, I will. If not, your baby will be safely settled in my designated puppy room. Your Baby’s Daily Routine Morning and evening walks every day Potty breaks every two hours or as needed Plenty of love, attention, playtime, and cuddles Fresh food and water according to your instructions Special attention to your dog’s individual routine and needs Updates and pictures to give you peace of mind Special Needs? Special Care! Every dog is unique, and I understand that some babies require extra attention, patience, medication assistance, or special routines. I will follow your instructions carefully and do everything within my capabilities to help your baby feel comfortable and cared for. With my medical background and First Aid and CPR certifications, safety and preparedness are priorities. I take my responsibility seriously and will always do my best to provide attentive, responsible care. I currently work out of my home and I’m available at all times so I can watch your fur babies. Your babies will absolutely love being at my house. If my schedule looks booked, please contact me anyway I sometimes can make availability. I do this for my special clients thank you. My house is very secure and cameras all around inside and out. I have a fence and backyard. My fur baby are very friendly in love other fur baby, but if need be, I will kennel my fur babies up until your fur baby feels comfortable or keep mine kennel until your baby is picked up.

“Adia was great with our two (2) fur boys. She’s very professional and communicated with us and sent pics with each visit, while we were out/town. Adia came once a day for 12 days and spent time with them, doing what they like doing, especially hanging on the front porch. She cleaned up the mess that they made from time-2-time and even did her best at wiping up our lil boy dog’s mark with urine (uhg🙄), when he did it! He knows better!! 🤦‍♀️ I would hire Adia again if I ever need another dog sitter in the future. Thank you . 🥰”

About: I am a huge animal lover and advocate for all fur babies. I currently own four pets ( two cats and two dogs). I volunteer at the shelter and give back to the community. I have pet sat for my friends and families dogs and only recently decided to do this as a side gig. If you were to ask any of my friends and family, one of the main things they would describe about me is my love and care for animals. I go above and beyond. Just last year I picked up four lost dogs and reunited them with their owners. I also helped to TNR the kitties in my neighborhood and now have 3 permanent porch kitties 😂. You will never have to question if your pets are in good hands. I am also familiar with medium to large dogs and reactive dogs. My two dogs are reactive and I have learned a lot over the last 8-9 years. I work from home and have a flexible schedule. I can take your dog for walks or potty breaks throughout the week and even more flexible during the weekends. If your pet would need to stay with me, I have a large fenced in yard and a guest bedroom where they can set up their own space away from my animals

About: I’ve cared for pets since I was 8 years old and have experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments—including my own, and dogs I’ve fostered. As a full-time teacher, I bring patience, calm energy, and structure to my care. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your fur baby, and I treat every pet like my own—with love, consistency, and a safe space to feel at home. I’m a full-time teacher and after-school tutor, so my availability is limited—but I’m happy to provide pet care on Saturdays only. I’m reliable, flexible on Saturdays, and love helping pups feel loved and secure while you’re away. I care for pets with patience, calm energy, and safety in mind. I can provide crate space if needed, and I keep a quiet, structured environment so your pup feels right at home. Whether your dog needs a relaxed space or gentle company, I’ll tailor care to their needs.

About: I used to work in a veterinarian hospital and also have always had pets of my own. Caring for animals has always been something I love. Transporting your animals to and from the island can be very difficult so I am more than happy to make accommodations whether that be in my home or yours. I work on our family farm from 7am to around 2pm. I am fully committed to making my schedule work around your animal’s schedules to provide the best care to them and keep them comfortable. I have a 15 acre farm that our dogs are allowed to free roam, if yours is not, kenneling is an option as well as GPS collars that are able to set perimeters.

Sarah was great!! This was the second time she watched our pets (1 dog, 2 cats and a fish). She checked in on them multiple times a day, sent us updates, and followed the detailed notes we left her. We felt like they were in such great hands that we could actually enjoy our trip without worrying about if they were getting the care we needed. We'll definitely book Sarah next time we travel!

Danielle was great! We booked her 24 hrs before an event we needed to attend when we realized our newly adopted pup had separation anxiety. She stayed in our home with both dogs for a couple hours while we were gone. She reassured us that everyone was calm and just fine, allowing us to relax and enjoy our evening. She has a calm energy about her and our dogs immediately loved her. We will definitely use her again and highly recommend Danielle!

We hired Doc for once daily check-in’s for meals and potty breaks while on vacation. Our friends were caring for them, but couldn’t stop in during work hours. Doc was incredibly patient, kind, and attentive with our pups and filled this gap! We have a mom and daughter pair of rescues who have trust issues, but Doc persisted to give them their space when needed and made sure they were comfortable anytime they entered the house. When we needed extra help at the last minute, Doc also did their best to help. Lastly, they always gave thorough updates to keep us informed about each visit. I would absolutely recommend their services for your pet’s needs!

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Westwego

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Westwego is $18 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $38 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 October 2026, there are 1,123 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Westwego. 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.

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 Westwego 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!

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 .

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.

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 .

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Westwego with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Westwego. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.

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.
