“We loved having Kaylee take care of our pets and our home. She communicated frequently and sent cute pictures. Looking forward to the next time we can have Kaylee watch our much loved pets!”
“Natalie was fantastic! She was very communicative and gave lots of updates and pictures. The pups warmed up to her so quickly, which made me feel so reassured! She clearly has a special connection with dogs and has great calming energy bc even my pup that usually takes a minute to warm up was choosing to sleep in the room with her on night one 🤍 I truly did not worry about my babies while away for a second because I was so sure Natalie was taking such good care of them! Will absolutely be booking with her again!”
“Cody went above and beyond caring for my rabbit. She sent many pictures twice a day during the drop in visits and it helped me feel at ease while being away on a 10 day trip. I sent her long instructions and she followed them perfectly. There are not many sitters I have trusted with my pets, but she genuinely cares for animals and is 100% reliable, safe, and respectful.”
About: I have pet sat cats and dogs (as well as various reptiles and birds) of all different ages. I have 4 cats and a snake of my own with one cat that takes daily medication. I have fostered cats and assisted in senior pet care (dogs and cats). I also trained 2 of my cats and when we had dogs, I also trained them. I am very experienced with administering medication and caring for pets of different ages! I am happy to take care of your other pets (reptiles, amphibians, birds, fish, and rodents) in addition to your cats and/or dogs:) Three of my cats are fed twice a day, and my elderly cat gets 4 small meals. I work from home so am able to give my cats plenty of attention. I am fairly flexible with my routine and can easily check in on your pet(s) and walk them 2-3 times a day except on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Those days I have to be physically at my job so I can only check on your pet(s) in the mornings before 11am and afternoons after 4pm. My cats are treated as equal family members and have a wide range of enrichment within our house: cat trees, toys, a screened in porch, and forage puzzles. Our elderly cat is on daily medication and is showered with compliments (she is a queen and she knows it!) . I spend time every day playing with all of my cats and snuggling them as much as they like. I am incredibly gentle with animals and respect their space. I try my best to maintain a clean, stress-free environment at home and in the homes I pet sit for. I know how stressful it can be for a pet to meet someone new, so I always move at their speed and respect their comfort. Your pet's safety and trust are a top priority, and I will treat them with the care I give my own cats.
“Missy was excellent! Sbort notice for her to come to our hotel in the French quarter and sit with our foster puppy so we could still enjoy a preplanned date night. Much appreciated and she did a great job”
“Jennifer was the absolute best! She was very thorough when we first met. Jennifer gave me updates daily with pictures. She took such great care of our Ruby, 100% will ask her to stay and see watch Ruby again. If you want someone who is very reliable, thorough, caring and devoted to your pet, book with Jennifer!”
“Janna watched my dog overnight and was great! He was very content when I arrived home and was even trying to lay in the guest bed later on that he stayed with her in. Janna left the house spotless! She has also walked my dog twice before and he always appears to be happy after her visits.”

About: Hi my name is Josh! I recently moved back to New Orleans from Scottsdale Arizona. Its definitely a different kind of heat here, but I prefer it! Something you may find that separates me from others is the energy I bring to the table. It will have your dogs wanting more time with me! I have been a dog owner for many years as well as many breeds, and have gotten to enjoy the lasting relationships you build with them. I love being outdoors whether its playing soccer or working in my garden, and both are even better with more animals around! I look forward to meeting you and your beloved animals and thank you in advance for choosing to have me as a part of their life! Currently have a lot of availability and flexibility to make your pets my priority! I love getting outdoors and taking dogs on walks and playing with cats providing them the enrichment they need! I’ve got two cats and a wonderful dog that could possibly keep your animals company but also have the kennels and rooms available to separate them! The animals are my top priority!
“Emily was the best pet-sitter we have ever had! She was caring, responsible, and had great communication. We received lots of pictures of our fur babies, and she checked in often, putting our minds at ease. We came home to very happy animals and our home was cleaner than how we left it. We will definitely be asking Emily to pet sit again!”
“William was terrific. He was very flexible with our times as they changed with family visiting. He was very good with our two retrievers - fed them, walked them and kept an eye on our crazy pup, who gets into everything and tears up our yard when not supervised. I would trust William to house sit our dogs again in an instant. I highly recommend him.”
About: I’ve been taking care of animals for most of my life. I love high energy animals and taking care of them. I grew up with a dog and cat I still have and care for and more recently I have been a volunteer at the Humane Society, I even ended up starting my own club of volunteers in high school. This role has equipped me with all sorts of animal care skills such as cleaning after them, bathing them, feeding them and administering medication, and making sure to provide lots of love and attention. I’ve always said that I’m not a dog or cat person when asked, but rather an animal person. I love animals and caring after them.

I have a fenced yard and two pets of my own that are both friendly so I am no stranger to spending time outdoors with animals or having playdates. I am more than happy to take pets to any appointments they may have and am able to administer medication if needed.

I do have my own dog at home so I prefer to not stay somewhere for a long, extended period of time. I am pretty flexible with that though so just ask me and I’ll let you know if it’s doable!

There is a 1 year old Shih Tzu/Yorkie mix now living here as well, under the care of someone else that’s not me, however she is very rambunctious with other dogs. I do not mind walking them around the neighborhood. In my family, we treat our dogs like they are humans and they are like our children!

Natalie was fantastic! She was very communicative and gave lots of updates and pictures. The pups warmed up to her so quickly, which made me feel so reassured! She clearly has a special connection with dogs and has great calming energy bc even my pup that usually takes a minute to warm up was choosing to sleep in the room with her on night one 🤍 I truly did not worry about my babies while away for a second because I was so sure Natalie was taking such good care of them! Will absolutely be booking with her again!
Aidan was an awesome pet sitter! He stayed in our home while we were away and took great care of our dog, Buddy. He followed all of our directions, sent us lots of pictures while we were away and kept the house clean, which is always a plus. We highly recommend Aidan for any of your pet sitting needs!
Maggie was wonderful. She arrived on early to meet the girls and they were instantly attached. She made it easier for me to leave knowing they were in good hands. Throughout the evening she kept me updated with text and pictures. The pups looked like they got plenty of snuggles and treats. When she left, the house was tidy and exactly like I left it. I highly recommend Maggie and look forward to having her watch my girls again.
I've been using Rover for years and Lindsey is one of the best sitters my husband and I have had! Warm, communicative, professional. Sent us photos, videos and updates daily. Took great care of our home and two cats. And even stayed an extra day when our flight home was delayed. Highly recommend!!
Just moved to the area and so lucky to find Jaedynn! She took great care of our 3 pups. We are so excited to have found someone so trustworthy and kind with our fur babies. She sent tons of photos and updates which made us feel like we were in great hands- and we definitely were. The dogs are already asking when you’re coming back! See you soon and thanks for taking such great care of the pups and the house!
Samantha did a lovely job watching our two boys for us while we were on vacation. She was very communicative and sent lots of pictures. The house was in great shape when we got back and the boys were very well cared for. I would highly recommend Samantha for any pet sitting needs!
Lucy is sooooo good with Jolly and Jasper. Jolly literally sleeps at her feet and gets so excited when she comes over to hang with him. You can tell she knows how to love and care for all animals through her caring personality and I will definitely booking my girl again!
Cody was so awesome with our two boys while we were away! They were super communicative and sent lots of updates/photos. Our two cats are very different personality-wise and Cody was amazing with both of them and catered to their individual needs. They also left our place super clean! 10/10 would recommend and we’ll definitely be booking again for our next trip!
Lily did a wonderful job with my senior, partially deaf, dog, and guinea pig. My dog can be challenging as he can be a bit standoffish, but she got him to warm up. Also, he only gets pain medication when necessary, so it was up to her observation and judgment. My guinea pig requires daily cage cleaning and feeding, in addition to handling my dog's needs.
High quality care!! Tamara helped us out last minute and was very communicative! She and went above and beyond! We got regular, detailed updates and she helped us when our trip had to be modified. We would absolutely recommend Tamara for in house pet care of the highest quality!
Emily was absolutely amazing! She arrived on time, sent photos, asked questions when she noticed Charlee wasn't going potty as usual and communicated consistently and with details! Having just moved to the area, I was nervous with a new sitter, but after this first experience with Emily, I will definitely choose her as my first choice for furbaby care, and hope that she is available! Thank you, Emily!! :))
Cole did a great job pet sitting for our two pups. One is very high energy, which was no trouble for Cole. The other is diabetic and needs insulin. Cole didn't have previous injection experience but was willing to learn and up to the task. We came home to two happy and healthy dogs and would definitely use Cole again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Westwego is $44 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $54 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.
As of October 2026, there are 774 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Westwego. 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 Westwego 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 Westwego 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 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!
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.
