About: I have had animals my whole life and love animals of all varieties/dispositions. I also have over 4 years of experience working in an animal shelter. My experience is primarily with dogs/cats but I have cared for guinea pigs/reptiles before, as well. I currently own a cat named Elle and I consider her to be my daughter. She gets endless attention from me and I'll provide that same attention to your pet(s) while I'm watching them. My schedule is currently very flexible so I should be able to make most times work. Any day of the week works for me, as well. I am a lax cat dad and let her do what she wants to, basically. Even if my furniture doesn't like it. She does pretty much everything with me, including cooking. I make sure she has plenty of enrichment in the house, as well. I'm happy to have a similar approach with your pet(s). If you prefer a more strict environment, please just let me know what that entails/what's off limits and I'll happily accommodate.
“Vanessa was wonderful with our cat. We haven't felt comfortable leaving him in a while but we felt comfortable with Vanessa and we were able to take a short trip, knowing he was in good hands. Her communication was great and I would definitely use her again. 🐾”
“Joann is wonderful. I was nervous because this was our first time with her. She quickly made me confident my pets would thrive with her. I will absolutely use Joann going forward and cross my fingers my pets don’t choose to move in with her.”
About: Caring for animals is one of my greatest joys. I've cared for everything from energetic vizslas and sheepdogs to strong willed Akitas, so I am comfortable with all kinds of personalities and temperaments. Whether its long walks, playtime, cuddles or sticking to your pet's routine, I'll care for them with the same love and attention I would my own. You can count on me to be dependable, communicative and to send photos and updates, so you will know your pet is happy and safe while you're away. I recently retired from my full time job and have plenty of time to devote to dog walks and pet visits. My schedule is flexible and we should be able to work something out. I would follow the pets routine as instructed by the owner and be sure to keep it as stress free for the pet as possible. I make sure the pet receives plenty of attention and affection.
“Monica provided great care for my cat like she always does. she provided pictures and videos of him and also gave updates as she did the drop ins. Monica administered his insulin well and with care! My cat loves her!”
About: I am an attorney with a love for animals. My two cats are my entire world and I know how it important it is that they receive the best care possible. I grew up around dogs and cats but also had hamsters, tarantulas, turtles, fish, and frogs. I am a lover of anything furry, feathered, or scalely!! I do work a traditional 8–5 job Monday through Friday, so I’m not available for daytime care during those hours on weekdays. However, I’m available before and after work, as well as on weekends, and I’ll always do my best to work with your schedule! Your pets’ safety, happiness, and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own and make sure they get plenty of attention, love, and care while you’re away.
About: I am grateful that I got to grow up around animals and build special bonds with them! Ever since I was little, I cared for my own pets, my family’s and friend’s. I am detail oriented and care about you and your pet! I work full time during the week and I am off later in the evenings. My weekends are open to care for your furry friends! It is my top priority to create consistency and safety for my own cat, and that is still just as important when it comes to your pets! I appreciate clarity when it comes to expectations regarding your pets care.
“Mikayla is super sweet and went above and beyond to take care of my doggo over the weekend! Her pups are also very friendly and I appreciated getting to know her and her animals beforehand. I’d trust her with my dog any time!”
“Maggie did a great job caring for our senior kitty, Jade! She sent daily updates and photos and even arranged her schedule to be there during the fireworks to keep Jade calm and distracted while they were going off. She also picked up our mail for us and the place was clean and tidy when we arrived home. Would highly recommend!”
About: I have had a dog ever since I was 10 years old. I got another dog shortly after and would take care of them both when my parents were away. I watch my neighbors two large dogs for weeks at a time. I enjoy taking dogs on walks outside and playing with them- I treat them as my own. I work another job part time, I go to work early and am usually done around 3 or 4. I am available most weekends all day and am available for overnight care. I am normally off Friday-Sunday. I have a big field in my backyard and am comfortable if you do not live in a fenced in area. I am comfortable putting pets in a crate as well.
“Keesha was a great sitter! She was took amazing care of our 12 year old Maine Coon. The daily drop ins for food, water and treats was just what our grumpy old man needed during our quick weekend away. Daily updates/photos put our minds at ease knowing he was in great hands. Highly recommend Keesha to care for your fur baby! We 100% will be using her again soon!”
“Jessica was great! She was very respectful of my home and made sure Spot got the kind of food she wanted. She brings a lot of experience and knowledge when she comes to take care of your pet!”
“Megan was wonderful with my 3 cats while we were out of town. I was worried the cats wouldn't warm up having a stranger show up to feed them, but Megan was patient and won them over. As a Rover sitter myself I appreciate the effort it takes to make that happen. I will be recommending Megan to anyone that contacts me to sit that I'm not able to do myself!”
“Kat was a great cat sitter for my cat who recently was put on a slew of medications. She handled her complicated medication schedule very well. She took great care of my cat and of my home, and was very responsive to any communications I sent.”
About: I've worked in veterinary medicine for 10 years. I have experience handling most dog breeds and attitudes. I am comfortable administering medications and sticking to their trained routines. I am willing to make drop in visits for dog walks or overnight stays for the more high maintenance pups. I can not offer in my home boarding as I have 5 cats who would probably disown me if I brought a dog inside. I am available for drop in visits early morning and after 4pm Mon to Fri. Open availability on the weekends. I have a reliable car for transportation in case you live outside of Midtown. I am willing to travel a short distance to care for your pet. I will take care of your pet while staying at your home. I will treat the property with respect, as if it's an Airbnb and will get charged a cleaning fee. I will make sure your pet's routine is not disrupted and that they feel comfortable with my presence. I would require a meet and greet before accepting the job and that we take a walk with your pet as well.
“Jennifer was FANTASTIC! Her care was top notch and I felt so secure leaving my kiddos with her. I genuinely think that one of my cats, Toast was disappointed to see us, and not Jennifer. She gave great updates and photos at every visit and we appreciated her so much! I will absolutely contact Jennifer again for care of our kitties.”
The median cost per visit for cat sitting in Westwood is $20
Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Westwood
Absolute perfection! Crissy watched my two kittens for 3 weeks and I could not have asked for a better Rover experience. I’m so grateful for the peace of mind she afforded me while traveling - via consistent updates and wonderful photos that showed how happy and relaxed my kittens were. Crissy was great and super prompt with communication. I will absolutely be booking again and cannot recommend her highly enough! 5/5 stars!
Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of Marci, Chandler! Knowing you were popping in three times a day and being so reliable brought me total peace of mind. The regular photo updates were fantastic and made me feel so connected while I was away. I truly appreciate your exceptional care 🧡
Jennifer and her husband watched our cats while we were on our honeymoon for two weeks and did a fantastic job. They sent us thorough updates each day and gave our problem cat his pill each morning. They followed instructions perfectly, played with them, cleaned up nicely, and gave us peace of mind while we were gone. This was our first time booking with them and would do it again in a heartbeat. We appreciate the care you provided to our boys! Thank you!
Michelle was so amazing, it warmed my heart to know someone was actually giving my cat love and attention as much as I would because that’s usually a pet owners biggest fear. I was out of the country for around two weeks and worried about my cat because she tends to be a little shy and scared of new people and typically i only know how to deal with her. Michelle was perfect !! letting my cat slowly warm up to her presence visit by visit. She would send photos every visit and that was very reassuring, she would play with my cat and feed her and cuddle with gigi. I would get photos of gigi playing, running, and cuddling which is not her norm for when she meets new people so i was very happy with that.There wasn’t a moment where I was worried about my gigi. Michelle is so nice and compassionate and sweet and it shows because my gigi warmed up to her, she responds to messages and updates me where i felt reassured and comfortable, I could not be happier that i found her to take care of my cat and i was honestly lucky to have her as my pet sitter.I would definitely choose her again over anyone if I ever had to leave my cat again but in general with any animal because she actually cares.
Vanessa has a way of putting animals at ease that is so impressive! She is a very thoughtful caretaker who asks great questions and shares fun things she notices about our boys. As a reactive dog mom, I felt comfortable leaving our dog in her care and she went above and beyond to show them extra care and communicated well with us!

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Westwood is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $31 per visit.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .

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.
