“Sophie watched our dog again, and she was fantastic as always. Our dog absolutely loves her and is always so happy to see her. Sophie is reliable, caring, and treats our dog like she’s her own. We feel lucky to have someone we can trust with our sweet girl.”
“Jennifer was great! She came over once a day to feed the cat and clean the litter box. I got lots of updates and photos. It was nice to get messages from someone who enjoyed hanging out with my cat.”
“Jasmine took such great care of our kitty! She was quick to respond when I reached out last minute about drop in visits and she arranged to meet our cat promptly. She was extremely sweet and kind when she came to our house and we can tell our cat enjoyed her visits! She sent detailed notes and lots of pictures of our cat while we were out of town and she even offered to water my plant! We will definitely ask Jasmine for help the next time we go out of town!”
“Nicole was amazing! Very friendly very personable. Took great care of our cat while we were away. Gave detailed reports of how he was doing. Kept track of some of his behaviors we’ve been monitoring. And sent some of the CUTEST photos. 10 out of 10. Will definitely book with her again in the future.”
“Jessica is very knowledgeable and helpful with helping pets to take in corrective behavior. Our pet has some stress when separated from us and she was great with his stress and gave us some wonderful pointers to help in the future. I would definitely book with her again. 😊”
“August was outstanding. We booked ten drop-in visits over the holidays for our two cats, and everything was handled with care, consistency, and attention to detail. Feeding, litter box cleaning, playtime, and weight monitoring were all done perfectly. Communication was excellent, with detailed updates and plenty of photos after each visit. Even our request for an additional day of care was accommodated easily. August also went above and beyond by bringing in packages and offering thoughtful, practical suggestions to help reduce our cats’ stress while we were away. One of our cats sprays outside the litter box when stressed, and every incident was cleaned promptly without hesitation. Visits were consistently on schedule, which really helped our cats adjust. It was clear real time was spent getting to know our little guys, including remembering which toys each cat preferred and making sure both cats got their wet and dry food, even though one tends to bully the other at mealtime. We felt completely at ease knowing our cats were in such capable hands, and would not hesitate to book again or recommend August to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive sitter.”
“Mackenzie was so amazing! She stayed right on schedule and made sure to communicate with me each day and even helped me recognize that i incorrectly scheduled her assistance plan and got it all squared away for me. Will definitely be requesting her services again!”
“We had to go out of town last minute for a funeral and my pets loved Ava last time so I was hoping she would be available. We got lucky! She spent some quality time with them on what would otherwise be an extremely long day and I was so appreciative!”
“Looking for the 6th star! Rebekah is THAT GOOD! She gets even my big grumpus Sheldon to come out and play, is super flexible with scheduling, and takes great pictures. I love being able to travel knowing that my babies are getting the very best care and attention!”
About: I am a huge animal person and love to take care and play with your pets of any kind! I have been cat sitting and dog walking for years for family and neighbors, and have always been there for even a short pop-in visit. Working in my local animal shelter I specialized in both feline and canine care, and know everything about keeping your pet happy and healthy. I have two cats of my own that I treat like my babies and grew up with dogs all my life, and I hope I can treat your pets as good as my own! I am currently working part time with a varying schedule, but will typically have the same days off every week which will allow me to have a more consistent schedule when caring for your pet. I will always approach a new dog or cat with caution and assess their behavior before jumping right in, not only for my well-being but also theirs to avoid any extra stress.
About: Hi I’m Ellie and I’m 22 years old! Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and I truly believe they are one of life’s greatest gifts. Growing up, my family had six dogs, mostly large breeds, along with a couple of smaller dogs so I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I currently have two Black Labs, ages 3 and 5, who keep me active and remind me every day how important exercise, attention, and love are for a dog’s well-being. I understand that every dog has unique needs, and I’m committed to providing safe, reliable, and compassionate care. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, belly rubs, or simply having someone nearby, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and loved!!! My goal is to treat every dog as if they were my own and give you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. (: (I am unavailable Monday, Wednesday and Fridays from 7 am- 2pm due to school). I strive to be as flexible as possible and am happy to work with your schedule. I currently work as a server, so my weekday hours can vary, but I am often able to adjust my schedule when needed. I am available for early morning visits starting around 8:00 AM, as well as afternoon and early evening visits. If you have specific scheduling needs, feel free to reach out! I will always do my best to accommodate you and ensure your pet receives the care and attention they deserve. I am not offering pet care in my own home. However, I am available for house sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking in my clients’ homes. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat both their pets and their home with the utmost respect. I understand how important it is to maintain your pet’s normal routine, so I follow all instructions carefully regarding feeding schedules, exercise, medications, and any special needs. I also make sure your home is kept clean, secure, and exactly as you left it. Having owned dogs my entire life, I know that pets thrive when they feel comfortable and cared for. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free experience for your pets while giving you peace of mind when you’re away
“Allison was great, she was easy to get a hold of and was always on time. Allison was great with both my dog and cat and the pets really liked her. She even went the extra mile and changed her schedule so it would work better for us. I would recommend her and look forward to working with her again in the future.”
“Evey has been terrific with my little rescue Marco. He is frightened of many things but continues to open up with each visit she makes. I do not worry when I am at work because I know he is enjoying her daily visits.”
“Kadyn was amazing, she had very detailed reports and lots of photos. I can tell that my pup enjoyed her visits. I will hire her again if I need more pet sitting.”

Lizzy was awesome! Gave us such peace of mind by popping in to feed and walk our lab. And she was very communicative, knowledgeable and kind! I also asked my pup what he thought and he said 10/10 would recommend for good pats and cuddles! Looking forward to booking with her again :)
Sarah was absolutely wonderful with our 10-month-old dog, Carl! He had to wear a cone during his stay, and she took the best care of him. She was incredibly responsive, kept us updated, and made us feel so comfortable the entire time. We also really appreciated that she took the time to meet us before the actual visit—it gave us so much confidence leaving Carl in her care. She truly gave us peace of mind, and we couldn't recommend her more highly!
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!
Erika has been amazing with Tonka! She’s reliable, caring, and I can tell she genuinely enjoys spending time with him. Tonka absolutely loves her and is always happy to see her. It gives me peace of mind knowing he’s in great hands. Highly recommend Erika to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their pup!
Chris was amazing and I was so happy my Katie girl did so great considering it was my first time using Rover! Chris made me feel so comfortable and sent the cutest photos of Katie and her bestie cats. I’m so pleased and can’t wait to have Chris again when I am needing help!
Evey has been absolutely terrific with my little rescue. He is anxious about many things, but Evey spends quality time with him at her daily drop-in and is helping him to come out of his shell. I can tell he is enjoying her visits by how he interacts with me when I arrive back home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Westwood stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Westwood 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
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 Westwood with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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 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.
