About: 🐾Hello! I have over a decade of dog sitting experience, ranging from pomeranians to saint bernards. Whether you need someone to keep up with your energetic pup or provide company and attentive care for your laid back senior dog, I'm here to ensure they feel loved and cared for while you're away. 😊 I currently work full time, monday - friday, as well as attend grad school. My availability for house sitting begins on friday nights after 5pm, and through the weekend! Additional availability for walks and drop in care on weeknights. I work in the Mission/Shawnee area so I may be able to provide drop in care over my lunch break as well. :) Safety and communication are my top priorities. I maintain your pets routine to ensure they feel comfortable, and provide regular updates for your peace of mind. You can expect plenty of photos during our time together. 📸 Feel free to message me to schedule a meet up prior to providing care!
“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!”
“Shannon always takes excellent care of my cats. She is so thoughtful. She makes sure to collect my mail and she leaves the place sparkling clean, which in my opinion is above and beyond. Thanks so much for taking the very best care of my boys!”
“Jonathan was great with Ghost. Jonathan used to pet sit for me when we both lived in Tulsa so I was very excited that he moved up to Kansas City. He is incredibly professional and great with my cats and dogs.”
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.
About: Dogs & cats have been in almost every household I've been a part of since childhood. Since 2019, I've had the honor of caring for my dog, Apollo. He's a sweetheart who is also reactive to other animals, so I've learned a lot about managing his energy and am comfortable working with other animals who might have some challenging behavioral traits. I’m outgoing and energetic, and enjoy taking dogs on long walks. I also enjoy playtime with dogs and cats, and am happy to play fetch or dangle a string to the animal’s content. Also a sucker for cuddle time! I understand the importance of consistency in animal routines and am happy to follow whatever rules & habits you have in place for your pet. I’ve cared for animals with special needs (including special diets and medications), as well as issues hearing/seeing. I work as a freelance writer & editor, so my schedule is generally quite flexible for walks and drop-in visits. I look forward to meeting your lovely animals!
“Charlett was Amazing. She followed all of our requests. I never had to worry because she regularly sent in pictures and updates on how the dogs were doing. If possible, I will only use her from now on.”
About: My job is to help your dog(s) be most comfortable while you're away. Be it through daily exercise, romps through the dog or neighborhood park, constant rub downs and playing chase, your pup(s) won't even have a moment to realize you're gone, but they'll still be thrilled to see you when you get home. I've been dog sitting for over 20 years and have experience with various types of dogs, dog personalities, and health conditions. Contact me to watch your pooch(es) and you won't regret it! I love dogs and walk my dog regularly. My dog loves being around other dogs but we’re a single dog house for our full-time lives. I’d love my dog to get some extra friend time while I get to love on other pups. I have a fenced yard, the perfect raised deck for puppy tv, yard leashes (if needed), a crate (if needed), several bedroom options if your pup needs a quiet place to rest, and sooo many dog beds! I do use furniture protectors to keep my couches clean for the humans but it allows the dogs to live among us on our elevated perches.
About: I groom dogs as well as have an existing client base with pet sitting/dog walking. I also used to be a rabbit breeder and have general experience with many animals. I originally worked in a dog daycare/hotel and shifted to grooming after moving to PA My work/school schedule isn't consistent. But generally I'm awake between the hours of 5am-11pm with wake up times and sleep times varying around those marks. Whatever schedule your pup needs I'm able to accommodate. I have an extremely friendly and passive Corgi named Fiona and a friendly and playful Pomeranian named Victoria. I have have 2 cats but they are able to be separated if it's an issue for your friend.
About: Hello! I’m Davis, I’m 27, and I have grown up around and caring for dogs my entire life. I have experience dealing with both senior dogs and puppies too! I currently live with my families dog Nelson, who is a one year old labradoodle. I have cared for and watched over my friends and extended family’s dogs when they’ve requested help. I have also volunteered at animal shelters around the metro through my time in high school and college. I am ready to provide walks, enrichment, meds, treats and whatever else your pup might need! Please feel free to reach out to me for any additional questions! I’m available most weekdays and weekends. I am currently studying from home to finish my graduate degree, but am flexible enough to work almost any event into my immediate schedule. For my own dog, he is let out ~10 times daily, walked twice a day, and we also try to spend at least 10-15 minutes on training. I also try to check my dogs paws, ears, eyes, and teeth a couple times per week to make doubly sure he is in good health. For my clients dogs, I would provide the same kind of attention to detail and safety I do for my own dog. You can expect timely correspondence back to you and the utmost care for your pup.
About: Hello my name is Anna! I have had dogs and cats all my life and have been dog sitting for my family for years. I am very comfortable around all breeds and sizes, including high energy breeds and have had experience with many different dog personalities. I have such a passion for animals and I can not wait to shower your pets with love and care. I am a nurse, so I am very responsible and am comfortable administering medications to your pup or cat. I do work full-time as a nurse but have a flexible schedule. Please contact me with any questions you many have. I promise to love your pet as my own and I can't wait to meet your dog or cat!
“Kayla was amazing with our pups! She was great at communicating with us and sending us plenty of pictures and videos. Our dogs are not used to being around anyone new but she was so patient with them. Will definitely book with her again!”
“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.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Westwood
Ron is fantastic! Great communication, 100% reliable, and the dogs love him. When we leave them in Ron’s care (several scheduled drop-in visits a day), we can relax and enjoy our time away without having to wonder for even a moment whether the pets are okay. This kind of peace of mind is priceless!
One word: incredible. From the moment I met Joann, I could tell she was a very genuine and caring person (& my dog could too)! Throughout the visit, I was updated with pictures & she handled my dog’s many needs with ease - bladder expression, mobility, wound care, etc. Highly, highly recommend!!
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 :)

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Westwood is $17 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $28 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 2,680 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Westwood. 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 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 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 Meet & Greet.
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.

- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 96% 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 cancellation policy, 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.
