“So great. This was the first pet sitter I’d hired and she did amazing with our older cat. She gave her pills and so many cuddles while we were out of town. I also appreciated all the Rover cards, updates, and great communication. When we go out of town again, Maddie will be the first person I contact.”
“Sharon did a great job. My kitties were happy when I returned home. In the past one of them would have behavior issues, not using box, when we were out of town. Having Sharon spend an hour a day with them solved this problem.”
About: I have shared my home with various dog breeds and personalities since birth. I will love your dog as much as you do! I look forward to providing your dog with the same care they receive from you. Whether that's giving them long walks or playing with them around the house, I will maintain your dog's strictest routines. My flexible schedule allows me to visit your home multiple times a day to give your best friend the attention they deserve. My extroverted personality, attention to detail. and positive attitude will grant you peace of mind, and your dog a new best friend!

With my flexible work schedule, I am available to walk or check in on your pets. I am also available in the evenings when you need a break. I am happy to continue your routines when dog sitting to keep your pet comfortable. We can easily discuss what that looks like for you.

“Vanessa was wonderful with our 2 frenchies! She sent updates on their bathroom schedule and photos and even cleaned up our puppy's crate and play area! She was very reliable, respectful and responsible!”
“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.”
“Jenna was absolutely incredible! Super friendly, sent lots of photos, always made sure their food was full and their litter was clean. Gave constant updates which was deep appreciated as someone who is an anxious cat mom!”
“I’ve used Rover as a caretaker but never as a pet parent before and Jake calmed all my nerves! He kept me updated with pictures and notes about how Obie was doing in my absence. Seeing Obie warm up to Jake and become friends was so sweet. I’ll use him again in the future.”
“Kylee was a WONDERFUL Rover sitter! She was on time based on our agreement every day, she treated my pup like her own, and sent the best pictures! I will definitely book her again! (Once Coronavirus allows me to get back to business as usual).”
“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!”
“Kirin is always reliable and consistent. She often takes the dogs for walks even when not requested. She is so caring, spends time playing with our pups and gives them a fun midday potty break 3x a week. She goes above and beyond, would recommend to anyone!”
About: I got my first family dog when I was in middle school, no professional experience but I know to handle and care for dogs, wanting to gain some professional experience I currently work part time, about 30 hours a week. Weekday evenings after 5, Friday afternoons/evenings, and weekends are free! Looking to help with short term dog care as I gain experience in pet care. I don’t currently have any pets, but I have a spacious apartment with a fenced in backyard and a small front yard. Near lots of parks.
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.
“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!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Westwood
Ron was absolutely wonderful with our senior dogs, Buddy and Darla! He took such great care of them over the weekend and made sure to give us updates and pictures. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands and being well cared for. We truly appreciate the love and attention he gave them and would highly recommend Ron to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter. We will definitely book with him again!
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 🧡
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!!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Westwood is $19 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $12 and $31 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 2,779 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Westwood. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 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.
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.
