About: I have had dogs my entire life. I’m the proud owner of a golden. We walk 3-4 miles a day in the woods behind my house. My cousin has my dogs sister and we have weekly play dates to keep them together! My sister also has an American bully and I love breed! He often comes over for sleep overs and he is my best running buddy! Pet care is extremely important to me! I start my day with play time and long walks! I also think it is very important to keep my dog socialized I put her in daycare once a week to keep her comfortable with all dogs. My day always end with play time typically fetch outside and snuggles on the couch! My dog Rollie is my best friend. We go on 3-4 mile walks everyday in the trials behind my house. I work from home 2 days a week and either my husband or I are home early the other days. This allows for a lot of working from the deck sitting in the sun! I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. I would love to set up a meet and greet so we can all get to know each other. Looking forward to adding a friend for Rollie on our nature walks!
“Alex was great with our pug Lilly. She was reliable, friendly and mature and always on time. She gave us detailed visit reports and photos of the visits. Highly recommend her and would gladly use her services again.”
“Adam is a great sitter! Super communicative, spends quality time with the fur babies, and loves to play with them. They are happy when we get home, and we can tell they’ve had lots of loving care!”
“As always Molly did a great job with Walter! She was caring and understanding of his little stress responses. If you want someone who is kind and understanding of pets, I HIGHLY recommend her.”
“Our pups loved Ally! We had her scheduled for a few months doing drop-ins every weekday while my husband and I shifted our work schedules. Always so kind and responsive, and she sent the cutest pictures of our 2 dogs in the Rover cards!”
“We used Karin for a drop in visit when we were gone for the day. She was wonderful with my nervous dog. Happy pup, happy owner! We hope to have her come again next time we are away.”
“Olivia is amazing! She watched our three high-energy dogs. We have a small Doodle, a medium Doodle, and a very large Golden Retriever. They loved her! She was always on time and shared great photos and updates during her visits. We will definitely rebook Olivia for future visits as she is wonderful with our boys and a great communicator. Thank you, Olivia!”
About: I have experience caring for a wide range of animals—including cats, dogs, fish, guinea pigs, chickens, and bunnies—and I bring compassion and attentiveness to every pet I look after. As a dedicated student currently applying to veterinary schools, my passion for animals drives everything I do. You can trust that your pet's well-being will always be my top priority. When I am not at the veterinary clinic, I am with the animals I am pet sitting or walking. I give plenty of time for enrichment and to let them feel at home and loved. This involves more than an hour of enrichment plus feeding in the mornings before I head off to the clinic, an hour for exercise in the afternoon, and then I spend my evenings with my four legged friends after work. I don't host animals in my own house, but I am more than happy to stay overnight at your house so your animals are more comfortable in their own environment.
“We booked Cristina for a last minute check in. She was very attentive and called me right away when there was an issue getting in our house. Overall she was great and would definitely book again!”
About: I've had the opportunity to work/volunteer at a dog kennel for 7 years. I've taken care of small puppies, big dogs, and everything in between. If you need a dog walker, house sitter, or just a play mate...I got you! I've also have two little puppies back home (Milo and Kiba)! I work fully remote, so I can stay over or swing by if needed! My time is fairly flexible, but would like a days notice of possible. Can make this a frequent routine! I unfortunately cannot provide housing as I live in an apartment complex at does not allow it. However I'm free to come over and visit if provided!
“Ani “The Pet-Whisper”, We had the pleasure of having Ani watch our two kittens. It was the first time we had left them home alone overnight and as typical pet parents, we were nervous. Ani made everything so easy and our kittens love her. Ani is punctual, loving, knowledgeable about many things about cats and dogs. She took great pictures, and detailed notes that helped to ease our minds while we were away. I honestly think our cats were sad to see us when we returned. I know one of them kept looking past us for Ani.”
“Emily did an excellent job of taking care of our beloved fur babies. She went over and above the call of duty, heading over to visit before the snowstorm and then trekking through thigh-deep snow before the snow removal folks did their job. She sent us updates and photos every day and adjusted their food based on what she noticed. We came home to happy kitties. Thank you, Emily.”
“Cate is absolutely spectacular! One of cats is very skittish around people and in just a few visits he was out from under the bed, playing, and even sitting in her lap! Cate is incredibly responsive, very attentive to the boys, and super communicative while we were away (including sending tons of pictures of them hanging out!). We will absolutely be using Cate again!!!”
About: Growing up, my family rescued dogs who experienced behavioral problems. I believe that any dog deserves love and proper care by a trusted individual. I am capable of providing meals, going on walks, playing, bath time and brushing, or just hanging out as company for the pups. I work part-time currently and would LOVE to spend the rest of my free time helping out the pets and their families in the area. I’m free Wednesdays and Fridays from noon to 9pm, Thursdays 10am-2pm, and Saturdays from 3-10pm. I don’t do any house-sitting in my own home. I can provide transportation to dog parks or to the pet store, wherever you need! I can assist senior dogs with physical impairments and provide comfort for anxious dogs as well. I value understanding the wants and needs for the family and their dog, putting your needs first in your home. I am very active and prioritize your pups fitness so active playing and taking walks are vital. I also would let the dog go outside either leashed or unleashed depending on if there’s a fence or not. Any other questions, feel free to contact me:)
About: I have owned, loved and cared for many dogs, cats, birds, hamsters and rabbits since I was very young. I take pride in my work! I currently work full-time days, but have a little bit of time early mornings before work, and have plenty of time after work and nights, and weekends most of the time. We have fenced in yard with plenty of space for running, playing. My family members and I love pets. I pay special attention to detail.
About: I treat every pet like they’re my own—learning their routines, reading their body language, and giving them personalized attention and care. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and always keep pet parents updated with photos and notes, so they feel confident and connected while they’re away. Whether it's high-energy walks, special needs, or just lots of cuddle time, I adapt to each pet's unique personality and needs. I’m currently working part time for the summer because I work in an Elementary school! Since I have a flexible schedule, I’m able to spend quality time with each pet, making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for throughout the day! I can build my schedule around the needs of your pets, wether it’s morning feedings, midday walks, playtime, or evening check-in’s! I will always make sure your dog is safe, and not in any risk of getting out. I will strictly follow clients rules for the dogs to ensure their safety.

My cat is nervous of people and she was able to give him his medications. I would trust Oriana to come to my apartment again in a heartbeat! Highly recommend. 10/10.”

“Danny worked at my boarding kennel for several years during his High School and College years. He is conscientious,capable, smart, loves dogs and is reliable.

Westwood dog parents share their Rover experiences
Lauren did an absolutely fantastic job taking care of my dog! From the start, she was incredibly responsible, responsive, and easy to communicate with. She kept me updated with regular messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. My dog clearly felt comfortable and happy in her care, and it was obvious that Lauren treated her like one of her own. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience — I’ll definitely be booking with her again in the future. Highly recommend Lauren to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!
